We’re celebrating another birthday on the Lovebug Creations Creative Team!

ScarletCalliope Happy Day Connie 1

Happy Birthday, Connie!

Please join me in wishing her a wonderful day full of creativity and awesome surprises!  Leave her a comment to make her feel extra special!

ScarletCalliope Happy Day Connie 2

I created a card for the birthday girl inspired by vintage sewing notions. This greeting features one of the newer colors from Lovebug Creations, “Crushed” and I just adore this beautiful, warm Rumple Ribbon. It’s perfect for Spring, Summer and Fall.

I created the “Happy Day” sentiment using the Chip Art tools from Melody Ross. I was going for a leather bracelet look here, but it was a little more challenging than I was expecting. I guess I’m an optimist!

ScarletCalliope Happy Day Connie 3

The ribbon matched perfectly with this pad of “DIY SHOP” scrapbook paper that I have from Crate Paper.

ScarletCalliope Happy Day Connie 4

I added in a bit of White Mama’s Mesh to give it some additional texture. The white Rumple Ribbon is also from Lovebug Creations.

I love to use pattern in my designs but sometimes too much pattern is too much for the eye to handle. To solve this dilemma I like to separate patterns with a solid to give the eye a break and allow it to process the next print. Here I’ve separated the measuring tape paper from the floral background with a coral-colored paper. Although both papers came from the same coordinated paper stack, it might look messy and disorganized to leave them sitting next to each other.

ScarletCalliope Happy Day Connie 5

The Washi Tape was a present from my friend, Cynthia Flores, for a Valentine Swap that we were in and it worked perfectly here to match the base paper.

Connie, I’m sending you a wish for a wonderful month of celebrating and hope you have a creative and beautiful day!

Thank you so much for stopping by!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Christine Barker

Hello Crafty Friends!

First of all, I have to say a HUGE HELLO, G’Day, Hola, Bonjour, 您好!, and Hallo to my visitors from across the miles. I check my blog stats and I see that I often have some visitors from Australia, the UK, Canada, Argentina, Singapore (Hi Aida!) the Netherlands and France.  Not to mention from all the other corners of the globe and you have no idea how happy that makes me!  Leave a comment and say hello and tell us where you’re from!

So, you may have noticed that Mason Jars are a big deal right now. They’re so popular that Target, Michaels and some other large US retailers are selling the vintage-color blue Ball brand canning jars. I bought a case the other day without any idea what I would do with them, I just knew they needed to come home with me and I’d figure something out. 🙂

Scarlet Calliope Sweet 11

I decorated a mason jar with some fabric, twine, some adorable paper decor and some beautiful Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon. This project would make a great gift for a hostess, a thank you or just because! Or, what about using some as centerpieces for a pretty wedding or party? The jars could be filled with sand and votives instead of flowers for a fun seashore themed look!

Scarlet Calliope Sweet 1

I started off punching out a 3.5″ scalloped circle from vintage music paper. I also punched out some craft paper and glued it behind the music paper to give it some oomph, I don’t want it folding over once I start adding on some embellishments.

Scarlet Calliope Sweet 2

I gave the paper a spritz with some Color Shine in Teal from Heidi Swapp. (I’m so excited that they finally restocked this color at my local crafting shop!)

Scarlet Calliope Sweet 3

Next, I went over the paper with a little bit of gesso mixed with water.

Scarlet Calliope Sweet 4

While my scalloped circle was drying I wrapped the jar with a scrap of muslin and used a drop of hot glue to secure it.

Scarlet Calliope Sweet 5

Next, it’s time to wrap the jar with twine. Apply a line of hot glue, about an inch, and place the end of the twine in the glue until it cools.

Scarlet Calliope Sweet 6

Once the hot glue has cooled completely, begin wrapping the twine around your muslin. I wrapped my jar about 6 times and then used hot glue to secure the end of the twine.

Scarlet Calliope Sweet 7

Add a scrap of burlap to your scalloped circle and add a sentiment. I used a sentiment that was on a piece of vellum but you could print out any sentiment on your printer or use a rubber stamp.

Scarlet Calliope Sweet 9

Next, I cut an adorable mushroom using my Cricut Cindy Loo cartridge. (I LOVE this cartridge and all of the sweet, whimsical designs!) I used a Copic marker to go around the edges of the mushroom. Then, I added a mini crochet doily and accented it with a vintage mother of pearl button.

