Coin Envelope Mini Album

Hello everyone ;-) 

I'm here today to share with you my project for Where Ideas Bloom. It's a quick and easy gift, this one can be used as stocking fillers... just an idea :-) 

I recycled one continuous piece of cereal box and scored it for the front, back and closer of this little mini. The pages are made using the Floral Envelopes and all you do is adhere them together using Sookwang double sided tape going down the center in the back of each envelopes. By adhering in the center and NOT on the edges, you give the envelopes room to grow with pictures on the tags (inside each envelopes) and extra memorabilia. The last one will adhere to the inside of your back cover.

Of course I decorated the outside using Vintage Pink Lilac flowers and Sequins from the store. 

Thanks for visiting me today :-)

School Projects, Home Work...

Good morning :-)

Today I'm sharing my DT project for Where Ideas Bloom.

So in order to keep things in order (ha) I altered a memo holder to suit our needs (my son and I) he's getting more and more homework and projects... as to make sure we don't forget what's due when, we have a checklist/memo station - so to speak. 

This holder has a space for a photo but we won't be using it for that... checklist will be in it's place. To make it a little whimsy/fun I've added this cute Apple Rug Rat and Wooden Glasses which I both colored with copics markers. 

Thanks for stopping by :-)

So for my first project I created a Shabby Chic Mini Album and I totally love how it turned out! I used papers "Treasures by Shabby Chic" and believe it or not the front, spine and back covers are one unit... that's because I recycled a computer parts box that measured 7"x7", I love recycling! The pages are cardstock and then the designer papers. Embellished with some cut outs from the collections, laces, resin, die cuts and blings.

Scallop Mini Album

Good morning crafty friends :-) 

Today is my turn on Where Ideas Bloom blog and I'd like to share my project I've created using goodies from WIB Store.

I guess you figured out by now if you are a follower that I love creating mini albums! Yes, I've created another one (so addicting!) This time I've created it using dies and cereal boxes - I love recycling. 

To give my album that oh so sparkle glamour look, I use Pink String Sequins, Forget Me Not flowers,

Gourd Pins to hang my charms and Fabric Flowers and Pearls sprays (coming soon). 

Thank you so much for visiting and talk to you soon :-)

Nesting...

Good morning crafty people :-) 

Today I want to share a quick project with you using Bird's Nest and Kraft Twine from 

Where Ideas Bloom. As you can see the bird's nest is a good size and makes a fun embellishment to your decorative piece, I used the kraft twine to resemble those pieces of vines or grass or stuff that's hanging out from the bird's nest that they gather.

Bird Cage was made from Chipboard.

Thanks so much for visiting me today and I hope you visit the store as goodies are added often :-) 

Talk to you soon!

For my Card I've chosen the Garden Silhouette #600 stamp set.

 

What I did...

1.   Kraft card base measure 6 ½ x 5 ½

2.   Die-cut Sun Ray using StickerPaper. Add Crystal Ice glitter to it. Pop up the sun using dimensional foam tape.

3.   Emboss with Antiquities, cut out and color flowers from My Rose Garden using Prismacolor Pencils. Add glossy accents to the leaves and seed beads to the center of flowers. Add Moss Star embossing powder to the petals.

4.   Stamp and emboss the Garden Silhouette #600 using White Detail embossing powder on designer paper.

5.   Matting the DP with Kraft CS, lining the edge of Kraft CS with 1/8 Tear-ific Tape adding Peruvian Lily glitter on tape to create a border around DP. Add another layer of matting with white CS, pop up with dimensional foam tape.

6.   Stamp and heat emboss sentiment from Garden Silhouette #600 with WhiteDetail EP on Kraft CS and out line with PeruvianLily glitter.

For my Round Shadow Box using the Floral Flourish stamp set

What I did...

1.   Recycled a round cardboard packaging into a shadow box. To create an opening in the top lid but leaving enough space on the lid for adhering decorations, trace a circle and cut out with craft knife.

2.   Cover all surfaces with designer paper. To make the outer edge of the lid wider, from designer paper cut a circle wider in diameter than your lid and using Martha Stewart punch to give a decorative edge. Using the negative that was cut from the opening of the lid, trace and cut the opening from the designer paper as well. Layer the decorative edge circle on top of the lid to give it a nice finish. The openings will match up perfectly.

3.   Stamp, cut out and color Floral Flourish using Prismacolor Pencils. Add SunnyDaze and Fiery Fushia.

4.   Stamp, emboss and color the largest rose from My Rose Garden three times. Leaving the first stamp image intact, cut off the outer petals from the second stamp image, then cut off the two layers of petals from the third stamp image leaving just the rose bud. Use dimension adhesive in between each layer of the rose to give a 3D effect.

5.   For wooden butterfly, outline each section with Dimensional Glue adding HanaumaBay, Luau Green, Sunny Daze and FieryFushia glitters.

6.   Stamp sentiment or title from Bird House and cut out using Spellbinders Ribbon Banner. Curl banner and pop up with dimensional adhesives.

7.   Adhere ribbon around the outside of shadow box, leaving a loop at the top for hanging on a wall.

Note: To get the Flourish on the left hand side, the image was stamp, scanned and flip.

I hope you have enjoyed our hop this month and thank you for your patience.

Thanks for stopping by :-)
