Feature Item at Scrapbookers Paradise from May 16 - 31

Happy Wednesday everyone!!  The featured Item at scrapbookers Paradise for May 16 - 31 is the 3L Duo Packs.  They are regularly $12.50 but are on sale for $10.50.  If you are ordering online please quote 'FIDP' in the comment section!

So using this product, this is what I have to share today:).

It is my sons 7th Birthday today so I thought I would use that as inspiration!  I was thinking this card would be great for any age and it has a good masculine feel to it while still technique packed!!

The main technique I focused on was the faux patina technique that was featured on splitcoast stampers!!  I fell in love with it instantly!!  while they used another companies inks,  I went straight to my trusty distress inks and these are the ones I chose: Frayed Burlap, Faded Jeans, Bundled sage and of course my go to walnut stain!!  I used them in that order as well.

The first thing I did was to coat the flat side of the Tim Holtz honeycomb folder with frayed Burlap then put put my cream colored cardstock in and ran it through my big shot!

 

The next thing I did once it was embossed was to apply the faded jeans ink with a foam pad and then followed the same procedure and added the bundled sage then the walnut stain!

For the finishing touches of this technique you lightly rub inked image with versa mark and apply a gold embossing powder and heat! 

I then stuck all my pieces down using the 3L tape runner!

Happy Tuesday

Today I have a great way of making a quick and easy rolled paper flower! 

On the weekend it was my friend Tamara's daughter (Ella) first Birthday!!  I always like to try and add a homemade element to all gifts weither it is homemade card or the gift:)  This is what I made!

It was alot of fun!  To see what I used for products please check out the Paradise Pondering blog!

This is how I made the rolled paper flowers.

The first thing I did was cut a circle.  I didn't worry about the shape so much:)

I then cut the circle into a spiral.



To roll the flower I used a Paper tool made by Imaginese.  Start at the outer edge and work your way to the center.





Then using glossy accents I glued it together



Thank you for stopping by and I hope this little tutorial was helpfull

Happy Friday!!

Hello!  It just dawned on me that I have not posted anything for a couple of weeks!  So here is a box I made for the paradise Ponderings Blog!

It is amazing what you can do with a $2.00 wooden box from Dollarama and some acrylic paint and patterned paper!!!

The next item I have to show is a mini album that I made for a class (I am teaching it tomorrow at the south store!).  I needed a place to keep some of my baby photos so this is what I came up with!!  There is also NO pattern paper in this,  it is all stamped!

On this last page,  there is actually 4 separate books in a little mini, mini album!

Thank you for stopping by!!
