I whipped up this cute card. I had extra pieces, so this came together easily. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">My finished card size is a 5x5 top folding card. I used a piece of white cardstock for my base. I then used the same blue cardstock for the pockets as a base mat. On top of that I layered some Doodlebug patterned flowers paper, a strip of some of the bright green paper in the same pad. I then used the Wacky Stitched square for another base and then some more Doodlebug patterned paper for a mat. I set my sweet little bunny in her pocket on top of that. I did add a little foam tape to the back of the die cuts to give them just a bit of lift and dimension.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiqVpG0y9BFXycyJ5ND909kJ7519mLTLKYZvq5mt72i82BZ-4RZW7sCWXWZcaVWV6TntsCed1P68mSur9JC59lbIReF79T6o2mVjyOJX1tsUBqjOxPE9ssLUHvUzFPkK4cMSXAkrkA5gD-Ibe1RJV8Faed2MflcGpcpxHhjgW-G0oWTmi9GeQ=s800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiqVpG0y9BFXycyJ5ND909kJ7519mLTLKYZvq5mt72i82BZ-4RZW7sCWXWZcaVWV6TntsCed1P68mSur9JC59lbIReF79T6o2mVjyOJX1tsUBqjOxPE9ssLUHvUzFPkK4cMSXAkrkA5gD-Ibe1RJV8Faed2MflcGpcpxHhjgW-G0oWTmi9GeQ=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Here is a side view.

I wouldn't recommend using this method ALL the time as obviously you will be laying some versamark onto your ink pad but it got me out of a fix as I had ran out of black embossing powder and I'm a tad impatient ;)</span></div>

Here Im showing you how I made the frames and corners I keep being asked about and they are ever so easy.<br />
There are LOTS of different Air Dry Clays on the market. This one Im using at the moment is a Martha Stewart one. There are different colours available but I mainly use white but also have Blue, Red,Brown and Yellow as they are the main mixing colours.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today's post is going to be about using some of those beautiful flowers that we sell at <a href="http://www.craftfairy.co.uk/" style="color: #0066cc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Craft Fairy</a> in a picture frame. I've made this because so many of my customers say that our flowers are too beautiful to use and they keep them in a draw to look at from time to time. Well we cant have that can we. So this is how to get them out of the draw and use them to good effect.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Do you like this frame? Does it look expensive? Well, it actually cost me 99p and it came from the shop of the same name. You probably have a local one yourself so get on over and have a look at what they have in stock. There was no glass. What did I expect for 99p? Better for the purposes of making this picture.</span></div>

<br />
Shabby Chic Lace Flowers are really hot at the moment so this is my tutorial pick for today. It's a video tutorial for a change. If you click the image you will see the video.<br />

<br />
I was inspired to make this flower as <a href="http://www.craftfairy.co.uk/">www.craftfairy.co.uk</a> is now stocking this fabulous pointed lace. I believe that it is leavers lace. That is the same type of lace as the one used on Kate Middleton's wedding dress.<br />

Apart from the lace, you will need a needle and thread and a flower to put in the centre. Please see my video on making folded flowers to see how to make one for yourself. </div>

This is a super easy tutorial I originally posted in 2011, but I figured i’d share it anyhow for Halloween.<br />
<br />

This is a super easy tutorial, but I figured i'd share it anyhow. I made Halloween magnets from erasers I bought at Dollar Tree. They are cute and cheap home decoration, or gift ideas. Spookify your fridge, hand them out in lieu of candy, or give them as favors at a hosted Halloween party. Fun!</div>

I'm not sure what all the hype is with the owls lately but I was again <strike>wasting my time</strike> on Pinterest and came across these cute bookmarks. I have my monthly stamp club swap coming up and our challenge this month was to create something other than a card. So I thought I would make these and show you how easy they are too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We only had to make one thing per person in my stamp club and that totaled 7 of us. But since these can be used as treat toppers or bookmarks I made six for everyone. </div>

Let me break down the amount of things I had to punch out just because
it's ALOT! Oh and here's where the how-to comes in. I used a Sizzix
Top Note Die for the base and I needed 42 of them. Thank goodness for my Big Shot on that part! You can also just cut a piece of cardstock at 4 1/2 x 3 1/2. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then you need circles (2 of each) cut at 1/4 inch, 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches. For me that amounted to 252 HAND PUNCHED CIRCLES! Ok, got a little excited but if I didn't have carpal tunnel before, I have it now. I also used a five petal flower punch and just used one petal for the beak. See the picture below for everything you need then just assemble it together. Easy peasy! </div>

