Live, Love, Scrap!

Designed for Oh My Crafts

Supplies Used: Blocks | My Mind’s Eye : Stella Rose Hattie/Gertie: “Family” Paper Pack | Oh My Vinyl : Walnut and Maize | Sizzix : On the Edge Die - Mini Scallop and Pinking by Tim Holtz | Tim Holtz : Distress Ink Pad - Pumice Stone | Silhouette Digital Craft Cutter | Mod Podge

Instructions:

1. With pencil, trace blocks on patterned paper, cut, distress edges and adhere onto blocks.

Tip: When adhering the paper to the blocks, make sure to adhere the paper completely. If not, the Mod Podge will cause the paper to lift off the block leaving unwanted waves and bubbles.

2. Using the Silhouette machine, prepare saying, “Live, Love, Scrap” on computer. For this project, the font was Segoe Script, with an enlarged “L”, overlapped and welded letters cut with pale yellow (maize) vinyl.
3. On the Silhouette, copy and paste your finished “Live, Love, Scrap” and with that copied image create a shadow at .8. Cut with dark brown (walnut) vinyl.
4. Layer the saying on top of its shadow.
5. Cut 3 strips of patterned paper the same width as the blocks and apply vinyl saying on each strip.
6. With dark brown vinyl, die cut 6 mini scallops and adhere across the top and bottom of the strips. Adhere to center of block.
7. Finish with a few layers of Mod Podge.
