Vintage Love Scrapbook Layout

Hello!  Today, I have a 8 x 8 scrapbook layout to share with you.  I love old vintage pictures and especially wedding pictures.  Sometimes when I have old photos I like to make layouts that I can put on an easel and display for a home decor piece.  Usually these layouts are a little heavier on the embellishments since they won't be in a scrapbook.   

Here is the layout that I designed using an old family photo.  This is one of the photos that I got this past summer when we were at my family reunion.  I am going to have to show this to my grandpa so I can find out the name of the couple, there was no writing on the back of the photo.  But I just love this picture and thought it needed to be put in to a layout.  The bride had a beautiful gown and a gorgeous bouquet of roses.

I used Prima Challis Tea-Thyme Collection for the printed paper.  I thought it would look so pretty with the photo.  Then I cut/embossed LF-015 Grand Decorative Circles One using Champagne Metallic cardstock and layered that behind the photo.  I used a piece of Simply Smooth Ivory to mat the photo.  For the flower cluster I used S5-086 Bitty Blossoms and  S5-129 Foliage Two.  I cut/embossed all of the piece using Simply Smooth Ivory cardstock and then once I had the roses and leaves shaped I airbrushed them using Copic markers.  I used R20, RV10, R85 to color the roses and G24 for the leaves.

Here is a close up.  I also tucked in some small pieces of vintage lace trim, trinket pins and bling.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Please be sure to stop back tomorrow--I will be posting some fun Halloween Blog Candy.  ;-)

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L at the Mall of America - Crafty Power Tape - Glitter Border Tutorial

Hello blogging friends!  A couple of weeks ago I was up at ScrapFest at the Mall of America.  I was working for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™ and I met so many wonderful ladies during the event! I ran into some local friends who were at the event and also some friends from FB--love being able to see everyone.  ;-)  If you haven't ever been to ScrapFest it is a fantastic time, the mall is filled with booths from all of your favorite companies and they are all doing make-n-takes, classes are also offered by most of the companies and from Archiver's. I have a couple of pictures to share but it was so busy I really didn't have time to take many picture.  We did around 575 make-n-takes a day (give or take a few). 

The lines.  ;-) 

Lots of ladies in line for make-n-takes.

LOVE Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L!!

These are some of the cards we did for make-n-takes during the event.

This is a card I had at ScrapFest for a sample.  Scrapbook Adhesives is known for Wear your Adhesive on the Outside and showing different ways to use adhesive.  For this card I used the Crafty Power Tape to make the beautiful and sparkling glitter border along the side of the card and I have a tutorial to share with you.  Several people at ScrapFest thought there was glitter tape on the card and they were so excited to hear it was Crafty Power Tape and glitter.  They loved the idea of being able to customize the card with whatever colors they wanted to use.  

To start I added one strip of the Crafty Power Tape to the side of the cardstock.

 Then I applied the Copper glitter to the strip of tape.  I just used my finger to rub the glitter on.  I like to use the You're So Fine Glitter from The Rubber Cafe' because it is ultra fine and works so wonderfully for this technique.  Then I used a fluffy paint brush to remove the excess glitter.  

Next I added another strip of tape and then added Limeade Green glitter.

I used Bronze Medal for the final color of glitter.  See doing the glitter borders is so easy--gotta love it!!

I used Simply Smooth Ivory, Orange Fizz papers from Discount Cardstock and die templates from Spellbinders.  These are the different die templates I used, S4-161 Labels One, S4-379 Decorative Labels One, S4-385 Little Leaf Sets, S5-120 Fall Foliage.  For the leaves I used Craft Foil from Spellbinders.  The sentiment and leaf image are from the CR-03870 Shabby Chic Autumn Leaves stamp set from JustRite Papercraft.  I also used 3D Foam Squares to add some dimension to the label and leaves.

Here is another quick card using the same technique with the Crafty Power Tape and the glitter.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have a wonderful and creative weekend!

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi

Crimped Envelope Gift Card Holder for Christmas

Hello!  I know this is just the beginning of Fall but a lot of people are already working on Christmas cards and gift ideas.  I love to give gift cards for Christmas and I am always looking for creative ways to give them.  Today, I have a project to share with you using an envelope and creating a fun crafty project to use for giving gift cards.  

