DCWV-Tombow USA Blog Hop- Day 2

Hi and Welcome to the Gold and Cork Blog Hop with Tombow USA and DCWV! 

We have 2 days full with gorgeous projects using GOLD and CORK! You probably came here from Lisa Lahiff's  blog but if you happened to stumble across my blog go to the  DCWV Blog to start! 

For my project today I created a scrapbook page. I used the The DCWV Gilded Stack, a 4x4 Cork Stack. I adore the patterns and colours in this stack! The background is the reverse side of one of the papers, so it's actually double sided!

To adhere my rings down, I used the Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue. The layers are all held down with Tombow Xtreme Adhesiver. This adhesive works amazingly!! It does really well with the cork layers as well!! And finally I used the NEW Tombow Foam Tape to adhere my photo and give a bit of depth to my page. I LOVE layers and dimension, and this adhesive helped me to achieve that!

***********************************************************************

Shabby Chic Birdhouse With DCWV

Hello all!!! Spring...  was really hoping it was on it's way... but now they are calling for another 30-45 cm of snow this weekend!!! Will it ever end?? LOL!!

However, I was feeling pretty "springy" when I created this project!!  DCWV has recently come out with DIY Project Stacks!! For the beginner crafter, they are fabulous, because they give you everything you need, including instructions!! For the more advanced crafter, they give you a basic design and then it is up to YOU to make it into something more!!! They are awesome!
The stack I used for this project is called Butterflies and Birds. It comes with 3 template sheets, 22 double sided card stock (many with a gorgeous pattern!) and 16 perforated sheets... that make over 800 butterflies! This is a super fun stack! And the colours are TO DIE FOR!!!

I used a birdhouse template that is included with this stack and traced them onto the papers I used... also in the stack. I used ScorTape to adhere it together and then inked the edges using Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko Vintage Sepia ink to add a distressed look to the edges. Then came the fun of decorating it!!!

 I used some Want2Scrap pearls,  May Arts Lace, Cosmo Cricket tiny Text word strips, Spellbinders die template...and of course the butterflies from this DCWV Stack.

I added some twine to the top so that I can hang it if I decide that I want to. :)

This simple birdhouse has SOOO many options when it comes to personalizing it!! I think If I do one again I will begin with a cardboard base so that I have a more sturdy birdhouse for longer. Because I REALLY like the look of it!!!
This DIY Project Stack, along with 7 others are available at  JoAnn Stores.  So unfortunately we can not get them here in Canada... but if you CAN get them, do so! It's so worth it!! Check out the DCWV blog to see the other fabulous DIY stacks that are available!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!!
Until next time...
Happy Creating!!
