Hi everyone, it's Liesbeth here with you for a 'With 3 Things' challenge post.
This feature on the PaperArtsy Blog is where 3 bloggers are sent 3 items in the post. Typically we will receive a stamp, a stencil and a couple of Fresco Paints, and in 2025, everyone will receive identical products.
We have no clue what PaperArtsy HQ is going to send, the whole idea of this challenge is to do something crafty in our personal style with these 3 items. We are allowed to bring other PA products into the mix if we feel it is necessary.
So let's take a look at what I received from PA HQ ...
It was so exiting again to unpack the pacage! The three things are lovely and really perfect together, and ideas popped up immediately. I have made a small flowery book, let's take a closer look.
The booklet has pockets that fit a small tag. This is how I made it:
Using a sponge and an old credit card, I applied the two beautiful colours of PaperArtsy Fresco Finish paint Sunshine and Flamingo onto an A4 PaperArtsy Smoothy stamping card (regular, SCA4) and on a smaller piece of the Smoothy heavy cardstock (SCA4H) for the cover. I didn't apply it too neatly... because that's not me. :-)
I mixed a tiny drop of PaperArtsy Fresco paint Little Black Dress with the pink Flamingo and used a sponge and the JoFy stencil (PS086) to apply it here and there onto both pieces of cardstock. With a small round blending tool I also made dots with both Flamingo and Sunshine.
Using a waterproof ink (I used Tsukineko StazOn jet black) I stamped the two flowers of the PaperArtsy stamp set (JoFy76), spread all over the surface.
Now it becomes a book: I folded the A4 in 8 parts and cut the middle of the centre score line as shown. I fold the book to a ,zine'. Hope this is clear.. The small heavy card will be the cover, I cut it a bit bigger than the book, and scored a 3 millimeters spine. I didn't throw away the left-overs.
I sponged the edges of the pages and the cover with black ink and glued the book into the cover, only at the edges as you can see on the picture..
Time for decorating the booklet! Using waterproof ink, I stamped the several JoFy76 stamps onto regular Smoothy cardstock. Now I have used every stamp of the set, they are so nice! I coloured them with (very) watered down PaperArtsy Fresco paints Sunshine and Flamingo.
I cut the stamped images out, sometimes the entire stamp, but also only parts. I decorated every page with them, trying to create nice compositions for every page or spread.
Out of the left-overs I made a tag, it fits in one of the pockets of the booklet. I finished the piece with white gel pen, black fineliner, some ribbon and three glass beads. And of course a tiny bit of glitter glue because I love glitter!
Ready!
I'd love to show you every page...the lovely cordial text makes a story! This is the front of the booklet.
The first spread: Relax,...
Second spread: recharge,...
Third spread: get set, GO!
And finally the back side of the book, with the tag.
This was so much fun to do and it's always a pleasure to work with these wonderful PaperArtsy products! I'm so curious to see what the other ladies are creating with this 3 things! Hope we inspired you, have fun!
See you soon,
