ULD - LOVE BOOK

Hello everyone!  

Today I want to share this project with you all.  

Inspiration comes easily when using laser wood embellishments from 

Unique Laser Designs.

I'm using the heart shapes and gears throughout the project.  

 I applied gesso to a paper mache book as well as all the embellishments I planned to use. 

Then I used white embossing paste using three different stencils.

Everything was glued into place.  I overlapped the hearts in this picture above on the lower left.

I tore strips of paper with gears on it from Tattered Tales and glued them to the sides of the book using Mod Podge.

First I began to cover the spine of the book with words from a dictionary then I changed my mind about it and instead, I cut strips of aluminum cabinet paper.

I used my glimmer mists on the book, keeping clear of the sides.

Used my Silks (spicy tomato) to deepen some of the red areas that I had misted.  To deepen the blue/green areas I used acrylic paint, classic teal.

After drying drying, I took my Inka Golds, silver and lava red and blended it around the sides of the the book using my finger.  

There's another ULD gear behind the angel and another below the red pot.

The "XO" above is a ULD wood embellishment.

In the above photo you can see another heart with the arrow laying on it and a smaller one near the buckle..

After things got completely dry, I went over some areas with the silver Inka Gold metallic rub for highlights, 

I then added some metal embellishments.

This is what the sides of the book look like.

(Aleen's tacky glue was also used on some embellishments.)

I'd like to thank you for your visit.

ULD - BABY FRAME

Today I am sharing a picture frame that I created for a 
very special little one named Alexis.  
She brings much joy to our family.  
We are all in Love...

I started with the unaltered products.

 

  First, I used gesso on the picture frame, ULD pacifier, bib and gears.

The sprocket gears were then re-painted with white acrylic paint and Mod Podge.

The bib was covered with Crackle Paint, Tattered Rose, as well as  the pacifier (only on the nipple). The same was done on the two  gears that were not photographed.

I painted the rest of the pacifier with Distress Stain, Barn Door and around the edges of the bib.

After the crackle paint dried, I used Distress Ink, Fired Brick lightly over the cracks to make them pop.  I smothered all the pieces with Clear Crackle Paint, Rock Candy.

The picture frame was inked with Distress Ink, Tattered Rose.  A 6x6 Gears stencil with D.I. Barn Door was used around the picture frame.  Darker on some areas than others, then covered with

 Mod Podge.

Note:  When Mod Podge is used over Distress Inks it smears.  This was done intentionally to soften the hard lines created by the stencil.

I hot glued the Lace Ribbon around the edges,

Added the string of white pearls on the outside and inner part of the frame.  

Mounted the gear embellishments in place using E6000 & hot glue.

On the bib and pacifier, I added Recollections Tiny Rhinestones and a baby bottle that I painted  using a Copic Pen, R08.

I added a white bow to the bottom and some 

Creative Imagination epoxy letters for the sentiment,

"Grandpa's Little Girl."

Hopefully, you were inspired by our work here at ULD.

Love Card

With Valentines Day coming up I wanted to make a sweet card for my wonderful husband.  He is the world to me.  He is my best friend, the love of my life, and completely balances me in every way.  Who could ask for more!?!

I used two different types of wood items the "LOVE" title and two little hearts from Unique Laser Designs.  The have a beautiful natural finish, but I wanted them to fit with the colors of the card so I again used the Mica Powder to cover them.

I press the wood into the VersaMark ink and apply the powder with a brush, this time in red for all the wood.

I use a small brush to first apply the powder to the sticky wood to coat it.

I then use a larger brush to brush away the extra powder.  The shine on these is beautiful!!

Valentine's Day is coming up really soon, don't forget to make something special for those that you love!!

Love is in the air and this season is to express our love. My project today  is a Love Card that I made using only one piece of the Love Set, that I called "My love in a bubble"

To make this card I only used acrylic paint and classic ink to decorate the chipboard piece.

Let me show you how I made each part:

Fist I painted the chipboard bubble with white acrylic paint, the letters with black acrylic paint and the heart with Classic Poppy Parade Ink.

When the ink was dry, I covered the heart with a thin layer of glue, using a double glue pen, to sprinkle it with Dazzling Diamonds. Then I assembled all the parts.

Now that my main part was created, the next steps were very quick. I cut the different layers of my card and I aligned them easily with the Get-It-Straight Laser Square.

I used three different layers of papers for the base and one for the top.

To compliment the decoration of my card, I cut five word bubbles from a die cut framelits that are a little smaller than my decorated piece and I aligned all the pieces in two rows,  and pasted all the pieces with dimensionals.

Finally I tied a bow of red and white bakers twine on top of my card.

Other cuts that you can find in the Love Set are these cute cupids and these sensual lips, that you will see in another project that I will create just for you!
