Hello
Blog Friends!!!!
A warm
welcome to everyone and especially to all you Spellbinders® fans coming to
check out today’s Shipping Frenzy project! Today, I’m excited to share a project that
showcases some of the new A Gilded Life products. If you aren’t familiar with Spellbinders A Gilded Life products, check them out
on their website HERE.
Good News! This incredible line of products can be found in a Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store near you the week of April 6th!
I know you’re all scrolling down to see the project……so here it is!
I know you’re all scrolling down to see the project……so here it is!
This small handmade album has been decorated
using A Gilded Life dies, bezels and texture plates. The album is 5 ¾ x 7 ½ʺ with cardstock
pages. The supply list is after the directions.
Here are the directions....
Here are the directions....
Cut stiff chipboard covers: 2 - ⅞ x 7 ½ʺ; 2 – 5 x 7 ½ʺ
Again use PVA glue to fasten mulberry paper to both covers. Wrap to inside and glue.
Cut Kraft card stock a little smaller than
cover for inside. Align on cover and
mark fold/gap. Score cardstock. Use Xyron to apply permanent adhesive to one
side. Fasten to inside of cover. Repeat for other cover.
Ink French Script texture plate with Memento Luxe Rich Cocoa and press against covers just as you would a stamp.
Rub VersaMagic Pixie Dust direct to
paper over Kraft card stock
Cut with Grand Calibur® machine: Vintage
Brocade rectangle. Cut/emboss Rose
Medallion and 2 – Quatrefoil Bands.
Use Wrought Iron texture plate to emboss
rectangle.
Apply Metallic
Lustre to all pieces starting with Champagne Ice. Then add touches of Gold Rush. Finally add just a touch of Iced
Espresso. I used that mostly on the
Quatrefoil bands. I rub the Metallic
Lustre on with my finger. (The easiest way to clean it off your finger
is to press against sticky side of tape)
Apply 2ʺ Scor-Tape to Kraft card stock.
Tape Petite Monarch die over Scor-Tape.
Cut using Junior Metal Shim, base plate and pink embossing plate. The Scor-Tape backing is very tough to cut. The metal shim makes it cut easier.
Remove tape backing. Sprinkle with Vintage Glass Glitter. Press glitter into tape.
Then sprinkle with Flax glitter and remove excess. Because the Vintage Glass is quite coarse
there are gaps between so the Flax glitter fills in those spaces.
Fasten Quatrefoil Bands to spine area of
each cover with Scor-Tape. I also used
glue along the edges.
Fasten embossed rectangle along right
edge with craft glue.
Fasten Rose Medallion strip over rectangle using Scor-Tape and
glue. Place it about ¼ʺ from left edge
of rectangle.
Glue glittered Petite Monarch piece along left edge of rectangle. (I forgot a photo, see on album cover
Glue gathered tulle along Rose Medallion
with 3 in 1 Craft Glue.
Thread gold cord through organdy trim.
Glue it over edge of tulle trim.
Stitch rhinestone band to trim at top
& bottom.
Cut organdy heart with Hearts die. Use metal shim sandwich to cut it.
String pearls on thread. (I used
26) Knot thread. Glue to edge of organdy.
Place glue around outer edges Hearts Bezel Small – Bronze. Press organdy heart and pearls into bezel.
Make small tassel with pearl cotton. Wrap wire around top. Fasten to bezel with
pearl cotton.
Glue Rhinestone in gold spacer bead.
Glue in bezel.Tie bezel to trim on album front. Add crystals and pearls along points of glittered Petite Monarch strip.
Cut pages 5 ¾ x 7 ¼ʺ from cream card stock.
Cut 1 x 7¼ʺ strips to add to envelopes. Fasten to bottom edge of envelope with
Scor-Tape so they are same size as pages. Emboss envelope flaps.
Punch two holes in edge of each cover. Insert and set bronze eyelets.
Mark pages for holes. Punch holes in all pages and envelopes
Stack covers and pages. Thread ribbons through front eyelet, pages
and back cover and back through back cover, pages and out front cover. I used a piece of wire folded to slip over ribbon ends. It works like a needle only easier to slip ribbon into it. Tie in bow.
Voila!
A beautiful album!
I hope I've inspired you today! Lots of exciting new products and maybe some new techniques for you!
Happy Creating!
Judy
