Hello Everyone,
Karen joining you today to show you how to make an American Flag with Diamond Dew Drops. I used the flag to embellish a card but I think the flag would look great on a scrapbook layout as well. It is super easy to do so grab your Diamond Dew Drops and follow me.
Old Glory Diamond Dew Drops
liquid adhesive
red/white/blue card stock
card base (5×7″)
bracket die cut
2. Apply liquid adhesive in a column on white card stock and move each gem into place. To align the columns precisely, place a ruler along the edge of the gems and press lightly.
(TIP – Alignment of the gems is critical in the creation of the image. What appears to be a minuscule gap will get increasingly more pronounced as the design expands. Be vigilant as you assemble each row to avoid frustration and disappointment later.)
3. Cut a bracket shape from white card stock. Matte the white bracket with blue card stock. Attach red card stock to the front of a landscape card base leaving a narrow white frame.
4. When the glue has dried cut around the flag shape and adhere it inside the bracket. Finally, adhere the embellishment centered on the card base.

Karen here to share how to make a spectacular heart embellishment. Here is a quick and easy romantic card just in time for Valentine’s Day. Grab your favorite color of Diamond Dew Drops and let’s get going.
Whether for Valentine’s Day, an anniversary, or just because, this is a lovely design to let someone know they are in your heart.
Directions:
1. Align diamond dew drops to form a heart shape. When you are happy with the size and shape, attach the diamond dew drops onto scrap paper with liquid glue. After thoroughly dry, cut out the heart embellishment.
(TIP: Attaching the dew drops to scrap paper rather than directly to the project reduces stress and the frustration of possibly gluing the design off center or slightly crooked. This method allows you to create an embellishment that you can then attach to any type of paper-craft project with perfect placement.)
2. Apply pattern scrapbook paper to a square card base. Adhere a strip of lace vertically across the center of the card.
3. Attach a doily embellishment to the middle of the card.
4. Finally, adhere the diamond dew drop heart to the center of the card.

Are you all feeling as ready for spring as I am? Let’s make a mixed media tag to celebrate spring being around the corner.
It’s hard to believe it’s time to begin thinking about what to do for Valentine’s Day. I have a wonderful idea, that requires a little planning and a bit of patience to execute, to share with you today. This project will take and hour to prepare and 24 hours to complete.
Materials:
Dew Drops, I particularly love how the mix of black white and red came out
Prima extra fine glitter
Heart shaped mold – I selected one from Wilton brand
Plastic cups with graded measurements 8oz disposable plastic cups for paint and epoxy mixing
Wooden mixing sticks
Art n’ Glow Clear Casting and Coating Epoxy Resin – 16 ounce kit
Reynolds non-stick foil
Torch or heat gun
Steps:
1. Prepare everything you need on your work table. I recommend covering your table with butcher paper in case of spills. The epoxy hardens everywhere!
2. In separate cups put equal amounts of epoxy resin and hardener. I used six ounces of each.
3. Mix resin and hardener as directed with a wooden mixing stick in a third plastic cup. Once the resin is thoroughly mixed you will have about 40 minutes to work with it before it begins hardening.
4. Pour resin mixture into prepared forms
5. Add dew drops in your favorite color and add glitter as desired.
6. Heat with torch or heat gun to remove bubbles
7. Cover with foil and leave to dry in a flat place for 24 hours, this allows the resin to cure and harden. After 24 hours you can unmold your hearts! If you wish you can add rub ons on the back in your favorite words, or just keep them plain and display them!
Hope you have a great time making this little token of Valentine love!
