Le Materiel de Scrapbook

One thing I really miss is scrapbooking with my sisters. We all get together and sit around cutting paper and pictures. Here are some of my Le Materiel de Scrapbook I have created! Enjoy!













Vintage Candy Stripe Name Cards and Favor Tags

I thought of a creative way to create cute (yet eco friendly) favors for a vintage candy themed party. I letterpressed this very simple, yet chic name cards that can be used for either for name cards, table cards or favor tags.

The paper has a slight cream color which goes perfectly with this sweet vintage look. The red is very sweet against the pink.

Using a kraft paper bag and a clothes pin, I filled the bag with goodies and fastened it with the clothes pin. I love how retro chic it looked, not to mention it would be great for an outdoor party.

I also made table card holders out of the clothes pins, although that was tricky. I suggest buying pink play dough making a ball to hold down the pin.
I also looped a string a round the clothes pin and hung it on the wall. I thought the would be great hung by a chair, so your guests know where to sit.



Joined Ladies of Letterpress


When I was a child, I visited a local museum in Lancaster that had a great letterpress history exhibit, or so I remember. I also remember it being TERRIBLY boring. I would have preferred to watch cupcakes cooling on a window sill. I went back a year when I was getting back into letterpressing and it was SOOOO awesome.

My Kelsey Excelsior was getting to know me (role reversal) and how I roll. Testing paper, playing with ink was incredible. Setting up the press, rolling the ink testing and creating prints would take me about 6 hours. It was a weekend job. So I decided to join a club that defines my tenure-The Ladies of Letterpress!

As I have grown with it and even simplified my process. I have learned to enjoy the printmaking process, in addition to being more patient with it. I think I am ready for bigger machinery, after my trip to Paris. That is, if the volcano doesn`t take a break.

How to Wrap Couture Cupcake Liners

I have been meaning to make a tutorial about these for a while. These are a bit different than the fabric ones I did before, as these curve a bit more into the cupcake.

Also these liners are available at FashionableStationery.com. So if you are looking for customizations, please email me at elaine@elainebiss.com. Bears mentioning that these are for standard, small cupcakes and I can make bigger ones, per your request.



After you receive your liners, cut them,
curve them around your thumb so you can see how it will sit on your cupcake.
Fasten the liner with a bit of tape.
Voila!