Scarlet Calliope Sweet 10

Now it’s time for your ribbon!  I used Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon in “Mae” to wrap around the jar and to create a sweet bow. I love the “Oh Cecilia” Family Ties collection because it is full of gorgeous, shabby-chic hues that are perfect for my vintage-style crafts!

Scarlet Calliope Sweet 8

This vintage style Mason Jar craft goes perfectly with my collection of vintage-style milk jugs!

Thank you so much for joining me. Please leave me a note in the comments and let me know what you’ve been doing with Mason Jars besides canning!

xo,

Christine Barker

Mixed-Media: She Sells C Shells featuring Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon

Scarlet Calliope Sea Shells C 1

She Sells C Shells by the Sea Shore!

A while back I received a fun little gift from Debi Beard during a field trip to the Mermaid Mercantile at Out of the Blue in Solana Beach, CA. This extra special field trip was part of a dreamy shopping adventure arranged by Kim Caldwell during her Affaire at Tiffany’s-themed art event in Manhattan Beach.

The gift from Debi consisted of a white letter C and some sea shells and a challenge to embellish the letter in our own style. It’s only been 2 years but I finally stepped up to the challenge! I’ve put together a Sailor’s Valentine inspired tutorial so you can make your own project using some sea shells you collected on vacation (or purchased in a craft shop!)

Scarlet Calliope Sea Shells C 2

First, start out with a letter or shape. It can be made of wood or chipboard.

Scarlet Calliope Sea Shells C 3

Using a paint brush, cover a small area of your letter with Matte Medium, and then lay down a piece of book paper, vintage music sheet or clothing pattern tissue. Cover the paper with the Matte Medium (I use Liquitex) so that it becomes soft and will stick flat to your letter.

Scarlet Calliope Sea Shells C 4

Continue layering paper all the way around the top and sides of your letter. If you have curves in your letter, you’ll want to brush a little Matte Medium onto your letter and then place a strip of paper down. Cut slits into your paper on the inside and outside of curves to allow it to fully wrap around your letter and not create wrinkles. Always cover your paper with more Matte Medium so that it is completely sealed. Set on a piece of plastic wrap or a non-stick surface and allow to dry.

Scarlet Calliope Sea Shells C 5

Once your Matte Medium layer is dry, you can begin painting the paper with acrylic paint to give it an aged and shabby chic look. I mixed some Gesso with Matte Medium, brushed on a thin layer and then rubbed most of it off with a paper towel. You could also use a baby wipe for this step. Allow to dry.

Scarlet Calliope Sea Shells C 6

The next step is to glue down your sea shells. I used Tacky Glue, but you could use E6000 if you want a faster drying time.

Scarlet Calliope Sea Shells C 7

Begin laying down your larger sea shells first, and then add in your tiny shells into the blank spots. Allow to dry.

Scarlet Calliope Sea Shells C 8

You can skip this step if you want your book pages to show or you can follow along and have a sparkly, glittered initial!  Using a paint brush, smooth on your favorite glitter glue on a section of the sides of your initial.  I used Scotch Scrapbookers Glue with a 2 way applicator. I really like this glue because the tip is skinny and allows me to get glue into all the nooks between my sea shells. Work in sections so that your glue doesn’t dry before you get your glitter on. Glitter the sides of your initial with Diamond Dust glass glitter and after the entire initial is covered, allow to dry.

Scarlet Calliope Sea Shells C 9

Next you’ll want to squeeze glue in between all the sea shells and then sprinkle with more Diamond Dust glass glitter. Allow to dry.

Scarlet Calliope Sea Shells C 11

For the final step, tie a gorgeous bow using Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon. I used “Eyes of Blue” and “Icy Sky” for this project. I added a piece of coral to the top to finish it off.

Scarlet Calliope Sea Shells C 10

Thank you so much for joining me for this easy and fun summer project!

And, if you joined us for the Lovebug Creations Summer Release Blog Hop you’ll remember that I offered a $5 Gift Certificate to one lucky winner!  It’s Crystal Riley!  Crystal, please contact me at info @ scarletcalliope .com (remove spaces) with your email address. Congratulations!

