"Lovely" Valentine Treats from GlueArts!

We're back and back with more Valentine Treats that use our GlueArts U Cut It Foam!

We'd love to hear from those of you who have used our foam and what you have liked about it? Perhaps the dimension? The bonus of zero waste as every scrap can be used? Or that you can run it through your diecut machine??

Please do share as we would very much like to hear from you!

Today Designers Lesley Langdon and Kristen Swain show how GlueArts U Cut It Foam can make the foundation of a house. (yes a house!!) and an incredible flower!!!

1. Use Cricut Machine and Winter Wonderland cartridge to cut house 3 and house insert from patterned paper.
2. Cut UCutIt foam to slightly smaller for each wall of house insert.
3. Use Perma tac to adhere house, leaving the U Cut It smaller allows the UCutIt to butt against each other forming a solid wall.

Love You Layout
GlueArts Designer: Jaime Warren

I just love Valentine's Day - the pinks, the reds, the hearts. Most of all I love that it's a celebration of love. My layout isn't necessarily just for Valentine's - I try to tell my family I love them all of the time, in a variety of ways. This layout is all about my "baby" girl Hailey (who will be 12 in a few months!!)

Supplies:
GlueArts U Cut It Foam
Glue Glider Pro
PermaTac Minis

To start, I layered my two background patterned paper sheets and attached using my Glue Glider Pro. 
I cut a doily in half and attached it to the top center of my layout and then, layered the other half under it, to the right side. I used my sewing machine to stitch a simple line through the top doilie. Then I added my photo and hand cut flower by tucking it into and under the doilies. I punched out a tab using my favorite tab punch and attached it using U Cut It Foam (the best foam adhesive around folks!!!)


Then I continued the layering at the bottom center of the layout - mimicking the top design. I used more U Cut It Foam to pop the hand cut flowers for extra dimension. Then I added my title to the center of the layout and stitched a single line over the alphabet stickers.


To finish the layout I added some "confetti" and my journaling to the layout. To attach both the confetti and journaling I used my Perma Tac Minis.

We're all getting back into the swing and also going through our photos to compile a video for you to enjoy! To kick off this week we have some amazing prizes from our GlueArts partners! 


Up first for today...a trio of new magazines from our good friends at Northridge Publishing! They've given us their new Scrapbook Trends, Mini Albums and Stamping books!

Plus we're going to include our GlueArts U Cut It Foam so you can make these beautiful projects as shown today!

Simply post a comment and we'll enter you to win! We'll select one random winner!!

We also need to announce our winner from our second Studio Calico week. The winner of the beautiful Studio Calico Field Day kit is...

The Spirit of Christmas

I've been fiddling with my 'bitz' - that would be Twiddleybitz  in case you were getting the wrong impression LOL!!  

This is where my Twiddley fiddling has taken me

'The Spirit of Christmas'


I have combined some wonderful Twiddleybitz elements with some gorgeous Prima embellishments. A  touch of  Prima Pixie Glen paper from the 6 x 6 Paper Stack along with some of The ScrapCake 'The Bright Side of Life'  and 'Spring Awakening' patterned papers designed by Karola Witczak..


Totally **heart** the Twiddleybitz Vintage Overlay.

  To give it a shabby appeal, it was given a treatment of texture paste. The paste was applied with a palette knife and I was not overly fussed with creating a smooth finish. Some areas were also stippled to add some texture.

The Vintage Overlay was attached 'The Bright Side of Life 'Dear Diary' paper.



A Twiddleybitz Round Doily Journal Plaque was layered under the photo with hand cut and die cut doily paper elements .

The star peeking out from under the bottom right hand corner of the photo has been removed from the Twiddleybitz Christmas Flourish & Stars.  The star was painted white and then embossed with clear sparkle embossing powder.  A light touch of Tattered Angels Patina Glimmer Mist was then applied over the top.


The foundation of the corner corsage was created with Twiddleybitz Holly Leaves.  A distressed crackle effect has been created with Tim Holtz Picket Fence Distress Paint.  Areas on the leaves and stems were highlighted with Tim Holtz Broken China Distress Stain.

Prima Splendor Leaves, Cradle and blooms were added along with diecut leave stems and punched pine  branches.


And how adorable is the resin Prima Deer??  Oh my goodness, he is as sweet as can be.
Another little cluster of Twiddleybitz Holly and Prima Splendor Leaves, Prima blooms and a sprinkling of resin flowers finish it off.
