<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I just love making cards for teachers. They are always so much fun, bright and cheerful. To achieve a blackboard effect on my Curtsey Boutique tag, I’ve used some ink and my heat gun to replicate chalk on a blackboard.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">To start edge your tag using either the edge of your stamp pad(pigment ink works better than dye ink here) a sponge, blending tool or a cotton swab. Add as much as you like, for whatever look you are trying to achieve.. To create the look of words being wiped away, in the middle I added a bit of ink using a cotton swab and then gradually wiped away the access with my pinky finger, swirling and smudging the ink to get a light background effect. Then using my stamp I added the sentiment and set all of the ink using my heat gun. I let dry completely before adhering to my project. Simple and easy way to achieve a chalk look without using chalk.. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I’m big into gift wrapping lately and decided to try my hand at decorated bags. This is perfect for tucking in smaller gifts when you don’t feel like wrapping with paper. I’ve used my great Curtsey Boutique supplies alongside some of my craft supplies to come up with a fun gift bag. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Today I have a quick technique tip to get those beautiful, bold, gold glitter bands. No need to mess with marking out lines and mucking about with glue. </span></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">My technique tip: double sided quick hem tape you can find in any sewing area of stores. Regular double side tape for paper doesn’t stick as well. The quick hem tape is made for fabrics and holds on beautifully. Simply decide how many bands of colour you want, trim to size and adhere, making sure to rub all over with a bone folder (or your fingers) to guarantee great adhesion of the tape. Peel off the protective paper and cover generously with glitter. Press the glitter into the tape before tapping off any excess. Voila! Mess free bands of yummy gold glitter! </span><br />

<br />
With our bathroom renovation underway and nearing completion, it got me thinking about quick and easy DIY bath gifts. To me there's nothing more relaxing than a nice bubble bath to soothe and rejuvenate the soul.<br />
<br />
Using my Curtsey Boutique supplies I put together a little package, all ready to add to a gift for the bath lover in my life. I just love kraft bags wrapped pretty. The little wooden scoop is just too cute not to include. I stamped on "relax" with some Versamark solvent ink, so that repeated use near water wouldn't wash it away.<br />

Or way late, but I thought I'd share one of my favourite DIY projects to date. I had seen this idea <a href="http://www.andreadozier.com/blog/2012/01/29/diy-advent-calendar/" target="_blank">*here*</a> and wanted to try it for quite some time now. And now I have, using simple everyday items, and some of my great Curtsey Boutique supplies. My take on this sweet advent calendar:<br />
<br />
To begin with I painted an 18 inch embroidery hoop with some Antique White Web acrylic paint and let dry. Once dry I traced the inside circumference of the loop onto some sturdy thick cardboard. I cut it out and made sure it was a snug fit inside the hoop. I then cut a circle about 3 inches larger than the cardboard circle and pulled it taught over the cardboard, hot gluing the edges making sure the face of the fabric was stretched and free of wrinkles. Fit into the hoop and let the fun begin.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
I knew I wanted to stick to a few pops of colour but mainly keep it neutral. I started with these <a href="http://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/104779585/kraft-bags-and-journaling-cards-set-of?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">great kraft envelopes</a> with journal cards from Curtsey Boutique, along with <a href="http://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/112874448/mini-white-shipping-tags-2-34-x-1-38-set?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">small tags</a><a href="http://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/112874448/mini-white-shipping-tags-2-34-x-1-38-set?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">,</a> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/97248428/small-275-x-425-glassine-bags-set-of-25?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">small glassine bags</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/97216316/round-paper-doilies-4-inch-set-of-50?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">doilies</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/117974012/bakers-twine-brown-white-yellow-pink?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">twine</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/115083485/christmas-tree-burlap-die-cut-qty-5?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">burlap die cuts</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/115092496/christmas-glitter-snowflakes-qty-30?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">snowflake die cuts</a> and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/126412022/10-small-muslin-bags-4-x-6-wedding?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">muslin bags</a>. Other supplies included washi tape, bottle brush trees and wreaths, thumbtacks, burlap, felt, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/153042032/mini-clothes-pins-1-inch-vintage-gold?ref=shop_home_active_4" target="_blank">mini clothespins</a> etc. Sky's the limit to decorating, so long as you have 24 little packets to countdown to Christmas!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pymVam-St28/UzKCAEH2LMI/AAAAAAAADZU/ACKCfqbGa1U/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pymVam-St28/UzKCAEH2LMI/AAAAAAAADZU/ACKCfqbGa1U/s1600/007.JPG" height="265" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Of course it's a personal choice to decorate how you like, but here I've jazzed up plain white tags with pretty washi and stamped names. Wrapped them in twine and adhered with mini clothespins.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-va5t5ljJbWM/UzKCCcFwTJI/AAAAAAAADZs/It14QoVhkak/s1600/advent+%25284%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-va5t5ljJbWM/UzKCCcFwTJI/AAAAAAAADZs/It14QoVhkak/s1600/advent+%25284%2529.JPG" height="265" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Using confetti I made pretty little see through packets with small glassine bags and closed with washi.Using the same washi tape I adhered it to the mini clothes pin.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aVxsgTo2qX0/UzKCC812WLI/AAAAAAAADZ8/1sDswktibls/s1600/advent+%25287%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aVxsgTo2qX0/UzKCC812WLI/AAAAAAAADZ8/1sDswktibls/s1600/advent+%25287%2529.JPG" height="400" width="265" /></a></div>
<br />
Using burlap I cut out a mitten and stocking, and made little pockets to stick instructions in.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2qBh5P2CciE/UzKCA-EK80I/AAAAAAAADZM/H00hkF1qROo/s1600/015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2qBh5P2CciE/UzKCA-EK80I/AAAAAAAADZM/H00hkF1qROo/s1600/015.JPG" height="400" width="265" /></a></div>

