Little Wings Creates: August 2019

I know it's that time already - Summer is just flying by. Here in Florida, the children head back to in August. I know that some of your children will be heading back in September.

I thought why not create some projects for the student this time.

Here are the fun projects I created.

The Backpack
This perfect to add a little notebook, a mini mechanical pencil, and some fun erasers.

Backpack Template

Kleurplaat Rugzakjes maken - Blanco - Kleurplaten.nl

Let's get started

I started by downloading and printing the template. Next, I trimmed the template and adhered it onto the Rinea Jade/Jade Starstruck Foil Paper. I also trimmed an extra panel for the inside of the backpack flap and the straps.

Next, I used a craft knife and cut the slits into the backpack. These will be for the straps.

Then, I used my scoreboard to score all the dotted lines (score lines).

Next, I used Imagine Crafts Tsukineko StazOn Pigment Ink: Shamrock Green, Hero Arts Just A Note Stamp Set CL404 and Woodware Craft Collection School Tots Stamp Set to decorate the backpack. I even stamped on the straps.

Now, to attach the straps to the backpack. I insert the strap notch into the slit and add some adhesive to the tab and pressed into place.

Next, I adhered the side tab to the press into place. I repeat the process on the other side. Cleaning up any adhesive along the way if needed.

Next, I add a bit of velcro to the front of the backpack for a closer. I use a small velcro tab that I cut in half. I stack the velcro tabs the hook and loop part onto the felty part. Then, I place the velcro onto the backpack flap first. Next, I close the flap and press the bottom part of the backpack.

Now, the mini backpack is complete!

Thank You for Being So Amazing Card

Let's Get started!

I start by gathering the components for the card. I trimmed the green gingham pattern paper to 3", the rose pattern to 1-1/4", I also trimmed a piece of Aspire Petallics Autumn Hay cardstock to 1". I die cut flowers from watercolor paper 5x, (I cut some of the leaves off for extra layering) and a card front panel from white cardstock. I pulled a few embellishments as well- washi, rhinestone flowers, puffy hearts and more (note - I didn't use all the embellishments I pulled - Yes, I am an overpuller 😉)

I used the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink in Tattered Rose (from the Kit), Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Worn Lipstick, Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Bundled Sage & Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Peeled Paint. I added a bit of water to the ink I smudged on my craft mat. I then used a paintbrush and colored the flowers and stems. On 2 of the flowers, I took out the little pieces, but on one of the flowers, I left all the pieces in - that is where I used the Worn Lipstick & Peeled paint to create some contrast and dimension. I set them aside to dry.

Next, I start to assemble the card. I adhered the green pattern paper first, then the rose pattern paper. Then, I put a strip of gold washi onto the Aspire Autumn Hay Petallics cardstock. Next, I placed the Aspire Autumn Hay Petallics cardstock on top of the seam of the two pattern papers.

Then, I gathered the dried flowers and adhere them to the front of the card. I place the two flowers that I removed the bits from down first. I then add a bit of foam adhesive to the flower with all the bit in and place it on top of the other flowers. arranging them to the left of the card. I tucked the extra leaves in under the flowers.

Next, I decide on the rhinestone flowers (from the kit) and some puffy hearts for embellishments. I added 3 of the rhinestone flowers on the watercolored flowers. I then added 2 tiny puffy gold hearts by the flowers.
