They are available to purchase through <a href="https://themakersmovement.com/new-arrivals/" target="_blank">The Makers Movement</a>'s website. I am super excited to be creating with the new release<br />
<br />
I used the <a href="https://themakersmovement.com/MOS221-Little-Feet-Stamp-Set/" target="_blank">Little Feet Stamp</a> set and <a href="https://themakersmovement.com/MOD279-Nested-Round-Tags/" target="_blank">Nested Round Tags</a> to create a welcome baby card.<br />
I gathered pink pattern paper, shimmer gold paper, foil gold paper, pink and white card stock.<br />
<br />

<br />
I used the medium size Rounded tag to cut a white card stock. I stamped the baby girl shoes with a very light pink ink.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I used the small tag to create a scallop square to stamp heat emboss the "Special Delivery" in rose gold. To create the square, I simply cut the tag, then turned the die to create the scallop square. I did the same with the pink card stock to create a nested back ground<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I heat embossed the girl onesie with gold embossing powder and colored it pink. I then layered the tags, using a few pop dot adhesives for dimension. <br />

I used a gold jewelry string and tiny gold dome gems to embellish. It turned out so cute!<br />

It's Christmas time! <a href="https://ritabarakat.com/index.php/blog/" target="_blank">Rita Barakat</a> and company have created a variety of Christmas projects that are sure to inspire you.<br />
<br />
I created a few layered rosettes to decorate a gift bag or to top off wrapped Christmas boxes. A fun alternative to bows.<br />
<br />
I used Rita's <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/658338477/a-merry-little-christmas-collection-die?ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1" target="_blank">A Merry Little Christmas </a>die cut collection.<br />
<br />
To make the rosettes, I used two strips of paper measuring 2" wide x 12" long. I scored each strip at every 1/2".<br />
Glue the ends to make a large ring.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoEJouUWDVcdr17XhXvZemJxXj93wYfI6FhI3G7_ty_49uvm2mx3o7u8Sa4EAwsJOvxVfuQuBAHLThzvsGeJIMQPYHrejSeYbCN8EyuY1QVdl3xYwsDPLiR4ol2wCm7zuJnnghFBRdXhvf/s1600/IMG_20191118_021152_795.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoEJouUWDVcdr17XhXvZemJxXj93wYfI6FhI3G7_ty_49uvm2mx3o7u8Sa4EAwsJOvxVfuQuBAHLThzvsGeJIMQPYHrejSeYbCN8EyuY1QVdl3xYwsDPLiR4ol2wCm7zuJnnghFBRdXhvf/s320/IMG_20191118_021152_795.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Next, cut a 2" circle add glue and flatten the ring and gather into the center to form a rosette. Holding the rosette by the center, quickly adhere the prepared 2" circle of glue to the backside of the rosette. Hold in place until the glue dries.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Add your favorite die cut to the center of the rosette.<br />

<br />
I added a scallop circle to the backside or you can layer another larger rosette on the bottom.<br />

Welcome to <a href="https://ritabarakat.com/?p=5789" target="_blank">Rita Barakat</a> and <a href="https://plaidonline.com/brands/plaid" target="_blank">Plaid Crafts</a> Blog Hop. <br />
'Tis
the season for everything pumpkin! I love all the non-traditional
colors and themes used to decorate pumpkins. And since it's always
mermaid season, I decorated a couple dollar store pumpkins using Rita's <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/629162225/mermaid-tails-die-cuts-ephermera-art?ref=shop_home_active_2&frs=1" target="_blank">Mermaid Tails</a> ephemera.<br />

I used Plaid's <a href="https://plaidonline.com/products/folkart-color-shift-acrylic-paint-purple-flas" target="_blank">Colorshift Purple Flash</a>, <a href="https://plaidonline.com/products/folkart-dragonfly-glaze-green-gold-red-2-oz" target="_blank">Dragonfly Glaze in Green & Gold</a>, <a href="https://plaidonline.com/products/folkart-glitterific-acrylic-paint-purple-2-o" target="_blank">Glitterific Purple</a>, <a href="https://plaidonline.com/products/folkart-treasure-gold-antique-gold-2-oz" target="_blank">Folk Art Treasure Gold</a> and <a href="https://plaidonline.com/products/folkart-acrylic-colors-turquoise-2-oz" target="_blank">Turquoise acrylic</a> paint. <br />

