Mini book

Hello once again.  Today I have a fun book I made using the new Rosette Provisions Journal.  Thank you so much for the download on this journal Daisy.  It is another great one!!! 

This was a fun book to make, and really easy too.  A friend sent me this link, and I thought this would be an easy one to try for my first mini book.  Here is the deal thou, my paper cutter is in a bad way. I need a new blade for it. So, I tried something different that I recently learned.  I saved my journal pages in my Cameo Software, then I created all the right sizes for the mats and papers and use my machine to cut everything out.  Print and cut is great, and made this book really fast.  

Once I had to book all put together, I had to embellish it.  It needed to be simple, yet I wanted it to be elegant.  It also needed to be mostly flat for folding.   I was not the best at accomplishing this last part as you can see from the photos.  The papers have some great colors in them, which gave me the opportunity to use flowers I don't normally use.  

I hope you like my book!

Vintage Tag ~ Tsunami Rose Designs

Hello Everyone,

Today I have a tag to share with you.  This is my first time of making a Vintage Tag of this type.  I was so excited to try it.  I started with a picture of one of the Vintage Ladies from Tsunami Rose Collection.  I sized it a little larger as my tag is bigger than normal.  The tag is used to hold six flowers that I made for a flower swap.

I sized my tag according to the amount of lace I wanted to use at the bottom of the tag.  Because I am thrifty, I didn't want to cut the lace in the middle of the scallop, so I measured accordingly. Besides, cutting in the middle would just look bad, right? I used a nice vintage paper, which in the end you can't see anyway, but it is a nice thick card stock to help support the flowers I made for the swap.

I carefully glued the ivory lace down and then added the vintage lady over the top of the lace.  I then topped the vintage lady with the beautiful mulberry flowers to accent the colors in the background paper.   The tag looked rather plain, so I decided to add a bow in the top right hand corner.  I added tails around and down the left side and just down the right.  I use my hot glue gun to glue in place.  I toyed with the idea of adding a vintage charm to the bow, but decided against it as I thought it might distract from the over all look.

For my first time, I am very pleased with the results.  I hope you like it!

Though it is hard to tell it in the photograph, there are additions of  color on the paper behind the vintage lady that almost match perfectly to the paper I used.  You can see just a hint of the paper under the image.  

LackLuster Shadow Box

Here I am once again sharing a project with you from Tsunami Rose Designs.  I have to warn you thou, I am so far out of my comfort zone on this project, proceed with caution.  *smile* 

This week, I decided I wanted to create a shadow box.  Well, something sort of like one anyways. I have had this old Prima flower box for a year or more and have always wanted to create something with it.  So, when the opportunity arose, I decided to try my luck. 

For this project, I used the Lackluster Printable Journal. 

For the background, I took one of the papers and opened it up in Adobe Photoshop, I then sized it to an 8 x 11.5 size so I could trim it down to the size of the inside of the box.  I so love anything that has flowers on it and most all of Tsunami Rose Printable Journals have some kind of flowers on them.  



Once I had the paper  cut to size, I inked the edges so they were all black.  I really like how the one side of this paper looks like lace or beads, and I was very careful to not lose that look when I trimmed and inked. 

I then added the large diamond flourish, and began to add my homemade flowers.  I have really taken a liking to making my own flowers.  I used to think they were to hard to do.  They really aren't, they are just time consuming, and I burn my finger tips often with the hot  glue gun.  *grin*   The flowers around the flourish are simple rolled roses with ink tips. All of my flowers are also made from one of the pages from the journal.  

In the other corner, I added a nifty pocket envelope and a journal card.  I also added a beautiful ticket. Again, everything here has flowers on them.  I topped the corner off by adding three more hand made roses.  This time, I chose not to ink the edges.  Now that they are finished, I am regretting that decision.  I chose not to mostly because I could not decide what color I should use, black seemed to dark, while pink seemed to light.  One of the three, however, I did add a touch of Tattered Angel spray to give it a tiny bit of sparkle. 

All in all, for my first attempt, I am pleased with the outcome.  However, I reserve the right to add elements or make changes.  * smile*

Tsunami Rose Designs ~ Step Card

Good Morning Everyone, 

Today I have a great card to share with you.  I have created a step card using papers Daisy created at Tsunami Rose Design.  I have always loved her papers, and find so many wonderful uses for them.  You need to make sure you stop in and visit and look at all of her wonderful papers and her awesome printable journals. 

For this step card, I am using pages from the Petticoat Ephemera journal. and the Petticoat Add on Pages.   You can view the entire shop here. 

I used a template from the Silhouette store to make the card base.  You can find templates all over the internet, but I wanted my card to be a little larger, so I found one and then enlarged it.  Honestly, this way I didn't have to figure out the new score and cut lines.  I don't call it lazy, I call it efficient. Right?   

For the base, I then needed to make the paper just a little larger, so of course, like I always do, I put it into Photoshop and printed it out as a full letter size sheet.  

The pages in this journal are perfect for a step card.  Perfect graphics, perfect sentiments, perfect colors.  Simply print, trim and adhere to where you want them on your card.  

This Bingo card is simply stunning and was perfect for the step card.  A beautiful young lady who is happy with who she is.   She chose happiness and to be herself.  

To finish off my step card, I needed some bling of course, but not to much as it would distract from the natural beauty of the images and all cards need roses. So, again, I used a file from the Silhouette Store and made it much smaller to make the rolled roses.  Aft I cut out the flowers, I lightly inked them in pink to highlight the pink colors in the paper.  

You won't hear me say this often about my cards, but this one, I really love how it turned out.  I like msot all of my cards, but some, let's face it, I like more than others.  This one fits that bill. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I hope I have inspired you shop at the store and create something beautiful yourself.

Hello, thanks for stopping in today for the Pinque Peacock blog hop.  I know you will find many great projects and inspiration to create something great yourself. 

For today's card, I used some printable papers from Tsunami Rose Designs.  I thought this paper matched perfectly with the wonderful splendid swirl flower I am using.  The gold matches almost identical.  And what splendid swirl flower would be complete without one of the favorites at the Pinque Peacock store, the beaded stick pin.  I know it is one of my favorites, and I bet it would be yours as well.  You must try them.  They sure add some elegance to any project. 

The stamped sentiment used is from "A Mother's Love" by Close To My Heart.  It is a hostess set.  I thought it fit perfectly for this hop.   I didn't leave much room for a sentiment, with the size of the flower, so I was thankful for the smaller sentiment with this set.  

The rest of the blog hop line up is found below.  However, your next crafty stop will be Mary's blog.

Isn't She Lovely

Hello Everyone!  Check out this fun project I have started for Tsunami Rose Designs.   I simply love the papers that Daisy designs.  Unfortunately, I don't have near the time I used to, so I don't get to design with them much anymore. 

I am in the process of making a hanging photo album where I will add pictures of my grand children.  Our newest grand baby, is such a little doll, but aren't they all? 

I don't have the wall room for hanging a lot of pictures, and when you rent, they frown upon you putting many holes in the walls anyway. So, I thought this would be a fun way to display their pictures for everyone to see. 

This is just one page, and for obvious reasons, I am not adding a picture here of the little beauty. 

I used one of the sentiments included with the journal, then added some pink and ivory roses and ivory colored pearls to add just a little extra pop.

I tried something different today with the corners of my paper.  I wanted an elegant design on the corners.  However, silly me, secured the two sheets of paper together before using the paper punch.  While it worked, it was quite the task getting the two cut at the same time.  And, I did not get near the effect I was hopping to get. 

For this hanging album page, I used the digital kit Petticoat Ephemera by Tsunami Rose Designs.  This is fabulous paper, with so many possibilities.  What I really like about the kits here, are the way she incorporates so much along with the papers.  Such as the sweet sentiments, pockets, envelopes, and even tags.

