Tag mini album tutorial | Catch of the Day

 

Hello crafty friends! Today I'm sharing this super cute and easy to make mini album with the tutorial available in my Etsy store. In this tutorial I'm sharing all the tricks to squezze a gorgeous paper collection and make a tag mini album that is perfect as a gift, I used 6 black square tags and 2 large black tags by Graphic 45 to make the base and it is so quick to make because the spine has been made with the cinch but it's hidden. It turned out in a gorgeous and chunky mini album that I'm completely in love with! The papers used were mostly 8"x 8" and some Patterns & Solids, some black cardstock, 1.5 mm chipboard and anything you want to add to decorate your mini. Also I used the policy envelope and tag & pocket dies by Graphic 45 to add journaling spots. And to add more beauty I die cut with my Fantasy Dies (all are listed below) a bunch of beautiful embellishments that turned out so perfect in this mini. And it's easy and quick to make because I teach you how to make a hidden wire binding system, so you'll need the cinch or something to make the 6 holes. So get your tutorial HERE and craft with me!

Breast Cancer Awareness canvas | Inspiration

 

Hello everybody! Cecilia here with a mixmedia canvas designed for Fantasy and to inspire you. October 19 is dedicated to make aware about the breast cancer, so I wanted to create something pretty  in memory of all of our loved ones that has been dealing with that. First I made my canvas with a piece of chipboard then I made some stitches on the fabric before I stick it on the chipboard thinking in how difficult must to be loosing a part of your body to live it requires love and courage. When the canvas was ready I used crackle paste and modeling paste to add texture I colorize a little bit the background with my Lindy's sprays and some gilded flakes to showcase the stitches and distress the edges. I paint a piece of fabric to make the cancer symbol and then the best part was decorate it with gorgeous handmade flowers, die cuts and chipie from Fantasy all are listed below. The final touch was adding some quotes and that's it. I hope you will like it and feel inspired by my canvas xoxo Cecilia.

Happy Birthday shadow boxed card | Inspiration

 

Hello crafty friends! Cecilia here sharing this beautiful shadow boxed card designed for Fantasy dies. The main idea from this unusual card came from the die FD-917 that inspired me to create a kind of door with it, so I cuted out 4 times using thick white cardstock and to more in the same cardstock but leaving enough space around to create the doors and hinges the the paper left from cuting. I double layer the die for the front doors and for the back is a single layer to add stability to the doors. The gorgeous flowers and chipies helped me to embellish this card. Find all the products used listed below. The beautiful papers are from Once Upon a Springtime by Graphic 45. The gorgeous Lindy's sprays helped me to add color to my paper flowers. I hope you like it as much as I do and feel inspired to create one for yourself, xoxo Cecilia