<br />
The purple pumpkin got two coats of Colorshift in Purple Flash, drying time took a little longer but so worth it! I then used the Glitterific in Purple for the top of the pumpkin. I added Rita's Mermaid die cut with hot glue and then added the flowers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used purple roses and purple pearls to decorate throughout the pumpkin. The Colorshift and Glitterific looks amazing! <br />

The turquoise also got two coats of Plaid acrylic paint in Turquoise. After it completely dried, I applied one coat of the Dragonfly Glaze in Green and Gold. After the glaze dried, I used a dry brush to apply the Folk Art Treasure Gold. I then added the gorgeous mermaid and scattered fabric, paper and resin flowers throughout the pumpkin.<br />

For my vinyl project, I used several colors of the <a href="https://www.styletechcraft.com/products/ultrafx/" target="_blank">Ultra FX vinyl</a> to create a layered sugar skull design. I used the Cricut Maker to cut the sugar skull for a Día de los muertos glass jar. The most difficult part of my project is choosing the colors! So many beautiful colors to choose from. You can find the <a href="https://www.styletechcraft.com/color-charts/" target="_blank">color chart here</a>.<br />

<br />
In Design Space, I separated the layers and changed the colors to match the vinyl. I trimmed the <a href="https://www.styletechcraft.com/" target="_blank">Styletech Craft</a> vinyl sheets to fit the size of each layer and prepared to cut. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I weeded each layer and used <a href="https://www.styletechcraft.com/" target="_blank">Styletech Craft's</a> <a href="https://www.styletechcraft.com/products/tape-transfers/" target="_blank">transfer tape</a> to place each layer on the jar.<br />

<br />
<br />
Once I had the last white layered in place, I kept the <a href="https://www.styletechcraft.com/products/tape-transfers/" target="_blank">transfer tape</a> and burnished the design and removed a few of the air bubbles.<br />

I know, all I can say is I tried not to, but she's my favorite.
I created a book journal for my Fall reading.

I made the Sing canvas cover a B6 size and the Jots & Dots Notebook was bigger, but no worries. Grabbed my handy dandy seam ripper and carefully ripped through the binding. I trimmed the notebook to fit the B6 journal cover and sewed it right up.</div>

Now onto my card, I used Paper Sweeties <a href="https://papersweeties.com/product/happy/" target="_blank">Happy</a> stamp and <a href="https://papersweeties.com/product/sweet-cuts-happy/" target="_blank">die</a> set with Pink and Main's <a href="https://pinkandmain.com/flower-cover-dies/" target="_blank">Flower Cover die</a>. I also used the new <a href="https://pinkandmain.com/supplies/paper/" target="_blank">Sparkle card stock</a>. <br />

<br />
I used the Gold Sparkle card stock to die cut the Flower Cover and used the single flowers die to cut a few on Sparkle card stock in white. <br />I cut the word Happy twice, on Ice Rink Sparkle card stock and Night Sky Sparkle. I also used a bit of the Ice Rink Sparkle to stamp the word birthday with pigment ink.<br />

No seriously. I used a gel plate for the first time ever and it was amazing, but I wasn't forewarned about how addicting printmaking could be! I got print after print after print! Each was unique and gorgeous!<br />
<br />
I started off by gathering my favorite Plaid Crafts paint colors and <a href="https://www.artfoamies.com/store/p814/Rita_Barakat%3A_Hearts.html" target="_blank">Rita's</a> <a href="https://www.artfoamies.com/store/c22/Rita_Barakat.html" target="_blank">Art Foamies</a>, <a href="https://www.artfoamies.com/store/p805/Rita_Barakat%3A_Princess.html" target="_blank">Princess</a>, <a href="https://www.artfoamies.com/store/p814/Rita_Barakat%3A_Hearts.html" target="_blank">Hearts</a> and <a href="https://www.artfoamies.com/store/p454/Rita_Bararkat%3A_Fairy_Wings.html" target="_blank">Fairy Wings</a>.<br />

