Pazzles Craft Room Live In The Moment Card

Happy Wednesday Crafty friends,

It's my turn to share on the Pazzles Craft Room site today. So I decided to share a pretty but easy card you can make in no time at all!

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
For my card I used the Fancy Floral Frame cut file I found in the craft room. When I saw it, I thought...what a gorgeous file. The finished card size is 5 x 6.5.  I sized the frame a quarter inch smaller than the base. I wondered how it would cut and was not disappointed. It cut beautifully. Pazzles craft room files are all in the native .wpc pazzles format as well as the .svg format. So even if you don't own the Pazzles machine, having a subscription to the craft room is still a fantastic value. You have access to THOUSANDS of files for your crafting!

I then turned to my In the Moment stamp set. I used my Versamark Ink Pad  to stamp the flourished frame and then used some Stampendous Jeweled Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it. I then stamped the sentiment with my Cashmere Ink Pad.  I cut the sentiment out and then used some foam tape under it to give it a little lift.

I then added a bow and a Prima flower from my stash. The green mat and the colored mat under the frame are patterned papers from the DCWV Dear Jane Stack. The base was Colonial White Cardstock. I finished it off with some pearls from the Paper Studio.  The card doesn't have too much on it as I really wanted the frame to be the focal point of the card, it is such a beautiful file. This card came together fast and beautifully!


Supplies Used
Foam Tape

May Arts-DCWV Butterfly Mini Album

Happy Friday crafty friends,
I am super excited to share today’s project with you. I have been working on it off and on for the last few weeks. I had the opportunity to work with some beautiful May Arts Ribbons for their design team call. I was thrilled to make it to the second round. Anyone who has ever tried out for a design team knows how nerve racking it can be to put yourself out there like that. But nothing ventured...nothing gained. So after mulling several ideas around in my head and on my sketch pad, here is what I came up with. 

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
This is a view of the cover. It is a Butterfly shaped Mini Album. The cuts for the album actually came from a butterfly shaped card from PaperCraftingWorld.com. All of the pretty ribbon roses I made from some of their beautiful satin ribbon. If you want to learn how to make these roses, I have a video I made a while back showing how I did it with ribbon and one with paper. You can find them (Ribbon Version)HERE and (Paper Version) HERE.

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a closer look at the pretty focal flower. Not sure what to call it, so I will call it a daisy. I created this flower using the same technique for the tutorial flower below. I simply used some of their thinner satin ribbon. I layered it with three layers of "petals" and then added a pretty button for the center.

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a closer look at the pretty dress form die cut. I covered it with some of the light pink pleated satin ribbon (underneath) and then layered strips of the really pretty sheer pink ribbon. The bodice and the waist are decorated with their pearl and lace ribbon. I also used that same pearl and lace ribbon to outline the cover. I also used a layer of the light pink pleated satin ribbon to give it an extra soft look.

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a closer look at the pleated satin ribbon bow. I glued it to the ring I used to “bind” the pages together.

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a closer look at the other ribbon roses. All made from their pretty satin ribbon. I just added some pretty pearl beads to the centers. I used some really old metal shapes as flourishes. they were actually Christmas ornament holders that I thought were really pretty and just bent them to suit my needs.

Page 1.

Here’s a look at page 1 All of the papers used here came from the DCWV Primrose, Dear Jane and Vintage Collector Stacks. This also includes the pretty labels used through out. Many of the stacks now include a sheet or two of journaling spots and tags that perfectly coordinate with the stack.


GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a closer look at the pretty cluster of butterflies. They were punched from a variety of hand punches. I inked them and added some gems to some.

A simple bow from the crushed ribbon. Gorgeous ribbon! Used a Paper Studio brad for the center.

bfly-pg1-rosettes-490
Here’s a closer look at some of the little ribbon roses made from some more of the crushed ribbon. I love the pretty stick pin too. It was from my stash and had some pretty little beads on it.

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a look at page two. Again the papers were from the DCWV Vintage collectore and Dear Jane stacks. 

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Closer look at the cute little ribbon roses I made with some 2” pink satin ribbon. I used floral tape and some wire to create the stems. I bound them together with some more of that gorgeous crushed ribbon. I used an iridescent gem for the center of this double ribbon.

PAGE 3
GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a look at page three. I used the flourish frame cut file and some more of that beautiful DCWV Dear Jane stack papers and printed embellies.

bfly-pg3-frame490
You can see I added some little pearls around the frame. Very delicate and understate.

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a closer look at the ribbon “rosette’’. I simply used a needle and thread and did an in and out or slip stitch to gather the ribbon on one end. I glued a pretty button to the center and done!

PAGE 4
 GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a look at page four. You can see that I wrapped the photo mat with some of the white pleated satin ribbon and gathered it in the middle with a little ribbon rose. The papers on this page were from the DCWV Primrose stack. 

bfly=pg4-rpsettes490
Here are some more pretty little ribbon roses. I used some of that fabulous Sage pleated satin ribbon to make my leaves. Have them “pre-pleated” makes this as easy as just a snip of our scissors! I used one of the Circle medallion die cuts and then added some pearls around the outer drops.


GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a decorative die cut embellished with a Paper Studio gem.

PAGE 5
GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a look at page 5. I wrapped this mat with some of the velvet ricrac and some more of the crushed ribbon as a bow.


GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
I once again used the dress form die cut and then added some of the pink sheer ribbon. I cut it into strips and then layered it around the waist. I glued some more of that wonderful pearl and lace ribbon to the waist. The background papers are again from the DCWV Dear Jane and Primrose stacks.

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a closer look to show the simple scalloped circles with a nice gem brad.

PAGE 6 
GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a look at page six. For this page, I added some more of the pink pleated ribbon around my mat. The papers on this page are from the DCWV Vintage Collector’s stack.

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a closer look at the pretty bow on this page. Topped with a nice vintage button.

PAGE 7
GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a look at page seven. I used some more of the pretty DCWV Primrose papers on this page. 

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a look at the pretty natural wired burlap ribbon I used as a page border. Works perfectly with this paper.

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
I did distress the edges of this mat and ink them to give them a little more vintage look.

PAGE 8
GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Again, I used some of the gorgeous DCWV papers and utilized some of the pretty images on the paper to strategically cut it out for a pretty mat. I created the pretty ric rac flower on the bottom left using some more of the pretty crushed ric rac ribbon.

bfly-pg8-butterflies-490
Closer look at the hand punched butterflies. The weight of the DCWV paper is perfect. It is thin enough to work effectively in the punches yet stiff enough to allow me to bend them to give them some movement.


GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here's a closer look at my crushed velvet ric rac flower. 

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here are three little flower buds using the same ric rac. I finished them off with a leafy punch.


Flower Tutorial
bft-pg7-cuflower-490



Trim out of your ribbon 10 petals. To make the petals easy, I folded my ribbon in half, so both sides would be symmetrical. Please note: The picture shows only 8. That’s because I started scorching the edges to a couple before I realized I hadn’t taken a pick of the plain petals.


Next, take a lighter and gently scorch the edges of your petals. This causes the edges to curl up and also cauterizes them so they don’t fray.



Next, I used a circle punch and punched out a circle out of some scrap cardstock. I then glued five petals as the base layer.


I did the same thing again with a second layer. I simply “staggered” the second layer so that the petals would be offset.


Finally, I took a piece of ricrac and folded it around my gem. I glued that to the center and done! That’s it. really easy peasy. The crushed ribbon has all those wonderful creases and that added the perfect amount of “distressing” to make the petals look more natural.

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a closer look at the finished ribbon on my page. I layered it onto a piece of pre-wired ribbon to create the pleated “rosette” at the bottom. I once again used some of that gorgeous sage satin pleated ribbon to make my leaves.

I will be sharing how I made a couple of the other flowers soon.

It was such a pleasure and I really enjoyed it.
