Laura's Mini Book

Sweet Sassy Diva's Design Team was given a challenge to create a mini-book

Here is my version......hope you like it!


RECIPE

BEIGE SHEET OF 3M POST-IT BEIGE CRAFT ADHESIVE PAPER
6X12 SHEET OF BLUE CARD STOCK
10 6X12 SHEETS WHITE CARD STOCK
RED MARTHA STEWARTS GLITTER GLUE PEN
GOLD MARTHA STEWARTS GLITTER GLUE PEN
SMALL OFF WHITE PRIMA ROSE
CINCH-IT MACHINE
CINCH-IT BINDING WIRES

DIRECTIONS

FIRST I CREATED MY SHOE IN MAKE THE CUT SOFTWARE...I ACTUALLY DOWNLOADED THE SHOE SVG BUT DON'T REMEMBER WHERE...I RESIZED IT TO 5.0 INCHES AND CREATED A SHADOW LAYER...SO THE BLACK IS THE SHADOW...THE RED IS THE ACTUAL CUT....I PRINTED AND CUT BOTH ON THE BEIGE 3M POST-IT CRAFT PAPER

I THEN USED A CURVED SQUARE SHAPE FROM MAKE THE CUT SOFTWARE SIZED AT 5.5 INCH AND CUT OUT 2 BLUE AND 20 WHITE

NOW PEEL OFF BACKING FROM THE SHOE PARTS AND LAYER ON THE BLUE

I THEN USED RED GLITTER ON THE RED PART OF THE SHOE TO GLAMOUR IT UP
(YOU KNOW HOW I LOVE SPARKLE!!!!!!!!)

THEN I TOOK THE GOLD GLITTER AND GLAMMED UP THE ROSE ADDED A LITTLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HEEL AND ADDED DEFINITION TO THE INSIDE OF THE SHOE WITH IT

I GLUED ON THE ROSE.....AND ADDED AN L WITH RHINESTONES

NOW I GOT READY TO PUT MY BOOK TOGETHER SO OUT CAME MY CINCH-IT

PULL PEG 1 AND ALL AFTER PEG 10

AFTER ALL SHEETS HAVE THEIR HOLES I ADDED TO MY CINCH WIRE THEN CUT EXCESS WIRE OFF...NOW TO THE BACK OF THE CINCH-IT TO CINCH THE WIRES TOGETHER

VOILA!

Post-It Notes Covers

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Hope all of you are staying nice and warm.....we have another snow storm here today...last week we got 7 inches..don't know how much we will get today

Since I don't have money for Christmas gifts I am making them .... here are just a couple of what I am making


This one was done using flower soft and coloring a digital stamp from Priscilla's....really like how the flower soft made it look like real flowers


This one I created using a free stamp I received from Peachy Keen Stamps when purchasing from their Black Friday Sale......isn't it cute??????????

Stay safe and warm!!!!!

Western Santa Christmas Card

This card is sort of a twofer ggggggggg

You have 2 options....create a Snowflake Card or add the Western Santa for a Santa Card




RECIPE:

6X12 WHITE LINEN CARDSTOCK BASE
6X6 PIECE OF WHITE 3M POST-IT ADHESIVE CRAFT PAPER
GLITTER
SMALL PIECES OF COLORED 3M POST-IT ADHESIVE CRAFT PAPER - FOR SANTA
MARTHA STEWARD WHITE GLITTER GLUE - FOR SANTAS BEARD AND MUSTACHE
MARTHA STEWARD BLUE GLITTER GLUE - FOR SANTAS EYES

OPTIONAL:  INK AND INK PAD TO STAMP SENTIMENT INSIDE CARD

DIRECTIONS

START WITH YOUR 6X12 BASE CARDSTOCK AND FOLD IN HALF

NEXT I CUT THE SNOWFLAKE THAT WAS DOWNLOADED FROM PENNY DUNCAN (THANKS PENNY!) AT SIZE 5 INCHES ON WHITE 6X6 PIECE OF 3M POST-IT CRAFT PAPER

ONCE CUT I REMOVED THE BACKING AND SPRINKLED ON MY ULTRA FINE GLITTER...3M POST-IT CRAFT PAPER MAKES THIS PROCESS SO EASY!

I THEN RUN THE SNOWFLAKE THROUGH MY XYRON TO PUT ADHESIVE ON THE BACK TO STICK TO MY CARD BASE

FOR THE SNOWFLAKE CARD THAT COMPLETES IT EXCEPT FOR PUTTING YOUR SENTIMENT INSIDE


OK NOW FOR THE SANTA PART...I TOOK JUST SMALL PIECES JUST LARGE ENOUGH TO DO EACH OF THE INDIVIDUAL CUTS FROM COLORED 3M POST-IT CRAFT PAPER...PEELED THE BACKING OFF AND LAYERED ON

FOR HIS BEARD, MUSTACHE AND EYEBROWS I USED THICK AMOUNT OF MARTHA STEWARDS WHITE GLITTER GLUE TO GIVE A TEXTURED EFFECT

I USED SMALL AMOUNT OF BLUE MARTHA STEWARDS GLITTER GLUE FOR HIS EYES

HERE IS A CLOSE UP OF HOW HE LOOKS.....THINKING MY BASE COLOR INSTEAD OF BLACK I SHOULD HAVE USED A DARD BEIGE......OH WELL THE KIDS WILL LIKE IT ANYWAY :o)



HOPE YOU LIKED THEM!
