Faux File Folder Mini

Here is my Mini I made from the tutorial from Angelwings14100 on youtube. Here is a link to the videos. I used BoBunny paper from the  Hello Sunshine line 6x6 pad. This was a very fun and quick mini that can be made in about 2 days or 1 if you are really fast. It does need a t least a 36 count pad of paper and about 5 sheets of 12x12 Cardstock.

Altered Ticket Swap - Closed

Okay I have seen many many ticket swaps and thought it would be fun to host one. So let's get out our creative sparks and make some wonderful ticket strips. You can either use Tim Holtz Ticket strip die, electronic die cut machine such as a Silhouette Cameo or you can make your own very easily. All you need is paper, scoreboard, paper piercer and a hole puncher. Basic scrapbook supplies right? Here is a simple video on how to make your own so do not feel you need a die or machine to create some.
If you are clueless as to what altered tickets are check Pinterest http://pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=altered%20tickets for an idea as to what has been done





So here are the rules for the Swap

1. The ticket strips should have at least 5 tickets long, and each ticket should measure 1"x2" So your total strip should measure 1"x10" You will make 1  ticket strip per person in the group.
2. You can use any type of paper, Chipboard, grunge board, file folder. Make sure it is sturdy for a project.
3. No limits on how you alter them. Please put in as much effort as you would want from the others. Be Creative and have fun
4. Present your tickets creatively. Such as a decorated envelope or clear bag with your name and  info for others to either follow you on a blog or youtube or ustream or contact you if you wish to share that info.
5. One of the most important rules, return shipping. You must include return shipping cost and preferred box or envelope. Be aware that some may include 3-D items on their tickets for you and you will not want these to get smashed in the machine. To calculate cost, take how much it cost you to send to me and add $1 to that in case you have increased weight when they come back to you. I have paypal if you choose to pay your shipping that way. Please include a note that is how you choose to pay your shipping. TAKE NOTE, IF YOU DO NOT PAY FOR YOUR SHIPPING YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR SWAP BACK!!
6. Due date is Saturday, June 29th. Please be respectful to those who get theirs in on time and also get yours in by the due date. I will only allow 3 business days for stragglers. If your's are not received in that allowance time they will be returned to you. I know life happens sometime so please contact me if you have anything come up that you cannot follow through or will be late. I rather you tell me than nothing at all.

Here is my info for you to contact me in case of questions.  momof30728@hotmail.com

Altered Bottle

 

 



Here are some altered bottles I did. I got the idea from Heidi Bound. Here is her blog that you can check out. Gotham city stampers I received the bottle from a friend. I decoupaged various themed paper with a gel medium. Once dried I distressed it with some of Tim Holt's distress inks. I cut an eiffel tower die from my machine and adhered it to the bottle. I also added various flowers that i got from the floral section of my craft store, aged them with Distres ink also. I also decided to add Mica flakes to my tower. I added various flowers and other embellishments. Try on and see what you come out with.

Wood and Clay Tiles

 

 

 

This is the clay tile I did in the video. I actually added some blingage and just used glossy accents.

Christmas is getting close and I wanted to start the season off with a handmade Ornament Swap. Please read the entire rules and please follow through. If you have no idea what to make, you can check the Pinterest boards. If you can't get in there I can send you an invite.

1. It must be handmade. you may use a bought item as long as it is hand altered. Please refrain from using large items such as the ball ornaments as those require bigger packaging and  more postage.

2. Materials used - Ornaments can be made from paper, Chipboard, acrylic, tulle, ribbon ect ect ect. Just try not to make it too bulky. Remember these have to go to other participants.

3. Packaging, Please package the ornaments and send them to me with care. Please make sure you label who the ornament is from and any info you wish to give.  I am not responsible if they are broken during delivery. Also include return packaging if you are not using a box. I can get priority boxes so if you need me to use that please indicate that. (Remember you are receiving ornaments back in different sizes so please take that into consideration)

4. Postage- Please send return postage and a address label with your ornaments. Depending how many groups you join depends how much to send. If you want them to be sent Priority please send the correct amount depending on the size. I do have a paypal if you would like to send me money that way. Notify me at my email if you wish to do so. momof30728@hotmail.com IF YOU DO  NOT SEND POSTAGE I WILL NOT RETURN YOUR ORNAMENTS UNTIL IT IS PAID!!!!!

5. Please follow through- FLAKERS ARE NOT TOLERATED. If life happens please let me know. I rather you tell me then to leave me hanging.

Look what I am making tomorrow!!

It is a decorated Felt Top hat. I saw these at Joanns for $20 and it was onsale for $10, however I think my total cost would be about $5, I already had most of the supplies here in my stash. The hat I will be making tomorrow will be different.

So I will be making this on my ustream show tomorrow Saturday  October 6th at 1pm central time on my channel. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/all-things-creative1

Here is a list of materials you will need

Felt- any color or pattern

Trim- ribbon, sequins, beads ect ect ect, possibilities are endless)

Feathers  any feathers will work.

Embellishment - I used some of the rhinestone picks from the bridal section here. I will also make some felt flowers.

Glitter Glue

Hot Glue Gun and sticks

Scissors

Circle dies and or template- I used Spellbinders S4-114 I also cut a template about 4 1/2" circle for my brim.

Stuffing_ I will just use a plastic bag from walmart to stuff it

Headband or a spring clip

Optional - cereal box weight chipboard to keep the brim sturdy, can cut to size of brim. Will explain in the ustream.



If YOu want to precut your felt for the hat here is what I used.

1- 3"x9" strip of felt
1 - 3 3/4" circle largest in the die set
1- 3 1/4" circle 2nd largest in the set
1 4 1/2" circle, I cut this myself cause I didn't have a die for it

Dragon Canvas

Here is the canvas I did for Boni Grabusky for a swap we participated in. It is 5x7. I took a clip art from the internet and embellished it. Boni loves Dragons and butterflies. The Dragon is glossy accented to pop it out.
