LEGO Scrapbook Pages






Double layout to try and capture the fun we had visiting the Lego store in London.  Made the lego bricks from 2 x2 cm and 3 x 2 cm pieces of primary coloured card with 1/4" punched circles glued on top.  Used craft foam in matching colours to raise some of the bricks to give dimension.  This is a simple idea but I think it looks quite effective. I ended up gluing on two layers of dots to give better definition as one dot on its own looked a bit flat.

Twist and pop card

Twist and Pop Card  Hunkydory Paws for Thought It is worth doing a practice card so you can get the folds and construction right before making a card with your best stash. There are some great youtube clips showing how to make this card.  There are several ways to make the pop and fold mechanism.  I found this the easiest for me - but you may find another method  suits you better.  I adjusted the size of the pop and fold to accommodate the little cat panels from the hunkydory paws for thought cat and kittens luxury card kit. These are my instructions and sizes: Start with a 7" square card          Matt both sides of the inside of the card with patterned paper.                                  To make the pop and fold mechanism cut two pieces of card 10" x 3.5".  This works best with a lighter weight card. ...

Expecto patronum shadow box

                                 Harry Potter Expecto Patronum Shadow Box Picture I have recently bought the sizzix forest frame die and the doe reminded me of Snapes patronus guiding Harry to the sword of Gryffindor in the woods.   I used it in a shadow box and then also made a similar shadow box using Harry's stags patronus instead of the doe.  To make the shadow boxes you need the following: 12 X 12 paper or thin card to make the frame.  Pearlescent gold card Pearlescent white card Fun foam Backing paper  Distress Ink Sizzix thinlits 661744 Forest frame die Tree trunk die Tattered lace Alphabet die Tattered lace Stag Die Hunkydory Owl Die Wand die Needle and thread die docrafts Making the shadow box  I  strongly  recommend that you make up one of the shadow boxes as a practice run  first. It is a bit f...

December ATC swap

Image
  December 23 ATC swap.  Theme Christmas Music / Songs.   No tutorial this month as forgot to take photos and these were quite simple to make.  Base of ATC cards (3.5" x 2.5") are cut from green card.   Cut some music paper from an old 6 x 6 vintage Christmas pad just slightly smaller than the ATC.   Distressed the edges and then went around the edges with distress ink before gluing onto the ATC.    Layered a thin hessian ribbon, green cheesecloth and a strip of red card across the ATC.   Die cut musical instruments from gold card and musical notes from black card.  Glued these on as shown.  Decorated with die cut Holly leaves, red snowflakes and pearl berries. Also made a mini shadow box card to show off one of the ATCs.
