Studio Sunday Time

It's Cassie here and I'm showing off a cute little tagbook. The main directions and idea came from Suzanna Boyd and you can go here to see her video directions. This would be cute to give as a gift with IOU cards or even to a hostess aroudn the holidays filled with gift tags waiting to be filled out. I plan on using mine with summer fun ideas.

The supplies you will need:
A Sassy image, I used Hula Hunny
1 12x12 double sideded designer paper
1 sheet of cordinating paper
score-pal (or a score blade for your cutter)
a paper cutter/trimmer
tape/glue
ribbon

Step one is to score your 12x12 paper every 3 inches (you should end up with four columns). Turn the paper 90 degrees and score at 2 inches, 6 inches, and 10 inches. Fold along the scored lines.


They take the cutter and using the 6 inch score cut up 9 inches (you should have a 3 inche area still intact).



Now fold it like an accordian. Add tape to the parts that need to be sealed (there is about three spots - the first pocket, the middle, and the last pocket).




Cute the smaller paper down to 1"x4" as this will be the book binding to hide any uneven folds. Glue/tape this piece to the book. Now decorate the front using your favorite Sassy image. Be sure you put foam tape on the main image so that the ribbon can slide through and it can be tied and untied as needed.





Can't wait to see why ya'll come up with. I'll try to get a Mr. Linky up as soon as I figure out how :)

Pot of Gold

Well I wasn't sure what I was going to do for a tutorial because the other DT rock at coloring and I am nowhere near their skilll level! However, when Lucy Leprechaun was released I knew what I wanted to do. I thought she would be a perfect Pot of Gold for my girls!



To start out I purchased some clay pots.

I painted the pots with the gold metallic acrylic paint. So quick and easy only took a few minutes.



To adhere the glitter I just ran a strip of the 2 sided tape around the rim and then shook the glitter on top (do this over a catch tray to save unused glitter). I then pressed down on the glitter to make sure most of it was stuck down then blew and wiped the excess (I see by the picture that I should have done a bit more wiping! )


I then colored my Lucy's. I love digital images as they can be made any size you want and I wanted her pretty big to suit the pot. As you can see I only colored the parts I needed. Before cutting her out I adhered another piece of cardstock to the back for stability.



Sorry about the lighting here - my good camera is in Europe with my hubby and oldest daughter so I have to use my youngest daughters camera, but you get the idea. I attached Lucy with foam squares. I also am giving this to my daughters who are 14 and 12 so I didn't want the beer mug. I did my best to cover it up with a shamrock bouquet (cut with cricut - Paper Dolls Dress Up). I know my girls are going to love this, as they never get St. Patrick's Day things so this will be totally unexpected!



As a final tip. I am not normally a glitter person so I don't want it all over everything. So I use this handy little tool to clean off my work area.
