Shabby Mini flip album

Wow it is getting hot here in the beautiful Bay of Plenty.  I have been crafting non stop trying to fulfil  orders and create stock for some up and coming markets.  In between I take lil breaks and do lil projects for myself and a couple of things for my crafty friends. 

 

 

Toady I wanna show you a Mini Album I created and it only uses 1 piece of cardstock and 2 pieces of patterend paper and on top of that it is so easy peasy.  My friend Kimi told me about a great tutorial for this lil mini and I thought it would be a great lil gift to make up for a few of my crafty friends.

Christmas Cracker Blog Hop - Tasha

Hey there

 

Hope every one is having fun doing the blog hop.  Remember you need to visit each DT members blog to get all the secret words you need :)

If you have been keeping up with the blog you will have seen some beautiful crackers done by my fellow DT gals here at Scottie Crafts and now it's my turn.

 

 

 

To create the flower I used the Poinsettia Die an alterations die from Sizzix.  I cut out the 2 smallest ones with the paper from Couture Creations - A Vintage Christmas and layered them up.

 

 

To create some dimension in the flower I placed the petals on an old mouse pad and moving a stylus in circular motions I was able to get this effect  (thanks Kimi )

 

 

 

 

Pssstttt  the secret word is  "contest"

 

See you next week with another fun project.

Happy crafting

Altered Lace Bobbins

Here's a sneak peek at a couple of Lace Bobbins I have been altering.  My inspiration came from a friend who did some gorgeous ones and I was so blessed because my special scrappy angel sent me not only the bobbins but heaps of yummies to embellish them with.  Here is a couple of pics of the ones I have done so far but I will be back with more and a vid in a few days.



Flowers

Hey there

Just wanted to post a pic of the flowers I have been making. I have used all kinds of fabrics and lace embellished them with gorgeous centres.  So much fun to make.  I love to have a flower binge every so often.

Hey guys with Christmas coming up I have had a lot of orders for mini albums and I just thought I would share a few with you.  They are Paper bag Mini's measuring slightly bigger than a 6" x 6".  I am just packing for a weekend away camping with my beautiful family so this is just a Hi and Bye with a few pics.  Happy crafting everyone :)

 

 

Hey there crafty peeps :)

Well I must say it got pretty festive here in my lil crafty corner.  I ripped into my November Christmas Kit with gusto and came up with a couple of Tag/Cards (for lack of a better name)

The papers I used were from Couture Creations- Vintage Christmas and I loved this stack of paper.  Nice muted tones, heaps of journal spots and other cut out elements that you will see more in my projects to come.  As you can see above I did one in more Traditional colours and the other I "shabby chic'd " it up a bit.

 

 

Layering the paper with this beautiful lace gave the tag some dimension.  I embellished by cutting this lil bird out from the paper and some adhesive pearls.  I distressed the edges of my paper, this fastens with a brad and some seam binding.

 

Below you will see I used the bird again, more layering of the paper and added some more of the designer paper inside with a place to write your message. A very fun, quick and as always easy project and will be a special touch on any gift.  Maybe even create a pocket to put a gift card in...who wouldn't love that!!!

 

 

 

Also in my DT Kit I received some co-ordinations cardstock in seaweed and this great embossing folder -  so as an extra I thought I would make an easel card.

Rand the embossing folder through my cutting machine and lightly sanded with an emery board the raised bits to reveal the other colour underneath.  I then put a little stickles in to give it some sparkle and that was the front of my simple but pretty card.

 

 

 

 

The inside was just as simple.  The card base I used was Basil cardstock in Caramel and it measure 13cm x 13cm.  I used the bottom part of the embossed card stock on some more layered cardstock.

 

 

 

So guys that's me for another week.  I hope you are all getting stuck into your Christmas projects. I know all the Scottie Craft DT Ladies are doing some amazing work :)