Soldering: Ribbon Tassel Tutorial featuring Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon

09 Tuesday Apr 2013

Posted by kryztyne2012 in Art and Crafting, Jewelry, Soldering

Scarlet Calliope Tassel Tutorial 1

Ever since I learned how to solder from Sally Jean Alexander, I’ve experienced a world of whimsical ideas revolving around hot metal.

I’d like to share with you how to make a soldered tassel using Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon. Even if you don’t solder, the first couple of steps can be used to make a tassel and I’ll explain how to finish it.

Tassel Making Supplies

  • Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon
  • Wire – 28 gauge works well for this
  • Jump ring
  • Lineman Pliers
  • Copper Foil Tape
  • Soldering Iron and your soldering supplies
  • Solder – If the tassel will be used for jewelry, use a lead-free solder
  • Lobster claw jewelry clasp

Ready? Begin.

I pledge allegiance, to the crafting gods….

Scarlet Calliope Tassel Tutorial 2

1. Gather your favorite Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbons together and cut them twice as long as you want your tassel to be.

Scarlet Calliope Tassel Tutorial 3

2. Cut another piece of ribbon about half as long as the others and tuck it underneath the first group, in a perpendicular fashion. (I like big words and I cannot lie!)

Scarlet Calliope Tassel Tutorial 4

3. Tie a simple overhand knot.*  After I tied the first knot, I took both ends around to the other side and did another overhand knot so that it would hold firmly and the knot wouldn’t show on the outside.

*  Even though I was on the sailing team in high school, that doesn’t necessarily mean I was paying attention to how to tie knots. If you were goofing off like me, and don’t know an overhand knot from a granny knot, check out this knot reference.

Scarlet Calliope Tassel Tutorial 5

4. Are you ready to play with wire?  Take a piece of wire, about 4 inches long, and bend it in half. Add a jump ring to the wire and allow it to fall to the middle/crimped part. Hold the crimp and jump ring in your hand near the “head” of the tassel and begin wrapping the wire around the ribbon about a half inch from the top of the tassel “head”. Keep wrapping until you run out of wire. Use your pliers to flatten the wire against the ribbon, you don’t want it sticking out in the next step.

Scarlet Calliope Tassel Tutorial 6

5. Soldered: Now you’re ready to begin wrapping the tassel with Copper Foil Tape. Begin by covering the wire. Once you have that covered, add a piece of tape to cover the very top part. The tape needs to go from one side of the tassel to the other. Then, wrap another piece of tape over any exposed ribbon on the “head” of the tassel. Now you’re ready to solder. Hold the tassel either in a pair of pliers or in a towel so that your fingers are protected from hot solder and your soldering iron! Solder away!

Not Soldered: If you are not going to solder, you can cover the wire with a piece of ribbon. Cut a piece that is slightly larger than what you need to go all the way around twice. Use a small dot of glue from your hot glue gun to hold the end of the ribbon in place. You can alternatively use a drop of Fast Grab Tacky Glue and hold it until it stays in place by itself. If you’re using hot glue, please do not hold it in place with your fingers! I’ve seen products out there to protect your fingers, but I just use the eraser end of a pencil to hold things in place until the hot glue cools.

Scarlet Calliope Tassel Tutorial 1

6. Attach a lobster claw jewelry clasp to your jumpring. Now you can attach it to the bottom of a pendant, or anything else that needs a pretty tassel!

Pretty Little Things by Sally Jean Alexander

If you have questions about how to solder, check out Sally Jean Alexander’s online “Soldering for Virgins” class or her book, Pretty Little Things: Collage Jewelry, Trinkets and Keepsakes. Sally Jean is the original artist who started the soldered jewelry trend so if you want to learn, have fun and make beautiful, artistically-inspired soldered jewelry and projects, you’ll want to learn from the best!

Just in time for Valentine’s day, I made this sweet little Token of Love necklace using the collage I made last week for the background. First I stamped an X and an O onto book paper, cut them out and rubbed the edges with some soft pastels to make them stand out a little. I glued those to the collage and cut out my square. Then, came the fun part…soldering!

After the soldering was done, I added some charms to some chain and attached that to the bottom of the pendant. Next, I mixed and matched some necklaces to make this truly one of a kind. But, the finishing touch was the Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon in “Princess Party Pink” that I used to make a cute bow.
