Boo Bird House ~ Tammy

 

Hi all! Thought I would revisit a project that I made a few years ago. The Halloween season is just around the corner and perfect time to make a few for the kiddo's or loved ones in your life! 

 

We are gonna be making a treat box. I Call it a "Boobird" House! LOL Here are the directions have fun! Oh and you can use any theme you like! Here is what you will be making!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sale Ends Tonight

A little 'wow'...

Time for me to share a little creativity.

I'm going to share with you how I made the base of this card - it really is so easy to put together and it really does have that 'wow' factor.

A warning though - photo heavy.

 

 

How did I make this card?

  

 

Cut one piece of cardstock 10" x 5" wide and score in half.

 

 

Cut one piece of patterned paper 4 and 3/4" square.

 

 

Cut one piece of cardstock 4 and 1/2" square.

I have used a Marianne Design metal die - centre - hold in place with a small piece of washi tape to hold in place and run through Cuttlebug or similar.

 

 

Cut one piece of patterned paper 4 and 1/4" square.

Position a circle metal die in the centre of your paper - add a piece of washi tape to hold in place and run through Cuttlebug or similar.

 

 

Now adhere your largest piece of patterned paper, centred on your card base.

 

 

Adhere your smallest piece of patterned paper on your 4 and 1/2" cardstock.

 

 

 Flip over and adhere foam mounting squares or dots to lift this layer.

 

 

Flip back and adhere as you can see in this photo.

 

 

This forms the base of your card.

Now embellish.

Add a little muslin, some flowers, some leaves, feathers, baubles, tags and string.

On this card I have threaded some snowflakes on some plastic wire and entwined them in amongst the flowers and baubles.

 

 

A closer look at that embellishment cluster.

Fun with the OTP from the Sept KOM~Tammy

Hello everyone!! Tammy here today, excited to share a step by step process with you today on how I made my OTP candlestick with you! It came in the Sept KOM Main kit the Main kit. Flying Unicorn always includes a cool off the page project. This months candlestick was for me a very fun one to do!

Here is the supplies I used to create this project:

Tim Holtz tissue paper
OTP Main Sept kit
Decoart Crackle glaze
Decoart Antiquing medium
Mod Podge
Royal Coat Decoupage Finish (any finish will work this is just the one that I used)

Ok let's get started!

First take some the tissue paper and tear it in pieces

Now using the Mod Podge attach to the candle stick. Be sure to capture a piece to be your focal point of your piece and adhere it to the front and work around that piece till you have the full piece covered.

Before starting the next step make sure your whole piece has had a top layer of Mod Podge. This helps the Decoart Crackle glaze give you nice cracks. You need a non porous surface for the glaze to go on top of. Now cover the whole piece with the crackle glaze. Don't over brush. This stuff self levels. Just start from top to bottom and give it a nice coat of it.

This glaze doesn't take long to crackle. Just set aside for a hour or so and then you're ready for the next step.

Now cover the whole piece with the Antiquing cream. Nice coat of it. Let it dry then wipe down with a baby wipe..

 

You can use a brush to wipe it down with, I just used a makeup sponge to do the job for me.

 

You may want to add a second coat jut for good measure.. Then wipe down again.

 

Now cover your piece with a finishing coat to seal in the antiquing cream. 

 

 

For the finishing touch I added some of the twine that came in the Small Art Big Passion kit. This adds a little finesse to the piece. Just place a dab of glue and wrap it around the top narrow spot and the bottom narrow spot.

 

 

Easy as pie with fantastic results..

I also used this same process to cover a tin that I had on hand. I just added a bit of color before I layed down my coat of Mod Podge..

Thank you for Joining me today!! :)

Candlestick Wreaths with Lainie Michel

Hello everyone - it's Lainie here and today I would like to share a very fun, quick and practical idea using the September Off the Page candlestick included in the Main Kit. I loved the versatility of this project and the simplicity, as well.

