How to work with Large Molds Homemade Decoupage Tutorial

Hello, my friends!
Long time no see...
Today I would like to share with you absolutely adorable project an Easter Bunny made with the help of XL mold... Yes, I managed to come up with a brilliant idea on how finally reasonably use those L and XL rediculous molds.
Whoever designed those forgot to mention to us crafters that we need to own our own factory producing resin mixes or clay... and even if we can put all our coupons together and get a reasonable price on a big chunk of air clay... did they think of how much the figure will weight???
Yep, those L and XL molds can be used only for liquid gold - chocolate or pastries... No way we, paper crafters can use those...
Well, NatashascrapbooKorner to the rescue...
Yes, we can and I can prove it!

Do not let those Large and XL molds intimidate you…

You do not have to use fancy or very expensive clays or resin mixes to make that work for you.

The old and very simple trick will do an absolutely amazing job for you and you will be able to enjoy crafting again no matter what tricks those craft supplies might through at you...

The answer to our prayers is old and forgotten by many DECOUPAGE.

Yes, that way you are saving your precious pennies for shopping at our shop for example.

Ok, I can hear skeptics already: Do you know how much are they charging for a jar of glue at the store, forget the decoupage mixes...

No worries, I got you covered! Everything you need you have at home already...

Homemade Decoupage with flour recipe:

1 cup flour

½ TbSp of salt

1 cup water – mix well

Alice in Wonderland Altered Tags Crafty Prompts & Challenge M...

Hello, my friends,
Today I am sharing a couple tags that I created for "Crafty Prompts" & "Challenge Me by Color" events at "NSK&Friends" on the Facebook group
How does it work?
They were giving us a picture/image crafty prompt each day and we had to create something... You can choose any colors to work with, I decided to combine "prompts" with "challenge me by color"
Here it does...
I took for the base two large Prima tags (you can take a card 4 by 6 or 12 by 12-page layout)

Prompt #1

 I saw gathered lace and trailing flowers on this image... So here my vision on 1st prompt

I used cheesecloth fabric & on Tag #1 snippet of sequence applique  & cherry blossom iron on; Tag #2 modeling paste with Tim Holtz stencil floral tag

Prompt #2

 That was challenging, but that's what the challenges are all about...

 I saw more gathered lace and trailing flowers again... Lace and trims from NSK

Prompt #3

Bunny, metal, nature... I took METAL filigrees

Prompt #4

Lace and crowns... Crowns win all the time

 Mad Hatter had to have a twisted interpretation on a crown: I gave him a key for a walking cane & top handle of the key/walker looks like a crown... Alice has her crown of course...

Prompt #5 

Oh, that was easy - FLOWERS

Prompt #6

Dangle charm or clock... I went with the clock - so obvious for Alice in Wonderland theme

Prompt #7

Here it is...

Ta-Da!!! easy peasy...
Hopefully, you like what I created and get inspired like I did following those prompts

Thank you for stopping by and spending some time with me!
Hugs & Kisses,
Natasha

Jumbo Tag from Scraps

Hello my friends,
Today I would like to share with you a Jumbo Tag, that I made for "Sweet Treats" loaded envelope swap using " My Valentine" digital papers.... hm, lets back it up.... scraps of papers from KSP with Luisa
I recorded process of assembling this project, so you will be able to see how my mind works with recycling, using scraps, adding new elements and blending it with the rest of the items.
I started my tag with the base of thing chipboard, that came from some packaging (I capt it because of unusual corners), pile of scrap papers after I was done with the most of the projects for that swap + you'll see me using color coordinated unusual material like wax paper (it just happened to be the best match on color combo). You don't have to rush and buy it (on top of that it was from my summer trip to Japan), but check your local DAISO in baking department, you might find it there... I love airy fill to the bows that wax paper makes (ATT: must say that wax paper doesn't hold dimension after you laying it down or wrapping your project - it creases - so you know). But at first look gorgeous!!!!!! LOL
What else can I say to you about it?
Tips on blending scrappy project with the main project:
- it will match, because you are using the same papers;
- using the same punches on the edges plays dual roll: blands scrap pieces between each other and to the rest of the project;
- use the same or similar fibers. laces, tulle if possible
- similar shapes, like bows, butterflies can help as well (use the same style of the decorative elements, don't change bow shape for example or switch to different flower or butterflies punch - stick to the same tools that you have used through out whole project)

Alright, that's all I have for this one... enjoy the process video below and I'll catch ya later!
Hugs and Kisses, Natasha
