Lavendar Haze Kit Blitz 3


Mini Book:
 The first thing to do is to cut up two of the tag sheets. A large one and the small one. Next arrange them in an order that you like.
Cut some coordinating ribbons and zigzag the ribbons to the ends of each card. NOTE: you can do two at once and make pockets as well. I made 6 pockets by stitching the small cards back to back. Next sew the ribbons gradually together to form a spine for your book. {You could also staple them together}


Using the small Tim Holtz stencils as a guide, I cut six tags, two from each color card stock, then six 1/2 inch smaller of the kit paper scraps.
Ink your edges before securing the pattern paper to the background tag.


I dabbed black gesso onto each stencil, then used a roller tool with a paper towel in between to transfer the pattern to the front and back of each tag.

I embellished each tag with a dragonfly from the sticker sheet, then added a ribbon through the holes.
This is the finished top view. I will be adding photos, sentiments and personalizing it as a graduation gift for my Grand Daughter!
Check back next Friday for more Lavendar Haze Kit work!

Lavendar Haze Kit Blitz 2


Its a trinket catch-all box
We don't actually eat a lot of this cheese, but, I have been hanging onto these sturdy little boxes for forever! They were the perfect base for this project.
Open view
After looking over the kit papers, I chose to cut a 1" border for each of the 6 boxes. I glued as well as stapled the borders to each box. NOTE: they will not cover the entire perimeter, but I glued the uncovered portion to the paper background, so you cannot see it. This will also allow for a good adhesion.
I picked a background piece and played around with the box placement. I penciled a thin registration line for each layer.
I used double sided tape for the magnets and secured them to a piece of sewers waist band tape. I ran the tape the full length of the webbing, allowing for an overlap piece. I also decorated the flap end with a piece of ribbon, then sandwiched the bottom flap in the lower folded edge of the background paper.
 This made it very sturdy, you could also use a piece of pliable chipboard or other such cardboard.
 

Using one of the lids, I simply created a circle temple slightly larger than the actual lid. Cut the edges at 1/4 inch intervals so it would shape over the lip. I stapled a reinforcement piece of webbing to the outside edge, then added double sided tape and covered the rim with ribbons from the kit.

 More to come soon, this is a HUGE paper kit!

Lavendar Haze June Kit Blitz

Selena has done it again. She has put together a gorgeous 
limited run Kit pack for June 
This kit is has an amazing assortment of double sided 12 x 12 papers that includes 2 of each sheet! 6 coordinating quality cardstock. Stunning silver emboss vellum, a pack of 50 buttons, Washi tape dragonfly charm, tiny clothes pegs, die-cuts, a huge pack of ribbon, dauber tool, embossed sentiment, as well as the matching sticker sheet!
I haven't tried my hand at a card for a very long time
Fooled around with a fancy edger trimmed up the stack
NOTE: I cut a scrap piece the same size as the emboss sheet to do the cuts first to make sure they would fit properly with my punch!
 I wanted the emboss to show up a bit more so first placed some water soluble distress ink pad prints on the craft sheet. Then spritzed it with water.
Then pulled it into the dauber and placed random color dots.
I flipped it over to spread the ink and give a light watercolor effect
And there it is! a card top!
