How to Embellish a ScrapbookTips for Using Glitter Glue in a Scrapbook

Hi. Welcome back to Expert Village. I'm your
host, Grace Fraga, with Fraga Framing and Art Gallery. My guest here is Sylvia Shepherd
from the Crop Circle.

She's teaching us how to "bling" your scrapbook. Absolutely. To
add a little sparkle to your pages. It's very easy to do.

First of all, you have a little
bottle of Stickles there. Yes, I do. Stickles is a type of glitter glue. It's a lot of fun
because you can use it both as a 3D embellishment, and as a glitter glaze.

You can write with
it. So you can go ahead and put a little title maybe on one of the tags. It should come out
pretty well. I'm going to actually go this way because...

It's got a good tip for writing.
Nice. Is that ok? That's great. So you just write whatever you want to write. Write whatever
you want to write.

The tip is a very easy flow tip. It's not going to spurt out on you
and give you all sorts of blobs, so that's really nice. It does take a little bit of
time to dry, especially when using it as the 3D embellishment. Now, if we had a brush with
us, we could actually brush that out and create a glaze.

And that would just give you a very
sheer color with the sparkle, and it creates something super fun. So that's one tip right
there for adding sparkle to your layout, is the Stickles. What is the other one? The other
one is this great product. It's called Glimmer Mist.

It's fairly new on the market, and we're
really excited to have it at our store. It's basically a spray that is going to add color,
like a watercolor sort of thing to your pages, as well as the sparkle. And, most importantly,
it's acid free. So you can't worry about that with your projects.

You're going to spray
it on here and it's going to have a sort of a sporadic feel to it, a little bit of spontaneity,
but that's ok. And, you're going to do that. Oh, I see what you're talking about. And that's
going to dry.

Ooh. And you can already see it sort of soaking into the paper, creating
a really fun glimmer. Look how much fun. Can I try it? Absolutely.

Go for it. Let me try
it. I wanted to try on the button here. Let's see.

Whew. There you go. And what's really
nice is it's going to wash out of your clothing, so you don't have to worry about that, and
your hands. But we've actually had customers, who have used it on things like their tablecloth
for a holiday party, and they've jazzed it up with that and then they throw it in the
washing machine and it's done.

So, this is a fun product. Definitely. It's called Glimmer
Mist, and you can get it at thecropcircle.Net. Absolutely.

That's great. So we "blinged"
it. We glittered it. And now what are we going to do next? We're going to sand it.

We're
going to sand it. Wow, this page has been having a lot of abuse, but it's fun abuse.
It's going to go through them well. Oh yes. So stay tuned for that..

DIY Scrapbook Faa um lbum de Fotos Divertido

Hi, everyone, I am Dany Martines! Today I was invited to take part in Stabilo's campaign
called 'Stabilo Conecta,' and create a scrapbook. For those of you unfamiliar
with scrapbooking, it is a sort of a booklet where you keep your pictures
in a different manner. Stabilos idea is to encourage us
to disconnect a bit from the on-line world and connect with the off-line world,
the real world. I know few people nowadays
are used to printing their pictures, so Stabilo and I will prove to you it can be fun to keep these memories.

Lets learn? Lets start by making the cover. I cut a 16cm x 21cm
chipboard rectangle. I marked 2cm at the sides
and drew a line with a ruler. I also marked the places for 3 holes
and used a hole punch to make them.

We will need some Kraft tape,
this larger type. Place it under the sheet
and next to the holes press it well to stick it
to the chipboard. Stick a 2cm x 21cm chipboard rectangle
next to it and then another 16cm x 21cm rectangle. Allow some folding space
between them, but this first part may be
a little tighter than the other one.

We will do the same on the other side,
starting with the Kraft tape, then with a 1,5cm x 21cm rectangle, and then with a 10cm x 21cm rectangle. It should look like this. We will cover this outside part
with blue self-adhesive plastic. I folded the edges inwards
and left wide margins like this.

I will cover the inner side
with light pink self-adhesive plastic. Take your time to do this part properly, and make sure the plastic is
correctly placed to the center. Use a ruler to help you work
the self-adhesive plastic well into the creases, leaving the folding region a bit deeper. After sticking all the self-adhesive plastic,
see how it looks.

I printed this image in
self-adhesive paper to make the cover. It already looks beautiful,
doesnt it? I stuck polka-dotted plastic to the sides
to make it look even more adorable. The cover is ready, but if you wish to decorate it even more, follow the steps I will teach next. I am going to use a potato chips tin can.

Stick a strip of blue self-adhesive plastic
measuring 2cm wide. Cut the blue part like this. It also works well if you stick a very thin piece of corrugated paper to it because it will simulate
a camera lens pretty well. Lets focus on the cover again.

Cut a circle using mirrored paper.
It should have the same measures as the camera lens'. Apply hot glue to this high-relief part
we have just made, and stick it onto
the mirrored-paper round shape. You can decorate inside
however you prefer. I used beads in the main colors used in the cover
and it looked really nice.