The concept is simple. Using the same candlestick that I painted white, I decided that I could change it up seasonally by adding a wreath to the bottom. This can really dress up a table as a lovely centerpiece. I started out by cutting out 5 inch circles and a 2.5 inch circle in the middle, creating a ring. If you don't have a circle cutter, a regular sized bowl can be used for a template and a cup traced in the center and then cut out.

 I used heavier cardstock paper that would coordinate with each seasonal wreath.

 The next step is to simply make one cut to open the ring.

 Then by slightly overlapping the edges and gluing them together, you make a shallow cone.

 This is what it looks like. The further you overlap, the steeper the cone. I wanted them to be relatively low sloped, so I only glued the sides about an inch in.

 Here is the fun part. Gather a bunch of items like flowers, leaves and trim. Work out your design beforehand, and then glue everything down.

 This is what my autumn wreath looked like after I put it all together and before the final touches.

 Lastly, on each wreath, I added a touch of paint and Ayeeda Gold Glitter Paint

 I love the pretty, personalized feel the wreath gives to the candlestick.

 

 

 For my Christmas wreath, I followed the same process and glued the items to the wreath frame.

 You can alter the look of the candlestick by switching out a ribbon to match the wreath.

 I used some Ayeeda Matte White Paint and Ayeeda Silver Glitter Paint on here, too.

 I created the last wreath that can be used for summer. This is also an easy idea to create for a wedding table centerpiece using the wedding colors.

 Such a fun and quick way to dress up a candlestick!

Thank you so much for joining us at Flying Unicorn!

Pan Pastels and Stencils

Hey everyone! Denise here to share a layout I did this past week.

I really wanted to do something different on the background. I knew which stencil I was going to use, but didn't want to use mists or paints. As I was going thru all my stash, I pulled out my Pan Pastels!

After I dried the molding paste from the stencil, I used one of the little sponges to add some color

I just kept adding and blending until I was happy. The great thing about Pastels is they do blend so nicely.

*tip-for smaller areas use the pointy sponge or a Q-tip*

I wasn't sure how it would turn out..but I kinda like it!

Next time you're wanting to try something different..give it go!

 

Supplies Used:

Craft and You Spring Garden

Pan Pastels

Prima Stencil

Manor House Flowers

Petaloo Flowers

Prima Resin Clock tower

September Build A Page with Denise

Hi everyone!

Today I will be sharing a BAP tutorial on a very easy to do layout using items from the new Your Passion Your Art kit. I wanted to do something easy for those that may be just beginning to scrapbook or using mixed media for the first time.

What I love about the Flying Unicorn kit and add ons is that they mesh so well together. This layout was created using bits and pieces of the Main Kit and Add on's and the  items from my stash are Gesso, a small piece of burlap, a couple of Prima leaves and some adhesive buttons for my flowers.

Before we start, let me apologize for some of the photos. Living in ND you never know what kind of weather you will get! lol! No sunshine makes for dimmer pictures.

For my layout I chose to use the Bo Bunny sheet "Prose" and the Prima Weaving stencil from the main kit.

 

I offset the stencil somewhat and covered the left side and a bit of the right side of the paper using 13 Arts Gesso.

Using a small paintbrush and the Shimmeringz from the Mixed Art and Shimmerz Mist from the main kit, I added some color to the page.

Next I painted the Creative Embellishments branches from the Small Art kit with some acrylic paint and spritzed with the Shimmerz Mist.

Now let's put our page together.

Adhere the branches to the page

Next, build the flower cluster at a slight curve being sure to overlap on the branches. Tuck in some leaves if you so choose. Add a small piece of fabric or burlap as shown and add smaller flower on the side.

Using some of the stickers from the Bo Bunny Juliet Combo Sticker sheet I placed them between the flowers

Last step is to paint one of the Creative Embellishments birds and adhere it to the top branch. I used white paint and a little chalk ink. I did a little stamping on the layout when I was finished to add a little something.

Hope you get inspired to create!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tags, Cards, and Small Projects

 

 

Flying Unicorns....Small Art Big Passion?  Absolutely

 

Jennifer Snyder here today to show off my favorite kit each month.  It's the Small Art Big Passion kit - a smaller version of the main kit.   Each month, the Flying Unicorns gives you something that no other kit club provides. 

