Lovely Little Flip Book

Hi there! Today I'm bringing you a lovely little tag flip book using beautiful Dew Drops from The Robin's Nest Creative! I purchased this printable file from an online store, but you could certainly make this from any double-sided patterned paper and tag dies or templates, or just cut shapes by hand and punch a hole in the top! I used this one because of the multi layered butterfly and flower. It's a great project to use whatever you've got!

 I chose the Pink Dew Drops because they matched the colors in the paper. I inked the edges of each layer of the flower, then slightly curled each petal with an embossing tool. You can use a skewer or end of a paint brush, or anything you have on hand!

 

 

I added a Dew Drop using the dew dew glue dots!

 

I inked the edges of the butterfly layers and layered them. Here I chose the xxx Dew Drops.

 

 

I used the Dew Drops to form the body of the butterfly. I used layers of tags, etc, and inked the edges to give it dimension.

 

 

The inked flower layers with the Dew Drop center is soooo cute!

 

 

And that layered butterfly!

Here's the front of the completed tag book! I thought about using a large key ring, but decided to use some Sari Silk ribbon to give added texture.

And here's the back of the tag book!

Embossed Key Chain

 Hi! Debb here, with my first post for The Robin's Nest Creative! Today I made for you an awesome key chain using a few supplies and the amazing Dew Drops by The Robin’s Nest.

I started with a package of wooden key tags and used a 3D Leather-look embossing folder. I also had some foundry wax on hand to give the “leather” some color and shine.

I embossed plain gray paper to use on the keychain.

I applied a thin layer of glue and put the embossed paper on it. I then gently trimmed the paper off around the wooden shape. I used a hole punch tool to punch out the hole at the top of the tag. I then repeated the process for the other side.

I lightly applied a coat of Foundry Wax to bring out the texture of the leather embossing.

Now the fun part… deciding which Dew Drops to use! I chose the Dark Vanilla Dew Drops.

Using the dew dew glue, I applied one dot at each intersection, then applied the dew drops.

And here’s the finished “leather” look key chain! What a fun project, and so easy with just a few supplies and Dew Drops! Thanks for joining me today!

 

It's Been a While!

It's been a while since my last blog post! I have been out of the blogging world for a few years now, but I've never stopped creating. I have been learning stained glass and a mosaic wood art process called intarsia. I've also started putting wood and glass together for a mixed media type of art! I'm kinda crazy about trying some driftwood projects, too!

I've also been making lots and lots of cards, and I'm still doing 3D projects that I cut out with my electronic cutter. 

 

But I had a special wedding to attend today. The youngest son of some very dear friends got married today, and just like his two brothers before him, he and his beautiful bride received a personalized gift. 

I used a monogram file from Design Bundles and added the bride and groom's names in vinyl, then added some beautiful Dew Drops from The Robin's Nest for that extra bit of elegance.

 

It's great to be back, and in my next post I'll share some exciting news! Happy crafting, friends, and thanks for stopping by today!

Baby, It's Cold Outside

 It's not in the 90s this week, but at least we don't have sub-zero weather like we did a few years ago! Our exchange student, Eren, had never (and probably never will again!) experienced such cold weather! We had her throw the boiling water to make "snow", and she tried blowing bubbles, too! We couldn't stay outside for very long, though! 

I made this layout using the Baby It's Cold Outside Card  from My Scrap Chick.

Aloha

I'm so far behind on getting my scrapbooking done. Here's a beautiful sunrise from our

 Hawaii trip! I have used the Aloha Card and the Hawaiian Shirt Card  from My Scrap Chick 

 to finish this 12 x 12 page for my scrapbook! Both of the files were reduced

 to use on this page.

Thanks for stopping by today! Social distance hugs to you!

Journey

 I am not one to get rid of stamps and paper that has been discontinued, no matter the manufacturer. I know some crafters who keep current on all their supplies and anything discontinued gets thrown out. Not me! With that said, this great stamp set from Heartfelt Creations is discontinued, but it made a great guy card! 

 

 

This was colored with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, and cut out with the matching die set. I've been away from the challenge scene for awhile. This is my first time back! I have entered this in the following challenges:
