 Hello again everybody, it's Eva here and today I'm coming with video where I will be using decoupage book. I found in my stuff two decoupage books from Studio Light and I do have them for many months and I totally forgot I've got them and I think they are perfect to use, not just for cards, you can make cards using all these die cuts which are inside in those on those pages, but you can also make a very easy way, beautiful decorations for your journal and today I'm coming to share with you my process video where I am using only two sheets from one of these books and I hope you will enjoy it. So for today's creation I'm gonna try to use one of these books, I do have these books I think already a year in my stuff, these are from Studio Light and they are beautiful pre-cut books and you can create Christmas cards with these die cuts, I think it's called it that way somehow that way and I do have these two and I decided to create clusters or decorative elements for my journals because I really love the look, it's already pre-cutted and I'm gonna challenge myself, I'm terrible with cards so I'm gonna be using them for my journals as another material, I'm gonna be using this beautiful craft card or craft paper which will hopefully go nicely with these designs with both of them, yeah I do believe it will be great and also these old book pages I do have in my stuff, it's from books I used a long time ago and I saved those pages and I do have here my t-box so hopefully that will be in use as well and also I do have here tin with my Christmas dies and somehow forgot here this one so Christmas dies like this so hopefully something from this I'm gonna be using as well and also look at that I do have here oh nice so maybe something from that I'm gonna be using as well but especially which one I do love both I have to say look at this this is gorgeous but this is kind of like you know classical yeah classical hey classical Christmas Nordic winter well I do love both so because Christmas is really close I'm gonna be using this and winter is in us in another time what is perfect on these mini books that all those pieces are already pre-cutted so you don't have to grab your scissors and fussy cut out yourself all these images you can just pop out all these mini cards and use them for your for your art and that's perfect I'm terrible with my scissors and the fussy cutting is not my favorite thing therefore these books are actually perfect and I already tried to use to use these pre-cut pieces in one of my journals it's not finished yet but I'm kind of working on it and it's in this Christmas uh Christmas daily so these are also from kind of like decoupage kit these pieces and I try to use them a little bit different way than they probably supposed to be used so something like that I want to create using these pieces so I'm gonna punch these little embellishments from that first card and then I will try and if you do have books like this if you do have decoupage kits do not rid off the negative this leftover because I do believe we can use that as well somehow it's same like with dice I mostly use also negative from my die cutting because that can gives me beautiful shape so then I can create beautiful windows for my for my journals so I do believe it can be used here as well maybe not exactly same way but maybe it will be what we need to create amazing clusters look at that it's gorgeous isn't it so I do have my first leftover which I'm gonna use straight away I'm gonna rip it off from my book very carefully if I will be not careful I can ruin the frame and I already have frame here so I'm gonna grab two frames I already have two frames here so I'm gonna grab my scissors and with my scissors I'm gonna cut this we do have one frame and here we do have another frame and I can actually keep it with the bottom part so we do have two buttons we do have two hearts one and somewhere where that second one which is not here here second one two one two what is this oh I guess this supposed to be like background and here it's actually the look of your card this is base that was from this frame here in the corner it was so this is base and with all these pieces including these I supposed to get together this part kind of like this card that's actually perfect happy new year oh I can choose if I will place that happy new year or Merry Christmas and it says to make six complete cards so one page two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve so which means I do have two sheets for one card if I will you know go with the pattern they are offering but I'm definitely not gonna do that I'm gonna take my book pages and I'm gonna glue my frames onto those book pages and I would like to have here something different than its book page so I'm gonna grab one of my one of my washi tapes and first I'm gonna place my washi tape under that book page somewhere here okay here I need to remember where probably I would be and I'm gonna place that this so I do have some writing now I can place oh good it will be actually perfect so I'm gonna grab my glue glue it put the glue on my frame with my scissors I'm gonna be fussy cutting around that frame not exactly I'm gonna keep their small gap between frame and you know my fussy cutting so I can see also the writing on my book page around the frame or piece of that book page around the frame like this from here good and I'm gonna continue same way with the other part that I will glue them on the book pages it will be same so all this white piece I'm gonna cover with glue and put their book pages and then we will go from that so I do have glued my offcuts and I already fussy cut out this frame from this side so I do have another frame a large one and then I do have this kind of like offcuts so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna try maybe it will don't go well with every single one but few of them I can fussy cut out around like I'm gonna start with this it looks like snowflake so I'm gonna carefully try to follow ish that pattern but keep that green paper around with the ish same amount all around so it will be like I glued their die cut you know die cut of that snowflake if it was I think it wasn't even snowflake I'm not sure now what picture was there like this and I do have another decorative element for my embellishing whatever I'm gonna do with this so here can be another one like a label and it's already framed if I will be successful to fussy cut out that way like this and I can use it as my decoration so same way I'm gonna try few more shapes if something will remind me something hearts definitely hearts and this flower and this label as well and this is nice and strong piece I know it's just left over but I do believe I can use that so this was here originally so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna kind of like fold it and I can glue it not exactly as it was it was probably somehow this one oh that was this one oh see this was different flower uh-huh it was from here what I'm doing there was this gold one so I can use this red one and glue it over it and I will have kind of like double layer before I will do so I'm gonna choose my distress ink for this project and it will be vintage photo because I love that vintage look of that distress ink and I'm gonna add this stress ink even inside on my book page not just on the edges of this die cut and now the edges and same ink I'm gonna used on edges of this red flower and I think I'm gonna cut a little bit to the leaves as they