An embossed and die cut Valentine Card in classic colors is sure to be a hit. It can be tricky to work with foiled paper and not leave dents or other marks. Check out the tips below if you have struggles.</div>

The best card starts with a nicely layered base of interesting papers. Here I chose a pearlescent patterned cardstock, star embossed foiled paper, and black card stock. The embossed piece is rather intricate and it took some time to remove all the bits.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The wings are die-cut from gold foiled paper and embossed with the feather design. placing the wings directly on the cared would have caused them to lose shape. I also cut and embossed additional wings from cardstock to give the foiled paper a cushion. I ran Tape Runner directly on the cardstock then added the foiled paper. This preserved the embossed design.</div>

The heart is popped up off the card front. I added strips of foam and again applied the adhesive to the foam rather than the foiled paper.</div>

The butterflies on this printed paper just scream to be given trails with sequins. I've used ink pen, stitching, gems, and enamel dots; but this is a first with sequins. I had to start by outlining the butterflies as they merge into the pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>~ Hello Sunshine ~</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I drew the trail with Helmar glue then shook the sequins over it. I dusted off the extra sequins and repositioned the remaining ones into the right shape. It's a process that I will have to refine, but the result is lovely.</div>

Rows of punched butterflies and a glittered burlap shape continue the theme.

I stacked and stitched the pink and yellow butterfly sequins from Spiegel Mom Scraps sequin mixes. I bent the wings up and left the gold braid long for antenna.</div>

This porcupine layout features wood grain paper and a row of stitched sequin hearts. This sweet little lady had quite a thing for carrots. She was thrilled to waddle up to Si and eat out of his hand, then search for more.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I echoed the heart shape in veneer, felt, cork, and cut outs along the photo edges. The bird is a feature of the patterned paper. I added gems to the branch and butterflies. Prima flowers with the 5th petal trimmed into antenna made delicate butterfly embellishments.</div>

This layout of Pepe the parrot features die-cut flourishes and plenty of sequins. This pretty parrot caught our eye during a trip to the fair. he kept asking for potato chips and we got to feed him. I guess when one reaches the age of 70 chips are back on the menu!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my take on this months Scraplift Challenge for Spiegel Mom Scraps sequins. I flipped the arrangement and used flourishes in place of the feathers. I embellished the flourishes with sequins from several different mixes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The photos didn't do Pepe justice! There was so much going on in the background he hardly stood out. I fussy cut Pepe from one of the photos, gave him a curly cue perch, and framed him in white. Pepe is a blue and gold macaw but he looks orange in this lighting.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I doodled a frame and date/place stamp with Jelly Roll white ink. Tiny type and fabric letter bullet points give the pertinent details. Paprika by Photoplay was the perfect compliment to Pepe's personality and his love of BBQ Chips.</div>

