'Stitch Imagery' Charm Bracelet

By Kelli Nina Perkins
The content of this blog post is courtesy of the Interweave’s eNewsletter - Cloth Paper Scissors Embellishments

These stitched-image charms are a lovely showcase for your journal art and doodles. Take some favorite images and sketch them out on watercolor paper. For this bracelet, I created some small painted cupcakes, but you can cut up a piece of abstract art or even reduce photos to create your charms.

Materials:

• Small paintings or photos
• Sewing machine
• Scanner
• Inkjet-ready muslin or cotton
• Inkjet printer
• Fiberfill
• Embroidery floss/needle
• Eyelets
• Jump rings
• Bracelet

Optional:

• Buttons
• Felt balls

Directions:

1. Create 6 or more small images or photos. You can reduce them after scanning, so make them a workable size, but not too large. I drew some cupcake outlines in permanent marker, glued on some book text, then painted them with watercolors.
   
   
2. Stitch around the paper images with a free-motion foot and black thread to create a sketched look.
   
   
3. Scan the images into your computer and reduce them. Each charm should measure about 1", including a border for sewing.
   
   
4. Print the images on a sheet of inkjet-ready muslin and allow them to dry. Cut out the charms.
   
   
5. Stitch around 3 sides with a sewing machine, leaving a 1/8" border. Stuff each charm with fiberfill and finish the final edge.
   
   
6. Edge each charm with colorful embroidery floss, using a blanket stitch.
   
   
7. Punch a hole in the corner of each charm and add a small eyelet.
   
   
8. Attach the charms to your bracelet with jump rings, adding buttons, felt bobbles, or other charms.

Father's Day Coupon Book by Eileen

Are you at a loss when it comes to selecting a gift for the dads in your life? A coupon book is a fast and easy idea, plus it's a gift that can be enjoyed more than once.

Cut a piece of cardstock to 11x3" and fold in half to make a long thin book.

Decorate it with a masculine feel. I stamped the front with vintage script, and dry brushed some white paint over top. I used images from PID collage sheet #341, and the letters are stickers I had in my stash.

Then use your computer to print up some coupons appropriate for the dad who is getting them. They can be for a car wash, the chance to choose any action flick for movie night, the dessert of his choice, a weekend without chores. Be creative!

Insert the coupons in the book, put it in an evelope and you have a great gift....and you didn't even have to go shopping.

Kewpie at The Seaside Soiree!

The Weekly Challenge for Paper Imagery for June 15th was the BEACH or SEA theme.I choose to once again do something with my last kewpie image from Paper Imagery Designs aka PID, Kewpie collage sheet. I have always loved and will always the sweet and enchanting faces of the Kewpie Doll.
I decided to make a theater atc called: Kewpie at The Seaside Soiree!

Materials:
-ATC chipboard slabs 2.5 by 3.5 (PID)
-Kewpie collage sheet # 246 (PID)
-Dresden trim(light blue German foil scrap, serrated border) (PID)
-Card stock scrap for layering Kewpie image
-Vintage book page (for background)
-Model magic-white
-Pearls (faux crafty kind)
-Brass or gold craft charm
-Lace trim, light green color
-Velvet trim, light blue
-Floral wire, white
-Stickles, Tiara color (PID)
-Glitter, metallic orange
-Acrylic paints: light aqua and antique metallic gold (Plaid)
-Rhinestone strand or mini rhinestones
-Glue: tacky glue, gel medium, hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
-Tools: Scissors, wire pliers

Directions:
1. Brush a coat of gel medium onto the chipboard and layer a book page onto it, cut to fit. Paint thick stripes onto the background w/light aqua.
2. Layer kewpie image onto card stock scrap w/gel medium, let dry, cut out and attach to center of atc w/hot glue.
3. Draw a mermaid shape onto the atc attaching at kewpie's waste, cover fin w/gel medium and fill in with model magic, while fresh attach pearls by pushing in pearls into it. For wand, thread floral wire w/pearls, attach to atc. Now attach rhinestones to kewpie's waste using hot glue.
4. Make an arch out of white floral wire, thread 2 pearls onto it, hot glue to top sides of atc, make a banner out of the end of a book page, hot glue to top of arch.
5. Hot glue dresden trim to bottom of atc, hot glue lace to top of atc, then hot glue velvet ribbon on top of lace.
6. Push a small amount of model magic into a brass charm, pop out, hot glue to middle of lace at top of atc, paint with antique metallic gold paint, sprinkle orange/gold glitter over it while still wet.
7. Glitter the sides of the atc, the kewpies head, the banner and add dots to kewpie and a "S" to banner w/tiara stickles.