These are just a few of the prints. Before I knew it, I was surrounded by beautiful artful prints.<br />
I don't have photographs of the gel plate and the actual print making. It's difficult to stop midway of the creative process to snap photos. I hope you understand. <br />

Look at her, she's emerging from the ashes. This has to be my favorite print. I did mount it onto a card base, however I may just frame her. <br />

Welcome to <a href="https://ritabarakat.com/?p=5195" target="_blank">Rita Barakat's</a> monthly blog hop! This month we are featuring <a href="https://www.aladine.com/en" target="_blank">Aladine</a> products! I used several of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/RitaBarakat?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=694064650&section_id=24738327" target="_blank">Rita's mermaid ephemera</a> and <a href="https://www.aladine.com/en" target="_blank">Aladine's Izink Diamond</a> glitter paint. I found a kraft container that need some TLC. I used the <a href="https://www.aladine.com/en/categorie/156/izink-diamond" target="_blank">Izink Diamond</a> glitter paint in <a href="https://www.aladine.com/en/produit/880/izink-diamond" target="_blank">turquoise</a> and <a href="https://www.aladine.com/en/produit/1055/izink-diamond" target="_blank">caribbean blue</a>. <br />

I pleasantly surprised with the coverage! I used one coat and it dried fast. I added Rita's Mermaid on the container and they look amazing!<br />

That means sorting through clothes, book bags and fresh school supplies, my favorite. Today I am sharing a super quick and fun tote bag. I used <a href="http://craftersedge.com/" target="_blank">Crafter's Edge </a><a href="http://craftersedge.com/S1973/" target="_blank">Crossover II </a>and the <a href="http://craftersedge.com/Mama_and_Baby_Owl/" target="_blank">Mama & Baby Owl Fab Die</a> set.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The <a href="http://craftersedge.com/Mama_and_Baby_Owl/" target="_blank">Mama & Baby Owl</a> die set is the cutest. I sorted through the pieces and decided the Baby Owl was the perfect size for the bag.<br />

<br />
I gathered and trimmed some iron-on fabric scraps from a previous project. After adjusting the pressure on the Crossover II, I was able to die cut all the pieces in one passing. Easy peasy!<br />

I used the Cricut Easy Press to iron-on the owl pieces onto the tote bag. I first pressed the larger owl shape for 10 seconds, followed by the smaller pieces leaving the glitter iron-on last for a total of 30 seconds pressing time. <br />

<br />
Since this is a tote and will not get washed, I'm not overly concern about appliqueing the owl. if I were placing it on a shirt, I would have definitely appliqué to avoid fraying.<br />

My favorite day of the month, BLOG HOP time!

I got to play with their <a href="http://www.fabercastell.com/design-memory-craft-us/products/gift-sets-and-kits/CreatingWithGelatos/770413" target="_blank">Gelato Mixed Media kit</a>! The kit has 10 yummy Gelato colors and everything you need to create some fun mixed media pieces. <br />

<br />
I created the backgrounds and used several of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/RitaBarakat" target="_blank">Rita Barakat</a>'s ephemera available in her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/RitaBarakat" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a>.<br />

<br />
For this card I used the Flamingo die cut from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/620968439/mystical-creatures-unicons-pegasus?ref=shop_home_active_3&frs=1" target="_blank">Mystical Creatures</a> collection. I used the foil paper and image transfers included in the kit. Although this paper is not watercolor paper, it still held up pretty well water colored the Gelatos. I was just careful not over saturated the paper.<br />

