Home Tweet Home for Paper Temptress

Hi again Paper Temptress Fans.  This is my newest creation for the Paper Temptress Design Team.  The spring weather and the flowers were the inspiration for this project. 

Paper Temptress Products Used:

·         Mountain Rose Glimmer Card Stock

·         Amethyst Mica/Metallic Card Stock

·         Emerald Mica/Metallic Card Stock

·         Autumn Hay Glimmer Card Stock

Other Products Used:

·         Purple Gem Stones

·         Pink Gem Stones

·         Yellow Organza Ribbon

·         Hot Glue Gun

·         Die Cut Machine

How It Is Made: 

·         I started out by painting the bird house.  The house is painted in a light blue and the roof and fence in a white.  Then using the die cut machine with the leaves and swirls die cut it out using the Emerald Mica/Metallic card stock.  Add it to the front of the bird house using whatever type of adhesive you choose.  I used my hot glue to adhere it.  I stamped several of two sizes of the rose petals on the Autumn Hay Glimmer card stock with the Dandelion ink pad.  I cut out the flower petals with the matching die and die cut machine.  I shaped the flower petals a little by hand and glued them together to form the rose.  I attached the roses to the front of the bird house using the hot glue gun.  Next stamp several of the daisy flowers the three smallest sizes with Grape Jelly ink on Amethyst Mica/Metallic card stock.  Cut out the daisies using the matching die and a die cut machine.  Shape the flowers a little by hand.  Layer the different size daisies together.  Add a purple gem stone to the center of each of the daisies and attach the daisies to the bird house using the hot glue gun.  Last you will stamp several of the posy flowers with Rose Bud ink pad on Mountain Rose Glimmer card stock.  Cut out the posies with the matching die and die cutting machine.  Shape the flowers a little bit by hand.  Layer the different size posies together.  Add a pink gem stone to the center of the posies.  Add them to the bird house using a hot glue gun.  Add a bow made out of yellow organza ribbon.

How it is made:

Stamp the various flowers on the colored card stock with Tuxedo Black ink.  Stamp one of each size of the stamp for each flower that you would like to make.  After all the stamping is completed, cut them out using the matching die and a die cut machine.  After all the flower petals are cut out, use the Paper Blossoms Molding Mat and Tool Kit to shape all the flower petals.   To assemble the flowers, glue the smallest to the largest in the center using the hot glue gun.  Attach the flower to the floral wire and then wrap the wire with floral tape.  In this bouquet there are roses, calla lilies, daisies, posies.  To help fill in the bouquet, cut a square of the netting and add it to a piece of floral wire and then wrap the wire with floral tape.  I also added bling to the bouquet by attach crystal gemstones to floral wire and then wrap the wire with floral tape.  Add lavender Stickles to the center of the daisies.  Add black diamond Stickles to the center of the posies.  Arrange the flowers in the vase and then add marbles to the vase to help hold the flowers in place.

Detail view of corner fence and rock

How it is made:

The base of the layout is a 12”x 12” piece of white card stock.  Stamp the fence image on the bottom left corner in Tuxedo Black ink and then color the image with markers and colored pencils.  I used the Gamsol on the area colored with pencils to help blend out the lines and give the image a smooth appearance.  Stamp the rock image near the fence in Tuxedo Black ink.  Color image with markers and pencils.  Again I add the Gamsol to the area colored with pencils to blend out the lines.   Stamp the fence image on a piece of white card stock.  Color the image with Copic markers and then cut out using the matching die and a die cut machine.  Stamp the windmill image on white card stock with Tuxedo Black ink and then color the image with Copic marker.  Cut out the image using a die cut machine and a matching die.  I attached blades of the windmill to the windmill base with a pop dot to give the image dimension.  I attached the windmill to the top right side of the layout.  I then added the fence on top of the windmill at the bottom.  Stamp two of the grass images on white card stock with Cottage Ivy ink.  Cut out the grass using a die cut machine and the matching die.  Attach the grass to the front of the fence area.  Stamp the flower image at the top right side of the layout with Tuxedo Black ink.  Color the image with markers and colored pencils, using the Gamsol to blend areas colored with the pencils.  Stamp several of the rope images in Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock.  Color the ropes with Copic markers.  Cut out the rope image with a die cut machine and the matching die cut.  One piece of rope is the right size for the 4” side of a picture.  To make a rope that will fit the 6” side of a picture, you will need two pieces of rope.  Cut one piece of rope in half using the lines on the rope as a guide.  Cut the ends off of both ends of the rope, again using the lines on the rope as a guide.  Attach one half of the rope to each end of the other rope.  Making sure that you place them so that your rope piece ends up being as long as you need it to be.  Attach the rope pieces to the picture to form a frame.  Cut a mat of white card stock at 5”x 7”.  Cut a mat of black card stock at 5 1/8”x 7 1/8” Attach pictures to the white mat and then attach to black card stock and then attach matted pictures to the layout.  Stamp the hat and boot image in Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock.  Color the image with Copic marker.  Cut out the image with a die cut machine and a matching die.  Attach the hat and boot to the corner of the pictures.
