Fallout Themed Altered Bottle Caps Nuka Cola, Nuka Quantum and Sunset Sarsaparilla.

Hello all

I am back with another set of props from the game Fallout. The various games use a few different currencies to trade goods and caps are one of the main currencies from the series whether they be Nuka Cola or Sunset Sarsaparilla. 

DecoArt Multi-Surface Paint in Red Hot,Dark Scarlet,Cobalt,and True Blue.
Bottle caps
Sand paper
Caps print out
Circle punch 1.5 inch
Strong glue Best Glue Ever
You can find all the caps printouts here https://www.deviantart.com/emptysamurai/art/Sunset-sarsaparilla-caps-202580432

Print out the caps using this sheet.

 I sanded the caps with sandpaper and then used DecoArt multi-surface paints.

I used two shades of red for the Nuka Cola and Sunset Sarsaparilla caps. This is so you get a grungy layered look when you sand back a bit of the paint.

I used a 2inch circle punch to get the tops of the caps round. I the sanded them down a little to distress them.

I used a mixture of Tim Holtz Vintage Photo and Tea Stain to get the grungy look.

These are from Fallout New Vegas

ScraPerfect Shaker Bookmarks Flowers

Hi all

Would you like to learn how to make these fun shaker clips?

Tutorial is below.

  Start off by cutting out the pieces using a nesting die. Cut the base and top out first and then place a smaller die into the center to create a frame. Cut out two from craft foam and one from card.

 Glue the foam pieces together and then glue them to the base using Best Glue Ever. Once the glue has dried, fill the box up with sequins and micro beads.

 

Seal the box over with acetate and then glue the patterned paper frame over the top.

 

Decorate each one, i added small letters and gems to the clips. I then glued them onto large paperclips and placed some tape over the back to hold the clips in place while the glue sets.

I forgot to add in the video that i used gloss enamel on the tops of the clips to make the tops more robust. I painted the clip part and used a matte medium to seal it but whether the paint will stay on is another thing.

The Crafting pouch is good for untacking the glue and the Embellie Gellie makes picking up little bits easier.

I created these planner clips to mark the months out in my planner book.  

Here is a tutorial video

How To Create A Double Heart Shaker Card With ScraPerfect

Hello all

I have a card to share today. I used Best Glue Ever to glue the embellishments and shaker boxes together.

http://scraperfect.com/product/best-glue-ever/

Start off by cutting out one large heart from patterned paper using a nesting die. Then one  from acetate for the top. Place a smaller heart die into the centre of the larger heart and secure with washi tape. Cut out two or more from craft foam. This depends on how deep you want the shaker boxes. Cut a frame from patterned paper.

Repeat the steps using a smaller pair of nesting dies and then glue the foam frames together before gluing to the base. once the glue has set, fill the boxes and then glue the top on. Add the frame cut from pattered paper over the top to cover the glue up.

Cover a blank card with paper and then stamp a texture stamp around the edges and in the centre. Glue down the shaker boxes.

Decorate with charms and flowers which were inked with bronze mist spray.

I  have a card to share on the blog today. I used the foils with Best Glue ever to create a birdhouse themed card.

Products

Best Glue Ever

Transfer Foils

MDF Birdhouse

Acrylic paint

Lace

Resin flowers

Paper

Cover a 5 x 7 card blank with patterned paper and then cover half the card with floral print paper. Tear a strip of light pink paper and adhere across the card. Cut two flags from the patterned paper and layer them together before adhering to the card.

Add a sentiment

Paint the mdf birdhouse i teal and then use Best Glue Ever to adhere a strip of lace across the bottom and a large resin flower on the side.

Apply Best Glue Ever to the roof and window pieces and allow it to go tacky. Next take a small piece of purple foil and rub it onto the pieces with your finger. If you get a few patches just repeat the steps until it is covered. Glue the pieces together and then adhere to the card.

How To Create A Stunning Steampunk ATC

Hi all

I made an ATC or Artist Trading Card. I used mixed media products and Best Glue Ever to create this steampunk look.

http://scraperfect.com/

 Cover the ATC base with gesso and then paint with bronze paint. Using sanding paper, Sand down the first layer and leave a little showing.

Next apply the Prima Rust pastes starting with the darkest colored paste and finishing by dry brushing the lightest color over the top. Don't worry about covering the ATC from corner to corner as this adds to the effect.

                   The last layer is just a bit of Turquoise paint which i brushed on roughly.

Next i stamped out some cog images onto card and cut them out. Next i painted rust paste over the top and left them to dry. I also used small MDF cogs and i used Best Glue Ever to adhere them to the ATC. Once tacky the Best Glue Ever sticks to rough surfaces.

I added gold micro beads around the ATC

i finished off by adding a sentiment