Here is the project that I designed.  

Now this isn't a new technique (it's been around for several years) but I love these little envelope cards and I haven't made one in awhile. Start with a White Envelopes A2 size envelope, seal envelope and cut 1-3/4 '' off one end.   Then ink edges, stamp images and sentiment on the smaller piece.  For the sentiment and snowflakes I used CR-03800 Large Fancy Holiday Sentiments stamp set from JustRite Papercraft.

For the next step ink the edges of the larger piece from the envelope.  Then roll the envelope through a crimper.

Cut a piece of White Linen cardstock slightly smaller then the envelope.  Stamp the snowflake images and ink the edges.  Then use a piece of double stick tape to attach the gift card.  This piece will slide into the envelope and then add the topper.

Next I cut/embossed the edge of a A7 envelope flap using E8-001 Classic Scallop, E8-010 Classic Decorative Inserts Two die templates from Spellbinders. Then lightly ink the edges of the envelope.  Now I have a decorative envelope that is large enough to mail the envelope gift card.

I used S4-365 2012 Create-A-Flake 4, S5-117 2012 Snowflake Pendant, S5-121 Frosty Forms die templates to create the snowflake and then I added a Silver Snowflake Embellishment and Recollections Pearls.  For the topper I added White Mini Pom-Pom and 3/16'' Stitched Edge Reversible Blue/White Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!!

Hugs & Smiles,
Heidi

JustRite Papercraft - Amazing Paper Grace October 2012 Kit by Becca Feeken - Day 2

Hello!  Today, I have another project to share with you using the NEW Amazing Paper Grace October 2012 Kit by Becca Feeken from JustRite Papercraft.  The kit includes everything you need to recreate Becca's beautiful designs and it also includes AG-03910 Its Sew Vintage stamp set and AG-03915 Vintage Frame Label & Spool Topper die template set.  Click HERE to find out all of the details. 

Here is the card that I designed using the stamps and die templates from Becca's October 2012 Kit.  I used Sno Cone paper from  Discount Cardstock for the base of the card and all of the pattern paper is from My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing Lavender Collection.  

I used the largest label in the die set to cut/emboss this shape.  Then I stamped the flourish designs and the word LACE and inked the edges of the paper.  I added tiny metal hangers with pieces of vintage lace trims.  The hangers were originally silver and I added Ranger Snow Cap Paint Dabber, Vintage Photo and Antique Linen Distress Inks to give then a shabby chic look and then attached them with brads.

I added a little cluster of buttons to the top of the card with a little touch of shabby chic bling.  At the moment I am out of pearl swirl bling so I added paint and inks to the top of the clear rhinestone bling for a little different look.  I also used the stamps and die templates to create the little spool toppers.  Along the right side of the card I created a border using one of the stamps, seam binding and pattern paper.  To finish off the card I added an aqua seam binding bow and a memo pin with some beads added to it and one of the spool toppers.

JustRite Papercraft - Amazing Paper Grace October 2012 Kit by Becca Feeken

Hello!  Today, I have a sweet little vintage inspired project to share with you using the NEW Amazing Paper Grace October 2012 Kit by Becca Feeken from JustRite Papercraft.  The kit includes everything you need to recreate Becca's beautiful designs and it also includes AG-03910 Its Sew Vintage stamp set and AG-03915 Vintage Frame Label & Spool Topper die template set.  Click HERE to find out all of the details. 

 Here is the project that I designed using the AG-03910 Its Sew Vintage stamp set and AG-03915 Vintage Frame Label & Spool Topper die template set from Becca's October 2012 Kit.  I designed a Bobbin Gift Bundle filled with some sewing goodies.

Here is a look at the inside of the bundle.  I used the largest die template in the set to create the front and back and for the bundle of goodies I used the smaller spool shaped die template and adhered the pieces to a long piece of seam binding.

Here is a picture with the little bundle opened and a couple of close up pictures.  I included vintage lace trim, trinket pins, thread and some pink seam binding.

To create the front and back I die cut Prima Tea Thyme Collection papers, stamped the flourishes and then I also die cut a piece of chipboard.  I covered both sides of the chipboard with Adhesive Sheets from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and then sandwiched all of the pieces together.