If you have not yet checked out the store, you need to do so right away.  You will find many beautiful creations.

Celebrate The Season With Tsunami Rose Designs

 

 

 

Do you ever have one of those days when working on a card, and nothing goes right?  I had a great idea in my head using the gorgeous Christmas Gift Journal paper and I am so disappointed that I was unable to pull off what I was trying to do.  I just love the vintage sled and the wonderful holy on the sled.  I tried to bring the holy to life with some stickles. (I should have known better).  I was however a little more successful highlighting the flourish in the sentiment with some sparkle stickles.  For those who know my crafting style, know that I don't like glitter, and I do not have a great deal of success with stickles.

 

Here is what I was trying to accomplish today . . .

Gift Card Holder using Tsunami Rose Printable Papers

Today I am showing you a great fast and easy project.  With the holiday season quickly approaching we are all looking for something fast and easy to make for friends and family.  While looking at the fabulous Polished lackluster journal papers, I saw so many great projects. Then I realized, I have quite a few "hard to buy" for friends and family members, and the light bulb went off.  Using the coin envelope , I carefully cut it out and scored it where needed.  Then turned it over and added some bling to make it pop and finished it off with black and crème roses.  The sentiment "Confidence is Beautiful" fits a friend to a T.  Stick a gift card inside and you have a perfect gift.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spooky Halloween Card

Hello and welcome back to my blog.  I appreciate your support and always enjoy reading your comments, 

Today I have a great card to show you.  This card is made using the Witches Brew Printable Journal by Tsunami Rose Designs.  Daisy really creates some of the best printable papers around.  I can guarantee you will love the papers as much as I do.

I used the skeleton page as my back ground page.  After I trimmed my paper to a specific size, I inked the edges using Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  I then mounted that to black card stock for add support. 

I used the Tim Holtz Vintage Doily cut out of cream paper, and again I used the Vintage Photo Distress Ink to add some color to the doily.  

I used one of the skeleton tags and trimmed it to size, (just a wee bit smaller than the doily) I inked the edges of the tag to match the background paper.  Again, I mounted the tag on black card stock for stability. 

I completed my greeting card by adding a inked sentiment, mounted on black card stock and two gray roses that have been tipped with some black ink. I was worried about adding the roses. I worried they would distract from the paper or the sentiment.

 



I am not big into creepy or spooky Halloween Cards, but I do like how this one turned out.  It is a little creepy, but not to bad.  At least it does not have spiders on it.

Halloween Easel Card Using Tsunami Rose Designs Witches Brew

Today is my day to post on the Tsunami Rose Designs blog.  We are tasked with creating our project using the new Witches Brew Printable Journal.  This is a great journal, and there are so many things that you can do with this journal. the opportunities are wide open to only your imagination.

Today I made an easel card.  This is just the second card I have made, so I am sure there is much more I can do with this card, I will keep working on my easel cards, but at least this is a start, right?

I used one page of the Witches Brew Journal on the face of my card.  However, I don't like to waste paper, so I used the excess on the bottom on my card as well.  I layered the journal paper on black first, then onto cream.  I used a black card base, so I felt this cream color was a good choice to best highlight the vibrant colors off the Halloween paper.

I really struggled with putting together this card and had to have a little extra help from a couple of friends.   I was not sure what elements to add to enhance the beauty of this paper. 

I opted for a strip of burlap topped with a beautiful lollipop black flower accented with a pearl.  the flower has some fringe ribbon in the middle. (I am sorry, but this does not show up well in the picture)

To complete the bottom part of the card, I used the remainder of journal paper from the card front so they would match.  I also used a portion of a tag from the journal paper that I trimmed down and layered.

It is plain and simple, but, if you know me, you know that is how I roll.  I am a plain and simple type girl.

Thanks for visiting my blog today, make sure you take advantage of the links below for your opportunity to get the Witches Brew Journal.
