Rosebud Tutorial on Marion's Blog

0

HI everyone, over on Marion's blog a few weeks ago I was asked to do a tutorial for  making Rosebuds.  For my blog post today, I have given a step out tutorial on creating these rosebuds.

  

I used Marion Smith Designs Bloom Impression Dies - Large Roses, Glue Dots®, and Tattered Angel's Sunshine Glimmer Mist for my roses.

PLEASE VISIT Marion's Blog to learn how to make them. 

I used these rosebuds on the canvas that I featured last week  for the blog hop.

    

Look at how gorgeous these buds look wrapped in this floral spray.

   I have a tutorial for the Roses on my blog. You can check it out here. 

I hope you have fun making these rosebuds. If you do, please share your projects with us in social media by using the #MarionSmithDesigns  #BloomImpressionDies




Thanks for stopping in today.

Hybrid Burlap Mini Album - by Tonya Gibbs

1

Hi everyone, I hope you are having an awesome weekend.  I made a little 6x6 burlap mini album in just a few hours, and thought I would share it with you today.  I used  Marion's Scarlet Digitals  along with some odd and end scraps from her Mad Tea Party and Nirvana printed lines.  I love how her printed lines and digi lines compliment each other perfectly! 

 

 

 

I added lots of yummy layers to the cover. A few months ago I shared a tutorial on how to make the flower, and I love how it coordinates with the roses in her papers.

 

 

For the inside I used one of Tim Holtz' binder mechanisms and 4x6 photo sleeves.

 

 

 

 

Pull out those punches and dies for projects like this.  They help to add a little interest to photo mats, and make great layering elements.

 

 

 

The journal pages are from some of Marion's Primrose printable. I fussy cut the rose and added it to the far right so it would match the rest of the papers.

 

 

I love how this file folder serves as a pocket on one of the pages.

 

 

Tags are a great way to add multi-level pages.  Tabs also offer interest sticking out of the margins.

 

 

I used some of the ATC sized note cards from her Nirvana collection to give an extra journal spot. 

 

 

 

The photo sleeves will offer protection for my photos, and give a nice clean finished look to the album.

 

 

This was a super fun project, and I just love it, when you can marry a bunch of itty bitty scraps, to create fabulous layers.   This little mini is going to make a gorgeous gift for one of my scrappy buddies. 

 

Thanks for stopping in today,
