Stand Up Love Sentiments by Dianna's Crafts

Hi Everyone, Dianna here with Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts - Stand Up Sentiments - Love. I used the colors for the February Facebook Challenge - Pink, White and Silver.

I painted the love sentiment white. I then had Gina cut out the Love lettering from Yours Truly paper line. I glued pink paper first then off set the grey paper. I embossed the grey paper with silver and white embossing powder. I then used a pink distressed ink on both the pink and grey paper.

I painted the large heart from Build a layout Lovebirds white then colored it pink with a Copic Marker. I applied glossy accents to the heart and sprinkled white and silver beads. I cut out the man and women from Authentique - Crush -Cache. The dress was blue and I colored it pink. I painted the gears from the Gears Borders and Corners Miniatures white and used Stickles on the gears. I placed grey pearls and rhinestones in the center of the gears.

I painted the lovebirds white and colored the birds grey with Copic Markers. I cut one side of the heart vine and colored it white and pink.

I wanted the back of the Love to be pretty also. So, I painted the Heart of Gears white and then colored it pink. I used Stickles on the heart and placed grey pearls in the middle of the gears.

Thank you for looking!

Facebook February Challenge by Dianna's Crafts

Hi Everyone, Dianna here with Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts Facebook Craft Group monthly challenge. I choose a color challenge of Pink, White and Silver/Grey. The project must contain each of the three colors in it to quality to win at $10.00 gift coupon to Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts Store. Winner will be picked at the end of February.

Here is my tag of the month:

I used one of the tags from the Tags in a Box Display from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts. I painted a scrap of Graphic 45 black and white paper with white gesso. I then added two scraps of lace down both sides. I added a black rhinestone embellishment to the back ground.

I used the heart scroll border and lovebirds from Build a Layout Lovebird from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts and painted them both with a white paint pen. I used pink Copic Markers on the hearts. I then used Stickles on the whole piece. I cut the love birds out of the heart from the Build a Layout Lovebirds and used grey Copic Markers on the birds. I then used Stickles on the birds to bling them out a little. I found both of the pink flowers in my stash and glued them on.

I asked Gina to size down the Archway Chipboard Shape and painted it with a white paint pen. I then went over the leaves with two colors of green sharpie. The used Graphic 45's - Mon Amour and fussy cut the couple and roses out. I used chipboard pieces under the couple to give dimension and glued everything down. The other two roses are from another project. I then used pink, clear and pearl beads to create a tassel. I used silver heart and keys on the ends.

Thank you for looking and good luck on the challenge!

Mini Album by Dianna"s Crafts

Hi everyone, I hope the weather is treating you well and not dumping snow where you live. Below are the first six pages of my first ever mini album. This mini album was created for January's color challenge on Gina's Designs Craft Group located on Facebook. A designer for Gina's Designs and co-host of the Craft Group Page, Deann McNulty, challenged members to create an item using the below colors.

I decided to challenge myself even more and create a mini album. There was a lot of stress and yes, I will say it, cursing on my part, but it turned out to be a labor of love and something I really enjoyed creating. Please enjoy the first six pages of this mini album (yes it is completed and you will have to visit the Craft Group page or my blog page to see the finished product in a couple of days).

The first page is one of the last pages that I created. It has two folds that are interactive and fold upward. The key, flourish and double hearts are from Gina's Designs. I sprayed them with a favorite of mine, Maya Mist - Blue Agave and then used Stickles, a lime color, on them. All pages in this mini album were distressed with Vintage Photo ink. The owl is from Rubber Moon.

The second page is a sideways interactive fold that was punched and attached to the folder. The owl stamp was colored with Copic markers and placed on a Gina's Designs flourish and love ticket. Both chipboard pieces were sprayed with Maya Mist.

The third page has Gina's Designs scribble frame hearts and flowers. I left the top open so that a picture can be placed inside. The butterfly is from Gina's delicate frames and ornaments. I used Blue Agave on both, but with the butterfly, I sprayed it three times not waiting for it to dry. This gave it a tie dye effect. The owl is a punch from Hobby Lobby.

The fourth page is actually my first page. You can see the manilla folders used to create the 4 x 6 pouches that are used on each page. Inside each pouch is a pull out for two pictures (one on each side). The double hearts and dream butterfly frame are from Gina's Designs and sprayed with Maya Mist. The pocket was made with Taylored Expressions, Tag Pocket. I made the tags with my new Fiskers tag punch (very cool, it punches the tag, creates the hole and puts the eyelet).

The fifth page is an interactive downward fold. The flag with the word stamp was made with a Fiskers punch and the dragonfly was a punch. The inside flower was made with punches.

The sixth page was a downward interactive fold. The Love is from Gina's Designs 10 words and top was painted white and distressed. I punched out a small tag and cut out one of the flowers, poped it up and added a rhinestone.
