Inspirational Mini Album

 I have a new found love for Lemoncraft Design Papers and Embellisments. The “Serenity” Range in Pastel Blues and Pinks is adorable and  I decided to add some shades of Black,Tim Holtz  Kitsch Flamingo Oxide Spray and Finnabair Mermaid Texture Paste,to give my project a little pizazz. The Polystyrene Circle was a great little teaser. I was not sure what to do with it, and a little scared it would break, but it was stronger than i thought. 

Vendoruj 

I started with the Polystyrene Circle , applying a couple of coats of White Gesso.I then traced around the circle onto a piece of the “ Serenity” Pattern Paper and cut out. Next I sprayed with Lindy’s Spray Delphinium Turquoise. I then used a spatuna and applied the Finnabair Effect Paste Mermaid, and allowed to Dry. 

I tore 3 strips of the Serenity Pattern Paper and stuck to the left hand side of the circle

Then i applied the  Stamperia Crackle Paste in various places . Mix the Kitsch Flamingo Oxide Spray with Texture Paste and Apply Through the Paper Roses Stencil.

Next I made my Accordian Mini Album :

1 :Cut two pieces of Pattern Paper 4” x 8.5", join the two pieces together. Score every 4” and fold . Cut another piece of Pattern Paper 4.5” x 4” and score 1/2” on the left side . This will be your turning spine . 

Stick the mini album to the circle. 

Fussy cut Flowers , Leaves and Butterflies. Next Spray some white flowers withe blue and pink sprays. Paint the Dusty Attic Ornate Pendant with Black Gesso , Spray Lyndys spray and apply some  Mermaid paste, set aside to dry . 

I then began my layers around the album on the left and bottom edge. Sticking some flat and some with foam mounting tape. I also added some washi tape to the folds of the mini album and on the circle 

I punched a 1/2 “ circle and stuck It to The front of the album . I then stuck one of the flairs to the right side of the album. Threaded string through the hole on the front of  the album and tied off to close.

I hope I have inspired you to have a play with The Lemoncraft Pattern Papers And Embellishments. xxxxx

Bulky Card Idea

 Cards , how can we give them to the recipient . Envelopes are ok , but I don’t like the look . You could make a card box ,which is lovely . But I do mine like this :

Cut and fold white card stock 8” x 6”.Then cut Prima Golden Desert Pattern Papers : 3.5” x 6" and  4.75” x 4.5”. Take a tag from the Golden Desert Die Cuts and apply Prima Gold Crackle Paste to the edges. 

Adhere the Prima Mulberry Paper Flowers. Tie some Twine to the Cactus Charm, then attach to the tag .Apply the Flowers and Die Cuts. Then  Stamp your Sentiment and  adhere to the front of the card . Apply some Tim Holtz Tattered Rose Ink with a Sponge to the edges of the card . 

How i wrap my card: 

For the wrapping of the card . I cut a piece of White Tissue Paper  big enough to wrap my card . Next I  applied Sepia Archival Ink to the Hero Arts Bold Prints Stamp . I stamped all over the top side of the tissue paper , it looks lovely . Next stick down your embellishments, you can write the recipients name on the tag 

Next I wrapped my card and added some ribbons and twine 

This is a quick way to give a card with a little bit of extra love 

I hope I have inspired you to try a new way to give your cards xxxx

February 2021 Mood Board for Scrap Of Your Life DT

 

My Inspiration for the February Mood Board

SCOYL 1ST Project for February 2021

 The Pinnacles Desert WA

I began with a white card stock background. Used a plastic sandwich bag and dabbed it into Couture Creations Celestial Pearl Alcahol Ink  then dabbed onto the white card stock .

Next i Stamped on the page with the AALL& Create circle number stamp with Archival Sepia Ink . 

 I then layered some pattern papers and Die cuts to make a paper stack for my photo . I Then adhered the photo , and stuck to the page with foam mounting tape . 

I then added the embellishments to finish off  

Next I made a pocket page using The Golden Desert line from Prima. I decided to cut a 12" x 12" Pocket Page down to a smaller size, which i do sometimes in my albums.  

I hope i have inspired you to have a play with these products, they are gorgeous.
