Standing Flip Book by Dianna

Hi Everyone, Dianna here with a collaboration with Gina's Designs and The Robin's Nest.  I chose Gina's Designs Standing Flip Book to use with The Robin's Nest Cardstock.  I simply adored using the Saffron Sunrise and the Venice Collection Cardstock.

First I spray painted the Standing Flip book bronze (make sure you do not spray paint the notches and do not let paint get into the holes).  On the corners of the stand and underneath frame I used Gina's Art Deco Corner Set.   I traced chipboard pages onto The Robins Nest, Saffron Sunrise Collection Cardstock, and cut out and distressed with ink while watching a movie.  I used Twinkling H20's on all the chipboard pieces.  Above, I used a piece from Gina's Parisian Shape Set, used punch to create the fleur-de-lis and added two buttons. The Robin's Nest Cardstock used are Striped Honeycomb and Fleur Honeycomb.

 

I used Gina's Lace Border Stick and The Robin's Nest Cardstock - Saffron Honey.

On this page I created a fold out using a cracker box and clipped it back with a key paperclip.  I used three different fall off from left over paper that I cut the pages from The Robin's Nest.  I had fun with the Twinkling H20's and created a burnished effect by layering the H20's light to dark.  I use a foam makeup applicator to apply each color.

This is the backside of the fold out.  I used The Robin's Nest, Fleur Honeycomb Cardstock and Time Flies Rub-on.

I thought this picture showed how nicely the Standing Flip Book pages looked with The Robin's Nest Cardstock (Fleur Honeycomb)  The butterfly is from Gina's Designs (special order).  I used Twinkling H20's to create the tarnished effect.  

On the last picture (there are actually 12 different pictures, 6 per side of the flip) I used Gina's Deco Lattice Panel 2 and The Robin's Nest, Stripe Tropicana cardstock.  I used Twinkling H20's on the lattic and some extra flowers to pull in some the green from the frame.  This picture is on the backside of the flip out and part of the key paperclip is showing. Thank you for looking!

"Timeless Memories" Folio by Kim C.

This week I have made a mini album or folio for a benefit for someone that lost their home to a very major fire.  I used the tutorial from My Sisters Scrapper on youtube.  This was very quick to make.  I love the way it came out.

The front cover I used words from Words & Phrases #1 which I painted with snowtex to give them some dimension.  I cut a clock from Skeleton Clocks Set; half was used on the cover and the other half on the inside.  I used snowtex on them and then I used distress ink on it also.  I added flowers and twine from my stash.  I also added dew drops from The Robin's Nest.

I then used a key and keyhole from the Keys & Plates set.  I used snowtex on them, then I used distress inks to give them an aged look.  I used on the edge of the folio hinges from the Hinges Set.  Again I used snowtex and distress inks to give them an aged look.

The inside of the folio will hold 15 photos in the waterfall section.  On the opposite side is a pocket with tags with the other half of the skeleton clock. Flowers and twine from my stash. were also added.

I hope you like what I have created this week.

Thanks for stopping!!

Two Thought Provoking Cards

Hello everyone!  Barbara here, and I am in a card making mood.  It might be because I have several birthdays on the horizon, and I am in dire need of masculine cards.  My first card is made with the male recipient in mind, while the second card could go either way just by changing the bicycle.  

As you know, we have been featuring papers and embellishments from The Robin's Nest this month.  I love the quality of their products, and I know you will, too.

Directions:

Clockworks Penny Farthing Card

Cover front of 5"x7" kraft card with the brown herringbone print from the Regent Street paper pad.



Cut Graphic 45 paper to 5"x7", distress edges.  Tear a "V" from the top, large enough to fit a gear behind the opening.  Distress edges with paper distressor tool, edge with Vintage Photo distress stain. The stain gives the edges a burnt look.  Mist corners with water and curl around the end of a paint brush.  Let dry.

Stamp sentiment (One Penny for Your Thoughts) onto a fussy cut printed label from the Steampunk Botanica pad with black archival ink.

The Clockworks Penny Farthing was inked with Vintage Photo and Black Soot Distress stains.  The two gears were inked first with Vintage Photo distress stain, then Tarnished Brass and Antique Bronze distress stains.

I could not resist adding a spinner to the center of the Penny Farthing (below). I love the two-toned effect on the chipboard from the two distress stain colors.

In this photo, you can see the gold gear that I slipped behind the torn away paper, and on top, I added the second gear with another tiny spinner.

Before adhering the stamped label with foam dots, I heated a section of film strip to "wrinkle" it.

My next card could be either feminine or masculine, just by changing the bicycle to a boy's bike.

Life is a Beautiful Ride Card

Cover front of 5"x7" kraft card with The Robin's Nest Saffron Honey paper.  Distress the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink.



Use the reverse side of the Saffron Honey paper to punch a decorative strip and adhere along left edge of card.



Use a Versamark pen to color the bike, and heat emboss with Glacier embossing powder.  The tires were heat embossed with Midnight Black embossing powder, while the pedal, handlebar, and seat were heat embossed with Black Puffs embossing powder.



A tiny pieceof olive green paper was glued behind the basket section, while two larger metal gears were glued to the wheels.  A tiny watch part was glued above the pedal.

I cut apart one of the chipboard pieces from the Mixed Media Fragments 2 set and colored the arrow with Vintage Photo distress stain, then dabbed the Peeled Paint Distress Paint randomly over the top.

The other section I cut away from the Mixed Media Fragments 2 set were colored with the Peeled Paint Distress Paint and adhered to the card, as shown.

I cut apart a piece of the chain border and colored with Antique Bronze distress stain. Then I dabbed the chain randomly with a Versamark pen, and heat embossed with the Glacier embossing powder to give it a patina.

I used Big Chat Stickers and Label Letters to form the sentiment "life is a beautiful ride".

A Special Layout with The Robin's Nest

Hello everyone. Shanna here to share a layout with you today! 

I am using some fabulous products from The Robin's Nest to create this layout. 

I used some 12x12 paper, the sentimental rub-on, and the dew drops from The Robin's Nest.

I did lots of stamping, spraying, and inking.

My favorite part is pulling out some gears. I just love my Gears Shape Set!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Make sure to keep coming back for more.

"A Moment in Time" Layout with Robins Nest Paper by Kim C.

 Hello! Kim here with a layout using papers from The Robin's Nest. The picture I used in my layout is my grandmother. She was a sweet and very wonderful lady and I miss her very much. 

The paper I used from the Robin's Nest for the back ground is Honeycomb Fleur Cardstock.  I then used Tropicana Fleur Cardstock for the photo mat along with cream colored cardstock.  I used from Gina's Designs the chipboard frame called Flourished Frame Connie.  Gesso was used to soften it up just a little bit.  You can still see the natural color of the chipboard.

Along the right side of the photo I made a flower cluster that has a piece of chipboard called Tudor Rose Singes.  I cut it in half and used some of the negative pieces to add some swirls.  I also used gesso on these pieces as well.  Some diamond dew drops in a frosted white from The Robins Nest was then added.

At the bottom left of the photo I added more of the negative pieces coming out of the flowers.  I also added a script word cluster from Words & Phrases 1. 

I hope you like this weeks project.  It was a very emotional project for me.

Stalker Layout by Nancy

It's Nancy here with a layout featuring my cat Missy.  This month the Design Team combined Gina's awesome chipboard shapes with animal print papers from The Robin's Nest.   I chose the leopard print and I distressed it with some script stamping, then dragged it through some Tim Holtz distress inks that I watered down on my non-stick craft mat.  It came out tea dyed just like I wanted.  I surrounded Missy in grasses from Gina's Designs, and some ferns I had in my stash.  The leopard butterflies are by Renea Bouquets. I hope you like it!
