Baby Shower Banner / Pocket Letter

Chipboard project or technique

I ordered these Chipboard (Baby Circle Set 6 pcs) sku CBDC218 from Infinity Engraving. I wanted to make a banner for a friends baby shower. I had a pocket letter that I was going to a make and thought that I could use one on that also.  I knew that I would eventually use the rest of them in future projects. I am not going to tell you how I put the pocket Letter together in this Blog. But I wanted to show you how I used one of the chipboards. The nice thing about chipboard is you can use them in anything you could think of. Chipboard can replace the paper you would use in a project and it will look really good, or even better.  

Supplies needed to complete Banner project 

 1. Glue   2. Mod Podge 3. scissors 

4. Two colors of Glitter 5. Paint 

6. Paint brush 7. Clothes Pins  

8. Papers for the banners 

9. Chip board  10. Paper cutter

11. Banner Cutter 12. 3D foam

13.  Images from Google 14. Ribbon 

The first thing that you will do is paint all of the chip board pieces. When  it has dried f

or 2 hrs or so, you will then brush 3 coat of Mod Podge over them all, letting each coat dry for 1/2 hour between each coat. Set them aside and let dry while you do the next part.

Brush mod podge on the top of cloths pins dip in the glitter. You will need to do that to both sides of the cloths pins. Do three coats, letting each coat dry between. 

I cut the letter with my Cricut. I did a two layered look.

Glued them together, and turned over to the back and put the 3D foam on back. I cut my letters at 4 inches.

I then cut the paper into banner shapes using my Banner cutter. (We are memories) You can do any size you want I did mine 5 inches. You will then put the letters on the banner, and glue the 2 chipboard pieces to the end of the banner.

Cut your ribbon to the size you want. Take the clothesPins and attach the banner pieces to the ribbon. Make a bow on the end of both side. And ya you have  a baby Shower Banner. She loved it and could not believe that I made this for her. 

Thank you for reading my blog. If  you would like to purchase any chipwood from Infinity Engraving this is the web address.

Steam Punk Altered CD

Chipboard project or technique

I had the swap that I joined and it was alter a CD  in steampunk. So Infinity sales these wonderful gears, I knew what I was going to do.

I gathered up all my supplies. This is what you will need to complete the project. 

1. CD  2. Paper of your choice   3. stamps from heartfelt creations

4. brown ink  5. inked lace  6. buttons, 7. key 

8. cloths pins inked  9. model paint in silver, gold, and copper

10. metal mesh  11. sizzors

11. chipboard gears from infinity engraving

Start by painting all of the chipboard pieces.  Fussy cut out the stamped images.

You will need two clocks and two globes.  Put 3D foam between the images so the will look 3D. 

Trace the back of the Cd then cut paper and glue to CD on both sides. I used hot glue to glue everything down. I started with the big gears glued them down on the bottom and continued to layer each thing on the Cd

This is how it turned out. It was a lot of fun making it. The nice thing about steam is that there is no wrong way to do it. Just as long as it looks old, distressed or used it will  work. The think that made this such a wonderful project is the Infinity Engraving sales the gears and you can paint them the colors that you want. This is the web sight so you can go buy some gears.

 St Patrick's Day Card

Project using printable image

This is a card I made with the printable image the was given to us to make something out of it. I love making cards for everything. When I saw this image I fell in love with it. Infinity Engraving put the image up as the challenge image. We were to put a button and some lace in it. 

I first printed my images then chose the paper that I liked. I think the hardest part of card making is picking your paper.

I then gathered my supplies. This is what you will need to complete your card.

1.Printer image   2. Three different kinds of paper

3. glue  4. paper cutter  5. glue

6. ink pad and ink dober  7. sizzors

8. stickles  9. button  10. lace

Cut you paper to the size of the card you want it to be. I did a 5" by a 6 and a 1/2 " card. I then cut my first layer 1/8 'smaller than the card base,  the next layer 1/8 "small the that layer . I than inked the sides of the image.

I glued down each piece of paper and added the clover stickers to the side. I than put stickles on all the clovers so they would be sparkly. 

I added the lace to the side, put a cute green bow on her head, and added the button at the bottom.

I opened the card and put a few stickers to decorate the inside of the card. This was a easy and fun card to make. Infinity Engraving finds the best images to make cards with.

Thank you for taking the time to see what I made and I hope you will try it for yourself.
