Altered Globe with Rinea Foiled Paper

Hello friends!





I have a really fun project to share with you today featuring Rinea Foiled Paper! 

I've had this idea in my head since seeing some papercraft version floating around on Pinterest, so I really wanted to create my own!  It turned out perfectly - just as I had envisioned it!  So grab a cheap dollar store globe, your Rinea Foiled Papers and let's get crafty!


I used the following supplies:

- Small Plastic Globe (I picked mine up at our local dollar store)
- 1.25" Circle Punch
- Adhesive of choice
- Ribbon/trims
- Small faux Crow
- Hot Glue Gun

First you are going to pop the globe part off it's stand (mine came off super easily!). Next, you are going to punch a ton of small circles of each of the four colors -  Merlot/Merlot Starstruck Foiled PaperMerlot/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper, Ebony/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper and Ebony/Ebony Starstruck Foiled Paper. I forgot to count how many I used! You are going to add a row of adhesive around the top of the globe and start adding your circles. I overlapped them slightly and continued down the globe, switching the colors as a I went. I did add a row of adhesive every time so the whole globe wasn't sticky at the same time.



  

Once the globe was completely covered in my Foiled Paper Circles, I set it back into it's base and started decorating. I used hot glue to add a small crow figurine  (again, a dollar store find!), some black and white ribbons & trims (from my stash!) and of course some rhinestones!






I had a few extra circles punched, so I just created some random flower shapes and glued them on.






There you have it!  A fabulous Halloween Home Decor piece to display. Thanks for stopping by today.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #383

Hello friends!



This week I’m once agin playing with the Timber paper from Close to My Heart!  Here is a quick visual of the pack:


For this card I actually used contents from the Timber Picture My Life cards - they can be used in so many ways! I popped out a few star die cuts from matching Timber Die Cuts and popped them up with foam squares.

The sentiment came from the Aurora Cardmaking Set.

DIY Giant Dice Games with Rinea

Hello crafty friends!



Today I have for you another red, white & blue patriotic project using Rinea Foiled Paper - a Dice Game with TWO OPTIONS to play!

OPTION 1 - Adults Only Drinking Game
OPTION 2 - Exercise HIIT Workout

Now - I will start with a disclaimer to please drink responsibly and most importantly, NEVER drink and drive.  

Not into drinking games? Use it to do a HIIT Workout!

Keep on reading to see how it will work.

I used the Ruby Starstruck Foiled Paper, the BRAND NEW Cobalt/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper and the Arctic Starstruck Foiled Paper for this project. You will also need a 3" cube (I had one in my stash, but you would use a small gift box or something similar) and glue.

Step 1 - cut your foiled paper!
I simply cut 3"x 3" squares of each of the three colors.

  

Step 2 - adhere to your cube!
I used some Tombow Adhesive to glue my Rinea papers to the cube sides. Make sure to glue as close the edge as possible so it doesn't start peeling.

   

Step 3 - add your numbers!
I used a 1" Circle punch to cut dots from my scrap foiled paper to make the numbers. The appropriate number of dots were added to each side of the giant dice to add the number 1 through 6.

 


Step 4 - play your game!
Ok!  Now you are ready to play. So here are the rules: for the DRINKING GAME:

Roll a 1 - YOU take a drink
Roll a 2 - the person to your RIGHT will take a drink
Roll a 3 - you GIVE a drink to a person of your choice
Roll a 4 - the person to your LEFT will take a drink
Roll a 5 - EVERYONE drinks
Roll a 6 - YOU drink twice

Not into drinking? Here is an EXERCISE alternative! 
Do each exercise for 1 minute, then roll again!  Do that 30 times and you have a 30 minute workout!

Roll a 1 - run in place
Roll a 2 - push-ups
Roll a 3 - jumping jacks
Roll a 4 - squats
Roll a 5 - crunches
Roll a 6 - burpees

I hope you have fun with whatever option you choose!

Remember, you can save 10% on your Rinea order when you shop HERE. Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you are inspired to use your Rinea Foiled Paper to create something fun.

See you again soon!
