Find Your Song, ... Nature Tag

Hi Friends,  Today I'm sharing a nature inspired tag I created for my friend Martica's birthday.  I don't make tags very often, but Martica loves them so I decided to give it a go.  The papers are from my stash of K and Company's classic Nature collection. 

I fussy cut the bird and nest, then popped them up for a little dimension. I used matting gel to add some Tim Holtz musical note tissue paper to the base of the tag.  Then I added a little random sewing and punched the edges to frame the tag.  To embellish, I added a Prima pink vine spray, some Wild Orchard roses, a few butterflies, some bling and lace trim.  Vintage seam binding slips though the back to create a bow tied hanger for the tag. 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you found a little inspiration here.  If you enjoyed this post, please "Follow" and "Share" my blog with your friends.  Until next time, make it a happy day!  Hugs ~ Dawna

"Time for Love" - Wedding Day Album

"Time for Love" Wedding Day Album

Hi Friends,

Today I'm sharing a my first paper bag album.  I did this album for our wedding photos taken in Santa Barbara, CA on May 18, 1985.  Richard and I will be coming up on 30 years together next year and neither of us can believe its been that long!   We both realize what a blessing that is and how much that says about the life we've created and enjoy together.  Like any marriage, it isn't always easy, but we are so very grateful for all of our blessings.

To celebrate this years anniversary we took our RV to one of our favorite beach spots just over the hill to South Carlsbad in San Diego, CA. While hubby was busy surfing, I was busy creating this beautiful keepsake of our special day.  

"Time for Love" Wedding  Day Album

I love the way it turned out in real life.  But, like a lot of projects, sometimes the pictures just don't do it justice.  I feel like that's the case with this project.  So, I'm hoping to do a video preview of it in the near future.  That way I can show you all of the albums nooks and cranny's and share a few tips and tricks too.  Until then, please take your time and enjoy these photos:

Burlap Flower Tutorial

Hi Friend's,

Today I'm very happy to bring you this fun and simple tutorial on how to make these wonderful rustic burlap flowers.  I was inspired to create these beauties from two ladies on YouTube. The first is from alittleshabbychic  and the next is from Cool2Craft. Both tutorials are wonderful and your sure to enjoy them.  I've simply changed up the materials and provided the details I used to create my own unique table centerpiece.

I love to decorate and this spring I'm loving aqua colors and burlap textures.   To get started I collected some existing home decor items like my egg basket, wooden eggs, aqua platter, rustic bird canisters, woven napkin rings, led candle flames and neutral place mats.  I added some woven ribbon, tree sprigs, aqua burlap threads (from the aqua flowers below), and here's what I put together for my new spring center piece:

Spring Table Centerpiece

Look around and see what you've already got to work with, anything I already mentioned, or other items like medium sized frame mirror rather than a platter, or candle stick holders and real candles.  Its fun to mix up a few old  things with a few fresh items to create a totally new look.  Here's a few more close ups:

These flowers are so simple and easy to make!  Here's a close up of all three  types of flowers I created for this display:

4.5" Wide Looped Flat Backed Burlap Flowers #1

1 1/2" Wide Plain Looped Rolled Burlap Flower #2

1 1/2" Wide Rolled Burlap Flower with Center #3

The remainder of this post is dedicated to my flower tutorial.  Feel free to look the directions over,  collect your ideas and goodies.  Then come on back and follow along to create your own unique display. Thank you fro dropping by and may I wish you a happy creative day!   Dawna ~ <3

Burlap Flower Tutorial Directions

Lets start with the supplies you'll need to make both the 4.5" looped flat backed flower and the darker 1 1/2" rolled burlap flower on a stick:

Supplies

2 pieces 30" long x 11" wide 100% Jute Woven Burlap - 1 Roll  cut in half (makes 6 flat back flowers and 6 dark rolled flowers)

6 ea. Large 1/2" Flat Back Pearls

6 ea. Sandwich Sticks (or use wooden skewers or chop sticks, if you want to display in a tall vase)

Glimmer Mist Chocolate (Optional)

2" Circle Punch

Scrap Cardstock

Scrap Felt

Ruler 

Tacky Glue

Hot Glue Gun set on Low Temp

Low Temp Glue Sticks

Fabric Scissors

Refer to list as everything needed is not pictured here.

