Copics Meet Close To My Heart

I am so excited to share this post with you as I get to tell you all about what I am doing in my life right now..... you know besides working and all the other things us ladies do! I have been taking a Copic Basic Coloring class AND I am now a Close To My Heart Consultant! I just could not pass up the March sign up special so I get to share my passion with others once again.

So while waiting in my kitchen while my carpet was being cleaned I practiced my coloring an used a few of my Close To My Heart Stamps that I had been wanting to try to make a couple of little note cards. Before I was cornered in the kitchen I grabbed the stamp sets and some scrap papers and went to work.  Coloring does not come easy to me so I do need plenty of practice.

This is the stamped image I used and if I remember correctly it was a gift from order a certain amount of product. As I haven't received my kit I need to use what I already have and this didn't have a set name on it. I thought it would be great for spring. 

Here is a close up of the colored stamp and as you can see I do need practice, but I am getting better! LOL

These are the colors I used.... the most I have used on any project I have done to date.... Can't wait for Melissa and Kristie (my instructors) to see how gutsy I am getting!

My pink papers are from Close To My Heart and are scraps from a layout from last year.... don't you just love using up your scraps? This card is a 3x3" square.

Here is the completed card.

And the inside of the card... love the layered inside.

Now for the next three cards I used left over papers once again but they were just regular card stock and DCWV scraps. The explore nature cards were 3 1/2" square and another CTMH set, I think that were called Love Bugs.

And here is what I see when I look up... all the chairs and my scrapping bags that are ready to be moved back into the dining room. Oh I guess I should also share with you that over the next few weeks I am under construction. Hubby is remodeling my scrap room so I have stuff all over and it is very difficult to get any projects done so please bear with me as I make it through this. I will try to keep the posting going every Saturday, even if they are easy projects.

Well I hope you enjoyed today's post and do come and check out my online Close To My Heart site... the button is right on my blog or you can click HERE. You will love the product be it scrapping, card making, stamping, or paper crafts as the quality and selection is phenomenal.

Cup Cake ....

..Wrapper Flowers :)

Ahh my mouth watered there for a moment too when I said cup cake .
Hello - This is Pam fromPapillon Digital Designs & The Bug Bytes today as a designer on She's a Sassylady. Thanks Sheila for having me on in your lovely design team.
I had recently been to a scrap meet where we each added a few items to a goody bag. I made some flowers and one type was cupcake flowers. They are very simple to put together and make a lovely embellishment on a card.
Here are some

I have used 1 regular cupcake wrapper and 2 mini wrappers to make these flowers. You can use the white ones (2nd flower) and ink the edges or use decorative wrappers (1st one) to make the flowers.

Here are pictures of the various steps in the process.

I have used sharpie to show where to cut but you can eyeball and cut.
Fold the wrappers into quarters as they are easy to cut and saves you time too. Also you can cut the circumference to layer well

As you can see above I had to cut down the large one and 1 mini so that they can progressively stack together nicely

You have to cut the line almost to center. Do not cut completely or you will be left with strips

Since you have folded in quarters you have to cut the side (on one side you have to cut once and on the other twice in each slit as shown in the picture above and below)

Then cut the lines. You can leave it like that but I like to kind of round off the petals so

Opened up they look like this

After you cut all the 3 you can ink them if you want and then stack them and add a brad or decorative button to the center..

Here a simple and fast card I made with the flower. I have used ric rac, candi dots (brad like dots without the pin portion) and 1 small cake doily which I cut apart to use on front and the inside

Aren't they easy to make? Can't wait to see you make  and decorate them.

Thanks for reading this post and thank you sheila for having me here today.

A VICTORIAN TEA BOX AND CARD GIFT SET

Hello, everyone!!!  This is Audrey and, wow, it feels amazing to be back at Sheila's with a DT project!!!  I really missed being here and YOU during my slight absence... LOL!  As always, thank you Sheila for having me.

I have an easy project today of a victorian tea box and card gift set:

Here are close-ups of the front and top of the box:

Okay, sit back and relax because although really easy, this is a bit picture heavy!  To begin I assembled the materials needed for the embellishments and put them together.  If you make this box, you'll probably use your own imagination to adorn yours so I won't take you step-by-step of what I did but give you the general idea and description of what I did for my embellies.  You can refer to the pictures above in relation to the embellishments described below.  It may help to click to enlarge the pictures.  Here we go:

For the spoon on my box, I painted a plain plastic spoon with several coats of Gesso (let dry between coats), added a sticker, and a bow. (At the last minute, before adding the sticker and bow, I added a coat of Distress Crackle Paint -- loved the effect!  However, if you use crackle paint, you'll have to spray it with an acrylic spray to keep the crackle from falling away from the spoon):

For the frame adornment, I painted a tin lid with Gesso (if you visit me, you'll remember a recent project I did and told you to save those biscuit/juice lids).  While the paint on the lid was drying, I found an image on the internet, inserted it into WordPerfect to add the words "TEA TIME", then printed it out, then cut it out to fit and glue inside the lid.  To hide the raw inside edges of the lid, I added beads around the graphic; I finished by adding roses along the edge of the tin to complement the sticker on the spoon:      

The teapot on the top of the box, I hand-traced and cut it out; added another sticker, painted a light coat of glue over the image and sprinkled it with a fine transparent glitter:

For the panel on the front of the box, I cut and glued 3 squares together starting with the largest at the bottom:  4.75" x 4.75",  4.50" x 4.50", and 4.25" x 4.25"; the lace was glued around the box lid.

Once my embellies were completed, I put them aside and started the box.  To make the box bottom I used a 9" x 12" sheet of cardstock, and a 3-1/8" x 6" sheet of cardstock for the lid. Placing the 9" x 12" cardstock on the scoreboard, with the 12" side across the top of the board,  I scored at 5" and 7":

Turning the paper around so that the 9" side would be at the top across the scoreboard, I scored at 2" and 7":

To assemble the box bottom I cut, up to the center lines only, the 5" and 7" score lines to create the tabs.  It'll look like this (I like to trim to taper my tabs but it's optional):

Before gluing the box together, I bone-folded along every fold line then turned the tabs into the inside of the box, added glue to the backs of the tabs and glued them in place to the back of the box by lifting the back of the box up into position.  Like this:

To finish the box bottom, I simply glued the bottom outer tabs to side tabs on the other side of the bottom panel by lifting the entire panel up to meet the the top side of the box.  (I think you all have put together enough boxes... lol).

Okay, for the box lid, I scored 1/2" on all four sides.  I cut a slit down the middle of each corner square at the scorelines to create the tabs; like this:

On all four corners I cut out a triangular piece of each tab along the cuts.  It looked like this:

I, again, bone-folded along all the fold lines and glued the corner triangular tabs to the inside corresponding corners to complete the box.  Here it is -- the lid and bottom:

All I had left to do was add my embellishments and make the card!!!  Ohhh, of course, I did highlight with with some Stickles... lol!!!

This was a fun and fast box project to do, and I hope you like it!  If you have any questions/comments concerning this project, please feel free to click on my name at the beginning of this post.  You'll be directed to my blog where you can then post your information.
