Hello lovely creatives...It's Floss here with you today with the 3 things challenge.
I was excited when I opened the box with the three surprise supplies in and found; stamp set Lynne Perella LPC006, The Hot Picks stencil PM018 and Shark Mattint (available from stockists).
I knew in that moment that I wanted to do something with fussy cutting. I'd incorporate my free motion stitching as a feature based on the Panacea Pizpireta image I'd seen a few weeks before that I found inspirational by Lisa Kokins and that I would hide stamped images in folds to incorporate the hidden element for this quarters PaperArtsy theme.
I was itching to get started and so went to find a fairly thin hard back book.
I folded eleven pages roughly in the centre of the book using the deep margin as my measurement...and glued those folds down. I then folded the remaining pages in half lengthways but did not need to glue these. The idea behind this was to use the book as storage for my fussy cuts. The front half of the folds to store the rough cuts, the back half for those that had been fussy cut and the middle pockets for anything in between.
With a thicker book, if I'd have folded all the pages in half it would have given me an open rolodex book holder, but I wanted to be able to close this one and potentially be able to flip through the pockets and tuck spots so I took a few pages out too...Being able to close the book would hold all the fussy cuts securely in place and this was important so I could have it with me wherever I went. My reel shows me shaking it about and nothing falls out :)
I had previously started a shabby Lynne Perrella altered book and was thrilled to incorporate these 3 things into its pages. Find more details on the altered book HERE.
Our allotment of treasures included the new PaperArtsy Mattint in Shark, along with a beautiful stamp set by Lynne Perrella (LPC006) and a favorite Hot Picks Mini Mask (PM017).
I had previously torn the pages between a spread to make room for the added artwork and decided it would be a fun place to start these journal pages. I used the glue properties of the Mattints to adhere the layers of torn pages together. The finished result was a sturdy, tinted page on which I could journal, with loads of texture as a bonus!