<br />
Up next, I used one of the fairies from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/587035108/the-veil-of-the-fairies-collection-5?ref=shop_home_active_7" target="_blank">The Veil of the Fairies</a> collection. I used the Gelatos on black embossed background. After coloring in the embossed image, I covered half with the white gesso from the kit. I waited for it to dry completely, added colored it with Gelatos and then stamped the it with the script rubber stamp from the kit. This kit is seriously loaded!<br />

This card was super fun to create! I used the corrugated media, added gesso, rubbed on the Gelato and then used the stencil included in the kit. I also stamped the script on the back ground. The cute cowgirl is from Rita's <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/637243925/cowgirls-die-cuts-paper-crafting-collage?ref=shop_home_active_6&frs=1" target="_blank">Wild and Free</a> collection.<br />

I used a scissors to cut the banners and a border from the <a href="https://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_36&products_id=823&zenid=vpoamc2h25sc77ru7vsoiqafn5" target="_blank">Texture Sheets Fiesta</a>.

I trimmed the banners and the border to approximately 4" wide. I used white acrylic paint as primer and painted the pieces in green, blue and pink.<br />

I used a Latina Crafter metal word die "celebra" which means celebrate. I cut the word on both card stock and craft foam.<br />

For starters, always remember to use a lightly damp cloth to clean off the laser cut soot on all the pieces. I went with a super trendy paper pad to alter the <a href="https://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15&products_id=1118&zenid=p9a4bko1pph15g7fj2gii5gj71" target="_blank">ATC Bookcase</a>. The complete supply list is at the bottom of this post. I'm using one of my favorite trendy collections by The Paper Studio, Elle Oh Elle. The paper pad is "hey, girl!" with the most adorable sassy girls images.<br />

I used acrylic paint to paint all the edges of the ATC Bookcase. I separated the drawer pieces from the actual pieces that make up the book case. It also helps to determine which pattern paper to use.<br />

<br />
I traced and cut the pattern paper and adhered them to the pieces. I sprayed the Mod Podge Ultra Matte onto the backside of the paper. This made it so easy!<br />
I used Beacon Power-Tac on the tabs to assemble and also to attached the drawer knob.<br />

Today I am sharing my Succulents Forever because I do not have a green thumb and these are perfect.<br />
<br />
I used Crafter's Edge<span class="st">™</span> <a href="http://craftersedge.com/Beautiful_Succulents_Set_1/" target="_blank">Beautiful Succulents Set 1</a> Fab Dies designed by <a href="http://craftersedge.com/shop/designer-collections/tammy-tutterow/" target="_blank">Tammy Tutterow</a>. Fab Dies are made to cut up to 6 layers of fabric, cork, wool felt, leather and other media. The cutting blade is raised slightly higher than your traditional paper crafting dies. Combined with the <a href="http://craftersedge.com/S1973/" target="_blank">Crossover II </a>die cutter it's a perfect match. Since my review of the <a href="http://craftersedge.com/S1973/" target="_blank">Crossover II</a> last week, you can read it <a href="http://www.justyolie.com/2019/06/crafters-edge-crossover-ii-fabric-paper.html" target="_blank">here</a>, I have cut faux leather, fabric, glitter vinyl and now wool felt. Each time perfect cuts. Adjusting the pressure is key to perfect results. <br />

Fab Dies are packaged in a easy store boxes and come with a project sheet with instructions and supply list. The dies are in sealed in a poly bag within the box. <br />

<br />
Wool felt thickness varies from manufacturer. The wool felt I used to cut the succulent layers measured approximately 2 mm. According to the Crossover II cutting guide, Wool Felt is listed at a pressure at 7 and 2 layers. I had to remove one of the layers and ran it through the machine.<br />
It's highly recommend that you don't force the plates through the machine, instead make sure the plates are completely out of the machine and readjust the pressure. <br />

<br />
I cut several layers of each color wool felt. I punched two button holes on the larger succulent layers. I straightened a large paper clip and placed the bottom layers through it. I twisted the paper clip and then secured it with a bit of hot glue.<br />
Next, I used hot glue to assemble the other layers and finally adding them to the paper clip stem.<br />
I inserted the floral foam into the planter and arranged the succulents.<br />

