Scrapy Land Challenge #93

Hello friends!

Welcome to Scrapy Land {Challenge #93}!  I had a lot of fun creating this bold card!  The flower was cut using the Memory Box Plush Narrow Succulent Dies. I used the dies to cut the Rinea Foiled Paper to create this card. For the sentiment, I used SparkleNSprinkle Dimensional Glue to handwrite onto a piece of acetate. I sprinkled on Rose Gold Glitter and let it dry overnight!  I basically created my own sentiment :) It's a very fun technique!

A little about the Scrapy Land Challenge......

The theme is always ANYTHING GOES using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.  In addition, we have TWO WINNERS for each challenge.  One will be a random winner and the other is chosen by the Design Team.  Each winner will receive a generous $10 gift certificate to Scrapy Land.  Did you know Scrapy Land carries over 55 brands of dies? Chances are you have a few of the brands in your stash!  

Please link back to this Scrapy Land Challenge and include the link to this challenge on your blog post.  It would also be extremely helpful if you would list the brands of dies used in your project.  (Sometimes we can't tell if an item is a die cut or chipboard.)

I can't wait to see what you create for this challenge.

Good luck!

Papercraft Business Challenge - July 2018

Welcome to our July 2018 Papercraft Business Challenge!

Our theme is Anything Goes!  So, I went with Christmas In July!!

Here is what I created:

I actually pulled out an old Simon Says Stamp Card Kit and played with it's contents to create this card. I love tucking things away and then finding things to play with later.   You can't see it in this picture but there is actually texture on both the background papers. I'm so happy I tucked it away to play with later. 

I’m entering this card in the following challenges:

I truly hope you will join in on this special challenge!

Summer Party Decorations with Rinea Foiled Paper

Happy Canada Day crafty friends!

I hope you are enjoying the day - whatever great country you live in!  Here in Canada we celebrate July 1 as our National Birthday! We may not be as patriotic as our neighbors to the south, but we are very proud of our Red & White Maple Leaf! :D

I have a super fun new Rinea project to share with you today!  While it is red, silver and blue - it can be used to celebrate any of your patriotic events!  I'm calling this a whimsical banner - or centerpiece!  It's truly up to you - a creative choice!

I used the Patriotic Foiled Paper Variety Pack  to create this fun summer party decor!  You could make a whole bunch of them and string them together for an banner or use them individually on tables!  Best part is - they reuse a common household item - toilet paper rolls!  Foiled Paper is just AWESOME to create fun party decor with. 

Let's get crafting!

You will need:

- Patriotic Foiled Paper Variety Pack - I used the Artist's Pack

- toilet paper rolls

- double sided tape

- pencil or pen

- paper trimmer

- Fishing line or twine (optional)

- paper piercer (optional)

You are going to love how fast and easy this project comes together!  Start by cutting your 4x6 in half lengthwise.  Next you are going to cut 3/4 of the way through the piece, about 1/2" apart all along the length of the foiled paper. You don't want to cut all the way through - you are making a fringe!  You are also going to cut your toilet paper roll in half.

  

 Apply a strip of double sided tape along the solid part where you didn't cut. Then you are going to simply wrap each piece of foil around the toilet paper tube in layers. I lightly curled my ends up using a pen.  To make the curly top, I just revered the steps and adhered the foiled paper inside the top of the toilet paper roll, alternating the directions that I curled the foil. I chose to use the Glossy Silver/Gold Foiled Paper that is included in the variety pack for this step.

  

I felt I needed a band of some sort to finish it off - so I added a 1/2" strip of Starstruck Ruby Red Foiled Paper. I also punched a small hole using my paper piercer and tied some fishing line through it to hang.

  

There you have it!  The next shot shows the "hanging" version. If you wanted to string them on one long line, that would work fabulously too!  I chose to do individual ones. Would the be fantastic if you made some large ones with paper towel rolls too?  So many endless options!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial using Rinea Foiled Paper I hope you will go out and create something fun with it!  You are going to love how it holds it's shape :)  See you next time!
