I had another project I had not shared featuring paper from the Hope Packs available at Our Daily Bread Designs.  This project is a picture carousel with a removable lid for storing items.  I used two of the verses from the Hope set that made their debut with Our Daily Bread Designs  this month.  The carousel can be used as it is now, or the inserts can be removed as pictures are added.  This was an alterable that I had on hand that I wanted to use, the right occasion or project had not come along.  When I saw the paper in the Hope Pack, I knew I had enough to get the carousel covered and it would be perfect along with the other pink accessories I showed earlier.

Getting the carousel covered was an easy adventure.  First I painted on two coats of gesso then I cut all the papers to size (lucky me, the inside of the frames could be cut with a square nestie).  The papers were all glued down and topcoated with Art Quest Perfect Paper Adhesive (Matte) which I purchased at Michaels, it is very similar to Modge Podge.   Using nesties I cut the two verses and finished up with flowers, brads and ribbon. 

This is the first month that I’ve really ever delved into alterables.  It’s always at the bottom of the list because there’s always seems to be something else I need that is not in my stash.   No so with these recent projects…I’ll be more apt to do similar things in the future because it was sure easier than I thought.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Designs
Paper:  Available in Our Daily Bread Design – Hope Pack
Ink:  Colorbox Chalk – Rouge
Accessories:  Gesso, Ribbon, Fflowers, Brads, Nesties, Perfect Paper Adhesive (Matte) or Modge Podge.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I had this frame in my mind for days so I finally sat down to try to figure it out.  I knew that I wanted a dressy card and I think the eyelet border punch played into it well.  I cut strips of eyelet border and mitered the edges to make a frame, then I went back and punched the slits with the Fiskars Leave it to Weaver border punch.   Once the slits were done, I taped the frame together on the back and then scored above and below the slits with my ScorPal just to give a little bit more definition and to repeat the border.  The royal blue ribbon is woven in one piece through the card and tied into a bow where the ends meet and large pearl brads added to each corner.  The eyelet frame is popped up on a blue foil frame panel which is popped up on a gold foil frame panel – each with a cut out using my square nestie.   The sentiment is gold embossed on base card where it will show through the window – the eyelet frame is popped up onto the base card.

 

The card is finished by adding ribbon on the bottom.  I tied knots just for something different.  If you can’t tell, I’m on a foil kick…I have a bit in my stash but noticed that Walmart is selling fun new colors so I’ll have to try them too.  Craft your heart out this weekend!

Supplies:
Stamps:  Sentiment – Rubber Stampede
Paper:  Blue Foil, Gold Foil, Fabriano Acquarello 90 lb Watercolor
Ink:  Versamark
Accessories:  Large Pearl Brads, Fiskars Eyelet Embossing Border Punch, Fiskars Leave it to Weaver Border Punch, Nestabilities, Ribbon, Gold Embossing Powder

    This card is just gorgeous, such detail. What great idea for making a frame using the border punch.ReplyCancel

  • BarbAugust 24, 2008 - 7:31 am

    Becca, you are brilliant!!!! This frame is absolutely gorgeous and the card is so stunning! I love the colors of white, royal, and gold together. Did you know that white represents purity, royal blue represents royalty and priesthood, and gold represents the glory of God? This combination always makes me think of ‘forgiven’ (white) ‘saints’ (royal) ‘in Christ’ (gold) :). Have a blessed week!ReplyCancel

I have a quick post  this evening – I hope you’re already having a wonderful weekend!!   I {heart} these little clipboards and  standing clothes pins.  When Our Daily Bread Designs released their three new sets of stamps and introduced the Hope Pack, I knew that I wanted to cover these alterables with the pink survivor paper.   The pair is designed to match with this project that I made earlier — Here. 

I simply painted all the wood with a coat or two of gesso then glued the paper down to the wood and sanded up the edges so that they were even.  A quick addition of some embellishments, and I was done.  All in all, it was a quick project.

Supplies:
Stamp:  Our Daily Bread Designs
Paper:  Available through Our Daily Bread Designs
Ink:  Colorbox Chalk Ink – Rouge
Accessories:  White Gesso, White Glue, Foam Brush, Sand Paper, Ribbon, Prima Flowers, Pearl Brad, Mini Clipboard and Clothespin – AC Moore

Just a note, I spent quite a bit of time today tidying up the behind the scenes part of my blog.  I’m a little bit better at it now than I was six months ago when I got started.  I now have a system of storing pictures on my server – initially they were everywhere.  So, if you encounter a red x, just hit refresh and your browser will pick up the new location.  I’ve tested everything out and shouldn’t have any orphans, but I sure moved a lot of stuff around in the back while organizing.  Whew, now if I could just manage to do that with my crafts!  I’m hoping to get some crafting done this weekend – I have my eye on trying out a couple of cool sketches that are floating around right now.   Okay, off to do a little more blog tweaking…finally.

    Hi Becca,

    Love this!! Have you heard of Chemo angels? It is a wonderful organization that pairs chemo patients with people that send them cards etc.every week. I am currently paired up with a wonderful lady in MO and I was just thinking that I need to try and make a pink ribbon card for her. I have been busy setting up a blog please check it out
    http://www.crystalscards.ca
    my cards aren’t anywhere in the same league as yours but I’m making so many at once for my fundraiser that I can’t spend hours on each one. Please share my site with anyone you wish.

    Oh Becca – this is so nice. I have a friend who lost both breasts years ago to cancer, and now she’s suffering with bone cancer. I need to get some of that paper. I’ve got a couple of friends who are chemo angels & I’m sure that they’d love it!
    Thanks always for the inspiration that you share.
