Creations by AR ‘Love is in the Air’ Customer Blog Hop

 Welcome to the Creations by AR 'Love is in the Air' Customer Blog hop. I am the last station on the hop and if you happen to come by here, please start on Lisa's to get hopping.

The theme of the hop is Valentine's Day and I chose the Paper Planter Freebie as my template. All instructions are included with this template which to me was a bonus.  I chose to do two planters since I wanted to showcase how they can be decorated differently.

I did not need a lot of tools since I needed only a scoring board, my pair of scissors and my printer. The rest of the supplies used for each template is listed below.

 For this one, I printed the template on Gina K Cherry Red Cardstock, scored and cut the template. I also chose to decorate the outside with some Martha Stewart Valentine's papers, added some adhesived heart ribbons on a roll and tied the corners with some red baker's twine.

For the second one, I chose to print the template directly on the Martha Stewart patterned paper and scored. Instead of punching the holes on the corners, I decided to hold the corners with some brown baker's twine and added some adhesived glittered ribbon on a roll for the borders.

 

ETA: I thought I had this picture here but I was wrong. My sincere apologies!
