Captured Fairy




 Hello! Today I would like to share my latest project with you all. It is a captured fairy that I absolutely love! 


Please watch my YouTube video to see a step by step tutorial on how to construct this. Thank you for stopping by! :-)






The fairy was painted light pink and using dimensional magic modge podge I adhered a thick layer of diamond dust to both sides of the fairy. The fairy was perched amidst a small mound of flowers.

Steampunk Mini Album




Hi everyone! Carla here with a fun tutorial using the Cutout Cover Mini Album- Steampunk from Gina's Designs!






The first thing I did was to take one of the pages and turn it into my cover, I used gesso all over it and with a foam brush, did pouncing movements to create this cool texture.






 After that was dried, I used different sprays in gold, brown and coffee shades to make it look antique.









Next I took the Steampunk cutout overlay and painted it with this acrylic gesso and let it dry.






Then I sprayed it with dark copper and bronze shades, using a mixture of flat and shimmery finishes.







When the two pieces are adhered together, you can see the cool effect!

Here are some more pictures of the inside pages. I used the Dragonfly Frame, Flourish Frame Sienna, Flourish Frame Sienna Mini and Dragonfly.











I love all of the details in this steampunk mini album. Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and please check out the video on my YouTube channel. Please subscribe!!!

Pocket Letter/Mini Album Embellishments by Carla


I altered some pieces from the Say Cheese Shape Set to create these fun embellishments for my Pocket Letter and Mini Album. First, I wet the chipboard piece with VersaMark.




Next, I used three layers of some embossing powder from Lindy's Stamp Gang to create a pink frame with blue undertones.






 For this camera piece, I used Gold Stickles and applied it on the piece. The fine tip on the bottle made it s easy to fill in the fine details of the camera.








 Here is my Pocket Letter with the frames and camera pieces.




 And here are some pictures of a mini album I made using Stickles and Liquid Pearls to add some bling to the pages.

















Products Used:



Lindy's Stamp Gang Cosmic Pink Blue


Gold/Silver/Pink Stickles


Baby Blue/White Opal Ranger Liquid Pearl

Memory Keeping Organizer with Dividers


I had so much fun putting together this great organization station for my Project Life goodies! I used lots of items from Gina's Designs so I will list them now:



















This storage piece is a great size: 13x11.5 and 4 inches high. The final picture is listed first so that you can see the finished product:







As you can see, the back slot perfectly holds Pocket Letter Pages,


The middle slots hold 4x6 dividers and papers, and


The smaller slots hold 3x4 dividers, papers and embellishments





Here are the contents of the kit:








 Align everything without glue first to make sure the placement is right.


HINT: If it doesn't easily slide in place, flip it around or try the other identical piece.


Gina's Designs are made to fit together perfectly:-)












 Once you've figured out where the pieces are supposed to go,


glue the inner structure together first.








 Next, glue the side and back pieces, pressing firmly in place.




You're final result will look like this:




Now all you have to do is spray paint it and add some dividers:




Add fun embellishments:




 


And you're done!!!


Enjoy making this fun organizer


and personalize it with your favorite Gina's Designs Embellishments:-)