<br />
I added sequins and a tiny bead to the centers. They are perfect. I now have Succulents Forever! {okay, maybe not forever, but for as long as the moths don't get to them}<br />

I was only able to find one of each pattern so the fashion girls will be the front cover the multi color polka dots the inside cover.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I used a seam ripper to carefully remove the zippers and all seams. When I make fabric traveler notebooks, I usually cut 2 pieces of fabric. However since I altered pouches, I had to work with 4 pieces of fabrics.<br />
After I pressed all pieces and sewed the stripped pieces together, then the polka dot to make 2 pieces. I pressed all the seams, then sewed the sides and the top.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I inserted a stabilizer and then sewed the bottom and added the top stitch. There is a seam along the spine that normally wouldn't be there. So I added the elastic closure to the back side of the traveler's notebook. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I prefer a B6 traveler's notebook. I thought of making a smaller one, but because of the proportions of the fashion girls, I would lose them. Leaving at the most 2 complete fashion girls.<br />
<br />

Thanks for visiting and happy planning!JustYoliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15793808639009542946noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111883096345021864.post-57393733446702822652019-06-13T06:00:00.000-07:002019-06-13T06:00:19.652-07:00Crafter's Edge Crossover II Fabric & Paper Cutter - Product ReviewI shared a teaser of my upcoming review for the <a href="http://craftersedge.com/S1973/" target="_blank">Crossover II</a> by <a href="http://craftersedge.com/" target="_blank">Crafter's Edge</a> on social media.Well, here it is. The <a href="http://craftersedge.com/S1973/" target="_blank">Crossover II</a> is a manual die cutter for a variety of materials and the following is my honest review.<br />
<br />
The Crossover II, has adjustable rollers that means adjustable pressure settings. No more shims. No more double passes to get a cut. It cuts multiple layers of fabric in one passing. Following the setting guide in the instruction booklet is important to perfect cuts. The Crossover II is a well designed and well built die cutter. <br />
<br />
Let's start with the unboxing. It was shipped in a double-wall corrugated box and shipping was fast. Delivery took just a few days from Arizona to California. One thing I need to note this is a heavy duty die cutter and the box is heavy.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://craftersedge.com/S1973/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1411" data-original-width="1600" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoxTHf0A_QwgvPINpQ2AU-2mrDJC3r2nhh1DFzjwU8qdVeaHC7DQgNiuo1s5K0TKNwIG-65R8PxDSzSBMBu-yUSKGc8wvnLuMewfBrB8EvFuRMcKH7JhuKecfB7FoSs0uQKDWKZESDHHiN/s320/crafter%2527s+edge+crossover+ii+1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Once I removed the retail box, the Crossover II and plates were nicely nestled in sturdy packaging foam. The machine itself weighs approximately 23lbs. getting a good grip of the carrying handles was key in removing it from the packaging. Next, I removed the cardboard from the handle, then pull on the button towards the machine to release the white grip handle. The grip handle folds down for easy transport or storage. <br />

<br />
The <a href="http://craftersedge.com/S1973/" target="_blank">Crossover II</a> comes with one decorative Fab die, Kayla's Embellishment set, plates and instruction booklet. The the Base and Clear plates both measure 11" x 12". The Metal adaptor plate is the small size, measuring 8" x 10". A <a href="http://craftersedge.com/S1991/" target="_blank">larger Metal adaptor plate</a> (10.75" x 11.5") is available to purchase separately.<br />
<br />
The sides of the die cutter are secured with strong Velcro, that's the yellowish dots you see on the inside panel. The adjustable pressure setting dial is on top with arrows pointing + -<br />

With the sides open and laying flat on your work surface, the Crossover II measures approximately<br />
20.75"l x 12"w x 7" h<br />
The sides create a platform for the plates to sit on once they go through the machine. This is a plus for me, I don't have to worry about the plates sliding off, dies and material falling over.<br />

