Since there are clouds on the wall, I decided to liven it up with a pop of color, and what better than a rainbow?? I didn't want to go buy or order anything, so I used what I had. I haven't been crafty in a while!<br /><br /><a href="https://app.photobucket.com/u/ssshasta/a/45bc1aaa-a1f9-4e2f-9821-8e39652e56a1/p/124e015f-ec21-484c-b225-6a8e3792cece" target="_blank"><img alt="(edited)_116435070_348005312868851_7053473115506698912_n" border="0" height="640" src="https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/v53/ssshasta/(edited)_116435070_348005312868851_7053473115506698912_n.jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds" width="524" /></a><div><br /></div><div>I started by making a ton of paper flowers with all kinds of scraps. The pieces were square or slightly rectangle shape for each flower, and in varying sizes. Some were about 2" and some were as big as 8" or so. I cut some into circles with scissors, and some I tore with my hands, and then each was cut or torn into a spiral. Some were a circle spiral, and a few I did in a square spiral. Some wide rings, some skinny ones, wavy ones, straight ones.. It was fun experimenting! The size of the finished flower was determined by a couple of things: the size of the beginning piece of paper, how wide each ring of the spiral when cut or torn, and how tight or loose they were when glued down. I used a quilling tool and started on the outside tail of the spiral, and wound my way to the middle, which was then glued down. For a more detailed description of how to make these, please go <a href="https://byshasta.blogspot.com/2012/04/hand-rolled-cardstock-flower-tutorial.html">here</a>. I also used a few pieces of long and skinny scraps to make the frilly flowers, which the fringe was cut with Martha Stewart scissors made for fringe. These were just rolled up lengthwise, and then glued and fluffed out. <br /><br /><a href="https://app.photobucket.com/u/ssshasta/a/45bc1aaa-a1f9-4e2f-9821-8e39652e56a1/p/98332db7-9d0f-4ff4-85ed-a51719d4fdaa" target="_blank"><img alt="116151468_3248945551858191_8374167509596821149_n" border="0" height="359" src="https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/v53/ssshasta/116151468_3248945551858191_8374167509596821149_n.jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds" width="640" /></a> <div> </div><div><div>I started out by making this bunch, and thought I would have plenty.. Not! I ended up making another batch, and then another batch, and then even more. After I started gluing them down and was almost done, I needed a few more of certain colors to fill out around the edges. All said and done, I think I ended up with about 275 or so flowers!</div><div><br /></div><div>The monogram was cut out from a cardboard box in our recycling bin. I would guess that it is about 28" or so. I used a craft knife to cut it out, after measuring and marking it with a pencil. I cut strips of the cardboard and taped them together to make a long strip for the sides, and put everything together with hot glue. I also added a few scraps inside the hollow space to reinforce it. I knew I would be handling it a lot and pushing on it when putting on the flowers, and didn't want the hollow spaces to collapse. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://app.photobucket.com/u/ssshasta/a/45bc1aaa-a1f9-4e2f-9821-8e39652e56a1/p/82e2e070-0e1a-4fad-be5f-eef49e9cc778" target="_blank"><img alt="114585638_735546010589794_2644733668457891686_n" border="0" height="400" src="https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/v53/ssshasta/114585638_735546010589794_2644733668457891686_n.jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds" width="400" /></a><div><br /></div><div>My daughter's favorite color is blue, so I made more of that color than all of the rest.

I am so very proud of it, and I have made a lot of stuff over the years.<br />
<br />
This little cabin in the woods sits right next to my dad's house, about 100 feet away. He built it when I was a very small child, to live in while he built the "big house." Until I was in 6th grade I lived with my mother full time, so I only spent the summers here with my dad. He lived in this tiny space for a long time. The main space with the orange door is only about 10 feet by 12 feet, and the attached building on the left was the kitchen. It is open on one side to the elements, so not livable space. To the left of the turtle and down the hill was the outhouse! To the right of the far right tree is a large fire pit where most of the cooking was done. The main space was one room with a potbellied wood stove, a telephone and electricity. My dad slept in a loft style bed and I had my bed underneath, with a couple of shelves and 2 dressers. That was it. It wasn't until I was 10 years old or so that the had the big house finished enough so that he could move in. Even then it was a tub with visqueen clamped around it for showers, raw lumber for counters and shelves in the kitchen, and flooring that moved under your feet because it wasn't secured down yet.<br />
<br />
Even though I lived with my mom, I consider this my childhood home. She moved around a lot with me in tow, but I always returned here. It was consistent and always there. Just like my dad. I wanted to make something that would show him how much I appreciated that.<br />
<br />
I had this idea brewing in my head for years. He sent me a picture of my daughter in front of this cabin. Both of my kids were at his house for the weekend, and she had a giant leaf-blower backpack on. She was always small so it was kind of comical, and she was probably around 6. She is now 13, so I have been thinking about this for AGES. I saw this picture and immediately thought that I needed to 'build' it. Every Christmas I thought about it. I procrastinated, and then I and would run out of time. I knew that this was going to be a an intense, time consuming project and I couldn't rush. I had to take my time and be meticulous. I finally decided that this year I would do it, and began in late October. In all, I would guess that it took me about 6 weeks. I finished with a couple of weeks to spare before the holidays. I tried to take pictures of everything along the way, but now that I am putting it together here I realized a few things were left out. I guess I must have gotten so into the process, and that's not a bad thing! I made absolutely everything by hand, with the exception of 2 miniatures that I purchased at Michael's, and 2 others I ordered online. The tiny turtle and gnome came from Michael's, the light bulb and Buddha came from the world wide web. I know Buddha isn't the right word, but I don't know the actual name for the statue.<br />
<br />
So here it is. This has been known my whole life as simply "The Cabin." It was a guesthouse for a while, and my dad's friends would stay in it when they visited. In high school I decided I wanted to live in it for 2 years, because it was like a place all of my own. It was cool, however this property is almost 30 miles outside of town, and the house is up and old logging road. There was literally nowhere for me to go. By the time I could drive, I had to walk from the cabin around to the front of the big house to where the cars were parked. There was no sneaking out of this place easliy! I also stayed in here the night before my wedding with 3 great friends, since I got married on the property the next day. I was 21 years old and we giggled like little girls.<br />

