Recipe for a Crafter plaque

A lovely lady from one of the craft groups I am a member of sent me lots of crafty goodies along with an ATC we swapped. I decided to put some of these papers and embellishments to good use and to make her a plaque.

I selected which papers and and embellishments to use for this project first.

This is what I used:-

• an mdf oval
• selection of the red themed paper ( one being felt) sent to me
• a few of her coordinating ribbons & bow
• a few of her coordinating paper flowers & strawberry button/gems
• a few of my embelllishments - charms/diddy buttons/peg/ladybird/paper butterflies.
• 2 eyelets
• Dreamees Divine Doily die
• Dreamees Recipe of a crafter stamp
• Stitched rectangular nesting dies
• Lace edge border die

The Dreamees Recipe of a Crafter sentiment stamp was heat embossed with black embossing powder onto a piece of white stamping card.

Then I die cut all my pieces ready to layer up onto my plaque. I used the Dreamees doily die and the stitched rectangular nesting dies on the sentiment card and felt layer.  For the spotty rectangular piece of card I used the lace edge border die

Using one of the Dreamees red dinky inkies I inked the edges of all the card stock including the mdf piece which I had already stuck two of the pieces of cardstock onto.

I decided where I wanted all the pieces to go before sticking them down with a mix of pinflair glue gel and cosmic shimmer glue. I decided not to use a few of the embellishments I'd originally chosen  and save them for another project.

A Side Pop Up Card

A side pop up card made for another Dreamees card swap.

I used the pink and white papers from The Dreamees whimsical wonders paper set, which have been backed onto silver rainbow mirri card  and then the white base card.

The Dreamees Recipe of a Crafter stamp was heat embossed using superfine metallic silver Wow embossing powder  The flowers have been stamped using The Dreamees A Charming Cascade flower stamp  and heat embossed onto pink & white vellum using the same embossing powder.

I have also cut out a few flowers from the backing paper and decoupaged them onto the backing paper on the card.

I made stalks for the flowers using strips of acetate and stuck them to the inside of the pop up section of the card, making sure the card will close with the flowers inside. I also die cut some swirls onto silver rainbow mirri card using one of the Dreamees dies.

Dreamees - Recipe of a Crafter Stamp

This easel gatefold card was made for one of my Dreamees card swaps

First I made the easel part of the card  and decorated it using papers from The Dreamees Something Stitchy paper pad and then made the gatefold card to make sure it all fit together. The sentiment easel stopper is from The Dreamees Stylish Shoes stamp set.

On a die cut topper, I heat embossed The Dreamees  Recipe of a Crafter stamp with super fine silver metallic Wow embossing powder.  Onto pearlescent peacock blue paper, I heat embossed the rose stamp from one of the friendship stamp collection of stamps (also doing this onto some green pearlescent paper to get the leaves). The papers and topper were edged with The Dreamees dinky inkies ink.