Let's talk about the Fab dies. I immediately noticed the weight of the metal die and the higher raised blade. The Fab dies are meant to cut all types of fabric and in multiple layers. The quality is on point! <a href="http://craftersedge.com/shop/fab-dies/" target="_blank">Crafter's Edge</a> has plenty of designs from appliques, quilting and English paper piecing dies.<br />

Following the pressure setting is so important to achieve a perfect cut. For my first project, I used faux leather. I followed the pressure setting guide by first finding the faux leather listed under Media. Next column is the Setting followed by the number layers.<br />
Please note: the rollers of the machine are visible. If crafting with little ones or around pets, please be careful with little hands or paws.<br />

I adjusted the roller pressure setting to 7 and next is the sandwich:<br />
1. White Base plate<br />
2. Metal adaptor plate<br />
3. Faux leather<br />
4. Fab die with blade facing down<br />
5. Clear plate<br />
6. Run it through the Crossover II<br />

One passing. One beautiful cut. I was expecting to really put some muscle into cranking the handle. There was some light pressure however, the machine is the muscle. It's a work horse. I was pleasantly surprise to see that it did in fact cut through the faux leather in one passing. <br />

I created a faux leather folio. I used the sheets of faux leather, glued them with Beacon Adhesives Power-Tac. I then glued the die cuts onto the front cover. I used strands of jute to create a braided closure.<br />

<br />
My final thoughts. I highly recommend the Crossover II. The adjustable pressure setting is pretty amazing. The ease of running the plates through the machine was a major plus for me. You can also use your existing wafer dies and steel rule dies following the cutting guide. I noted the measurements when fully opened at approximately 20.75"l x 12"w x 7" h . It will take up some table space. If transporting it to workshops, it is has some weight to it at 23lbs. However, keep in mind it is an extremely well made machine. Crafter's Edge offers a 2 year warranty along with great customer service.<br />

I have a quick and easy layered card to share with you today. I used <a href="http://www.ritabarakat.com/" target="_blank">Rita Barakat's</a> <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/608145996/musical-face-stamp-sing?ref=shop_home_active_13" target="_blank">Sing rubber stamp</a>. I also found an older DCWV stack with adorable prints.<br />
<br />
I stamped Sing with black Memento ink and colored her with alcohol markers. I then used Westcott non-stick scissors to fussy cut.<br />

<br />
I used a paper trimmer to cut all the layers, assembled and adhered it all with Scrapbook Adhesives tape runner. I used a printed sentiment from the paper pad, hello darling that went perfectly with Sing.<br />

First, with a damp paper towel I cleaned off the soot residue left behind by the laser cutter. Then I took the blue acrylic paint and I applied one coat to each panel and allowed to dry.<br />
<br />
Applying the next three colors were the same technique; apply the paint with a dry brush sporadically, before it dried, I removed some of the paint with a paper towel. The paint colors are listed below.<br />

I purchased 3/4" x 11/16" hinges from my local hardware store. I painted the hinges first with black chalk paint. Using a toothpick, I applied Power-Tac adhesive to the backside of the hinges. After the glue dried, I lightly painted them with brown acrylic paint for rust look.<br />

So here is the color inspiration. It's from a mixed media heavy embossing powder made by Emerald Creek for <a href="https://ritabarakat.com/" target="_blank">Rita Barakat</a>. It is called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/618116660/embossing-powder-midnight-magic-stamping?ref=pla_similar_listing_top-1" target="_blank">Midnight Magic</a> and get this, it glows in the dark.<br />
I applied a heavy coat of embossing ink and dusted the <a href="https://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=51&products_id=487&zenid=vpoamc2h25sc77ru7vsoiqafn5">Wood Medallions</a> with the embossing powder. <br />

<br />
Here are the acrylic paints used. What do you think? Did I match up the colors to coordinate with the embossing powder? <br />