<br />
It has acquired some decorations over the years. However, the light bulb, the memo pad and the thermometer have been there forever. The notepad was how people that stopped by let us know that we missed them, if we weren't home. It is gone now, but there used to be a carpenter's pencil hanging next to it. You know those wide, flat ones that were always carved to a point by a knife? I snuck over and peeked at it last summer, to get a close up of the small details. The paper is worn and crumbly, but I lifted up a few sheets gently and there is a note from a childhood friend of mine dated sometime in 1986. I would have been about 10 or 11 years old. I don't recall when the door was painted orange, but I do remember that it used to be white. The blue/green fabric inside the windows is an old bed sheet from the 70's. There was no light switch, just the pull chain on the outside.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/37424671094/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171030_103749"><img alt="20171030_103749" height="640" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4521/37424671094_63752e1cee_z.jpg" width="480" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
I changed directions a few times, and didn't quite know where to start. I began by cutting a piece of foam board to 16" x 20". I chose that size because I wanted a standard sized shadow box frame to put this in, and that seemed not to big and not too small. I looked at mounted canvas first, but decided it was going to be too bulky to not be protected by glass. I didn't want any of the 3-D pieces to get broken off by someone trying to clean or dust it if it was left uncovered. I didn't really measure anything, I just sketched out in pencil about how big I wanted to actual house to be, and painted around it. I used plain acrylic craft paints for everything in this project. I first thought only the cabin was going to be 3-D, so this was my first background.<br />
<br />
<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/37424474024/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171023_180543"><img alt="20171023_180543" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4553/37424474024_416618263a_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
<br />
I cut the basic shapes of the trees out of chipboard.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/38133921701/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171102_154538"><img alt="20171102_154538" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4570/38133921701_ee0b71eba2_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
Then I used Mod Podge to adhere crumpled up paper lunch bags and wrapped the edges around the back.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/38133717251/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171023_211023"><img alt="20171023_211023" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4552/38133717251_e282902455_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
<br />
These I also changed directions on a few times. I started by painting them all brown, and then dabbed lighter and darker brown on them. When they were dry, I used a dry bristle brush and went over them heavily with white paint. After that was dry, I sprayed them with some Ranger color washes.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/26357464959/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171025_081305"><img alt="20171025_081305" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4458/26357464959_37858cea82_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
I set those aside and started on the shingles for the cabin. This is what I had built this whole idea around. My first thought was to make them out of paper and it went from there. I started with some sheets of kraft cardstock and ran them through a few different embossing folders for the texture. Then I got out my <a href="https://rangerink.com/?product=tim-holtz-distress-oxide-ink-pads">Tim Holtz Oxide Inks</a>. I hadn't played with them yet and thought this would be the perfect first project. The shingles were old and worn, and the oxidized look would be perfect. I put down a few different colors of brown, green, and gray on my craft sheet, and spritzed them with water. I dragged the paper across the pools of ink and water, and dried them with a heat tool. I did this a few times with each sheet until it got the look I desired.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/37424582634/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171026_215719"><img alt="20171026_215719" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4456/37424582634_3a7bf70eb4_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
<br />
I cut them into strips and then into individual pieces. I inked the edges with more color to darken them a bit.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/38102265082/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171027_094314"><img alt="20171027_094314" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4563/38102265082_3cd536dae1_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
I cut two pieces of black cardstock to act as the base for the cabin, the main space with the orange door and the attached kitchen. Then started layering the 'shingles' on.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/26357526139/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171027_095223"><img alt="20171027_095223" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4520/26357526139_cc9d2cf0f2_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
I also needed to make some foliage. I wanted to make ferns for the ground and branches for the overhead trees. I started with more kraft paper, and this time used a whole mess of green and brown inks.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/38393188052/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171112_112643"><img alt="20171112_112643" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4579/38393188052_b740e398a7_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
I also needed leaves for the whole foreground. I used 6 card sized sheets of kraft cardstock, with fall colors. I used the same technique as the green, by splotching colors on to the craft sheet with water and drying it between layers of color. I used the <a href="https://www.marthastewart.com/1074888/craft-tool-must-haves-fringe-scissors">Martha Stewart fringe scissors</a> to cut everything up into tiny pieces.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/38393186652/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171111_200730"><img alt="20171111_200730" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4582/38393186652_f72dd6c8d1_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
<br />
Originally I was going to have the ground be flat and only the cabin dimensional, but I changed my mind. I used more paper lunch bags to create the ground, and stuffed it with cotton balls. Mod Podge over it was to help stiffen it up. After that was dry, I sponge painted it with acrylic paint in fall colors, orange, red, yellow, green, and brown. I knew it was going to be covered up with the leaf confetti, but just to ensure no brown paper showed through.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/26496228529/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171108_105817"><img alt="20171108_105817" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4516/26496228529_06e7317052_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
I also changed my mind for the upper background. Since the bottom was so dimensional, I decided the rest needed to be as well. I used a leafy stencil and embossing paste to cover where the cabin wouldn't be, and then went over it again with more greens and browns. I added a few splotches of black and turquoise in there too, as well as some white near the top. I was much happier with this textured background!<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/26648249999/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171111_185008"><img alt="20171111_185008" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4573/26648249999_2ae9d8fc24_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
I used Mod Podge to stick all of the leaf confetti on, and when it was dry I went over the top with another coat. Some came off with the sponge brush, but most of it stayed on.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/26648244189/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171111_185023"><img alt="20171111_185023" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4561/26648244189_f99fba5358_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
So here is a close up of all the decorations on the front of the cabin. I went to my dad's house for Thanksgiving and snuck out to take this! He asked me what I was doing and I told him to mind his own business, ha!<br />

I began with the little fun pieces. Most people were like omg I couldn't do that, but it was fun! I really enjoyed the detail work. Everything was a piece of chipboard I cut out with a craft knife or scissors and painted with acrylic paint. Some of the details were so small that I just replicated them the best I knew how. I made this little moon mirror by adhering a piece of aluminum foil on the back and covering the paint with Glossy Accents.<br />

<br />
The little bird house is chipboard pieces glued together and painted white, with clear crackle paint on top. The log is a piece of chipboard I rolled into a tube, and then covered with lunch bag paper. The end it twisted up, and then I covered it in Mod Podge and then clear crackle paint. The sun and the thermometer are circles of chipboard and painted the same way, paint, then crackle glaze. I made two versions of the thermometer because I wasn't happy with the first one. I used an extra fine point black pen on the second for the lines and numbers, which turned out much better. The little brown bird's nest is a twist of lunch bag paper, and the face was a single layer of chipboard with another layer for the brows and facial features sealed with Mod Podge. I then put a layer of lunch bag paper over the whole thing and more Mod Podge, and then painted it.<br />

This layout was just trying all of the pieces together once they were done, to see how they were fitting together. The door was my favorite piece to make, besides the shingles. It is a piece of chipboard, and I used a pencil and ruler to measure out all of the windows to cut out with a craft knife. It has two layers of orange paint to make it super bright, and 2 layers of crackle to make it extra textured. The piece of paper behind it is a couple of colors of Tim Holtz inks because I couldn't find the right color of blue paint, and a piece of acetate to make the 'glass'. The door knob is an oblong piece of chipboard and a large brad. I painted them brown and then used a bronze colored <a href="http://www.mytatteredangels.com/paint/glimmer-mist/nggallery/page/1">Glimmer Mist</a> to make it look rusty. The key lock is also chipboard painted gold. This also has the first thermometer, which I discarded. The memo pad isn't quite finished here either, I added a few tiny pieces of paper that were curled up at the edges. The little yellow pencil is there, but later I added a piece of white thread to have it dangling down. This is also my first version of the face, but ended up redoing that as well. Here you can also see a little oops.. I forgot to cover that little section of black cardstock smack in the middle between the trees. I fixed it later, but didn't even notice at the time. <br />
<br />

Here is the finished notepad and the second thermometer and face.<br />
<br />

<br />
I also ended up going over the shingles with Mod Podge to make them more durable, and to darken them a bit. I also dry brushed the bottoms with white paint to distress and weather them more.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/24553584318/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171111_194901"><img alt="20171111_194901" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4518/24553584318_b479a2d619_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
This is when I started putting it all together permanently . I cut pieces of chipboard for the branches, the roof line, added the log for the front step, and the ferns. The leaves I added individually, and then painted tiny veins on them afterwards because they needed something more. The trees are mounted with foam tape to look more dimensional, and to fit the cabin pieces behind them.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/38393183552/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171111_215516"><img alt="20171111_215516" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4573/38393183552_46242c1a05_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
The lighting was hard to capture. I added the gnome, plant hanger on the right, and the Buddha in the middle. Plus a bit of grass in front of the steps and by the tree to the left. This is also where I finally noticed I made a mistake. This picture has an additional second roof line in between the trees, the one above doesn't. I needed to add this little tiny piece to keep the perspective right.<br />
<br />

The last thing I needed was the porch light. At first, I couldn't decide what to do. I didn't want to make one, because nothing I could make by hand would look like an actual bulb, and I had a hard time finding one the right size and shape. I finally stumbled upon model train and doll house accessories, and found an actual working one! It was the perfect size, and had 2 wires to connect to a 9 volt battery. My husband and I talked about it, and we decided to have him wire a small switch to the side of the frame so it could be turned on and off easily. I also made a small pocket on the backside to slip a battery in and out, to make it easy to replace when it died.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/26343430518/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171125_202815 (1)"><img alt="20171125_202815 (1)" height="640" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4768/26343430518_8c4b7aeca9_z.jpg" width="480" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
Here's a little peek of the light, seriously cool!<br />
<br />
<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0ET2_a-8y_o" width="854"></iframe>
<br />
Moving on to the frame.. I purchased a shadow box frame at Michael's, but it ended up not being deep enough. With the addition of the 'ground' in the front, it wouldn't fit. I searched online and found lots of deeper options, but they were more than I wanted to spend. I kept the glass and the backing, and asked my husband to make me one. It was perfect, and sturdier than the one from the craft store. I wanted it to be textured and match the rest of this project, so I painted it. I started out with a brown base coat. I did it kind of haphazardly, letting a little bit of the wood show through.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/25345017767/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171124_161334 (1)"><img alt="20171124_161334 (1)" height="640" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4699/25345017767_9239485153_z.jpg" width="480" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
Then I roughly sponge brushed a bunch of different colors over the top of that. Various shades of green, brown and black. Over that, I dry brushed some white paint to weather it a bit. I left the inside of the frame dark, to match the background of the 'woods'.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/40183346882/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171124_164242 (1)"><img alt="20171124_164242 (1)" height="640" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4616/40183346882_3d0b5ba255_z.jpg" width="480" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
<br />
I went over it with 2 coats of clear crackle glaze.<br />

<br />
This little piece was an added bonus. The light bulb came with this little tiny nail that I didn't end up using. I found the perfect home for it, as the perch on this itty bitty bird house.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/39504674214/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171116_214822"><img alt="20171116_214822" height="640" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4621/39504674214_3985f2a426_z.jpg" width="480" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I couldn't find a turtle the right scale as the one in the photo, so I used this little tiny one. I also added the rope swing on the far left.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is the back of it. I took it back to Micheal's and had them put the hanging wire and hardware on the frame for me, it only cost me $5. I wanted to write something on the back, and also showcase the photo that inspired this whole project. I stewed over it for a few days and finally came up with something short that conveyed my thoughts.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/28436642739/in/album-72157666666466419/" title="20171224_220138"><img alt="20171224_220138" height="360" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4761/28436642739_43cfb3968d_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
So here is the finished project in it's entirety. It was truly a labor of love, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It turned out better than the image that was in my head, and I am so proud of it. <br />

