Friday Night's Online Class

Here are the two cards I shared with the ladies on Friday night during our class.  It's always fun to share with the ladies.  The first card is an easel card using Want2Scrap Sewing Notion.  

I painted the Want2Scrap Sewing Notion with black acrylic paint and added some bling and buttons to finish the card off.

The next card is approximately 5 1/2 x 5 1/2" and I just Want2Scrap Vintage Fancy Frames and distressed a bit with some off white acrylic paint. Make some rosette flowers out of left over pieces of scrap paper and embellished with Want2Scrap Black Rhinestone bling and a heart shape doiley.  In the center of the flowers I added a small pearl adhesive bling from Want2Scrap.

I hope you enjoyed this project!  Please leave a comment.

Bird Pizzazz

So, as I was creating my cards today, I realized that  had a pattern...a birdie pattern.  It's not everyday that I create cards, but here lately I have found myself creating cards.  Maybe it's because there are a lot easier to assemble.  I'm more like a challenger.  I like to think outside the box and use things that are forgotten, so in general I believe I am missing the Goodwills in Texas. Altering a project is just AWESOME, so I think I will be on a mission.

The following card is approximately 5 1/2 x 5 1/2".  I used Want2Scrap Nestaboard Label 25, Black Rhinestone Swirl, Card Size Charlie Bird Cage, and My Mind Eye Lost & Found Designer Paper.
I can't tell you how excited I am to be able to use Want2Scrap on my projects it just gives any project that extra special touch.

Shabby Mini Album

I can't tell you how much fun I have using Want2Scrap bling!  I truly enjoy using awesome products for my projects, it just makes it a lot more fun!  

Yesterday, I was totally inspired by Marion Smith's tutorial on her binding album.  I was instantly inspired to create my own mini album.  So, yes I love bling, I love flowers, buttons, and mini albums.  These things are just a few things that really describes me.

My album is 4 x 6 and I used chipboard.  I covered the chipboard with Donna Salazar Denim Sheets that can be purchased at Want2Scrap online store www.want2scrap.com.  Now, I don't get paid by Want2Scrap, I don't work for them, nor do I design for them, but I can tell you this much about their products, they are AWESOME!  The best thing is that their Nestabling goes perfect with Spellbinder Nestabilities, and they come in various colors and designs!!!! So if you haven't done so yet, go check them out.

Now, let's get back to that album, I used Scor Tape to adhere the denim sheets to the covers.  My pages are actually Canson watercolor paper that I picked up at Hobby Lobby.  I cut the water color pages to 6 x 8" and scored each page at 4" I had a total of 7 cut.  I then cut my favorite cardstock ever Kraft paper to 3 3/4" x 5 3/4" and a pieces of Wild Roses by Colorbok to fit the Kraft paper which were 3 1/2" x  5 1/2".  I sewed these onto the Kraft paper and then glued onto the watercolor pages that I had already cut and scored.  

I pierced 4 holes on the pages and used hemp string to bind the pages together.  Now you can watch the tutorial at Marion Smith Designs webpage.  It was very easy to do and very beautiful.

My cover I distressed by using acrylic paint and Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  The Denim sheets by Donna Salazar worked great for this project.  I used Want2Scrap black swirl bling and Donna's Hand Drawn Swirls, which I painted and distressed.  My inside cover I adhered the the Eiffel Tower Diecut also found at www.want2scrap.com.  My digital images are from Iralamija's collection Heart collage and Love Mail, so check out her online store as well.

My flowers are from Wild Orchard and so are the pins.  The lacy is just something I picked up at a thrift shop.  I hope you enjoy this beautiful mini album.  Please leave me a comment.

Sew Sweet

I love things like buttons, bling, flowers, antique sewing machines, and mannequins.  I found this digital images from Iralamija's Sewing Room collage sheets.  You can do so much with these collage sheets.

The card is 6x6 Ivory Coordination mixed with K&Company and Kraft Paper.  To add to the mannequin digital image I added things like buttons and sewed the edges of the layers.  Now NO card is complete without Want2Scrap Bling!!!  I used some of the black swirl bling from Want2Scrap to give it that oh la la and finishing touch.  To see Want2Scrap huge selection of bling be sure to stop by www.want2scrap.com and check out their online store.

I love the way a card turns out after you sew on paper.  Adding buttons, just gave this card that amazing final touch.

Enjoy!
