Satin Roses I Made

This is a handmade rose I made using costume satin.  I assembled this rose using individual petals.

This one is a rolled satin rose.  Watch my you tube videos to learn how to make them!

Vintage Tag

 This is a 4x8" vintage tag I made for a swap with Suziecrafter10 on You Tube.  She also has a blog.  This tag was made with 4 layers of Recollections Craft Cardstock, glued together with a wet glue.  The patterned paper is from K & Company, as are the acetate butterflies.  All of the flowers I made and colored, except for the tiniest flowers, which are Prima.  The laces and seam binding I colored using Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads. A link to my You Tube video on this tag is located at the bottom of this post.

Paper Bag Flip Album

Hi everyone!  Hope you all had a great Tuesday!  Thanks for stopping by for a visit!  This year, (and I don't normally make New Year's Resolutions), I am hoping to keep up with my blog more regularly.  When I first started a couple of years ago, I was doing pretty well.  LOL!  But of course you all know how life takes over!  Unfortunately, I let it really take over!  LOL!  Anyway, I have a mini to share that I made several months ago for a dear friend who lost her father.  I used a tutorial from Laura @ Follow the Paper Trail on her paper bag flip album.  

This was a super fun mini to make.  It came out rather thick as you can see!  lol.  It is made with a chipboard cover and spine and the closure is Grunge Paper from Tim Holtz.  It is held in place by a small disk magnet from Basic Grey.  

The spine is covered with brown canvas from Joann Fabrics. All of the fibers and ribbon are tied onto 2 D-rings from Tim Holtz.  The charms are assembled on a Swivel Clasp, also from Tim Holtz.  

This is the first page.  I have yellow sticky notes on the photos to protect identities.  The reason this album is called a flip album is because you flip the direction of the opening of the bag from page to page.  So the opening on the first page is to the right.  The second page the opening flips to the left, and so on.  

I have handmade most of the flowers in this book, except for the really small ones.  In most cases, the flowers are punched from paper first and then distressed and layered together. 

The phrases in the frames are ones that I printed from my computer.  The dangling charm is a Tim Holtz Fragment with paper adhered to the back.  

I used ribbon and silver washers from the hardware store.  I distressed the washers with Tim Holtz alcohol inks to get the desired color.  They came out a bronze-y, aged finish.  

The side pockets are made from Tim Holtz on the edge dies.  The pearls on the edge of the lace are individual pearls that I hot glued on.  The tags are made with my Cricut.

The initials are from Making Memories.  I printed Twinkle Toes on one of the tags because they loved to dance.

A rolled rose that I made and some Prima Bling!

Like I said, this was a super fun album to make!  It wasn't super fast, but it was fun.  I enjoyed every minute I spent making this very special album.  Video to this album.

Thanks again for stopping by and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!  

Hugs,

Rachel
