Paper Dolls Challenge Week 4 – Wearin’ my flippy – floppy’s!

June 25, 2011 by Rebecca Wagner 9 Comments

Well folks, it’s that time again. The weekly challenge over at the Paper Dolls. OK, maybe not “that time again” as it is over tomorrow and a new one starts Monday.  Well, What can I tell you, I’m a slacker! This week we were asked to decorate a flip-flop.  The file we are using was generously donated by Eleanor of SVG Shop fame!  This has to be one of the cutest files I have ever seen.  I think I am going to have a Luau themed party and make a bunch of these for take-home gifts.  Sometimes though, I just wish God had given me a girl. *sigh*  She would have the most tricked out room on the planet.  I have three nieces but they don’t live close enough for me to spoil them with my paper goodies. *sigh again*

It’s kind of funny that I made a flip-flop, I loathe the things.  I have to be the only person in the world who doesn’t wear them.  I have tried for years to get into the whole cute little flippy thing.  Maybe it was my grandmother who ruined me for them.  She used to work in a shoe store during WWII and had kind of a shoe fetish.  I was made to wear shoes that always had some kind of a heel. So, I cannot stand to feel like I am barefoot or have that crazy thong between my toes.  Yuck!

I have to admit though, when I go to the store, I get weak when all I find are the cutest little flip-flops.  I love the way they look, they just hurt.  What does all this have to do with my entry for the challenge?  Absolutely nothing!  Haha!  Well, if I found a pair like the ones that were already submitted to this challenge, I would try my darnest to wear them.  Maybe that is where I was going with that.  Sheesh, me and my rabbit holes.

Onto the flippy!  Along with Eleanor’s file and Make the Cut, I used DCWV’s Lemon Flower stack, Lettering Delights Cloud Nine for the Felicity tag and the free Pinwheel file from SVG Cuts.  I resized the Pinwheel to 3″ wide and didn’t put it together per the instructions.  I kind of fudged on that because it didn’t have to function for my needs, just needed to an embellishment.  Having two-sided paper would have been nice but I wanted to use the same stack.

I used the Bezier warp function in Make the Cut for the Felicity tag instead of cutting out the cloud and name separately.  Then I just placed a piece of black card stock behind to make the name stand out.  I wanted to make it look like a designer shoe with the tag.  I guess my new “brand” is Felicity.  Which, by the way, means bliss, happiness. See the connection?  I just might have to use that as a shortcut name.  Do you know what a pain it is to type “happy card encouragement factory” everywhere?  I told Nathan maybe I should have sat on his name a while. o_O  Oops, rabbit hole….watch out…OK, back now, phew.

While trying to fix the seams I had messed up, I thought a little bead of Viva Decor Paper Pen in Opal would hide it.  As always when I try to “fix” something, I make it worse. I dotted it around to look like a string of pearls.  Looks a little better but next time I won’t fiddle with it.

All in all, I think it came out very nice, loving the Lemon Flower stack.  Great colors!  Don’t forget to get over to Paper Dolls and grab your freebie flip-flop file. So, what do you think of my flippy, the file, the colors, my shortcut name, anything?  Hit me up in the comments, I would love to hear what you think or have to say!

    I love your colors for your flip-flops!!! So fresh and clean, and so fun wit the pinwheel! I was wondering how you made a button for your blog??? Also I tried to find buttons from other blogs that I could post on my blog…but so far yours was the easiest to locate.

    Hi Therese, I cheated and bought a premade template from Dreamlike Magic designs on Etsy. It came with a button with code, header and a few other goodies. I did make my first one with the info from Jo Lynne’s blog here: http://www.musingsofahousewife.com/2009/03/how-to-design-a-blog-button.html Very simple directions!