 Directions for Burlap Looped Flower #1

5" Wide Looped Burlap Flower #1

Step #1 - Create Felt Flower Base:  After collecting all your supplies, start by creating a felt base for your flowers.  I used a 2" punch to create a paper template, then used the paper template to cut out 6 each 2" felt circles for my flower bases.   I picture both small and larger punches and templates, but didn't need the smaller 1 1/2" one.

Create 6 ea 2" Felt Flower Backs

Step #2 - Prepare Your Strips:  To prepare your burlap, first clena up the edges by pulling uneven frays of burlap till the fabric weave is straight in every direction.  Then at 3.25" pull a single thread from across the length of your fabric.  This will leave a clear straight cut line for you to follow.  Repeat this for both pieces of burlap so you wind up with 6 each 30" lengths. 

Step #3 - Create Petal Strips:  To begin creating your petal strips, fold your 3.25" burlap strip in half and using your low temp glue gun, begin gluing your fabric together all the way across your 30" strip.    As shown in the picture below, cut  along the fold between every 5th thread, about 3/4ths of the way to the salvage (glued) edge.  Do not cut all the way through the salvage.   As a final step, scrunch the strips back and forth along the glue line to 'break up or soften' the glue line so its not too stiff to work with as you begin to lay it out around your felt circle.

Step #4 - Create Flat Backed Flower:    Start creating your flower by taking one of your 2" felt backs and starting at the outer edge of the circle moving around the outer edges then moving inward to overlap petal strips, start gluing down your petal strips.  Continue around your circle toward the center until the petal strips overlap themselves for three rows of petals.  For a 2" center circle your strips will end at the center at or about 19" long.   Set aside your 11" remnants for use later.   Snip and glue final petal down near the center leaving a bit of room for your 1/2 center pearl.   Open up the petals by putting your finger through each loop and arranging them individually until you are happy with how they look.    I pulled on the outer sting at each loop to fray them slightly for a more rustic look.  Finish your flower by gluing on a 1/2" pearl center or other desired center piece (i.e., button, rhinestone cluster, bling, trinket).   Your completed flower will look similar to this one:

5" Wide Looped Burlap Flowers with Pearl Center

Directions for Burlap Rolled Flower #2

Step #5 - Color Petal Remnants for Rolled Flowers:  Complete Steps #1 to #3 to get 6 each 11" remnants of looped petal strips.   Using a dark brown colored spray mist saturate your strips.   Then I dried the strips using a hair dryer, set on low, or embossing heat element to dry your stain in just a few minutes.   If you want a more naturalized color variation,  only spray along the salvage edge about 2/3rds the way up the petal.  Once rolled up the darker center will be near the bottom with the lighter end of the petal showing on top.  Since I wanted 3 different colors for my center piece, I saturated my strips instead. 

Step #6 - Create Rolled Flowers:  Complete Steps #1, #2,  #3 and #5 to get 6 each 11" stained and dried remnants of looped petal strips.   Using  a sandwich stick glue the larger rounded end down to the salvage (glued edge of your petal strip).  If you plan on using your rolled flowers in a tall vase, you may wish to use a longer heftier stick like a chop stick instead.  Using your low temp glue sticks continue to glue your the salvage edges as you roll your petal strips around the stick until you are finished.  To fluff up simply turn flower face down and rotate it around a for a few twists.  Open up the petals by putting your finger through each loop  and arranging them individually until you are happy with how they look.  Your completed rolled flowers completely misted with stain will look similar to this:

1 1/2" Wide Plain Looped Rolled Burlap Flower 

Directions for Aqua Burlap Rolled Flower #3

1 1/2" Wide Rolled Burlap Flower #3

These of course are my favorite ones!  They are so feminine but you do go about putting these ones together slighly diffrent than the others.  First lets start by preparing our flower strips:

Step #7 - Prepare Burlap Strips:  I got this colored burlap at Michael's and its made by Ashland and comes in 3" wide rolls x 5 ft. long.  I cut each roll into three even pieces and ran a edge of tacky glue down along the salvage.    If you'd prefer, you can use your glue gun instead for this step, then you don't need to wait overnight.  I used the tacky glue and let stand overnight.  Here's how things look at this step:

 Step #8 - Prepare Burlap Strips:   To make your petal strips you'll need to start at the 3" open unglued edge and start pulling one strand at a time out of the strip.  Strip away all of the strands that run paralled to your glued edge.  You'll wind up with strips that look like this:

Step #9 - Make Petal Strips:   Fold a strand of open weave threads in half and using your low temp glue gun, glue them together along your salvage edge.  Here's what your strips should look like at this point:

 

 Once your strips are together then take one and lay your sandwich stick (or chop stick if you want to use in a tall vase) along the edge and start gluing and rolling the edges around the stick.  Be sure to keep you salvages even as you rotate the petal strip around the stick.

 

When your rolled petal is done, gently lay it face down onto the table and give it a soft twirl to unfurl the loops a bit.  This will give you a small center spot to glue your finishing pearl in place.   This is what they should look like when your all done:  

Again here's a close up what my finished flowers all looked like put together as a spring centerpiece:

Well friends that's it for me today.  I hope you found this step by step tutorial helpful.   Create something from the heart and live your life inspired!  Have a happy day dear friends!  ~ Hugs Dawna

"Do Not Let Anyone Ever Dull Your Sparkle" Persoanl Journal Tutorial

Hi Friends,

Today I'm sharing a tutorial on how to create this adorable  personal journal using Teresa Collin's beautiful "Stationary Noted" collection.  It's no secret that I adore Teresa's clean, fresh designs and this collection is one of her first offerings with the adorable file folders and envelopes.

Cricut Rosette, Medallion & Sewn Edge

I just had to have these striking colors, cute stationary items and inspiring sentiments.  There are so many wonderful sentiments to choose from but my favorite was "Do not let anyone ever dull your sparkle" and "Don't be afraid to dream big."   I reserved both of these for the front cover.  You're welcome to follow along or pick something that speaks to you and customize your cover anyway your heart desires. 

Cricut Doily, Noted Button & Sentiment

This journal is 6" x 9" making it perfect for a an everyday diary, journal or scrapbook.  At 70 pages its also thick so I've included a ribbon closure which is sewn into the front and back covers.  There's plenty of room throughout the journal for photos and lots of nooks and cranny's to tuck away whatever memorabilia you want to save.

Take a look at these simple directions, collect your supplies and join me in creating your own personal journal.   Ready to get started?  Here's what I used for my design:

Supply List

2 ea 12 x 12 Stationary Noted Paper Collections
1 ea 6 x 6 Stationary Noted Paper Pad
2 ea Stationary Noted Sticker Sheets (these already come inside the 12 x 12 collection packs, so there is no extra cost for these)
1 ea Stationary Noted Chipboard Button Collection
1 ea Stationary Noted Decorative Brad Collection
1 ea Stationary Noted File Folders Collection
1 ea Stationary Noted Envelopes Collection
1 ea Teresa Collins Vintage Finds Collection Medallion
2 Sheets of Matching Gray Paper (reserve one sheet for your Cricut rosette and doily)
1 Sheet of Matching Red Cardstock
1 Sheet of  White Cardstock
1 Sheet of Black Cardstock
Close to My Heart "Artiste" Circuit Cartridge
Circuit Machine & Cutting Mat
Sewing Machine
Black Spool & Bobbin Thread
2 ea 10" long 3/8" Black Double Sided Satin Ribbon (For Journal Closure)
2 ea 7" long 3/8" Black Double Sided Satin Ribbon (For Tri-Fold File Folder Closure)
Silver Stickles
Glue
Pop Dots
Corner Rounder
Paper Scoring Board and Scoring Tool
1 ea 7" piece of 1 1/2" White Cinch Binding Wire
Cinch Binding Machine
12 x 12 Paper Trimmer
Scissors 

Directions

Inside Front Cover,  Pages 1 & 2

Step 1 - Creating Journal Cards & Mats:  From one of the 12 x 12 collection kits, pull both pages of  3 x 3 and 3 x 4 journal cards and trim the sentiments them down to size.  Set these aside to decorate with later.


