Christmas Gift – Personalized Candle

 

I am working on a little crafting today.  I’ve been meaning to do this project for a little while now, but getting a picture that is okay enough to use, along with finding enough hours in my day is never a challenge!  ha! 

 

So this is what the picture looked like once I cropped it down.  Thanks, Deanna, for getting this picture of the three of us on Saturday so I can finally do this project!!!

 

GEDC0798 (2)

 

What you’ll need for this project:

  • Glass Taper Candle Holder
  • Glass Globe
  • Candle
  • Ribbon
  • E6000 Glue
  • Heat Tool
  • Tissue Paper
  • Photo

 

I started out with a candlestick that is supposed to hold taper candles, a glass globe and a cheap, white candle…all items that I picked up at The Dollar Tree yesterday.

I used E6000 glue (available with the rest of the adhesives at your hobby/craft store) and adhered the candlestick (the part where the taper candle is supposed to sit) to the bottom center of the globe.  I allowed it to dry overnight with a little weight on it so it would get a good seal and added a very simple bow!  I added a simple bow from ribbon I bought at Michaels on the after-Halloween clearance.  It doesn’t look Halloween-y to me…but who is going to argue price over cheap ribbon?  Certainly not me!

Now for the fun part…

 

I took some tissue paper, wrapped it around a piece of white cardstock, and adhered it to the back.  I used a little of my repositionable adhesive, but keep in mind that whatever you use is going to tear your tissue paper IF you are going to try to remove the tissue paper from the cardstock vs cutting it (like I did).  Just make sure you don’t tape/adhere it just right around the edge of your paper or you may tear your picture! 

 

Now that my tissue paper is adhered to the cardstock, I loaded it in my printer facing down (test your printer to see which way your paper needs to be loaded…some printers need the paper to be facing up!).  I printed it, then rather than trying to remove the tape/adhesive from the pack of the paper, I used scissors and carefully cut around the edge of my picture.  Yes, that means for every print I do, I am wasting a piece of paper…but quite possibly saving my sanity at the same time.  ha!  Also, I haven’t tried to recycle the paper for another picture, but since it does bleed through the tissue paper onto the cardstock a little, it could quite possibly ruin your next set of pictures…?

 

Once that’s all done, I place my picture onto my candle where I want it.  I wrap a piece of waxed paper around my candle and over the top of my picture (make sure your picture didn’t shift) and grab the waxed paper on the back of your candle in your hand.  You are going to use this as a bit of a handle.  Remember, the heat gun gets hot when you’re heating the candle to adhere the tissue paper, so you’ll want to keep your hands out of the way of that. 

 

Now that you have your tissue paper in place with your waxed paper over the top of it, grab your heat tool.  Remember that you are working with WAX here and it will melt quickly from the heat of your heat tool!  Keep your heat gun moving so that you don’t overheat your candle!  You’ll see your tissue paper picture start turning glossy.  Keep the heat moving over your entire picture until it’s all turned shiny.  Allow to cool for a couple of seconds (this doesn’t take long at all) and CAREFULLY remove the waxed paper from your candle. 

 

I kept my candle horizontal with my work surface so that any of the candle wax that melted stayed inside the waxed paper.  Just make sure you are working over a surface that is covered. 

 

This is what my candle looked like when I was done. 

 

DSC03565

This is what the candle and holder look like together.

 

DSC03556

And THAT, ladies & gentlemen, is my grandmother’s Christmas gift.  The only thing that would make it better?  If the other two kiddos would have been there to be in the picture.  Of course I’d have needed a bigger candle, but…….  ;o)

 

I figure come Christmas, my mom is going to see this and want one too.  *sigh*  j/k, Mom (if you’re reading!)

 

Thanks for stopping by!  If you have any questions, shoot me an email or leave a comment.  All comments are emailed to me, so I’ll see it.

The Character Cafe Feature Friday - Santa Easel Card

 

DSC00809

For today’s Feature Friday card with The Character Cafe, I decided to use this amazing looking Santa with his list!  I added Stickles to his had for a “glitter” effect, so I’m using this for the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog! 

Yes, I know his scroll is blank!  As soon as I figure out who I’m sending it to, I’ll write their names on it.  In the meantime, he remains with no confirmed “good” boys & girls on his list!  LOL 

Oh and while we’re on the topic of Santa…I *do* know that Santa’s beard & hair is supposed to be white (MOM!!), but he already had too much other white that his hair & beard would have just gotten lost in the shuffle.  ;o)

The card itself is pretty straight-forward.  It’s an easel card (A2 sized card), cut at 4.25” on the short side of an 8.5x11 sheet of cardstock, scored at 5.5” and scored again at 2.75”. 

