and now she s made her way back to the farm or the cow pen i used the 3 x 3 bagatelle box i love these boxes since they are small but deep enough for a milk bottle i cut my farm themed papers to size then glued the box together once it was dry i added the papers with mod podge quick and easy and here she is happy to be out of the supply box and back on the farm thanks for your visit today cheers susan gypsy soul laser cuts used bagatelle box 3x3 ed6e posted by susan killam creative at 1 00 am no comments tagged gslc education team gypsy soul laser cuts shadow box saturday august 17 2019 edgar allan poe tunnel shadow box hello crafty friends i m here today to share a new project made with elements from the alpha stamps august kit tunnel book the kit comes with great seasonal papers and timely sunflowers but my 4x4 arch tunnel book is a little darker with an edgar allan poe theme hey i m a baltimore girl and i can t pass up a poe project opportunity the design team will show you different ways to use the tunnel i made mine into a shadow box to begin i chose the center element first this photo shows how i rigged it up so i could see the chipboard layers and plan the elements note to self put wee lights in the next tunnel book i painted all pieces with black gesso then decided to cover with papers the easiest for me was to paint the adhesive onto the tunnel panels then put that onto the paper and allow to dry i cut the centers out with a straight edge on a self healing mat see how ragged they are my fix for that is sandpaper i used two grits first was 320 to sand the paper up to the chipboard then a finer grit of 600 or higher to polish the paper and get it ready for the next step using sandpaper on your projects is a lot like using a good knife in the kitchen choose the right tool and it will do the work for you you ll only need the smallest amount of pressure and maybe more patience white core on paper makes me squint and squish my nose so i use the edge of a brush marker to color it in if you want to try this keep light contact between the paper and marker the paper will soak up only what it needs polishing the paper with the 600 grit sandpaper keeps the sanded area from soaking up too much ink so it s an important step i used the brush marker brown or black to color the edges of all the collage sheet elements when doing this make sure you always come from behind as i ve done in the photo below it s easy to fall off the edge of the element especially fussy cuts and accidentally swipe a dark brush stroke on the surface much better to have that on the back than the front here s a view of the panels ready for assembly the polka dot panel is already attached to the edgar panel the back of the book i was a little eager and didn t photograph before putting those two together there are so many great motifs throughout poe s writing here i ve included a raven heart cask skull and of course lenore all from alpha stamps collage sheets there s also a pendulum eyes premature burial and doubles oh if only i d used the 6x6 arch tunnel book back to the project at hand susan to create the space in between i used layered strips of excess chipboard to separate the panels i save all kinds of board just in case i m not a pack rat just a planner once all the panels were attached i covered the sides and back with heavy black card stock and used the same for the top and bottom thanks for your visit today you can view my complete alpha stamps supply list here cheers susan other supplies used my mind s eye paper heavy black card stock mod

gypsy soul laser cuts demo i have an atc redux to share i have a bin of leftover chipboard parts this is different from a bin of leftover parts from assembly of say a computer or a bicycle that s usually bad my parts bin holds pieces that are partially used but ultimately gently rejected for a project in this case it s an atc aceo from the sarcastic frenzy i was on a month or two ago one side was ripped off just like this one here and the other a pretty yellow design i ve been dying to do a project with birds in hats have you seen these little hats so cute so off i went it didn t go so well i wanted the hint of a musical background so i pulled out a fine clear embossing powder and musical notes stamp turned out the stamp details are way too tiny for embossing powder then i tried a larger musical stamp with a light brown embossing powder fail i went back to the drawing board or in this case the paper pad with the yellow paper instead i found this music note paper and heard a choir of angels sing it had nothing to do with my state of overtiredness and mild frustration really ok i might ve been imagining it in mere minutes i mod podge d over both sides and adhered the musical notes paper and it s coordinating reverse on each side once the papers were dry i used a straight edge to cut off the excess i used the same mod podge to attach the three elements the bird was a fiddly and wouldn t wear a hat so i gave up on that idea once those layers were dry i cleaned up the edges with sandpaper painted them with archival brilliance galaxy gold and coffee bean inks then finished with a matte varnish thanks for your visit today gypsy soul laser cuts used chunky atc blanks c33o other supplies used mme lost found sunshine 6x6 paper k co brenda walton design elements 1 8

education team gypsy soul laser cuts wednesday june 19 2019 atelier mini sewing themed album hello creative friends i have an alpha stamps project to share with you today made with gorgeous paper and a wee 4 inch chipboard album there s a feeling of nostalgia and comfort that comes from vintage sewing artifacts and ephemera i ve collected enough bits and bobs over the years to have a vintage sewing themed guest bedroom including an old singer treadle machine as a side table i was thrilled to see stamperia s atelier paper pad a beautiful nod to seamstresses everywhere i couldn t wait to work with it don t get me wrong i am not a seamstress funny story when we lived in pennsylvania my husband and i hosted an annual christmas party for a few neighbor friends there were a total of 4 couples and we did a funny gift exchange one year i made fleece pajama pants for everyone we had the weekend morning habit of wandering to someone s house for porch coffee usually in pajamas so i bought a pattern and matched the fleece designs to their personalities as best i could i sewed for months i was relieved when the last pair was finished and tickled when everyone put them on at the party needless to say i haven t made a garment again it was fun to walk out my door and see those jim jams that winter though i mostly use my sewing machine on paper now as you can see on each page of this tiny album i loved working with this memory hardware tiny chipboard album leslie our fearless alpha stamps leader knew i wanted to embellish the heck out of this paper so she searched high and low for the perfect base thanks leslie the spine is white sticky canvas with a few coats of matte varnish to give it more structure and keep from fraying i supplemented the sticky back with white glue just in case let s take a peek inside the dress form on the right is great on it s own so i only outlined it with a silver star jelly roll pen to give it a little sparkle once they can no longer be worn my husband gives me his old silk suspenders to reuse the collection of fabric shirting samples are actually very old quilt blocks that came in a large vintage sewing auction lot i won a few months ago these are my favorite pages of the whole album this is a small sampler of crochet laces i found the celluloid thread cutter in that auction box also the dress form and thread top are just a few in the atelier paper pad i wrapped brown ribbon around the waist and sewed a blue button with a lace scrap onto it a few notes on construction i painted the album edges white and added linen hinging tape between each page to give a fabric y look without adding any bulk it coordinates with the white canvas i used on the spine to help pick out a specific part of a paper design i cut a piece of acetate to fit my item in this case the front and back covers then hovered it over different designs until i find the perfect one after the outside was done i trimmed the acetate to fit the pages then set it aside for the next project there is a fair amount of hand sewing here including the large mother of pearl button closure i punched two holes in the chipboard before covering with papers and added the button at the end that message was appropriate since i poked my fingers a few times ouch the suspenders were added before the page was attached to the book i sewed the buttons on and attached the suspenders part with a zig zag stitch mirroring the one on the fabric the dress form charm dangles on a sturdy eye pin from the jewelry section of a craft store i used cream seam binding for the closure the other end is glued between the inside back cover paper and the chipboard thanks for your visit today a complete alpha stamps supply list for this project can be found here cheers
