Crafteezee March Challenge

Hello, it's the first of March and that means today starts a new challenge at 

the Crafteezee blog. This month the theme is "Vintage".

I created this tag for inspiration.

The base for this tag are tea dyed papers. 

I dye these myself. It was the first time I aged some regular printing paper by tea dyeing and oven baking. It was so much fun to do and I love the vintage look.

There are lots of video tutorials available on You tube if you also want to try it.

For decoration and embellishing I used Mintay papers, tulle, roses and Tim Holtz ephemera.

All products are listed below.

Mintay Dear Diary

Pleated Ruffle Tulle Trim

Flatbacked Pearl-String

Fantasy Twin Twins

Open Roses 15mm pale peach

Open Roses LIGHT MOCHA

Tea dye paper

Tim Holtz Idea-ology ephemera

Crafteezee December Challenge - gift

Hi crafty friends, today starts a new challenge over at the Crafteezee blog. The theme is gift.
What better challenge for this festive month! For this occasion I made these candy cane gift treat envelopes.

They are very easy to make. I prepared a photo tutorial for you.
I made these wrappers with the 6x6 paperpad Christmas Stories from Mintay.

First step is to score the paper at 1,5 inch, 3 inch and 4,5 inch. Use the bonefolder to flatten the folds.

Then you turn the paper to what's going to be the inside and fold the upper right corner to the scoreline. Not all the way to the scoreline.

Then you take the upper left corner and fold this to the second scoreline.

and the left bottom corner to the first line.

Next step is to fold the right flap to the second scoreline. Make sure all the folds are neat and clean.

Then you fold the left part as on the photo and turn the project around.

Now all you have to do is put some glue on the triangle part and glue this to the back.

Voila, you've created a mini pouch to put in Christmas Candy Canes but you can also use them for pencils, pens or chopsticks.

I've decorated with cut outs from the Mintay paperpad and also made two paper rosettes.

Crafteezee challenge - anything but a card

Hello friends, it's time for a new challenge over at Crafteezee. The theme this month is anything but a card. I've created a travel keepsake box using the Wanderlust Papers from Mintay.

I started by cutting 3 pieces of cardboard and gluing on the paper.
You have to keep a few mm distance between the pieces.

Here is how you glue the paper. With a bonefolder you smoothen the edges.

Then you glue on the inner piece and make a box for the inside.
The measurements of the box are about half a centimeter smaller then the cover.

 Here you can see that the inside of the keepsake box is decorated also.

I used heavy metal brads to hold the chord.

I embellished the front of the box with images from the Wanderlust collection and printed a suitable sentiment.

More wonderful projects on the Crafteezee blog.

Guest Designer at Saratov Scrap

Hi, today I'm sharing a card I've made for this months challenge at saratov scrap Russia.
I was in the top 3 at a previous saratov scrap challenge  and was invited to be a guest designer.

Here is the card I've made for this months challenge at Saratov Scrap.

The inspiration for the challenge is a moodboard.

 

I was inspired by the rosette, the colors and the bird.

It was the first time I made a rosette, it was easy to do and it makes a wonderful accent on the card. The paper I used is from Mintay Birdsong. And of course I made all the flowers on the card myself using foamiran.

If you would like to join in the challenge please click on the link. Don't let the Russian language scare you, I don't speak a word Russian and luckily there is Google translate.

Wedding card

Mint is one of my favorite colors. One of my walls in my craft room is mint (and perfect for photo backgrounds). I've made a wedding card in mint, pink and gold, a perfect combination of colors.

All the flowers you see on this card are handmade using foamiran and stamens from 14 craft bar. The heartshaped chipboard is also from 14 craft bar shop.
For the pink flower I used organza foam and colored it with oil pastels.
The gold flowers are made with white 0.8 foamiran and painted with gold paint.
I used different flowers dies I have in my stash.

The paper I used is from Mintay papers called Birdsong. It has mint, pink and gold in it.

There are also applique elements on this card, which are from the lovely shop of Allmacraft, one of my favorite webshops.

I'm entering this card in these challenges:
