Here you can see the video of the full kit, and what all has been included!

The Kit includes the following

18 – 12 x 12 double sided papers

8 – 8 x 8 double sided papers

24 inches of lace

12 inches of black flat back bling

1 pkg of Fab Scrap’s Stickers

1 Fab Scrap’s chipboard album

1 pkg of various bling and metal embellishments

1 pkg of variuos I Am Roses flowers

Various die cuts including rosettes.

All for $35.00! WOW!

Now to show you a little step-by-step of my 1st project!

I took this lovely paper, and

a left over tin to alter.

First

I used my milled lavender, and 

walnut stain to add a different color dimension to the paper.

Next I trimmed my paper to size, just smaller then the cans surface to allow for the lid to close tightly.

Using my score tape I went around the top and bottom edges of the tin,

as well as adding some along the side to adhere my paper to.

Next I wrapped the paper around the tin, and added another strip to hold it in place.

This is how it looked with and without the lid.

Next on to making the flower rosettes.

I punched out the strip,

I folded them back and forth along the preferations lines.

Next I added tape to hold them two ends together.

Squeezing the sides together and toward the middle,

push it downwards.

Now hold on tight! LOL

These things are spring loaded!!

Next glue the circular piece underneath the rosette, and the scalloped piece to the top.

I added a rhinestone to the center from my personal stash to accent the red.

Next I cut a strip of this paper,

to size to go around the center of my tin.

I inked it with fired brick red.

Next I added another piece of score tape,

and adhered it in place

I took this lace included in the kit, and added it to the bottom of the striped stripe.

Next I added this brown velvet ribbon to the top edge.

This ribbon was included in the previous Christmas kit.

Next I printed out these lovely stamp images,

and fussy cut this flowered lady out using my Tim Holtz scissors!

I LOVE THEM!!

Lastly I assembled my tin!

I added another rosette I made, I added a small rose included in the kit which I inked with red brick.

I tucked under the left over snipping of lace and a loop of the velvet ribbon to the top.

I also used accented them with some rhinestones and pearls included in the kit.

I also added some pearls along the back paper seam, giving it a more refined look.

To the front I added my first rosette,

as well as my flower lady cut out!

I hope you enjoy my altered tin!

And that it inspires you to try out some of my techniques and alter your own tins!

sCRAP'N WITH fLAIR DT~ HALLOWEEN KIT 2ND Project~ with more 2 come

Once again delays, delays! Instead of apologizing again I'm just going to show off the lovely tags I made with my Scrap'n with Flair Halloween Kit! There are only 2 kits left so get them if you can!

My 1st tag was discovered in my kit and then pre-loved by Ana, as you saw at the beginning of my last post, so I decided to try something different with it. For those who know me, you should know I don't own any cutting or embossing machines, so I FAKED IT!! Well, I think I better then faked it with this beauty!

I took and hand bent the pattern of a spider's web into the tag, starting with the long lines going from one corner to the other end of the tag. 

I then added the in between bends to connect them together, they were a bit trickier to do. 

 Next I took my Tim Holtz ink in Spiced Marmalade, and inked over the whole tag, making sure to go over my creased web design.

Then I took this lovely clock die-cut I received with my kit, and cut it to fit. Then added the clock arms, (not pictured) attaching them with a lovely pearl brad that was also included in the kit!

Then as you can see I embellished it a little farther adding a long piece of ribbon tooling ( also included in the kit ), creating a bow at the top and allowing it to flow over the rest of my tag sort of like a veil.

I think this is my favorite tag EVER!!

Ok, now on to my recycled item tag! 

I started by adding a tiny bit of adhesive to the back of my house so it would temp. hold onto my tag, just enough so it wouldn't wiggle while I inked.

Then using a variety of inks I started inking!!! And then inking, and then inking some more, and here's what happened!

 Then I pulled of the house, and inked it too (Tim Holtz Walnut Stain), so it would be more 1 color.

Then I took my recycled item, an empty candy wrapper, and had some fun!

 Crinkle, crinkle!

 Unfold!

 Traced a circle shape with a sharp pen, ripped it out!

 Removed the back paper layer.

 And glued my candy wrapper moon and the house back onto the tag!

I then added a few embellishments found in the kit, a sign and a leaf.

And this is what I turned out like:

Oh what a hauntingly good time I had making these lovely tags!!!

Can't wait to show you the rest!!
