My Lovely Friends,

BG project and Tree tutorial

over at Basic Grey our challenge this week is too use
 things from around the house
of course still use a BG product too,

this is again a long post so you may want a brew first lol,

I have used Basic Grey Wisteria papers,
 A Birdhouse and a MDF piece of shelving






all my images have been coloured with copics, cut out and fixed using an L shape made out of acetate,


This picture hasn't got the sun on it and hasn't got the added ribbon on the base too lol,

The roof is made using  a Magnolia Doo Hickey doily lace die which I have cut several times then staggered the layers so the design didn't all line up in the same place,
the window frames are cut using a Nestie die, then I have cut out a square inside for the window this has acetate behind and some lace  for curtains lol, both sides are done the same,

the front door is made again using a different nestie then cutting an oblong out the middle, I then cut a same size oblong out of contrast paper for the door, I have attached a Tim Holtz Ideology fastener too  for the door handle, I cut out the oblong from the frame as I wanted the door to look inset into the frame and if I had just stuck paper on top that wouldn't have happened lol,
the snow icicles on the roof are are made using a Martha Stewart punch,

Tree tutorial
my tree is made up using a Tim Holtz alterations pine tree die which I have cut out of card stock 4 times, two with the card the front facing up and two on the other side, if your card stock is the same on both sides you don't need to do this

here  is my 4 cut out trees and now I want to score them in the middle, I use my scor- pal,

Line up your trees at the top of one of the lines on your scor board and score carefully down the tree, try to get your score lines on all your pieces roughly in the same place, make sure the face side of  your card stock is facing you, as picture,

Now fold the trees along the scored line to look like these above, take your time,

Stick two of the trees together on one scored side with a wet glue so you can position the edges together as near as possible before it dries, leave to dry properly do the same with the other two pieces as shown,

Whe dry adhere the two tree halves together to form a 3D tree, again leave to dry,

on this one I have used another time to follow later, I have shortened the base a little too,



You can now dress this up as much or as little as you want, I lightly coated my tree with white acrylic paint, let it dry then  sprayed my tree with perfect pearls mist and added lots of glamour dust,
the  garland on the  tree is made using some beads from stash, threaded onto some white stretchy stuff used for jewellery making, sorry have lost what it's called lol,
I have used tiny amounts of  Diamond glaze to set the beads in place,



You follow the same steps for the Tim Holtz Alterations  Holiday Lamppost as the trees,
decorate as desired,
I edged  my lamppost edges with vintage photo distress ink and the same perfect pearls and Glamour Dust ,
to finish I covered my MDF shelf piece with the same perfect pearls mist and added loads of Pin Flair ice Diamond glitter,

PHEW! Still with me
