ask me the kit includes the base as well as 6 tags the tags are all roughly 4 x 8 and the box has a generous amount of room so embellishments weren t a concern there s even an extra tag set available if you want to fill it up i painted the inside black and covered the outside with renaissance paper and black acrylic paint the tags were covered with background paper using mod podge the edges were sanded and then inked with brown marker and a foam pad each tag was assembled with scraps of g45 and embellishments i used a small cut of gears from the steampunk frame to enhance the steampunk spells tag visible in the top photo i used a mix of browns and black embossing powders on the gears thanks for your visit today cheers susan gypsy soul laser cuts used tags in a box display bd10a steampunk

apothecary cabinet made with one of the gypsy soul laser cuts fabulous hinged boxes come see the treasures inside this apothecary cabinet comes with a shelf for the center middle and a drawer for the center bottom i have left both of these out i glued the pieces together with white craft glue and allowed to dry i wanted the hinge holes set before i painted or papered haven t decided which way to go yet i laid the hinges in place marked the brad holes with a pencil then used a tool to poke the holes i attached them to make sure the cabinet doors hung evenly then removed for later use i measured the harlequin paper for the back center and painted all sides with black acrylic paint in this next photo i have attached the back harlequin paper and the door front side papers this allowed me to attach the hinges permanently now that it stands i gathered bits and started the inside design during this i realized i wanted to paper the insides the papers are cut and scored but i added front door handle holes first i didn t end up using the handles but was able to disguise the holes on the front with black dresden trim in this photo i ve added the inside papers with mod podge after that dried i coated all sides with matte varnish time to fill the shelves front the label on the tall bottle is a rub on i carefully dabbed wet glue all over the glass bottle for a frosted effect

tuesday june 12 2018 civic duty shadow box hello crafty friends i have a civic minded shadow box with you while we were clearing out the attic the other day husband found a 70s era patch that set the tone for this weeks project using the arch top cabinet w doors and feet really great feet from gypsy soul laser cuts you ll see the patch at the bottom of the post for now let me walk you through my construction remember my crafty education team motto i make the mistakes so you don t have to here all the parts laid out the dimensions when finished are 4 x 1 1 2 x 6 1 2 10 16cm x 3 81cm x 16 51cm the first thing i did was to outline the body on my chosen paper i like to score corners rather than cut separate panels but you can do that too if you do one big piece like mine leave extra on the side flaps to account for the corners see how there s more on the left edge and barely more on the right that s what i mean and what you see here was barely enough while it s flat outline the base arches moving the left and right panels out a little first accounting for that scored corner set this aside and do the same for the doors and front panel i picked out door knobs and poked a hole in the first door to match the second door i laid the first onto the second and marked where the hole needed to be these doors are marked front and back in pencil and even though you can t really see there are two doors here they are stacked front to back to back to front it doesn t matter as much at this stage but if paper or paint had already applied i can guarantee i would have something upside down shrug i now have all my outer papers cut notice i ve penciled in the base arches but not cut i glued the top and bottom then the sides and let it sit for a while score the paper where you think the corners are this sounds scary but you can score a little to the left or right of the original score lines if needed i had to adjust both and it didn t make a difference in the finished appearance once the cabinet is dry enough to handle double check the paper width before cutting out the base this is where i needed to adjust my score lines cut out the center arch first then check your pencil lines on the side arches and adjust as needed once your arches are cut out go ahead and glue the paper to the cabinet starting with one side and wrapping around making sure to flatten the paper as you go i like to use mod podge for these kinds of steps since it briefly allows me to nudge the paper a little if needed at this point leave the doors and front alone i applied black gesso to the inside base and top later i painted the top outside and bottom outside with a mottled brown black red combo to mimic the door paper i used linen hinge tape to attach the doors to the frame i put as much as possible on the narrow frame and marked the spot next i separated the tape from the backing and stuck it the the door i reattached the backing to the little flap as i worked on the red door panel i don t have photos but here s what i did sanded the left edge of the paper at an angle to account for the hinging this was easier to do before attaching to the door because i didn t want to sand the linen tape i did the same for the right door then attached the paper to the door panel i sanded the rest of the edges a bit and then inked all around here is what it looked like at this stage notice the doors fall in a bit at the end i made door stops from the little dashes left from the laser cutting i keep all of these just in case in the future i ll add the door stops before the front panel is attached so they can be better aligned i let it dry overnight with the doors open the next day i sanded all the edges and reinked as needed then decorated thanks for your visit today please vote in

soul laser cuts shadow box wednesday march 21 2018 flights of fancy necklace hello my friends today i have a new vintage inspired necklace and a story to share with you quite a few yeas ago i was at the philadelphia beadfest and spent a little time chatting with suzanne of a grain of sand not only did she have gorgeous vintage beads and clasps but agos is the same town as family so there was a bit of a connection since then i ve kept up with the facebook page and drooled over new stock posts about the famous vintage bead hoard last year suzanne and team created a new facebook group dedicated to jewelry designers who are inspired by the miriam haskell design house 1930s present during the past year i ve been inspired by so many incredible pieces posted by designers from all over in january i decided to enter the agos 2nd miriam haskell design challenge how exciting the entrants bought a challenge specific assortment of vintage beads from agos and had a few weeks to design the top 3 winners received gift certificates to buy more great vintage stuff what could be better than that i entered and i won grand prize can you believe it i was surprised no really when you go to the fb page and see all the other entries you ll be in awe too this necklace was made with a cage work technique meaning all components except cabochons are wired to the filigree base using a fine gauge wire this is a fiddly technique but oh so satisfying to make i feel like i m carrying on an almost lost tradition when i make this type of jewelry see the wee hummingbird on the flower that s fancy and this necklace is part of my flights of fancy line thanks for your visit today cheers susan posted by susan killam creative at 10 08 am 1 comment tagged assemblage jewelry cage work flights of

at some point i decided to use mini albums blanks as board books that tell a story like the kid s books from years gone by i have a very detailed halloween one in the works today i want to share the beginnings of a travel mini album board book using the gsl cuts staggered bracket edge mini album and elements from a couple different sets here s the album see how pages 4 and 5 are set with brackets on top and bottom i accidentally put bot bracelets on the bottom see above no worries though it still works the first thing i did was to choose the paper for each page i used iod gallivant since it has a vintage travel theme number the pages 1 2 3 etc and note which side is the front to make sure you don t accidentally flip a page while gluing the paper like me i outlined the album pages onto the paper design and cut by hand the papers were attached using mod podge and i set a heavy object on them the keep them flat while drying fine and extra fine sandpaper cleaned up the edges ink and a brown pen gave the edges a vintage look i was recently talking with another education team member about embossing powders i figured this would be a good project to use them again first i prepped the laser cuts i wanted to use this travel word is from the small chevron words travel set other words in the set are journey adventure and destination i ll end up using all of them in this book since i only wanted the word i snipped off the chevron parts travel was eventually embossed with browns and landed on the album front next i wanted to add a little color without painting i used blue prismacolor pencil and layered a little brown on top this was a total experiment embossing ink and clear powder added and voilà it worked i added more ink and powder to the cut out steampunk frame balloon basket to fill in this banner strip got the same blue pencil embossing powder treatment as the balloon here i m gluing it to the front page from here i continued embellishing the front and first two pages i ll continue the project in the next few weeks here is a view of the embossed balloon compass rose and medium size tudor rose thanks for your visit today cheers susan gsl cuts used
