Happy Day

Happy Monday and welcome to May.

Here in the UK we have a bank holiday today, which means that office people have a day off work...woooohooo!
What better way to celebrate than with getting stuck into paper and glue and create up a storm.

Today, I have a card/tag combo for you, which I hope you will enjoy.

For the card, I made use of papers from two very different collections: VOGUE and AVALANCHE

For the tag, I used some left-over scraps from the AVALANCHE  line to create the rosette and added a cut up RUB ON as a further point of interest to the overall design

For you treat container PLUS a challenge

Hi all!

I'm so excited to be the person to share with you a challenge for this month.

But before that let me share with you a project I made using some fun Upsy Daisy Designs products....

For You Treat Container

I recycled a scrapbook product packaging and turned it into a candy container. This package used to hold chipboard alphabets. I covered the back (where the manufacturer info were) with pattern paper from the Cupcake line and made a paper wrap that went all the way around the project using cardstock, more papers and ric rac.


To cover the part where you can hang up your box with, I punched out more papers with my 1/2" circle puncher, adhered a whole row of it and then added some stamped flowers from the Girlfriends stamp set. I also finished it off with brads from the Blossom pack and pearls (from my own stash


I used the big circle stamp from the Girlfriends stamp set to create my title block and then added some letter rubons. I added more flower stamps on this too.


a side view of the project.

So now that I've shown you what I did....I "challenge" you to do the same.....repurpose a scrapbook packaging into something new! Don't limit yourself to using just the packaging, you can cut it up and use parts or all of it into a layout or card.

So what are you waiting for? Go start rummaging and if you happen to play along make sure you post your projects so we can leave some love on it. :)

Till next time,
Grace

Valentine's Day at UDD!!!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR
Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes!

(John Paul Young)

I Love Valentine's Day and I am so happy 'cause  it's my turn right at February!!! And... Pink + White + Red!!!??? Yes, I love these colors!!!

Clouds

Hi there, it's me Julia Saddi : ) and today I come to share with you girls few clouds of my very own style. Hope you all like and try them out. If you have any doubts while making clouds like the ones I am going to show you today, feel free to get in contact with me: reach_ju@hotmail.com.  And, if you have great ways of making different clouds, all by yourself, on your very own style, please share with us just leaving the exact blog post address under your comment on this post, we'd appreciate it!

Materials:
- Upsy Daisy Vogue Collection
- 2 White Cardstocks
- 1 Riptide Blue Glimmer Mist or similar
- White Fabric Puff ink
- 1 Post-it full adhesive Craft Paper size A4
- Sun: either a die-cut or an embellie made by yourself
- Whatercolour tubes
- Fine brush
- Small Yellow Alphabet
- Precision Scissors
- Blue Bottons
- Ribbons
- Color markers

1. Masks' Negative Technique:

First of all, you should either draw or find a cloud set pattern you may like to work with.  Here I used an old cloud set pattern I keep on my patterns' box.  I drew them on a Post-it full adhesive Craft Paper size A4, cut them out with a small precison scissors, then peeled the non-sticking paper on the back of them. Next, I glued the clouds on the top of a white cardstock, 'cause they should work as a mask negative on my project. First two photos:

After arranging the clouds on the white cardstock, I srayed riptide blue glimmer mist around all the area where I chose to be the sky on my Layout. You can take the excess ink, if you want, by gently  tapping a clean white napkin onto it. After the glimmer mist has dried, you can remove the clouds' masks.  The result will be like shown on the following photos: 

Bellow you can see the whole Project in which I used these Clouds' Masks Negative:

2. Glimmer Mist Sray: I copied the clouds' patterns on the top of an UDD paper that I LOVE 'Vogue Fashionista' , sprayed glimmer mist on the top of them, waited for them to dry, cut them out and used on a Card Project, like shown belllow:  

Title with Upsy Daisy alphabet rub-ons

3. White Fabric Puff Ink applied to Scrap and Card Making:  at this time I pulled out of my patterns' box a huge cloud, drew it on a cardboard, cut it out, glued UDD New Paper #AVA014 Powder onto it, then cut off all the excess paper.  To soften the blue and give a certain touch of reality into the big cloud, I painted the top of it using white watercolour tube, fine brush and white napking to suck/drie the excess water. Right after this, I circled the outer cloud with White Fabric Puff Ink and dried the puff ink with an emboss heat gun. Kept it aside. I drew a small cloud on a scrap of  Fashionista paper, did not use any watercolor, but also used puff ink - same process. Then I fixed the smaller cloud with foam tape over the bigger cloud. Glued ribbons on the button of the big cloud, glued blue doodlebug buttons and a die-cut sun. Chose a simple title for all occasions: Hi! and attached a thin waxed ribbon to it. Voilá! Last photos:

At the back of the card, I made some doodles at the border

and lines to be written on.

1 Huge Hug to each one of you, Love, Julia Sáddi