I got to spend 4 days and 3 nights with a fun group of ladies and getting creative, and messy.. Most of these cards were made with water color papers and Tim Holtz Distress Inks, and one set with the Distress Oxide Inks.<br />
<br />
This set is Distress Inks (with an ink blending tool) on watercolor paper, then I used a background stamp sprayed with water. The tress and black ink are from Stampin Up!<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/36637320724/in/album-72157689012576356/" title="20170923_160620"><img alt="20170923_160620" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4486/36637320724_0f6a521db8_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
This set is also from watercolor paper, and the butterfly is the Swallowtail from SU, the bottom was the first generation water stamping, and the top one is second generation without re-wetting the stamp.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/37090208570/in/album-72157689012576356/" title="20170923_160604"><img alt="20170923_160604" height="640" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4347/37090208570_a801301680_z.jpg" width="480" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
These are all the same technique, and all SU stamps for the trees and black ink.<br />
<br />

<br />
I took a break from watercoloring and used some plain white cardstock and Papertey Ink stamps fro the argyle.<br />
<br />
<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149661554@N07/36676808993/in/album-72157689012576356/" title="20170923_153947"><img alt="20170923_153947" height="640" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4452/36676808993_3d498368f0_z.jpg" width="480" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
Back to watercolor.. This next set is watercolor paper with Distress Inks, and then dry embossed. The black cardstock was cut with my Cricut.<br />
<br />

I created this 4x4 mini album at a weekend retreat a few months ago, and love how it turned out! I used the <a href="https://www.simplestories.com/products/carpe-diem-scrapbooking">Simple Stories Carpe Diem</a> 12x12 papers and cut apart pieces as well as 80 lb black cardstock and chipboard. I used the same style as the directions <a href="http://byshasta.blogspot.com/2017/02/my-first-digital-download-for-sale.html">here</a>, just scaled down to 4x4. Easy peasy!<br />

There are 3 4x6 size and 17 3x4 size cards, and are all double sided. I used mainly a combination of Simple Stories Say Cheese <a href="https://www.simplestories.com/products/say-cheese">1</a> & <a href="https://www.simplestories.com/products/say-cheese-ii">2 </a>and <a href="http://www.echoparkpaper.com/collections/magical-adventure/">Echo Park Magical</a> papers (plus stickers and embellishments from both lines), and a few other coordinating scraps and embellishments from my stash. The base cardstock is 4 different colors, black, white, kraft and red. These are not totally flat, as there are chipboard frames, jewels and other embellishments that are popped up on dimensionals to stand out a little bit, but they are not overly bulky. All of the frames are glued down with the tops left open so as to enable you to add a tag or photo inside. Some of them already have a tag inside, but not all.<br />
<br />
This first set of 3 is the 3 4x6 sized ones.<br />

<center style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
This album is for sale in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/byShasta?ref=hdr">Etsy Shop!</a> This post is a bit pic heavy, butt here is so much inside that it can't be shown to the full extent without them!</center>
<center style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">

<center style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
The cover measures 9 1/2" x 7 1/4" with a 4" spine. The pages are 8 1/2" tall and 6 1/4" wide, so that I could cut in half a 12 x 12 piece for matting and only trim one side of the 8 1/2" x 11" base paper. I came up with the dimensions to both minimize the trimming of 8 1/2" x 11" paper and the 12 x 2 card stock. Most of the flaps, tabs, and interior layering pages, etc, are made of the scraps of trimming the pages as well. I assembled the pages with <a href="http://scor-pal.com/scor-tape">Scor Tape</a> and<a href="http://www.scotchbrand.com/3M/en_US/scotch-brand/products/catalog/~/Scotch-Quick-Dry-Adhesive?N=4335+3294529207+3294603414&rt=rud"> Scotch's quick drying liquid adhesive</a> to make sure they are extra strong and durable. The base black cardstock is a heavy 80 lb weight for added strength. The cover edges that bend have been reinforced with black ribbon to prevent cracking when the album is opened and closed. My next one I will be experimenting with fabric to see how that works as a cover.</center>
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I used primarily the <a href="https://www.simplestories.com/products/say-cheese">Say Cheese I and II collections from Simple Stories</a>, with a few other miscellaneous complimentary papers as well. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
The finished product is pretty bulky, and will no doubt be bulkier still when filled with photos, but I love how it turned out.</center>

I have been on a watercolor kick lately and made a bunch of beautiful cards, plus a few more with some new Stampin Up! products that I bought. I used a variety of embossing folders on watercolor paper, and a mixture of Tim Holtz Distress Inks, water, Perfect Pearls powder and good, old fashioned Crayola water color paints. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I didn't take close ups of all of the watercolor ones, but they were all basically done the same way. I roughly painted them first, then sprayed the whole thing with the pearlized water, and then used my heat tool to speed up the drying process.</center>

This one was my first attempt at the Galaxy style background. I stamped the foliage first, then I painted the colors the same way. I spritzed with clear water, no pearl powder this time, and used the heat tool to dry. After it was dry, I splattered some of the pearlized water on for some stars. The stamping was done first, and I didn't think it stood out enough, so I went back over it with clear embossing powder, and blended the edges with Dusty Concord and Black Soot.</center>

These ones were made with the new SU <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=142323">Flourishing Phrases set.</a> I used the Distress inks directly on the base paper with the blending tool, and then used the large flourish stamp with plain water to get the watermark effect.</center>

This last set, I inked the large flourish stamp with many colors of Distress Ink and sprayed it with water before stamping. The lacy strip across the card was also colored with coordinating Distress Ink.</center>

I love this clean and simple design. I like things chock full of ink, lace, trims and buttons, but this was refreshing and super easy to do, not cluttered with a bunch of stuff. Plus the papers are super busy, so I thought that they needed to take center stage.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
This album is for sale in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/400497973/disney-album-5x75?ref=shop_home_active_1">Etsy Shop</a>!</center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
I used papers by Queen & Company, the Magic line, as well as yellow, red white and black card stock. There are only a few embellishments, since I wanted the papers to be the focus. The black base pages are 6 1/4" x 4 1/4" (there are 6) and all the layers are 4" x 6". Each page has a side pocket with an insert. I created this album in mind for smaller sized photos, like wallet, 3x4, 3x4, ect. You can most certainly use 4x6 photos, though most of the pretty papers will be completely covered up.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I tried something new and used Tyvek for the cover. It is a sturdy cloth that can't be easily torn and is very thin and flexible. The USPS makes mailers out of them, and it is also a construction material for buildings. It was white to begin with, but I used my black Staz-On ink to color it. It is slightly on the grey side and bot completely black, however it completes this project nicely.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
The cover has a shaker embellishment from EK Success, a Spellbinders Die and some of the papers from the collection. The little date ticket is from the papers as well. There are a few of them scattered throughout. I left the spine and back cover free of decorations.</center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
The first page is a simple pocket, with two inserts. For a lot of the inserts I used a ledger stamp for journaling. They can of course be used for photos as well.</center>

The last page has a double pocket. There are two tags in each pocket. I may just make it one of each because they fit pretty tightly and would be even tighter with photos.</center>

This album was so fun to make! This one is inspired by <a href="http://superhappyscrapper.blogspot.com/">SuperHappyScrapper</a> and all of her videos on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSiJb4s7l1sYKkJGsmxzpoQ">YouTube </a>are awesome. I think her techniques are super easy and the tutorials are a cinch to follow.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
This album is for sale in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/386999338/romantic-vintage-style-album?ref=shop_home_active_2">Etsy Shop!</a></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I came up with the dimensions on my own to both minimize the trimming of 8 1/2" x 11" paper and the 12 x 2 card stock. The cover measures 9 1/2" x 7 1/4" with a 3 1/2" spine. The pages are 8 1/2" tall and 6 1/4" wide, so that I could cut in half a 12 x 12 piece for matting and only trim one side of the 8 1/2" x 11" base paper.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Most of the flaps, tabs, and interior layering pages, etc, are made of the scraps of trimming the pages as well. I assembled the pages with Score Tape to make sure they are extra strong and durable, and the trims, flowers and metal corners are held down with Glossy Accents to help them stay put. There are 6 base pages with lots of pockets, tags, and flaps for tons of room. I usually don't do vintage style things, but this paper just begged for inked edges and that type of vibe. I made <a href="http://byshasta.blogspot.com/2015/02/love-themed-paperbag-album.html">this </a>album a while ago, and already had mach of the papers left over to use for this.</center>

It is called Hello Darlin' and is super sweet. I made a larger one, and this one is actually the second one I made with this stack with the leftovers. I made this one with 6x6 pages and I decided last weekend to get started on one for a friend. I have an adorable coworker with an adorable family, so I creeped on her Facebook account for the pictures! I gave it to her yesterday and she was thrilled. She is not patient when it comes to crafty things, so could appreciate the time and effort that went into this book. I am super pleased with how it turned out as well.<br />
<br />
I didn't measure it carefully before I gave it to her, but the pages are 6x6 inches with a 3.5" spine. I also added orange accents even though there is no orange in the papers, because it is her favorite color. After seeing a video on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxCjTx2kE1E">YouTube</a>, I decided to make my own embellishments out of the scraps that were left over, and they turned out awesome. I have watched a ton of her videos and love her style!<br />
<br />
This picture was perfect for the cover and the wording was already on it, win! <br />

So I enjoyed making the embellishments so much I decided to make more. I didn't make any for the first album I made with this stack, and it was just crying out for some. I haven't finished it completely yet, but will be sharing the other one soon. I turned all of this scrappy mess into some serious cuteness!<br />

I knew we would go one day and wanted to be prepared! After I finished my own personal album I realized I had a serious stash left over, so I decided to create a few albums with the leftovers. I designed it with an assortment of photo sizes in mind. There is plenty of space for 4x6 or 4x5.3 (standard digital size) photos as well as other fun sizes. Such as 4x4, 4x3, 2x3 ans 2x2, but you are of course not limited to these sizes. There are full sized pages with room for 5x7 photos as well.<br />
<br />
I absolutely LOVE the Simple Stories Say Cheese collections, they are so cute and fun! They were so popular that they have the <a href="https://www.simplestories.com/products/say-cheese">original Say Cheese</a> and the <a href="https://www.simplestories.com/products/say-cheese-ii">Say Cheese II</a>.<br />
<br />
My other latest fun thing is magnets. I have been using the <a href="http://www.basicgrey.com/scrapbook/shop/product/met-359">Basic Grey adhesive ones</a>, and they work wonderfully. However, they are kind of pricey to buy in any quantity so I did some research on the internet and came across K&J Magnetics and ordered <a href="http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=D701">these</a>. They haven't arrived in the mail so I haven't got to try them out yet. I have to wait and see for those!<br />
<br />
These albums were inspired by this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/SuperHappyscrapper">woman's </a>YouTube Channel, and I love her style. After watching a few (several!) of her videos, I had to give it a try. I love all the flaps, pockets and extra doodads. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oA7xnnBAFk">Here </a>is a link to the video I made of this album. It isn't fancy, but it shows how everything opens! <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right; width: 480px;">

This album is for sale in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/266148681/large-custom-disney-album-using-simple?ref=shop_home_active_4">Etsy Shop!</a></div>

So the front cover is decorated with Mickey of course, which I cut out with my Cricut machine and matted.<br />

<br />
This page has a couple of flaps. The first one opens to the left.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ssshasta/media/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112220_zpsqq17aggk.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 20160129_112220_zpsqq17aggk.jpg" border="0" src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112220_zpsqq17aggk.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ssshasta/media/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112228_zpsqputnfo4.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 20160129_112228_zpsqputnfo4.jpg" border="0" src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112228_zpsqputnfo4.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Then the entire thing opens to the right, and is held closed with a magnet.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ssshasta/media/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112249_zps2egptivr.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 20160129_112249_zps2egptivr.jpg" border="0" src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112249_zps2egptivr.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Also, each page has a pocket on the edge that holds a full sized tag.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ssshasta/media/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112300_zpstmlzhhwz.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 20160129_112300_zpstmlzhhwz.jpg" border="0" src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112300_zpstmlzhhwz.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Thi page is made of two flaps as well, the small blue one that opens to the right and the large red one that opens to the top. Again I used a magnet closure.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ssshasta/media/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112320_zpsb1n4d9ix.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 20160129_112320_zpsb1n4d9ix.jpg" border="0" src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112320_zpsb1n4d9ix.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ssshasta/media/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112411_zps4yau1qro.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 20160129_112411_zps4yau1qro.jpg" border="0" src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112411_zps4yau1qro.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
This page has a pocket that is on a flap. The pocket has two tags inside.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ssshasta/media/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112433_zpslcq7ulxh.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 20160129_112433_zpslcq7ulxh.jpg" border="0" src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112433_zpslcq7ulxh.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ssshasta/media/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112449_zpsgurpqrg1.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 20160129_112449_zpsgurpqrg1.jpg" border="0" src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112449_zpsgurpqrg1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Then the pocket flap opens to the left.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ssshasta/media/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112500_zpszoa9ceem.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 20160129_112500_zpszoa9ceem.jpg" border="0" src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112500_zpszoa9ceem.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
This page has a pocket as well, with two full sized tags.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ssshasta/media/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112508_zpssiyexyqd.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 20160129_112508_zpssiyexyqd.jpg" border="0" src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112508_zpssiyexyqd.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
And a small flap<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ssshasta/media/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112514_zpsueacmaq9.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 20160129_112514_zpsueacmaq9.jpg" border="0" src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112514_zpsueacmaq9.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />

<br />
The page on the left with the heart is a tri-flap page. The two top and bottom flaps..<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ssshasta/media/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112558_zpsfk7xix1c.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 20160129_112558_zpsfk7xix1c.jpg" border="0" src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112558_zpsfk7xix1c.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
And one that goes to the left.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ssshasta/media/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112610_zpsuaumn96k.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 20160129_112610_zpsuaumn96k.jpg" border="0" src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112610_zpsuaumn96k.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
This page has a 3 sided flap..<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ssshasta/media/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112628_zpsywhso7tj.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 20160129_112628_zpsywhso7tj.jpg" border="0" src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112628_zpsywhso7tj.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />

<br />
And inside the flap is hiding a pocket with two tags.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ssshasta/media/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112646_zpstucx6wqx.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 20160129_112646_zpstucx6wqx.jpg" border="0" src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/albums/Custom%20Large%20Disney/20160129_112646_zpstucx6wqx.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
The page on the left is a large memorabilia pocket, for ticket stubs and other ephemera.<br />
<br />

<br />
The right page has two flaps, and again a magnetic closure.<br />
<br />

</div>
So I had to make another one of these, my second of three I have completed actually! I may have enough supplies to make a third one, though smaller. I think this one has the most 'stuff' in it, a lot of tags and pockets and flaps. Flaps upon flaps! I used mainly the Simple Stories Say Cheese collection of papers and accessories, with a few other random papers to supplement.<br />
I also made a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN_Swm49a8o">YouTube video</a>. It isn't at all fancy and made with my phone, but shows what is hard to explain in pictures!<br />
<br />
This is also listed in my<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/266295164/custom-disney-scrapbook-mini-album?ref=shop_home_active_3"> Etsy Shop.</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The front cover has a flap that is held closed by a magnet, with room for photos or journaling underneath. The chipboard pieces are from the collection, however the banner piece is from Spare Parts I found at Hobby Lobby.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
This album is pretty chunky, with a spine measuring 4 inches wide. The cover is 8 1/2 inches tall and 9 3/4 inches wide. There are 7 pages inside, measuring 8 inches tall by 8 1/2 inches wide. I designed it with an assortment of photo sizes in mind. There is plenty of space for 4x6 or 4x5.3 (standard digital size) photos as well as other fun sizes. Such as 4x4, 4x3, 2x3 ans 2x2, but you are of course not limited to these sizes. There are full sized pages with room for 5x7 photos as well. <br />
<br />
I just realized that I put all the photos in reverse order, oops! But you get the idea!<br />

</div>
My family and I went to Disneyland last year, and I have been collecting supplies for quite some time, probably close to 10 years or more. I knew we would go one day and wanted to be prepared! After I finished my own personal album I realized I had a serious stash left over, so I decided to create a few albums with the leftovers. <br />
<br />
I absolutely LOVE the Simple Stories Say Cheese collections, they are so cute and fun! They were so popular that they have the <a href="https://www.simplestories.com/products/say-cheese">original Say Cheese</a> and the <a href="https://www.simplestories.com/products/say-cheese-ii">Say Cheese II</a>. <br />
<br />
My other latest fun thing is magnets. I have been using the <a href="http://www.basicgrey.com/scrapbook/shop/product/met-359">Basic Grey adhesive ones</a>, and they work wonderfully. However, they are kind of pricey to buy in any quantity so I did some research on the internet and came across K&J Magnetics and ordered <a href="http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=D701">these</a>. They haven't arrived in the mail so I haven't got to try them out yet. I have to wait and see for those!<br />
<br />
These albums were inspired by this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/SuperHappyscrapper">woman's </a>YouTube Channel, and I love her style. After watching a few (several!) of her videos, I had to give it a try. I love all the flaps, pockets and extra doodads. I didn't really measure for this one, I just based all of the sizes off of the 6x6 inch page. I also made a <a href="https://youtu.be/q6-K_y1UQDc">YouTube video</a> showing this album as well. Pardon my wobbliness, I don't have a fancy overhead camera and just used my phone! <br />
<br />
This album is currently in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/266158840/disney-6x6-paper-bag-album">Etsy </a>Shop.<br />

