Create Banner by Guest Designer Pam Bray

 It has been a fun filled August. I have had a wonderful time as Gina's August Guest Designer sharing with you some of my creations using Gina's Lasercut Designs. I love to "Create" so of course I had to use this fabulous Create Banner as my last project for the month.

 I began by running Create Banner pieces through my Xyron Creative Station, trimming off the excess Graphic 45 Ladies Diary paper and layering them together.

 I like to place my chipboard pieces where  I would like them to end up.

 and take photos of them so I can refer back...especially when I am using several different pieces.

 I used DecoArt Inc Media Gesso and covered all of the pieces, allow them to dry.

 Paint the leaves on the frames and feathery flourish using both DecoArt Media Yellow Green Light and Sap Green.

 Paint the birds with DecoArt Naphithol Red,, allow them to dry. Paint over with a wash of DecoArt Media Burnt Sienna. Dry.

 Do a wash of DecoArt Media Raw Sienna over all the pieces, dry.

 Make a mix of DecoArt Utra-Matte Varnish, 3 parts Quinacridone Orange and 1 part Paynes Grey. Apply to top of all pieces, dry.

 Last, apply DecoArt Inc Media Patina Green Antiquing Cream, allow it to dry. Take a wet one or wet paper towel and whip off randomly to give that antique look.

 Place each of the chipboard pieces on the banner. (Refer to the photos)

 Paper each of the letters with Graphic 45 Ladies Diary. Add to each banner.

 Add gears to the Clockwork Penny Farthing.

  I like adding pieces I have saved from other pieces...the birds came off the Birds on a Wire 1 die cut.

 Add a few rose buds to the banner. 

 Along with a small calendar to go along with Gina's Lasercut Designs Honeycomb & Bees Medium Set.

 Add the Bird in Ivy to one the banner along with the letter and a few more roses.

Add random metals to some of the banners along with a few of Graphic 45 Ladies Diary embellishments. Hang the banner using clothespins and jute to finish your Create Banner.

 I want to say thank you to Gina for having me as her Guest Designer and let you know I am so hooked on Gina's Lasercuts...if you haven't used them...they are a must have for all your projects, so make sure to check out the store HERE!!!

C-R-E-A-T-E Banner by Guest Designer Marla Rizzo!

Hello, today I have a beautiful Shabby-French Banner to share. I made it for a friend who visited Paris last month. 

 I used the 'C-R-E-A-T-E dovetail banner kit' from Gina's  store. The kit comes with everything you need to make a complete banner. I started by painting each layer then putting paper on the top and distressed the edges with paint. 

I also used some super cute pieces from the 'Parisian Shape set'. I painted them and added silver stickles.

 

 I painted the letters that are included in the kit and put diamond dust while they were still wet. With all the sparkle and bling, I was hoping to capture the glam of Paris. 

Hugs!

"Create" Banner

This is Lynne stopping by to say hello there and happy spring! Seems like it's been a long time coming for some of us,so I created this banner with papers and colors that felt like spring to me! I love the layers of the banner pieces and had a great time putting this together.

I covered the banner layers with Graphic 45 Botanical Tea papers, then lightly sanded and inked the edges. The letters were dry-embossed, then painted, stamped and heat-embossed.

 I especially loved the way the way the embossing added so much dimension to the letters! Thanks so much for visiting, and hope you decide to CREATE something this week to make you smile!

C-R-E-A-T-E Dovetail Banner by Mary and a Layout by Debbie

First up today is Mary to show you how she has decorated one of our banner kits.  Other styles of banner kits are also available in the store.

Hello everyone. I hope you are all well today. This is Mary and I  have one of Gina's fun banners for you today. This is the C-R-E-A-T-E Dovetail Banner. I have the banner hanging over the area that I keep things I made or that others have made and sent to me. (Excuse the beam - yes my craft room is now in the basement.)

The doilies are from the Doily Box - Sew wall hanging set. I inked them lightly with Vintage Photo and Antique Linen. The letters are embossed and  then attached them to the banner with pop dots.

Thank you for stopping by Gina's blog today!

Next up is Debbie with a 12 x 12 layout and a chipboard technique to share.

Hello Everyone! Debbie with you today to share a fun and quick technique using Gina's Designs Laser Cuts.

The technique I used on this flourished frame was one I have never tried before.  Here's what I did.
1. Painted the frame with aqua/turquoise acrylic paint
2. Outlined the flourishes with Perfect Pearls.  I used Pearly White color
3. I heat embossed the Perfect Pearls which caused them to bubble up and add more texture
4. I went over the dry Perfect Pearls with Versa Mark and used Turquoise embossing powder over the top.
5. I rubbed everything with Inka Gold in Turquoise and Old Silver.

You can see on the layout that I used coordinating cardstock for my photo matting and coordianated my embellishments to match.

I used Gina's Laser Cuts 10" Frame

Hope you enjoyed this technique and thanks for stopping by Gina's Designs Blog today!
