Section #1 - Vicki Boutin
I was so excited when the gypsies sent me the info for this little ATC project!
There are a bunch of talented ladies on this design team and I can't wait to see
how they created all of there lovely projects!
Materials: (all 7gypsies)
Tag Kit: Affirmations (Happily Ever After, #1)
Lille 6x6 paper pack (Elen and Crazy Love)
Lille Clear Stamps
Paddington Chipboard Alphabet
Collage Tissue: Paris
(2") Gaffer Tape:Venice
(1) Binding Ring Dangle: Crystal
(2) Mini Label Stickers: Naked Black
(1) Miniture Key: Antique Brass
ATC Photo Display Kit Tag
Other:
1 3/4" circle punch (you can also use scissors)
Foam Adhesive squares

red spray ink (you can also use distress stain or red marker)
black stamping ink
brown stamping ink (for the edges - can also use distress stain)
fine point black pen or sharpie
(1) brad
(3) rhinestones
sewing machine
Project tips:
- you can substitute the 7gypsies packaging in the kit for any of the
chipboard/book board needed. be very careful when opening the packaging if you
would like to use it.
- keep ALL your paper scraps from each section, you will need them for section
#11
- you can use scissors in place of all punches
- you can use the purple ribbon in the ATC Photo Display kit in place of any string
and wire
Instructions:
BEFORE YOU START: you will want to find the section #11 clip area and flip
the receipt holder over. using pliers or other tool, bend the clips so that they come
loose and the clip comes out completely. you will not need the clip for section #11.
1. Coat the letter or number of your choice in adhesive and add glitter to the
chipboard letter. Set aside to dry.
2. Place a small amount of adhesive on the very outer edge of the "1" circle tag
and add glitter. Punch a hole in the bottom of the tag. Attach a crystal dangle to a
mini key and add the crystal dangle and a miniature key to the "1" circle.
3. Trim a 2 1/4" x 3" piece of the back side of "crazy love" paper and ink the edges.
Stamp the line border in black along the left side of the paper. Trim the Eiffel
Tower from the Elen paper and ink the edges. Ink the edges of the Happily Ever
After tag.
4. Glue the pieces on top of each other to create the ATC. Stamp two star images
in black along the bottom. Add stitches with red thread to the bottom and the left
edges.
5. Add a 2" piece of Gaffer Tape and stitch again. Attach three rhinestones to the
top part of the Eiffel Tower, place chipboard letter in upper left corner, write
"create" and "art" on two label stickers and stick in bottom right corner, covering
part of the stars and tie black ribbon (or red ribbon) to tag.
6. (in step 8 you will mist spray the tissue, you can also color with a marker,
however if you are coloring the tissue, do this now) Punch or cut five 1 3/4"
circles from the Paris tissue paper and add a brad to the center of the layered
circles. Crumple the tissue starting with the top layer.
7. Crumple all layers until flower takes shape.
8. Mist the tissue flower with spray ink.
9. Using adhesive (glue dot) stick the "1" tag in the center of the flower. Add
assembled flower to the clip tag.
a little bit about me: I love to paper craft and play with techniques! I often say I
could be that person who forgoes sleep in order to get lost creating. Hey! I already
am that person! I travel around like a true gypsy teaching workshops and I just
finished writing my first book Creative Foundations this past summer! It is
now available for pre-order on Amazon.com, Barnes and Nobles and Chapters.ca.
(did you happen to notice that 7 Gypsies Printer's Tray on the cover??) It will be
in stores in December 2011. Here is my blog if you feel like hopping over for a
visit...http://vickiboutin.typepad.com/.
A blog that I am digging right now...I love blogs and internet info in general. I
love a cup of tea and hours of surfing the web for inspiration. Here is one I
stumbled across this week...Ruffledblog.com. I love wedding blogs. Not planning
another one any time soon, but they are full of photography ideas, fun DIY and all
around great ideas!!!
Thanks for stopping by!!!
Join Sierra on Thursday for section #2! Other items needed are:
Adhesive