These mixed media cards offer hand stitching details. They feature layers of specialty papers along with watercolor images, hemp cord, and sentiment in flowing script. Canvas Corp's "Nautical" and "Compose Your Life" collections are represented here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaWO4JRsE4QFvKpnK19v4bm3He7cQuVw9nNNKbaKCpyxhKZ9I7M8CpaXySLPYFRuofcSQ9NSg7FDpluMpEZ1Y7eBvm3ydLW6MNCDE8eRuWeDUW0mWOxRswh67hDrfMQpNS1nDzU0tuLMQ/s1600/Stitched+Cards+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaWO4JRsE4QFvKpnK19v4bm3He7cQuVw9nNNKbaKCpyxhKZ9I7M8CpaXySLPYFRuofcSQ9NSg7FDpluMpEZ1Y7eBvm3ydLW6MNCDE8eRuWeDUW0mWOxRswh67hDrfMQpNS1nDzU0tuLMQ/s400/Stitched+Cards+%25281%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Directions:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 1:</b> Stamp image on watercolor paper, heat emboss, paint with watercolors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Embossing the image gives your watercolors boundaries. The paint is more likely to stay exactly where you place it when you use this technique.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSFbsbfzBuNbqXbtO9xfljuYrnBEf3opGceBRU4eIrSNVryTyYshHUMddj9qvKOZrxubTbxKWpAZ8c9J-2TmaPghMCCnG5rR3K-Z4M0NVXqL070PksFWY42RskFEwWPjKcFflvwPpuegI/s1600/Stitched+Cards+%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSFbsbfzBuNbqXbtO9xfljuYrnBEf3opGceBRU4eIrSNVryTyYshHUMddj9qvKOZrxubTbxKWpAZ8c9J-2TmaPghMCCnG5rR3K-Z4M0NVXqL070PksFWY42RskFEwWPjKcFflvwPpuegI/s400/Stitched+Cards+%25283%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> Step 2:</b> Cut and adhere layers of cardstock.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Mermaid is 4.5 x 3". The Anchor paper is 5.5 x 3.75". The Kraft paper is 8 x 6", folded. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 3:</b> Position Cord around mermaid perimeter, stitch in place.<br />
My final cord length is about 20".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXyBrtbiPtUCBMGxDv0kN2puY8DdRLYcAPXGsMn2tGw9RcBP9A-Zc1tHuLioiGJMV80k8llqwgHBFWksP2LeLn8TRJs4qiF7nciZl2IaCF2wPKWcU0a0k8uCdRKzKdKk92a1LYgeix8Fk/s1600/Stitched+Cards+%25285%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXyBrtbiPtUCBMGxDv0kN2puY8DdRLYcAPXGsMn2tGw9RcBP9A-Zc1tHuLioiGJMV80k8llqwgHBFWksP2LeLn8TRJs4qiF7nciZl2IaCF2wPKWcU0a0k8uCdRKzKdKk92a1LYgeix8Fk/s400/Stitched+Cards+%25285%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pierced holes at each corner of my image as well as on the sides. I started the thread at the back, ran it through the paper to the front, over the cord, and to the back through the same hole. I tied off each stitch before progressing to the next one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7gF7EzrjqNeGboLpdlUekaAqQkgId-d3umHaLIB2bEF8byuVakYeDqAiHdschAe-4hVXeSXuG35D9XEtL9TPyqjfLpd4OlJhjDYwNDsTz4wfbe2QgL03r12qfdY4xBEV0vC_B3ptttrM/s1600/Stitched+Cards+%25286%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7gF7EzrjqNeGboLpdlUekaAqQkgId-d3umHaLIB2bEF8byuVakYeDqAiHdschAe-4hVXeSXuG35D9XEtL9TPyqjfLpd4OlJhjDYwNDsTz4wfbe2QgL03r12qfdY4xBEV0vC_B3ptttrM/s400/Stitched+Cards+%25286%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 4: Tie the cord into a loose square knot at the top of the card. Attach the top of the knot with adhesive or a couple more stitches to hold it in place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Mermaids are one of my favorite images. This imaginary creature of two worlds can be painted any color. Flowing hair, beautiful voice, and centuries of legends make her untouchably perfect. Yet, this lovely being conforms to each persons imagination just as they will it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This second card embraces the watercolor style with a little less work. Layers of hand made papers are topped with printed watercolor roses. Gold stitching outlines the flowers and gold foiled paper scripts the sentiment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 1: </b>Cut papers. Adhere Roses to Ivory paper.<br />
Roses Are Red paper is cut to 3 1/2 x 5". Ivory Seed embossed paper is cut to 3 5/8 x 5 3/8". Wood Grain embossed paper is cut to 4 x 6". White Cardstock is cut to 8 x 6" and folded.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 2:</b> Outline roses with gold thread using a back stitch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Secure the ends with tape so the knot doesn't pull through. Stitching on paper must be done gently or the thread will cut the paper or leave rough edges.</div>

This layout with hand painted pansies celebrates one of the many trips we took when my girls were little.While living in Europe we explored the beautiful country of Croatia. These photos were taken in the Roman arena in the coastal city of Pula. My oldest daughter wandered from tier to tier picking flowers (cvijeće) and making dandelion bouquets.</div>

<b>Directions:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 1: Place stencil in upper right corner and spread 3D Glossy Gel over it. Sprinkle with White embossing powder, heat to set. Repeat for lower left corner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 2: Fussy cut 8x8 Bohemian Romance: Live Freely paper into four sections. Draw a horizontal line 3.5" down from the top. Evenly space the fussy cut images across it, adhere.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 3: Paint the 8x8 Bohemian Romance: BoHo Dreams paper with Glimmer Glam.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 4: Fussy cut BoHo Dreams into flower sections and place over gaps on horizontal line. Reserve remaining flowers and leaves for later use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 5: Layer trim and lace over horizontal line, adhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 6: Place photos then slip Architextures Findings: Garden Stakes behind them. Align Architextures Findings: Iron Fence with trim.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBEE-6ssaPsfzhR0jmRCttwtJBlIcy_hfmzjIXK_GqcvgHqCQ7jk-CgV9kPHjyKbmOAQBeK28iLoe_jW1apB-F4fH6Qw4KAZPPCrDRWU1PjfpOq7xFtUU8HtDFBakmHhoLpPY08YFMTMc/s1600/Painted+Pansies+%25288%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBEE-6ssaPsfzhR0jmRCttwtJBlIcy_hfmzjIXK_GqcvgHqCQ7jk-CgV9kPHjyKbmOAQBeK28iLoe_jW1apB-F4fH6Qw4KAZPPCrDRWU1PjfpOq7xFtUU8HtDFBakmHhoLpPY08YFMTMc/s400/Painted+Pansies+%25288%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 7: Die cut and assemble flowers from 8x8 Bohemian Romance pink, handmade paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used two sizes of three-petal die. I painted the flower center and then the petal tips. I pinched each petal between my fingers and thumb to give them shape. I glued and stacked the flowers then added a dot of yellow Stickles in the middle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 8: Adhere Painted Pansies around the photos, adding leaves reserved from the BoHo Dreams page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsJxt_VOfmYDe4hJ2pIiDWYbyGhsRX5HUqWN-dpYaYY5AphSe5bwwu_y5BX7lBaaiMdU_2UuRMqIlSzK75GoupCfoOeB0iLMffmR417zR-0sAQRLPoEAwTPEGRcLDGQtwXe7fFOaDBsFM/s1600/Painted+Pansies+%252810%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1050" height="390" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsJxt_VOfmYDe4hJ2pIiDWYbyGhsRX5HUqWN-dpYaYY5AphSe5bwwu_y5BX7lBaaiMdU_2UuRMqIlSzK75GoupCfoOeB0iLMffmR417zR-0sAQRLPoEAwTPEGRcLDGQtwXe7fFOaDBsFM/s400/Painted+Pansies+%252810%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 9: Place title over trim and iron fence.<br />
Because my title is in Croatian, I added the same word under the main photo in English.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For something unique this year make a set of Tri-Sided Canvas Ornaments featuring vintage art and a steampunk flourish. If you are itching to add personal touches to your Christmas decor these beautiful ornaments will hit the spot! Glimmer Glam sets the tone while Parchment Rub-ons provide the illustrations. Architexture Findings and Industrial Gears add the final touches. With eight different mini shapes in canvas or burlap the options are plentiful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