<br />
And here it is all done. It would be easy to change out envelopes or packets each year to update. I can't wait to use it this year for Christmas. <br />

I can't wait for spring. This winter is taking its toll... extreme cold temperature for longer than usual periods of time. The bright sunshine is the only reprieve from the bitter cold. It streams through my windows and fills the rooms with warmth and light. Thankful for the sunbeams.<br />
<br />

<br />
Thinking spring I made these using some of my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/curtseyboutique?section_id=10929714" target="_blank">Curtsey Boutique</a> goodies for a co-worker of mine, using my paper scraps. I often don't have the heart to throw away even the smallest of pretty paper scraps. Two different versions, one with stitching and one using ric-rac. Pretty <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/curtseyboutique?section_id=10929714" target="_blank">CB</a> sequins add a pop of sparkle.<br />

Some Basic Grey papers add an almost sky-like background. An added doily mimics the kite flying high in the clouds... Hope you like it:)<br />
Before I go, a little song we used to sing on Good Friday, where our tradition was making paper kites and flying them all day long. Like stained glass windows in the sky...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's go fly a kite,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Up to the highest height!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's go fly a kite,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And send it soaring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Up through the atmosphere,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Up where the air is clear</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, lets go fly a kite..</div>

Hi there,<br />
<br />
Just popping in to share a quick post... doing my small part to help out someone in need. For the month of March over at The Curtsey Boutique, CarrieAnne has a special limited edition gold flower. The sales of this flower will go towards helping out a family dealing with a terrible situation. One which no family should ever have to deal with. You can read CarrieAnne's original post <a href="http://theserendipitousscrapper.blogspot.ca/2014/03/doing-it-for-duncan-limited-time-gold.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>... and if you feel like supporting the cause, you can purchase the flower <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/181463326/extra-large-vintage-gold-fabric-flower?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
Thanks for letting me share,<br />

Usually each year my best intentions to get Christmas cards out fails, generally because I'm too busy making cards for other people.. I won't complain... no, never. I love seeing people's faces when they get their stacks of handmade cards made by me. Such a great feeling. So, instead of worrying about Christmas cards, my new tradition will be to send out greetings in the new year. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here's a little tutorial I did on my 'cards' for this year for Curtsey Boutique:</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rq--v3fwxZY/UxO8uFpqMEI/AAAAAAAADWg/CtU-aSUVA6w/s1600/096.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rq--v3fwxZY/UxO8uFpqMEI/AAAAAAAADWg/CtU-aSUVA6w/s1600/096.JPG" height="292" width="400" /></a></div>

Wrap a 6 inch doily around the front of the bag and secure with tape. Fill glassine bag with various sizes, colours and textures of confetti. Add sequins. Sew top of bag at the fold with gold thread to keep confetti in.</span></span></span><br />

your computer using Word or Photoshop, create a tall rectangular
greeting and print out. Trim bottom edge to make it look like a long
banner. Edge with glitter and adhere using a stapler. Add snowflake
embellies. Stamp a greeting along the bottom edge of the bag and heat
emboss.</span></span></span><br />

Peel off other side and cover liberally with glitter. Press the glitter into the tape before shaking off excess. Perfect, straight glitter lines every time!</span></span></span></div>

<br />
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas... it makes the day seem more cozy and special. Almost like you are in a snow globe. I just love that feeling. Every year I put up the handmade snowflakes my sister makes me. She is super talented. Even if there is no snow falling, every time I look at the window I see beautiful snowflakes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
These were the inspiration for one of my favourite cards this year. I found all sorts of pretty wooden snowflakes at the craft store and couldn't resist painting them and glittering them up in a shower of sparky goodness...<br />

