Seaside Junk Journal Page

                  


                       



Today I was thinking about being at the beach. I suppose my thoughts wandered to the beach because we all have been doing the stay-at-home virus thing. So I decided to turn those thoughts into an altered book layout.

The background is a simple tacky glue over acrylic paint. It makes a leathery smooth feel to the paper.

Supplies

Medium flat paintbrush
Wide flat paintbrush
White craft glue
Tacky white craft glue
Acrylic paint
White Neuvo drops.
Small shells and pieces
Half gems
Beach embellishments


  1. Glue two pages together on both sides. Use white craft glue. Apply evenly with an old credit card or gift card. Smooth the pages with the heal of your hand. 
  2. Allow drying time.
  3. With a medium flat brush, apply a coat of acrylic paint. Allow to dry.
  4. Attach an even coating of tacky glue with a wide brush. 
  5. Allow drying time.
  6. I drew my netting with white Nuvo drops.
  7. Allow the Nuvo drops to dry.
  8. Glue on very small shells with tacky glue.
  9. Glue tiny shell pieces with tacky glue.
  10. Allow these to dry.
  11. Glue on the half gems in no specific pattern with the tacky glue.
  12. Add some beach embellishments with white craft glue!
  • Make sure that you use gesso to prime and strengthen your page. The number of times to apply a coat of gesso depends on the thickness of the paper as well as the thickness of the gesso
  • When gluing heavier items like shells, make sure to use a good quality tacky glue. Allow some time for the pieces to dry on the page.



Hope this layout gives you some inspiration. Happy Crafting!
Linda

Beyond Basic Backgrounds

Today we are exploring back grounds for greeting cards using stamps and coordinating dies with embossing powders to create a totally different look. Welcome to another community tutorial as I take my journey through the Altenew Educator Class. I have to say that I love the soft look of these greeting cards.  For this technique you will need a stamp set with the coordinating dies. You will actually create a stencil using the dies for the image that you are using on your background. To create this stencil, you will want to use a heavy white cardstock, at least 90 Lbs. or more. That way, you will be able to use the stencil again. You also will want to make the stencil a bit larger than the actual card base. Overlapping will give you the best results. Creating The Stencil Supplies White cardstock at least 90 lbs. in weight Coordinating die for the stamp you are using. Low tack tape Die cutting machine and plates. Cut the piece of cardstock slightly bigger than the card base you will be...

What It Takes To Create An Advanced Ink Layering Technique

Today we are sharing with you some advanced ideas and techniques in ink layering. We are also sharing some additional ideas to help you take your greeting cards to the next level. We are featuring a new tutorial as part of my Level Three accreditation in the AECP (Altenew Educator Certification Program). This is a program that I have been working through for some time. My goal has been to be able to learn and share with you the best ideas and techniques to help you be the best paper crafter you can be.  There are actually 5 levels of layering classes in this program. The project that I am focusing on is a more intricate stamp set called. Climbing Clematis.  There are actually 6 layers to the main flowers and several layers to each of the coordinating flowers.

Create Metallic Stripped Card-Everything You Need To Know

  Have you ever considered using metallic embossing powders in an entirely different way to create a custom card that will long be treasured by the recipient of this wonderful art form? I was super impressed by this technique in a recent class that I took at Altenew on Progressive Card Making. I have always enjoyed using embossing powders. Using them has been a passion of mine. As you see the powder heat up, and the magic happen, it brings joy to your papercrafts. I made three thinking of you cards and one thanks card. But honestly, you could use any large sentiment die that you have for this technique.   One Note Before We Get Started It is often said that "quality matters!" In this particular technique, it actually does! I tried different metallic embossing powders from different sources. and the one that worked the best was from Altenew. I did get better results with the antique metallic powders than I did from others in my stash, The closest to quality was the Wow embossi...