Have fun! </div>

<b>My name is Fiona from <a href="http://feeleedesigns.blogspot.com.au/">feeleedesigns.blogspot.com.au</a> I have recently been given the pleasure of contributing to Inspirational. To start off I am posting a tutorial I did for a 3D stamped project that I completed.</b><br />
<br />
This tutorial gives you a step by step guide on creating 3D stamped images for your cards or projects. For this particular piece I have used a La La Land stamp Kitty Kat Marci.<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<b><u>STEP ONE:</u></b> You will need to stamp your image a number of times. For this project I have stamped my image four times in total. (Three stamps I used to colour for my pop up areas and these will be cut up and the last stamped image I used for the base of my stamp). If you are using digital stamps then print your image a number of times. To begin with you will need to colour the areas on your stamp that you wish to raise and have popped up, these areas will all be cut out. This is shown in the photograph below.</div>

<b><u>STEP TWO: </u></b>Once you have coloured each area that you wish to raise you then need to cut them out. This is a little time consuming however it is absolutely worth it as the end result looks wonderful. You can either fussy cut with scissors or you may like to use a craft knife. I prefer the scissors, however it is personal preference.</div>

<b><u>STEP THREE: </u> </b>For the base of the image which is the fourth image stamped you then need to colour the rest of Marci these areas are what will remain flat and will be the base for which you will stick the pop up pieces. So in this case I coloured her hair, face and her stockings. You will notice that I have then coloured all the other areas black. This is the base for my pop up areas. I have coloured them black as it gives a more finished and professional look when the image is all finished.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Last week while I was <strike>wasting my time</strike> on Pintrest I came across quite a few pins on crayon art. The first thing I thought of was....can I steal all of the neighbors kids crayons and possibly their science project. I guess that's why I don't have kids. Well since I don't have any kids I had to buy my own stuff. My sister has kids so this would be a great project for her and the kids. Hey I could've stolen their stuff! I wanted to try my own. I saw a lot of rainbow art and a few like the one I created. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here's what you need to <strike>steal</strike> get:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A artist canvas, you can buy one for practically nothing (or at least 40% off with a coupon at Hobby Lobby or Michael's) or you can "re purpose" your kids old art project. Again why I don't have kids. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A glue gun and glue sticks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A hair dryer or a heat embossing tool. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crayons, go ahead, the kids won't miss 12 of the 13 greens they give you in a box of Crayons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something to protect the floor and also a back drop to protect your walls. That's where the science project comes in. Those 3 fold things that the kids write all their baking soda volcano info on is what I used.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's really easy, let's get started:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Glue your crayons onto your canvas with a glue gun. I used a high temperature glue gun. Don't worry, it won't melt the crayons. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkoqTou_sDaZv3U79g-EKhYJ8kmmSFyW4jshShQRMgsZvMJdZKwuO8a5Tr627eGmCRXNecVuKHmK-VJnunnzvXxYy2OkX5jCwbUgtDiJ-2l7RJ8zNqYbS4fYUdIt4AA6co4DuvkS6fzz6f/s1600/Giddy+Greetings+Crayon+Art+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkoqTou_sDaZv3U79g-EKhYJ8kmmSFyW4jshShQRMgsZvMJdZKwuO8a5Tr627eGmCRXNecVuKHmK-VJnunnzvXxYy2OkX5jCwbUgtDiJ-2l7RJ8zNqYbS4fYUdIt4AA6co4DuvkS6fzz6f/s320/Giddy+Greetings+Crayon+Art+1.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Set up your backdrop and protection on the floor.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg03a2sxEIlKoPOqNKlWXuJreWhagf4aOvaNVsczD559ioxACiIwMRL_icSrZ2VttXyH8O8JUqAAVCEy-d6Bsqk620T2I1Wj91DiBrNMIH9PotMskN6w_HzL4Cx6m8_sVS5UNtlB7A_Nww7/s1600/Giddy+Greetings+Crayon+Art+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg03a2sxEIlKoPOqNKlWXuJreWhagf4aOvaNVsczD559ioxACiIwMRL_icSrZ2VttXyH8O8JUqAAVCEy-d6Bsqk620T2I1Wj91DiBrNMIH9PotMskN6w_HzL4Cx6m8_sVS5UNtlB7A_Nww7/s320/Giddy+Greetings+Crayon+Art+2.JPG" width="248" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now here's the fun part. I started out using a blow dryer but it took too long to get the crayons melted and it also moved around the wax too much. The heat embossing tool melted them much faster and you had more control over the wax and where it was going. Be careful with the heat tool as I set a few of the crayon tops on fire. The thing in the middle holding the canvas upright so it won't slide is just some cardboard I taped together and then taped to the protective sheet on the floor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what you'll get when your done. It took about 10 minutes to do it all. Don't worry that your crayon paper gets discolored during melting, only worry when it starts smoking like mine did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wait for it to dry. I gave it about a half hour. That's only because I had to take a shower, it could be less time though, who knows. I flipped it over, gave the white canvas that was showing a quick spritz of light blue shimmering mist and glued some of my quilled flowers I made to the canvas. Ta Da! <br />

Again I was <strike>wasting time</strike> on Pintrest and found some great ideas for re purposing a shutter. I thought they were really cute ideas but I didn't have a shutter laying around. I was at my local thrift store when I came across.......you guessed it, a shutter! I think there is a sneaky crafty fairy that knows what I want to make and finds things for me. Ok ok, I purposely went to the thrift store to find a shutter, I'm just trying to justify my shopping habits. But hey, it was only $1.00! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was easy and fun so here we go!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what it looked like when I purchased it. I removed the hardware (I'm saving that for another project) and then I threw a bunch of soap and water on it and scrubbed and scrubbed. I think the dirt had been on there since the 70's. Then I let it dry. Quick note....wood expands when wet and cheap shutter wood doesn't un-expand (I know un-expand isn't a word and there's a word for un-expand but I just can't think of it so please make un-expand your word of the day!). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After it was dry I couldn't open or close it easily anymore. I think it was in shock at being so clean. Ok maybe I just shouldn't have practically soaked it in soap and water. In hindsight it's a good thing it doesn't open easily now. I'll go into that later.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After it was clean I painted it. I love getting packages in the mail but I really love reusing the boxes for future crafts. Again I'm trying to justify my shopping habits. I didn't have a color of paint that I liked so I made my own color. I used acrylic paint in white, some green color and I threw in some gold and silver. Quick note....throwing in metallics to regular acrylic doesn't make it sparkle. Who knew? I'm not a painter. Anyway here's what it looked like when I was done painting. I applied 2 coats of paint. Oh another quick note...if you are mixing your own "custom" color (lol) and plan on doing more than one coat, make enough for all of the coats. I loved the first coat of paint color but do you think the second came out the same, nope.</div>

I let the paint dry overnight. Remember how I mentioned that the shutter wouldn't open or close easily after I cleaned it? Well after the paint dried it doesn't open or close at all. I had this all planned out, really! I'm kind of happy that it doesn't open or close because my reason for using it doesn't require it (nor do I want it to) open or close. I'm just lucky that there was enough spaces between the stuck shutters. I finished it off with some of my quilled flowers that I attached ribbon to as the stems. I'm using it to hold my favorite cards but you can use it to hold new mail that comes in or photos would be cute in it too. <br />

So let's get on with it. You will need:</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
16mm red with green dots grosgrain ribbon. This should be cut into 4 x 15cm lengths.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
16mm willow green grosgrain ribbon cut into 6 x 10cm lengths</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
1 piece of satin edged chiffon in a 30 cm length. No need to cut this in to short pieces.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
1 red button</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
1 length of strong green thread.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
1 strong needle. I know that I've said this before, but when you have to sew through several layers of grosgrain you will not be able to manage with a thin needle. A thimble is also a good extra to have.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Thread your needle and lay out the cut lengths of willow grosgrain as shown.</div>

Take one of the 15cm strips, form a loop and center the bottom of the loop on the underneath as shown in the image. The edges should overlap about 1cm. Push the needle up through the bottom of the loop, trying to get as closely centered both lengthwise and width wise as you can.</div>

Now concertina fold the satin edged chiffon so that the folds are slightly narrower than the ones below and thread the needle up through the centre. Fan the folds out and stitch into place. It is at this point that you will be glad that you have a strong needle. Sew the button into the centre of the rosette.</div>

My DH and I are volunteer readers, so we had much fun reading ghost stories in the dark. A spooky hut in the woods was the perfect place for the 14 kids (plus 6 adults)... We thought that brave kids need something yummy to eat. I made skull-shaped cookies and spooky eyes. I put them in a transparent box which looked extra spooky in the beam of our torches...<br /><br />The eyes are made with round sweets ("Nimm 2 Soft" in Germany - somebody told me they used Laffy Taffy or Starburst, maybe that helps).<br /><br /><strong>You need:</strong><br /><ul><br /> <li>Round, soft sweets</li><br /> <li>toothpicks</li><br /> <li>frosting (mix powdered sugar with a little lemon juice)</li><br /> <li>food coloring</li><br /> <li>a piece of styrofoam</li></ul>Here's a little collage with the description, it should be quite self-explanatory - click to see the full-sized version :)<br /><br /><center><br /><a href="http://www.anke-art.de/wp-content/uploads/edibleeyes.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-571" title="edibleeyes" src="http://www.anke-art.de/wp-content/uploads/edibleeyes-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></center><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" >[Tutorial was first published in 2009]</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div>Hope you like it!