I closed it with a transparent circle. I stuck a hollow-cut black EVA piece
over the transparent one. Stick the camera details on it. Stick the lens outlines first.

Then stick the little heart shape
at the center. The camera looks adorable! Did you like it? Now let's focus on
the inner pages of the album. Cut a 15cm x 20cm rectangle
in a colored sheet. Mark 2cm at one side of the sheet.

Crease it using
the needle-point leg of a compass. Fold it. We will need three sheets like this. For the first sheet, we will print
a mailbox background.

Print it on self-adhesive paper
to make things easier. Stick it onto the colored sheet
carefully so it is placed right at the center. Leave a thin uncovered edge around it. Print only the mailbox
on a heavier grammaged sheet.

Cut around it, then
remove and spare the mailbox lid. Use double-sided foam tape
to stick the shape to the sheet. Stick strips of foam at the bottom,
at the top and at the left side of the mailbox printed
on the colored sheet. Stick the lid using ordinary glue.

Now peel off the double-sided foam
to stick the  mailbox shape. To keep something in the mailbox,
print this envelope template, cut it and fold the edges. Then stick a picture at the back
and close the envelope. Place a stick onto the envelope
to keep it closed.

I made three envelopes with pictures inside
to keep in the mailbox. I used Stabilo pens to write You have got mail! The first page is ready. Stick this wood wall with a window
at its back. Then apply glue all over the window, and stick a piece of pink crochet thread
at the edges.

Stick a window cutout onto it, only this one must have shutters. Fold the shutters
to keep the window closed. Apply glue onto them,
and stick similar wooden-like prints, so that the windows will look the same
whether open or closed. Stick a small square of double-faced foam tape
onto one of the shutters and stick a heart cutout onto it.

Make sure the heart
is placed well at the center. You can keep some pictures inside the window. I chose four selfies, organized them there, and wound the thread around the heart
to keep the shutters closed. The phrase for this side is
Open the window.

This is the final result.
I really like it, it is really cute! Cut this shape in pink paper. The link to the patterns used in this DIY
is in the video description below, ok? Crease about 1,5cm on this square-edged part. Stick printed paper to decorate it.

Repeat the procedure four times
using different prints. Stick a clouded sky background
to this page, apply a small straight line
of glue onto it, and then stick a blue satin ribbon to it. Take this part we have just made
and apply glue to the flap and stick it onto the ribbon,
like so. Repeat the procedure with the other parts, making sure you keep the flap edges
close to each other.

Finish by sticking another piece
of satin ribbon. I have chosen four pictures with Rick
to fill this page. I rounded the corners of the pictures
because it looks nicer this way. I stuck one picture on each part.

To keep this mini photo album closed,
I just tied a lace with the satin ribbons. I wrote Surprise to this page
with a Stabilo highlighter. Look how adorable it is.
It looks like a gift box! I stuck this image
at the back of this page.

I will teach you something nice now. Use the pattern to cut this shape
in a pink sheet. Fold the rectangle in half. Crease and then unfold it.

Mark 4cm in total, 1cm by 1cm, on the opposite direction of the tab
and towards the center Fold it again in half, then fold the 1cm marks
like a zig-zag. Keep on folding inwards and outwards. You will make the procedure a lot easier
if you crease on the marks using the needle-point of a compass. When opened,
this part should look like this.

Now lets turn it, apply glue at the back of the first crease, then stick one of these squares. It looks like the other ones,
only a bit smaller, as you will see in the pattern. It has two square and two rounded corners. Stick the square corners onto the crease,
with the rounded corners facing outwards.

Apply some glue to the other crease,
then stick another square. Always keep the rounded side
turned to the same direction. Keep this procedure for the four parts
of the zig-zag fold, always making sure the rounded side
is facing outwards. We are almost done.

Fold this part with the prints facing up. As that tab will work as a handle, I stuck a piece of decorated sheet onto it
so it  looks nice too. This piece is almost ready
to be stuck onto the sheet. Before doing so,
cut a color-paper strip, apply glue to both of its ends and stick it to the center of the image.

Fit this part underneath the opening,
like so. Then close it to adjust it well
at the center, then lift it, apply some glue to the strip,
and close it. Stick some pictures
at the back of each square. I have chosen pictures with people I like
that I have met in the internet world.

Lift each tab and stick the pictures,
one by one. There you go! It creates an awesome effect
as you pull the handle to see the pictures. It is really cool, isn't it? Now just imagine an album
full of pictures organized like this. Would be awesome,
wouldn't it? I indicated the handle with an arrow and wrote Pull underneath.

There you go! For the next page,
stick this background to the sheet. It works well for travel pictures. Then print this camera
and fold it in half, as if it were a card. Then stick it at the center.

Print this shape and cut it
to use as a fastener. Fold the corner
and stick inside. Before the glue dries out, close the card so the fastener
is positioned at the center. To keep the fastener closed,
use self-adhesive velcro.