7gypsies Rub-ons combine the look of vintage art with the ease of pre-inked rubber stamps in countless designs. Select an image, trim it out of the parchment paper, and rub onto your project. With the ability to meld with paper and fabric these Rub-ons offer upgraded vintage appeal! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 1: Paint Glimmer glam on one side of Canvas Mini Shape.</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I painted the edges heavily and brushed the center lightly. If you get too heavy a color on the canvas rinse it with water and retouch as necessary. Allow to dry thoroughly. A heated iron will heat up the process.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz74gRjJ5vwIEF-nal4XQ8svgnG0Bk56rWBBjbPqkbov0VHUNMZlSjlGfvH_t7MWKyv0Lc0YjQsY1AvRRNrRnZ4h9z_EarRWg4L66-D3NQb5U8Ie_j8i1P2OOs-GlIMjFwLmIZLBhPScw/s1600/Canvas+Ornaments+%25284%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz74gRjJ5vwIEF-nal4XQ8svgnG0Bk56rWBBjbPqkbov0VHUNMZlSjlGfvH_t7MWKyv0Lc0YjQsY1AvRRNrRnZ4h9z_EarRWg4L66-D3NQb5U8Ie_j8i1P2OOs-GlIMjFwLmIZLBhPScw/s400/Canvas+Ornaments+%25284%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 2: Add Parchment Rub-ons to the canvas shapes</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It takes heavy rubbing to transfer the images onto canvas but the result is worth it. Alter images or layer several to customize your ornaments. For the round set I cut and turned the cats tail so it fit on the canvas. The Triangle ornaments have multiple gears overlapped.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 3: Cut cord into 3 lengths. 11", 5", and 3" and attach to canvas shape.</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tie Architextures Findings to one end of the cord lengths. Tie a large knot in the other end of the 5" and 3" lengths and 4" up from the Finding in the 11" length. The final goal is to have the findings hang in descending order. Stitch cord to lower end of canvas shape, just below the large knot. Thread a metal gear onto the top of the 11" cord and tie a sliding knot to keep it in place. I like to use a Poacher's Knot for this maneuver. It allows me to change the length of the cord.</div>

At our house decorating for Christmas is a much anticipated event. My children sit around sipping eggnog from champagne flutes while taking turns dressing the tree. Ribbons, beads, and bulbs flow through their fingers as a dusting of glitter and tinsel drifts toward the floor. Many flavors of candy canes finish off the tree. The cats drape themselves around the room, basking in the glow of the lights and take great interest in the arranging of the Nativity Scene.</div>

Although each piece of fruit has a variety of accordion sizes, each accordion rosette is made from a single circle of paper.</div>

<strong>Instructions:</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 1:Cut a 4 inch circle from cardstock.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 2:Score your circle into 16ths as shown in box 1 and box 2</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 3:Cut a 1.5 inch circle out of the center.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 4:Bunch center of the circle together to create an accordion flower, secure to a paper circle base with adhesive. I use hot glue which looks a tad messy so I add a paper circle on top. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you make accordion folds from circles 2.5inches or smaller you will need to cut a 1inch circle from the center.</div>

Today's tutorial describes how to sew colored burlap into shapes for card making. The fibrous, loose weave of burlap adds wonderful texture to any project. The downfall of this fabric is the easy with which it ravels out. Follow along for step by step instructions to make sure your burlap keeps its shape.</div>

