Loose florals - Mini junk journals by Jessica Rosengren

Hi everyone, Jessica here with my first project for Rubber Dance design team.
So excited to be here.
Today I´m making two mini junk journals and I´m decorating the front page with flowers from Loose Florals #1



First I´m stamping some of the flowers and leaves from the Loose Florals #1
stamp set on watercolor paper with Archival ink (waterproof).


Then I´m coloring them with watercolor.


All the flowers are fussy cut and I found some covers with collaged papers in my stash. I have collaged old book pages, sewing patterns and music sheets and then put an uneven layer of white gesso on top.


I decided to chose one of the two covers and cut it in half. I selected some different coffee and tea dyed papers to fill the two mini journals and used a waxed linen thread to sew it together.


For the front I have glued some of the flowers and then sewn the stem with black thread on my sewing machine. I glued on some leaves as well.


To decorate the mini journal some more I have used some different stamps form various
Rubber Dance sets; Grungy Borders, Grungy Stuff, Doodle Borders

Here are some more pictures from the finished project.







Here are the stamps I have used.

These are so pretty Jessica. Love the blue flowers against the neutral colours and what a fun idea for the shaped paperclips. Hugz.

Altered Chipboard Butterfly + Giveaway

Image
Message in Norwegian : Hvis du foretrekker å lese dette innlegget på norsk, kan du gjøre det og samtidig bli med på giveawayen på den andre bloggen vår ved å klikke her. Hello everyone! Bibi here today with a fun project, using the Totem Monarch Poppet chipboard from EyeConnect Crafts . I had such a blast with this and I hope what I've made will inspire you to make something similar. The difference between the chipboards from EyeConnect Crafts and others ones I've seen out there, is that they are made to connect (hence the name). There are two categories, one called Lace-Ups which you bind together using ribbons, string, lace, etcetera and another category of chipboards with smaller holes so you can connect the pieces using tiny eyelets or brads. This is what it looks like. The pieces are laser cut, and you easily remove them from the base - save that part and use it as a stencil for another project. Notice there is also a chipboard of the butterfly's...

CASology Week #202: Masculine (card by Bibi)

Image
Hello everyone! Bibi here today to show you a card I've made for the challenge at CASology, where the theme this week is to make a masculine card. "Heeeelp!", was my first reaction when I saw what their theme was, as I think it's really difficult to make cards for men! In addition, it must of course be CAS (= Clean And Simple), so I really had to step outside of my comfort zone....., but that's the point of a good challenge, isn't it? :-) Anyway, it was a post by  DT Kristiina  (on our Scandinavian blog ) that came to my rescue! If you haven't seen her post , you really should! The text is in Swedish, but there are lots of awesome project photos that speak for themselves. Kristiina had used stamped letters as the only "images" on her cards and I was very impressed by what she made, so I took out my Alphabet Uno stamps  (same as Kristiina had used), and what do you know - they spoke to me right away! Thank you, Kristiina! :-D And here...
