Tutu Tuesday Tutorial, 30th Oct 2018

Welcome back to another Tutu Tuesday Tutorial. 

Today I'm revisiting the tutorial I did on 11th September 2018 for making gift bags. But today I'm going one step further & making Rosettes to decorate this kind of bag.

This rosette is fairly easy to make but looks so striking when you team it with matching papers, and glitter papers too!  A list of what I have used to make this is listed below.

So, let's have a look...

---

Firstly, cut one sheet of 6x6" DSP into 2" strips (you will get three and they are the perfect size and length)  Decide which side you want to be the main side. You may need to take into account stripes when cutting.  Next, using a scoreboard, score each strip at 1/4" intervals then join the three pieces together with tear & tape. Fold in fan folds so you end up with the full joined 3 strips looking like the 3rd photo below.







Next, you will need fast drying glue or a hot glue gun. I suggest the hot glue gun because you may end up having to hold  the rosette down whilst the centre circle dries onto the folded rosette.





Glue some punched out circles or coordinating paper to glue front and back.  This will hold the rosette nice and flat, ready for decorating!



I've used some of the gorgeous Glimmer Paper on page 29 of the current Holiday Catalogue. I've cut it out using my Big Shot & the Beautiful Layers Thinlits dies.



Using your choice of stamps and images, decorate the front and use some nice ribbon on the back to make a hanger as in this photo below.  I have used the Signs Of Santa photopolymer stamp set, it's so darn cute!  I've water coloured that little elf with water colour pencils.





And using papers from the Santa's Workshop DSP, I've created a really pretty gift bag & attached a rosette to the front of it too.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing this little tutorial &what I've created using many of the beautiful products available in this year's holiday catalogue. Remember, all products are available until 2nd January 2019 or until stocks last.  Don't forget, you can make this gift bag out of any 12x12" double sided patterned papers for any time of the year!  So, get cracking and use up all those gorgeous papers you've been 'hoarding' because before you know it a whole new range will be coming!

til next time,

happy stamping, colouring & creating!

FF@F'o'clock'ish, 26th October 2018!

Welcome back to another Fabulous Friday at Five'o'clock'ish!

Yes, I've been a bit inconsistent but such is life at the Hampson's Hovel and in Wirgie's world!

I hope you like the project I've been working on this week.  I thought it was time I christened this lovely stamp set "Beautiful Promenade"  It's been sitting on my shelves for a couple of months taunting me to use it.  I wasn't sure where to start but once I did, well, let's let the video show you ;-)

Someone wanted to play with my aquapainter brush and chew the corners of my paper and card pieces, hello Nibbles, by name and nature LOL

How did I get the speckled coppery background?  Take a look at this little video...

And here is my finished creation.  Now some of you may have seen my posts on Facebook about the missing 5cm square acrylic block with a polymer stamp attached. To the moment of publishing this it still hasn't turned up, dang!  But I improvised by using the matching leaf die here so all was not lost.   You may hear me cheer all around Australia when that darn block and stamp turn up ;-)   Soooo here is my final finished project I am very very happy with it and even got a massive oh wow from the Herbster, my hubby

Soooo..... til next time,

happy stamping, colouring & creating!
