A Unique Piece of Jewelry!

Today, I am featuring a truly unique piece of jewelry.  My niece just LOVES One Direction and, in particular, Harry Styles.  I created this necklace for her.

It was actually pretty easy with Globecraft Supplies.  Here is how it was done:

MATERIALS:
Vintage Flourish Charm Set
Glastique
Metallic Silver 3D Enamel Gel
Piccolo Instant Cure UV Resin
Black Satin-Like Necklace
Silver Bail
One Direction Trading Cards (or a picture of your subject)
Pencil
Scissors
Paint Brush
Big Bite or another Hole Punch
Manicurist UV Machine or Bright Sunlight

DIRECTIONS
1)  Chose the picture that you would like to use.

2)  Remove the shape you would like to use from the board.  I thought I was going to use the heart.  Later, I changed my mind.

3)  Use the hole created by the removal of the shape as a mask to determine where you will need to cut the picture.

4)  When you choose the shape of the image you want, and you like the cropping, trace it with a pencil.

5)  Remove the mask and use scissors to cut out the image.
6)  Use a little Glastique on the book board and lightly press the image in place.

7) Punch the hole where you need it.
8)  Use the Metallic Silver 3D Enamel Gel around the edges of the image.  It will cover any cutting mistakes you made and help hide things in the background, like the other boy's hand in my case.  Don't forget to cover the back of the project when the front is dry. (I made a little surprise for the back, too.)

9)  When the Gel is completely dry, squeeze the UV Resin over the whole front of the project.  Use a brush to even out any spots if you need to.

10)  Cure for three minutes in the manicure machine or the direct sunlight.
11)  Flip project over and repeat steps 9 and 10.

Here is the little surprise that I made for the back.  I used the same technique, but the logo was from a different one of the trading cards.  The entire area around the logo was colored with the Silver 3D Enamel Gel.

He's Her Hunny!

Even though the new Dreamweaver Design Team is posting every other week, I am still in the habit of posting every Thursday.  Of course, without a theme to follow, I can chose whatever I want to work on.  This week, I chose to feature a scrapbook page about my darling cousin.  She has loved Winnie the Pooh ever since she was a baby!

This is her shopping experience on a recent trip to Walt Disney World.  She made a very special purchase at the shop next to the Winnie the Pooh ride!
This page was made with the Dreamweaver Stencil LJ806 Honeeycomb and Globecraft & Piccolo 3D Enamel Gels in Bright Yellow.  For a complete photo tutorial and the chance to WIN a stencil, see the Paper Craft Planet Blog post HERE.

A Chilly Globecraft Wreath

Here in Michigan, the deep freeze known as winter has really just begun.  I have created this little wreath, featured today on the Globecraft Blog, to celebrate what I can about the season--the beauty of snow.

Come check out how I made it HERE.

A Globecraft Napkin Ring

This is my first post as a member of the Globecraft Memories Design Team!  As with my other design teams, I am sure that it won't be long before you discover which products I truly love the most.  I will tell you right now with Globecraft that I just ADORE the 3D Enamel Gels.  That what I have chosen to feature first here, and on the Globecraft blog. 

MATERIALS:

Globecraft Memories 3D Enamel Gel in Dark Green
Globecraft Memories 3D Enamel Gel in Napthol Red
Globecraft Memories 3D Enamel Gel in Orange
Globecraft Memories 3D Enamel Gel in Bright Yellow
Globecraft Memories Glastique
Globecraft Memories Enamel Powders in Copper Kettle
Globecraft Piccolo Enamel Powder Adhesive
Globecraft Piccolo Maple Leaf Bezel
Adirondack Metallics Acrylic Paint Dabber
Paint Brush
Silhouette Digital Die Cut Machine
Samantha Walker Leaf Border Design
Kraft Paper
Craft Knife
Ruler
Pencil
Scissors
Inkessentials Craft Sheet
Manual Die Cut Machine (I used the Cuttlebug)
Texture Folder (I used Tim Holtz Alterations in Regal Flourish)
Toilet Paper Roll
2 Small and 2 Medium Binder Clips

DIRECTIONS:
1)  Measure the width that you want the napkin ring to be.  I used 1 1/4".  Mark toilet paper roll with pencil and cut, first a rough cut with craft knife, and then refine with scissors.

2)  Paint the maple leaf bezel and the toiled paper roll piece (will be referred to as napkin ring from here out) with the Copper paint.  You will need to unscrew the top and use a brush in the bottle to get the inside of the napkin ring.  Let dry.
3)  Use manual die cut machine and texture folder with the leaf.
4)  Put fall colors of 3D Enamel Gel in stripes on top of leaf.

5)  Use finger to blend colors.

6)  Wipe off excess color with a finger covered in paper towel and ran gently across project.  Let dry.


 

7)  Decide on a pattern that will fit on the napkin ring and cut, using the Silhouette or another digital die cutting machine.  Cut from kraft paper.
8)  Cover kraft paper with Enamel Embossing Powder Adhesive and embossing powder.  Heat set.
9) Use Glastique to glue the border pattern onto the napkin ring.  Let dry.  You may have to clamp.
10)  Add the leaf pattern on the top using Glastique.  Clamp with medium sized binder clip.

That's it!  A simple little upcycle.
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed my project.  The best part?  If you don't want to store the napkin rings after the holidays, you can toss the ring section and keep that gorgeous bookboard leaf for another project!  Check one out at the Globecraft Blog.