Step 2 - Creating Pages & Pockets:   Take the remaining 20 sheets of 12 x 12 paper and cut off a 3" strip from each of them.   This includes the remainder of both collections plus the black, red, white and gray sheets of cardstock.  Next score all of your 12" x 9" sheets in the middle at 6" creating a folded 6" X 9" page.   Once cut and scored, a 12" x 9" sheet creates four journal pages, two outside and two inside.  Next take your corner rounder and shape all four corners of each sheet.  Now take the 3" x 12" strips and score them in the middle at 6" and round only the two bottom corners on each piece.   You'll use these 3" strips at 6" or 12" lengths for pockets as pictured throughout the journal. 

Pocket Corner Rounding Tip:  Be careful to hold your graphic paper in the correct direction when rounding the bottom of your 3" pocket strips.  Otherwise you may wind up with your typewriter paper upside down at assembly!  Oops!  

Inside Back Cover with Sewn Edges

Step 3 - Create Your Covers:   Make the front and back covers by folding those in half and putting one of the tie ribbons in the middle where you want your tie to close the book.  Do not glue or tape your tie in place as this will cause trouble for your sewing machine.   Sew around the open edges of both your front and back covers.  I ran a few squiggly lines around the edges capturing the tie edge and sewing it into the cover securely.

Special Cover Note:  The front and back covers are the only pages in the book that you fold in half and double up into a single page.  You do this to give the outside of the journal some heft so it can take a bit of everyday wear and tear.  All your other pages are single sheets. 

Step 4 -  Creating a Rosette & Doily:   Using your Cricut and Close to My Heart "Artiste" cartridge, cut two each of the rosette halves shown on page 50, marked as item 23 in the item picture and shown under the CARD feature.   I applied my gray 12 x 12 cardstock to the cutting mat and cut my rosettes to 3 1/2."   Using the same cartridge and mat, next I cut a 2" single doily, listed on page 58 under the 3D OBJECT feature.   Assemble the rosette and outline both items with silver Stickles.   If you do not have a Cricut machine or the "Artiste" cartridge, feel free to improvise your own decorative element to use instead. 

Page 1 & 2 with Page Pockets, File Folder & Envelope

Step 5 - Create Page Pockets:   I alternated page pockets on the outside and inside throughout the journal.  You'll  notice that I cut a few of my page pockets down to 6 " to mix up the design a bit from page to page.   When securing your page pockets use your favorite paper to paper glue otherwise the first time you insert something hefty into a pocket it will fall apart if you only use your tape runner.   Remember to leave the top of your page pocket open, gluing only the sides and bottom.   Since you will bind your pages at their center fold, there's no need to glue down your pockets in the middle. 

Step 6 -  Stage Your Pages for Binding:   After assembling your pages and pockets, then organize your pages in the order you want them to appear.  Once that's done, insert your "loose" file folders where you want them to appear.   I glued down the thick tri-fold folder to one of my pages leaving me three "loose" file folders to tuck into my journal.

Step 7 - Binding Your Journal:   I used the Cinch Binding Machine with 7" of 1 1/2" white binding wire to create this journal.   Follow the directions to punch, stack and cinch your pages together.   Remember to stack your back cover last, over the front cover, so when you are done binding you can turn the back page to the rear and hide the seam of your binding wire.

Alternate Binding Method:   If you don't have a Cinch Binding Machine, you can easily improvise a binding using a standard hole punch and 3 ea. 2" binding rings.   Make a 6" x 9" cardstock hole punch template to use as a guide.   To make sure your holes are evenly spaced fold your 9" cardstock in half, then in half again and one more time.  This will give you 7 evenly spaced crease lines.  Mark and punch your top, bottom and center crease lines.   Using your template punch all of your pages and secure them together with your 2" binding rings. 

Step 8 - Decorating Your Journal:   With your journal all put together, now its time for the really fun part!   Feel free to follow my simple design ideas or better yet take this opportunity to use your mini envelopes, stickers, journaling cards, photo mats, brads, and 3D chipboard to finish decorating your journal just the way you want it.

Special Note on 6 x 6 Paper Pad:   I used 12 pages or half of a 6 x 6 paper pad to help decorate this journal.  I used some pages whole to make photo fold outs (see pages 52 & 58) and/or cut a few pages down to make photo mats and journaling flaps throughout this book (see pages 4, 14, 26, 30, 31, 50, 54, 55, 56 and 59).  

Here's what my finished journal looks like:
