Project of the week- Fall fun Stamped Rosettes Tutorial

.Hi friends and Happy Halloween! Deonna here, i just love fall and all of the beautiful leaves and my favorite Holiday "Halloween". I thought that i'd show you how to make an embellishment today- Fall fun Stamped Rosettes. I was thinking about using these on some table embellishments for Thanksgiving  You can glue paper straws to them and put them in a vase for decoration. I like to add paperclips to the back and use them for cards, scrapbook pages, papercraft projects.
Use your imagination. Lets get started.

Supplies that i used include:

Stamps- Repeat Impressions leaves-3312-E, Maple Leaf, 3314-D, Birch Leaf, 3313-E, Oak Leaf,
Coloring media- (I used Copic Markers) 
Ink pad ( I used Stampin'up Chocolate chip) 
White Cardstock to stamp on
 Paper trimmer
 Decorative paper cut to 12" x 1 1/4"
 Border punch
 Score Board 
 1 1/4" Circle punch 
Small piece of any color cardstock to punch circles 
Scissors
 Hot glue gun
 Eyelash trim and Raffia. 

1. Stamp the leaf images using your ink pad, Color as desired and Fussy cut each of them out.



2.  Cut your decorative paper using your paper trimmer to 12" x 1 1/4".


3.  Using your border punch (starting in the center of your paper) punch along each side of your strip of paper.



4. Place the 12" flat side of your strip of paper on your score board at the top and score 1/2" line across the whole strip.



5. Fold the score lines in a back and forth motion completely down the strip.


6.  Hot glue both of the ends of your scored strip of paper together.



7. Using your Circle punch and black cardstock, punch a circle.




8. Create your Rosette by pushing down the flat edge of your paper to the center.  This is a little tricky. Adhere the circle that you punched to the back side of your Rosette using hot glue.




9. Your Rosette is now ready to be decorated. I added some orange eyelash trim and folded some raffia in Red and Green. I Hot glued each of them down where desired.






10. Place your Stamped leaves to the top of your Rosette by using the hot glue. You've now completed your decorative rosette.

Handmade Christmas Embellishments

Hi everyone! I had to go to the doctor again today because i was having so much lung pain. Well i found out that i have Pleurisy. It is so incredibly painful.  I'm trying to put my mind on other things but it's really hard. I made these during the week so i that today, i  would share some easy and Quick Christmas Embellishments that i've made for cards, scrapbook pages, junk journals or what ever you want to use them for. I just used a Stampin'up scalloped circle punch for the base and a 1 1/4" circle for the inside.  I decorated each with misc... embellishments like stickers, jewels, bows, cut outs, Pearls in a bottle and sentiments from a Tim Holtz word pad.

My Halloween junk journal

Sorry that i've missed posting the past couple of days, but once again i have pneumonia.  I tell you every time that i get Bronchitis it ends up worse.  Sometimes i just feel that i can't win for losing. This is the first time that i've actually had a lung hurt in my back. I can hear the crackles when i breath. I'm on the mend. I hope! Oh well, enough complaining.
Today, i'm going to share a junk journal that has been in progress for weeks.Of course, it is Halloween themed.  I just love Halloween!

The Cover i covered with tissue paper and painted it Black. I then added some rub and buff to the the mesh to the front cover. I added a black flower from some trim that i had in my stash. I found this awesome little skeleton at the Dollar tree and hot glued some mesh down and then placed him on top.
 On the binding of the book i handmade a charm to hang down the side. The back cover is all covered in tissue paper and black paint like the front.  My closure is a Tim Holtz knob and used a hairband.

On the inside of the book,i tried something new to me by binding the book together separately
 So in turn, you can pull out the entire inside guts and replace them when you have used the entire book up.  I also handmade a booklet which will slide out on the inside cover. The book is bound together using Kraft Tex.

This was just so much fun to make. It has a total of 3 signatures. There was no way to take photo's of the whole album so i've just chosen some photo's.  A lot of the  papers came from The Echo Park Hollingsworth stack that i believe i bought last year and some Graphic 45. The ephemera came  from Vectoria Designs  on etsy and the printable Halloween pages came from Tsunamirose printable Journal kit called Witches Brew.
 I used misc... clear Stamps from Art C, Impression Obsession, Tim Holtz and Recollections.
