Cute Mini Album

Hi,
 My today's vlog & bog is a mini album making. I decided to make this for my friend who carries pictures of her kids all the time inside her bag. This mini Album will fit inside a medium-sized purse. This album has got some pockets also for journaling or for keeping some photo tags . The total making time is less than one hour.

 I used one sheet scrapbook paper 12 by 12 inches to make the album, some cut pieces were used to decorate the album. I added a belly band also for the album.

Album scheme is given below

Score the paper at 3  1/4, 3  1/2, 6  3/4, 7, 10  1/4  & 10  3/4 inches on oneside

Rotate the paper 90 degrees And score at 4 & 8 inches

Watercoloring & freezer paper masking to make a Valentine's day card

Hi,
My vlog & blog for today is a watercolour card that I made using a masking technique. I did not use artist masking fluid, but I used something from the kitchen. Freezer paper is the masking medium today. It was not an artist or craft supply. It is used to wrap and keep meat in a refrigerator ( fridge ). One side of the paper is coated with plastic like substance. Place the shiny plastic coated surface facing the watercolour paper. Then heat is applied using an iron box. The plastic coating on the freezer paper starts to melt and it gets adhered to the watercolour paper. That's how it works. Now its time to paint watercolour the paper.
I used 3 patterns for painting. All the three patterns are cut using Cricut electronic cutter.
once the painting is dried complete, remove the freezer paper to reveal the masked pattern.

Watch the video for the demo


Supplies used are
Strathmore watercolour paper
Sakura Koi watercolour 24 set paint
Royal & Langnickel Zen round brush no 14
reynolds freezer paper

Valentines Day card using watercolor & freezer paper masking

Hi,
I recently watched someone making a T-shirt using freezer paper masking.
Freezer paper is used to wrap meat. It has a shiny surface ( plastic coated) & a regular surface. When pressed with an iron box the plastic coating melts and it will adhere to the surface to be worked on. I incorporated the same technique to make a card for Valentines craft series. I enjoyed making them.
The iron box temp is set to medium heat setting. Strathmore watercolour paper is used. I used a kitchen freezer paper, nowadays freezer paper is available as craft freezer paper as well. The kitchen freezer paper comes in a big roll, while the other comes in sheets.

Watch the video for the making process



Supplies used are
Strathmore watercolour paper
Sakura Koi watercolour 24 pan set
Watercolor brush round no14
Freezer paper
