Hi everyone! Today I've got another video to share in my new DIY Embellishments series. We are going to pick up right where we left off earlier this week from my previous video. You can click here to see it.
Now, since I started this new series on making your own DIY embellishments, I've had questons from viewers about what to do with them. I have mentioned a few ideas in my previous videos, but today I am going to start off with some actual visual ideas, and then I will alter a mini composition book cover with ColourArte Primary Elements Artiste Pigments and Silks Acrylic Glaze, and then paint some of these smaller pieces shown earlier.
ColourArte Supplies Used:
Primary Elements Artiste Pigments:
Solar Gold
Sea Glass
Black Emerald
Silks Acrylic Glaze

The Solution Acrylic Wash Medium
Other Supplies Used:

Decorative print paper
Liquitex white gesso

I hope I have been able to give you some ideas and inspiration for using these fun DIY embellishments, and hopefully peaked your interest in making your own embellishments from things you probably already have in your craft stash.

Steampunk Key Wall Art with Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts
Hi everyone! I'm in a steampunk mood! I just got this Key Wall Art Heart in the mail, and now I'm chomping at the bit to make something with it. I had to first decide if I wanted to put it on a canvas or let it stand alone. Well, you can see what choice I made below.
So, the first thing you need to do is remove any pieces that didn't fall out. I just use a piercing tool for this step. A craft knife works well, too. I just had a few little pieces to remove.
Next we need to prime the chipboard, and for that, I'm going to use black gesso. It will seal the chipboard surface and let me use less of my more expensive paint I'll be using for the next layer, which is also black on the key.
Paint key portion with two coats of Metal Smith Iron paint, letting first coat dry before applying the second coat. This paint contains real iron particles.
Following directions on the bottle, spritz the key with the Rusty Activator while the second coat is still tacky. Wait five minutes and spritz again. It may take up to two hours for rusting to occur. So set this piece aside and work on the heart piece.
Paint the heart section with Metal Smith Bronze paint, letting the first coat dry before applying the second coat. This paint contains real metal particles.
Following directions on the bottle, spritz the heart with the Green Patina Activator while the second coat is still wet. Patinization occurs gradually while drying.
Choose one of the Dragonflies Fancy and paint it with the Bronze Metal Smith paint and use the Green Patina Activator. I painted both sides of dragonfly since part of it will be hanging over the key and may be seen. After the patina formed, I decided to paint the wings with the Metal Smith Malachite paint, then I used the Turquoise Patina Activator to get a rich blue patina with a bit of the bronze patina peeking through.
I painted one end of a bamboo skewer with Bronze and used the Green Patina Activator. The other end I painted with Malachite and used the Turquoise Patina Activator.
Glue the heart piece over the matching area on the key. Use an awl to make a hole in the center of the key, as shown, large enough for the skewer to fit into.
Cut a piece of the Chainlink to fit behind the heart opening. Use Vintage Gold metallic wax over chainlink piece.
Glue the chainlink over the opening on the back of the key.
Here is what it should look like at this point.
Glue dragonfly to key, as shown. The skewer adds just enough lift to adhere the dragonfly above the wrapped wires, too.
I added metal embellishments to the key, as shown. Here are some close-ups of those areas.
Supplies Used:
GSL Key Wall Art Heart
GSL Dragonflies Fancy
GSL Propellers
GSL Chainlink 8 by 8 Inch Panel
Miss Lillian's Metal Smith Paints
Bronze
Iron
Malachite
Rusty Activator
Green Patina Activator
Turquoise Patina Activator
Aleene's Fast Grab Tacky Glue
Liquitex black gesso
Metal gears and embellishments
Bamboo skewer
Assorted brushes
Vintage Gold Art Alchemy Metallique Wax (Prima)
Vintaj brass twisted wire 21 gauge
I hope you enjoyed my project today, and that you may be inspired to make one of these wall art pieces for yourself.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you have a super crafty day!

Following directions on the bottle, spritz the heart with the Green Patina Activator while the second coat is still wet. Patinization occurs gradually while drying.
To get random areas of blue patina, I painted random spots with the Bronze Metal Smith paint again, and while still wet, I dribbled the Turquoise Patina Activator over the wet paint.
Paint one of the Propellers with the Metal Smith Malachite paint, letting the first coat dry before applying the second coat. This paint contains real metal particles, too. Before the second coat dries, spritz with the Turquoise Patina Activator.
I painted one end of a bamboo skewer with Bronze and used the Green Patina Activator. The other end I painted with Malachite and used the Turquoise Patina Activator.
Glue the heart piece over the matching area on the key. Use an awl to make a hole in the center of the key, as shown, large enough for the skewer to fit into.
Stick the propeller onto the pointed end of the skewer and trim off at around 1/2" to 3/4".
Remove propeller and glue skewer into hole, as shown.
Glue the propeller to the pointed end of the skewer. Gently bend two opposing propeller blades downward for realism. I added a small gear on top of the propeller after the glue dried. See close-up photo near end of post.
Cut a piece of the Chainlink to fit behind the heart opening. Use Vintage Gold metallic wax over chainlink piece.
Glue the chainlink over the opening on the back of the key.
Here is what it should look like at this point.
Wrap a piece of twisted wire around the key, as shown.
Cut a piece of the bronze-painted end of the skewer the size of the dragonfly body and glue it, as shown.
Glue dragonfly to key, as shown. The skewer adds just enough lift to adhere the dragonfly above the wrapped wires, too.
I added metal embellishments to the key, as shown. Here are some close-ups of those areas.

