Recently
I tried my first Modge Podge project, a Paris themed book, but it is actually a hidden box!
I also made a gorgeous card and matching Key-Ring with flattened Soda Pop Tops.
Paris Themed Card …
I had fun incorporating the new “Follow My Heart” and SAB “Banner Blast” stamp sets, and the matching Banner Punch with this card.
I used the Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin’ Pad on the embossed Pretty Print Textured Impressions to make the card pop.
For the inside of the card I stamped the image twice with Real Red ink, onto a separate sheet of Naturals White Cardstock .
The Chalk Talk Framelits {+ Big Shot} were used to cut the image, I then cut out the word “SOMETHING” out of the second image with my Paper Snips, which was layered with Dimensionals on to Basic Gray cardstock.
I then cut around the edges {of the Basic Grey cardstock}, leaving a slight margin, then layered with Dimensionals on to the first image.
The final layered image was then adhered to the card with my favourite double sided tape – phew!
Although this card was made for my best friend as a birthday card/gift, it could also be used as a sweet Valentine's Card.
Paris
Themed Book …
I started by purchasing a wooden box with hinges for $10.50, and transforming it into this cute Paris themed book/box, which I have seen similar for sale at The Mall for $30+!!!
I
used 3Ply Serviettes and separated the layers, using just the top patterned layer.
With
one thin layer of Modge Podge on the wooden box, I layered the Paris themed serviette
on top and smoothed it down. I left to try for 8 hours, and then added a second
coat of Midge Podge, and left overnight to dry.
I
finished the inside of the box with the gorgeous “Tea For Two” Designer Series
Paper, currently on Clearance Rack for $4.69, and grey Ribbon.
Paris
Themed Key-Rings …
I flattened the Soda Pop Tops using my Big Shot, with the No. 2 Platform removed.
For
the Key-Rings, I used my 1” 2.5cm Circle Punch to punch a couple of the images
from the serviettes.
I
used Modge Podge to adhere the very fine and flimsy serviette circle to the
flattened Soda Pop Top and left to dry.
I
then used “Crystal Effects” and a sprinkling of Dazzling Diamonds, and left to
dry overnight.
My
trusty Crop-A-Dile was used to punch a hole and then I slid a split ring
through the Soda Pop Tops to make the Key-Ring.