<br />
Today I'm gearing up for my Christmas dinner and one of my favourite things is the table setting. I think it's the best part of the meal. This year I've made candy cane place settings. I've seen these all over Pinterest, from simple to fancy and I've decided to try it out today.<br />
<br />
Start by gathering all of your supplies:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6aalUeuaSnU/Upv7wOBYhVI/AAAAAAAADU8/iZDRAO8dLF4/s1600/011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6aalUeuaSnU/Upv7wOBYhVI/AAAAAAAADU8/iZDRAO8dLF4/s400/011.JPG" width="400" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SZNzNuJH5Cg/Upv7woGhF5I/AAAAAAAADVU/SF50v9oP6hQ/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SZNzNuJH5Cg/Upv7woGhF5I/AAAAAAAADVU/SF50v9oP6hQ/s400/005.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Gather the three candy canes and form a tripod. I used washi tape to keep them together. You could use glue, but if you plan on eating the candy canes after it's easy to peel them apart if using washi.<br />

Wrap the doily around the journal card and add a snowflake with 3D tape. Add a chalkboard label on top with more 3D tape. Decorate with wooden snowflakes.<br />

All ready to be labelled with some chalk and set on the table. I can't wait! It's so easy to do any theme for your table. <br />

I finally got around to sending out my wedding thank-you cards. It always seems to take twice as long when you make your own by hand. It was the last DIY touch to our wedding, and I love how they turned out.<br />

<br />
Since our day was full of love and family, I wanted our thank-you cards to reflect the feelings of the day. The hearts burst out of the envelope and seem to float away; our way of spreading the love to all who were there and who couldn't be there, but had us in their thoughts. <br />
<br />
I used the same muted colours we had for our wedding. I just love creams and soft pink together.The doily theme stayed with me, (I used large french doilies to wrap our invitations and then tied with some rustic twine) as well as a little lace- to remind me of the pretty, vintage tablecloths my mama found and let me borrow. So many great memories wrapped up in these little cards.<br />

I hope everyone loves receiving them as much as I did making them.<br />

Christmas is approaching and I always seem to have a crafty list as long as my arms. So many great ideas to put into play. Maybe one of these years I'll get a good jump start on the season and complete all of my lists.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
On the top of my last few lists has been doing a December Daily. I love the whole idea, yet I'm never on top of things enough. This year I've tried to get started and am making progress. I envision a shabby chic, pages of all sizes and shapes, envelopes decorated and stuffed with journal and great embellishments.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QI7-KeG_ysg/UoBnDyHSoYI/AAAAAAAADSw/E8b3OuNy490/s1600/030.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QI7-KeG_ysg/UoBnDyHSoYI/AAAAAAAADSw/E8b3OuNy490/s400/030.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
To get started I've used some bits and bobs I had left over from my Crafty Secrets Christmas Cd's <a href="http://craftyvintagegirl.com/index.php/digital-products/cd-s/creating-with-retro-christmas-cd5.html" target="_blank">5</a>(Retro) and <a href="http://craftyvintagegirl.com/index.php/digital-products/cd-s/creating-with-vintage-christmas-cd6.html" target="_blank">6</a>(Vintage) Christmas, and created some journal tags to put into clear pockets. They were so much fun to create using all my leftover scraps. I hardly throw anything away, and it's paid off here:)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-haNSVD7b8Ys/UoBnEe_ptFI/AAAAAAAADTI/nwOVKimuJH8/s1600/042.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-haNSVD7b8Ys/UoBnEe_ptFI/AAAAAAAADTI/nwOVKimuJH8/s400/042.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Using some dies, twine and buttons along with half pearls and some stickers its easy to create oodles of these. Pennants of all shapes, sizes and colours are seperated by some 3D tape and layered on top of one another.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F5wAo15VWpk/UoBnEH-VfrI/AAAAAAAADS8/aWgFcW52huA/s1600/035.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F5wAo15VWpk/UoBnEH-VfrI/AAAAAAAADS8/aWgFcW52huA/s400/035.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
For these I chose to repeat colours, patterns and shapes so they all have some uniformity throughout my journal. I hope to pop back soon with some other pages of my December Daily album.<br />
<br />
Until then my friends!<br />~Becks.Rebekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16449545974301582459noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990425216480057340.post-24789399044862103292013-11-10T22:37:00.001-06:002013-11-10T22:37:43.844-06:00thank-you teacher...As kids my sister, best friend and I would often play school. There was something about writing on the chalkboard with different coloured chalks, marking papers and keeping attendance that fascinated me. We would set up our classrooms all over and take turns 'teaching'. We had lined books which we made up to be like the attendance books... marks books to record our students test scores. I loved those days we would play school. I enjoyed going to school as a kid, maybe more so for the social aspect than the academic.<br />

