Hi friends, Dr Sonia here with an easy to make yet fabulous looking Mini Album and a matching handmade gift.
Good quality card-stock is such a wonderful staple to have handy especially to make handmade albums.
I was especially thrilled when Shalini introduced some fabulous quality papers under her brand Dress My Craft and here are my top picks-
the metallic gold, the full range of black card-stocks, the mirror papers and the gorgeous fabric papers!
If you have ever folded an accordion you will know that you need a really good quality paper .This special accordion album with multiple folds and flaps was made using the 400g black card stock from Dress My Craft
This is how one side of the accordion looks .Alternating pages have flaps which fold down and look interesting and unique when displayed !
The other side of the accordion album has flaps which unfold up
I used Graphic 45 papers throughout this particular album.
I used some handmade clay embellishments and gorgeous Dress My Craft hearts and rosebuds on the cover page!
This mini album has 7 pages and 6 flaps and can hold 25 photos. It is a versatile design and using good quality card stock you can add more pages and flaps and even pop up elements!
Here is the video showing the album in action and though I have made this mini using dies from Crealies[ details on my blog] in the video I have shown a simplified version you can make using just scissors, card-stock and glue!
Mini albums are fabulous personalised gifts and sharing a simple matching gift idea!
The cute dome is from Dress My Craft and you can use it to create all kinds of themed mini dioramas!
In keeping with the romantic theme of my album I created tiny foamiran rosebuds using foamiran sheets, Artists oil pastels and Cheery Lynn Large rose dies!
Made a base using some wooden discs left over from some carpentry work at my home.
I have always loved using corrugated paper and was thrilled to see it as a new addition to Crafters Corner. Corrugated paper is such a versatile medium and especially perfect for covering curved surfaces.
Took a strip of corrugated paper to cover the rough edges of the wooden disc and wrapped the pretty lace[ also from Dress My Craft ] around it and finished it off with a cute ready made satin bow!
I hope you liked this mini album design and the dome idea.
Hello,
Tejal here today with another Product demo. Today I'm showcasing two products in one Video and hope that you like them!
One is the Ranger's Crackle Paint...I'm using the Clear Rock Candy...you can see all the colors we have in the store here! You get them in all the colors of the distress ink plus a few more...like the metallic colors in Brass, Pewter and Bronze. Then there's Clear and the White picket fence.
So on to the next product that I'm talking about..
The Frantage Shabby White Embossing enamel...this is one of the coolest embossing powders ever...Check out the Video to know more...
Here are some of the close ups of the projects and crackle effect I show in the Video..
This is the flower with small crackles because of the thin layer of paint
This is the flower with the larger cracks because of the thick layer of crackle paint on it!
Hope you enjoyed the Video and please leave any comments or queries below..
Tejal here with another product demo...Today I bring you the very versatile Embossing paste....I had been itching to try my hands on this product and when Shalini got these into the store, I had to try them out and bring a demo for you guys!!
Its a bit long (any surprise there??? ) I'm covering the following points in the video,
Basics of how to use the paste
Adding color or tinting your paste
Adding glitter over your paste
(Open the picture in a new tab for seeing the sparkly glitter!)
Adding embossing powder and heat embossing for added dimension.
Take your time to watch it, and as always leave me a comment with questions if you have any....Compliments are also accepted!! :D
Tejal here with another video. Today I'm playing with Gelatos. In my last Mixed Media Canvas Video, I used these Faber Castell Gelatos and I got a few questions as to what they are and how they work....so I thought of reviewing it for you and showing you how to use them...
I love Gelatos....now that I know how smooth and creamy and buttery they are (and no calories at all!!) its just fun to use them..
You can use these on Canvas, Paper, Fabric, Veneers, MDF, watercolor papers etc..and it will give a beautiful result everytime!!
So hop on the Video and join me in exploring this wonderful art Medium.
Here are the close up's of the techniques I showed in the Video.
As always, if you have any questions or queries, please feel free to get in touch with us...or leave us a comment!
Its Tejal here...and today I'm reviewing the Prima Color Bloom Sprays. Absolutely gorgeous colors and oh the ease of spraying!! Nothing like it!!

And if that wasn't all, I have my very first Mixed Media Canvas to share with you.Please be kind in your comments.

So having said that...I would love to see you try a simple canvas and share with us at Crafters Corner.

The Chatterbox queen is back with another Back to Basics Video for you. Sometimes when we learn a lot of advanced techniques we sometimes forget the basics. So Here's a refresher course for those who wish to learn, and this is especially for the New beginners to the huge and unending world of Stamping.
Since I talk so much, the Video is in two parts.
Part one Covers the Stamps and the Inks.
Part Two Covers Four simple yet essential Stamping Techniques.
Part one
Correction
In this Video I keep saying Hero Arts inks are Hero Hues..They are in fact Shadow Inks. Sorry for that confusion.
If there are any doubts, any questions or even any particular Techniques that you would like me to show on Video...Please leave a comment and I'll surely do a video for you.
Tejal here with a repeat of my two previous posts....I had spoken about the Perfect Layers Ruler and the Goodbye Static Pad in my previous two posts....But I could not do a video.
Hence, I'm bag with a Video Review of the same two products. I feel a video gives you a better idea and perception than any picture can. So there isn't much to post...since I've covered everything in my previous posts.....
So enjoy the two Videos and do leave your comments and feed back below. It means a lot when you appreciate all the research that goes into each of my Videos.
Hello Everyone...the Video Queen is back...with another looong video...(short videos don't seem to be my style!! )
Today I'm talking about using the WRMK Envelope Punch board .. which is our product of the month...All our Dt's are using the various Punch boards to show how they can be used. Keep a watch on the beautiful projects they make and tutorials to follow!!
In this Video, I'm showing you how to use a punch board, Making Envelope boxes to hold your cards and envelopes . Also I'm comparing the MS Score board Envelope Tool with the WRMK Envelope Punch Board.
So hope you Enjoy the video as much as I had fun making it.
Here are the measurements for making an Envelope Box for any size ( from the 66 sizes that are on the Envelope Punch board)
Your paper size will go up by 1 1/4th inch from the size mentioned on the board...all around.
Your score line moves 1/8th inch from the one mentioned on the board.
Your second score line will be 1inch ahead of the previous score line.
These measurements will make no sense, until you watch how I make the box Envelope. So take some time out...watch the video...tell me how awesome I am.... (lol) and go right ahead and buy this Punch board...it will make your life easier. I can bet on it!!
