Paper Clay Christmas Decorations

BannerFans.com

I love to give presents I've made myself and this year is no different. Here's one present I made for my girlfriend which she seemed to like alot. It's hand made christmas tree ornaments.





These decorations were made using my paper clay receipe. I used chocolate moulds to create the shapes and then purchased the wire hangers and attached the painted paper clay decorations to the wire hangers and added the beading to make them more interesting.he
The green star has been created using opals embossing powders. I melted the powders and then used a cookie cutter to create the shape. When the liquid cooled I separated out the shape.

Sorry for not outlining this better for everyone. All I've done is take the air dry clay and push it into some chocolate moulds (which I sprayed with canola oil). I gently removed them from the mould and stuck a pin through the top then placed them back in the mould. I then left them to dry for 24hrs. When I removed them from the mould I then left them to dry fr another 24hrs just to be certain the clay had cured. I then painted them. After painting I threaded fishing line through the hole, added some beading an then attached them to these cool little wire hangers I found at the $2 shop ($2 for 20). I thought they added a more professional look to my finished product.

Cardstock only Layouts

-

After looking at the cost of a layout I'm going to challenge myself to do some cardstock only layouts (not for my wedding though). Do you think you could manage it? Well I'm not sure but I'm gonna give it a go. But it does get a little ridiculous the costs, con't you think? So I'm going to challenge myself to do a layout using cardstock and patterned paper only! Of course not having a cricuit or sizzix or anything this will mean hand cutting my title....... painstaking... BUT I think it'll be a challenge artistically too. These layouts were done by Deb of Toowoomba and you can see how she's used her paper and cardstock to acentuate her photo's theme.... I especially love the dolphin! When I went to a scrapbook evening recently one of the ladies did a fabulous layout using paper piecing. She made Dora the Explorer layous and her 'dora' was fantastic. I don't think I have that much patience but punching and tearing are right up my alley. Bu...

Coffee Mugs are Finished

Here are the digi scrapped coffee mugs I told you about a few posts back. They're back from the "printer". These were really easy to do. I first created my document that I was digi scrapping and I made the size of the document 4" x 6'" (a standard photo). I then decorated that page using my digital scrapbooking papers and embellishments and finally added the photos. I then went to my local photo lab and uploaded these images to their software and chose to have them printed on mugs. (I chose the stretch option which stretches the image around the mug. So then I had to resize the image to get all my decorations on the mug). And here they are! It only took them a week to print them! So if you're thinking of doing this for a christmas present I think you may just get it back in time...... but check with your photo lab to make sure they could get it back to you before Christmas. I'm happy with the result..... hope the recipients will be too?

Digiscrap a PhotoBook when on special!

Have you ever wondered what to do with all that beautiful digitally scrapbooked work? Well you could print a photo book. I save all my pages up and then when there's a special on (Like the recent $9.95 for a 19 page book at Big W) I go in and get them printed. This way I have a hard copy of my work to show people and I get the pages printed very cheaply... that's around 52 cents per page. Just remember though the specials are more commonly done for the smaller books 8 x 8 etc. So when doing your layouts keep that in mind.