Now a days some of my good friends are teachers, and the hard work they put in day in and day out astounds me. Shaping young minds, teaching the next generation... Since I love all things school themed lately I decided to create a simple thank you card fit for anyone's favourite teacher. I've had a few in my life that had a remarkable impact on my life today. My sweet and talented blog friend <a href="http://www.creativestampingideas.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Joanne</a> made me some of these cute apples, after I saw one of her <a href="http://www.creativestampingideas.blogspot.ca/2013/08/back-to-school.html" target="_blank">gorgeous creations</a> using them. Aren't they darling!?<br />

<br />
I love decorating for Christmas. This year I'm continuing with a rustic theme and so this month for the <a href="http://heartwarmingvintage.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Crafty Secrets Linky Party</a> I decided to make a hanging mobile for the door. I've used the ivory and black music paper from <a href="http://craftyvintagegirl.com/index.php/digital-products/cd-s/creating-with-vintage-patterns-cd-01.html" target="_blank">CD #1</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yGLNGjqr3iI/UncKhuQF1XI/AAAAAAAADR0/sE8astqaOgw/s1600/092.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yGLNGjqr3iI/UncKhuQF1XI/AAAAAAAADR0/sE8astqaOgw/s640/092.JPG" width="424" /></a></div>
<br />
Start by cutting out one large and four small stars. Score each point to opposite valley to create a 3D effect. Distress each of the peaks and around the edge of the star. Put some hot glue on the back of the star in the centre to keep the star from flattening out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E0YXx_q39aI/UncKbIFYcmI/AAAAAAAADRM/e7bXGGHbcbY/s1600/060.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="297" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E0YXx_q39aI/UncKbIFYcmI/AAAAAAAADRM/e7bXGGHbcbY/s320/060.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zT24Uq3hZx8/UncKbgp7nII/AAAAAAAADRU/f56ai1OnBm0/s1600/061.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="277" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zT24Uq3hZx8/UncKbgp7nII/AAAAAAAADRU/f56ai1OnBm0/s320/061.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Punch a hole in all but the top point of the star and one hole in the top of each of the smaller stars. Tie a knot in three pieces embroidery floss or twine and loop through each of the holes on the large star, with the knot hidden on the back side of the star.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--ftZlR9WjCw/UncKbXMTv_I/AAAAAAAADRQ/jCi9NkwqNCw/s1600/063.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--ftZlR9WjCw/UncKbXMTv_I/AAAAAAAADRQ/jCi9NkwqNCw/s320/063.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Add jingle bells, snowflakes and small stars to each of the thread and secure with a knot on the bottom. <br />
<br />

This month I'm using a digital stamp to make a sign for my pantry. I've used the <a href="http://craftyvintagegirl.com/index.php/digital-sweet-stuff-das-l20.html" target="_blank">Sweet Stuff</a> stamp set today. I started out with a old, weathered piece of board and sanded it down then painted it white.. I used more of a whitewash to let the wood show through.<br />
<br />
After my board was painted white I used freeze paper to print the digital stamp. I used the mirror image and instead of playing around with resizing I just used the settings in my printer window. You can print the image to fit 3 pages which made mine just the right size for my board.<br />
<br />

Just a note regarding the freezer paper printing. Don't use econo or fast print. The ink will dry too fast. Be careful taking it from the printer as well. As soon as it's done printing position it above your board *without* touching the paper to the board. Once you are satisfied place it down gently and using a flat edge(I used the side of my bone folder) rub the ink onto the board. Essentially you are making a giant rub on. To give myself more time I only added one sheet of paper to the printer at a time so it would prompt for more paper.<br />

This is what it will look like after rubbing the ink off the paper. I then used a sharpie to darken lines before painting.<br />

Black sharpies can be your best friend.. used black acrylic paint to go over the letters and fill in the shadows. After painting I sanded over the letters to give a more aged look... my sign went a little wonky but I love the overall look over my pantry door:<br />

If you've been hanging around here for a while, you'll know how much I love Fall, Thanksgiving and Halloween. Generally this time of year puts me in the best moods... its the sunshine, the gentle breezes, that crispness...Today is no exception... the weather is perfect. I wish I could bottle this feeling... the ambiance... just freeze time and savour this day... </div>

Halloween has to be my most favourite holiday other than Christmas. Scary movies, creepy decor... trick-or-treaters... I love it all. Halloween crafts put me in just as good a mood as the weather... I often wonder why Halloween cards aren't as popular. They are a dream to make, and a perfect reason to get to use black paper and orange. Something I rarely do except for this time of year. Skull and cross bones, witches and black cats, pumpkins and bats... add some pretty bows and glitter and sky's the limit for creating...</div>
