DT: Love Browny - Minialbum




Hi, 

This is Veronica from vicky's scrapping passion, sharing with you my next post for Craftwell. 

I have been accumulating the Graphic 45 monthly kits since their beginning, thus, I finally decided to reminiscence on my paw-baby in doggie heaven and used the 2021 Vol. 9 Well Groomed kit.
I changed some of the suggested papers from the kit with background papers from the complementary Graphic 45 paper pad.

In short:

First, I created several shaker elements as embellishments using the Dog's Life kit.
I tried to recreated my boy as best as I could using the elements from the kit and some PowerPuff chalks:


No too bad comparing him with the original Browny:


Then, I followed the instructions from the Well Groomed kit, just changing some of the papers with the background papers without flowers (which are also cute but not what I wanted to portrait for our dear 16 year old male dog).

Then, I used tacky glue to glue the papers to the thick black cardboard sheets. And decorated the title page using the shaker elements that I had died cut previously.

For some pages, I used the TC Beautiful Words embossing folder to emboss the dark mats before attaching them to the pages:


I'm still working on decorating the inside pages with the G45 ephemera/post cards elements and stickers as well as more shaker die cuts I made. I really like the ribbon suggested binding of the book and might do it, attaching my Browny's rabies shot tag as dangle. Once I finish the album, I'll post it to.

Here are some close ups from the title page shaker elements.


Finally, I die cut the letters to spell "Browny" using two different G45 papers and glued them to the "love" shaker to finish the album title page.


I used the BoBunny alpha die for the "B" and the TH alpha dies for the rest.

And mine uncompleted one:


As I mentioned previously, I ended up changing the background paper of all the pages, but one (the multi-colored paw printed page)...

Airbrush Tote Bag

 Hi everyone!

Katie here with another project using the eBrush Airbrush System and anyone can do.

I'm those type of people who brings a reusable tote bag with me everywhere and I thought it would be find to customize my own. This is a fun project for all ages.







Materials:

Craftwell eBrush Airbrush System

Sharpie Markers

Blank Canvas Tote Bag (I got mine from a 99 cent store)

Variety of stencils from Amazon

Tulip Dimensional Fabric Paint - Metallic Blue, Metallic Gold & Slick Leaf Green

Puffy Paint - Red Violet

Scotch 3M Painters Tape

Elmer's Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive

Gloves

Cardboard pieces


First thing, I chose 3 different stencil designs I can play around with and work well together. Also chose 3 different marker colors and 4 fabric paints that compliment each other.

Take a piece of cardboard, placed it inside the tote bag so the colors don't bleed through and gives me a somewhat flat surface to work on. Taking the scotch painters tape, I line a border and other places I don't want to get airbrushed. *Make sure tape is close to the tote because any open gaps will not give you clean lines. 

Taking my first stencil, I used the painters tape to hide some of the details I don't want to airbrush onto the bag. I used the spray adhesive to help keep the stencil in place which worked better than taping it to the bag because when I taped down the stencil, it wasn't able to hold down the intricate details and you won't get clean lines. I only realized this after it happened to me and you might be able to see it on the tote bag. Trial and errors. *Make sure to read the instructions on the spray adhesive can before using.



With each stencil, I alternated with each marker and had fun with each placement. When that was done, I did the same with the fabric paint. Make sure to let it dry or it will smudge and again I did learn the hard way 😅


Hope you all enjoyed my project. Until next time!!

Katie

Simple Thanks

Hello everyone!! This is Berina here today with a simple card that can be made in batches.

It's nearing the end of school year and I've been experimenting with quick and elegant cards to give to the teachers as sets. This is on of the designs. I used the Crafters Companion Victoriana die for this card. For the sentiment, I chose the Altenew Fancy Hello, which pairs so elegantly with the Victoriana die. I used my SNAP to die cut them. It's pretty simple to die cut and assemble the card. I could die cut all at once and then assemble them. That would be pretty quick and easy I think.

What do you think about this card? Do let me know. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

- Berina