Wire baskets quickly become a bathroom caddy when wrapped with burlap and ticking. A cluster of lavender wrap roses brighten the neutral color scheme. This trio of baskets performs a balancing act while tastefully organizing supplies. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 1: Remove the handles from all three baskets. Re-shape one of the handles for later use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm8L2d9ewL0oRBRwu-1BJJbgwCNN0zDhL2D_Q-nchW4FANl7MP78Q-68SLFzTqRvqufh8-TxfOBiPLVK6kmfc6ULVLdHphRiiCzhj3WpZAxWJPpDo6g6r6SEPYRZqNoBg-pBhuyRyq0Yc/s1600/Spa+Caddy+%25284%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1023" data-original-width="1024" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm8L2d9ewL0oRBRwu-1BJJbgwCNN0zDhL2D_Q-nchW4FANl7MP78Q-68SLFzTqRvqufh8-TxfOBiPLVK6kmfc6ULVLdHphRiiCzhj3WpZAxWJPpDo6g6r6SEPYRZqNoBg-pBhuyRyq0Yc/s400/Spa+Caddy+%25284%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 2: Measure the top tier of the basket. Mine was just over 3 inches.<br />
Measure in from the edge of the burlap and pull one strand of the weave.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq97zldEJiTI_e1yoRjsUMzY8Tsk4YQEogYUQjAF4MrdkpePxP1rOr0pp34JTFvWaoghZxNMCgcJB6gdD1qDQXOtXe0YJySn7nDo32HoWQgHl0yROoA9XAZrbgb6cLKllh6pf871ljGX8/s1600/Spa+Caddy+%25285%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq97zldEJiTI_e1yoRjsUMzY8Tsk4YQEogYUQjAF4MrdkpePxP1rOr0pp34JTFvWaoghZxNMCgcJB6gdD1qDQXOtXe0YJySn7nDo32HoWQgHl0yROoA9XAZrbgb6cLKllh6pf871ljGX8/s400/Spa+Caddy+%25285%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 3: As you pull on the strand, the burlap will bunch and leave an easy to follow line. Cut along this line.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCI2-iBHm4pidrQIIO9Q8ukoJOLWGmIol5gZr5sDlVQj2fa9-P8HlQxLwqdAmva6fGanQbBQVB9K4LrLsjT8PX3YA6aws14SXxLPLChNXg7yA8ZNq81SYpneDZBix5QMvvvcjFtWoeIg/s1600/Spa+Caddy+%25286%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCI2-iBHm4pidrQIIO9Q8ukoJOLWGmIol5gZr5sDlVQj2fa9-P8HlQxLwqdAmva6fGanQbBQVB9K4LrLsjT8PX3YA6aws14SXxLPLChNXg7yA8ZNq81SYpneDZBix5QMvvvcjFtWoeIg/s400/Spa+Caddy+%25286%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 4: Weave the strip of burlap through the ribs of the basket, finishing with both ends inside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6qah0HgkA_rYdT13Q_G_8KN8o_7r7xIi-UAjGZ-wE5zF4RAf-6J78Rzs_6cOm4nv9MJdTGeEaeLJkCDjLTgADFqvmlP5i0ecTc3Ud7MGGZZk_wzk-TPwnj4342A9JrW0xsARRSstvVtY/s1600/Spa+Caddy+%25286%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6qah0HgkA_rYdT13Q_G_8KN8o_7r7xIi-UAjGZ-wE5zF4RAf-6J78Rzs_6cOm4nv9MJdTGeEaeLJkCDjLTgADFqvmlP5i0ecTc3Ud7MGGZZk_wzk-TPwnj4342A9JrW0xsARRSstvVtY/s400/Spa+Caddy+%25286%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 5: Pin the ends together then use the pulled strand of burlap to stitch them. Trim the ends at an angle so they cannot peek over the rim of the basket.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaTwPvtW7avfdqFGKo46XE5cWoR0Ra4qf4WhUAbMT2QTmgappzbNCnKKFxJdxBaN5bLMc_GNaay3uLtzzMgbT1pr1xQQ1R8uA1-LTsa0S18yhmKyLeiIUvUn3TAE4N9mwR2QiguFt14ZY/s1600/Spa+Caddy+%25287%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaTwPvtW7avfdqFGKo46XE5cWoR0Ra4qf4WhUAbMT2QTmgappzbNCnKKFxJdxBaN5bLMc_GNaay3uLtzzMgbT1pr1xQQ1R8uA1-LTsa0S18yhmKyLeiIUvUn3TAE4N9mwR2QiguFt14ZY/s400/Spa+Caddy+%25287%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 6: Measure the lower tier of the basket and make a small cut in the ticking at the correct width. Grasp the ticking firmly and rip the fabric. The resulting edge will be slightly curled. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 with the strip of Ticking. I wrapped my ticking in an opposite pattern from my burlap.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 7: Slide the Burlap and Ticking till the seams line up with the basket ribs.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 9: Hook the handle loop of the bottom basket through the base of the side basket. Wrap wire around the edges to stabilize. Use a large gauge of wire for heavier items. </div>

