stickles glitter to them if you want to add extra dimension now here is some really awesome news too webster s pages now offers digital images of their papers and embellishments how cool is that here s a link to their new digital motifs websters digital images here is a second l o i made using the limited edition kit this kit is just filled to the brim with gorgeous prima blooms and bling the large bloom is another of those soft vintage feeling blooms that i love so much in this kit but there are so many more blooms to use along with them so if you are a person who loves to use blooms on their pages this one is for you and remember you are not having to purchase any special add on kits to make up these l o s everything is included in these kits here are some close up pic s of the kit goodies used on this page i just love the websters pages letter stickers too they allow you to do titles that are a little bit longer than usual we took this picture a few weeks ago when we went on a late fall walk the last time i had a picture taken on this rock with my girls i did a l o about true beauty and i shared the words from audrey hepburn about beauty this time i thought i would use humour in sharing advice with the girls there was a girl at school that was making unkind comments to chloe and i was thinking on how to deal with it so i went with this advice before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes that way when you do criticize them you are a mile away and you have their shoes i had to giggle when i read that quote sometimes it s better to face unkindness with humour right here is a 3rd l o i made with the limited edition kit and here are a few close ups pam always seems to find such unique and pretty accents for her kits check out this cute crystal bloom i made up a 4rth l o for this kit there are so many papers and goodies in this kit that you ll find you can make many more than that there are 2 of each of the 2 sided patterned papers allowing you lots of options for your layouts i so much loved the prima fabric blooms in this kit that i had to try out and see if i could make one myself using some cardstock and a length of twill i thought it came out pretty good to make the bloom i simply traced the original bloom on a piece of pink cardstock to get the basic design then i cut a bunch of 5 inch strips of natural colour twill and wound them into a rope and wound them again into a spiral i put a dab of glue down on the cardstock cut out and glued down each spiral i added an adhesive pearl to the center of each spiral and for the center of the bloom i made up a pink carstock bloom using my quilled roses technique the small pink roses on this page were also made using the quilled roses technique but only using 4 petals i made the pink pearly flourish using the backing of the prima pearl flourish i had already used on another page and put dots of pink pearly dimensional paint into the faint outlined dots then cut out the flourish and adhered it to the page here are some close up pic s i also got to work with the album kit this month this one featured beautiful papers from both websters pages and fancy pants designs we went on a little family walk a couple weeks back and on this walk we came upon this rock with a quote from winnie the pooh engraved in it thus the name of the l o hidden treasures there is a really cute collection of ornate brads in this kit including these fun pearl brads so i used a few of these to create a corset design for my l o i also played a bit with some stamping and heat embossing on the two panels of the corset design here are some close ups a second l o i made for the album kit i went in a more masculine direction i took this photo of my dear husband on our walk with our pup i used the a piece of the cardboard box my kit came in to make up this page i simply peeled off the top layer of paper from the cardboard exposing the corrugation underneath i sprayed with a little bit of gold and bronze glimmer mists and dry brushes some white paint onto it to make the bull rush embellishment along the right side of the photo i cut out some carstock paper shapes inked the edges and pasted onto the page i finished it all off with some of the cute fancy pants rub on s also included in the kit here is a close up shot of the embellishment i made from carstock for this l o just some simple cutting and pasting i did a 3rd l o for the album kit another pic taken on our autumn walk of my girls and i i cute the loopy border using a martha stewart punch sent to me by my dear friend liz qualman the punch comes with a separate corner punch that allows you to make perfect corners tip i made the blooms on this page from a variety of patterned papers in this kit using a technique one of the members julia at mcs shared with us layered blooms i changed up the technique slightly by cutting a more wavey edge rather than circles on the paper layers and rather than using the eraser end of a pencil to create the ruffled look i used the rounded ear of my scissors cupped the piece of cut paper in my palm and gently pressed the ear of the scissor into my palm and the paper turning the scissor to create a shallow cup out of the paper pieces i had meant to use some white puffy paint to create a snowy look to the blooms and then just couldn t find where the girls had put it so i just used some white pearl paint on the edges of the blooms instead here is a close up picture i only worked with 2 of the kits this months but there is so much more to see what the design team did with the december main kit and creative kit checkout this link design team gallery we also had two new guest designers this month many of you know the talented scrapbooker jackie anderson and tara orr they

