CraftWell DT: Love Browny -G45 Minialbum

 

Hi, 

This is my next post for Craftwell

I have been accumulating the Graphic 45 monthly kits since their beginning, thus, I finally decided to reminiscence on my paw-baby in doggie heaven and used the 2021 Vol. 9 Well Groomed kit.

I changed some of the suggested papers from the kit with background papers from the complementary Graphic 45 paper pad.

In short:

First, I created several shaker elements as embellishments using the Dog's Life kit.

I tried to recreated my boy as best as I could using the elements from the kit and some PowerPuff chalks:

No too bad comparing him with the original Browny:

Then, I followed the instructions from the Well Groomed kit, just changing some of the papers with the background papers without flowers (which are also cute but not what I wanted to portrait for our dear 16 year old male dog).

Then, I used tacky glue to glue the papers to the thick black cardboard sheets. And decorated the title page using the shaker elements that I had died cut previously.

For some pages, I used the TC beautiful words embossing folder to emboss the dark mats before attaching them to the pages:

I'm still working on decorating the inside pages with the G45 ephemera/post cards elements and stickers as well as more shaker die cuts I made. I really like the ribbon suggested binding of the book and might do it, attaching my Browny's rabis shot tag as dangle. Once I finish the album, I'll post it to.

Here are some close ups from the title page shaker elements.

Finally, I die cut the letters to spell "Browny" using two different G45 papers and glued them to the "love" shaker to finish the album title page.

I used the BoBunny alpha die for the "B" and the TH alpha dies for the rest.

Comparing both albums:

And mine uncompleted one:

As I mentioned previously, I ended up changing the background paper of all the pages, but one (the multi-colored paw printed page)...

Craftwell DT: Baptism Favors

  

 Dear Scrappers,

This is my post for Craftwell:

For this post, I made baptism favors for my Godson's special day.

I used the following materials and dies:

My SNAP for the die cuts

Jane Davenport Gold Squid Ink

Heartfelt Creations cross dies

CTMH sunburst stamp

BoBunny cross dies

Tattered Lace tag die

Rosary and other dies, I can remember right now.

Xyron stickers maker

Gold DecoFoil

Laminating machine

Brother toner printer

Michaels cardstock in blue and pearlescent white

whole puncher

Steps:

1- I printed the baptism details and then run the cardstock through the laminating machine using DecoFoil to gild the printed cards.

2- I die cut the tags and made punched the wholes

3- I die cut a bunch of crosses from different companies and run the die cuts through the Xyron sticker maker.

4- I stamped the sunburst with Gold ink and added a die cut cross on each stamped sunburst

5. Finally, I attached the tags using gold thread to the printed ribbon bows for each Cross favor for each family.

I also made some candy favor boxes for the children as well:

I stamped some Dollar Tree paper favor bags with the sunburst and added a die cut cross to match with the adult's favors. Finally, I added the blue tags to each bag.

I was able to make all the baptism favors the night before the baptism and surprised my "comadre" with them.

I hope you enjoyed my quick and easy project and please make sure to visit Craftwell for more inspiration and to follow me

DT: Nurse’s Office Door Sign

 

Dear Scrappers,

This is my post for Craftwell:

For this post, I decided to use my SNAP to create a door sign for my work:

I got some ideas from Pinterest, but decided to use flowers instead of stars to make it my own.

I wanted to continue the same design I used for my sanitation stations. Thus, I cut letters and Tiles from DCWV Unicorns and Rainbows paper, using the BoBunny larger alpha dies and Tattered Lace dies.

Here are some of the dies and the paper pack I used:

I cut a 7.5 x 7.5 in square out of chalk board paper. I cut 3 pieces (7 x 2 in.) of gold thick card stock to make the frames for the word tiles. For the smaller tiles, I cut 6 DCWV paper rectangles (3 x 1.5 in.) to frame the 2.75 x 1.25 in. black chalk board paper. I glued all frame titles uding double side tape to the big chalk board square leaving an upper border to add my title.

Then, I cut flowers, leaves, and the alpha die cuts using my SNAP machine. 

Then, I trimmed 2 cards from the cards printed paper to die cut my smilly face in gold and the (CraftWell) paper clip heart. I glued them together and glued it to a wooden cloth pin to make my sign marker.

Later, I realized that I should have glued the die cuts separated and on both side of the cloth pin, so remedied that by die cutting an arrow from the left over card and adding touches of black with a marker to emphazise the arrow and I added more black aound the heart (not shown), the smilly face. I paper pieced a nurse's hat and colored the cross with red gel pen:

Here some closer views of the finished door sign:

Again, I was able to use my SNAP machine while at work and now I have a nice sign to meke me smile while I'm working.

I hope you enjoyed my quick and easy project and please make sure to visit Craftwell for more inspiration and to follow me.

Happy September,

and stay safe from this pandemic.