Step 11: Wrap and mist the roses.<br />
a. Rip 3 lengths of Ticking 1.5"x 24". <br />
b. Tie a knot at one end, leaving a 1" tail.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
c. Fold the ticking in half and wrap it once around the knot, turning the tail to the bottom. Stitch the ticking in place.<br />
d. Fold the ticking the opposite way, wrap and stitch again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
e. Tuck the loose end under the last wrap and stitch in place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
f. Mist rose with Amethyst Chalkboard Mist. Leave to dry.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 12: Wrap the 1" tail at the back of the rose around the rim of the basket. Stitch the tail in place. If the roses slide too much make a couple loose stitches in the burlap at the back of each rose.</div>

To keep the caddy balanced place heavy items in the bottom basket with lighter items of similar weight in the top baskets. Slipping the handle over a wall hook will provide more stability.</div>

The serenity of the final photo shoot was destroyed with the swipe of a paw. Kitty was VERY unhappy to have been excluded from the process. He threatened to knock the caddy over if he wasn't given more screen time. Bowing to the wishes of my ginger diva, I have included a photo of his green eyed self. </div>

This nautical themed pillow cover with paint and embroidery adds to my front porch decor. It boasts anchor printed canvas in the shape of an H. Each letter is illustrated with a sea side image. Pillow covers transform a space with ease and take up very little storage space when the season changes.</div>

<b>Step 1:Cut and stitch Printed Canvas Sheet to form the H.</b><br />
Cut two strips of canvas at 9.5" x 3" and one strip at 2.5" x 3".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the back of each canvas strip draw lines 1" from the edge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Iron edges of the strip toward the back so that the edge touches the drawn line. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stitch each edge down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here Tetsu inspects my lines for errors. Remove cat as needed. </div>

<b>Step 2:Position letters on pillow cover and trace around O, M, and E.</b></div>

<b> Step 3: Outline each letter with a chain stitch.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a: Insert the needle through the back of the fabric to the front, then reinsert the needle near the same space.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
b: Insert the needle through the back of the fabric a short distance from the first stitch. Wrap the thread around the needle as shown.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
c: Pull the needle through to form a loop with a tail.<br />
d:Re-insert the needle through the front of the fabric, near the same space the tail exited.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
e: Repeat steps b through d.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose a chain stitch to outline the letters because it conforms easily to rounded shapes.</div>

I positioned the small letters in the center of the pillow because of the curve. If I had placed them near the base of the H they would have been less noticeable. As you can see, I did not get them exactly in line with the crossbar of the H. Little idiosyncrasies are what make each project unique. </div>

I'm still stuck on the mermaid theme for my front porch. I decided to go with elements of mermaid tradition rather than a full finned lady for this pillow cover. The cats, it seems were NOT impressed. Not one of my furry faced companions was interested in my final photography project.

I'll be in school full time and working for the next few months so I've chosen some previous projects to repost. This was my winning entry for an August 2012 MME contest.<br />

This tea themed project was perfect for using up my odds and ends and showcasing my favorite bits of papers. Gems, glitter, and twine made star appearances.</div>

I up-cycled an empty paperboard tea box instead of throwing it away. I covered it with blue patterned paper as that is Mom's fav color.</div>

When covering such a box the edges of the paper tend to lift. I added washi tape as colorful extra protection.</div>

Lots of layers of wings and frames on this 12x12 layout featuring a photo I love to
scrapbook like a song on repeat. My daughter arranged the outfit,
the pose, and the lighting all herself. This photo looks good so many
different ways I just have to try them all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I chose a very
dramatic color scheme for this remake with an emphasis on wings. I
wanted lots of layers, flowers, and textures. Canvas Corp Brands
seem to have it all, gorgeous cardstock, lace, and hordes of unique Architextures. I also wanted the photo
inside a deep layer of frames. Each frame would need to be cut and placed exactly. Careful planning and LOTS of foam tape make this
type of project possible!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9-WfIIgGWvURRn5YNkNG7mEgjSJwgF0TVwKDY3ppGhjbQdXZdd-U9eaJfhvfXIMyyBdAglbED-GRn0YESLOSSq0OcEtkSX7MeJAAx3EBxkNY9mI7uPhPfGv0j4dNHuCubkPbJOsEiW2s/s1600/dreamer+wings+%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9-WfIIgGWvURRn5YNkNG7mEgjSJwgF0TVwKDY3ppGhjbQdXZdd-U9eaJfhvfXIMyyBdAglbED-GRn0YESLOSSq0OcEtkSX7MeJAAx3EBxkNY9mI7uPhPfGv0j4dNHuCubkPbJOsEiW2s/s400/dreamer+wings+%25283%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cutting and Placement Tip: </span><br />
Before I cut my frames I drew a schematic on the back of the Chicken Wire paper. I cut each frame and stacked them up so that each frame was positioned exactly on the schematic. I pierced diagonal corners of the frames. While putting my layout together I had only to line up the pierced holes to know where my frame should be. The piercings that showed were easily covered with embellishments.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 2. Fold accordion corners in chicken wire paper. Evenly apply foam tape, glue dots, or layers of craft foam. You do not want any of your frame to sag so be generous. Center
Chicken Wire paper onto black cardstock. Do not adhere accordion
corners till later.</div>

