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!

 
Thanks for stopping by today!

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!