Then I happened along <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&sqi=2&ved=0CB0QtwIwAGoVChMInp6t7MupyAIVVjCICh208QBC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D5Z_6pe2ZhDI&usg=AFQjCNEpdtY1h00Inzt_pyTBlIsicWLqRg&sig2=7bWd6gSiu4Xyqss4aV4ZOA&bvm=bv.104317490,d.cGU">this tutorial</a> a few days ago! I knew I had to try it and knew exactly the papers I wanted to use. This Stack the Deck binding technique is very simple and easy, with great looking results. I grabbed a few pieces of matching cardstock to go with this <a href="http://www.basicgrey.com/scrapbook/shop/product/cap-2411">Basic Grey 6x6 pad</a> and away I went. <br />
<br />
<br />
I made the cover out of three pieces of chipboard that I cut to the size I wanted, slightly larger than the 6x6 pages. The envelopes I used are for 5x7 greeting cards, so 5.5x7.5 I think, and I just cut them to 6.25" long. I did this assembly line style, meaning I pre-cut all the layers and flaps first, and then just randomly put them down on the pages. It was pretty quick to put together once everything was assembled.<br />

The colors of their wedding are fuchsia and teal, and they're new last name begins with "Z". I am quite happy to say that I purchased nothing new for this, and used only products I had on hand. <br />
<br />
I couldn't find any papers that suited my needs, so I made my own. I grabbed miscellaneous sheets of fuchsia, teal, black, white and craft cardstock, some stamps and 3 colors of ink. I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Peacock Feather, Picked Raspberry and Tea Dye. The stamps were a hodge podge of what I have. Some are large background wooden and rubber blocks, and some are a cluster of smaller ones mounted on one clear block. I know the clocks are by Heidi Swapp, the seashells and feathers are Hero Arts, the leaves and flourishes are Papertrey Ink, the large butterfly is the Swallowtail from Stampin Up, the heart is a dollar stamp from Michael's (I think) and the birds and the film strip are by Tim Holtz. The rest, well who knows! After all the pages were complete, I adhered them to 8x8 pieces of chipboard.<br />
<br />
I lightly tacked down the 4x6 pieces of black cardstock so they can be removed easily and replaced with photos. I bound it with three locking book rings and tied coordinating ribbons on them. The heart and the "Z" on the front were cut on my Cricut, and the "Z" is topped with Glossy Accents. The pearls are a sheet of the Recollections brand from Michael's, they are awesome and I just cut them into strips. The rest of the paper was cut into blocks and strips, and I think I only used 4 punches. The large heart is Fiskars I believe, the label and border punch is EK Success, and then a miscellaneous circle one.<br />
<br />
I can't wait to give it to her!<br />

Most of these are lifts of another card, by technique or by material, that I see on Pinterest and I am not really good at keeping track...<br />
<br />
This one I stamped in <a href="http://www.tsukineko.co.jp/english/detail/mement/index.html">Memento </a>Tuxedo Black, and used <a href="http://www.timholtz.com/ink.htm">Distress Inks</a> with water to color the image. I stamped the white cardstock layer and card base at the same time, then added the black layer.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
This one I inked up the stamp with<a href="http://rangerink.com/?product=tim-holtz-distress-markers"> Distress Markers</a>, spritzed with water and then stamped.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
This is the <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCQQtwIwAg&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D_8trLJpqTUM&ei=0-CJVbauIY3foATjzJmQCA&usg=AFQjCNHbPjX1bWUgHl5ufwmY7CNgz1tAkQ&sig2=r3IGSMYna4sSfmpByQMSWQ">thumping </a>technique, which is pretty simple but has a complicated looking effect. I thought mine wouldn't turn out that well but I was pleasantly surprised! Basically you ink up your stamp and then thump 3 or 4 coordinating colored markers all over the image and then stamp. I used a light colored Memento ink and Distress Markers, going from lightest to darkest. Easy peasy!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
For this one I used clear embossing ink and powder on white cardstock first, then used Distress Inks and the <a href="http://rangerink.com/?product=inkssentials%E2%84%A2-ink-blending-tool-foam">blending tool</a> to ink over the design in varying colors, or embossed resist as it is called. I spritzed it with water at the end for the light dusting of water splotches.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
This one was kind of a fail at what I was attempting, but it turned out ok. It is a single layer card and I used the embossed resist technique as well. I wanted to color in the design with Distress Markers, which I did, and then wipe it off for a clean finish. Well, when I wiped it off the ink smeared. So I just went with it and smeared it all. Not what I intended, but...!,<br />

<br />
<br />
These ones have a lot going on. I first stamped the image using the thumping technique the same as before, then I used a mask of the same image and stamped the backgrounds over the top so the butterfly would remain clear. The brown of the background images, the music and wheat and text, was a bit harsh next to the butterfly, so I decided to do the backgrounds a little differently. I put the butterfly mask back down and inked each image with a similar color around the edges, and then softened the whole thing with a little bit of brown.<br />

<br />
This one is my favorite, and an entire creation of my own. I started out by seeing another card with the clouds and grass done with Distress Inks and a simple paper mask. I tore two ends of a piece of paper in a loosely straight line for the grass, and then cut scallops on two ends of another scrap for the clouds. I inked each end with the blending tool and Distress Inks in varying layers in blue and green for the grass and sky, and then used the wheat background stamp over the top in varying shades of brown Memento Inks. I had no idea where this card was going, and was just creating backgrounds to see how they looked. At first I had thought of putting some sort of sign or fence post to hold a greeting, because something wood grain seemed appropriate, but that would cover up too much of the pretty background. I decided to use a die cut greeting, but none of the ones I had would fit, being as they were too large. I recently Got a <a href="http://us.cricut.com/home/learn/machines/explore-family?gclid=CjwKEAjwh6SsBRCYrKHF7J3NjicSJACUxAh7TR6yotD_La6kebS9_Ak7HQQXKZGyh0W4WrApjQCFiBoCcp3w_wcB">Cricut Explore</a> machine and have used it exactly zero times, so I can't even tell you what I cut. I pushed the add text button and typed "Hi." I have no idea what font it is, and just sized it to fit 4 on a sheet with enough room to be die cut later. The brown part is the die cut, the negative of the letters. It started out as white cardstock, which I ran through my <a href="http://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=C2NG9duGJVdK6BcPB-QOFur6YB-G_7ocJ4ZHg54gBhJL15QUIABABILLFlBkoAmDJvreN9KTQGaABt8f84QPIAQGqBCJP0P30SnCLmJ8N9RroAVDiEs5XEvynb_lGxKw4O4rWOgOZgAWQToAHsbiDHogHAZAHAqgHpr4b2AcB&sig=AOD64_3Hrae_T2MZUk7cy7KyBDKQNuDhlA&clui=0&rct=j&q=&ved=0CBsQ0Qw&adurl=http://www.cricut.com/Shopping/products-Cricut-Cuttlebug-280.aspx">Cuttlebug</a>. First with a circle die and then with the wood grain embossing folder, and then heavily inked up with Distress Inks in Frayed Burlap.<br />

<br />
After all that I sprayed it with water, and then with an Adirondack color wash spray in Raisin I think. When it dried, I used the white Distress Marker on the raised areas, and then put a piece of white cardstock underneath. The little butterfly is a Stampin Up punch, and the color is Worn Lipstick Distress Ink on white cardstock. I inked the scrap of paper, sprayed it with water to make it splotchy, and punched it out after it dried. This card was by far more labor intensive than the rest, taking about 2 hours to make 4, but turned out so pretty!<br />

They're so much fun, and super easy. I started by buying a bulk selection of bags at my local restaurant supply store. I took along a 6x6 piece of paper to select the right size when these bags are folded in half. I think I spent like $30 on 500 bags. They even had white ones too! Most of the papers I used were from the <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCcQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.diecutswithaview.com%2Fproduct_view.php%3Fid%3D2174&ei=A_DcVPHeIYbloATYuIK4Dg&usg=AFQjCNHOvpi4Sf3SIDZSVlp2XmqzsXzcZQ&sig2=WJAVlqc4TsvAE1O681D2sQ&bvm=bv.85970519,d.cGU">Immortal DCWV stacks</a>, with a couple other miscellaneous ones thrown in. <br />
<br />
I picked three bags and put them together with the ends alternating directions, and then used my sewing machine to stitch them right down the middle to create the binding. All the flowers I inked using<a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CD8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Frangerink.com%2F%3Fproduct%3Dtim-holtz%25C2%25AE-distress-ink-pads&ei=PPDcVJCoNZH3oASuv4K4Ag&usg=AFQjCNELJ-qoBuF4Bx5u_nvO8xU6N9UMfQ&sig2=riuwZ-uUkGSJGhHxdRWbuA&bvm=bv.85970519,d.cGU"> Tim Holtz Distress Inks</a> and <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mytatteredangels.com%2Fglimmer-mist%2F&ei=V_DcVNfzOcW4oQSdiYKIBQ&usg=AFQjCNHmMNn7BXYeK-r2bAsIZoUs7NF8mQ&sig2=fSjx0QPW5ToTkFRb2KIfHw&bvm=bv.85970519,d.cGU">Glimmer Mist</a>, and I inked the paper edges with Distress Inks as well.<br />