Options:
-If you don't have model magic, use paper clay.
-Replace clay charm with a brass charm instead.
-Use a crystal bead for the top of the floral wire arch, I used an old barrett piece for that.

Otherwise have some fun and make an underwater adventure of your own!
xo!

Dad Hatter's Tea Hat!

Dad Hatter’s Tea Hat!
For the June Challenge, I decided to create a Father's Day Hat!
Let’s all salute fathers far and wide with love, joy and perhaps a Dad Hatter’s Hat!
This hat is a fun take on the Mad Hatter’s own Green Tea Hat.


Materials:
-Foam, paper or old top hat
-Vintage wallpaper, wrapping paper or fabric
-Marshall collage sheet #461 (Paper Imagery Designs)
-Pre-cut paper flowers (Paper Imagery Designs)
-Chip board slab 10 x (Paper Imagery Designs)
-Chip board letters ( 2 Ds, and 1 A to spell DAD)
-Pearl top straight pin
-Wire ribbon 24 inches
-Glue; hot glue gun, hot glue sticks, gel medium,
-Paintbrush
-Scissors

Directions:
1. Cut out four of images from the Marshall collage sheet, layer onto the chip board using a regular glue stick, cut out, set aside.
2. With a paint brush, coat the top of the top hat of your choice with gel medium, cover with wallpaper, wrapping paper or fabric.
3. Cut 24 inches of wire ribbon and wrap around the base of the top hat, tie a bow, secure in place using hot glue.
4. Insert the chipboard layered pictures inside the ribbon.
5. Layer 3 pre-cut paper flowers, hot glue each layer, attach smaller Marshall image to center of flower using pearl top straight pin and attach to the bow center.
6. Glitter 3 chipboard letters, let dry then hot glue around the flower.

Tips/Tricks:
-Try bordering the top hat using Dresden Trims (Paper Imagery Designs)
-Cover the whole hat with sheet music or book pages.
-Cover the hat with clock parts (Paper Imagery Designs), tie rustic wire around base and attach a variety of manila tags from which are layered with words and Paper Imagery Designs images.
-Turn into a Princess style hat, painting the hat baby pink, embellishing with images from the Lila Collage Sheet #110 (Paper Imagery Designs), rhinestones, pink flower and tons of sweet glitter.

Grandchildren are such a wonderful and joyful thing. And yet, they have their moments!

This little Princess is trying to decide what to do next....but she does have Promise of better days of behavior.

Been with my little lovelies today.....hence....this little ATC.

Sorry....but this is the way my day went. Love them, love to see them go home to Mom and Dad. But, I miss them already!!!

This weeks Nest Challenge

This week Angie picked one of my favorite subjects for the weekly challenge on the PID yahoo group. Nest......I love using bird nests and bird images in my art. Here is a 6 x 6 piece I did using two sheets available at the Paper Imagery Designs website.
The large image of the bird is from the Bird Cabinet Card Sheet # 177 and the nest image is sheet # 434 Birds Nest.
No matter what size art work you enjoy making you can find an image at the PID site.
Below is an atc I also made for the challenge.The little darling baby is Serena #395..

Stencil Background Technique by Eileen Bellomo

No, this is not your granny's stencil art! So go grab one of those plastic stencils you thought you'd never use again and try this quick and easy (and very cool) background technique.

Here is what you'll need:

plastic stencil

one or two dye ink pads

water mister

cardstock

Swipe the ink pads directly over the stencil. If you're using two colors, swipe the lighter one first.