Today's tutorial features my daughter and her instructions for how to paint a galaxy on a longboard using Tattered Angels High Impact Paint. Both the variety of colors and the quick drying nature of this acrylic paint were reasons my daughter chose High Impact Paint for this project. The fact that I own all of the paint colors and encourage my children to use them may also have effected her decision!</div>

When AJ's friend purchased her new longboard she knew she wanted something unique and memorable painted on the underside. She also knew who to bring her new board to for that design. She and AJ decided on a galaxy painted in a pattern that echoed the shapes on the front.</div>

Galaxy painting is a bit of a fad and many color schemes and styles exist. For this project AJ chose 8 paint colors. For tools she used cotton pads, a narrow paint brush, and a toothpick. She used a roll of paper to trace out her pattern and washi tape to mark out the edges on the board.</div>

Today's project is a prom photo, embellished and framed for home decor. Tulle and silk brocade are joined by silver sequins, flashy trim, and music themed paper. Foiled paper flowers and medallions and even more glam to this hand painted frame.</div>

The background is music themed cardstock with a navy tulle overlay. I used tiny metal brads for a tufted look. Here is how I accomplished that.<br />1) Pierce holes in paper at regular intervals with offset rows.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2) Lay large piece of tulle over paper so that it extends beyond each side by a few inches.<br />3) Beginning at center of paper insert brad through tulle and paper, twist to right one full turn then secure.<br />4) Work out from center brad placing and twisting brads. Each horizontal row of brads is twisted the opposite way.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I hot glued rhinestone trim to the bottom edge of the tulle. When it cooled I added half a portion of Royal Highness SMS Sequins. An identical rhinestone band of trim was hot glued to the top. The sides of the tulle were folded to the back of the cardstock and hot glued there. When everything was sealed and cooled I shook the sequins around until they filled the tulle pocket. </div>

The flowers on this photo are made of Rinea Foiled Paper. I used both Sapphire and Silver Starstruck Foiled Paper with Sizzix Dies. The first three flowers have petals curled up. The second three have petals curled down. </div>

Chipboard leaf flourishes are painted with metallic Tiffany blue and scattered with the foiled paper flowers. A strip of silk brocade from the dress is wrapped into a rose and crowns the arrangement.</div>

Glossy silver and turquoise foiled paper is layered under the photo. I used a Spellbinders die to cut the pieces for the mosaic medallion. Stickers, gemstones, and a chipboard alpha complete the layout.</div>

The rainbow flash of these amazing sequins is so hard to get with a camera. Here's a little corner of what it looks like in person. Glamour and class are the order of the day.</div>

The wood frame is an 11x14" thriftstore find. I sanded the finished wood then painted it grey. When that dried I dry brushed silver over the top. After several layers and a few mistakes it looks just right! This Home Decor project is my entry for the August challenge at Nomadic Soul Diaries.

This blush and white, monochromatic page celebrates my daughters first Art Show at school. She was 7, into bright colors, and excited about her work. The photo has so many colors I needed to use a muted palette to let it shine. The blush, white, and pops of grey put my girl and her painting front and center!</div>

For the background I used repeating, off set half circles of punched paper. I also stamped eyes with stylized lashes in peach tone ink. The stamp is from Pink Ink Designs Thalia set.<br />

I added a bit of sparkle with the Rose Glory sequin mix by Spiegel Mom Scraps. Just little bits of glimmer here and there. The keys, the banner, and the hot air balloon each have a different type of sequin.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A cluster of Prima flowers enhance the lower right corner. I didnt' have leaves in the color scheme so I cut up a velvet flower. Creative Embellishment's laser cut gears peak out from behind the flowers, the banner, and either corner of the photo.<br />

I didn't choose a particular theme for the diecuts. I was looking for a filigree style to mesh with the eye stamp. The wood shapes pop the photo up off the page for depth.<br />