It was a hard day in the Autism vs. Me world. I shared it <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ssshasta/posts/10151742174501176?notif_t=like">here</a>, and I will share it here as well. <br />
<br />
*************************<br />
<br />
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed">
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">Some days Autism really sucks. I have a love/hate relationship with it. Today, it was the latter. Today, it broke my heart and my daughter's. <br /><br /> My little girl isn't girly, and pink has been a four letter word in my house for quite a few years. Gone were the days when she wanted pink socks, a pink backpack and pink bows in her hair. Pink rain boots, pink sheets and pink notebooks. Pink tights, pin<span class="text_exposed_show">k plates, and even pink undies. These days, nothing can be pink. Absolutely nothing. <br /><br /> A few months ago my daughter asked if she could have a pink hoodie. Specifically, a pink camo hoodie. I was thrilled. I asked friends, family and even clients where I could find such a thing. I wanted to go to an actual store, to touch it and feel it. To make sure it not only fit, but that it was the right texture. That the tags wouldn't be too scratchy or the seams too tight, for the one of two sensory driven children of mine.<br /><br /> So I found a store that had this magical thing that she wanted. Wanted it so much she practically asked for one every day for months. I drove 56 miles one way to <a href="http://www.cabelas.com/">Cabela's</a>. I walked around the giant camo clothing section a multitude of times to find it. I spent close to an hour searching. The little kid ones were too small, and the adult ones were too big. It was like Goldilocks and the 3 bears. I finally found a rack on the outskirts in the sea of clothing, an oasis of pink camo fleeces. <br /><br /> Lo and behold, there was <a href="http://www.cabelas.com/product/Cabelas-Kids-Snake-River-Printed-Fleece-Jacket/1218199.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dsnake%2Briver%2B%26WTz_l%3DHeader&Ntt=snake+river+&WTz_l=Header">one</a> in her size. It was camo printed, and it was pink. Only one problem.<br /><br /> It had no hood.<br /><br /> Typically you'd think, it's not a big deal. Yeah, that's what I thought too. That was my mistake and I should know better.<br /><br /> I should know, because Autism doesn't know any better. It doesn't know that 9 out of 10 isn't good enough, or that even 99 out of 100 isn't good enough. A solid "A". It only knows that it is or it isn't. It's up or it's down, right or wrong, black or white. Period. End of story.<br /><br /> Autism doesn't know the excitement this mom knew was going to be in her daughter's eyes. It doesn't know the hour I drove each way just to get this special thing for her. It doesn't care.<br /><br /> It only knows inflexibility, rigidity and boundaries set in stone. It only knows that 9 out of 10 isn't good enough, and that expectations must be met. They must be met, or everything falls apart.<br /><br /> Do you know what happens when a pb&j is expected to be cut in squares, not triangles? Or if a piece of paper is folded that was not supposed to be? A blue marker instead of purple? When Mom and Dad have had a long day and bed time is at 8:59 pm, not 9 pm? When you run out of goldfish crackers and get pretzels in your lunch instead? <br /><br /> When you get a pink camo fleece jacket without a hood?<br /><br /> You get tears and stomping feet. You get screams and a temper tantrum. You get heartache and vicious disappointment. It doesn't matter that it's only about a hoodie and that your 9 years old. The world ends and the sky is falling. Autism doesn't care.<br /><br /> But I do.<br /><br /> I say love/hate because I cannot have one without the other. I can't have my children without Autism. I can't. It is part of who they are and how they were fashioned. How they were built and how their brains were wired. <br /><br /> I sat here tonight to type out my feelings on this subject with disappointment and sorrow weighing heavily in my heart. I had no room for anything else, and it consumed me.<br /><br /> But I am not going to let Autism win today. I am going to fight back, because I care. I too want that 10 out of 10, that 100%, an A+. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. But my sky isn't falling and my world is not ending.<br /><br /> And tomorrow I will go in search of a pink camo fleece with a hood. Next time I will cut squares in the pb&j first, or make a paper airplane out of that folded paper. I will have a blue marker in one hand and a purple one in the other. And I will buy a pallet of goldfish crackers, or maybe 2 pallets... <br /><br /> Just in case.</span></span></div>

I have had the pleasure of going there for the last 6 or 7 years with 30-40 ladies twice a year, and just love it. Usually I make pages, but decided to do these instead because my stash of cards is dangerously low! Plus I wanted to get out *all* of my inks and stamps and just play. Just about all of these are lifts from <a href="http://pinterest.com/ssshasta/cards/">Pinterest</a> or other ones I have seen on the <a href="http://heroarts.com/">Hero Arts</a> blog or<a href="http://www.jennifermcguireink.com/"> Jennifer McGuire's website</a> (love her!). She is probably single handedly responsible for my love of Distress Inks. She had an incredible<a href="http://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2010/10/week-1-part-1-distress-ink-message-board-class-part-2-distress-ink-stamping-message-board-class-part-3.html"> video tutorial collection</a> a year or two ago that has some amazing techniques on how to use them. There are 27 videos but trust me, it will not be a waste of your time!!<br />
<br />
This first set uses a <a href="http://shop.heroarts.com/p/wildflower-garden">flower</a> stamp and a<a href="http://shop.heroarts.com/products/productdetail/Friend+Definition/part_number=CG125/1571.0.1.1.62762.70022.0.0.0?pp=12&"> text background</a> stamp, both from Hero Arts. I stamped the text first after blotting the image a bit so it wasn't solid, then stamped the flower. I sprayed the stamp with water first to make it watercolor-ish, and all of the inks on these ones are from <a href="http://timholtz.com/">Tim Holtz</a>. I used my<a href="http://rangerink.com/?product=inkssentials%e2%84%a2-ink-blending-tool-foam"> ink blending tool</a> to color the card base with the same color that I stamped the flower in, and around the edges of the white cardstock, then mounted it. Add a sentiment with a punch from various stamp sets, some half pearls, and voila!<br />

These ones are super simple, a single layer, and I love how they turned out. Inspired by <a href="http://luvtostamp.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/a-simple-thank-you.html">this</a>. I stamped the flowers in various <a href="http://www.tsukineko.com/store/cart.php?m=product_list&c=70">Memento</a> colors using a <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=430&categoryId=146">Gina K set</a>, and various sentiments. Done!<br />

Here is another single layer card, easy peasy. Inspired from <a href="http://colorfulom.blogspot.com/2012/04/using-what-i-have-for-some-bright.html">here</a>. This is another <a href="http://www.heroarts.com/products/productInfo.cfm?ItemNo=F5158&subCat=B02">butterfly</a> stamp I use a lot, and Memento inks. Then I fussy cut around the open edge with scissors.<br />

<br />
This one turned out just like I wanted, and was so pleased. Inspired by <a href="http://jami.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/2012/04/26/yep-im-an-administrative-professional/">this</a>. I masked off the white cardstock with two pieces of black paper, stamped the text and rubbed 2-3 colors of <a href="http://rangerink.com/?product=tim-holtz%c2%ae-distress-ink-pads">Tim Holtz Distress Inks</a> over that with the blending tool. Once the black paper masks were removed, it left that nice crisp design down the card. I believe the leaf is a <a href="http://www.closetomyheart.com/">Close to My Heart</a> one, I borrowed it from my friend so am not positive. I used brown cardstock to mount it, and added more pearls.<br />

I kept seeing these triple stamped cards, and wanted to try it. Inspired by <a href="http://melaniemuenchinger.blogspot.com/2012/10/hello-hope-your-weekend-is-off-to.html">this</a>. You can find a tutorial <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u84fHZrh1c">here</a>. I colored the images with <a href="http://www.copicmarker.com/">Copic</a> markers and mounted it on black cardstock. Make sure you use the right ink for your images when coloring with these markers, or it will smear. <a href="http://www.tsukineko.com/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&skip=&p=4359">Memento Tuxedo Black</a> is what I used.<br />

<br />
<br />
I thought this donut stamp was just too freakin' cute. These were a combination of 3 or 4 coffee/tea stamp sets I have. I dry embossed the red background with my <a href="http://www.provocraft.com/products/index.products.php?cl=cuttlebug">Cuttlebug</a>, cut the scallop and circles with my <a href="http://www.provocraft.com/products/index.products.php?cl=cricut">Cricut</a>, and then colored and fussy-cut the images. <br />

<br />
This <a href="http://shop.heroarts.com/p/antique-engravings/clear-stamps_poly-clear-4x6?pp=12&pp=12">butterfly stamp</a> is one of my favorites, and I use it a LOT. The background was done with a swirly stamp in grey ink, then the butterfly. I inked the butterfly with the main color of Distress Ink and then just brushed the edges with another color and sprayed with water before stamping. This is on watercolor paper.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
This one is pretty simple too, and looks so nice. I punched the base with a border punch from <a href="http://www2.fiskars.com/Crafting/Products/Border-Punches/Apron-Lace-Border-Punch">Fiskars</a>, then inked with Distress Inks. Then the same color was used on the <a href="http://shop.heroarts.com/p/wildflower-garden">flower</a>, with green on the stem. I also sprayed the stamp with water first.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I purchased this large <a href="http://www.heroarts.com/products/productInfo.cfm?ItemNo=S5316&subCat=B04">background stamp</a> on the way to my retreat, and was so excited to use it. It is such a funny thing, but I see it on a lot of cards and I am more of a flower stamp girl, but really wanted this one, and after seeing it used several times I could see how versatile it was! I stamped the text first after blotting it, then the background with Distress Ink and water. I softened the edges and colored the greeting strip with the ink blending tool and more Distress Ink. The butterfly was stamped, cut, colored with Copics, then covered with Crystal Effects.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
This one turned out so puuuurty.. Inspired by <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2229961">this</a>. I punched a circle out of white cardstock, 1 3/8" I believe, and then used it as a reverse mask. I inked over it with Wild Honey, one of my favorite Distress Inks, then removed it. The dandelion is from the same Gina K set as the cards a few pictures up, and sentiments from <a href="http://www.papertreyink.com/">PTI</a>.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Ahhh, this picture just makes me happy. I remember my first time using a Tim Holtz Distress Ink pad, and I was sooooo disappointed. Now I just LOVE them. I tried to use it the traditional way, and was super unsatisfied at how the images turned out. I wanted them crisp and clean, and that is just not what these inks are about. After watching tons of videos and techniques, I use them all the time, for so many things! Inspired by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/disp6194/5793863228/in/pool-647078@N25/">this</a>.<br />

<br />
<br />
I used this large <a href="http://shop.heroarts.com/p/fabulous-flourish-1">background stamp</a> and heat embossed it with clear powder. I inked over the image with the blending tool, and then wiped it off to remove any from the embossed area. It was mounted on black cardstock, add some twine and a sentiment. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's that gorgeous butterfly stamp again! I stamped the image on a Post-It note and cut it out very carefully around the edges to create a mask. The center one was stamped first, and then I positioned the mask over the image exactly, and stamped the butterflies to each side. Once the mask is removed, the images are all nicely stamped with no overlap. Color with Copics, add the sentiment, background stamp and some <a href="http://rangerink.com/?product=distress-stickles-glitter-glue-clear-rock-candy-1-1-fl-oz">Rock Candy Stickles</a>, done!<br />

<br />
<br />
I get so much mileage out of this stamp! I stamped, colored and cut them all out to use on these next few cards. The background papers are from a 6x6 pad, but I dont remember what one, I think it was <a href="http://www.basicgrey.com/scrapbook/shop/category/6x6-pads">Basic Grey</a>. The white background is cut with a Nestabilities <a href="http://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/products/p-147-labels-eight.aspx">die</a> in the Cuttlebug and stamped with a <a href="http://shop.heroarts.com/p/ledger">ledger stamp</a> and the edges inked. <br />

Thanks for taking the time to look! <br />

Stay calm and craft on...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302821315386583682.post-53425398925705181642012-04-19T15:32:00.000-07:002012-11-17T13:59:01.039-08:00Hand rolled cardstock flower tutorial and some pretty tagsI was at a fun scrapbooking retreat a few weeks ago, and decided to take a break from making pages, and try something new. Do you ever have one of those ideas in your head, and sometimes they turn out and sometimes they don't? Fortunately, this one turned out just like the idea in my head, and I was so pleased! I used a combination of ideas from<a href="http://www.jennifermcguireink.com/"> Jennifer McGuire</a> and <a href="http://timholtz.com/blog/">Tim Holtz</a> to make these tags and flowers, and love them.<br />
<br />
First, I started with some<a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=dcwv&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CGAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dcwv.com%2F&ei=S4mQT7yhNMGSiQKetLj9Ag&usg=AFQjCNGHe5vizHxAbCu8tex1ZCb1Q3WDsw"> DCWV</a> white core cardstock, although I am not sure what the color purple is called. I tore some random sized spiral shapes from the cardstock, one for each flower. Some had thinner or thicker spirals, and some had more laps around the circle, if that makes sense. That way all the flowers I made were varying in width, thickness and density. <br />
<br />
I spritzed each spiral with a mixture of <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/the-41084/Ranger-COMPLETE-SET-32/Detail">Perfect Pearls</a> powder and water like this, on a<a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/the-15486/ranger-inkssentials-craft-sheet/Detail"> craft sheet</a>. They now make the spray<a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/the-28849/ranger-industries-altered-art/Detail"> already combined</a>, but I just do it the old fashioned way by mixing the powder and water in a spray mister I already had.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/tags/?action=view&current=IMG_20120331_120705-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Untitled" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/tags/IMG_20120331_120705-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
And then I crumpled them up while they were wet, and then flattened them out to dry. I used my <a href="http://www.joann.com/american-crafts-zap-embossing-heat-gun/zprd_10066181a/">heat tool</a>, but you can also just let them air dry.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/tags/?action=view&current=IMG_20120331_121651-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Untitled" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/tags/IMG_20120331_121651-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Once they were dry, I used a <a href="http://www.joann.com/quilled-creations-quilling-slotted-tool/xprd72709/">Quilling tool </a>to roll the flowers up. I always thought you were supposed to start rolling on the inside, but after watching a few how-to videos, I started on the outside like they did.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/tags/?action=view&current=IMG_20120331_121708-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Untitled" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/tags/IMG_20120331_121708-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Once the layers are all rolled up, not too tightly, it looks like this. This is the time to do any adjusting, to get it looking how you want. I gave it a slight backwards twist just to loosen the center a bit, but don't over think it. They are all going to look differently, and that's ok.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/tags/?action=view&current=IMG_20120331_121746-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Untitled" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/tags/IMG_20120331_121746-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Once it is arranged how you like, slide it off of the tool, and flip it over while keepig a good grip so it won't unravel. Now you can see why it is a good idea to start on the outside, because when you get to the end, you are left with a little flap that was the center of the spiral. Place a <a href="http://www.joann.com/glue-dots-removable-1-2-clear/prd61526/">glue dot</a> right on it, and then cover the base of your flower.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/tags/?action=view&current=IMG_20120331_121956-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Untitled" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/tags/IMG_20120331_121956-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Voila! Now there is a nice neat base for your flower to sit on :) It is still a little loose, so handle it carefully. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/tags/?action=view&current=IMG_20120331_121852-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Untitled" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/tags/IMG_20120331_121852-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Once the flower is complete, I used <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=244984&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/the-9666/ranger-inkessential-inkssentials-glossy/Detail">Glossy Accents</a> as another adhesive. Place the nozzle down in the center and give a little squeeze, and maybe a few small squirts inside any of the other loose petals. It doesn't take long to dry, and once they are all finished they will be nice and stable.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/tags/?action=view&current=IMG_20120331_121901-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Untitled" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/tags/IMG_20120331_121901-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
For the purple flowers I didn't put anything in the centers. They looked just fine how they were. For other ones I put jewels, half pearls, or <a href="http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?sku=1005-410">white flower stamens</a> that I found at Michael's.<br />
<br />
These tags started as plain white, but were super easy to decorate. I started by dabbing colors of Tim Holtz Distress Inks on my craft sheet and adding a few spritzes of the pearlized water. For each tag I used a few different shades of the same color for some variation. I rubbed the tag around in the ink and then set it aside to dry, or use the heat tool again. Once it was dry, I rubbed the edges with one of the same color of inks, using the<a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=244984&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/the-14083/distress-distressor-distressing-IBT23616/Detail"> foam ink blending tool</a>. Lastly, I inked up a large background stamp with another of the same shades, and lightly pressed it on the tag. <br />
<br />
For all of these tags, I cut some leaf shapes out of the<a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CGkQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cricut.com%2Fshopping%2FProductDetails.aspx%3Fid%3D162&ei=9pCQT9TjHKyMigLxgP2VAw&usg=AFQjCNGeppwE_3_Cl_zacNxz75Nv0mSWHQ"> Stretch Your Imagination Cricut cartridge</a> in varying sizes, from white cardstock. My favorite is <a href="http://www.neenahpaper.com/?gclid=COKOx4T7wa8CFRJlhwodiB90YA">Neenah</a>, it is great for stamping, inking, and Copics, all of that. Using the same technique, I inked and sprayed them and added a few pearls and ribbons. All done :)<br />

