Little Yellow Bicycle "Sticks" with Xyron - Blog Swap Day 2

We are delighted with how many fans stopped by yesterday at both our blog and the Xyron blog.  It's so much fun to see what the Xyron design team created with our Acorn Hollow collection.  Today we continue "Sticking Together" and we want our fans to be able to "stick" with us too.  We have some goodies to send our fans from Xyron, please see the end of this post for more details.

Altered Project by Biker Chick Heather Leopard

Heather here to say that I am soo excited to play with the new Xyron Create a Sticker product that they sent to the Little Yellow Bicycle design team! It is so easy to make your own sticker from whatever paper design you are working with. I just so happened to use the Little Yellow Bicycle Acorn Hollow goodies for today's project, which is a paper pumpkin.

I cut the pumpkin using my CAMEO and a cutting file I downloaded from their store but you could easily do this by cutting multiple circles and then perforating the inside edges to form a triangle. I also cut a stem and set it aside. Once the circles were cut I ran them through the sticker maker.

They came out on a long strip as shown below and all I had to do was peel them off. Instantly I had a great little sticker.

Next, I folded the circles at the edges and adhered them, sticky sides together, to each other, turning the perforated flaps up. I continued to adhere them to each other until they formed a "ball". I added the stem and some ribbon to top off the project.


I think these would look great with two more pumpkins in different sizes, perched on my table in the entryway.
