Dad's Turn

Hello Ladies

Welcome to my second project for the moth of May,

Now the Mothers Day is done and dusted,

I thought I'd turn to Fathers Day, as it will be here before we know it, so here is a couple of simply made Fathers day ideas, for the kids to make, or for the school Fathers day stall, 

with the Magnolia Lane Collection
 

 

Key Holder and Money Tin

 

First project

Key Holder



 

First I covered a pine board, with pattern paper from them Magnolia Lane 12x12 pad



 

Here I've stamped several of the circle stamps from  

4 x 6in Stamp Set - Timeless Garden, Layering them with Foam Mounting Tape

 

 

Just because it's for dad, doesn't mean you can use a little bling,

Crystal - 2mm Gemstones

 

 

to finish I added hooks and a little string

 

Second project

Money tin

 

 

Select another page from the Magnolia Lane Paper Pack 12x12 Inch , run some

Double Sided Tape 12mm, along all the edges of your paper, the simply wrap it round the tin

 

 

Again I've used the amazing 4 x 6in Stamp Set - Timeless Garden , some of the stamped images,

have been raised with Foam Mounting Tape

 

 

Behind the stamped images, I cut the outer frame from Damask Frame

 

 

Here I've cover the lid of the tin, with layers of pattern paper,

and stamped images

 

 

Hope you, have a little fun, recycling bits of timber, and old tins

Home Made Photo Frame

Good morning Ladies,

Welcome to my first May post,

today I've made a photo frame, out of everyday cardboard box.

so lets go

 

First from any cardboard box you have laying around, cut a frame shape.

Glue the fame to a sheet of pattern paper, from Magnolia Lane Paper Pack 12x12 Inch,
cut a cross through the centre of the frame

 

Trim back the centre cross, glue back the inner flaps

 

Glue down the corners, followed by the outer edges

 

Now from the cardboard, cut a piece to fit over the frame, keeping this one solid for the back of the frame, again cover it in pattern paper, folding all the edges in, cut and place a piece of cardstock over the inner back, just to make it neat

 

now we are cut a strip of cardboard box and covering it, to make the frame stand, this is glued to centre

 

To start our flower cluster, cut several Floral Layers Blue Eyed Daisy, Magnolia Frame

and a few Everyday Essentials Classic Leaf.

Attach the flower layers, spritz with water, and bend each petal to the centre. spritz the leaves and press them into your palm of you hand, this will give them a nice natural look

cut the frame corner to corner, to use as a flourish behind the cluster

 

 

Close up of flower cluster

 

Arrange the flowers once dry, into a cluster on one corner, to suit your style, add a few White - English Roses (1.5cm)), some glitter, and have fun

Stunning

Hello Again

Today I'm sharing another layout using the lovely,

Couture Creations Secret Graden Collection of  Dies.

So lets go

 

 

These are a quick photo of the dies used in the project, less the sign post

 

Below are 2 different flowers I've made with the same Chevron Bloom Die,

the first one I cut 3 of the flowers, inked the edgse, place a spot of glue in the centres, using the
Turbo Glue Pen, after the glue has dried, spritz with water, scrunch each layer in to the centre, spritz between layers, sit aside to dry, then gently open up your flower as much as you like

 

2nd flower, cut 3 Chevron Blooms, and 3 each of the Layered Bloom die,

Again glue the layers of Chevron together, spritz, pinch each petal and fold up to the centre, then do the same with the Layered Bloom, top 3 layer, the bottom 3 just squeeze the in, place some glue in the centre of the Chevron, and add the Layered Bloom to the centre

 

 

Finished flower, just add some 2mm Gemstone to the middle, and touch the edges with

 some Glitzn' Glamour



 

To make the bordered edge on the layout, I cut the Picket Fance out several times, in 3 different colours, then simply laid them over each other

 

Finished flower, here I've used the flourish, from the Butterfly Flourish Die Set, behind the flowers along with a favourate form the Everyday Essentials collection Strawberry Leaf

 

Here I cut one each of the 3 Letterboxes, in shades of purple, and again 3 in back, where I cut the roof of each one, and placed the over the purple Letterboxes, adding a few 2mm Crytal Gemstone, for that touch of bling, I also cut one of the birds from the Chirp Chirp die and add him to one of the Letterboxes 

 

Using the Layered Buttetfly, in pinks and purple, I've scattered them over my layout, in doubles and singles, to keep the wings up, I use 3d Foan Dots, again for a liitle bling, add 2mm Gemstone to the body of the butterflies

 

And finally I've place a little Glitzn' Glamour here and there

So when you have all your ellements done, place them on your layout, or card to suit your style

hope you enjoy these, but most of all have fun