 Alternatives.  

 

Let's be frank.  There are months when you know you won't be able to scrap or play with your pretty flowers and papers.  There are months when the colors of the kit are not speaking to your heart.  There are months when the household budget is extra tight ( maybe always).  There are months when you know you won't have any time to enjoy.

 

BUT you still WANT new products.   

 

Ok - that's where the Small Art Big Passion kit it always perfect.  It's a tiny affordable version of a kit, but scaled down in price. It comes with papers and perfectly coordinated embellishments for smaller projects, cards, tags, and such like that.  

 

This is a quick project I made.  The mini tags are a little example of what I made using the Small Art Big Passion kit for September. These are sweet tags for gifts.  The base of the tag is the darling Bo Bunny Chipboard that comes in the September Small Art Big Passion kit embellished with beautiful Petalooo flowers ( also in the kit).    There is not much to these tags and yet they are so delicate and elegant.

 

Scroll down and have a peek at each of my tags.  

 

  I added a small piece of cardstock to the back of my tags to turn them into gift cards.  Tie them to a gift bag, present or bottle of your favorite beverage.  You can add your personal sentiment to the tag.  Perfect and super quick.  

 

There is really not a lot to each of the tags and yet they each are lovely.  

 

 

Easy enough, right?  Grab your Small Art Big Passion kit here. 

 

Never Miss a Kit Again!

Of course there are never any subscriptions and obligations at Flying Unicorns.  Sadly, this does mean they sell out fast.  Who wants to be strapped with monthly kit obligations only to find the kit doesn't suit them on a particular month?  Flying Unicorns will never do that to you.  

 

If you are not fortunate enough to have grabbed the kit. then consider pre-ordering.  Pre-orders are available starting the 20th of each month.  Flying Unicorns provides a sneak peek at the upcoming offerings and you decide what you want.  They even get shipped right out to you.  

Find all the details here.

Moonlit Box Frame

Hi! It's Erica and today I'm sharing an altered box frame I created using the Moonlit Collection by Authentique Paper.

I started with three inexpensive, plastic 4"x6" box frames; using double-sided tape and beacon glue I adhered all three box frames together.

While my glue was drying I cut two 4"x6" rectangles from pattern paper and one 4"x6" rectangle from black cardstock. 

Next, I cut apart the Moonlit Collection Enhancements.

Using foam adhesive I adhered my an Enhancement - giving it some dimension. I also added a sticker from the Moonlit Collection Details.

I repeated these steps creating another panel for the right frame. I'm saving the center panel and will add a cute Halloween photo in a few weeks!

Finally, I added flowers, leaves, ribbon and few more stickers to finish my box frames.

CSI Case File No. 175 - Guest Detectives

 

Hi everyone! This month The Flying Unicorn creative team are guests at CSI, and I am thrilled to share the 1st reveal for the month.

Build a Page with Shona and the September Kit of the Month.

 

Hi everyone! Shona here today with a quick Build a Page from the Flying Unicorn September Your Passion Your Art kits.

 

First thing I did was add some strips of torn paper on the top left and bottom right corner. After you apply those use an old credit card and swipe some gesso over the strips. The Gesso will add a nice base so that paints do not soak into the papers and the strips are just for added texture in the background. Grab the new mask in the kit and use some molding paste to add more texture. I added some of the Shimmerz Coloringz in the kit while it was still wet. Use your heat tool to set now.

 

 

Next I did some stamping all around the outside of the layout and in random areas on the page.

 

 

I used pieces from the Bo Bunny Noteworthy package to mat my photo. I also added some cardboard behind the photo to make it pop up on the layout some. Once you apply the photo add in more pieces from the Noteworthy package and from the sticker sheet in the kit.

 

 

 

Here you can see all the pieces I have added now. I tucked in a few of the Creative Embellishments chippys and flowers from the kits.

 

Add some Gesso touches to blend it all together.

 

My last touches were to add some drops of the Shimmerz Paint in the kit and drops of Shimmerz Inklingz.

 

Here is the finished layout….have a great day all and happy crafting!
