| This is another 3D project using a Sizzix die. It looks so sweet after adding lollies/candy into it. Youtube tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwTH04CPbFs
Items used:
Wheelbarrow die by Sizzix
Strong glue
La Carta Weave in Crimson 12x12" cardstock
Sam & Lucy's self adhesive glitter foam in red and green
Cardboard (from an old cardboard box)
Ink
|
 |
| Die cut 2 sets of the wheelbarrow shape out of cardboard. Then die cut another 2 sets out of cardstock making sure you flip one of them around so the front of the cardstock will be facing out once you put it together (this is especially important for cardstock like the La Carta Weave or Bubble that have texture on the front). You will also need a piece of cardboard 2 3/4" wide x 6 5/8" long and a piece of cardstock 2 3/4" wide and 12" long to cover most of the centre piece of the wheelbarrow. There will be a small gap so a small piece that is 2 3/4" wide and approx 2" should be able to cover the gap if you need it. |
 |
| Adhere the centre piece of cardboard with the La Carta cardstock. Thenadhere the rest of the cardstock pieces onto the matching cardboard pieces. |
 |
| The pieces should now look like this. |
 |
| Adhere the centre piece of the wheelbarrow to the back of one of the wheelbarrow shapes. |
 |
| Adhere the other wheelbarrow panel together |
 |
| I added some black ink to the pieces before adhering them to the wheelbarrow. I also inked the edges of the wheelbarrow to create shadow effects. I cut stars out of Sam & Lucy's self adhesive glittered foam sheets and adhered them to the sides of the wheelbarrow.This wheelbarrow is great for adding candy or lollies inside or can hold some items you want to store. |
 |
| This wheelbarrow I created is for decorative purposes. I filled it with foam and covered the foam with cardstock and added flowers on toothpicks into it. I also glued a lace ribbon around it. I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and inspired you to make one yourself! Take care :) |

| Baby shoe project I created using a 12x12 Bubble cardstock by La Carta and lace trim. The website for the free template is: http://www.paperscrapz.screentastic.ca/templates.html The video tutorial for this project is on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W3dl1BNQfw&feature=plcp |
 |
| Trace out the components onto the back of the cardstock. Trace an extra set of soles as inside liners of the baby shoe. |
 |
| I didn't cut out the tabs around the shoe. I just left them solid and then snipped the edge where the tabs should be so the shoe could have a complete seal around it. |
 |
| Then I glued the ends together before assembling the top part of the shoe to the bottom of the shoe. |
 |
| Once the glue is pretty dry, I trimmed the shoe liner slightly and then glued to the insole part of the shoe. |
 |
| I added a lace trim to the entire edge of the shoe to finish it off. |
 |
| Punch a 1/16 hole for the brad and then insert the brad to buckle up the shoe. |
 |
| Finished of the baby shoe with lace bows to the front of the baby shoes |
 | |
| More examples of baby shoes I have made using different papers. I hope you get to try these out! |

| Using the same concept as the birdhouse tutorial to put these together. These are Sizzix dies which I've had for a while now and have found a fun way to use them! Try it out yourself :) Also on my Youtube channel: http://youtu.be/WigXidLcUX8 |
 |
| A fun project using the Sizzix Birdhouse die. It is die cut out of a cardboard box I had handy. The video tutorial is on my Youtube channel by clicking Youtube on the side link or the URL is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-mCIiXNw7U&list=PLl2St-0g6gLW_CXZymYrfL4ZxI9QVCXrg&feature=plcp |
 |
| Die cut 2 of the birdhouse shapes from cardboard and a rectangle piece that is 6" x 1 3/4" |
 |
| Shape the rectangle to create walls and floor of the birdhouse. Glue down to the back one birdhouse shape til set. |
 |
| Glue down the other birdhouse shape. |
 | ||
| Paint the birdhouse frame and set it to dry or use a heat tool to dry the paint quickly.
Cut out 4 rectangle and fold in half:
Largest size is 7 7/8" long x 2 5/16" wide Next layer is 6 1/8" long x 2 5/16" wide 3rd layer is 4 1/8" long x 2 5/16" wide Last layer is 1 7/8" long x 2 5/16" wide |
 |
| Punch a decorative border at the ends of the roof shapes and ink the edges with Antique Linen distress ink. |
 |
| Adhere lace between each layer edge |
 |
| Adhere the largest roof layer first and then stagger the rest of the roof shapes finishing with the smallest on the top. |
 |
| Embellish as desired with pearl flourish, flowers, bird from the Tim Holtz birdcage die and adhere a loop of lace/ribbon at the top for hanging ornaments |
 |
| This bird house was created the same way but instead of painting it, I covered the birdhouse with La Carta weave paper. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pGKHrZ_ij0&feature=channel&list=UL Items used: Time Holtz Tattered Leaves Die 6"x12" La Carta Bubble card stock in white La Carta 120gsm Metallic paper in Rubine & Forest Green Printed sentiment onto plain white cardstock Hot Glue or Quick Drying glue Double sided foam tape Regular double sided tape |
 |
| Die cut 10 red rose leaves from the Tattered leaves dies set and 3 green rose leaves. Adhere together 5 red leaves first |
 |
| Pinch the ends to create dimension to the flower. |
 |
| Adhere the next 5 petals on top (remember to offset the petals to create a fuller effect). Pinch the ends of this layer as you did with the first layer. |
 |
| Adhere the green leaves to the back of the flower making sure you can see them from the front. |
 |
| Fold a piece of 6"x12" cardstock in half to create the base of the card. Adhere poinsettia with foam double sided tape to the front and slightly to the top to make room for the sentiment. |
 |
| Print a sentiment onto plain cardstock and snip fishtail ends to each side of the sentiment. |
 |
| Adhere the sentiment to piece green metallic paper to create a lovely border around the sentiment. Cut fishtail ends using the sentiment as a guide. |
 | |
| Roll or use a tool to create a hill or arch in the sentiment. Also bend up the fish tail ends to create dimension to the sentiment. Adhere the sentiment to trying to keep the dimensional effect you've just created. Have fun! |

| I created this mini for my sister using the DCWV All Dressed Up cardstock stack and cre8tiv mini stacks. |
 |
| Die cut wings were created to make a pocket for tags. |
 |
| A very simple page with a frame for a photo and journaling. |
 |
| This opens up for photos and journaling |
 |
| Pocket full of tags. |
 |
| A double page spread with corners made from ribbon and pockets behind for tags. |
 |
| I made this gorgeous expandable folder by copying an expandable folder I have. Inside holds heaps of pockets and tags that look like files. |
 |
| I crackle accented this chipboard photo frame in black soot shape and also holds tags behind it. |
 |
| The dress form holds a tag that is tucked behind it. The tag slides out and flips open pages for photos and journaling. |
 |
| A photo frame and a tag behind it.. These are handmade flowers from ribbon. |
 |
| Another simple page with a photo frame for a large photo and journal below it. |
 |
| I love these petal envelopes as you can tell I use them all the time in my minis. Great was to display photos and journaling. |
 |
| This page was inspired by Sex In The City. My sister and I used to watch it all the time. The tags pull out for photos and journaling. |
