I do believe in Fairies!! Layout by Lynne

I absolutely love the wire fairy sculptures by Fantasywire, and have used several of them on layouts; I loved how magical this fairy image looks in the gorgeous frame from Gypsy Soul!

I used the Flourished Open Circle frames and Prima Royal Menagerie papers, fussy-cutting elements from the papers and adding layers and handstitching for interest and dimension. When I handstitch on a project, I usually draw my lines in pencil then poke the holes with a good-sized needle or pin, working with a mouse pad under the project as I pierce it. It is much, MUCH easier to stitch when the holes have been premade like this, and a lot easier on the paper too! I usually use 2 or 3 strands of embroidery floss, depending on the thickness I want.

This butterfly was painter with acrylic paint then heat embossed in clear; I allowed the melted embossing powder to swirl around a bit and make the colours flow.

This butterfly was also painted with acrylic paint and then inked a bit with coordinating colours, but the layer of clear embossing powder was thinner and just meant to give it a bit of a sheen.

The frames and word pieces were all primed in white, then heat embossed with Donna Salazar embossing powder in Jasmine, which created a lovely smooth and shiny surface. I then sponged them with dusty rose pigment ink to echo the colours in the papers.

I popped up the fussy cut bits with some foam tape and added some of my beloved stenciling, and some acrylic dots which echo the touch of warm colour in the photo. I hope you liked my page and wish you a magical day!

Happy Birthday Honey by Cherry Nelson

Hello there GSLC peeps!  Cherry here at the Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts Blog. 

 I created a fun bee card to share. 

I started by embossing the Flourish Open circles frame and stackable labels shapes.  

 Then covered my card in papers and stamps.

 From here I added ribbon.

 I then added my embellishments

 I added a bit of character to the inside as well.

Thanks for visiting the GSLC blog, Cherry

Thankful Frame

Hi Everyone,
Jess here today with a super fun and easy Fall decor project.  This project uses two different frames from Gypsy Soul the Flourished Open Circle Frame(Medium) and the Round Grapevine Frame(coming to the store soon).

Cover your frames in Emerald Creek Embossing powder in Charred Gold.

 Line the back of the large frame with paper.  I used Distress Crayons to age the paper .  Glue on your paper doll and give her some pops of color using Distress Markers.

The vintage flowers were dyed using Distress Spray Stain and bundled with ribbon.  Glue on paper flowers,leaves, and sentiment.

  Flick metallic and black paint all over the piece.  And just like that you're done!

A perfect little hostess gift. 

Enjoy! 

Jess

Victorian Clock Decore

Hi and welcome to our Gypsy Soul Laser cut blog today... I hope that you are having a wonderful week now that summer is officially here and it's time to get out all those crafty supplies and have some fun.

Today I am sharing a pretty piece of decor thatIi made to put up in my victorian inspired craft room using a few of the "Alarm Clock" chipboard pieces as my base and lots of other goodies from the store.

My crafty room is very special to me and its the only room in my house that really shows the victorian side of me so every once in a while I find something really pretty and have to make up a new piece to put up in my room.  And this project was really fun to make and will fit in perfectly.

To make it I layered lots and lots of chipboard pieces and added this beautiful spray of flowers and ribbon.  And of course lots of glitter to make it sparkle.  Below is a quick tutorial on how I did it so please join me.

WhenIi start a project I always like to gather up lots of goodies from my stash that I think might work really good and keep them close at hand.  Not everything will work but at least the creative part of my brain can be inspired andI don't have to go searching around for much.

So... First I layered up the clock frames and the flourish and glued them together and let it dry really good before I painted it.

Then I used chalky paint in white and covered all the pieces with a good coat of paint and also did the back when it dried.  I sanded it just a little on the edges to make it more worn looking.

For the new "Swirl Medallion"  I wanted to make it stand out so I chose 2 soft colors of pink to ink it. The lighter I did on the whole medallion and the darker i shaded around the edges.   Then I sprinkled it with clear embossing powder and heat set it to make it glisten.  I glued this in the center of the clock.

Then I took adhesive and spread a good layer on the bells on the top and sprinkled them with a multi crystal glitter mix and let it dry.  To make the flower spray i scrunched up a small piece of white gauze and glue it on the left side and then I layered on the dotted ribbon that you see and lots of white foliage and flowers that I had.  I love roses and this is great because I can keep them beautiful for a long time to come.  I also added a little bit of glitter to the flower spray just because I can :)

I hope you like my new project and don't forget to stop by and see all the other projects we have to share and our Facebook page and Pinterest too.

Capture Thanksgiving Memories with Bracket Edged Stagger Album

Hello, Friends!  It's Kathy here with a great way to capture the memories from fall family gatherings.  Our great big noisy family loves Thanksgiving.  We also enjoy creating photo booths for our family gatherings.  We get great snapshots as everyone has fun hamming it up with various props.  This charming little album is the perfect spot to chronicle those events and maybe even tuck in a recipe or two.

 

The elegant Rose Tudor Singles chip looks great with these Authentique Harvest papers.  I used a mix of the Fall Shapes Set and some additional flourishes on the inside.  And I'll show you how I built this album step by step in this Snapguide tutorial.

Valentine's Day Layout

Hello Friends!  Debbie with you today sharing a fun layout featuring Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts Flourished Circle Frames .  With Valentines Day coming up and one of the most celebrated days of the year, I couldn't help but scrapbook this cute photo of my husband and sweet grand daughter!  The Flourished Circle Frames were perfect for highlighting the photo and the bump out at the bottom of the page.

I altered the frames by simply inking them with red chalk ink and then added some Stickles to give it a blingy feel.  Next I rubbed them with Metallic Rub in Red.

Trinket Box Trio

Hi everyone! Marla here with my final project. It's been so much fun to be a part
of the team for the month of December! For this project I decided to make a few
trinket/jewelry boxes in a summer/beach theme.

 I altered a trinket box and 2 ATC shrines that Gina
carries in the store. I wanted to go with a beach/summer theme so I painted
them black and covered them with G45 Tropical Travelogue paper

 On
the top of the trinket box I used one of the flourished open circle frames from the store as well as the Art Deco corners. I
used textured paint on the frame to give it a sandy feel and painted it with black
and teal and a hint of white.

 I
covered the inside with the beautiful paper and also put some soft felt to line
the bottom of the box.

I altered the ATC shrines into little earring display boxes. I simply screwed
two eye hooks inside each of the boxes. You are then able to hang your favorite earrings.
Check out Gina's Designs to pick up all the items I used and more!

I
hope you enjoyed my creations as much as I did making them! 

Happy
Holidays!
