Making paper flowers using FabScraps Flower Kit and X-Press It Adhesives with Anne Patterson

Hi it is Anne here and I am happy to share with you a fabulous page I have made using the Fab Scraps Easy Peasy Paper Roses and X-Press it adhesives. 

 

They come in a range of different colours to suite almost any project, but of course they work REALLY well with the Fab Scraps paper ranges.

Step 1.  Punch out three of the same size flower (setting the centre aside).  Ink the edges if desired.

Step 2.  Cut a slit down one of the flowers, cut out one petal from one flower and two petals from the third.

3.  Using X-Press It double sided tape, adhere two petals of the flower together, so it is now a five petaled flower (creating a cone shape).

4. Repeat this process with your other two flowers, creating a 4 petal and 3 petal flower cone.

5. Taking  a skewer, roll the petals of your flowers.

6.  Using X-Press It Clear Gel, glue one of the centres into your five petaled flower.

7. Now glue the four petaled flower into the center of the five petaled flower.

 8. Add the three petaled flower into the center of the four petaled flower.

9. Take the two petals and one petal you cut out earlier, and curl and glue into the center of the flower.

9.  Repeat this process until you have the number of flowers you desire.

10.  Take out the leaves.

11. I have chosen to add some stitching detail to the leaves.

12.  Now you have finished your flowers and can use them in any way you wish on your project.

Products I have used in my project are:

X-Press It Double-Sided Tape 6mm 

X-Press It Double-Sided Tape 12mm

X-Press It Clear Gel Glue

FabScraps Shabbylicious Patterned Paper

FabScraps Pink Flamingos Patterned Paper
FabScraps Easy Peasy Paper Roses
FabScaps Die-Cut Chipboard Word Trouble

Here is my finished page.

I hope you can see how EASY PEASY this is and give them a go.

FabScraps Cog Album--Layered Page with Anne Patterson

It is Anne Patterson here and I have had the fun task of creating with the Fab Scraps Cog Album and a variety of X-Press IT Products.

The first step I took was to coat the front cover with some Pewter Distress Stain.

The great thing about the X-Press It Glue pen is you can use it for embossing and so I have added some details onto the cogs using the glue pen. 

I have then sprinkled the details with embossing powder.

You then wait for the glue to dry for a little and then you can heat set the powder with your heat gun.

 I have then coated the back page of my album with Triple Tac Glue, and then pressed to the patterned paper.

Then you cut off the excess paper.

I have used some patterned paper to create a pocket to hold some certificates.  i folded over the edge to make it easier to slide the certificates in.

I have then used X-Press It 6mm Double Sided tape long the bottom and sides of the back of the patterned paper.   This I then adhered to the back of one of my album pages.

 I have used my X-Press It 12mm Double Sided tape to adhere some cardstock to the patterned paper background.

I have then used my X-Press It Clear Gel Glue to adhere the additional cog and title embellishments
to my page.

To give the cover a little extra lift, I have put the cover picture on some X-Press it foam tape.

Products I have used in my project are:

X-Press It Tripletac Glue

X-Press It Double-Sided Tape 6mm 

X-Press It Double-Sided Tape 12mm

X-Press It Clear Gel Glue

X-Press It Glue Pen
FabScraps Cog Album
FabScraps Wild at Heart Patterned Paper
FabScraps Wild at Heart Clear Stickers
FabScaps Die-Cut Chipboard Word Rough & Tough

Here is the final project:

The cog album cover lifts to reveal pictures on the inside.

The inside page lifts again to reveal the pocket page with the mining permits, and some more pictures of our outing.

This is a great way to use and create an interactive page, with lots of space for pictures and moments and the process is very similar if you create the whole album instead of a page, but I hope you have enjoyed my share.

Thanks for Looking

Anne
