some more samples with the butterfly die

Hello Everyone Glad you dropped by.Once again im sorry for not updating blogg will try my best lol time does fly when you're crafting!

Here is a little BUTTERFLY vintage keepsake box.

i bought this little box for very little money think maybe £2.

This is really easy to make..honest...all you have to do is  add your paper any one you like and glue down,cut of around paper and with a little sandpaper rub round the edges to distress.

 let it dry and then

use your distress inks and rub around the box.

 On the inside i added paper to back panel and added a little bit of lace.

I left it soaking in some tea over night and washed it out and dried to give it the age effect.

The butterfly is from tattered lace one of their beautiful dies that i have the pleasure to work with.

I cut it out a few times and inked it with distress ink and doubled it up glue gun in center and added second wings. 

The corners of the book are glue gun added and i dropped some Tonic pearl drops inside and let it fill and left to dry gives a really nice effect.

 Added more lace around the outside with glue gun same on top of window bit another butterfly.

Gems whatever you like in the middle of butterfly.

Also a little sentiment and hung a key etc for detail on front.

 Some more little e ideas with the same butterfly and distress inks

She is very brave.

Hello my friends

Sorry its been awhile since last posted, but i've so busy with wedding stuff and on holiday too.lolI will try and post more again soon.

please forgive my craft room mess above

 (need to tidy and get a bigger one)

this is a baby card made with TATTERED lace dies, they make the card so easy, honest just a little inking and sticking.

 some wedding favours with die tags ...lots an lots.. of cutting!!

This was an old frame i had and used chalk paint and lots of distressing and sanding back with a high light using gold oil bar and some crackle glaze used as well.

Then i used modge podge and layed down paper (pattern side down) into modge podge and left to dry, when dry damp with cloth lightly rub away backing of paper and you're left with an aged effect.Hope you like it 

The Journal or 'spell book' lol that i made for Tattered lace CHA show

I used Tattered lace 'Fantasy dies the 'Owl and Castle'

these are lovely dies and large, i have used lots of ink around the edges of dies .

The main body of the book is an a4 page folded in half and lots of layers added with distress ink and i tore down bits and curled the edges to age it more. 

i inked two colours over the page and added a little glitter to the stars,feather and flowers etc at the bottom, i also used the pages embossed with some papers i had.

 the spine of the book is a piece of card folded like a concertina and double sided tape inside each fold for added strength. then i added the pages.

Each page i used fancy die cuts for the edges, and of course lots of inking and distressing going on, just love Tim Holtz inks.

 Left lots of space to add photos and journal..

and tied lots of ribbon and embellishments on the side.

Hope you enjoyed this and it was of some help, it was easier than it looks to do, please leave me a note id be happy to help..
