Tutorial Tuesdays: Oddleigh Birthday Celebrations Accordion Book by Nan!

Hiya Creative Friends!
We're celebrating LeighSBDesigns 1st Birthday this month🎉  Enter the Birthday Card Contest using the provided FREEBIE for the chance to win one of 3 prizes sponsored by LeighSBDesigns, Simply B Stamps and Ike's Art!  Check out all the Birthday Celebrations HERE!  The contest ends on April 22nd, you don't want to miss it😋

PLUS, if you're a LeighSBDesigns Etsy Boutique customer already then check your Etsy Conversation inboxes, you all have received Birthday pressies🎉

The Oddleighs are having a wonderful time celebrating our 1st birthday🎉
Just look at this fabulous mixed media accordion fold book created by LeighSBDesigner Nan for today's Tutorial Tuesday segment🎉
  

1.  Create an accordion fold book from cardstock with panels that each measure 5" x 5" and add a 1/2 an inch flap on both ends.

2.  Decorate the panels with assorted stamps inked with your favorite colors.

3.  Apply soft body or craft acrylic paint with an old credit card over to each panel and let it dry.

4.  Apply white acrylic paint or gesso over Step 3 and let it dry.

5. Print out all the Oddleigh Girls, the Oddleigh Cherished Heart border, Oddleigh Flower's flowers and the Fireworks that come with both the Oddleigh July 4th and New Year sets and the Birthday Card Contest FREEBIE and color everything with markers and colored pencils.  Fussy cut all the images, except the FREEBIE, and adhere them to the book panels.

6.   Ink up the panel edges with your favorite ink pads or use acrylic paint applied with a sponge.

7.  Cut 4 pieces of cardstock measuring 7" x 7" for the front and back covers plus 2 panels of the same size from a cereal box.

8.  Emboss the front and back cardstock covers and then glue them to the cereal box panels to make the book covers nice and sturdy.

9.  Apply glue to the 1/2 inch flaps on the ends of the accordion book and attach the front and back covers.  To give the book a nice finished look cover the other side of the cereal box panels with the last 2 pieces of cardstock and hide the glued flaps.

10.  Attach 2 pieces of ribbon to the front cover of the book.  Leave enough ribbon loose on the ends to be able to wrap around the book and tie with knots or bows to keep the book closed.  Then finish off by attaching the FREEBIE image to the front cover with foam tape.

Undo the bow and enjoy the Oddleigh party🎉

LeighSBDesigns Etsy Boutique SALEbration

Today is my ONE DAY SALE!
Enjoy 40% off store wide!
excludes Freebie Bundles

Sale will end at midnight pacific!
no coupon needed!

As you can see from the SALEbration poster lil miss Oddleigh Cupcake looks awesome in bold bright Copic colours and she looks amazing done in a vintage shabby chic style too.
This was my first time using Spectrum Noir ColourTint pencils, they are sooooo much fun!

I used colours from both the Primary and Nature Spectrum Noir ColourTint sets to colour her as well as a bit of background shading to frame her.  The rest of the background was done with Tea Dye and Black Soot Distress Inks and a Tim Holtz Gothic layering stencil.

 I used a Spellbinders Shapeabilities Ironworks Accents die down the right hand side and the flowers are Spellbinders Carnation Creations dies.  I used the ColourTint pencils to make watercoloured cardstock and used that for the die cut flowers as well as the mat layer. 

I added Viva Pearl Violet Magic Transparent 3D gel to the flower centers and stamped the birthday sentiment from Tim's Crazy Talk rubber stamps down the left side in Onyx Black Versafine ink.  Cardstock distressed edges and a black folded card completes the look.

April's New Releases!

Oddleigh Cupcake Set and Birthday Cupcake

Oddleigh Cupcake is whimsically quirky and super cute!  She comes paired with 2 fun birthday themed images, a row of candles for making fun borders and backgrounds and a cupcake that is a bit different to the one she wears so sweetly on her head!

Birthday Cupcake is a fun party design that is a must have for any stamp collection!