For the little spools I die cut the shapes using Kraft cardstock backed with the Adhesive Sheets, stamped the flourishes and then attached them to a piece of seam binding and attached this piece to the inside. 

On the front of the bundle I stamped the flourishes and inked the edges.  Then I stamped the sentiment on to a piece of Simply Smooth Ivory paper and used S4-116 Standard Circles Small die template to cut/emboss the circle shape.  I also used S5-119 Venetian Motifs die template with Mountain Rose Metallic paper and created a decorative die cut to layer with the circle die cut.  I used 3D Foam Squares in between the layers to add some dimension.  Then I added some vintage lace trim and buttons, pearls from my stash, trinket pins from Maya Road and White Curly Roses and Pink Mulberry Roses from  Pro 31 Designs to embellish the front.

I designed a set of jewel dungeon keys for Halloween.  I thought this key ring would make a great accent piece with other Halloween decorations and it's quick and easy to make.

Flower Mesh Necklace

Hello!  Today, I have a necklace to share with you using Positively Me - Julianna Hudgins Jewel Flowers & Flourishes Nestaboard (S5-143) from Want2Scrap and some beautiful 18 mm Silver Mesh from Artistic Wire.  This was my first time playing with the Silver Mesh and I had so much fun!  You can twist it, stretch it, fill it with beads--so many possibilities with the mesh!

Here is the necklace I designed.  I used Amber Shell Coins, Shell Beads, Champagne Pearls and 18 mm Silver Mesh.  The Shell Coins and Shell Beads have a look of pearl when the light hits them so the colors work perfectly with the Champagne Pearls and Silver Mesh.  The flower picks up both the dark tones in the Shell Coins, Shell Beads and the Pearls.

Here are a couple of close up pictures of the necklace.  To find all of the details and see more pictures please click HERE to check out my post on the Positively Me by Julianna C.

Sparkling Glitter Foxtail Card with a tutorial

Hello blogging friends!  Today and I have a card to share with you using the Scrap Happy Sheer Glue and 

You're So Fine Glitter from The Rubber Cafe' with a stamping technique.

Here is the card that I designed.  I love stamping with the Scrap Happy Sheer Glue and applying glitter to the image.  The You're So Fine Glitter is such an ultra fine glitter that when this technique is done it almost looks like embossed foil.  It has a very elegant and sparkling look.

To start I stamped the oval image from K-1161 Card Labels stamp set on to Simply Smooth Ivory cardstock using Truffle Mix'd Media ink from Donna Salazar.  Then I squeezed out a little bit of glue on to a piece of scrap paper and use a makeup sponge to apply the glue to the stamp.  You will want to have a good covering of the glue but just make sure it's not too thick or you might not get a clear image.  Then stamp the image and wash the stamp right away with soapy water.  The stamped image I used was D-451 Yellow Foxtail. 

I used Bronze Medal, Copper and Limeade Green You're So Fine Glitter on the foxtail image.

Here is a picture of the image after the excess glitter has been removed.  All of the detail is still within the image and I love the results!

I used S5-127 Labels Twenty-Eight to cut/emboss the image and then I colored in the oval border with YR14 Caramel Copic Marker.

For a finishing touch I added Root Beer Brown Jellie Dots to the corners.  I used Scrap Happy Sheer Glue to adhere the Jellie Dots and the Stick "EM" Up tool for perfect placement.

I also used S5-131 A2 Matting Basics A, S5-132 A2 Matting Basics B die templates from Spellbinders.  To create the embossed background I used Spellbinders Premium Craft Foil Precious Metals along with EG-003 Garden Lattice M-Bossabilities.  Then I lightly sanded the embossed area.  To create the tag I used S4-367 Back To Basics Tags die template with Orange Fizz cardstock and the sentiment is from J-1095 Fabulous Phrases stamp set.  The card base is Orange Fizz and then I layered it with Posh Milk Chocolate cardstock.  I added Green Glitz Ribbon and Brown Crochet Lace Trim from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope that you will give the stamping with glue and glitter technique a try.

I hope you have a wonderful and creative day!
