3 Birds Studio and Xyron!

At 3 Birds Studio, we have been hopping and sharing with Xyron all week!  What a great swap with great products!

If you haven't yet, be sure to go to the 3 Birds Blog to see how I used the Xyron Creative Station to make this little album!  I have included step by step instructions on the 3 Birds blog.

My blog post today is all about the embellishing!

As you can see there is a lot of dimension to this little album.  I honestly love adding all the details and the added dimension just adds more interest to me, which is a good thing in my book!

After finishing the cover and adding the bow, the first thing I added was a little chipboard piece that I turned into a charm to hang from the ring.  I glued a tiny punched flower to it to make it coordinate with the cover and the inside pages.

When using one ring, you can choose the way your mini album will open.  For this one, I chose to have it open vertically.

I love all the little glittery pieces that are included in the 3D sticker set and the chipboard set.  So, naturally, some of those pieces had to make it into my album.  

I added a few punched flowers and leaves to the little roses and these pages were complete.  

Ok, since I hardly ever get a picture that does the glitter justice and today I did, I had to include a close-up!!  :)  Notice that the sticker is raised?  These already have foam on the back which makes layering easy!

For these pages, I went with some more of the glittery piece, punches and another 3D embellishment.  The black circle on the top page was cut from one of the papers.  There are lots of fussy cutting options in the paper pads!

Another glitter close-up!  I was on a roll!  BUT... what I really want you to see is that little camera!  How cute, right?  There are all kinds of little shaker boxes included in the 3D embellishment collection!

The last pages combine several of the same elements that are shown on the cover and the first pages.  One last thing that I want to share with you is that I used things from both the Graceful Seasons and Midday Medley Collections.  Each collection stands alone to make beautiful projects, but also has so many coordinating elements, too!

Now...  For you...  I have some really good news!

Did you know that you can win some great products from both 3 Birds Studio and from Xyron?  

Well, you can!

Head over to the 3 Birds Blog for all the details!  

Also, don't forget to stop in at Xyron to see what their team has been up to using the 3 Birds Collection!

Finally, if you missed us on HSN yesterday, not to worry!  You can still purchase 3 Birds Products on the HSN website!

Flying Unicorn Kits

Here is my last layout made with the July Flying Unicorn Kits.

I used lots of the Authentique Papers that were included in the kit.  These are such a great match for this sweet photo.

There are so many beautiful flowers in the kit, too!  These are from Petaloo.

To finish the page and add detail, I added stitching, ribbons and stickers!

Be sure to check out the Flying Unicorn Store for all the details on how you can get your hands on all the upcoming kits!

Flying Unicorn July Kit Layout

This is another layout that I made with the Flying Unicorn July Kits.  The kits are so beautiful and have so many terrific embellishments, papers and mixed media elements.  The things you can do with them are endless!

I LOVED the script mask that was included!  It made such a beautiful back ground for my layout.  I used textured stone medium with it to get the dark color.

I layered lots of Prima Resin Pieces with the photos and used some journaling cards to frame the photos.

I also used the little pearls that are included in the kit for a touch of added detail.  The smaller ones, I set on some sequins from my stash.

Be sure to drop by the Flying Unicorn Store to get details about ordering your own kits!  Also, remember with the pre-order option, you will never miss a kit!

Flying Unicorn July Off the Page

Did you know that Flying Unicorn Kits include an off the page item each and every month?  Well, they do!  This month, a wooden boat is included.  You should see what some of the girls did with them!  Be sure to check them out on our Facebook Page, in our Forums and on the teams blogs!

I chose to make a little boat for a decor piece.  This could not only be used for a nautical theme, it would make a fun centerpiece for a summer party, a 4th of July party or even a themed birthday party.

I used the Authentique Anchored Collection to decorate my boat with.  It is perfect since it's already designed to be nautical.  The best part... you can also find it in the Flying Unicorn Store!!  Check here... Authentique Anchored Collection.

The first thing I thought of was to make a sail for my boat.  That came with a bit of thought about how to make the mast to be sure it stood up.  I used a bit of floral foam, covered it with paper and then... my Sonic drink addiction payed off!  I used a Sonic straw for the mast.  Perfect!  It's already red and all I had to do was glue a bead to the top. 

Prima white wire and little flags, in addition to the sail, finished off this section.  You can find the wire in the store, too! 

Have you seen all the new adornments in the Flying Unicorn Store?  This little anchor fit perfectly with the little boat!  You can see all the new adornments in the store here.

A few more flowers and a little wheel were the last few additons.

Don't forget to check out our Facebook page!  We love to hear from you and would love to see what you are doing with the kits!