are going on this flower and hope for the best that I will do nice layer a little bit dimension layer for gluing these parts together I'm gonna choose a hot glue gun it's drying fast and I kind of hope that the layer of that glue underneath will gives also dimension for my flower here so I'm gonna continue with fussy cutting my pieces now these hearts so before I will put my little pieces together I'm gonna be working a little bit more on these large pieces these are already backed with that book page and they are still very soft I'm gonna back them with this craft paper but before I will do so I'm gonna use the sewing machine and add their sewing effect and I was thinking this I can actually use for more decorations so I'm gonna just re-pick off and one more time you know to do kind of like a collection of same decorations so they can be used in one journal because they will have similar colors kind of same style gonna get up my scissors fold this half and just cut and I'm gonna do same with all these pieces now I do have these pieces also decorative parts and I do have book pages so before I will do anything else I'm gonna do exactly same like with those frames I'm gonna grab book pages and use my little pieces on the book pages and then add to all these pieces sewing effect so I do have my sewing effect all around of these pieces and I'm gonna grab my craft card stock and use that craft or craft paper and use that craft paper to make all these pieces much more stronger and this one I think I'm gonna cut all this strip so I'm gonna start with this bar it does have three and one quarter of inch size here which way it should go this way it should go it does have three and one quarter too so I'm gonna cut the piece three and three eighths should be I'm gonna fold it fold it half I'm gonna grab my decorative piece first I'm gonna punch the corners because these corners here are rounded this will be too small I do have here this corner punch so I'm gonna be using that medium yeah I think that can be okay I'm gonna grab my card and add the glue on three sides I'm gonna make it like a loaded mini card like pocket mini card loaded from the top there will be space where I can slide the tag so I'm gonna place this one here therefore from the top I can slide the tag in there and I think I can take some decorations from here tell me why not maybe this one I just don't like that top so I'm gonna cut it off pardon me grant distress the edges and give there some some texture I'm thinking either lace or piece of cheesecloth I think that cheesecloth I will rather use so I did finish the decoration my battery just switched off I'm so sorry so I had to wait till my battery will get again top up or powered up and meanwhile I glued down the cheesecloth those clocks that background bow and then this is die die cut tim holds very old die die with all kinds of Christmas wintery these leaves and I think it's there also pine cone and this was actually in there in those pieces I pull out I just used my embossing tool this one I fold over a flipped the circle which one I'm gonna take I'm gonna take this this is that button so I took my embossing tool and it just pressed the inside to make it kind of dimensional not sure if you will see that to make it a little bit dimensional and then I glued that using a hot glue gun that's why these are a little bit popped up and here I used there was this Christmas bubble decorative bubble and again tim holds dies this is new one or I know it's not new one I think it's from last year or year before from dies and this one is that old one so I just added a few dies this is actually off cut from here from some piece and underneath I do have book page and then piece of lace and we can continue together so I do have here a few die cuts because I would like to add there some greenery which I was missing in these pullouts or I'm not sure how to tell so what is it so I do have here that point set here so what I'm gonna try I'm gonna add there some of that greenery because I think it will look great picker do I have a little bit bigger maybe this one oh this one can look good and maybe some of these tim holds pieces so I'm gonna do here little Christmas layout for this one it's much much better make it this leaf right here this one that way and now point set here I'm gonna press it with my hot glue gun kind down and let it dry that way the layout should be a little bit dimensional I'm gonna let it dry and then I will use it and I do have here another of these banners and this is one of these off cuts from here I just used stamp and I stamp it a little bit I do have here cheesecloth or I do have here also this lace which I used on that banner before so maybe here I can use it as well cut this one slightly shorter and I'm gonna add it here so first lace then that banner and something decorative so what we have here I can place there I also made a kind of layer using a foam double sided tape and few pieces of cardstock to make a dimensional pop-up topper where I do have that book page heart with that frame around which I created and then the heart which was in that collection so I think this can be right here and I do have more of these so I'm gonna decorate them same way I'm gonna mix it with the things I do have here and I can add there also a washi tape or maybe some stamp but I like this washi tape it does have beautiful decorative you know look so I'm gonna add here that washi tape I think I can use also this Merry Christmas here or just my decorative layer that I see down here and again I'm pushing to that layer slightly down so with that pushing it's kind of pulling those leaves up so that way it will be dimensional and here I'm not sure if I should place there something I think maybe I do have some and this is too big this can be here just clipped together if I will want so you know some Christmas in some vintage beautiful vintage picture so then I continued with all that rest of these pieces I tried to make small layouts which I will be using on the banners and on those frames I have to say that I did enjoy it so much it was so much fun and it's actually very easy to put all these pieces together because they are made to be put together even my die cuts which I made using Tim Holtz dies they went really well together with all those pieces from the Coupage kit and I have to say that it looks so amazing it was very easy craft very relaxing craft so if you ever bought these decoupage books or decoupage kits and you have them somewhere in your drawer maybe now it's time to pull them out because it's really very relaxing craft you don't have to print out anything you don't have to fussy cut out anything if you don't want to and you can create really beautiful beautiful cards or banners or tags for your journals and it's really fun to put these pieces together I did use exactly same layers the same layering technique that I made basic layers and then I added those small pieces the way I thought it will be look really nice on these basics on those banners and tag and frames and what I have created you can see in the end of this video and I hope you will try it with your with your kits and with the books maybe you have and this is what I've got from first two pages from this beautiful decoupage decoupage book by studio light and I have to say it's it's so much fun to put these pieces together and as you can see I do have there a lot of more so I'm gonna try to put something together using these pieces and you will see the result on
