Stamperia Daisies and Bees Altered Box with Tutorial

Hello, Friends!  It’s another Wonderful Wednesday and I have a darling Daisies and Bees Altered Box to share with you.  Whilst rummaging around in the Closet of Inspiration, I found a neat little wooden box that my sister had passed along to me.  The minute I touched it, I just knew that I was going to dress it up with paint, stencils, Reneabouquets Beautiful Board and papers from Stamperia Daisy Art.

Box Altering Tips and Tricks

What a glorious, messy, creative process that was!  My box measures 5″ x 5 1/2″ x 4″ with the lid closed.  I did not do a tutorial for the box, as everyone’s box will be a different size.  But here are a few tips:

TIPS: 

  • First, find a tiny screwdriver and remove the latch and the hinges, then paint the box.  I used Stamperia Aqua Pearl Patina Matte Paint for this.  Set the box aside and let it dry.
  • Next, measure the box, inside and out, and cut papers to fit.  Adhere all the papers at the same time.
  • Now, add texture with Ranger Grit Paste and a stencil.  I chose a simple script motif.
  • Then, layer on your embellishments.  This is always the fun part!  use foam tape to add depth and dimension on the top of the box.  Mustard seeds (from spice aisle of your local grocery store) provide a fun natural feel.
  • Finally, re-attach the metal hardware you removed in the first step.  Then screw in some decorative box feet for the perfect finishing touch.

Once you’ve finished with the outside of the box, you can fill the interior.  The box would provide great decorative storage for buttons, metal charms, spools of thread or ephemera.  I decided to create a stack of tags and mini folios to go inside my box.

In case you want to create these same tags and folios, I’ve provided a video tutorial for those elements.

Stamperia Daisy Art Folio Tutorial Part 1

Stamperia Daisy Art Folio Tutorial-Part One-Kathy Clement-Kathy by Design

Stamperia Daisy Art Folio Tutorial Part 1

Hello, Friends!  It’s May, and we’re starting a brand new series with this Stamperia Daisy Art Folio Tutorial.  Oh, this collection is so full of my favorite colors and happy vibes!  I just had to create an interactive folio to show off all its beauty!  We’ll create the first part of the folio this week, then (hopefully!) finish it up in next week’s Wonderful Wednesday tutorial.

I shared a walk through video of this paper collection last month.  In case you missed it, you can view it HERE.  It is selling out fast, as all beautiful papers have a tendency to do, but there are still quite a few pieces of the collection left.  I’ve linked to them below, as well as tagged them in the YouTube video.

So many of you asked me to make a mini album or a folio this month.  I hope this 8 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ x 1″ folio base will inspire you to create.

Even if  you are a card-maker, there are a lot of features in this tutorial that can be used on a card.  And, you don’t have to use these papers (although why would you NOT want to use them?).  Build the base with me, and then use your own favorite papers to customize the design.

This week we will build the folio base, embellish the cover and create the left hand panel.  The video is loaded with technique, so I invite you to grab a cuppa and a snack, relax and enjoy!

 

 

Here’s another look at that left hand flap page.  Oooh, so many fun elements can be found here!

I’ll be back next week with Part 2 of this tutorial.  We’ll finish the interior and add the lace spine.  So set your clocks, and I’ll see you here next week!

Remember: you can find basic measurements for this project in the description box below the video on my YouTube channel.  I’ve also linked a supply list there.

As always, you can find a linked supply list below this post as well.

WOW As Many as You Can Card Challenge Tutorial

Paper Rose Words of Wisdom-WOW-as-many-as-you=can-card challenge-tutorial-Kathy Clement-Kathy by Design-Reneabouquets

WOW As Many as You Can Card Challenge Tutorial with Paper Rose Words of Wisdom
A “Use Your Scraps” Project

Hello, Friends!  Welcome to a Wonderful Wednesday As Many as You Can Card Challenge Tutorial.  We are going to have so much fun using up our beautiful bits and pieces of  the Paper Rose Words of Wisdom collection.  We will be creating 4 greeting cards using only our designer paper scraps, cardstock from my stash, and gorgeous Reneabouquets paper pretties.

Lately, I’ve been on a mission to “use up” the collection I’m working with instead of stashing it away in the Closet of Inspiration (formerly known as “The Closet of Shame”).  Why let those precious bits and pieces languish in the dark when you can use them to make tags and greeting cards?

So that is our mission for today.  Are you ready to get started?

Do Everything with Love Cut Away Card with Pop Out Box

Our first project is this gorgeous cut away shaker card featuring printed Beautiful Board from Reneabouquets.  Even the card base is made from scraps!  There’s a really sweet pop out box/gift card wallet hidden on the inside.  You’ll want to add this card design to your card making toolbox for sure.

Butterflies and Fairy Cut Away Shaker Card

Blue and yellow has to be one of my favorite color palettes for spring and summer card making.  It’s like looking at golden sunshine in a crystal blue sky, isn’ t it?

This square cut away card base is also made with scraps.  I sure do love clearing scraps off my work space instead of letting them pile up, don’t you?

Once again, I’ve featured Reneabouquets flowers and beautiful board on this shaker frame.  It’s a great way to create a “finished” card when you are running low on journal cards or focal images.

Bluebirds and Dragonflies Sympathy Card

Sympathy cards are in the category of “I hope I don’t have to make one”.  But when you do, you want it to be really special.  Even though I’ve used the same blue and yellow color palette here, the card still has a feeling of peace and serenity.  The smaller patterns from the 6×6 pad and the simple shaker frame contribute to that.

Botanical Birdies

What is it about sweet wee birds that always makes me happy?  This printed Beautiful Board image from Reneabouquets is one of my all-time favorites.  I’m excited to share the sneaky little tricks I used to turn “not enough paper” into a beautifully layered card front.  It’s one you’ll want to add to your toolbox for sure.

If you’d like to see me meet the challenge of creating as many cards as I can from scraps, then please grab a cuppa and a snack and enjoy this tutorial on my YouTube channel.

Coming in May!

Next week is the first Wednesday in May.  How did that happen so fast?  We’ll be starting a new mini album tutorial series featuring the Stamperia Daisy Art collection. I shared a preview reel of the collection HERE.  You will find a linked supply list of the products we’ll be using in the description box below the product share on my YouTube Channel.

Can’t wait to get started!  How about you?