Today, I will show you how I used the plastic packaging from products I purchased as molds. If I liked the shape, whether a circle, rectangle, heart, square, etc., I put it to use. These make excellent substrates for your embellishments, and I even decided to use one of them as a key holder. But what they all have in common is that I used ColourArte Primary Elements powdered pigments an Vivid Ultra Metallics to bring them to life.
So please check out my video tutorial for some fun ideas, and hopefully spark some inspiration with you!
ColourArte Supplies Used:
Primary Elements Powder Pigment
Guatemalan Green
Merlot
Bronze Medallion
Hot Cinnamon
Vivid Ultra Metallics
China Black
True Silver
The Solution Acrylic Wash Medium
Other Supplies Used:
DecoArt Media Matte Medium

Print Napkin for decoupaging
Plastic product packaging
Activa Permastone Casting Compound
Ranger Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE)
Heat tool
Ranger Black Puffs Embossing Powder
Ranger Crackle Accents
Ki Memories Gloo (or any metal glue)
Miss Lillian's Azure Embellishing Butter
Metal keyholes, buttons, hitch fastener

Vintage Sewing Thank You Card
Hi everyone! Barbara Rankin here today on the Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts blog. You know, there's nothing better than laser cut chipboard for adding dimension to your greeting cards without adding lots of bulk and height. But don't stop there, it's also great for adding layers and cool shapes to all your scrapbooking and mixed media pieces.
First I cut up a piece of pink card stock to make a 5-1/2" square card. Then I trimmed blue chevron paper to measure 5-1/4" square, and used a distressing tool to rough up the edges. Set the pink card aside for now.
Using one of the small zipper chippies, trace around it with a pencil, then cut a "V" shape in the paper inside the lines, as shown. I cut approximately 1/8" inside the lines.
Paint the outer edges of the zipper, first with a coat of Blue Green Light, which is opaque, then after that dries, paint a coat of Cobalt Teal Hue, which is transparent, over that. Paint the zipper teeth and zipper pull with a silver leafing pen.
You can use the Translucent White to give the color a more pastel look, just by adding a light wash over the zipper edges.
Glue zipper to blue chevron paper. Add a small piece of pink flower print paper beneath the zipper opening, distressing the outer edge to match the blue chevron layer.
Add a detail to the zipper pull with the Viva Décor Silver Pearl Paint Pen.
Tear white doily in half and adhere to right side of blue chevron paper. Tear blue flower print paper in half and adhere both strips over torn edge of doily, and tear a few more strips of the pink flower print paper to the card front, as shown.
Cut out two printed decorative portions from one of the sheets and adhere to card, as shown below.
Cut away a small section from the Posey Panel. Color each posey with a combination of the Titanium White plus Quinacridone Violet (purple flower), Titan Buff plus Diarylide Yellow (pale yellow flower), Titanium White plus Primary Magenta (pink flower) and last flower with only Titan Buff. Cover all flowers with a wash of the Translucent White. Let dry between coats. Then use Faber Castell Pitt Pens in Light Skin over all the flowers except the yellow one. Cover that one with Cadmium Yellow. This will color the Translucent White paint and give it a shaded effect.
Paint the body of one of the dress forms from the Dressforms 1 Miniature Shape Set the same way as the zipper edges and then color the dress form stand with a Pitt Big Brush Pen in Nougat.
Adhere the dress form and poseys to the card front, as shown.
Glue these pieces over the posey panel, as shown, for added dimension.
Supplies Used:
GSL Dressforms 1 Miniature Shape Set
GSL Zippers (Coming Soon)
GSL Posey Panel
Lavender 6x6 Paper Pad (My Mind's Eye)
White Doily
DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics
Blue Green Light
Cobalt Teal Hue
Translucent White
Diarylide Yellow
Quinacridone Violet
Primary Magenta
Titan Buff
Faber-Castell Big Brush Pen
Nougat
Viva Decor Pearl Paint Pen - Silver
I know we all love those flower filled cards that end up requiring a box to mail them in, if you cannot hand deliver them. This, to me, is an awfully beautiful alternative while still fitting in an envelope, and may only require a small amount of extra postage. So, I hope I've inspired you to make some beautiful cards with your laser cut chipboard pieces, and like I said, they are fabulous on your scrapbook layouts and in your mixed media projects.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a super crafty day!

Add tiny details to the drop pendants with the Viva Decor Silver Pearl Paint Pen.
I decided to cut a few more poseys from the Posey Panel and paint the same way as the zipper and dress form.
Glue these pieces over the posey panel, as shown, for added dimension.
Add some bling to the posey centers, as shown.
Trim one of the less busy patterned papers from the pad to 5-1/4" square. I chose the wood grain paper for the inside of my card, and computer-generated the sentiment "Thanks Sew Much!".
Add a strip of lace along the top edge to finish the card off.
