DT Tutorial by Maisa

Here's Maísa-

1. Paint a few chipboard frames as you prefer. I used black ink.

2. Cut a few frames out of the black Frame Wallpaper Overlay

3. Cut a strip of the Mini Brocade Overlay about 3.25 ". Use a cream cardstock for the background and adhere the turquoise strip on the left.

Place the frames according to the photos or however you like. Adhere the photos chosen in the overlays frames. 4. Choose papers and overlays of your choice. Cut a few pieces of chipboard using the frames as a template. And paste them inside the frames. I used: Mod Circles Overlay, Mod Circles Overlay, Brocade Blossom Overlay,  Lattice Overlay,  Mod Circle Paper and Bow Ties Paper.
5. Now attach the chipboard frames already filled. and decorate with a pack of Owl and Birds stickers. 
6. Add a piece of pink Washi Tape at the bottom right.  Add one piece of teal woodgrain Washi Tape on the right edge of the layout. 

7. Add  chandeliers and owl/birds stickers.  Write the title of your choice!

Baby Girl Card by Leah

A friend is having a baby girls soon, so I took the opportunity to put together a card with the adorable baby girl onesie stickers!
Hambly Supplies used:
limited edition version of "diagonal alley" paper in silver and white
antique teal blue "banners" overlay
washi tape number 2
washi tape number 3
baby girl clear sticker sheet
owls and birds kraft cardstock sticker sheet
other supplies:
grey and white twine
white cardstock
small buttons
green ink
"best wishes" stamp

To create the card, start by folding an 8.5x11 sheets of paper in half. Then cut the patterned paper (I used "diagonal alley") to 5.5"x8.5". I then created a shadowbox effect by cutting out the center of the patterned paper piece, and applying 3d foam adhesive to carefully attach the piece to my cardstock base.
From there, I lined up and cut my twine, leaving a couple of loops to add interest. Then cut three banner pieces, and two half doily pieces from the antique teal blue banner overlay to form the base of my banner and adhered them with red line tape.
I adhered the onesie stickers to white cardstock, cut them out, and attached them to the card with 3d foam adhesive dots. I finished the banner by adding washi tape "ribbons", which I created by folding the tape back on itself and cutting.
I finished by stamping my sentiment on the bottom!

Have a wonderful day!

4, Then using Glue Dots Glue lines, attach the overlay to the Bazzill Dotted Swiss cardstock matching directly behind the banners to hide the glue lines. It creates such a great and strong bond keeping the card together with just a bit of the adhesive.
5. Then, using Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue, align a piece of doily behind the heart window to create a lacy heart.
6. Then adhere a piece of kraft cardstock behind that to give the lace dimension.

DT Tutorial by Leah

Here's Leah -

Wood veneer has to be one of the hottest items for this year's scrapbooking supplies! Today I wanted to share some fun I had by adding rubons to some wooden embellishments that I had in my scrapbook stash! I decided that I wanted to dress up my banner pieces a bit to add to the bold, spring look of my card. I had fun choosing colors that reminded me of the first signs of spring when I was a kid.

Supplies you'll need:
Hambly papers, transparencies and rubons of your choice for your project.
These are the ones I used:
 - Garden Party Transparency in Teal
 - Diagonal Alley Paper
 - Kraft Label Stickers
 - Flowers and Feathers rubons in pink
 - Flowers and Feathers rubons in Yellow
 - Clear Butterfly and Floral Stickers
Ink of your choice, I chose black
paper towel
plain wooden scrapbook embellishments, I used the banner pieces from Studio Calico
Start by choosing a rubon to add to your wood piece, and applying it. There was a bit or excess hanging over the edge when I finished, so I just gently rubbed my finger along the edge to brush it off and bend it over the edge.

I chose not to ink both of the styles of rubon that I chose. I wanted the yellow to stand on it's own.
Place your wooden piece on a paper towel or other surface that's safe for the ink, and spritz it until it's covered well.

Let it sit for just a minute or two, so the ink can soak in a bit. Wood is an organic substance, so each piece will color a bit differently.
Dab the excess ink off of the wooden piece, and attach to your project!

Decorative candle jar

Hi everyone, this is Felicitas with a home decor tutorial. I want to show you a quick and easy way to create a cute candle jar:

Supply list:

• Some Hambly papers , I used Doily Decor and Wood Grain Remix
• Lace Borders
• Washi Tape #2
• Jar, Mod Podge, twine, brush and scissors

Cut some paper stripes and spray a little bit of water on it. This will make your paper more flexible. Take a thin coat of glue on the inside of the jar and let it dry a few seconds. The glue should be really sticky (not wet) when you start getting your stripes on it.  After you finished getting the stripes in the jar you should cover the inside with a coat of Mode Podge. This will protect your papers.

Cut two stripes of a matching patterned paper and sew both stripes together.

