Cadence Beton Paste is amazing, it dries quick and is just perfect to give concrete look/effect to your project. The paste has some grains and fiber inside which adds extra texture to your project which is just beautiful.

 How I altered the Wooden Frame ....

• First of all I have cleaned the wooden frame with dry cloth to remove all dirt or any dust particle.
• Now with help of spatula apply Cadence Beton effect relief paste all over the surface.
• Once you have applied the paste, just by lifting the spatula you can messy effect as I have managed to achieve. (picture right after text for close up shot )
• Next randomly apply green moss effect paint light and dark where ever you want.
• I have used Dress my craft fresh green moss randomly and highlighted the same with prima art ingredients and candence art stones.
• Lastly I have decorated the frame with using beautiful Bob n Betty Roseate paper collection Motif sheets, mudra chipzebs and prima shabby resins.

BLAZING BUNCHES ---- A FABULOUS PAPER COLLECTION BY BOB N BETTY

Hello everyone!!!

This is Anita here.
Papers and especially beautiful pattern papers are every crafters delight. We collect them, hoard them and use them lovingly to create beautiful projects. So in a way, paper is the foundation and essence of any project. And so I present a beautiful collection by Bob n Betty -a brand -made in India that makes exclusive pattern papers to suit every crafters need.
The Blazing Bunches is a unique paper collection adorned with bunches of peony flowers that are so beautiful that I really had a hard time running my scissors through them.
These papers have been exclusively created for Crafters Corner and are only available here.

BLAZINGBUNCHES-a paper collection adorned with bunches of blooming Peony flowers with a background of black and white. Words fail when it comes to describe the beauty of these designer papers. Some pages have dots and some have layers of Peony blooms waiting to become a part of a memory album, or a time piece.

You have it right !!! I have two projects with me. One showcases the beauty of the Blazing Bunches papers as a mini album with subtle mixed media done on the pages. I have used Zutter binding for my album and have used tags and photo mats in between the pages . An album treasures all the memories and when combined with beautiful papers, these memories become a treasure.

Here are some inside pictures of the mini album along with detailed pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

Memories become a treasure with Time. Such is the relation between memories. Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters and the memories that we cherish become priceless with time. So I have another project where I have used 3D decoupage on a Wall Time Piece . I have layers of flowers with wood graining in the centre to highlight the beauty of the flowers that are strewn throughout the paper collection.

Here are some close pictures of the Time Piece

 

 

 

 

I hope you like these projects as much as I enjoyed making them. All I can say is having these papers make me so happy that I feel real beauty finally lies within the sheets of my paper stash.

Blazing Bunches paper pad is exclusively available at Crafters Corner

 

Do leave your comments. I love hearing from you. Thank you.

 

 

AMOR MIO AND SHABBY CHIC CARDS WITH BOB N BETTY

Hello everyone !!!!

Love is the most profound emotion known to human beings.  A feeling that brings one closer to divinity.  Love knows no bounds and is free from all shackles of life. And when the heart finds true love, it lasts forever. Life is relived, redefined and reborn when love enters. Amor Mio--- My Love opens new gates of emotions for two people .

This beautiful feeling, the essence of love, the romance in this relation is so beautifully captured in the Amor Mio paper collection by Bob n Betty. Each design takes us on a journey where love is paramount . The prints perfectly replicate the feelings of two loving souls.

Using these papers , I have created two shabby chic cards. But there is lot more you can do with these. So have a look at my creations with these wonderful designed love themed papers. You can find them here in Crafters Corner.

This is a step card. Such dimensional cards are perfect for bringing out the beautiful details of the subject.

To create this card--- Measure and cut a card stock 7” x 11”. Score at 2” , 4” and fold to make the first step.  Fold down the the remaining card stock to coincide the top with the base.  Use a similar embellishment made from paper and die cut on the top. Add a mat layer using any spellbinders label die. I have used Go create Dies here. Cut out the design from the pattern paper for the mat layers. Add a circle design at the base on a Spellbinder die. .

  Use a similar embellishment made from paper and die cut on the top.

Distress the edges with Aged Mahogany Distress ink. Some texturing is also done using distress inks and stencils.

Decorate the card with Mulberry flowers.

The second card is made using the Beautiful frames with roses-a design included in the collection.

The finished card measures 7.5 “ x 5.5 “ .

Cut out two frames from the paper pad. Remove the middle section keeping the roses intact. Postion diagonally on top of each other.

Add a window die cut in the bottom layer. Cut a filigree circle die cut and add at the base and top as shown.

Add some texture using modelling paste and stencil.

Decorate with mulberry flowers and ribbon.

Add a vellum quote to finish the card.

I hope you liked my creations. Do check out the amazing collection of papers by Bob n Betty available exclusively at Crafters Corner.

Keep crafting and have a good day!!!

Decoupaging on Plastic Tutorial and Liquid Leaf

Decoupaged Box

     Hi crafters Dr Sonia here to share a 2nd project with Liquid Leaf .Sharing a mini tutorial on decoupaging a plastic container  with  gorgeous  Bob n Betty papers .I  jazzed up the edges of the container with fabulous  Copper Liquid Leaf to bring out a uniform and rich metallic copper theme to the project.

Heartfelt creations Botanical Wings  flowers

The flowers were made by heat embossing in copper some Heartfelt creations Botanical Wings  stamps.

Heat Embossed Flower

The heat embossed parchment flowers were randomly inked with Distress Inks to match the colors of the florals in the pattern paper.

Pearls placed with Crystal Katana

I have been adding lots of tiny pearls to my projects ever since I got the Crystal Katana as its so quick and easy!

Crystal Katana and Tanto

Used the Crystal Katana to add the pearls on the edges of the paper and on the tiny plastic butterflies

Crystal Katana in Action

I used the  Made in India Ornate Annie papers designed by the talented Deepika Sharma and which is sold exclusively at Crafters Corner .

Bob N Betty Pattern Papers

Here is the plastic container I altered by decoupaging

Altered Project

For anyone wishing to start decoupage these are the Basic tools of the trade!

Decoupaging on Plastic Tutorial

1. Decoupage Glue- most popular is Modpodge
2. Scissors - normal and fine if you want to fuzzy cut pictures to decoupage
3. Scale- to measure out the sides of your projects and pattern paper
4. Pen/ pencil to help mark your pattern paper and cut
5. Squeegee- I have used a different type of plastic squeegee in my Sospeso Trasparente projects which is rather nice but totally in love with the squeegee in the Mod podge kit because of its rubbery nature and wedge spage at its ends which allows one to reach awkward nooks and corners like I will show in the subsequent pictures
6. Not shown in the picture : Sanding / distressing tool and
7. Brushes to apply modpodge - use sponge brushes or regular brushes

Decoupaging on Plastic Tutorial

Measure your project and cut pattern paper to line it. I personally like to cut slightly less than the dimension of the side to be covered as I hate to later sand down and cut the paper once it is stuck to a project.

Decoupaging on Plastic Tutorial

If your plastic is super smooth ,sand it to give it a grip .

Apply decoupage glue using a brush as shown above[ the brush I am using above comes with the Plaid Decoupage Kit] - dont add too much glue as it will just wrap and wrinkle your paper.

Decoupage kit

Stick on your pattern paper starting from one end of your project.

Decoupaging on Plastic Tutorial

You get the best results on decoupaging if you remove excess glue from under you paper and here comes the advantage of having a squeegee. Use the squeegee to firmly but gently [ too much force and you will slide your paper off the project!] slide over your paper and the excess glue will come out from the edge of the paper at the end and you can simply wipe it off.

Decoupaging on Plastic Tutorial

Using the squeegee you can easily slide into corners which are otherwise difficult to reach as you can see in the picture below.

Decoupaging on Plastic Tutorial

I have used the squeegee  to get a proper adhesion of the pattern paper in the depths of the container I was lining .

Decoupaging on Plastic Tutorial

Once the paper had dried you can give a top coat of mod podge if you wish and later seal it off with a varnish if you want.

Decoupaged Container

Notice the uncovered rather unsightly looking exposed edges of plastic  in the project photo above-- well I could line it with paper but that would involve quite  a bit of hard work so I took the easier and more fun way out by painting the edges with Liquid Leaf .

Liquid Leaf

I have already introduced you to this amazing product Liquid Leaf in the post her e: Metallic effects with Liquid Leaf

Liquid Leaf

You can see the beautiful metallic shimmer of the paint in the pictures above and below.

Liquid Leaf

I used a thin brush to paint the edges of the container using Copper Liquid Leaf and added matching flowers with Copper heat embossing!

Decoupaged Container

And here is how the decoupaged container looks from the side
