Brightly Gleaming Projects

I've really enjoyed our beautiful Brightly Gleaming Suite.  I've made some German Bells, a card and a decorated Copper Tea Tin to share with you today.  Enjoy!

I heat embossed the holly sprig on top of my Copper Tea Tin using Copper Embossing Powder (EP).  I've played around with embossing on this tin and I've had the best luck with the smaller, rubber stamps.  The larger stamps did not cover as well - parts were missing - and the photopolymer stamps did not want to stamp on it at all.  Anyway, that was my experience.

I'll share more about the card in my next post.

This would make a really nice gift set.

Christmastime Is Here Decor Project

I have this wonderful frame with 5 sections and I've been using it for a long time now to showcase some of my favorite new products ... DSP, embellishments, dies, stamps, ribbons, etc.  It's a lot of fun to change it out 2 or 3 times a year.  When our Christmastime Is Here Suite came out, I knew it would be perfect for this frame.  Here's what I created.

German Bells Tutorial

Here's my tutorial for making German Bells.  They are fun and easy and I really hope you'll give them a try.  Our Feels Like Frost DSP has foil on one side and that seemed to be the easiest of our papers to work with for this project.
NOTE:
I folded all the folds, except for the 'airplane fold' forward and backward, using a bone folder to press every fold.  This really helps to create good creases.
- Begin with a 6" square of DSP.
- Fold in half horizontally and vertically.

- Now, you'll have criss-cross fold lines on your square. 

- Fold in half diagonally, from corner to corner - both ways. 

- Now, you'll have criss-cross fold lines diagonally, as well. 

- Now, make an 'airplane fold' at all four corners. 

- This is the shape you'll be creating, once you've done all four corners. 

- Coax it into a bell shape.  Once you've done one, you'll have an easier time of knowing which folds to coax up and which to coax down.  Be patient.  It works:)

- I'm holding this one closed, so you can see how it comes together.  You'll need to glue it into place.  Don't forget to add a ribbon so you can hang it up.  I cut a piece of ribbon about 6 or 7" long, looped it and tied a knot in the end.  
- Add the ribbon loop right before you glue the last section in place. 

- Here's what the bottom looks like. 

- Another view:

Now you can use them to decorate for Christmas.  They look cute as a banner or on a Christmas tree.  They would look pretty hanging in a window, too.

German Bells

I recently found the directions for making German Bells.  They fascinated me, but they seemed a lot like the many Origami projects I'd tried in the past and didn't go well.  But ... they kept drawing me back over and over again, until I decided to try them.  What did I have to lose but a little time and a 6" square of DSP?  I gave it a try and it worked!  I loved making them!  Now, I can't stop making them.  Here are some of the bells I made using our Brightly Gleaming DSP.  Coming soon, I'll post a pictorial tutorial for making them.
