Word Art Wednesday Guest Spot for Jan. 20th.

          I am so grateful to be guest designing with Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog this week. 

I made this project using this verse given as a free digi on their blog. I hope you enjoy the project and verse.
 Using the Teresa Collins Document papers, I made this cute little mini album using a Zutter Bind-it-All with O-wires. I added some red cardstock that I dry embossed to add some texture and make ready for photos to me added. It came together rather quickly. Next, I chose a Stampendous House Mouse image of the two loving mice with their Entwined Tails, which is the name of image. I colored them in Copic Sketch markers: E00, E11, E33, E35, E39, C1,C3. The circle hearts die was given to me as a gift from my son and I am unaware of which company is from. The larger circle is from Spellbinders Beaded Circle die. 

     I added a flip hinge and viola' it opens to reveal the verse. I added stop with the bow that holds the top layer shut and yet can be easily opened. The bow is May Arts natural twine that I colored with my Copic R29 marker. 

This week is sponsored by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps-Winner has choice of either TWO stamp sets or One stamp set and one die. Good luck and can't wait to see what you make!

                                                  Creek Bank Creations Clear Foam Tape
Using stickers I already had, I put powder on the sticker side to De-stick them first. I used another die to cut out a small heart to make into a shaker. Now, the best new product I have found is this CBC Clear Foam Tape that has sticky on both sides and is easier than others to wrap around a hard shape like the heart. It made this so much easier!!! And when you look from the front side it does not show anything since it is clear.
The next shaker was even easier than that due to the rectangle shape! The frame to cover was a Pretty Pink Posh die cut out of white cardstock.

                                                               Glittered Scroll Heart

For the glittered Scroll Heart: First take a piece of copy paper of cardstock that is thin, and adhere it to the 6 inch roll of adhesive as seen here:

After cutting it from the roll, and flip it over and stick the other paper sidedown. She called it a "Paper sandwich". Here's her video  Next, I cut a piece of pink paper and adhered to the roll of Super Sticky tape and cut it away. No need to add more tape to this one since it will be on top.
I die cut the larger heart out of the "paper sandwich". Note:  I used my Platinum 6 and had no problem die cutting through the paper sandwich! But of course, use washi tape of painter's tape to hold it in place as seen here.

After die cutting the white heart out, take one side of the adhesive off one side.  Using Un-Du Adhesive Remover, put some of the liquid onto the adhesive and then take the pink scroll heart die cut piece and add it to it. This is the trick so that you can move the pink heart around till it is in place and then you have it down correctly. Pretty cool, right!?
Adding the Pixie dust (very fine glitter) is easy with the CBC Puffer! (See pic above) Before starting this,  add the Pixie dust to the inside of the Pixie Puffer. Now you are ready. I used a coffee filter or you can do it right into your trash can for less clean up!!! Wait for the Un-du to dry and the adhesive regains the stickiness. Now put the pink heart sandwiched to the adhesive onto a coffee filter, and "PUFF" the dust once or twice. Not much is needed. Using your finger moving across the glitter to fill it in to every crevice and insure that the glitter is all adhered. Viola'!!! That's it! So easy when you have the right tools! Now  I am literally glittering everything!!!! Love all the ways I can use this with glitter!!