We hope you are enjoying the inspiration today, there is still more to see so let's get started.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://ritabarakat.com/?p=4918" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="735" data-original-width="735" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaFMC-jxm6KkWwbc7jP4MeAcNPBpnz5JlHRlU-WreosDSwe-J-XzsWaK8oKgGn2YgyyjSwJ4a8DPN3zwgswwnFdmmpqEbdbxTXRLdPDLSfYijdyDmMBQQV8UtHR0WdGEkgeAyWJGxFpxln/s320/styletech+rb+blog+hop.JPG" width="275" /></a></div>
I used Rita's latest die cuts, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/694064650/mermaid-tails-die-cuts-ephermera-art?ref=shop_home_active_2" target="_blank">Marvelous Mermaids</a> available through her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/RitaBarakat" target="_blank">Etsy</a> shop. Deciding which mermaids and vinyl to use may have taken longer than the actual project. Seriously beautiful mermaids and some super fun StyleTech Craft vinyl.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGVmj5wo86QxwvAeAhu5Z8Kdlq7fv8mfrprJm0OywvFpRJZqIQNFliX3Few5f5KnpYA8j3pCG7gK3GN891rhmp1iCZi3CO5geAfQJNnFCVQPvlw_e8-G7irARLfbdXdKnJ0HOxbEusimwA/s1600/mermaid+treat+bag+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1085" data-original-width="1600" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGVmj5wo86QxwvAeAhu5Z8Kdlq7fv8mfrprJm0OywvFpRJZqIQNFliX3Few5f5KnpYA8j3pCG7gK3GN891rhmp1iCZi3CO5geAfQJNnFCVQPvlw_e8-G7irARLfbdXdKnJ0HOxbEusimwA/s400/mermaid+treat+bag+1.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I used metal die to cut the shapes needed to decorate small treat bags. I used <a href="https://www.styletechcraft.com/products/textured/" target="_blank">StyleTech Craft's Texture</a> vinyl, super gorgeous tapestry in royal blue and <a href="https://www.styletechcraft.com/products/ultrametallics/" target="_blank">Ultra Metallic Gold</a>.<br />
<br />
I die cut the frame and used the transfer tape to help with placement. Before I transferred the vinyl onto the gift bag, I placed the inside of the frame in the Texture vinyl onto the transfer tape. I then transferred both pieces of the frame at once onto the front of the treat bag.<br />
<br />
I also trimmed the extra white around the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/694064650/mermaid-tails-die-cuts-ephermera-art?ref=shop_home_active_2" target="_blank">Marvelous Mermaids</a> for a more finished look.<br />

<br />
I die cut the treat bags on card stock and assembled them. I used Scrapbook Adhesives foam dots to adhere the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/694064650/mermaid-tails-die-cuts-ephermera-art?ref=shop_home_active_2" target="_blank">Marvelous Mermaids</a>. <br />

<br />
I die cut a tag shape on vellum and then stamped the sentiment "she was wild as the sea". In this closeup you can see the gorgeous detail of the Marvelous Mermaids and the Texture Tapestry on the vinyl. Love it!<br />

<br />
I used Ken Oliver's Color Burst to create a watercolor background. When using Color Burst powder, make sure to gently tap the bottom of the bottle onto your water color paper. Don't squeeze unless you are looking for a heavy pigmented water color background.<br />
<br />
After the Color Burst dried, I inked the <a href="https://www.artfoamies.com/store/p805/Rita_Barakat%3A_Princess.html" target="_blank">Art Foamie Princess</a> with black Memento ink. I used a black Le Pen Drawing pen to scribble the frame.<br />
I colored in her eyes with a brown alcohol marker so she wouldn't get lost. <br />

<br />
I then splattered gold metallic ink masking off her face. Adding the "keep believing" was an after thought. The full sentiment did not fit on the card, so I masked it off and only stamped "keep believing".<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I added white pearly sequins and she was complete. She is gorgeous and I can't wait to add her to my art journal.<br />

I had extra images printed on vellum and just envisioned Red with this adorable raincoat.<br />

<br />
Using Westcott's non-stick scissors, I cut all the pieces including some of Red's limbs, ouch. I then adhered the raincoat with Scrapbook Adhesives tape runner.<br />

