Tuesday Tip – Hetty Hall

Posted on May 21, 2013 by HettyH

A few weeks ago I shared with you all my idea of making some quick and simple cards. Today I though we could make a quick and easy layout?

For this layout I used the Summer Breeze collection. On the ‘Sunny’ paper you will find some cute little squares. I trimmed off 6 of them and layered them around my 6″ x 4″ photo. I then added a few rub ons, my title using a combination of sticker alpha’s of the matching sticker sheet and a word out the matching collectables. I also added some flowers from the collectables which I adhered using pop dots, put on a bit of bling and I was done. This layout literally only took 10 minutes to make.

Kaisercraft Materials Used: Summer Breeze Collection: Grow (P1167), Sunny (P1171), Collectables (CT757), Sticker Sheet (SS185), Rub Ons – Girls (RB916), Sparklets – Crystal (RS408), Rhinestones – Silver (SB700).

Of course you could have a little play and use a smaller photo, more squares or arrange the squares differently. Use a different paper collection and cut out some squares yourself, you can make them any size you like to suit your layout or if you have a punch just punch some out, even easier

So there you have a quick and simple layout that looks cute also. I hope you enjoyed today’s tip.

Till next time!

Hugs

Altered 6 Drawer Tall Unit by Trudi Harrison

Kaisercraft Materials Used: On this Day – P1151 First Dance, P1153 I Do, P1154 Proposal On This Day – PP901 Paper Pad, CT755 Collectables; TM806 Metal Label Pulls – Brass, Paper Blooms – F662 Coral & F630 Iceberg, Mini Paper Blooms F645 Honey, SB2238 6 Drawer Tall Unit

Other: Mini Glass Bottles, Metal Album Closure, Stain – Metallic Bronze & Walnut Stain, Twine, PVA, Modge Podge, Foam Tape, Hot Glue, Gel Glue

Trudi shares some Tips for assembling:

Pre Assemble first so you know how all the pieces fit together. Paint, ink, stain or cover any pieces with patterned papers that are going to be difficult to do once the unit has been assembled. I used PVA glue for constructing the MDF pieces and assembling the drawers – this dries clear with a nice strong bond. Modge Podge was applied with a foam brush for the surfaces where patterned papers were attached. Modge Podge can also be applied over the top as a protective sealant. When dry, use a file/emery board to lightly sand the edges. You may also like to add some ink to the edges to add a little definition and to also camouflage the white edge created from the sanding.
