Simple For You Vintage Cards

 Hello Crafty Peeps, 

I hope you all had a wonder weekend. Today I used the new December Card, Tag, and More Kit to create these super cute cards. I love this kit as it has a ton of chipboard pieces to create some really nice cards, tags and other things, you definitely don't have to worry about running out of them. I have the links throughout the step by step tutorial and I have a video tutorial for you as well. I hope you are inspired by these simple vintage cards.



December 2024 Card, Tag and More Kit


To start with card #1. I tore a piece of the blue colored pattern paper off and adhered it to the another piece of this gorgeous pattern paper. I really like this paper as it has a wonderful vintage vibe.  Then I inked the edges with vintage photo ink. Adhere the panel to the card bas. 


Next I placed gesso on the metal feather, set aside to let dry. 


Once it's dried I used tarnished brass to paint over the feather. 


I used one of the stickers and painted it with the tarnished brass paint. Let dry for a bit. 


For the beautiful chipboard clock I sprayed with my vintage photo spray and set aside to dry or you can use a heat gun to dry it but do not get close. 


Next I adhered everything together. For more details you can visit the video tutorial linked above. 


Card #2.
For this card i used a gold card stock and adhered one of the alterego pattern papers to the top and then adhered the panel to the card base. 


Next I added foam tape tot he oval frame 

Next I placed the little mouse inside the frame, added some of the flat back pearls around the frame and adhered the lace on the side. This turned out so adorable. 


Here is a photo of bother cards, so simple and easy using some wonderful techniques as well. I did add the For You chipboard ephemera to the bottom of each card. These would make perfect cards to go with any gift or send to any family or friends.

3D Nutcracker Busted Canvas for Tres Jolie

Hi Crafty Peeps, 

I am so excited to share with my first busted canvas project. For this project I used the November Scrapbook Kit from Tres Jolie. In this kit we used the 3 Quarter Designs Xmas Magic. I have a video tutorial and links down below, plus step by step tutorial. You can always watch the video for more details. 


November Scrapbook Kit


To get started you will need two 10 x 10 canvases. Measure the inside so you can adhere your pattern paper down to the inside. This measured 6 7/8 x 6 7/8 inches. Then place your glue to the inside of the canvas open area and adhere your paper down. 


You will do the same thing for the second canvas as well. With your canvases paint the inside of frame area of both of them, as shown below. 


Next pick one of the canvases for your top, and paint the top and sides. Set aside to dry. 


Once its dry, get your xacto knife and cut one line horizontal and one line vertical in the middle of the canvas. 


Then get you scissors and cut in the middle of each flap and you should 8 flaps, as shown below. 
For the next part I decided to used glue dots to hold down my flaps as the hot glue wouldn't hold and the flaps kept popping up. The glue dots worked really well. You want to roll the flaps over and place the glue dots (use two glue dots) at the tip of the flap.


Decorate the inside of your canvas. I fussy cut out the train and the solder and placed them inside. Next I did cut the edges off of the canvas you can see here I just away 1/4 inch from the wood and painted. I didn't want any of the white canvas edge showing. I also painted the edges.
Once I was done with decorating the inside I used double back tape 2 inch tape, and adhered it around the border of the canvas, as the hot glue was not working properly.  


Adhered on the busted canvas on top and then used a pretty gold ribbon from my stash that is adhered around the seams of the canvases. 


I placed a few of the ephemera pieces in the top corners and added in some of the pieces inside. The inside pieces are adhered down to wooden part of the canvas that is like a platform. 


I hope you found this Christmas 3D Nutcracker Busted Canvas tutorial inspirational and you get to create one as well. I really enjoyed creating this for Christmas. I will definitely be creating more of these. You can also give these as gifts.

