Bee Arty - Forever my Always

                                                                    Hello Bee Arty Friends

Today I am sharing a set of 3 cards using cutouts from Forever My Always collection

The photos below are quick easy steps to produce a lovely set that is tactile and layered

After cutting the flowers and extra leaves out I played around with placements

I also added placements of words. I wasn't happy with the word or placement in below photo, so in end result it didn't make the cut ! LOL

Then I concentrated on the background layer and once I was happy started layering

Until next time

Happy crafting

Faith Pocock Studio - Pen and Drawer Holder

                                                                       Morning crafters

I have my second project to share from Faith Pocock Studio called Pen and Drawer Holder

Following my normal process, taking pieces out from bag and sorting them out along with the paper I want to use

Using Mod Podge covering all the drawer fronts

I then glued the drawers together and did a dry run without gluing the main body

Time to start gluing with my trusty Art Glitter Glue

At this stage I also decided to glue paper onto the sides

You can see here... yes I made a mistake and glued the wrong side !!! LOL A few choice words were used at this stage and a glass of wine was had!

The following pictures are the steps at which I glued them

And finally after many attempts its done... this project is definitely not falling apart!

I have chosen a light duck egg blue for the pieces that aren't covered in paper

Finised result... I LOVE it ... And yes, I used second hand books to fussy cut the bird images

I am addicted to all these lovely strage projects... just cant get enough... I will have to get a picture together that shows them all on my desk and show you all one day.

Until next time

Faith Pocock Studio -

Morning crafters

Today I am sharing my next storage solution from Faith Pocock Studio called Large Storage and Paper Organiser

 Warning... this is a very photo heavy post, but hopefully gives you a good idea on the way I assembled it.

As always lay your pieces out, that way you can get an idea on where they fit together

 

I picked out the easiest part to glue together with Art Glitter Glue which was the 3 x drawers

Then started on main body - laying the back piece on the table I glued in the middle insert the started glueing in the dividers which will hold my journals I am working through

Once all glued I left to the side to dry

I then glued in the drawers dividers, sides and bottom

I placed the drawers on top to add a little weight to project while the glue set

Then I picked out paper and started to cut what I wanted

These were then glued in place with Mod Podge, and also sealed with Mod podge to protect it

Place the draws in and pick out a paint colour to go with the paper

All painted! Now to choose some flowers to fussy cut out of some beautiful New Zealand books found at hospice

All cut

Mod Podged into place

These drawers a BIG! I had fun filling them. Bottom is full of old material, middle is full of stunning lace and top drawer is full of tea dyed dollies

All my journals I am working on,,,,

I am really impressed with this project. So heavy and sturdy. The size makes it very usable to all bits and bobs. The measurements are 11.8in length and height and the width is 9.7in

Until next time
