Anna's Craft Cupboard Creations

Hello!!

Two new Kaisercraft collections - Miss Nellie and Hunt & Gather are now both available in store at ANNA'S CRAFT CUPBORD.

I've had a little play with both of them.

First up a layout share with Miss Nellie

'Loves Me Loves Me Not'

My gorgeous littlest girl loves to sit awhile and 'pluck' the petals from my roses - I can remember doing something very similar myself at her age LOL!!

'Miss Nellie' is just delightful. The colours are totally adorable and the floral elements are just divine.

I have layered lots of hand cut elements from the specialty patterned paper with the die cut, other patterned papers and printed chipboard elements.

Miss Nellie available at Anna's Craft Cupboard HERE

Next a layout share created with the Hunt & Gather Collection

'Enjoy the little things'

This 'outdoor' photo of Miss E was well suited to natural, rustic toning of this collection.

I added some terracotta warmth from the collection as a contrast to lift the somewhat sombre darker toning of the background paper.

The larger flower element has been created with paper from the 6.5" Paper Pad and a Sizzix Bigz Die -Tattered Florals by Tim Holtz - Anna has this also available in store HERE.

A 12" sticker from the sticker sheet creates a lovely decorative edge and the birdie is also from the same sheet. The winged elements have been cut from the specialty paper.

Instructions:

Make gift giving even more special with a personalized gift box like this one I created using the gorgeous Nantucket collection by Pink Paislee.  

1)To create this altered gift box I began by cutting the Clam Chowder patterned paper from the Nantucket collection to size and adhering it to the base of my gift box using Glue Arts Glue Glider High Tac Adhesive.  This adhesive is strong enough to hold the papers to my gift box perfectly with no concerns of it coming loose or warping.  

2)Next I cut a piece of the Clam Bake patterned paper from the Nantucket 6x6 Petite Paper Pack and adhered it to the top of my gift box lid.  I trimmed strips from the Crab Cakes patterned paper (this time using the B side) along with a punched border from brown cardstock and adhered this to the edges of my lid again using Glue Arts Glue Glider High Tac Adhesive.  

3)I created a tag using using the Lobster Bisque patterned paper and a Bigz Die from Stampin' Up!  To the front of the tag I adhered a few Chipboard Tiles along with a starfish Wood Shape I had spritzed with Glimmer Mist.  

4)I used the Glue Arts U Cut It Foam Adhesive to adhere the starfish to the tag and give it some extra dimension.  To the front of the starfish I adhered a button using Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares and topped with a few Bling Stickers.  

5)I added a gold Mini Tassel to my tag, tied everything up with the yellow and creme striped ribbon, and tucked one of the Nantucket Trading Cards underneath.

Please Welcome GlueArts Guest Designer Lynn Ghahary!!

We're so pleased to not only bring you a second week of Pink Paislee...we're also pleased to welcome to the GlueArts blog a new Guest Designer...

Lynn Ghahary!

Welcome Lynn!! We're tickled to have you join us this week! Here's a bit about Lynn....


My name is Lynn Ghahary and I live in New Jersey with my husband and high school sweetheart Salar and our two wild and crazy boys, Darian and Brandon.  I was first introduced to the wonderful world of scrapbooking way back in 2000.  As a young girl I had always loved to be artsy and creative so this hobby was right up my alley and I was hooked immediately!

I took a break from scrapbooking in 2004 when my first son was born and didn't really come back to the hobby until 2008.  Now that I'm back I am here to stay and have been completely in awe at how far this amazing craft has come since we first "met" over 10 years ago.  Scrapbooking is my creative outlet - it lets me get in touch with who I am all while preserving our most cherished family photos and memories. 

Not only do I love to scrapbook but I love to create paper crafts of all kinds including cards, mini albums, and altered projects.  I am lucky enough to have had my work published in several magazines including Creating Keepsakes, CARDS, Paper Crafts, Scrapbooks ETC, Scrapbook Trends, and Scrapbook & Cards Today.  I am a design team member of the Garden Girl team at Two Peas In A Bucket, as well as the Design Team Coordinator for Pebbles Inc., and creative team member for Pink Paislee.

In addition to scrapbooking I am also an avid gardener, bookworm, and wannabe photographer.  I am also a self-professed reality TV show junkie and organizing diva.

Supplies:

Ribbon Adhesive

Pink Paislee Soiree Collection

*Be sure to stop in tomorrow for a new step by step project from Lynn using the Brand New Pink Paislee Nantucket line!!! 