Baby's 1st Christmas Chipboard Album

 Hello Everyone, 

I hope you all are having a great day. The holiday season is upon us and I can't believe how fast Christmas will soon be here, really just like 5 weeks away. Today's project is a Christmas Album, however I created it for my daughter to my grandson's Christmas pictures inside as it is his first Christmas. This album is really simple and easy not a lot of flips and flaps but definitely will hold lots of photos. For this album I used the Chipboard Banner Album from Clear Scraps. I have a step by step below and I have a video tutorial with more details. 



              Chipboard Banner Album                                               Minis Shaker Onsie

            


To begin I covered the first chipboard front punch holes after you cover the front side and then cover the back side. Adhere the back pattern paper on. You can cover all the front and back pieces if you'd like but I did do some flaps and I added a couple of waterfalls inside. You can get more details by viewing the video tutorial. 



Here is the reverse side of the cover piece. I will be adding a waterfall here so you will 
cut 4 1/2 x 6 pieces and Score 1/2 inch on the 4 1/2 inch side. I have photo down below.


For page 3 I will be creating pockets. For the pockets I chose a paper that has borders or chose a paper with horizontal lines. On the back place 1/8th inch adhesive.

Next measure 1/4 inch space from the right and left edge. (I show more detail in video tutorial). 


Once your lines are cut for your pockets place some adhesive above the top pocket and place adhesive above the second line/slit you cut. 


Remove the tape backing and adhere to the chipboard page. Add in your photo mats.


Next cover the little banner. I place a 2 inch piece of pattern paper and just cut the excess paper aways from the chipboard edges.


Here is where I did the second the waterfall. Use these instructions for the waterfall both waterfalls that are in this chipboard album. 
Cut 8 pieces of cardstock at 4 1/2 x 6, Score 1/2 inch with the 4 1/2 laying across the top of the scoreboard. Next add double back tape to the 1/2 inch flap, as shown below.


I added glue as well as tape to the 1/2 inch flap. 
Make sure you have your page covered with pattern paper. 


Next on the fold place the 1/2 inch flap down on top of your page. 


Once you adhere on the first waterfall piece next do the same thing for the piece of cardstock. Be sure to line the 1/2 inch flap fold is placed right under that 1/2 inch piece that was previously adhered down. 


Next I added magnets to the back and to one of the cut-apart cards on the back as this will be our closure for the waterfall. 


Here is the waterfall finished with the cut-apart card the closure. 


This page is behind the cover of the album. For this waterfall it will be done the same exact way but have the flaps laydown vertical, and add in the magnets for the closure. 


This is the Mini Shaker Onsie. You will adhere two of the onsies together and then adhere the acrylic piece on top once your take off the film from both sides. 

With plain chipboard trace it on a pattern paper, cut it out and adhere down. 


Next add in your shaker bits and adhere the onsies frames down on top of the papered onsie, and the painted top frame. 


Down below I'm adding photos of the completed album and the finished pages inside. 

On top of the album cover I added the Mini Shaker Onsie. I decorated the front with some images I fussy cut and my grandson's name. 


Here is the first pages (2 and 3) inside the waterfall behind the cover is covered with pattern paper. 
The 3rd page is the pocket page we created, mats are 4x4 1/2 inches.


The 4th page has flaps on the right and left side, the middle section inside I have a 4x6 inch mat. For this page I took my xacto knife and cut around the images below the page, you can slip in the photo mat behind the image.


Here is the 4th page with the flaps closed. 

Page 5 - This a side pocket I created and placed a Christmas Tree popped up with foam tape. 
I placed 2 5x7 inch mats and 2 4x6 inch mats. 

Page 6 on the left is another image I cut around with an xacto knife. I did fussy cut out the Santa and adhered him down by the sleigh. I placed a photo mat behind the sleigh. 
Page 7 is the second waterfall I covered with pattern paper and has the cut-apart card with the magnets. 


I  hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial and found some inspiration from today's project. I have the links to this Chipboard Banner Album throughout the step by step tutorial. I hope you have a chance to head over to the shop to grab one to create and hold all your Holiday memories this year.