I used Rinea foiled paper and Prima Flowers to update this metal sign for my craft room. I found it one day while out thrifting. I have always planned to give it some pizzazz and alter the message a bit. Having just updated my crafting space I knew it was finally time to get to this project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfKs0bNaLa7ZuawdZ_Wgddv0qzK6fcqEL1JRr3xFJbjYwk_-gl_68qLcN2HQ3ZuaUlAHwJbFcGwD9uOswAqTQAtqbS8TMmN1so7KzZPfumbuyRZSvfgm8NnVfobMPy_jVU8mTRE4_f6rA/s1600/drama1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfKs0bNaLa7ZuawdZ_Wgddv0qzK6fcqEL1JRr3xFJbjYwk_-gl_68qLcN2HQ3ZuaUlAHwJbFcGwD9uOswAqTQAtqbS8TMmN1so7KzZPfumbuyRZSvfgm8NnVfobMPy_jVU8mTRE4_f6rA/s400/drama1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely love the pale green color of this sign. The pressed metal has a great embossed design and the whole thing centers nicely on my crafting desk. The title doesn't quite fit though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvVu3fN2C6CFWDwdcDSr8gWs5QSAshMMnHlSKmy4zBV0Lp9u_5FgAxgMBmANUUlVHINdRVIiHH4_3HQ-lmjDAhiFzgprQUy-226jCZwoI8Bi0ucIYVPpMPgtizMnf0CXtBiMgI_9SUdak/s1600/drama2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvVu3fN2C6CFWDwdcDSr8gWs5QSAshMMnHlSKmy4zBV0Lp9u_5FgAxgMBmANUUlVHINdRVIiHH4_3HQ-lmjDAhiFzgprQUy-226jCZwoI8Bi0ucIYVPpMPgtizMnf0CXtBiMgI_9SUdak/s400/drama2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the Mini-WeRMrk Alphabet Punch board to make new letters. The embossed Starstruck Jade Foiled Paper from Rinea is the exact color of the sign. It cut and punched beautifully.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJdeEBkr6MTrC7LiOSUJ3b_LqgMy5CwLuRKbZv-_O9k63scvwsbOA6OCfJEQoYvCz8WQh4kOHFrikUbtWi2vdXDryqtRiw4zKMQrEWBJc6rdP3t6AOW_ickhpfyxxlSyBj0u3wzYztdT8/s1600/drama3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJdeEBkr6MTrC7LiOSUJ3b_LqgMy5CwLuRKbZv-_O9k63scvwsbOA6OCfJEQoYvCz8WQh4kOHFrikUbtWi2vdXDryqtRiw4zKMQrEWBJc6rdP3t6AOW_ickhpfyxxlSyBj0u3wzYztdT8/s400/drama3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sanded the sign and adhered Glossy Copper/Gold Foiled Paper from Rinea to the center. I then added the letters. Helmar adhesive is a fantastic all-purpose adhesive that doesn't leave wrinkles and worked great with the metal and glossy surfaces. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I like bling so I ran a strip of copper and green washi tape around the border of the Glossy Copper/Gold Foiled Paper . </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was looking a little bare so I added paper flowers and leaves. I was still on the green kick so I found some green and gold marbled flowers and set them off with white flowers and tawny leaves.</div>

This project was posted 4 years ago. I loved the process and am thrilled to share it for you again. It was a long and artsy process so settle in for a LIST of photos. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Coloring Products:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
White embossing powder (Zing), white pigment ink (Clearsnap), and three colors of mist.</div>
I used a mint green (Heidi Swapp), a teal (Tattered Angels)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and London Blue (Dylusions).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For tools you will need sponges or cotton rounds and a pointed stick (mine is for applying rubons).</div>

Adhere the torn paper strip with the strait edge 1/4 of the way from the top. Apply the adhesive just to the ends so that no debris remains on the image base.</div>

<b>Step 2:Paint Mermaid Scales on Canvas Pillow Cover</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose two colors for mermaid scales and used an alternating color pattern. I placed the stencil at the edge of the pillow cover and painted the first row of scales. I centered the stencil on the first row of scales to paint the second row. This gave the scales an overlapped appearance.<br />

<b>Step 3:Trace Heart onto Printed Canvas Fabric</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut a heart shape about 5.5" tall from the 12x12 piece of cardstock. I folded the Printed Canvas Fabric in half with the printed side in. I laid the pattern on the fabric so that I had room for 1/2" seams around the sides and point. The top of the heart I laid flush with the edge of the fold. I traced the heart shape lightly with a pencil.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 4: Cut Heart from Printed Canvas</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pinned the halves of the printed canvas together and cut out the shape leaving at least 1/2" of canvas outside of the shape for seams.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 5: Stitch Heart Shape on the Printed Canvas</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I machine stitched the heart shape along the pencil lines, leaving a 3" gap along the side. I made a series of shallow cuts in the seam allowance along the edge of the curves and at the point. These clipped lines ended close to the seem but did not go through it. Clipping the curves lets the fabric stretch and settle when you turn it right-side out.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> Step 6:Turn Heart Shape Right-Side Out</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the 3" gap along the side turning the heart is fairly easy. Run the eraser end of a pencil along the inside of the seams to ensure they are all turned properly.<br />

<b>Step 7: Stitch Opening Using the Blind Stitch</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>1)</b> The stitch begins on <i>side b</i>. Pull the needle through, anchoring the knot inside the hem space. Insert the needle in <i>side a</i>, directly across from where the thread emerged in <i>side b</i>. Slide needle in the hem space for 1/8 to a 1/4 of an inch, exit the hem space still on <i>side a</i>.</div>

<b>2)</b> Insert the needle in <i>side b</i>, directly across from where the thread emerged in <i>side a</i>. Slide needle in the hem space for 1/8 to a 1/4 of an inch, exit the hem space still on <i>side b</i>.<br />
<b>3)</b> Continue this pattern for the length of the seam, alternating sides.<br />
<b>4)</b> Pull the thread snug so that the edges match up exactly, but not so tight they pucker, and knot off thread.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When hemming a shape such as a heart with curves and points it is difficult to keep the desired shape. Tracing and stitching the pattern directly onto folded fabric, then turning it right-side out preserves the shape and prevents any edges that could ravel.<br />