I digital created the sentiment, 'always look for rainbows', printed and then used a circle punch and popped it up with Scrapbook Adhesives foam dots.<br />

Spring made an appearance with the Super Bloom, but then quickly disappeared. The plan was to make a Summer <a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=1063" target="_blank">Lantern</a>, but I'm still in the mood for Spring. I used the <a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=1063" target="_blank">Lantern Cage Style</a> and added a faux patina with lots of blooms.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0yK-o5B59cCdEZj06ii69ymto7GZZRCWZGK_QAg9DMYM0bng_aRv2QCt9QzoJ5qbJDM5dpcbNfZG2gB_bav-JrMzkoTyDvrBlAbi9pv6GCCs6RFNhpG9ew1aTHA71uJYGJtKkBjaGG_yP/s1600/spring+lantern+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1368" data-original-width="1600" height="273" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0yK-o5B59cCdEZj06ii69ymto7GZZRCWZGK_QAg9DMYM0bng_aRv2QCt9QzoJ5qbJDM5dpcbNfZG2gB_bav-JrMzkoTyDvrBlAbi9pv6GCCs6RFNhpG9ew1aTHA71uJYGJtKkBjaGG_yP/s320/spring+lantern+1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
To create the faux patina, I first painted all the pieces, front and back with metallic copper and allowed the paint to completely dry.<br />
I then painted the pieces with black chalkboard paint and before the paint dried, wiped it off with a paper towel.<br />
Next, I painted the pieces with aqua drift and again, before the paint dried, wiped it off with a paper towel. <br />
<br />

<br />
I then assembled the Lantern using a bit of Beacon Power-Tac adhesives to secure it in place. <br />

<br />
I added pretty blooms and a couple of resin butterflies. <br />

Here's a closeup of the beautiful faux patina. I added the butterfly as doorknob to open the lantern door.<br />

Can't believe Summer is almost here and you know what that means....it's gonna be Mermaid Season! Today I am sharing a fun mermaid card using <a href="https://ritabarakat.com/" target="_blank">Rita Barakat</a>'s ephemera collection, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/629162225/mermaid-tails-die-cuts-ephermera-art?ref=pla_similar_listing_bot-8" target="_blank">Mermaid Tails</a>. <br />

I used trimmed off the white outline around the image and darken her skin with alcohol markers. I wanted the hair to flow, so I cut into the waves of her hair. I gently curled her hair and added pop dots to raise the wavy hair.<br />
I wanted the appearance of her under the sea, so if you look closely, I strategically added pop dots to hips but kept her tail flat onto the card. <br />

I used dove tail banner dies to die cut and a <a href="https://yolie.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10643&ci=12327" target="_blank">circle tag die</a>. I used an ombre ink pad and stamped the sentiment onto the tag. I embellished with sequins throughout and added a bit of silver floss.<br />

I used several several acrylic paints by Plaid Crafts including black Chalk Paint, Mod Podge Matte and Mod Podge Spray On.<br />

I created the sand texture using Plaid's Mod Podge Matte and sand. I applied onto the corrugated page and after it dried, I dry brushed Jute, Dark Brown and Black acrylic paints.<br />
To create the heavy rust, I brushed on Mod Podge Matte different spots of the gears, then sprinkled cinnamon, allowed to dry, then added a second coat. After it dried, I lightly sponged on the Jute, Dark Brown and Black acrylic paints. Once the paint dried, I added patina and bronze wax for a metallic finish. I used this method throughout the album.<br />

I added plenty of pockets and journal spots throughout the album. Lots of inked and distressed edges too. I used Mod Podge Spray On to adhere the pattern papers onto the chipboard pages.<br />

I painted the<a href="https://www.avintagegirlshop.com/products/vintage-dress-form-chipboard" target="_blank">Vintage Dress Form Chipboard</a> and stamped the bodice with a script stamp. Once it dried, I sanded the edges and lightly sanded the bodice. I then added a tassel necklace. <br />
