Curled paper tutorial

Here is the tutorial that I had posted on theCrop yesterday for the CropChocolate DT on making curled paper embellishments

Materials from CropChocolate: Fancy Pants random pack of cardstock, Teresa Collins music sheet cardstock, Walnut Stain distress ink.

Materials non CC : buttons, bakers twine, amazing mold putty, wreath, hot glue, faux stamen, pencil, water.

You'll want to have any type of die cutter and or punches as well... to cut out and make flowers for your wreath - I really do prefer the handmade flowers to the store bought ones! Ink your flower edges, crinkle and stack your layers.. insert any centers you'd prefer.. beads, jewels, pearls, fake stamen! Grab a wreath from your favorite craft store and any buttons, resin pieces, twine, and or ribbon.. and of course don't forget your flowers!! Now.. ONTO the fillers! (Twirled and rolled paper)

Steps:

1) Cut your paper into long skinny triangles. I usually do between 6 and 8 inches long. The widest part of the triangle is only about a 1/2 - 1 inch.

2) Ink your edges!

3) Lay your pieces out on a flat surface (wherever you splatter paint) and spritz with water.

4) Allow to soak in for a couple of seconds.

5A) For rolling paper beads -- grab your pencil and wrap the paper around the pencil tight and taught.. starting with the fat end of your triangle and overlapping the paper all the way to the tip of the triangle.

5B) For curling paper -- grab your pencil and wrap the paper around the pencil tight and taught.. starting with the fat end of your triangle.. but instead of overlapping stretch your paper DOWN the pencil while you twirl it around.

6) Allow to dry on your pencil

7A) For rolling paper beads -- remove your paper.. run a bead of your favorite glue at the tip of the triangle and roll back up!

7B) For curling paper -- just remove from your pencil and it will be in a stiff spiral!

8) Repeat until you have a nice pile of both

-I'm going to  link up to SimonSaysStampandShow this week as it's anything goes-

Jeez.. time is flyin' by me like no other..

here is the project that I posted on the Basically Bare blog yesterday.. My rainbow road :)

Reveal and some news

Well.. the list is out for the Graphic 45 DT -- and I did not make it, but I was very honored to make it to the top 30 -- and it just leaves more time open for things of my own that I'd like to accomplish -- I hit the Joanns paper sale and got tons of paper to start forking out flowers!!

I also just purchased a PAZZLES -- so be on the lookout for work from that baby :)

Here is the project that I sent into the Graphic 45 office for consideration as a member

will fill in the details on this later!

Sneak Peek..

I did in fact complete a brand new project for the box that went into Graphic 45 as a 30 finalist...

and as I'd love to share the WHOLE thing.. I'm only going to give you a sneaky peeky..

12x12 - The Two of Us

Year 2008 for my commission :) 

products used: KnCO paper, EP alpha stickers, AC pearl brads, distress inks, burlap, eyelents, KnCO rhinestones, Pink paislee wood alphas, photo corners, faux stamen, pearls, don juan cricut cartridge

12x12 "Quite the pair"

(If you're looking for the CropChocolate blog hop please scroll down!!)

This layout was done for a gal who commissioned 6 layouts for her album.. she does yearly photos of her and her husband. I'll show them one at a time throughout the next few days.

Products used:

BoBunny Gabrielle paper, Bobunny Gabrielle chipboard adhesive pieces, Art Blanche alphas, vintage buttons, vintage lace, baker's twine, Heritage cricut cartridge, recycled chipboard, vintage photo distress stain, embossing folder, Martha Stewart butterfly punch. 

I got the inspiration from this partly from a page I did previously.. but more from the BoBunny inspiration for the Layout Challenge this month.. I took inspiration from the divided window, the turquoise tan and coral colors, and the banner which I ended up turning into a line of rolled paper pieces.

Looks like I missed the link up so I'll just post on their FB page :)
