Stamperia Fun with Rice Paper and Mica Powders

Hello everyone.  It is Olivia here and today I am bring you a quick tutorial on how to create some items with Rice Paper. Fotobella offers some gorgeous selections from Stamperia and I am featuring three different projects that contain Rice Paper.  The first is a decorated box, then a tag and finally a card.

I bought a box from the craft store and but a layer of gesso on the top. Then I used Prima Mica Powders , Green, Sunny Yellow and Summer Sky.  I then spritzed it with water and let it dry.

I then added a thin layer of modpodge and added the Rice Paper, called Wonderland Fantasy Decoration.  One of the many thing I loved about this sheet was that it had multiple images on the rice paper.  I used the stencil with some Bo Bunny Glitter Paste to add some texture.  The final touch was the metal butterfly and dragonfly that I used purple wax on it to change the color. 

For the next project, I used a die and cut out a tag. Then it was sponged with Distress Inks to created the background.  I cut out the fairy and one of the butterflies from the Wonderland Fantasy Decoration sheet and glued it onto the tag. 

For the card, I used the Rice Paper, Hortensia and Dragonfly. I trimmed the paper down to 4 x 5/14 and glued it via ModPodge onto a cardbase. I also cut out the dragonfly and added it onto the flowered image.

Today is National Donut Day!

It's National Donut Day!  

National Doughnut (Donut) Day originally began as a way to celebrate the female volunteers for the Salvation Army who were serving doughnuts to soldiers in the 1st World War. These ladies were known as "The Doughnut Lassies". 

Today it has become a national phenomenon, with many of the country’s top donut shops offering special deals (or free donuts) to commemorate the holiday! 

*(see link below for deals).

ReNae here, with the FotoBella Design Team, and since I love making cards, and I love donuts, I decided to try my hand at a Donut Card!  These cards were fun and easy to make, and the paper I chose from Stamperia made the Donut Cards look great!

These papers are all so beautiful and the beautiful 

Stamperia Wonderland paper 

was perfect to use as the icing on the Donuts!

 I used it on the inside sentiment too!

Here are my finished Donut Cards 

These were so fun to make I made TWO!  

Look at how perfect the pink Stamperia paper is for the icing!

To make my Donut Cards:

I used a 4" Circle Die, a small

1 1/2"circle die for the Donut hole, and a 3 1/2"

Scalloped Circle Die for the icing.

I cut 2 donut shapes, and 1 icing shape for each card.

Stamped the sentiments with a stamp from my stash,

 and glued the two pieces together.

I adhered seed beads on the icing 

and punched a "bite" from the side of the donut 

with a scalloped circle punch.

Easy!

Arent they adorable?  They look good enough to eat!
