Step x step with Delaina (revised)

Posted on April 26, 2012 by Manor House Creations

(OUR APOLOGIES – THIS POST PUBLISHED WITH WORDPRESS FAULTS, SO WE HAVE RE-PUBLISHED IT)

* * *

Hello,

Its Delaina with you today. Thanks for taking the time to check out the step by step canvas I created this month. Manor House Creations make it easy to produce a beautiful project.

* * *

1. The first step is to paint a thin coat of cream acrylic paint over your canvas, and allow it to completely dry.

2. Cover a mask with modeling paste. I have used a scrolly mask in each corner, and have only covered portions of it in a few places. Allow to completely dry.

3. I have used pink, beige and green paint here. I simply used a small paint brush and smeared streaks of the color onto the canvas. TIP: If you feel you have added too much color, paint over those areas with the cream paint you started with.

4.  Add a 4×6 photo, after popping it up with pop dots.

5. Attach the beautiful Manor House Creations flowers with liquid glue.

6.  I then fussy cut some flowers and leaves from the Scrap cake collection ‘One moment in time’, I then adhered those aroung the flowers as shown

6. Add some butterflies, and your title, and you canvas is ready to frame.

Products used: MHC Marguerite-mocha, Beauty-off white, Merangue-pin, TSC-One moment in time.

I hope you enjoyed this step by step as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Happy Scrapping!

Step by step with Delaina

Posted on January 28, 2012 by Manor House Creations
Hello Everyone! Delaina here today with a step by step layout. I created this page using the gorgeous flowers from the Summer collection. I am in love with each and every one and I know you will be too.

I created this page using:

* Country Lane Charm,

* Blossoms – Airlie, Byron & Esperance,

* Cutie Pies - Pink.

 

 I want to show a little paint technique on this page using a few colors of Puffy Paint…
I then used this MS Punch and punched the scalloped shapes..2 White and 2 Yellow. I then adhered the yellow to the white as seen below…
I used the Little Yellow Bicycle, Elizabeth Lane Collection….Cut the Grey paper 4″ X 12″ and then the Border Title Strip…
You will need a 5″ White paper Doily, Pearl Blings,  Journal piece cut from the LYB paper, Floral with Vine cut  from the LYB Papers…
Follow the steps pictured  below to place the Products on your LO… I used 3 small photos…
The Next thing I added to this page was the Paint Dots…I randomly used the colors to accent the flowers…an easy step that makes a statement with colorful detail…
After adding the paint, I felt it needed a little more detail so I added the journal piece next to the photos, the Butterflies and scalloped white Lace under the title border strip….I accented the Lace with Pearl Blings and then added a piece of Twine just above the Pearls…
Now it feels complete to me…

Step x step tutorial by Delaina.

Posted on October 21, 2011 by Manor House Creations

STEP 1:

Natural Beauty Paper… Cut a 8 ½ “ Circle from the Center and the Fussy Cut the Flower Images from this Paper… Ink the Edges with brown ink

Step 2:

Dear Diary Paper… Cut a 9 ½ “ Circle… Ink the Edges with brown ink.

Step 3:

7 X 12 size—Love Letters Paper—Cut the Images Out as seen Below… I made the pink scalloped piece by using the scallop on the image as a template… then Ink the Edges of all with brown ink

Step 4:

You need a 4 x 6 Photo with a piece of Cardstock and Cardboard for the back, so the photo pops up a little (you could use pop dots of you prefer)…make sure the cardstock and cardboard are smaller that the photo… (the cardstock is acid free to protect the photo)

Adhere all pieces as seen below…

Step 5:

Layer Process Begins…

Stack the Circles, largest on bottom, and adhere them together, then adhere them to the Center of the Full Pockets Paper.

Add photo and scallop paper as seen below…

Step 6:

Adhere remaining pieces around photo that you was from the 7 X 12 Love Letters Paper…as seen below…

Step 7:

Flowers… Attach flowers using a wet glue in the order as shown in the photos below…

Step 8:

Add the Flower pieces cut from the Natural Beauty Paper as seen below…

Step 9:

Use the Paper Piercer to poke holes in the circle shaped paper about ½” from the outer edge…Just on the top and bottom areas that show and use the pink floss to stitch an outline shape for those areas…

Step 10:

I added a small title under the photo. You may use any Alpha you have on hand, even a little larger one would look great.

I really hope you will enjoy giving this LO a try.

Thanks for having a Look!

Introducing Delaina

Posted on September 21, 2011 by Manor House Creations

Delaina was asked to be part of the team not only because of her talent with design, her skill with fussy cutting and attention to detail, but also because she teaches techniques and step x step projects by video. We hope to show you one very soon – stay tuned.

My name is Delaina Burns. I love all things crafty and have as long as I can remember. I make draperies and bedding from home, part time, and scrap my nights, and weekends away. I live in a small town in Alabama with my husband of 27 years. I have 2 children, both of which are pretty grown up and preparing to leave the nest soon. I have a new kind of life approaching, so for therapy, I plan to play with gorgeous flowers, beautiful patterned papers, buttons and trims of all kinds. I have been scrapbooking for 5 years and have been fortunate enough to be on many different design teams and had several magazine and ezine publications. I adore teaching and turning others on to this craft that brings me so much pleasure. I feel blessed and excited to be included on this fantastic team.

Feast your eyes on Delaina’s very first MHC layout. The outlining, the stitching, and yes, there’s that fussy-cutting she is so clever at.

Products used: TSC Spring Awakening collection. MHC flowers: Tiana-white, The Tropics – Dusk & By the pool, Ballroom – Waltz.

Welcome Delaina!