Spray the entire stencil with water from your mister.

Press the cardstock onto the the wet stencil. Apply even pressure but don't smoosh the paper around.

The result is a very soft water-color looking background for your art. Let it dry, cut it to the desired size and make some art.

That's what I did, using the lovely Lila, PID collage sheet 110, and some simple embellishments.

The effect you get with this technique depends on many things. The stencil you use, of course, but also the ink color and the amount of water. Spray less water for deeper tones, more for a more subtle look. I used two colors in the same family, but two complementary colors will give a totally different look. This piece was done on smooth cardstock. Try using textured paper or watercolor paper and see what happens.

This is easy and fun, so experiment a little and see what you come up with!

Father's Day Gift Ideas from Eileen Bellomo

Bolo-Style Tie for Father’s Day


Supplies:
Bamboo tile
Waxed cord (about 30”)
PID Collage Images – sheets #216, #339
Glossy Accents (Ranger)
Two seed beads, two decorative beads (from your stash)

Directions:

Find a masculine image to cover the bamboo tile. I like the map on collage sheet #339 and the doorknob/keyhole on collage sheet # 216.

Using the bamboo tile as a template, trace around the image and cut it out.

Glue the image onto the bamboo tile using Glossy Accents, making sure the edges are well adhered.

Cover the image with a layer of Glossy Accents. I just squeeze a little blob of it out and smooth it over the entire image with a finger tip.

When dry, assemble into a bolo tie:

Thread one end of the cord through both holes on one side of the tile and the other end through the holes on the other side.

Find seed beads that fit on your cord but aren't loose. These beads will allow the wearer to adjust the tile as desired. Put one on each side of the cord and after making sure there will be room for the tie to fit over the head, knot under each seed bead.

Then add your decorative beads and knot again.

To wear, put the tie over the head and move the tile to the desired position. Push the seed beads up to just below the tile.

Variation: You can wrap foil tape around the edges of the tile for a metallic look, but I like that my version is so fast and easy.

Fast and Fun Bottle Cap Charms (Tutorial)

Supplies you'll need....

Bottlecap (new/uncrimped)
Rubber Mallet
Thin chipboard (can also be recycled cereal/food box)
1" Circle Punch (optional...but most helpful)..or circle Template
Scissors
Angie's Nest Paper Imagery Design Collage Sheet #628 (or other images you like)
Glue (I used Fabri-Tac)
Glue Stick (HEE HEE I ordered my sheet #628 as a sticker sheet)
Black Sharpie (optional)
Awl
JumpRing
Packing Tape Or Diamond Glaze, etc.

Start with a new uncrimped bottlecap. There are many places on the internet that sell them.
Bang the bottle cap a few times on each side with the rubber mallet (you can also use a regular hammer...but made scuff your bottle cap) on a hard surface. I've heard of some people doing this on concrete but I find that a cutting mat or block of wood works just fine. This will flattened the bottlecap and cause the edges to curl under.

Poke a hole with an awl...(or you may use a nail).

Use the hole punch to punch out your image and a chipboard circle.

Glue circle image on top of the chipboard circle. Apply clear packing tape to the top of the image and smooth. Trim the packing tape.

Edge the circle image with a black sharpie for nice finished edges. With a strong glue (fabri-Tac, all purpose white glue, etc), glue the image into the bottle cap.

Add a Jumpring. Your charm is now ready to hang anywhere.

A second option it to NOT cover your image in packing tape...but add a clear glossy layer of Diamond Glaze (or similar clear demensional sealer/glaze)

With a pin you can pop any bubbles and spread the glaze to the edges. Set aside to dry until clear. The add your jumpring.

Here are two necklaces I made with my finish charms. The first will go to my PID Mingle Partner and the second could be yours....

If you'd like to win this necklace (one on the white background) just leave a comment and include the words "Pick Me" in your comment. I will draw a winner from the comments on June 15th. Please be sure you leave a way for me to contact you.

****WINNER HAS BEEN DRAWN!! Thanks to everyone that left comments!!****
