Town by the Sea - Diorama Card

Hi there crafters, hope you are enjoying the last days of summer!

Today I will be demonstrating how to create a diorama card using house dies from Village set by Paper Discovery (see the supply list below). This card can be folded flat and sent in an envelope.

DIY notebook with SHAKER PAGE

Have you ever been fascinated with a patterned paper pad but didn't know what to do with it? Well this was the case with this oriental inspired blue and green pad by UHK Gallery and I guess I have found a solution! :) I have decided to create a DIY notebook.

A notebook is a great way to showcase papers and personalize each page by adding your own embellishments. Mine also has a couple of SHAKER PAGES! It's great for both journaling and scrapbooking and would make a perfect gift for anyone whether they are crafting or not.

In a VIDEO down below I will show you how I decorated each and every page and how I put the notebook together. It's going to be a long tutorial so grab a drink, relax and enjoy!

NO FRAME shaker cards

Hi crafty friends, 

Today I'm going to create a couple of shaker cards using a super fun technique that should definitely be more popular. It's a NO FRAME shaker card technique. 

To make a window open at one side you should have both panels of a shaker card connected. Watch the video tutorial down below for more explanations!

Adding Faux Ceramic Tiles to Papercrafting Projects

Hi paper crafters! 

In my last tutorial I was demonstrating how to make some faux ceramic tiles using stamps, dies and clear embossing powders. This time I'm going to talk about how to use those tiles on actual projects.

These tiles look just like ceramic but they are not nearly as heavy which makes them perfect for paper crafting. I have made 9 tiles and plates total. In this tutorial I'm going to create 5 simple projects and I'll use the remaining 4 next time on more advanced projects.

Watch the video tutorial below for a step by step guide! Have a wonderful week! See you again soon!

Faux Ceramic Tiles

All those tiles and plates look like ceramic but are made of paper.

I did the stamping on white paper, add some dimension to the tiles and glazed them - watch the video tutorial down below!

Vellum Cards - Tips and Advice

Hi and thanks for stopping by!

Today I'd like to focus on using vellum to create a front panel for your cards. Vellum is a beautiful material and it always adds a touch of softness and elegance to any paper crafting project but being so delicate and extremely susceptible to warping it's a bit tricky to work with. 

In the video tutorial below I'll demonstrate a step by step process of creating this framed vellum card. I will also be giving some tips and advice on working with vellum. There are just a few things to keep in mind but they will really help to achieve a neat and professional look. 

Thanks again for visiting and have a great day!

Using Small Dies for Backgrounds and Scenes

Hi and thanks for stopping by!

Today I'd like to share with you a couple of gift tags that I have created using Poppystamps dies. These cute stitched tags also work like mini cards because they both are attached to card bases so you can write a message inside.

I have used a bunch of Whittle Tags (love them!) to create a background as well as focal images on the first Halloween themed tag. For the other one I used Whittle dies to create a mini picture book scene.

As always, find some photos and a video tutorial below! Have a beautiful day!
