Altered Diaries using 'Often' Collection with a Tutorial

Hello everybody,
This is Hussena here and I have some really quick and easy gifting ideas for the New Year. I'm sure most moms would agree that they would like to give a lil' something to their childrens' teachers or their hubby's clients. These altered diaries would make a perfect gift. The papers in the 'Often' collection are really very bright, peppy and trendy and they mix and match really well. The die-cuts that have been introduced with the paper packs make the perfect accents to dress up these diaries. Here's a look at two of these altered diaries that I have made:
(Scroll down below to check out the step by step tutorial on how I went about creating it).

 Diary one
 

A look at the inside of the diary:

The last page of the diary. The tags are die-cuts from the Often Collection.

A look at the back of the diary.

Diary two
 

Here's how I have embellished the inside of the diary.

This is how the last page of the diary looks like.
 
This is an inside page with a photo mat to include those special memories.

I have punched out circles and cut them in half to create these tabs on the side. These circles were punched out from all the left over scraps from the Often collection.
 
The back of the diary. 


 Now here's a simple  tutorial on how I went about creating this Altered diary :
Step 1 : Choose the pattern paper of your choice and measure and cut 2 pieces for the front and back of your diaries ...Just take an extra inch to your measurement as it will help to neatly fold over your paper.
      
 Step 2 : Cover the entire front cover of your diary with Mod Podge and also the back of your paper and glue it together.

Step 3 : Once you have glued the paper to the front of your diary, open it up  and cut a small slit on the corners of your paper as it helps to fold the paper easily and gives a finished look (As shown in the below picture).

 This is how it looks once you fold over your paper :

Step 4 : Now cover the back of your diary with Mod Podge and cover it similarly as shown in Step 2 and 3.

This is how your diary will look once it is covered :

Now to cover the spine of the diary cut an paper measuring 2 inch in width and the length will be the length of your diary cover. ..Mine was 8 inches so my dotted paper strip measures approximately 2 inches by 8 inches. Glue it over the front and back sides of your cover and now your diary is ready to be embellished.
 

A look at both the diaries together!

And this is how both the diary cover's look once I finished embellishing them. In both my diaries, I have used papers from the Often collection and have used die cuts from both Often and Infinity collections to embellish it further.

Hope you like my work and find the tutorial helpful.
Please do leave me your feedback as I love hearing from you :)
Have a nice day everyone!

Mixed media plaque using Infinity collection

Hello everyone,
 This is kavitha here today and i have a small tutorial to share for making this wall plaque with mixed media background.I have used "Infinity" collection for this project.As you may have seen already ,this collection is super gorgeous and  have some beautiful coordinating die cuts and flair buttons.


So lets get started
First i applied a coat of gesso on the wood.Then started sticking some pattern  papers in random way using mod podge(instead of sticking it as single layer this gives more texture for the base).The paper has some amazing textures to it which  suits mixed media very well.


Then i applied a coat of water downed gesso  to tone down the colors.Once it dried applied modelling paste through stencil,and while its still wet sprinkled some micro beads.

Sprayed some distress spray spun sugar and allowed it to dry.So now the base is ready in few easy steps.I decorated the plaque using beautiful die cuts and flair buttons from the collection along with some mulberry flowers and die-cut leaves.

Here are some close ups,isn't the die cuts are so gorgeous?,working with them is a breeze.




I hope you liked my project and enjoyed the tutorial,dont forget to leave your feed back:)
I wish you all a amazing and crafty NEW YEAR 2016,see you all next year:)

A Mixed Media Layout with Infinity Premium Collection

Hello, everyone!
This is Hussena bringing you another post for this month, but this time I have the very gorgeous Infinity Collection to share. As soon as I received these papers in my DT kit, I knew it would be perfect for a mixed media layout. The gorgeous prints and the coordinating die cuts are perfect for creating a shabby chic project, so here's a look at what I have made using these beautiful papers.


To create my LO, I selected one of the 12 X 12 " sheet from the Infinity collection and stuck it on a sturdy 12 X 12" cardstock. I, gessoed over the entire paper, once that was dry, I went to work with texture paste and a stencil which I had created using a die cut. Then, I sprayed and colored over my stenciled area with Lindy's Stamp Gang and Heidi Swapp sprays. All the die cuts that I used on this layout, are from the Infinity Collection Die cuts pack itself. I, further embellished it using my handmade flowers and a little bit of stamping on the background to create more texture.

Here are some close-up pictures for you to see all  the details :



I have also used the Papericious Adhesive buttons which coordinates with the Infinity collection. A close-up to show you how it looks!
 




I hope you like my humble attempt at layout making.  I am still learning and hope to get better in future. This Papericious collection is so gorgeous. It was totally a delight to work with the prints, and all the coordinating die cuts and adhesive buttons are the icing on the cake.
Please don't forget to leave me your comments/ suggestions. I love receiving your feedback. :)
Have a nice day everyone.

THE ARTY DESK ORGANISER – LOVING LIFE


The Great Sai Baba, who I revere, once said –
“Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is love - enjoy it.”
And to love the small elements of life, I am presenting today an ARTY DESK ORANIZER…

Imagine your husband’s work desk… Messed up papers and files. Pens and things scattered around…taking him endless hours to rearrange… Don’t you wish to make it more organized. That too with something which reflects your character and represents your love. Something which makes him remember you all the time – even when he is deeply engrossed with work routine, meeting clients and attending to calls. Yes this Desk Organizer can do just that.

Made from MDF board, this arty desk organizer is ornate with one of my most liked collection of pattern papers – “Infinity” collection from Papericious. Papericious is changing the way I do my crafting. With designs and colors to titillate that crafty bones, this latest collection is just awesome. The vintage look of the patterns make the product stand out. Besides the pattern paper, use of Papericious theme buttons and die cuts embellishments add that modern flavor to the vintage look of the organizer.

Besides the latest collection of Papericious, the desk organizer is beautified with lovely quotes of ‘life’, floral die-cuts, trinkets, distressed and glass glitter effect and use of diamond dust.










I am sure your crafty bones will also get tinkled on seeing this presentation. So go ahead and create YOUR REFLECTION on your loved one’s work desk.

Do let me know how you liked it and do feel free to ask any query on this creation.

Have a wonderful weekend