me liz qualman got the cover of the magazine congrats liz thanks for stopping by gabrielle xxx posted by gabrielle pollacco at 5 26 pm 20 comments sunday november 15 2009 kanzashi bloom tutorial fun handmade fabric blooms i ve been loving some of the fabric blooms i ve seen coming out by my favourite manufacturers and thought i would show everyone how to make some wonderful blooms made from fabric scraps or ribbon pieces kanzashi blooms are an ancient technique used by the geisha girls in japan they would use left over scraps from their beautiful outfits to make these pretty fabric flowers for their hair and clothing above are some samples of blooms i made up using scraps of fabric and some cut ribbon pieces round petal technique see white bloom above step 1 cut a square of fabric in the size you need for your project i like to use pieces in sizes of 1 square up to 3 square for scrapbook pages step 2 fold your square in half diagonally leaving the good side of the fabric on the outside bad side inside the fold step 3 with fold at the top of the triangle bring down point a to point b step 4 now do the same for the right side bring down right side to meet in the middle then flip the project over you will have the folded edge at the top of the project step 5 keeping the folded edges at the top and raw edges at the bottom fold in the right and left points to meet in the middle step 6 now bring both edges together again essentially folding your project in half your finished petal will be the back edge of this fold you will see 3 folded edge this is the front of the petal step 7 as mentioned above the front of the petal is the edge with the 3 folds you will round out the top of the petal to give it it s shape secure each petal with a pin or with a couple of small stitches i prefer to use a couple of small stitches as it s easier to put the bloom together later if you re not fiddling with the extra pins step 8 trim away extra fabric below your stitch or pin finishing your bloom step 9 with a need and thread string together all of the petals and tie off creating a ring the less petals you use for your blooms the more fiddling it may take to create your circle of petals i used 7 petals to make up the white bloom with the pearl centers add pearl or crystal beeds metal pieces crystal stickers flower stamens buttons whatever you like for centers to your blooms here is a finished picture of a rounded petal bloom basic pointed tip kanzashi bloom tutorial step 1 cut out several square pieces of fabric or ribbon i used 6 pieces of 2 fabric for the above bloom step 2 fold fabric in half diagonally good side of fabric on the outside step 3 with fold at the top of the triangle fold in half again bringing left side point to right side point step 4 you will now have 2 folds at the top bring down the right point to the bottom do the same with the other point except in the opposite direction step 5 you will now have 2 folded edges on the right side again bring this edge to the main middle fold basically folding the flap in half do the same for the opposite side step 6 this is your completed pointed petal it will look like the photo below on one side it can be used like this for pointed petals this also works very well for leaves finish off by securing with a couple stitched or a pin trim as shown in the diagrams for the rounded petal technique step 7 if you flip this petal over you will get a ruffled looking petal as show in the photo below step 8 put petals together using the instructions above in the rounded petals technique the example you see at the top of this tutorial shows a flower made using the backside of the pointed leaf below is a sample of a flower i made using the front side of the pointed petal technique the orange petals i layered a smaller bloom made with the rounded petal design on top of it so if you have some pretty fabric scraps you ve been saving or some wonderful ribbon give this technique a go the above bloom was made using sheer organza ribbons it s really quite easy to do once you ve given the technique a try my 11 year old daughter made this wine colour bloom using some sheer ribbon experiment with different types of fabric i ve seen this done with cotton organza silk satin linen and even with felted wool each giving a different effect during the holiday season there are so many shimmery velvety pretty ribbons out there to experiment with use on your scrapbook pages or even attach to hair combs or clips above all have fun with it gabrielle xxx posted by gabrielle pollacco at