På tur (Hiking/going for a walk in Norwegian)

GlueArts Designer: Ania Lexander

Glue Art Supplies:
Glue Glider Pro - PermaTac
Raisen's 

U Cut It Foam
Extreme Adhesive Squares
Ribbon Adhesive

other:
Pink Paislee Hometown Summer collection
Ephipany Crafts - round 25
Fiskars Border punches - notebook and postage stamp


I squealed with delight when I saw I got this collection - my absolute favorite from Pink Paislee's CHA-W collections! My niece is coming over in two weeks - what's better than to finish the photos from her visit last year? Only a few more, and I'm ready to scrap the new ones to come! 


The watermelon-paper was perfect for the Ephipany Crafts tool to create epoxy-stickers of them.



Just use the Extreme Adhesive Squares for these...



I used the PermaTac to adhere most of the papers.



For the small paper-strip however, I figured the Ribbon Adhesive would work swell - and it did 



I wanted the pictures to stand slightly out from the page - and did so with the raisen's.



For the title however, the thickness of UCutIt foam would do.

We're celebrating week two of our partnership with Pink Paislee and invite you to post a comment today for a chance to win elements from their Soiree collection! We'll tuck in ourGlue Glider Pro,

Hooray for Summer with GlueArts & Pink Paislee

Happy Monday!

It's the last week of July...where has the summer gone?

Our summer has been filled with days at the pool, many stops by the fruit stand for watermelon and lots of summer fruits and veggies.

We've also been hitting all the local snow cone stands (one in particular we absolutely love!mmmm) It's definitely a fun hometown summer for us!

Pink Paislee has the perfect collection for you too to share and capture all those special summer memories! Hometown Summer is filled with fun summer prints, cute kids, watermelon and more! Add in our GlueArts adhesives...you've got a perfect summer combination!

Origami Paper Box with Notecards

GlueArts Designer: Patti Milazzo

Supplies: 
Glue Arts:
Glue Glider Pro with 1/4 Perma Tac Cartridge Refill - Pro
Mini Adhesive Squares Adhesive Squares
U-Cut-It Adhesive Foam

Pink Paislee:
Hometown Summer Pattern Papers – Green Acres, Heat Wave, Sunnyside Lane, Fruit Stand, Summer Fun and Neighborhood Pool
Hometown Summer Stamps

Other:
Fiskars: 3-in-1 Corner Squeeze Punch (Dot to Dot); Twinkle, Twinkle and Mint Condition Squeeze Punches; Scallop Paper Edgers



Instructions:


1. Create a paper box and lid from Pink Paislee’s Hometown Summer pattern papers using Origami Box instructions that you can find on the web or any paper box template you prefer. I used a 12” square piece of pattern paper for the top and an 11 ¾” square piece of pattern paper for the bottom. Use the Glue Glider Pro with Perma Tac Adhesive and Adhesive Squares (regular and Mini) to secure the folds in place.





2. Cut a square to fit the top of the lid. Use a decorative punch on the corners and adhere it to the top of the box lid. Also cut a strip that will wrap around the lid and 2 circles from pattern paper. Distress the circles as I did, if you like.



3. Use the Glue Glider Pro with Perma Tac to apply adhesive to the back of the paper strip. Wrap this around the top of the box, tucking the ends under and inside the lid. Trim any excess. Then adhere the circles to the top center of the box, again with Perma Tac.
4. On kraft cardstock, use the watermelon stamp and Versamark ink to stamp a pattern. Cut a circle from the stamped cardstock and stamp “hooray!!” as shown and distress the edges.



5. Next, stamp the “note” tab and “summer” banner on pattern paper and cut out with scissors or a craft knife.
6. Adhere the stamped kraft circle to the center of the lid with U-Cut-It Adhesive Foam. Then tuck the “note” and “summer” cut stamped images under the distressed circles.



7. Use a 1” circle punch or scissors to cut out the watermelon images on the pattern paper. Adhere them to the kraft circle with Perma Tac and Adhesive Foam. Cut some of the images in half for variety.



Tip: Double up the Adhesive Foam for extra dimension.

8. With the box complete, create 4” notecards from kraft cardstock. Using the Hometown Summer Stamp Set, stamp the front each card with Versamark ink to create a subtle background. You can keep the cards simple in this way or embellish them further with a simple design like the card shown here with the sun accent made from star punches.

Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by last week and left us a comment about the projects! We feel truly blessed to have such a talented team of Glue Girls to share projects with you every week!

Our winner for last week's Pink Paislee Hometown Summer collection, along with a Glue Glider Pro, Refill of YOUR choice and our 3D Combo Pack is:
