Hoarding ...

Sometimes when you dig deep looking for something that you just know you have in your stash, you might find something else long buried .. as in really, long buried. 

This card has been made with a very old Cardmaker's Christmas Creating Pack - yes, a really, really, old one from Hot Off The Press INC.

You can all stop laughing now ... but traditional Christmas papers will never 'date' ... so there!!!! 

My 'darling kids' believe that I am a hoarder ... and this card just proves it --- lol.

and a closer look

Happy creating everyone.

Popsicle sticks ...

Time for me to share a project.

Remember this wee sneak peek from a few weeks ago?

Well that wee sneak peek comes from this ...

I started off with the following :

Popsicle sticks - yep, a few plain old naked popsicle sticks

turned into something that looked like this ...

I mixed some gesso, some paint and some powder on my non stick craft mat.

Have to admit it was quite thick and I just kept adding to the mix until I was happy with the consistency - but I have to be honest here  I really did play and mix.

I plastered it on to my popsicle sticks quite thickly when I applied it.

And I was definitely unsure how it would turn out.

I painted them and left them overnight to dry properly - in fact if I remember rightly I might have left them for close to 24 hours, or thereabouts.

I was absolutely stoked with the way they turned out.

I will never look at a plain old popsicle stick the same way again.

I cut a piece of corrugated cardboard [the packaging from a Flying Unicorn box] and I adhered the popsicle sticks to the corrugated cardboard and then I recycled another piece of packaging and adhered to the underside to tidy it up and make it look a little more presentable.

I then layered and embellished with flowers, muslin, a variety of foliage - some of my metal dies had a really good workout, so too did my Cuttlebug.

I popped on a few sequins and added a little gesso as well.

That was my cover.

Now this cover is on the front of a mini album.

I kept the inside reasonably flat and I didn't add too many lumpy, bumpy embellishments, so that it would sit closed.

I stayed with the same colour scheme inside, green, black, pink, purple and yellow and a little teal blue - using the Prima Garden Fable note cards, flowers and leaves and I used a navy cardstock for the  background.

From the Flying Unicorn store :

Prima Garden Fable note cards
Prima Garden Fable leaves
Prima Garden Fable flowers [currently out of stock]
Prima metal doily die
13 Arts paint
13 Arts gesso
13 Arts powder
Kaisercraft butterflies

Happy creating everyone.
Until next time.