<b>Step 9:Stitch Heart to Pillow Cover Using a Feather Stitch</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The feather stitch is a series of "V's". Each new stitch begins at the point of the previous stitch.<br />
The first stitch come up through the fabric at <b>point a</b> and goes back down at <b>point b</b> leaving a small loop. The thread comes back up at <b>point c</b> and catches that loop. The thread goes down into the fabric at <b>point d</b>, leaving a loop which is caught by the thread coming up at <b>point e</b>.<br />

I used a flat foam pillow to stuff my pillow form. My chairs are not deep and I wanted to be comfortable with multiple cushions. Of course it didn't take long till the cats had to try out the new pillows. Noir is hoping Mermaids taste like fish. She is willing to wait all day for a nibble!<br />

<b>Step 2:</b> Measure journal cover. Cut cardstock 1/2” narrower on each edge and punch decorative shapes into the corners. I used the point of a star punch on mine. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Step 1:</b>Purchase a wood puzzle ship kit. I get mine from Amazon. </span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Step 3</strong>: On the back of each wooden sheet of puzzle pieces, label each piece using a ball point pen.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Step 4</strong>: Very carefully punch each piece out. Keep in mind the pieces are fragile and will separate in layers or splinters if you are not VERY careful.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Step 5</strong>: Use the color clues in the above schematic to complete steps 6 through 9. Each color is a different piece of patterned cardstock. On the "Scrap O' Luck" I used the following colors of patterned paper for each color represented above:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Blue --- white with sparkle green pattern</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Purple --- Solid black with a flourish</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yellow --- Black and Green polka dot</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Orange --- Green polka dot</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Green --- News Print</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Orange and Green were made out of the same pattern of double sided paper. The Orange were traced on one side and the Green on the other.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Step 6</strong>: Orange and Green pieces are sails. Use different pieces of patterned cardstock for each color. Be aware that the sales will be seen from both sides so use double sided paper that compliments your ship theme. The first and third set of sales are colored orange in the above schematic.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Step 7</strong>: Four of the puzzle pieces will be covered with patterned paper on both side. Those are indicated with arrows.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Step 8</strong>: The remaining colored pieces will have paint on one side and paper on the other.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Step 9</strong>: The pieces without any color will be painted on both sides, but will not be covered.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Step 10</strong>: Paint sides and edges of all the puzzle pieces, let dry. One coat of paint is fine.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Step 11</strong>: Trace puzzle piece onto wrong side of patterned paper with painted side face up, cut out, and adhere. I prefer to work with Rubber Cement, but I am sure Mod Podge would work fabulously.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Step 12</strong>: Follow the step by step instructions included with the ship to assemble the pieces. Have your craft knife ready to trim the edges of the wood joints or of the paper. I found that many of my pieces looked like this before the ship would fit together properly:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Step 13</strong>: Because you are adding paper to many of the pieces the actual width will change. The pieces will not fit in the same way and some will not fit at all. I had the following pieces left over.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Step 14</strong>: If you plan to glue the ship, put it together without glue first to be sure you know where each piece will go and if you will need to leave any pieces out.</span></div>

Today's layout is a zany mix of texture paste, matching colors of glimmer mist, and lime green flowers. I took the colors directly from this photo of AJ next to an alien themed ride at the fair. The title reminds her she is half human, half cosmos, and all stardust!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This layout started as a White with 1 entry. I used Versafine ink and Wow embossing powder to create rows of circles for the base of my design. The circle stamps are from Little Yellow Bicycle.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The photo doesn't do the color scheme credit. In reality the mist and paste match shade for shade. I used Calambour 3-D Glossy gel in Light Blue and Green Gold. I ended up with so much paste by the time I had the color right that I saved it in a spare jar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I applied the paste through a Memory Box star stencil. After It had cured I added more circles with Liquitex modeling paste and TCW stencils. A spritz of Tattered Angels Chalkboard, Seven Seas and a the background was finished. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">I chose lime green and lavender for contrasting colors. A Martha Stewart "Punch All Over The Page" in a caning pattern pops in lime green against the purple cardstock. The background was too textured for adhering the photo mat down so I used tiny brads.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Strips of Webster's Pages trim echo the colors and the circle theme. I added black brads and punched gears from the purple cardstock.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A spray of lime green and black flowers cover the unsightly parts of the photo. Of course I didn't have the right flowers to start with. I spritzed a few Prima news print flowers with Tattered Angels Chalkboard, Inchworm. The final touch of Prima crystal flourishes meld perfectly with the stamped circles.</div>

Although I lost the White with 1 entry along the way I am thrilled with the result. I guess that means I will just have to spend MORE time crafting. </div>
