Guest Designing for Pretty Little Studio

Hi guys! I'm back with another layout using Zinia's Sunny Memories for Pretty Little Studio.

The starting point for this layout was the gorgeous deep magenta colour that features in the collection. I pulled out a 3x4 card, a 4x6 clear card, a banner piece and some labels.

I used my craft knife to carefully cut around part of the design on the 3x4 card so my photo could slide underneath. I decided early in that staples would feature heavily in my design. I often hide my staples underneath layers but this time I wanted them showing. As I got further in I realised my stapler didn’t have the required reach so I added the staples first and then used tape or glue to attach the pieces where I wanted them.

My favourite thing to do with acetate is layer things both beneath and on top of it, and to use dimensional adhesive to add some height. I hid the majority of the dimensional adhesive behind the photo and flower but decided as it didn’t show too much that I would go ahead and add some to the corners too.

I used some tracing paper and a black pen to copy the floral design from the patterned paper, took a photo of it and converted it into a cut file. I cut three out from white cardstock and added them in which in my eyes brought the layout together.

Here is the process video...

Supplies used:

Cut-Apart | Little Flags

Cut-Apart | Sunny Labels

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday ! As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off. Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia . Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle. It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead. They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread. (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.) Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead up in the corresponding g

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!! :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop . If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is Easter bunting! I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart. Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them. I embellished each flag with some beads... I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants. My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread. At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm. Perhaps the less said the better! I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here . Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card. Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first. I'll swap them round after a few weeks. Do you like my domino pegs? :) Thanks for stopping by. I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
