 “Wings” By Toni Crane

Materials Used:
Kaisercraft 6.5″ frame (SB2114), Kaisercraft Dress Form (SB122), Miss Nelly Paper Pad (PP849), Miss Nelly Her Habits (P713), Wooden Flourish Wings (FL346), Pearl Strip Champagne (PL503), Rub ons Timeless Treasures (RB945), Paper Blooms Coconut (F640), Paper Blooms Cranberry (F638), Mini Paper Blooms Aubergine (F654), White Lace (E926).
Other products: white flowers, leaves, tulle, paint, ink, ribbon, kindy glitz, transparency, grunge board wings.

Toni says:
“I wanted a frame that would be able to sit on a shelf or my desk, so I combined both the 6.5″ frame and one of the free-standing dress forms.
Wanting a shabby chic look, I painted the frame and form with a pale pink, then a top coat of white. Sanding all of the edges gives a distressed shabby feel to the project.
To get the full pleated skirt for the dress form, join 2 pieces of paper from the paper pad, and concertina it, flaring the bottom. The Miss Nelly paper pad has a lot of small detailed papers that work perfectly for projects like this.
I added tulle to the bottom of the skirt to add a strip of colour and hid the top of the pleats with a spray of flowers, ribbon, and tulle, finished with a butterfly rub on on a scrap piece of transparency, folded in the middle and kindy glitz. Then added some flourish rub ons and pearls for detail.
The quote in the frame has been printed onto transparency, and although this one is designed to be permanent, it would be a simple solution to not seal the top of the frame and be able to change the quote as your moods and circumstances change, or even add a photo.
Inking the glossy pink pattern paper on the front of the frame with white brings out the pattern and softens the bright pink.
Flowers were added to the base of the dress form, and the top right corner of the frame completes the visual triangle and finishing with a bit of kindy glitz to the edges of the flowers leaves adds sparkle.”

Vicki says:
“I am a real softy when it comes to cuteness – so when I saw the red and white spotted paper in the Miss Nelly range I grabbed them quick!
Of course I needed an outlet for this cuteness which I managed to find in the latest release from Kaisercraft – the 3 Draw Peg Shelf!
The intention is for this to be used for my youngest daughter’s room – as she just loves red!  We haven’t really decided what she is going to store in it – but a couple of thoughts of using the hooks for her necklaces and hairbands is the top of the list, with the draws being used for her clips and little jewels.  While other ideas of using the hooks for her hats and scarves are coming into the conversation as well – I can see myself creating more of these versatile little storage shelves!”

 “Keepsake/Gift/Jewellery Box” By Cassandra Bright

Materials Used:
Miss Nelly paper-Her Smile (P708), Rub Ons (RB934), Paper Blooms-Sea Breeze (F631), Mini Paper Blooms-Ruby (F653) Fuchsia (F656) Dusty Pink (F658), Kaisercraft Acrylic Paint-White (KC001)

Cassie says:
“I bet your all loving playing with the new gorgeous ranges from Kaisercraft! I felt like doing something a little bit different with my Miss Nelly papers and made a Keepsake/Gift/Jewellery Box. Let your imagination decide what you would use this for! And how cute would it look in a little girl’s room!
The box is a wooden ply box purchased from a variety store for a bargain price. I first used a mini screwdriver to take the hinges and closure off the box, as they can get quite yucky looking if you leave them on while painting, plus if you remove them you have a more professional look. I have then painted the entire box with Kaisercraft Acrylic White Paint (KC001) inside and out.
If you look at the picture above you will notice I have used one of the fantastic colour Rub Ons I have added to the glass top of the box. I’d never applied a rub on onto glass before so I was thrilled when it came up a treat. I have also added Miss Nelly colour Rub Ons to provide a border for the glass window looking into the box.
To decorate the outsides of the box and the base inside the box I have used Miss Nelly-Her Smile paper (P708). I have applied this to the box using Modge Podge. Once all sides were covered I have then Modge Podged the entire inside and outside of the box, even over the border rub ons to help preserve them.
And to finish added some Paper Blooms. I hope I have provided some inspiration for you all today.
Thanks for stopping by xo”

Janna Says:
“ The 6.5” frames are perfect for photos but also to create some home decoration. First I painted the wood frame in pink and added a thin layer of Gesso after the first layer was completely dry. I left some spots blank so the pink will shine through as this gives a lovely shabby look to the project. I used some of my scraps to decorate the frame and heat embossed the chipboard. The sheet of music is an overlay, it´s called Four Corners and it is fantastic to add the certain something to the frame.”

“For card 1, take a piece of kraft card stock measure 25 x 11 cm. Then fold it to a card. Cut out a piece of dessin paper measures 11.5 x 10.5 cm. Add a tag on the left ( used ink around the corners ). Also cut out some stamp images and a butterfly from the papers. I used a rub ons on a piece of paper and cut it out and added foam tape underneath it so it lifts. Spray some glimmermist on the wings and the flower and add them onto the card. Place the butterfly on it. Add some pearls as an extra touch.
For Card 2, cut a piece of white card stock measured 30.5 x 14 cm. Fold it to a card. Use some ink around the edges. Then cut out a piece of dessin paper thats a bit smaller then the surface. In the middle you add another piece of dessin paper and a tag as well. Everything has ink around the edges.Then you add the lace on the bottom and the pearl strips. Also add the rub ons. After that you can add the flowers. Spray some glimmermist on the wooden flourishes and let it dry. Then place it on the card!