Fold this papers in half and cut it with some scissors as shown on the photo.

Cover the edge of the jar with masking tape to get a nice looking ending. Then glue the second paper piece on the top of the jar.

Embellish your home decor project with some twine. I also put some matching Hambly Rub-ons on the bottom edge. 
Last Step: grab a tee light and put it into the jar or on the top of it.

Hope you enjoyed this quick tutorial and thanks for visiting the Hambly blog today!

DT Tutorial by Jaz

Hello Everyone,

I am so excited to be here again. This time, I am hanging up something pretty and I hope to share this with you....

1) Alter a white Ikea wood hanger. Get a white doily, apply a pink frame from Family Portrait R52 onto the doily.
2) I used a doily punched out from Hambly paper "Pen & Ink" using the  Sizzix machine. Layer it behind the white doily.
3) Get a pink swirly frame* from Hambly sticker sheet as the base, use a Sizzix punched butterfly from Hambly paper "Pen & Ink" paper, this time using the back of the paper, to get a shimmering white butterfly. Add a small butterfly , using the same Hambly paper "Pen & Ink", layered on top .
4) Add embellisments and apply rub ons from Hambly Lace Borders onto the white hanger.

5) Add hooks or clips so that you can hang your favourite little mini album ;)

I hope you will have fun creating yours . I did ;)
love,
jaz

Lucky banner by Marie Ramirez

Hi all!

Today I am showing you all how to make this sweet lucky banner out of hambly goodness. It is super simple, quick and easy to make.

Supplies

• Paper trimmer with ruler (or just ruler and scissors)
• Pencil
• hole punch
• boarder punch
• heart punch
• hambly silk screened paper
• school paper (dollar tree has this)
• Pop dots
• gold sequins
• Glue
• String

1. To start you only need one sheet of the green hambly paper. It can be any green hambly. Punch hearts using your heart punch. I love this hambly pattern and the color contrast. So beautiful! (I inked the edges of all my hearts with a green ink.)

2. To assemble your clovers group 3 hearts together (or 4 but I liked the look of 3 better) using a scrap piece of paper, glue. I fashioned a stem by just cutting a sliver of the same paper. Attach a pop dot to the back.
3.Glue gold sequin to the front middle of your clover to add a little sparkle. Set aside to dry. ( I punched 30 hearts)
4. To make the banner I cut 4x5 rectangles out of the lace Hambly paper. Measure 2 inches up and 2 inches in. From the corner to the middle dot draw a line. Repeat. (I also inked the edges with green)

5. I wanted my banners to have a more layers so I used plain school paper to back it. ( 4 1/4 x 5 1/2) Glue together. Punch holes to string on both top corners.
6. Last but not least I added a small rectangle to make my 3 leaf clover pop. I punched the bottom with my lace boarder punch. Assemble all your pieces and you are done!
I hope you enjoyed this and that your banner brings you luck for many years to come!

Quick and Easy Tag Tutorial by Janna

Hello everyone, this is Janna with a quick and easy tutorial about how to create a nice and colorful tag.
All you will need to create a similar tag is: Hambly materials - clearly heavy overlay - decorative washi tape - papers: portrait gallery, little circles, coordinating paper - gold, birds on wire, pen & ink, brocade - rubons: lace borders and tag, fabrics, button, alphas, glue, sewing machine, scissors
Cut out and glue pieces of the patterned paper onto your tag, punch out a hole at the top of the tag (use any punch size you want). Create ruffles with your fabrics and sew them onto the tag. Add some twine and a button and create a floating title like I showed you here. Staples, washi tape and rubons can add a nice little details to your project :) Use a few fabric scraps to lash back at the top of the tag. That´s it!  
Hope you enjoyed this little tutorial :) Janna xoxo

DT Tutorial by Paige

Paige Evans here today to show you how to create a fun triangle-pieced layout!
Hambly Studios supplies: Patterned paper, patterned transparencies, patterned vellum, stickers (bird, butterfly, label, leaf), washi tape

Create an equilateral triangle template and print it out, cut it out, trace it onto thick chipboard, and cut out the chipboard triangle to use as a stencil. Or, you can always use a die cut machine! The triangle I made is about 2".
Trim the photos you want to use into triangles.
Cut about 50 patterned paper, patterned transparency, and patterned vellum triangles. Flip over some of the papers to reveal the solid colored backside.

Arrange all the paper and photo triangles across a white cardstock background. Move pieces around and take away a few triangles to make a little "white space". 
Glue all the triangles in place then trim any excess. Pop up three of the photos using dimensional adhesive. Straight stitch around the solid colored triangles for interest and depth.

Finish decorating the layout by adding a letter stickers title on pieces of washi tape, writing journaling in one of the open spots, placing a few stickers here and there, and adding a few embellishments as shown.

Hope you enjoyed learning how to make this layout!
