Phase IV - Pinwheel Album

This is becoming quite the project LOL.

I'm still basically on phase 3, but

it's slow going.   Here are a few more photos

and I still have another full section to do

pockets and tags for before I

venture into the final "bling" phase.

 

 

 

 

Here' s the top of the blue section

where I added another pocket using

one of the big flowers, but used it

in conjunction with a blue background

instead of a stand-alone.

Used a Spellbinder's die for the tags.

 

 

Here's the first flip out of the blue section.

I've added decoration to the pocket

and two tags decorated with a punched

out area. More on the funky flower in a bit.

 

 

Here's the blue section partially done

and opened up.  There's a tag

under the flower "pocket" and

a tag in the big pocket.

 

 

Below are four chipboard flowers

that I've had for eons.

They've been embossed several

times each with a couple of different

embossing powder colors

and finished off with Magic Speckle

to give them an enameled look.

All the EPs are from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

While the EP was still hot I pressed

a stamp from Sparkle N Sprinkle's Swirls Set

into the hot EP to give it texture.

The paper flowers on top were cut out

using the Spellbinder's Rose Creations die

and topped off with Stampin' Up stick on pearls.

 

 

 

More to follow in a few days...

 

 

 



A Purse for Goodies!

Just thought I'd share a fun little project that my Paper Crafts club did a while back.  This was compliments of my friend, Nancy who's a Stampin' Up rep.  She provided the pattern and off we went!
It's a perfect size to hold 4 cards and envelopes (4 1/2 x 5 1/2 sized) and is fast and easy.........   You can even size it down to be smaller and make different sizes that are perfect for candy, gift cards and other small treats.........

This one was made using Stampin' Up designer paper which has unfortunately been discontinued to the dismay of our little club group.  It was one of our favorites!   I added some white lace that I gave an antique look to using shimmer sprays and topped it with satin ribbon, a dimensional paper flower and cute little blue flower brads.

Once I started with these, I couldn't stop....   This one was more elegant using a beautiful textured, glittery cardstock and mirror cardstock for the closure and the clasp.  Used my handy dandy Spellbinder's scalloped oval dies to make the closure and some stick on half beads.  

This one was the little teeny size just right for a gift card or a few pieces of candy.  I made bunches of them for my Stampin' Up party as a hostess gift for my guests.  Of course, I hate to make the same thing over and over so they all had to be different.

The larger purse started out as a 12 x 12 piece of cardstock and was scored at 2 3/4 on one side and 2 3/4 in on the opposite side.  The other two sides were scored in at 4 1/2 and 4 1/2.
The smaller started as 6 x 6 and was scored at 2 1/2 and 2 1/2 on opposite sides and the other two sides were 1 1/2 x 1 1/2.

Since Christmas is fast approaching, I thought I'd start off my merry little blog with 3 of my favorite "Hat Lady" Christmas cards using the fabulous images from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

The first card showcases Sparkle N Sprinkle's  Lara - colored with Copic Markers and highlighted using

The Spellbinder's 2010 Heirloom Ornament Die - topped off with a bow and a bit of bling!

Next up is Maryanne who can be found on Sparkle N Sprinkle's Stamp Set 164

 - again using Copic Markers to color the image

 - Spellbinder dies using the Out of the Box Nesties technique and a bit of

bling added using Sparkle N Sprinkle's Silver Leaf Glitter Tinsel

Lastly is Sparkle N Sprinkle's Isabelle -  colored with Copic Markers -

layered using Spellbinder Dies - metallic bling - rhinestones

and the fabulous fur stole is created with soft fuzzy Swanky Gray flocking from

the Sparkle N Sprinkle collection.



I hope you enjoyed these as much as I enjoyed creating them.
