Cabinet Frames and Cards

Mr T!m Holtz of Idea-ology has just brought out a fabulous release of new items.  However, some of them to me are 'convenience items' and can easily be made from what you already have.  Therefore, I decided to make my own.

So I made a masterboard from scraps, cut out rectangles and ovals using dies to create the frames.

And I was left with the middle parts, so win win.

I then made some tag shapes and covered them in various background papers.

I also decided to make some more clusters as I was going along as I wanted to try and incorporate them somehow in the tags and frames.

And this is what I ended up with.  The three tags on the right have three of the above clusters incorporated in them.

Inspired by Maggie, Sunset Crafts and Toni, Crafty by Toni.

Accordion Book

The front

First couple of pages.

Lots of tag pockets on these two pages.

More pockets to add tags into.

This is the back.

The back sides of the pages

Just one pocket on this one so it didn't get too bulky.

I watched a series of 4 youtube videos by Tracie Fox and was inspired to make an accordion book.

Second Patchwork Page

 

I changed it up, this time I used patterned papers to create the patchwork shapes.

I mounted it on some of the card I got from the scrap store and also made use of the frame I picked up there too.

ATC Folder Holder

 

Watched a youtube video by Tina who is in the process of creating a boho journal.

This is the front when all the flaps are opened.

And from the back.

The middle section.

Left panels.

Right panels.

Folded from the right side.

Sides folded up.

Totally folded.  Holds 10 ATC's.

Patchwork - Online Workshop

 

All set up and ready to go

Firstly we created a collaged background.

Then created some repeating stamping patterns.

Built up the patchwork pieces.

Swooshed over the background with timber brown stazon and jet black.

Next I decided where to place my patchwork pieces and added some faux stitching.

The final product I didn't have, so I improvised and used some tulip fabric paint.

This was a great workshop, and I look forward to the next one.

Day 14 Tags

A flurry of oriental tags today towards the #fabtag30day challenge.

Red and black and lots of gold embossing.

Black and cream with lots of gold embossing.

Lots more gold embossing and a patterned paper.

More gold embossing and origami papers.

A smaller really plain tag.

Another smaller tag, but still lots of gold embossing.

Day 12 Tag

Day 12 tag for the #FABtag30days challenge using up leftover bits from the previous tags.

Then I decided it needed something else, so I added a couple of large gems to balance it out.

Dragonfly Tag - Day 6

I used these three colours of paint to create this tag.

I then stamped some shapes in the orange and teal using a bottle lid and an old store card.

Next I used white gesso to stamp with.

I added silver stickles to a die cut shape.

And I added black stickles to a wooden ruler.

More stickles.

The finished tag.

And then I hung it in the shrubs.

Used one of the tags from the day 1 #FABtag30day challenge to create this page in my black book.
