Tuesday's Acrylic, Transparency, and Vellum Projects

Christine used a punch to cut out her vellum flowers. She hand cut her vellum cross and then ran it through her cuttlebug.

Robin used a vellum quote, a fancy pants "LOVE" transparency, and a transparency with the definition of awesome.

Sara used lots of transparencies on this layout. The over all page layout is a 12x12 transparency by Fancy Pants. She also added extra transparencies establishments under the larger one, such as the wings, heart and the blue swirly circles.

Sue used a base of patterned acrylic paper. She used some leftover clear Valentine's Day acrylics over on the left side and an acrylic butterfly under the smaller brown butterfly. The

title letters are brown acrylics and her circle is trimmed with

acrylic bling. She recycled a leftover piece of sticker backing to make a

clear transparency for my photo and stamped swirls on it using

Staz on Ink.

Sandra punched the butterflies out of vellum cardstock. The bottom one is from the Bigz Beautiful Butterfly die for the Big Shot from Stampin' Up! and the smaller two are from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit for the Big Shot (Stampin' Up as well). Then all three were layered and adhered by glue dots.

Lisa S. used a transparent framed tag and acrylic accents to embellish her card. The turtle image is a digi called "for you" from this months sponsor Squigglefly.

Monday's Acrylic, Vellum, or Transparency Projects

For this project, Kim used a 12 X 12 Fancy Pants overlay. She also wanted to use some vellum on this layout, so she used her cuttlebug to cut some flowers from the yellow vellum. She wrinkled it up and attached with a brad and some bling.

Denise used mini glue dots to adhere the vellum quote to her card stock. She then painted around it to hide the adhesive. Next she painted a piece of white rick rack green, added some glitter, prima flowers, and pearls. The little curly pieces of paper are card stock that were wound around a paintbrush and then glued to the card

Barb C used a vellum title that she mounted on blue cardstock and held in place with brads. The flowers on this layout were made from a pink transparency. Barb used a circle punch in two sizes. She fringed the larger circle and flipped the smaller circle over so it appeared to be a different shade. She added some Stickles, gems and pop dots to finish them off.

Deanne added acrylic dew drops to "Baby Elephant." The image is from this week's sponsor Squigglefly.

Corinna used an ornate frame transparency from Luxe Designs that covers the whole piece of cardstock. She added some adhesive gems and a rub-on title and date stamp on the top of the transparency and put her photo underneath.

Sasya used the Webster's Pages "Seaside Retreat" red vellum to creat her card.

This week's challenge is Felt, Fabric, or Tulle and is full of inspiring projects from our designers. This week is the last week for our designers Jamie and Julie. They will be missed very much!

The challenge runs from Monday, May 24th thru Saturday, May 29th at 5 pm ET. The grand prize will be three digis from Wink Wink Ink.

Friday's Fabric, Felt, and Tulle Projects

Amanda wrapped white tulle around the green frame that's surrounding the digi stamp that she created.

Lisa B used some Martha Stewart snowflake felt that she has had in her stash for a long time.

When looking through Caroline's patterned papers for her layout this week she came across one with a tailor's form. She decided to cut it out and make a skirt out of some fabric she had in her stash. She threaded some embroidery thread through the fabric, pulled it to make the waist and then finished it of with a button.

Carolina used tulle to embellish these three princess-themed mini books. You can have a peek at the inside of the books in her blog,Scrapping Nomad.

For her layout, Heidi used pre-made felt stickers, brown felt for the heart and border, green tulle, and red corduroy for the circles. She was also inspired by Pia's sketch for this week.

Thursday's Fabric, Felt, and Tulle Projects

Erin cut these cute dinosaurs from a worn pair of her son's pajammas. Since the rest of the fabric was quite stained and worn, she replicated the pattern by stamping her background cardstock to match. She also used pieces of matching felt from Fancy Pants.

For this week's project, Karen used a digi image for her main focal point on her card and accented it with pink felt embellishments she found hidden in her stash!

