Shaker Journal Cover - Tutorial


Hello everyone!
This is Shilpa here. I love Journaling and I make lots of Journals. I am hooked to Shaker Journal Covers these days as Papericious has best 3D Shaker Elements options. 

I get many requests and queries about these Shaker Covers/ Cards Tutorial. So here is the one I am sharing today.
We are making the front cover of this Romance Journal.

Step 1
To make the Shaker Gate embellishment, we are using Papericious five piece 3D Shaker -"Victorian Gate Chippis". It consists of 3 layers of base, transparent plastic sheet of same design and top layer design.

Step 2
Adhere first 3 layers together with strong glue. And next, according to design and color of my Journal, we are coloring Gate Chippis to dark red. Before that we need to apply Black Gesso to it as Primer.

Step 3
Mix Red and Lamp Black Chalk Paints to get correct shade of red and apply to both pieces of Gate design Chippis.

Step 4
Add Sequins into the design and adhere transparent sheet onto it so the sequins remain inside.

Step 5
Adhere the last layer of Gate design with glue. Make sure you use good quality, strong and transparent glue so the final Shaker design looks neat and clean.

Step 6
Now, It's time to decorate our cover.
Cut out design papers from Billet Doux Paper Pack to the size of Journal and stick it. To hold this journal together, we need to attach ribbon, here I have used red velvet ribbon.

Step 7
Add two more layers of design papers from paper pack with the use of foam adhesive. It will give dimension to the whole design.

Step 8
Adhere thin lace to the surface. Attach foam adhesive to Victorian Gate Shaker Design and stick it to the surface.

Step 9
Papericious Cut and Create Embellishment Sheets are wonderful to add beauty to the project.
Cut out all designs from Billet Doux Cut and Create Embellishment Sheets.
Step 10  
Adhere few of them according to your liking to the cover. Use remaining ones to decorate inside pages of Journal.

Step 11
For final touch, I have also adhered Papericious White Chippis - "Love" and few more pieces of lace.

Altered Box ft. Cut and Create Embellishment Sheets - SMILE


Altered Box (SMILE)  

Hello friends!
This is Nandini. Here I am back again with an altered art project. My luv for Mixed Media and colours have got the wings with the lovely products of Papericious. Some days before I just got a box  which is to be thrown away, but instead of dustbin it has got place at my craft table and I have renovate it with Mixed Media. 

Here is the procedure:
Take the box and paint it with the Chalk Paint “Bracket Green“.  Make some textures using Modelling Paste and stencil. Spray using brush some Lamp Black Chalk Paint on it. Let it to be dry. For the focal point, I have taken the Victorian Gate from the Papericious 3D Shaker Collection. For the colouring of the window, do the first coat with Gesso and second coat with Natural White Chalk Paint. Put some Crystal Clear Glitter on the wet paint so that it will be fixed with the colour only. Put some Sequins in it and cover it with an OHP sheet. To decorate it with flowers, take Cut & Create Embellishment Sheet "Blush". This collection has beautiful images of flowers, leaves, butterflies, hearts and keys. Do fussy cutting of all the images and make a beautiful composition near the gate. It gives a beautiful vision of a garden window which can make anyone smile. Take the sentiment "Smile" from the "Moments" Collection and colour it with Gesso and White Chalk Paint. To enhance its beauty, put some Crystal Clear on the sentiment. Let it be dry and settled.
