Miniature Cabinets

These little cabinets measure 9 cm x 10 cm. This is the outer cover and was made for a birthday present for a friend.

And this is the inside housing miniature items made from beads, findings, wires, leather, 3d foam and charms.

Close up of the miniatures. The case and shelves are made from chipboard.

This is another one I made again for a friends birthday. Close up of the miniatures.

This is the cover, again it measures 9cm x 10 cm.

And this is it open. It's quite sturdy and free standing.

I hope they like them as they were fun to make.

To see how to make them check out this YouTube video from Jennings644, she makes some fabulous things.

Down in the Dungeon

My LP image has been sent to the dungeons!! Background was created using the brick mask with grunge paste pushed through it. Coloured with French roast fresco paint and hi-lighted with nougat. I bought another window frame die by memory box which is slightly bigger than the tonic one and also has a sill.  I coloured the LP image with distress marker pens and a water brush.

You will also see another one of my mini metal handles from the MDF Man and the set of dungeon keys hung up with the Prima junkyard findings.

Over at Out of a Hat Creations this week, they have a theme of 'you hold the key', in this instance, the dungeon keys!!!

Huge Tag

I coloured the white tag in antique linen distress stain, I blended in walnut stain and brushed corduroy distress inks.  I stamped the map background in black archival ink.  I ran a piece of black card through the cuttlebug clockworks embossing folder, painted it with black acrylic and used rub n buff in various colours over the top to bring out the embossing.  I stamped the tickets onto a vintage photo distress stained background, cut them out and attached them with a mini clipboard clip.  (I think this may have to be toned down a bit!!)  I stamped the main image in pitch black adirondack ink onto cream card.  I used brushed corduroy distress ink to slightly tinge the background, I used a paper distresser and edged in black soot.  I attached it using 2 brads.  The other end is intertwined with a piece of fabric held on with a couple of mini safety pins.  Finally I used a paper distresser on the edges of the tag and inked with black soot.  The stamps are IndigoBlu.

Simon Says Torn and Tattered

This make is for Kate.  Kate is colourblind and thinks I use pink when in fact it's red or a combination of reds.  So Kate, this one is especially for you.  Yes, it is PINK!!!  I used pink sherbert, raspberry and tattered rose inks to stamp on the blue card and denim to stamp on the PINK card.  I tore the pieces of card out and edged with faded blue and spun sugar distress stains.  The background card started off white and that was coloured with weathered wood, spun sugar and antique linen distress stains.  It was stamped with faded jeans stain.  All images are from stampers anonymous plates.  I scrunched the PINK card, swooshed the inks over it and then ironed it flat ready to stamp on. 

This week Simon Says Stamp are asking for distressed / torn edges.

Things with Wings

This week over on Dragons Dream Tag It On, the theme is wings, so I couldn't resist as wings is one of my favourites.  I also got my new steampunk stamp this morning, so of course had to test it out.  The two guys are cut from part of a paperartsy stamp.

Tag Book

I used the super scallop crescent tag die by sizzix to cut the tags from chipboard.  I used various dabbers, along with sequin waste to create the front cover.  The words are computer generated using blueberry font.

The inside pages were coloured with various adirondack colour wash sprays.  I stamped and embossed anything I could find with numbers on it.  I coloured them using various mediums.

Once completed I bound the pages with my BIA machine and added a hitch fastener with a piece of hemp to the front cover so the book could be fastened closed.

Findings Hanging

I created the frame using strips of chipboard.  I coloured them in bottle, juniper, lake mist and black acrylic dabbers.  The background is made up of TH papers from the retro grunge stack.  Some were stamped and findings were added to all the sections.   Glossy accents were used to hi-light the 'D' and a piece of ribbon was added to hang.