Pia used an old pair of jeans and cut out the pocket from them. She used a metallic frame to decorate and date the pocket. She also stuffed the pocket with things her ds loves: ice cream stick, pen and a paint brush. Pia used Cosmo Cricket pp´s and the background paper is Basic Grey "Periphery". Title in English: - This means trouble -

Lisa H used felt by Fancy Pants (flower, scallop border and word "YOU") on this layout featuring My Mind's Eye So Sophie papers. Lisa used Zip Dry Glue to adhere her felt embellishments quickly and easily.

To completely embrace this week’s challenge, Pam started with Donna Downey’s Canvas Apron. After using glimmer mist to create the background, she added a variety of fabric accents as embellishments. She used various fabric flowers by Prima, a canvas tag from Maya Roads Canvas Tag Album and the “laugh” applique from Donna Downey’s Fabric Words. As a final touch, she added some of Prima’s tulle ribbon.

Tanya used Wink Wink Ink's "Little Bird" digital stamp to make a birthday card for her daughter's friend. The digital sentiment on the inside reads "that I should wish you a happy birthday." Tanya also used two pre-made pink tulle flowers, and then made a matching white one for the triad of tulle flowers in the corner.

Wednesday's Fabric, Felt, and Tulle Projects

Kerri used felt, fabric, and tulle on her LO this week. First, she cut the scalloped square on her cricut using the Storybook cartridge, then she used her hole punch to punch a hole in the center of each scallop so she could lace the tulling through the holes. She then tied off the tulling by creating a bow in the top left corner. Also, she used fabric to create the fabric rose in center of the bow. And last, she used some stitched felt embellishments around her photo by Chatter B.O.X.

Beth "Swung" into the Felt and Fabric challenge by pulling out a couple of cute felt "Woolies" critters by Basic Grey from their Green at Heart collection of embellishments. Then she used the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge to cut a scallop border from white felt that she added to the photo mat. She finished the project by adding the "Swing" title that she cut using the Don Juan cartridge.

Jamie layered felt flowers on her card.

For her layout, Jessica created tulle flowers with button and bling centers; re-used a canvas tag from her daughter's jeans, and used fabric Thickers for part of her title.

Barb S made a cardstock template with her Cricut machine and Life is a Beach cartridge. She then traced the images onto Presto Felt (sticky back felt), cut them by hand and layered the pieces together to make fun palm tree embellishments for her "Day at the Beach" layout.

Angi made a gift bag for a baby shower. She cut the giraffe, the tag, and the "for you" sentiment using the "New Arrival" Cricut cartridge. She accented the bag with K & Company Wood Die flowers and topped them with yellow buttons. To finish off the bag, Angi added brown tulle, yellow ribbon, brown gingham ribbon, and a "smile" tag.

Tuesday's Fabric, Felt, and Tulle Projects

Christine used felt letters from Making Memories for her title.

Sara used a variety of felt on her layout. The felt half circles are from Close To My Heart.

Lisa S. pieced together a felt pear to embellish her note card.

Sue used fabric as the photo mat for the large photo. The title tag is fabric. The red heart and red flower are felt.

Robin used tulle to create the safety rope with buoy's along the bottom of the photos.

Sandra layered the retired Sweet Pea Stitched Felt flowers to make this card.

Monday's Felt, Fabric, or Tulle Projects

Kim used the Pup in a Boot image from our sponsor, Wink, Wink Ink. She used the one that is pre-colored. Her flower is about 30 layers of tulle cut with her smallest scalloped circle nesties. She also added just a touch of purple ink to the tulle.

Corinna used tulle rose ribbon from American Crafts' new Dear Lizzy line.

Sasya used three black felt flowers ("Fiesta Felt" from Buttons Galore) to decorate her layout.

Barb used some felt flowers from a Martha Stewart hair accessories kit. She added some paper flowers, glitter, and buttons to dress them up. She also used some flower tirm as the border around her circle. The ruffle is fabric embroidered with butterflies which was topped off with a piece of felt ric-rac.

Denise used a satin-like fabric to make these elegant white flowers. She then adhered a large pink rhinestone to the center.

Deanne used a pink lei she had in her stash for years. She altered the original "flower" shape by cutting them into smaller circles. Because they are an acrylic fabric, they can be "melted" with a heat embossing gun to give it texture and shape. The end result are held together with pearl brads.
