Well we decided to do a quick trip down to FL to see my family and hit CHA for a few hours. :) And since we are doing CHA stuff I thought I would share what I made for the Prism Booth! :) I love this layout so much and just may remake it to add to Em's scrapbook! But for right now it is hanging on the wall at the Prism booth!!! I hope to snap a shot of it up there today and will come load it here but for now you get the "on the floor" shot from when I had it at my house! LOL Enjoy!!!

Today over at Unscripted Sketches the sketch was just SCREAMING layout to me! And I had JUST the right photo for it too! I thought the best way to make this photo sing was to keep the colors clean and striking....so it was Black and White and a few accent colors... :) The Nested Butterflies Die Template set from Spellbinders is quickly becoming a "grab n go" set for me it seems...I LOVE IT!!! :) Anyway, go check out the sketch for this week and if it grabs your attention, then come play with US!!!!

The Contemporary
Hearts Pendant die templates contains a large die, a small die and two accent dies
all ranging from just over three and a half inches wide down to just over an
inch. Designed with high detail and sized for layering, the possibilities are
endless!
When I first saw the die I was assigned to use I knew exactly what I wanted to
make... a Christmas Ornament! I love adding new ornaments to my tree each year
and so I thought, why not start now rather than wait for that last minute rush
during the holiday season? Then I also thought it would be fun to make a
matching gift that could be kept out year round and so that is how the framed
artwork piece came to be! :)
I have created a step by step instructional tutorial, with photos, showing how
to create the ornament. For the framed artwork, simply use steps 1-7 to
recreate the layered pendant. Enjoy~
Victorian Layered Christmas Ornament
Designed By: Keri Lee Sereika
Supplies:
Three largest dies from - Contemporary Hearts Pendant - Spellbinders
Patterned Paper & Ruffled Taffeta Trim - Webster's Pages
Cardstock: Vanilla Cream & Birchtone Dark Prismatics - Prism Papers
Papier-mâché Rectangular Ornament - Craft Store
Krylon Hammered Finish Metallic Spray Paint
Foam Tape or 3-D Foam Squares - Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
Gems and other Embellishments as you see fit. (Before beginning spray paint all sides and edges of papier-mâché ornament and
allow to fully dry.)
Step1 - Begin by die cutting one layer of each shape and remove from dies. You may need
to use a paper piercer or needle to help remove the die cut from the die. Each
die is designed with small holes in the back surface for just this very
reason...
Note: Due to the high detail of the dies we have found it is sometimes
beneficial to run the die through your die cut machine, turn one quarter turn
and run it through again just to be sure all edges and details have been
captured.
Step 2 - Fold the largest die cut image (the patterned paper one) in half matching the
edges.
Step 3 - Open the die cut and turn one quarter turn, fold in half again. Your die cut
image should now be creased in quarters. Open once again and turn one
eighth turn and fold in half.
Step 4 - Repeat folding and opening and turning one last time, then pinch the point of
each heart to create a "mountain / valley" fold pattern. Your die cut
shape should look like the one pictured here.
Step 5 - Place small pieces of foam tape or 3-D Foam Squares onto the top two layers
of cardstock die cut shapes and layer them onto one another and then onto
the patterned paper die cut shape.
Here is the final layered die image, isn't the detail and dimension LOVELY?
Step 6 - Use a hot glue gun to adhere trim to outside edges of painted papier-mâché
ornament base.
Step 7 - Adhere the layered Contemporary Hearts Pendant die cut to the painted papier-mâché
ornament using 3-D Foam Squares or foam tape. Embellish with gems to complete
your project!
And here is the framed art project I created to accompany my Victorian Christmas Ornament! :)
Thanks so much for hopping along with us and I hope
you enjoy my project & the rest of the projects the team has in store for
you!
I just wanted to take a moment to thank each of you for all of your lovely comments, blessings, prayers and best wishes over the last few weeks. Especially during this past week while I was in labor and delivering our sweet newest blessing Lilyanne Kathryn. Lily Kate is doing GREAT and so am I. Aside from everything just needing to have some time to get back to "normal" (whatever that now may be) the healing process is going along great. :) Thank you for all of your kindnesses and just be assured I cherished each and every one! So from the bottom of my heart, and the rest of the family too - THANK YOU... a thousand times, THANK YOU!