  • Red & Black Cardstock – Cardstock Online
  • Patterned Paper – DCWV Christmas Stack (an older stack)
  • Button & Ribbon – from my stash
  • Sentiment – Christmas Daily (if someone has a link, please let me know!  I can’t seem to find mine to give credit here!)
  • Bling on Santa’s hat – Star Dust Stickles (loves these!!)
  • Copics – E50, E53, E00, B24, 0, C1, C3, C5, C7, C9, R24 AND R29

Tuesday Morning Sketches

DSC03439 

The Rusty Pickle Design Team was invited to join in on this week’s Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge!  Very exciting!  I just love sketches!!!  And this one is NO different! 

 

This is the sketch we were sent.     

 

2012.8

 

I wanted to use the OH SO CUTE Lazy Day Snowman, so you’ll notice that I turned the sketch so it looks like this for my project:

 

2012.8

 

I’m also using this project to enter the Copic Creations challenge!  Here is an angled view of my project so you can see that I popped it up a little.  The snowman did have a little bird sitting on it’s “hip” area, so I printed out six images and cut the little birds out to use on the bottom, rather than using buttons or Skittles like I normally do. 

DSC03453

DSC03443

I chose to leave mine without a sentiment since I’m not sure who I’m going to send it to yet.  It’s called leaving the options open!  ha!

 

DSC03438

Here are the details of what I used for this project:

  • Snowman & Birds – The Rusty Pickle
  • Copics – 0, BG10, E13, E99, RV00, C9, C7, C3, E21, R37, YG63, YR65
  • Bling on Hat – Stardust Stickles
  • Patterned Paper – My Mind’s Eye Signature Christmas Stack
  • Glitter Paper – K & Company (purchased at Target)

 

Check out what the rest of this week’s team has to offer!

The Character Cafe – Feature Friday – Easel Christmas Card AND Mini Pizza Box!

DSC03301

Hello! Thanks for stopping by my blog today to check out my project! Today is a day of FIRSTS! I have made my very first of two projects - an easel card and a mini pizza box! I was a little intimidated by both of them, but they are EASY! I’ll even give you measurements here! :o)

This is my "off" week with The Character Cafe, so I'm entering this into the Verve Stamps challenge!


DSC03289

A photo of the easel card ‘closed’.

DSC03297A photo of the easel card open.

For the Easel Card – makes a 4” card

First, figure out what cardstock and patterned paper you’re going to use! Once you’ve done that, decide how you’re going to layer the papers!

Measurements:

  1. 4x8 inch card stock – this will be your card base!
  2. 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 cardstock or patterned paper
  3. 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 cardstock or patterned paper
  4. 3 3/4 x 1 3/4 cardstock or patterned paper

Directions:

  1. On the 8” side of your cardstock, score at 2 and 4 inches.
  2. Fold on score lines to make a valley and mountain fold. This makes the triangular shape like what is shown on my card below.
  3. Add your layers and embellish.

*To make an A2 sized card, cut your 8.5x11 sheet of cardstock at 4.25”, then fold in half at 5.5” to get a card where the front flips up rather than opening on the right hand side. Score at 2.75” and fold to make your mountain fold (like below). The sizes above won’t work for this size card, but you’d just adjust your sizes down by 1/4” for each layer. Hope that helps. If not, leave me a comment here with your email address and I’ll email you back!

DSC03320Photo of Mini Pizza Box.

For the Mini Pizza Box – makes a 4x4 box

This is an EXPENSIVE project, so brace yourself!!! You’ll need ONE sheet of 8.5x11 paper, adhesive and whatever embellishments you want to use! Yes, that’s it! Expensive, huh? LOL

Measurements:

  1. 6x11 sheet of cardstock – this needs to be CARDSTOCK!
  2. 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 piece of cardstock of patterned paper
  3. 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 piece of cardstock of patterned paper
  4. 3 3/4 x 3/4 pieces of cardstock or patterned paper (you’ll need 4)

Directions:

  1. Take your 6x11 sheet of cardstock and score on the 6” side at 1 and 5 inches.
  2. Turn your cardstock to the 11” side and score at 1, 5, 6 and 10 inches.
  3. On BOTH of the 11” sides, cut all score lines to the perpendicular line. DO NOT cut the entire square out! These are the flaps to hold your box together!
  4. Fold all scored lines and crease with bone folder to get a crisp edge.
  5. Adhere flaps to inside of box. You’ll want a strong adhesive that is going to hold well! I used Zip Dry and held the flaps closed for several seconds to make sure it held.
  6. Layer cardstock or patterned pieces and embellish as desired.

See? It really is easy! :o)

DSC03326 A photo of both projects together.

Now, the details of my supplies are a little “fuzzy”. I don’t know where the patterned paper came from! It was in a Christmas paper stack, but unfortunately I don’t know which one! I took them out of the stack and put them into a bag of Christmas papers and embellishments several months ago…dumb idea!

