Hump Day

 

 

Hi,Bev here today to share an easy card with just a slight slant.

Also going to share how to make this cute small bouquet of flowers.

Here is the slightly different but easy base to share on this one.

Start with a 4" x 12" card base.

Score at the 4" and 8" mark.

On the front panel cut the diagonal line from one corner to the opposite corner.

Now how easy is that.

Decorate as you like except here is how to make the floral bouquet accent.

Supply List:

2 - 4  floral stems

Lace or ribbon.. a good length for wrapping 

On the left side of the above photo is my chosen cluster and I twisted the

wires to hold the flowers in place. Also you cut the wire to desired length.

In the above photo you can see I tied a know near the top under the flowers

 and left enough ribbon length to be able to tie a bow.

You take the long end then and wind it around and around down to the bottom of the wire.

You then start back up the stem the same way to the top again.

At the top you then tie a small but too cute bow to finish off your cluster of flowers.

 

It is ready to mount on any project.

 

Thanks for stopping by.. enjoy.

Shake it up it's Hump Day!!

Shake it up its Hump Day!!

Hi Bev Code here ... so glad to share with you today. Shakers are so much fun, that today I am going to show you how to make one!

Here is a photo of the Jillibean Soup Packaging for the corrugated shapes. It is perfect to make a shaker. 

The plastic dome is perfect but also today I am using the background shaped piece. 

Carefully take apart with as little ripping as possible.

I decorated the background packaging of the Jillibean Soup. 

Add the beads to the clear plastic, I found this the easiest way. This way you can add the glue to the edge and flip the other piece on top centered within reason with a quick slide to center it if necessary.

Loved the sports theme on this one.. it will make a great guy card,birthday card or just for fun project.

Cover the back side and add the sentiments.

It was so much fun I made another one which I totally papered

 covering the whole background first. I then added some cute accents, a banner and a sentiment. 

After using the same process to add the beads I added an accent on the outside to finish it off. 

Hope you enjoyed this today. Take inventory of your packaging of some of your scrappy items. How many more of them come in this type of packaging.Some of those small kids toys come in plastic domes also. Save them and make some of these cute shakers.

Thank you for stopping by today! 

See you Saturday

Hump Day !

Hi Bev Code here!

I'm super excited to share a wooden frame that I found. I used gesso to cover the entire frame and gave it a few coats.

Then using stencils and some coloured painted added to yet more gesso. I used a mask to add the fun accents to the board. Because the gesso is so much thicker than the paint the frame has great textured look.

After adding the gesso I decided to let it dry overnight. you shouldn't rush this step.

Here is my finished wooden wall frame... with a great little photo added, lots of fun paper elements, some metal accents and even some gem stones. I also added lots of glossy accents over some of the paper rings and scallop edge to help it adhere it to the frame. 

Up close you can see the glossy look, a 3D flower with a brad and the metal flower and some liquid pearls too. 

Just a few more close ups of all the lots details. 

Thanks for visiting.. 

I enjoyed sharing with you today.
