 everyone married espresso press design I hope you're all doing well thank you for visiting today is another charm and a little show-and-tell and the usual I started on the artsy stuff for the craft show it's quickly approaching this is a little frame piece not sure what price I'm going to put on there it's six by six so let me know if you have an idea what I might sell these for they take about three hours of my little bird I have at least one more to make maybe two but I don't have any more wooden frames someone Kylie found those for me in my craft group and I went up and and I didn't find any more so I've been I have a paper shadowbox paper frame I can use and if I want to make any more I can make another one of those but I think that'll be it for those I might do some collage on some mini canvases but I'm not sure yet I just want to do and I definitely want to try a couple of books okay shout out today to Mary Lola Rosa Joanne Suzette and Dana customers glad you all liked your product thank you so much for taking the time to give me a review I appreciate it very much what else didn't see anything the only thing I really watched this week was how to make those shadowbox frames because I forgot how I have one here already I did a long time ago I learned how to make a puzzle purse which took forever so if I can find a way to teach that fast enough maybe I'll do that in the future but that's about all I saw interesting so today this is almost this is so easy it's almost embarrassing but I hope you can catch that glitter on there you see there we go and the embossing okay today I'm gonna try something a little different because I don't think the embossing showed up enough and I'm gonna give you a little trick to make these little rivet like things if you don't have I do have a riveter but I can't do it myself or eyelet eyelet rivets whatever you want to call it okay so you'll just need what brought this on is my little scrap box this holds all cardstock little scraps and it's been sitting here forever and I went through and took out a bunch of colored ones colored paper like so and I saw it you know it's been sitting here forever generally I grab something when I need a small piece of cardstock but it's been there because I thought oh yeah I can stamp sentiments on that well that never happened too often so I thought I would make some little charms with it so that's what I did so you'll just need little strips or you can do a big bigger sheet postcard whatever emboss and cut those into strips and then I just they're about a half an inch and I glued two together made sure they were the same size glued two together and then took them over and embossed them so you'll need your little strips you'll need some glue and on top I just put some glitter glue so some glitter glue here gold and silver whatever color you desire and today I think I'm going to try to accentuate the embossing with some since I'm using bright colors I'm probably gonna try it with black ink and that's one thing I wish I would have I wish would have stayed a little more prominent and also what I did I embossed them before I glued them together so the backs are different a different emboss but since I like the pattern of this and but this one embossing folder better I'm just gonna glue them together and then emboss so as I said these are about a half an inch and I'm not gonna bother to cut them unless I have to and as you can see you know these aren't the colors we would normally choose but I'm using them anyway sometimes I don't mind bright colors use whatever whatever you prefer kind of color purple one down here let me say this is where to measure you make these any size you want the size of your scraps whatever usually to even things up I just take a pencil make a pencil line or it doesn't even matter I'll glue those together and cut them down after so I think that's let me say cut this one in half so we can get a pink one that's enough for me to get started here so the craft show is quickly approaching get these glued together and then I'll run over and emboss them real quick I didn't I don't have enough room on this table as usual to bring that over here but I think maybe next time if I'm lucky might be another create with me I am I wanted to I've been wanting to do one since June just haven't had time to make it but I finally thought of a finally thought of a project don't want to keep doing cards all the time but that's why it's been a little a little challenging to come up with items to make that I can do a quick video and then oh I forgot if you have some metallic paper like gold or silver or like that you can use that or you can just paint over a piece of packaging I didn't went over that with my marker pens I'm probably gonna do my corners too first because it took they were a little hard to get in the punch after they were embossed so I'm just taking my mini corner here or you can just do that with scissors see it and told you this was embarrassingly simple although I might have a might have another charm I don't know have to have to find the items I keep forgetting when I go to the store that are upstairs walking around school will be starting soon I'm pretty much giving up on summer I had this color because I did all those little purses for girls and then I had to come up with something for boys so I used all that brick color cardstock and made a whole bunch of those little six pack Hershey Nugget six pack hopefully that'll be good enough for boys because I do not have any paper or anything stickers nothing that would be suitable for boys I didn't feel like going spending a bunch more money so okay so there we go first step just gonna run over here through these in the folder and I'll be right back talk amongst yourselves or I should probably cut that out they all would say talk amongst yourselves speaking of which oh boy I don't know I hope this isn't talking out of turn what happened but something must have happened that she decided I'm talking about Gail Augustinelli here and she decided that she was no longer going to be doing Etsy