I’ve been a bit under the weather lately…. a cold but still creating….
This is the outside of my card….
And the inside of my card….
This is my take on a pop up card by stampin up. No I have not bought the die from stampin up.
****Shhhh**** I recreated the pieces, from the orginal die cut picture, cut them out by hand and constructed the “cake”
sorry but I cannot post the file here on my blog as I’ll get into trouble with Stampin up. Even though I will be giving it away- it will not be fully ethical to do that – aye. Even though the Prima lolliepop flowers are all over the internet on how to make them. Agggghhhh Not sure what to do so I won’t post it up. If in dought don’t do it -right.
Anyway here is a layout I did the other day for a challenge at Bad Girls.
They are doing bleuprint challenges every week. This week is going off a sketch and a collage of photos to do with old rusty gates and fences. Very inspiring!
The flower/swirl is actually wood Kaiser craft embellishment. I made it look like rusty metal by painting it and sprinkling clear glitter over it and then adding JudiKins diamond glaze over it in spots. Quite effective.
This is my no angle layout for the challenge over at If Its Groovy
The cardstock is hand painted/stamped by me. The fairy is cut out from 1970’s kids story book. The vine is from a second hand store for next to nothing in a hug bunch of other fake flowers. I just sprinkled it with glitter glue. The lace is from an old top. I also added some Tattered Angels butterfly and birds. The swirl is from Kaiser craft wood piece. I filled the heart with glitter glue and JudiKins diamond glaze.
I had heaps of fun experimenting on that layout!
Well got to go I hope I’ve given you some inspiration. Take care.
I was contacted online about a friends baby shower….. 2 days before the actual event.
Oooops should have known it was going to come up but I hadn’t got anything…..
Lucky I have some fabric scraps so got to work…..
and made my first fabric doll in years.
and the top of the head
If you want the pattern for this doll go to: Judi’s dolls
I did the hair and body different from the original pattern by Judi but it is generally the same thing.
Now the doll took me 6 hours from start to finish (not including the time on the net looking for a simple dolls pattern) and the tag took about 30 min. Not bad for a last min pressie. I also put the doll into a cane basket and put into it some scrap goodies too. All of which I had lying around the house unused. groovy aye.
And she has there another great video on how to do a wedding dress embellishment. I down loaded it and experimented with the file. I ended up making a few extra templates. With her permission I can post it up here… DressesTempate
Now I also painted up a glass to make it into a tea-light candle holder on Tuesday night. It was art group. The art group gets together once a month and we all talk, do an activity, pray, have show and tell.
Pictures?
here you go….
here are some close ups:
This card used the original dress template. I did something similar but made it into a ball dress instead of a wedding dress.
Cardstock is from Midnight Kisses – Heidi Grace range.
lace from an old top my next door neighbor gave me.
heidi Grace ribbon.
pink glitter.
I had printed the dress on sticky back paper and used the sticky side for adhering on the lace and glitter.
This is my dress template now – the original I traced.
This is also printed onto sticky back paper but have stamped on the non sticky side with my Kaiser Craft stamp.
Outlined the stamp with my daughters smelly gel pens. and added ribbon.
Cardstock and sticker by Kimberly Polosen – Natures flora range
This is my celery stamped paper. I used red and gold paint by Atelier.
3D sticker and cardstock by Heidi grace – midnight kisses
This is my tea light candle holder. considering it was free hand and my first time painting with glass paint I did well – lol!
I did the red runs on purpose…. truly I did! No really!
Ok so have a great day and enjoy yourself.
don’t forget to get crafty
Rest in peace Micheal Jackson?
I hear yes he has then it isn’t confirmed but found this website on the net that has been following the events…. http://www.tmz.com/
Also there are reports that Actress Farrah Fawcett is Dead at 62
Over at the
in issue 4 they have 2 tutorials that are worth looking at….
here is the result from my entry to their challenge and the tutorials. Awesome stuff!!!
A standing pop-up card:
I used my own hand carved stamp (from lino) to make the patterned cardstock fo the base of the card. then used Heidi Grace – love bug range for the rest of the card.
I had heaps of fun doing this one. I might try out the step card when I have a chance. Getting rather busy these days with my over active little boy while my daughter is at school.