  • Image – The Character Cafe
  • Copics – R11, E29, E37, E27, E99, C5, C7, C9, R37, R29, G29, YG17
  • Texture on Reindeer & Antlers – blending solution on paper towel and tapped onto image
  • Red & Blue textured paper – Cardstock Online
  • Buttons – from my stash

Text in a Circle - TUTORIAL

THANK YOU SO MUCH to my friend, Fran, for emailing me this information!  I’d been doing this in Inkscape and taking crazy steps to put it into PSP to be able to save it as a PNG file!  I haven’t tried her steps yet…not enough hours in the day…but she is very thorough with her instructions.  If you happen to have any questions or run into trouble, please let me know and I’ll relay the information to her! 

Oh, thought I’d also add that I *did* get permission from Fran to post this information on my blog!  She doesn’t have a blog yet, but said she may set one up in the near future.  Maybe if she gets enough feedback from this post we can get her to do more tutorials!?!?!  So, leave comments to let Fran know exactly how much you love her tutorial and how much you’d LOVE to see her do more!  ;o)

1.  Open PSP and new image.

new page1

2. Click on the Preset Shapes option on your toolbar.

3. You should now see your Preset Shape window.  Select Ellipse to draw your circle. See my dimensions below.

4. Draw the size circle you need for the text you will be using.  Remember to hold the Shift Key down as you draw the

    circle so that it is round in shape.

5. Click on the Font Option on the Toolbar.

font tool visual5

6. Take your mouse and place cursor on the line of the circle and you should see this

    image.  font image in circle6.  Now begin to write your text.  The first image shows what dimensions, etc. I used to get my

    text around the circle in the Text Entry Window.  The second image shows my results.

Sample text in text entry window7

Text on a Circle visual8

7.  Now lets get rid of the Selection Square around your circle and the circle too.  You do this by:

     Clicking on Selections (top of the screen toolbar) Select None---Square is gone!

    Now in order to get rid the circle you have to go to your Layer Palette. Click on the layer option as indicated

    in the visual below.

8. After you click on the layer palette option you should see this window.

open layer palette visual10 Now click on the plus sign to view all the layers.

9.  See the Red Xs below.  Click on the glasses icon next to ellipse and background.

circle gone now transparetn11  Circle and white background should be gone.  Now click on the

     red X in the right hand corner of the Layer Palette to get rid of the window.

10. You should see your text in a circle on a transparent screen.

The Rusty Pickle – Sneak Peek – Baby Shoes

DSC03250

Thanks for stopping by! My sneak peek today for The Rusty Pickle is BABY SHOES!!! These baby images are just TOO CUTE! For this project, I chose to do another girl card. I know! I know! But I just love girly, lacy, frilly cards…which is very weird, because I’m not a girly, lacy, frilly kind of person! I wear jeans & t-shirts most of the time and rarely wear anything dressy. I guess you could say I’m living my “frilly-ness” through my cards!

DSC03245

(photo with flash)

Details for this project:

  • Image – The Rusty Pickle
  • Ribbon – White Ribbon colored with Copic marker
  • Purple CS – Stampin Up!
  • Gems – Skittles
  • Paper Punch – Doily by Martha Stewart
  • Embossing Folders – Flowers (from Paisley & Flowers set) by Sizzix and Tiny Bubbles by Cuttlebug

Image was cut out and popped up on three layers of CS with foam tape.

The Rusty Pickle – Sneak Peek – Baby Bunny Card

 

DSC03258

 

Hello Blogville!  I am honored and privileged to be invited to be on the very first EVER Design Team for The Rusty Pickle!  THANK YOU!  These images are SO cute and inspiring!  Michelle is releasing new images all the time, so be sure to check out The Rusty Pickle store to take a peek! 

DSC03261

For today’s project, I chose to do my project as a baby card.  Seems like several people we know have had, or are having, babies.  No thank you!  I love my kids dearly, but three is enough for me!  ;o)

For my baby bunny card, I used:

  • Image - Bunny from The Rusty Pickle
  • Embossing – D’vine Swirl and Tiny Bubbles from Cuttlebug
  • Bling – Star Dust Stickles
  • Ribbon – White ribbon, colored with Copic marker
  • Copics – RV00, RV32, RV23, C3, C5

Misc info:  I used Colorless Blending Solution on a paper towel to get a sort of “textured/fur” effect on the bunny.  Click on one of the photos and see if it comes through for you.  It’s a really easy step that I think adds a little something to your project!

PTA Holiday Cards

I’ve had a few people ask me to post photos of the PTA cards I made, so here they are!  I’m not going to go into detail on them.  They are pretty self-explanatory!  ;o)

DSC03095

Yes, I know the stamp is crooked!  I got better as I went along!  ;o)

 

DSC03112

 

DSC03103 

There are a total of 120 cards.  There are probably more pink than there are blue.  I wish we’d have planned better, because our principal just finished her last breast cancer treatment.  We *should* have done them all pink in celebration!  SHUCKS!

The folder is Winter House and the glitter is Star Dust Stickles.  I used a FULL bottle of Stickles and two bottles of Zip Dry adhesive to do these cards.  I’ve never emptied a bottle of Stickles before!  ha!

Thanks for stopping by!
