another paper rose

start with any six petal flower, I got mine from the artiste cart. and hide the center contour using cricut craft room. If you do not have a cricut I do have the diecuts for sale just send me a message and I will set you up. I then sprayed both sides with my homemade glimmer mist (water, a few drops of acrylic paint and pearl ex) then I make a slit from the inside of the petal to the center on the first one, cut off a petal on the second one, cut off 2 petals on the third one.

then fold them one petal under the one beside it until they all look like cones

shape you petals by folding them down and the glue them together

spider spinner card

 

 

 

for this card I used a 8 x 5 1/2 sheet of cardstock for the base and scored it down the middle, I used a  4x51/2 piece of laughing Lola for the front. I cut a 2 1/2 inch circle in both the base and the front  the center of the circle is at  3 1/2 inches from the bottom, 2 inches from the top and 2inches in each side.

I cut the spider web from artbooking photo mat 1 letter v at 5.5 real dial size and the spiders (you will need 2) from letter c at 2 real dial size

I glued a piece of 5inch string in-between the 2 spiders, and taped both the top and bottom of the string to the outside of the base. I then glued the webs to the front if the laughing Lola paper and glued it to the front  to cover the string.

shadow Box Frame made with Cardstock

 

for these shadow boxes I used 12x12 black card stock.

 

I used white in the example so it would show up better

score your 12x12 card stock at score 1/2, 1 ,1 1/2 and 2 then at 10, 10 1/2. 11 and 11 1/2

 

turn your paper and again score at 1/2, 1, 1 1/2, and 2 and at 10, 10 1/2, 11 and 11 1/2

then on the top and bottom of your page score at 2 1/2 down to your third score line

then cut off 1 1/2 X 2 inches of each of your corners and cut the and at the 9 1/2 also down to your third score line

the inside paper measures 7 3/4 x 7 3/4 glue this piece to your center

 

then fold all your score marks in and put glue down your inter most score line excluding the tabs ( I used a hot glue gun)

now glue your tabs at the corners and adhere a ribbon to hang

Faux Tearing

I drew my inspiration from the layout of the muse challenge this week, which you can find here

I used my paisley perfect stamp set and the lagoon ink on the right side and the swirls around stamp with gypsy ink and also in versamark. I torn a piece of scrap and masked one side as I stamped and inked, then masked the other side and did the same.

card box part 2

ok so I got some messages asking how I made the box, I am still working on my tutorial skills so please go easy on me. I did not decorate the box so that I could keep the video short, it still took 13 hours to upload it!!!!

Card Box

I am working on building up a collection of cards that I can have on hand to give to people and decided I needed to make a box to store them in. because the challenge was to make a project with “brown paper bags tied up with strings” I used some brown card stock and made a box to hold my cards. 

I used huntington paper to decorate it and fussy cut one of the flowers from the paper, adding a pop dot behind it to make it stand out a little. The yellow flower is cut from the flower shoppe cartridge

I stuck a brad through the middle of the brown flower to attach the ribbon that holds it closed

Name Change

So I am changing the name of my blog because I just realized that I must have seen it somewhere else and scrap lifted it lol I don’t want anyone to think I was trying to steal their name
