Photo Sleeve Layout

Hello everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new tutorial by on an amazing product recently launched in our store! 

Its none other than the lovely sequin sets by Dress my Craft! 

I'm sure you have heard about this lovely new Indian Crafting brand! 

Well if you haven't let me introduce you to it! Dress my Craft is an Indian Crafting Brand its a brainchild of Shalini Mittal she is the owner of our favourite website Crafters Corner! 

Dress my Craft has come up with amazing products and there is more coming up soon! 

We have a wonderful news for all our followers outside India the products under this brand will be available Internationally! Isn't that amazing?  

 So without much ado lets get started! 

Dress my Craft has come up with 12 sets of sequins and a set of lovely clay hearts! I've shared a picture of 10 sets and the hearts down below. 

Each box is unique in its own way there is a special mix of sequins in each box different shapes, textures, sizes and ofcourse colours! You name it and we have it? 

Well in the recent weeks Im sure you all have been going through the amazing posts by my fellow Dt's on how to use these beauties.

 For the followers who know me, you all know Im obsessed with glitters, sequins, embellishments and thing that add BLING - I LOVE IT! 

So when I was sent a DT pack full of these amazing sequins I had my brain running full of ideas!

  I wanted to make something different something new? So I came up with this super cute layout! Now you can make this get it framed or use it as a page in the album! 

So lets get started shall we? 

Look how pretty these look? 

Love the shape and texture of these! 

So I started with one of my recent purchase - The amazing Dovecraft Bohemian paper pad. The prints are gorgeous it has textured, Shimmer and printed sheets.

I started by selecting few prints for todays layout! 

Now for this layout I needed a photo sleeve and since Im making a 12*12 layout I've used a 12*12 photo sleeve by We are Memory Keepers are store has a variety of photo sleeves you can check them here - LINK

I started off by trimming my papers and making a rough layout deciding what goes were 

Next I fussy cut some butterflies from this  gorgeous pattern paper and added to my rough layout. 

Now lets get started. I stamped this sentiment by Kaisercraft with Stampin up ink and layered it up with some pattern paper 

Next i printed my name on some cream cardstock and bored punched it using my fav Martha- Doily lace punch I just cant get enough of it! I've also punched some butterflies with this martha stweart punch and added it to this piece. 

Lets start fusing now.

All of you who dont know about the fuse tool let me brief you up.Its a tool by We are Memory keepers It has 2 attachments once plugged in, it heats up and you can use it to seal materials in the photo sleeve. You can fuse pictures, papers, sequins, glitters, embellishments and more.

Before closing this area I added 2 different sets of sequins adding the perfect touch of bling! They just look amazing! 

For my next tile I've used these pretty butterflies by Heidi swap! 

And ofcourse some more sequins! I just cant do without bling! 

For the remaining tiles i've used a varierty of embellishments. Like this wycinanka cut out that i painted with Dusty attic paint and the next tile filled with small resin embellishments from the store. The possibilities are endless!  

Hope you all enjoyed today's post!

Feel free to ask any questions. Hoping to see you all make inspired layouts! 

Lots of love

Craft with DRESS MY CRAFT

Hello Everyone!  

Happy to be back after a bit. I'm here to shake up the year 2017 and provide you with a photo tutorial so you can shake it up as well. I feel stronger and more confident to get back into card making and scrapbook making! Yes, I have made my First Shaker card, and cute gift box & Mixed media scrap-book layout, actually i challenge myself to make these three with Dress my craft products 

This cute box was so much fun to make with Dress my craft‘s New sequence and Prima marketing soft color paper. Just love it so much! Yes, I’m a tiny-mini-cute-mind-type of person…:-) love small and cute gifts!

Here is my cute and wondering layout, It is just beautiful! I feel it, Because its not my usual style. After long time i tried water color layout

Jaya Raguvanshi...Crafters corner previous DT member, she is my inspiration to make this scrap layout :-) 

I love all aspects of stamping, coloring, embellishing  scrap-booking, and mixed media work but I suppose my style is mainly altered mixed media. Those of you who know me know that I love making my own  style mini creations. So sharing 3 projects with you... how i made these with basic steps

And my first ever shaker card, 

Here is the photo tutorial in one video

Thank you for your visit and 

I hope you've enjoyed my today's post

Glitter and shimmer with DRESS MY CRAFT !

Good morning!

Rupa here with a different kind of inspiration for you this month. I am here to share with you the lovely glitter and sparkle sequins byDRESS MY CRAFT. You have to see it to believe it…to see the range and colors. 

There are 13 different colors, all of them pastel and subtle but high on glitter and the bonus is the smart jars that they come in! Yes, the recycler in me is already thinking about the empty jars, lol! The names of these sequins too are equally unique and fancy!

Earlier this month, our DT Sampada had created some amazing shaker embellishments with these sequins. As I am not a card maker, the challenge on me to create something in my style was building up and I admit I had a few sleepless nights!

So, here I am sharing how I have used these cute, adorable sequins MY WAY…in altered art and recycled crafting.

Here we go…The pictures should explain how I used them If you do have queries, do leave a comment and I shall get back to you.

PROJECT 1- I decided to make what I love making these days…junk journals with these sequins! Confused???? 

I made a pregnancy journal/mother hood book for a dear friend who is expecting I decided   to go with a neutral tone of sequins here and chose the one in peach…PINK PASTEL SEQUINS to do up this journal.

Here is how I have decorated the cover with the sequins. It very well compliments the image and I glad how its adds that bit of glitter and glamour to the front cover. A sneek into the inside of the book…I hope to add some sequins to some of the pages randomly!

PROJECT 2- What I LOVE most…recycling and altered art! I am sure many of you have this lying in your kitchen…all clogged and of no use!

Wondering what it is….the dear old faithful TEA STRAINER, lol!

 A tea lover that I am, I could not bear to throw these strainers and decided to make a home décor item and incorporate some sequins into them!

Here is what I did…

Don’t you think the birds have found a cozy little home! The aroma of the tea should keep them warm too! I have covered the rim of the strainer wit these lovely green sequins…BLOSSOM WITH GREEN SEQUINS! True to the name, it does add that brightness to this project. The lush greenery of nature combined with the warmth of the coconut coir does make it livable for these birds!

 I made a little distressed hanging sign here and the handle has been covered with cotton rope and I have distressed the edges with sequins! 

I like the play of sequins here with a little vintage and distressed back ground!

What do you have to say…now don’t throw those strainers out!

PROJECT 3-Moving to bit of mixed media that I am playing around these days, I decided to make a door plate for my little princess! She has a pink room and I thought I will make one with pink and purple!

However, I don’t enjoy this combo, I decided t o make a mixed media background for it. I played with some paints, stencils, dry brushing and created a background on a chipboard piece.

 I then cut out the alphabets using Spellbinders die and alternated the pink and purple sequins it… PRINCESSMIX SEQUINS and ANGEL SEQUINS ! Even the names were perfect for this project. I sprayed some inks on the sequins too and finally embellished with some pink flowers too! Here is how it looks!

My daughter found this project the best…for obvious reasons, lol!

PROJECT 4- Valentine’s day is around the corner and so thought to make something along those lines! Here I have altered a little packaging box. 

I made a shaker heart using the Tim Holtz alterations die and have filled it with the flavor of the season…yes.. LITTLE HEARTS! 

These don’t have the glitter and sparkle and are just right for this project.

The box opens to reveal a mini accordion album which obviously is incomplete without the photos ! I have made a pull out with the mini heart die and have used some sequins there.

Also you see this mini bottle filled with SAY IT WITH HEARTSSEQUINS! Perfect as the name suggests…say it.. I have a little message note squeezed into the bottle along with the sequins!

 A cupid charm adds to the plot and makes it an adorable gift for that special person, what say???

PROJECT 5- Frankly, by now I was drained! I couldn’t think of any other way to use these…there was a creative block in me for a couple of days! It was only when my little one remarked saying..”amma, only you get such lovely craft goodies in courier” !...I decided I need to involve her in my next project!

The joy on her face when I told her if she wanted to play with these sequins is priceless!

So here are some kiddo projects…simple to do and makes them happy too!

So, got her to alter 2 mini liquor bottles. 

I just applied white glue all over it and asked her to roll it on a heap of sequins! I have used yellow and teal here…SUNSHINE YELLOW and PLAY WITH GREEN SEQUINS.

 Next I asked her sprinkle some blue sequins…SEA BREEZE SEQUINS on a T- lite holder. 

She was thrilled and amused that I let her use my craft supplies! Such simple pleasures these kids have, wish I could be content like her!

This is all I have for you today! So what are you waiting for…grab those jars of sequins now and think out of the box to use them!

Until my next creative journey,

Happy crafting and recycling.

Cheers,

Rupa