I went to Joann's the other day and bought the <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=dcwv%20immortal%20love&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CEgQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.diecutswithaview.com%2Fproduct_view.php%3Fid%3D2174&ei=Iu3bTvT2OYSoiAL5vPzmCQ&usg=AFQjCNHOvpi4Sf3SIDZSVlp2XmqzsXzcZQ">Immortal Love DCWV</a> stacks, and decided to do something with them and these cigar boxes I had lying around...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111129_214725.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111129_214725.jpg" width="298" /></a><br />
<br />
The first thing I did was paint the box black with acrylic craft paint, then <a href="http://www.plaidonline.com/mod-podge/brand/home.htm">Mod Podged</a> the papers onto all sides, using the matte finish and a sponge brush. I didn't take pics of these steps, sorry.. The next thing I did was applied some <a href="http://www.michaels.com/6oz.-Fine-Crackle-Effect/cp0485,default,pd.html">Martha Stewart Fine Crackle Medium</a> to the top of the box over the Mod Podge, and rubbed a bit of <a href="http://www.rangerink.com/pcbfall10.htm">Barn Door Distress Ink</a> and <a href="http://www.scrap-n-crop.com/webshaper/store/viewProd.asp?pkProductItem=3242">pearl glaze</a> in the cracks and wiped it off. Then I attached some <a href="http://www.papertreyink.com/pm_ribbon_tb.html">PTI black twill ribbon</a> to the outside of the spine for stability with <a href="http://www.rangerink.com/products/prod_inkssentials_glossy.htm">Glossy Accents.</a><br />
<br />
I purchased a few flowers for this project, but they weren't fitting the idea I had in my head, so I decided to create my own! I used individual flowers in white and red from the <a href="http://www.michaels.com/Recollections/products-scrapbooking-recollections,default,sc.html">Michael's Recollections</a> brand. Here is the first flower, plain white.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111202_203725.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="298" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111202_203725.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
Then I inked it up with <a href="http://www.rangerink.com/products/prod_dyeink_distresspads.htm">Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink</a>, using the<a href="http://www.rangerink.com/products/prod_inkssentials_blendingtool.htm"> inking tool and a blending sponge</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111202_204051.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111202_204051.jpg" width="298" /></a><br />
<br />
The next step was to use a hot glue gun and folded the first flower in half, and then in half again, to make the samllest center 'bud'. Once it was folded, I rolled the base between my fingers while it was still a little warm to mold it.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111202_204245.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="298" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111202_204245.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Then I used the glue gun and added the next layer, also rolling the base to mold it to the smaller center.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111202_204309.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111202_204309.jpg" width="298" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111202_204345.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="298" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111202_204345.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
Then I added the third flowwer, and repeated the same steps.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111202_204408.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111202_204408.jpg" width="298" /></a><br />
<br />
One it was all glued together, I fluffed and shaped it to how I wanted, and snipped the pointy base off of the bottom so it would be able to sit a bit more flat. I also inked it a bit more, so none of the white was showing where the flower had been folded over and the back of the petals showed.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111202_204634.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111202_204634.jpg" width="298" /></a><br />
<br />
Next I sprayed the whole thing with a mixture of <a href="http://www.rangerink.com/products/prod_perfectpearls_jars.htm">Perfect Pearls</a> powder and water.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111202_204931.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111202_204931.jpg" width="298" /></a><br />
<br />
Once it was dry, I adhered a <a href="http://americancrafts.com/subcategory.php?id=23&sub=202">American Crafts pearl brad</a> to the center. I snipped the prongs off of the back side and used hot glue.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111202_210305.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111202_210305.jpg" width="298" /></a><br />
<br />
I repeated the same steps for a red flower. Here they are, pre-inked.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111202_203936.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="298" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111202_203936.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
I used the same ink, the Black Soot...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111202_204033.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="298" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111202_204033.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
Folded and rolled the center...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111202_205120.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111202_205120.jpg" width="298" /></a><br />
<br />
The second layer...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111202_205240.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111202_205240.jpg" width="298" /></a><br />
<br />
And the completed flower. This one had a few more layers since I used the sheer flowers too, but was made the same way.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111202_205621.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="298" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111202_205621.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
I also sprayed it with the pearlized water, and adhered a half pearl for the center.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111202_205916.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111202_205916.jpg" width="298" /></a><br />
<br />
Here is everything attached to the box! I used my two assembled flowers, some black sheer ribbon tyed into a bow, and a heart stick pin from the sewing department of Joann's. I used a jump ring to hold a heart charm by Tim Holtz on the pin, and some tiny roses (sprayed with the pearlized water) and a rhinestone flourish, both from the Recollections brand as well. I attached it all with hot glue. The feet of the box are by Tim Holtz too and I used Glossy Accents to attach these.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111204_131741.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111204_131741.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111204_131818.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111204_131818.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
I used Mod Podge and the same papers for the inside of the box as well.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/?action=view&current=IMG_20111204_131856.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/altered/cigar%20boxes/IMG_20111204_131856.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
This turned out so wonderfully, and one of my closest friends is purchasing it for her 14 year old daughter for Christmas! She is a Twilight <em>fanatic</em>, and is going to be so excited :) I have a few more of these in the works, and hopefully will list them in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/byShasta">my Etsy Shop</a> soon! It's empty right now since I haven't been crafting in a while, but hope to change that real quick.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302821315386583682.post-70265764392420025172010-10-02T10:52:00.000-07:002010-10-02T10:52:56.684-07:00School swap stuff...Two swaps in a row? It has been ages since I did a swap, and forgot how fun they are ;) This one was a school theme, and we could make anything. A tag, a journal block, an embellishment, whatever. I dug deep for this one! I decided to make a journaling card, and a library tag seemed like the perfect fit.<br />
<br />
I used these two $1 stamp sets, I believe they both came from Michael's awhile back. I used the stars in yellow, the A+ in the scallop circle in red, and the 'good work' inside the circles in black.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/swap%20projects/?action=view&current=Image10012010133848.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="school" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/swap%20projects/Image10012010133848.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And these inks..<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/swap%20projects/?action=view&current=Image10012010133912.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/swap%20projects/Image10012010133912.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I cut the pockets and tags using the <a href="http://www.overstock.com/Crafts-Sewing/Provo-Craft-Coluzzle-Library-Pocket-Template/3128251/product.html">Coluzzle system</a>. It came with the template to cut both pocket and tag, as well as the cling stamp for the tag. I bought it years ago, probably 8 or 9, and it was still in the package! Of course I HAD to have it back then ;) It's nice when you can go shopping in your stash!<br />
<br />
The pocket is plain black carstock, and I cut pieces to line it from the <a href="http://www.diecutswithaview.com/product_view.php?id=1587">DCWV Grade School stack</a>. The tags are plain white cardstock, and so is the decorative strip on the front. I used an EK Success punch for the edge, <a href="http://www.eksuccessbrands.com/ektools/Products/Binding_Edge_Edger_Punch_EKPL8002.htm">Binding Edge</a>.<br />
<br />

I am really pleased with how these came out! I usually have a tough time coming up with an idea, but these came together fairly quicly. Love it when that happens ;)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302821315386583682.post-6986753953574794252010-09-22T22:22:00.000-07:002010-09-22T22:22:00.443-07:00PTI Inspired...I love, Love, LOVE <a href="http://www.papertreyink.com/">Papertrey Ink</a> stuff :) Love their products, love their designers, love it all! I was browsing the site last month and came across <a href="http://forum.papertreyink.com/forum/gallery2.php?g2_itemId=114772">this set of cards</a> that I had to try making. And as much as I would have loved to order the stamp set, I had enough leaf stamps in my stash to make my own version! I used a bunch of misc. stamps; Hero Arts, $1 stamps from Joann's, and the one on the far right is also from Joann's, but don't remember the name.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/?action=view&current=DSC00252.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/DSC00252.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
These are the ink colors I used...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/?action=view&current=DSC00253.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/DSC00253.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
First, I inked up the stamps directly from the pads, spritzed them with water, and then stamped randomly all over the paper. I wanted it a bit more watercolor-like, so I did the second round a bit different.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/?action=view&current=DSC00254.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/DSC00254.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/?action=view&current=DSC00255.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/DSC00255.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
I applied the ink to my craft sheet and then spritzed the craft sheet with water. Then, using the sheet as my 'ink pad,' I inked up the stamps that way. I got a bit more variation in the colors, and more control over the water.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/?action=view&current=DSC00256.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/DSC00256.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
I wasn't planning on doing two pages, but I had enough ink left on my craft sheet to do another one :)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/?action=view&current=DSC00257.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/DSC00257.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/?action=view&current=DSC00258.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/DSC00258.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
This set of stamps is a Martha Stewart set, with each flower having an outline and a solid image that match. I stamped the solid shape first, with a spritz of water on the stamp, then the outline in the same color without water. Not sure how I like it, but it may look better when cut up on the card :)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/?action=view&current=DSC00259.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/DSC00259.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Each piece of 8 1/2" x 11" paper was cut into 8 pieces, 2 3/4" x 4 1/4". <br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/?action=view&current=DSC00260.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/DSC00260.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
I mounted the cut squares onto cardstock, and sewed around the edges with my sewing machine. I also inked up the edges with some Tim Holtz Tea Dye ink with the blending tool, added the ribbon, and then it was all ready for a card base!<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/?action=view&current=DSC00264.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/ssshasta/cards/DSC00264.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
I haven't added any sentiments yet, still working on that part! But I am leaving tomorrow afternoon for the <a href="http://www.the3day.org/">Seattle 3day Breast Cancer Walk</a>, so that will have to wait ;)<br />
