Mother's Day Vintage Style Fan Video Tutorial

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share a beautiful and very thoughtful gift to give for Mother's Day, or any Summer time occasion.  These are quick and fun to make, and the addition of Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts will add so much detail and dimension without adding the bulk.

I have made a step-by-step process video showing every step of the way to making one of these beautiful fans.  I am using lots of embossing powder and 3D paint techniques, and I will share a few tips or pointers for working with chipboard and making the fan in general.  This video is especially good for beginners as well as experienced crafters.

Beauty Begins in Spring Tag by Pam Bray

Hi Gypsy Soul Fans...Pam here today sharing with you my "Beauty Begins" Tag!!! Spring is in the air and with  that being said we need to always remember to just be ourselves. Just as the flowers bloom, the butterflies fly in all their glory it is a reminder of  being yourself.

I began my tag by first painting the Butterfly of Gears and Scribble Frame Butterfly with the distress paints; dry.

While the chipboard is drying; cover one of the Chipboard Decorative XL Tags with pattern paper.

Layer the Chipboard Decorative XL Tags with pattern paper and border strips.

Add Steampunk Doily (contact store) under Scribble Frame Butterfly

Adhere prepared Scribble Frame Butterfly to top  of the Epherema Card. Adhere to front of prepared tag.

Adhere Butterfly of Gears to top of tag.

Add pretty ribbon to the top of the prepared tag along with a few metal gears.

 Add flowers and beads to the tag.

I hope you enjoy your Spring days creating fabulous projects using Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts Chippies...make sure to check out the store for all the newest products. Hugs Pam
