Saturday StepXStep, Altered Frame Fun Tutorial.....


Hey there guys it is Saturday so that means it is TIME for another STEPXSTEP....this time it is my turn, Terry....and I will show you what I made in a "few" steps.....



Oke so what I did was ....I had a frame in my closet and I thought that would be nice to alter it...so what I did was, I took the inside out the background looks awefull eh? so ...

So....what better way to work on the background with the Tissue Tape from The Tim Holtz....

After the Tissue Tape was placed, I thought why not use the stencil and use the Molding Paste also.


Then you get this...the background looks different eh? lol...thought so.....


Then I cut out a few hearts from corrugated card and worked on it with the Adirondack Color Wash and the Distress Crackle Paint....you get an amazing result if you use both products....

So first the corrugated card on top of the wooden hearts.....and after...
I sprayed the Adirondack Color Wash on top.....and yep on top of that layer, the crackle Distress Paint 


When the four hearts were ready I placed them on the background that goes inside the frame...


But only four hearts on the background was not enough, so perhaps some lace colored with the Adirondack Color Wash would do the trick.....


This is the result of the colored lace....I love the color it has now.....don't you just love it.....

Oke now were getting to the background of the Frame itself....I played around with lots of Crackle and yep Vintage Photo, the stencil is really lots of fun to use on the background, not THAT much but just a little bit to let you see a difference in different textures.....


Now the four finished hearts can find their place inside the frame....I worked a bit more on the colour on the frame itself.....


And to give the frame a bit more, I played around with another heart...offcourse I used crackle again lol....just love that crackled look....and a nice sentiment on top...


And offcourse a Tim Holtz corner to finish the heart embellishment on top....


And still I was not pleased with the bottom...so I found some roses and a piece of lace.....just love Linda's lace...did you see all the fabulous laces she has in her shop.......complete yummieness....and yep I colored the lace too with a bit of rusty colours and the roses on top....now I was getting somewhere....


So this is the result of my Saturday StepXStep....A altered frame and offcourse since all my projects have a hidden meaning behind it...can you tell what I want to express with my project? You think about what I mean......and offcourse you can tell me .....
Thank you so much for checking out the Saturday StepXStep and I hope I have helped you a bit with what you can do with a simple 'old' frame....and the New frame you can make out of it.....

Have loadsssss of fun guys.....
Hugs Terry xxxx

Friday Focus - Movers and Shapers

well it is time for another Friday focus and I am one lucky girl as I have got Movers and Shapers dies to focus on...I love these dies as they are so versatile and also have that cool Tim thing going on! Movers and shapers come in a variety of styles are are magnetic dies that work in conjunction with some of the bigz dies and/ or a base plate which is magnetic.  So hopefully I have a few projects designed to show some of the cool ways that these dies can be used.

To start off I created a large piece, which I will break down to show how I have used the Movers and shapers in different ways...So here is the large make :


Now to take this apart to show where and how the dies have been used: ( all the details for how this was made will be on my blog on Sunday)
 Firstly I cut out the pocket watch movers and shapers die and set the centre aside..this left the piece that usually would be discarded but I used this as a mask to stamp the cog design from Time Travellers set through.


I then also the pocket watch piece as a mask to cover over the stamped design so that I could ink the background.

Then using the fab circles from the movers and shapers range I firsty stamped a pocket watch using the pocket watch and base plate. Then I used the cut out shape and re cut using the smallest circle die to remove a piece from the centre, this gave me the piece placed on the box below.

 
So below shows the nearly finished piece that has used two masks made from the die and pocket watch base and frames, leaving a fab place in the centre just waiting to be filled...


And I gave into temptation and added another UTEE filled bottle cap complete with idea-ology gears...

The key is also a movers and shapers die and here has been used with the wonderful steampunk gent from time travellers set:


Then in another piece of the large make I again used the die cut itself and the hole left behind..if that make sense..as you can see with the cogs below..the fact that can be moved means they can cut out a piece inside a larger piece anywhere you like...really cool...


 I wanted to fill the large cog shape holes with cogs and then decided to fill them with glossy accents...but the cool thing is I could position them where I wanted within the piece of card and with the magnetic base tray they were held in place perfectly.


I then used the cogs for somewhere else in the piece.


I know this is a large piece with lots of die cuts..but I wanted to show you how the same idea can be achieved on small pieces..like these ATC's below where is used the in and outside pieces. Also the cool thing about the ATC is the inside space is magnetic so lots of the Movers and Shapers just fit inside...


This ATC below uses the heart shape and then the other uses the atc shape with the heart missing..



Finally a  previous piece to show other Movers and Shapers dies in action:


This piece above uses the large pocket watch die for the base and then the large pocket watch die in conjunction with the movers and shapers die for the centre piece to be removed to create the frame.

All the dies and Movers and Shapers I have used are listed below with links to the lovely Linda's Funkie Junkie Boutique, where these are already at a fab price and will now have another 15% off for this week as they are the Friday Focus..




Have a fun and inky one!