- When the white paint is dry, spread shades of the “Metallic and Luster Rub-ons” with fingers.
- Inside of the card, the butterfly had the same treatment of colouring than the bird’s cage on the top of the card.
- To create some beautiful embellishments, cut some butterfly of “Paper pad-Timeless Vintage” and put some “Stickles” on it to obtain some brightness.
The “Timeless paper pads” are very practical and can be use for different themes like: nature, country, butterfly, time, clock, newspaper….. let’s go your imagination!! It’s fantastic! “

“The Timeless 6.5″ x 6.5″ paper pads and rub-ons are gorgeous. The paper pads come in a lovely black & white deck and a vintage deck. The pattern papers have very classic, timeless and versatile designs on them. For my “Dream” layout, I thought I would go for the black & white patterns to contrast with the lovely pastels in my photo.

I used a dye to cut the title, Dream, out of one of the pattern papers in the deck. I then applied a mix of navy and spearmint acrylic paint to it as well as the mini journal tag. I created the same effect with the punched flowers, applying a mix of pink and yellow acrylic paint. To create some additional depth and texture, I dry impressed polka dots around the flowers. I then applied some finishing touches by tying some white twine around the mini journal tag, and applying rub-ons, pearls and pearl brads.”

Hello Everyone!

Todays Tuesday Tip is by Svetlana Austin from our 2011-2012 Contributing Design Team.

Svetlans says:

“Hi everyone! Today I want to show you how you can make some quick cute little gifts for someone special.

You will need: small glasses (they need to be as straight as possible), paper of your choice, lace, paper blooms, pearl or rhinestone flourishes and green leaves (I used plastic leaves). Additionally you will need a border puncher, double-sided tape and craft glue.

Materials Used:
Miss Nelly Collection Paper – Her Eyes/P707; Paper Blooms – Dusty Pink/F641, Ruby/F636; Pearl Flourishes/PL515.
Other: glasses, lace, leaves, border punch, glue, double sided tape.

Cut 2 strips of scrapbooking paper. The width of the strips should be about same as the height of your glasses. The length of the paper and lace strips should be about 1 cm more than the circumference of the glasses – you don’t want to end up with a little gap when you stick the paper to the glass!

Use your border punch to decorate the edges of the paper strips. Then, using double-sided tape, stick it to the glasses. Place the lace strips over the paper. If you worry that you will be able to see the tape through the lace, then you can stick it with a few drops of craft glue, just make sure that you glue dries clear.

The last step will be decorating your candle holders. For mine, I just used some paper blooms, green leaves and pearl swirls. You can do it according to your taste and imagination – the decoration part can be as simple or as complicated as you desire! Have fun!”

Hello Everyone! I hope you enjoyed today’s earlier post of  Jodi’s Creative Card!

Sticking with cards, we now have the Miss Nelly Collection and how it can be used to make cards.

Cassandra Says:
“I LOVE pink! I generally don’t care what shade of pink, as long as it is pink! I love pink so much I had a pink wedding dress!
Ok, so now you have a full understanding of my love for pink, you will also understand why I love the Miss Nelly Collection! It contains several shades of pinks throughout the pattern paper and embellishments. Ok, ok I won’t forget all the other pretty colours either )
Today I’d love to share a “Happy Birthday” card I created with the Miss Nelly collection. It is a standard 6x6inch card, no fancy folds today, sometimes simple is better especially with papers as gorgeous as the Miss Nelly.
I have also coloured in a gorgeous Magnolia image with pinks that match the Miss Nelly papers. For those of you who use Copic Markers the pinks for the dress are: R81, R83 & R85. I have used a mix of 12×12 Miss Nelly papers and the Mini Paper Pad papers. And to finish off the card I have added one of the cutie-pie Canvas Tags from the Miss Nelly range. I love Canvas Tags, they add texture to your projects.”

Hello everyone! I hope your weekend has been filled with lot’s of scrap-booking so far!

Today we have a lot more inspiration for you to enjoy!

Jodi Dolbel is here from our Contributing Design Team to show us how to make Tee Pee Cards!

What you Need:

 6 1/2″ Paper Pad
Scorer & Score Board
Tape Runner
Velcro Dots
Foam Dots.

Jody Says:
“Select 3 pieces of card and score vertical, from corner to corner of all three.”

“Adhere the front of one card, to the back of another card virtually. So when the card stands, its stands on the points and comes up into a triangle shape at the bottom.”

“Do the same for the third piece, so when it’s folded together it forms the tepee shape.”

“If you wish you can line your card by using the same scoring technique, then removing one millimetre from each edge and adhere to the inside of the card.”

“You can trace the bottom triangle inside the card to cover that section.”

“Adhere a velco dot on the outside edge of the card, and on the inside flap to hold the card in place to form the tepee shape.”

“Cut a triangle shape using the same technique as above for the front of the card, but remove about 2mm from each edge to create a border. Adhere to front of card with Foam Dots”

“Decorate as desired.”