shares real shame because it wasn't for her I don't know if I would ever be to sale on Etsy she's the reason she's the reason I even continued the tradition so if anyone knows what happened private message me because I want to avoid the same thing if it was something detrimental to a shop or to a channel I guess you never know these days so I'm just taking some black ink maybe I better use my stays on although I don't think my mental runs but I probably better go with this I'm hoping I thought about inking up my folder which would also be cool because I thought about inking up both sides of my folder and then you would get a different effect on each side of your piece I thought that might be cool I don't think I'm gonna don't think I'm gonna ink the backside just because you know I'll get the I'll get a different pattern and I think since these are very bright colors helps tone down those colors quite a bit and helps me keep the interest after I put the glitter which I thought since they are a charm I wanted to bling them up a little bit but you can also just you know I'm gonna show you that real quick and then I'll try one on the back and just to see how it looks see okay let's try it back see what happens but that oh that's not bad okay that's kind of cool so I guess I'll do them all and again you could do this with circles doesn't have to be these little strips I just my thought was I just want to clear this box out a little bit oh I can't wait until this show is over I can't wait to get back to more creative things and I am definitely going to tackle this room that's for sure okay so I think while I wait for that to dry a little bit I'll show you how to do these and I forgot to say you need two punches and I meant to look this one up but I'm pretty positive it's an eighth of an inch this these are those tiny tiny hole punches so okay be careful with this because these are gonna fly everywhere just gonna poke a little series of holes and you're gonna kill me gonna kill me for how fiddly this is but then you're gonna take your larger punch which quarter of an inch you're just gonna make some little metal reinforcers and I put one on the back and the front so there's another fabulous idea if you don't have the tools which I don't need during that is all well it's kind of on my list you know when I was doing those tiles I thought that would look so great with a rivet but I let I let rivet but mine I can't do it by myself to have my husband do it and I don't have a crocodile and since the rivets I don't want off the table I think it did the rivets and maybe the fact the length of it you know for this corner punch and all that I won't use it for that I'm kind of a point where you know my room as I said many times I only have so much space I'm not taking up another room at least I hope not supposed to be my daughter's painting room okay here you go there's your little rivets and then dry enough take your tiny hole puncher do that one it's cool little hole where you desire and then probably it would be a good idea just to make a little pallet with the glue on there with my finger no don't kill me this is the hardest part you know what it would help if I had maybe no maybe my tweezers are actually too big so actually I just scooped up one little side of the glue scooped it up yeah it's fussy all right there's my tweezers a tiny pair of tweezers will work better but I don't have any down here so just scooped enough on one side that's good enough long as it sticks I'm gonna do them all here on camera so we still have to do the glitter oh geez on my finger don't drop it keep it tight okay yeah that took the most time but you get the drift I'll do the rest of these off-camera okay wait a minute let me turn this paper over rivet okay are we 29 she's I thought this would take 20 minutes that's the best thing you do when working with maybe I'll do now let me see I was gonna make up some colored glitter glue but I didn't see how well this one does got to put a hole in that one really has any glitter in it okay I'll make that glitter glow dollar tree of course there's 10 times more glitter in the other one I can tell just by looking at it well you might like that not quite so much you might want yours a little more subtle or you might not want glitter at all and it takes forever to dry even when you could have very thin coat like I'm doing so I hope everyone's doing great I guess what oh boy I don't even know if I should relate this drove the whole way up to cherry Springs oh my daughter I wanted to do something with her before school and she wanted to invite her friend and her friend could only go on one day and the weather claimed it was going to be partly cloudy and then clearing in the evening and we get up there I'm never going there again in July that's for sure the height of summer and hoping for the stars to come out because she'll be waiting till 2 o'clock in the morning just 2 and 3 a.m. is actually the best time anyway so we sat there until 11 11 o'clock just waiting for it to get dark and sure enough instead of clearing it the clouds rolled in and there's virtually nothing else to do there except look at the stars so we had a picnic and that was about it I'm not going up there I'm not trying that again until like September or October I probably because these things so long to try trying to put the lightest coat possible so that don't have everything sticking everywhere don't forget you can do this in one sheet and then cut them up that would be fast that would be super fast but I'm just using scraps okay here we go gonna finish these up on camera if you can see the glitter on those because the black is kind of but it's there and actually I like those I really like those I can I can barely see the glitter myself so maybe I'll have to put another coat but it's there there you go and I might see if I can well maybe I'll just leave to because some are kind of you know shabby chic so that's two different styles okay you can see the glitter a little bit okay everyone that's about it I'll see you next time have a great week bye
