3D Paper Flowers Created by OMC Designer Lindsey Supplies Used: My Mind's Eye : India Paper Tim Holtz : Distress Ink Pad - Walnut Stain Inkssentials : Ink Blending Tool Tim Holtz : Tiny Attacher Glue Dots : Pop Up Glue Dots Roll Martha Stewart : Fringe Scissors Instructions: 1. Cut out several 3 ½” circles. The size of flower will determine how many circles you will need to cut. The more circles your cut, the bigger your flower will be. Fold the sides of the flower in and staple at the point. 2. Repeat step 1 for every layer of circles, only drop the size down ½” with every layer (i.e. the second layer would be 3" circles, the third layer 2 ½” circles, etc.). 3. Cut a circle 5” and use the Glue Dots to adhere the stapled circles in place. Securing the circles to the 5” circle will hold together the shape of the flower. 3. To create the flower center, cut a strip of coordinating paper about 8" long. Using the Martha Stewart Fringe Scissors, cut across the top of the strip, only cutting about 2/3 of the way through. Wrap the strip into a circle and use a Glue Dot to hold the strip in place. Bend the cut strips outward. Attach the flower center to the center of the flower with more Glue dots. 4. Once the flower is completed, use the distress ink and the Ink Blending Tool to ink the edges of the flower.
Look how these fabulous dimensional flowers add color and character to this mirror! Happy crafting!
Gone Fishing Father's Day Card Created by OMC Designer Jill Supplies Used: Imaginisce : Die Cut We R Memory Keepers : Embossed Sticker Stamps My Minds Eye : Miss Caroline Dilly Dally 6X6 Paper Pack My Minds Eye : Miss Caroline Dilly Dally Brad Ranger Ink : Stickles - Cinnamon Martha Stewart : Double Link Trim Punch Red Cardstock Instructions: 1. Cut out a piece of red cardstock 10" x 6" and fold in half. 2. Cut out 2 pieces of coordinating paper 5 ¼" x 4 ¼". 3. Die cut the letters "DAD" and "Gone Fishing". 4. Cut out a strip of paper using one of the coordinating papers. 5. Add these pieces to your card and embellish using the pieces from the supply list. 6. I embellished the letters with Stickles once they were adhered to the paper. Remember to let the Stickles dry completely! 7. Once you have completed your card, give it to your special “DAD”... then take him fishing!
4. Cut two pieces of coordinating paper using the Martha Stewart Double Link Trim punch. Adhere one strip on each side of the front of the card. 5. Now give your card to your special DAD! Tell him he is sooooo groovy! :) Happy crafting!
Instructions: 1. Trace the wood shape onto paper and cut it out. 2. Ink the sides of the ribbon shape with the distress stain. 3. Using Mod Podge, glue the paper down onto the wood. Press firmly to adhere the paper to the wood well. I like to use a brayer tool to push the paper down well. 4. Using a large nail file or some kind of sander, sand the edges of the wood to file off any excess paper and to distress the wood. 5. Ink the edges of the ribbon shape with the distress ink pad. 6. Once the first coat of Mod Podge is dry, apply another coat over the top, sides, and back of your ribbon and allow to dry.
Instructions: 1. Trace the wood shape onto a piece of 12" x 24" cardstock and cut out. 2. Paint the wood shape with coordinating acrylic craft paint. 3. Stamp a small area of the traced cardstock cut-out with distress embossing ink, then cover the ink with embossing enamel first, then the glass glitter and finally the mica fragments. Using an embossing heat tool, heat the mixture from beneath the cardstock until the embossing enamel melts and solidifies.
**WARNING** Embossing enamel is very hot so do not touch the enamel until it is cooled.
4. Section by section, repeat step three to cover the entire piece of cardstock with the embossing enamel, glass glitter, and mica fragments.
TIP: The cardstock shape may tend to curl when it is being enameled. For the frame shape, I left the cardstock under some weight overnight to remove the curling. This may be necessary with larger sized projects. 5. Once the cardstock shape is completely cooled, adhere the enameled cardstock to the front of the wood shape using Mod Podge. Happy crafting!

Forget Me Not Card Created by OMC Designer Lindsey Supplies Used: Sizzix : Embossing Folder Tim Holtz : Distress Ink Pad - Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo, Crushed Olive Kraft Cardstock BoBunny : Embellishments Ribbon Twine Martha Stewart : Deep Edge Punch - Garden Rail Craft Knife File Instructions: 1. Cut the card to 6" x 5". Emboss the back side of the card on the inside with an embossing folder and ink the raised areas with the distress inks. 2. Cut a piece of kraft paper 3" x 5" (this will cover the front of the card). Select an embossing folder and ink the entire folder with the Vintage Photo distress ink. Emboss the piece of craft paper. Ink the raised areas with the other distress ink colors. File certain areas to give the paper a distressed look. 3. Ink the edges of the card and the edges of the kraft paper. 4. Punch a strip of paper with the Garden Rail punch that is the length of the card and ink it with the distress inks. Glue to the edge of the long side of the card (see picture above). 5. Glue the kraft piece of paper onto the front side of the card. 6. Cut 2 slits in the sides of the card 1" from the bottom. Using the distress ink, ink the ribbon to give it the desired color. Cut your piece of twine to the same length as the ribbon. Thread the ribbon and twine through the slits and tie a bow in the front. Attach the BoBunny embellishment under the bow.
Instructions: 1. Lightly sand the edges of the wood with a nail file. Dust off the residue. 2. Trace the dress form. 3. Cut out and trim the shape. Repeat if doing the backside. 4. Stain the edges of the wood shape with the Dried Marigold stain and let dry. Stain the edges of the stand. 5. Using a foam brush, paint an even coat of Mod Podge across the top of the dress form being careful to not get any Mod Podge on the stand. Place the cut out shape on top of the form and use a brayer to roll over the surface. This is an important thing to do to have a nice flat surface when dried. 6. Once dried, use the nail file to sand off the edges so that you have a nice clean edge. Ink the edges with a matching ink. 7. Highlight bits of the design by filling in small areas with the Quickie Glue pen and then immediately sprinkle glitter over the glue. Shake off the excess glitter and allow to dry. 8. Paint a final coat of Mod Podge over the entire piece including the stained portion. The Mod Podge will brighten the stain colors up too.