Peel one side off and stick it
at the center of the camera card. Peel the other side off and close the tab. It will be correctly placed
if you follow this procedure. Print a camera roll
to keep pictures on this page.

You will need six of these rectangles. Stick one end to the other. Stick your pictures to the rectangles. I chose pictures with friends and youtubers
I have met and kept on this page.

Fold it in a zig-zag, leaving
the side without pictures facing up. Lets go back to the camera. Stick one side of the zig-zag to one edge, apply glue to the other side
and close the card. It looks awesome when you open it.

It is very unique and fun, isnt it? I wrote Good times underneath it,
because they were was so. This page is ready,
and I loved it too. The last page will be
at the back of this one. Stick this super cute pocket with a panda.

Use a thicker kind of paper to cut the pocket
and cut a heart-shaped hollow-cut on it. I cut some pictures in the same shape of the pocket,
only 0,5cm shorter on each edge. Then I stuck double-faced foam tape
to the edges so the pocket stands out, peeled them off,
and stuck it to the pocket. There you go! Just fit the pictures in the pocket.

It really captures the meaning
of the phrase Keep your memories. This one is easy to make
and looks so beautiful, doesnt it? Time to put the album together. Take the cover,
punch holes onto the plastic, making sure they match
those punched to the cardboard. It is much easier to punch
these holes using a phillips screwdriver.

I bought these 1cm-tall
folder screws. I applied instant adhesive glue
around the holes and fit the screws into them. Now open the album,
measure the pages, and punch the holes in the same
position. Fit the pages in the holes
and screw the screw heads.

Use self-adhesive velcro
to close the album. This is it! Isn't it easy to make your own
fun photoalbum? Now let's see how my photoalbum
looks like inside. I decided to keep my most
loved moments here. Summer, beach, pool...

You have no idea how much
I love summer, guys! When you open the window
you can see how I am inside: Sweet, fun, simple and happy! I recorded my relationship
with Rick inside the 'Surprise' box. We know we are strong
and that we can achieve a lot together! In the next page I kept pictures
taken with people I admire that follow me on Internet. I had the honor to meet
a lot of people. Most of them ended up
becoming my friends.

Friendship, guys, is really everything!
Always hold out the hand of friendship. Do not forget to keep your best memories
in the pocket of your life. Remember them
whenever you feel blue. Remember everything you achieved,
and what is still to be achieved.

Thanks a million, Stabilo, for reminding me that
the offline world is worth living! For those of you who also loved

Cricut Flower Market Nautical Scrapbook Ideas

Hi! Today I'm going to show you how to make some adorable projects using key 8 from our Cricut Flower Market collection. So let's take a look at a few of these projects. We have here this really fun little boat piece that can stand up. It's cut so that it has two layers and can just be an accent piece at a party or a decor piece.

You can see I've also used that same sailboat image here on my layout. So let's look at the booklet at what actually comes on this specific key. So here our theme is "so sorry," that's a sentiment that is on this key, as well as our number eight and then a lot of fun features that are more of the nautical look, so you've got sail boats and an anchor, as well as a calla lily, which ties in nicely with that "so sorry" theme. So here I have this card that uses the title, as well as the calla lily image, so here the Cricut also cuts out your container, so the little cylinder for the vase that the calla lily fits in, and on this card we've added some foam tape to make that calla lily layer dimensional and some distressing to kind of make that look more realistic.

You can also see we've used the title that's "so sorry" here and layer that all together. So on this key, you can see the boat comes in the different layers that all layer on top of each othe,r as well as these pieces that can be the sails on this and all of those can build together to give you the dimension of the sailboat that you would need. We've also got the anchor images, and so here are those, and this fun wreath that looks like a rope, so that's a great detail to add into that theme that you're going with, and then you've also got the vase and it is dimensional, so that you can line this up and get that shadow. So you can see that you'll have the background and then your actual calla lily or flower piece would go in between these two pieces so that it looks like the back of the vase and the front of the vase that way, and then the calla lily also layers altogether with the two different cuts.

So all of these pieces, as well as that title here, "so sorry," cut out all of these pieces all cut with this key. It also has the number eight so you can see I added that fun little eight detail here on the sailboat. For a birthday party, this would be a great invitation. You can use the number as kind of the center focal point on the card and then, I've also used that wreath again, cut from this cartridge, to kind of ground this card and that's a really fun detail there.

Now let's take a look at the layout that we've created here. This is putting that sailboat into use, so you can see here I've got everything to scale with the keys linked and the Real Dial Size turned off, then everything you cut stays at the same size on all the different layers as long as they're in the same color family in the booklet. You can see what items are linked together by referencing the booklet. So here we've added the the boat detail.

We've also just free-form cut some of the background texture papers to make that wave, and then I've used the anchor from that cartridge as my embellishment on this card, or this layout, so you can see how all of this comes together by just using the features of the key to help build an entire scrapbook page.
