Dress Form & Pin Cushion with stick pins

Well Hello there!

Haven’t seen you in a while…

How are you? How is your day going so far?

I need to tell you a secret… I have been very bad lately – shopping…mm-mm-mm! All good stuff – materials for my projects…So, after you are going to be done with this article, please check out my stores: Website & Etsy (I have Zibbet too, but not all products are downloaded there).

Here we go… I was on a 3 day crop at Vero Beach last weekend hosted by www.PrimaliciousKitClub.com. I had blast! This is always great company, lots of new products, good prices and fun.

First of my projects was the Name Tag. We had a challenge going on with several categories. Unfortunately my tag didn’t wean any of those. But what did I tell you about FUN?.. Barbara & Jackie created a new category just for my tag… Was it worth it? You be the judge…

The prize for the name tag was beautiful Bo Bunny kit: 12 by 12 papers, 9 by 9 inch album, Want2Scrap pearl swirl, set of flowers and laces. Woo-ho!

Second project on my list were Dress Form and Pin Cushion with stick pins

The idea came from “The DIY Dish” YouTube channel. On the website www.theDIYDish.com they are giving you instructions and templates.

For the top of the Dress Form I decided to make a flower with broach. Originally it suppose to be a Christmas ornament…

For a Pin Cushion you need a material, polyester stuffing, round box, piebald stones, felt, lace, ribbon, embellishments, lots of hot glue.

For a decorative embellishment I used Webster’s pages cameo on hand made layered flower withWOC and Mini Flowers White as well as some ribbons.

What is a pin cushion without pins? I made couple pins as well…

And third project from my 3 day crop was…. Sets of Stick Pins

and some more with frosted glass...

Well, that's it for todays blog...

Let me know how do you like my craft projects, and please visit or refur my stores Website & Etsy

Thank you so much for following my blog and commenting!

Have a wonderful day!

Self made storage for Stickles. Organizing tips

HI!
What a wonderful day is today. Love when everything is taking place so smooth and on time...

I have allot of unfinished projects and almost no free time to finish it. How about you?

Well from now on I am going to finish at list one project from my stash a month and will see how it's going to work...
If you want to join me on this journey and post you responds on you upcoming progress I would be more than glad to host that challenge.
I started to organize my shop long time ago. There are so many solutions on how to and about...
Sometimes it's pricy... For example Tim Holtz trinket and cargo cases. Love it, but pricy and I think it is going to take allot of storage space. I am not sure about that, but maybe someday I will purchase those... Wish list... Ha-ha!
When I went through my supplies I found myself buying the same colors of stickles and have about 3 to 4 bottles of the same color. There are two ways to look at this PROBLEM:
- I have a specific taste in colors (helpful to know)
- I never going to use so much stickles.
Keeping a track of what you have is very handy.
I decided to go with Tim Holtz tags and create a sample tag for every ink, mist, stickle, etc I have.
Just want to let you know - starting organizing process is going to be time consuming. So be patient and make a big window in your schedule for that. Been in good mood for that type of work helps as well.
New purchases are going to be much easier to add to your sample tags. Just do it right the way...
But how and where are you going to store those types of products?
For portable and very inexpensive stickles storage I came up with this solution...

Here you can see my Stickles packed into Ziploc bags on the trays and color sample tags with names.
It is very comfortable way to store your supplies and take it with you, if you are traveling.
I am going to show you how to make a tray for your stickles.
That's what you need for this project...

Scor Pal board, Trimmer, Glue, 2 sheets of 8.5 by 11 inches 110 lb cardstock, quart ziploc bag.
Just want to let you know that at the very end there is step by step video tutorial on how to make tray.
Take your 8.5 by 11 inches cardstock

and cut it on 5.5 inch along the 11 inch side. Finished size of the paper is going to be 5.5 by 11 inches

Take your 5.5 by 11 inches cardstock and score it on the width of you bottle (why am I saying that, because stickle glue bottles are slightly larger than Ranger stickles.

For a Ranger Stickle score 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7-10

Flip your paper over and score on each other 1/2 inch (for stickle glue I would recommend to go with 3/4 inch+3/4 inch for a tab size): 1 inch been scored on the other side (it is a tray surface for a stickle bottle), score on 1 1/2 inch (from 1 to 2 - is your tab), keep scoring on 3 1/2, 5 1/2, 7 1/2, 9 1/2.
The formula for you scoring is width of you bottle, two width of your tab, width of your bottle, two width of your tab and so on... And you will have something like that...

Glue the tabs together...

The size of glued paper piece will not be long enough to feel your entire Ziploc bag...

So use your left over of the paper 3 1/2 by 11 inches and another 2 by 11 inch stripe from second piece of cardstock, cutting those in half. You will have two pieces 3 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches and two - 2 by 5 1/2 inches...

Score those pieces using the formula and add it to both sides of your tray in such order: first attach scored 3 1/2 by 5 1/2 inch piece, second and the last one would be 2 by 5 1/2 inch piece with the tab side on the outside of your tray...

Repeat for an opposite side of the tray...
Take second piece of cardstock (you already used it for 2 by 11 inch stripe) and cut another  2 by 11 inch stripe. Trim it on the length of your tray and score creating a tab (look for the formula)...

Now you have your tray with three sides covered with tabs and one open side...
Tip: decorate the back side of it with nice paper.
Slide your tray into Ziploc bag...

Tip: glue Ziploc bottom opening (watch the video for more info on that tip).
Before you'll place your Stickles inside make a samples on your tag...

Take a few minutes to watch a video...




Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Easel Cards, Magnolia, Spellbinders

Do you ever finding yourself asking the same question over and over again.... How in .... they did it?

Well, you are not along... I am one of those people who want to see with my own eyes and no written instructions can help (could be the language barrier)...

Any way...

About a year ago I started to chase Magnolia stamps. Love their cute little images. Than I found myself learning how to color with Copic markers... Still enjoying the educational process...

Once I came across Magnolia magazine. I was impressed by precise instructions on each project they printed there. People in Europe are willing to work hard for been published in that magazine. And I am telling you they deserve it. Creations and ideas are just breath taken...

So, I saw one fold up card and it was so nicely displayed, but I didn't even dear to think about making something like that, complex... My thought on that was "Maybe some day..."

Glad to say, this day came... and it's today.

I just love, love, love to make these EASEL CARDS...

The Green card was made for my mom's Birthday a nd was send out to Russia. Still didn't get there, so I didn't hear about it from my mom...
The lilac card was created as an example for my Ustream workshop.
Here some close ups on both cards:

Easel Lilac Card you can buy at my store.

For crafty once I made several card kits for both of these cards. You can find it at my store as well:
