The Lazy Owl Designs: scrap

{ Wooden Accordian-Fold Album }

Hey guys!

It's been a while since I posted on my blog so here is the long over-due post about this interesting new project I completed a few months back.

Supplies: Wooden piece, Cardstock - Brown, Black, Vellum; Die cuts - DCAM Tag, Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch;
Embellishments - Pearls, twine, brads; Tools - hot glue gun, black ink pad;

I was sent some inspiration for this by one of my oh-so-dorable customers and I figured to give it a shot since it looked so chic and classy!

For the insides, I used a 4 inch wide strip of paper and created folds (or score-marks) every 3 inch. Edited and printed the photographs on 300 GSM matte sheet of paper and added tags for journaling.

The covers, the *most* interesting part of this entire project, were cut-out and sanded by my regular frame guy on my request. Yes, I have a "frame" guy who frames a lot of my projects every month *LOL*

I finally added some finishing touches using twine, metallic brad and a few fluttering butterflies.

I hope you find some inspiration in my work.

See you guys soon with some COOL news!

LOADS of bling.. { and a tutorial }

Today I have a tutorial using LOADS of this super super awesome Pie Lane Glitter and Silhouette SD!

NOTE - You can use your scrap stash for the card! *wink*

Using double sided paper tape/ adhesive, cover a piece of paper..

Cut out your desired shape using Silhouette or other die-cut machine.

Remove the backing and GET MESSY! ;)

Cover the entire shape using chunky glitter and tap off the excess.

Result : A SUPER FABBIE CARD (I am pretty self obsessed!)

Supplies : CS - White, Kraft, Crimson Red; Stamps: MSE; Inks: Chestnut Brown; Embellishments: Pearls, Jute, Pie Lane Glitter; Others: Silhouette SD

The jute was a sweet RAK from dear Y! :)

beaded flower

Card and links..

Here's the card for Divya's challenge.. m soo sry for the late submission.. :)

I embossed the hand-cut CS pieces to add a bit of a texture to it..

The tiger striped ribbon was actually an accident.. was just trying to use my fineliners on the ribbon to make polka dots, but it just spread out on its own!

Have been making loads of these beaded flowers lately!..
