MORE FROM FEBRUARY GDT ANGELA WESTLAND!

Layout using the rolled edge technique and a pocket in the bottom left hand corner for a journalling memento

Hi Angela here again this month!! This is the second layout I completed for Molossi using their beautiful papers, I have rolled the top left corner which I added a tag inside and made a pocket in the bottom left hand corner for the journalling notes. 

I have also used their chipboard Chandelier #1 Medium and painted it black and coated it with 3 coats of the UTEE. I have also made 2 handmade embellishments cutting them out from their papers, the purple roses are cut out using a 1" circle punch and set underneath a 1" glass epoxy dome and set in a brass setting. 

    

Trifold Shutter Card with an adaptation
with matching box for presenting as a gift!

This is my second card I have completed as Guest Designer for Molossi this month - it is a bit different from the normal Trifold Shutter Cards with a much larger space at the end of the card for your personal message or if you prefer a larger embellishment. You could also have your favorite stamp colored on this panel due to the generous size.

I find when making these shutter cards if you use a double sided scrapbook paper with borders on both sides in the design of the paper, it will correspond a lot easier for you when putting your cards together.

    

Thank you so much Angela for sharing your talents with us this month! We've enjoyed having you!

GUEST DESIGNER ANGELA WESTLAND

There are so many talented crafters out there, and here at 

Molossi will be starting to showcase lots of crafters to show you how to use Molossi products in varying ways.

I would like to introduce you to our first Guest Designer for February! You can find her work here.

Her name is Angela Westland - just look at what she has created for us this month!

Project 1: Layout using different techniques

With this project I have torn the edges of the paper, inked edges with an ink pad and have also rolled the corners of the top piece of paper using a paint brush to reveal the different paper used underneath. I have also applied 3 coats of UTEE to the chipboard cogs which brings them up like glass using a heat gun.

Note: For the glass effect on the chipboard cogs you paint the cogs your desired color using a ink pad and ink the cog with a Versamark Stamp pad. Apply a generous amount of UTEE over the cog and use your heat gun to dry, you will notice the UTEE melting - reapply coats of UTEE until you get the desired effect. With each reapply of the UTEE you will need to keep the surface wet with applying the Versamark Stamp Pad and then more UTEE. I find 3 coats leave a lovely glass finish.

      

UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel): This was used on the cogs which brings them up like glass. I used 3 coats on each cog.

Own Stash: Cog eyelets, die cuts and journalling tags.


Project 2: Easy Layered Boy's Card

This was a layered card using the rocket paper Molossi supplied, inside the card I have made a pocket and a handmade tag for your personal greeting on the left hand side in the card and have continued with the theme of the rocket paper to finalise the birthday greetings.

  

My Stash: Ribbon, Cardstock, Mesh and Die Cuts.
Hope you enjoyed seeing my projects , thanks so much for stopping by!!! More to come very soon!