adhesive
Project tips:
#11
and wire
Instructions:
1. First select the ATC card “love is all you need.” Cut about a centimeter off the
left edge, this way it fits better in the receipt holder.
2. Grab your tissue paper, and cut four strips - (2) 10"x1" and (2) 6"x1". Accordion
fold, or scrunch tissue paper, depending on the look you are trying to achieve.
3. Next you are going to adhere the scrunched/accordion folded pieces to the
back of your ATC card. Make sure as you adhere you are able to see the tissue
peeking out of the edges of the ATC card.
Tip: I used a tape runner to apply adhesive around the edge of the back of the
ATC card.
4. Next grab your gaffer tape and cut a 3.5" piece (same length as your ATC card).
Cut the tape in half lengthwise. With one of the strips you cut, scallop one edge
and tape to left side of ATC card.
5. Place three of the mini keys inside one of the smaller apothecary bottles. Using
the remaining piece of tape, adhere the mini apothecary bottle to the left side of
your ATC card.
6. Using your Lille paper: “Life is Good”, cut out a star from the bottom right
corner (make sure you are careful of the area with the spectacles, you will need
them for section #7), and adhere to top left corner of ATC card, just next to the
tape. Peel back the adhesive on your pyramid stud and put in top left corner.
7. Grab your “2” from the ATC package and glue on top of receipt holder clip for a
finished look!

Section #4 - Kerry Lynn Yeary
Good morning gypsies!! I'm so excited to be sharing my section (#4) of the atc
advent kit. Working with 7gypsies has been an absolute blessing my life, as i'm a
fellow lover of everything old, tattered and worn and being able to collaborate on
such a fun project has been amazing. let me know if you have any questions and
i'll do my best to answer them in the comments if needed.
(1) Display trim pyramid stud
(4 - 1" circles) Paris collage tissue
Paddington chipboard Alpha
Affirmations tag kit (#4)
(1) Crystal dangle
Metal Charms fortune (crown removed in section #3)
Other Items:
Seam binding (12"ea. - pink, gray, very light pink)
(1) Vintage millinery leaf
Soft Pink glass glitter (or any color you prefer)
bronze mini eyelets
jump rings
scrap piece of cardstock or chipboard or 7G packaging
Tools:
scissors
2" circle punch (or scissors)
liquid adhesive {i use zip-dry}
glossy accents
crop-a-dile (or scissors to punch small hole)
tim holtz mini attacher (or stapler)
sewing machine
gel medium (golden or modge podge)
Project tips:
#11
and wire
Instructions:
1. cut a piece of scrap chipboard to fit section #4. sew alternating horizontal rows
of the 3 different seam binding ribbons, beginning at the top, overlapping
slightly. i don't pre-cut my ribbon and just trim after i finish a row, makes it
easier when handling and you don't waste anything.
tip: make sure to sew down the center of each row so the edge that isn't tucked
under can float free, which creates a beautiful texture when finished. trim threads
and any extra ribbon ends.
2. add strip of venice script gaffer tape to left side edge. peel top pattern off of
chipboard "4" and staple to top left corner with tiny attacher.
3. center accent - cover "4" circle from affirmations tag kit with glossy accents
and add one pyramid stud off center. set aside to dry.
4. making glitter pie chart piece - cut 2" circle out of scrap piece of cardstock. cut
a wedge {see picture below for examples} and cover with thick layer of gel
medium {this will act like a glue for the glitter}. push the gel'd side of pie chart
piece into the glitter. repeat with layers of gel medium & glitter until completely
covered. set the glitter with another layer of gel medium or a fine mist of
hairspray, this will ensure that the little sharp glitter flakes stay put once dry.
tip: i like to do the final layer with the gel medium as it really locks the glitter into
place and creates a subtle sheen and flat layer to the glittered piece.
5. cut other 2" circles with punch and create other pie chart pieces. i created
sections with :
* gaffer tape
* vintage millinery leaf {cut & round outside edge with scissors}
* vintage ledger paper
* layered paris tissue paper {ruffle up edges & attach with mini stapler}
6. once all of the pie chart pieces have been created, and your center piece and
glitter piece have dried completely, stack and attach to a 2" chipboard circle. use
tiny attacher mini staples as accents and ruffle up edges of tissue paper piece for
dimension.
7. add center "4" circle to top with liquid adhesive.
8. punch top & bottom edge of pie chart with crop-a-dile and set your eyelets. add
charm crystal dangle to top and crown charm to bottom.
9. finishing touches - slide layered atc with ruffle ribbon layers into holder. wrap
a piece of gaffer tape around the center white part of the clip. dangle the pie chart
charm piece from the upper right corner of the atc chain right where it meets the
metal base.
a little bit about me: I live in beautiful sonoma county, california with my
husband and two children who we affectionately call "the littles". i've been lucky
enough to be on the 7gypsies team for almost two years. i love french linen, tatted
lace ribbons, old chippy salvaged wood and all things industrial metal. come visit
me at kenner road, where i wax poetic about my daily life, shopping the alameda
flea market and share pretty projects made with my own two hands.

Join Paula Cheney Thursday for section #5.
Other items you will need are:
wire (or purple ribbon from gypsy tag kit)
string
glitter
ribbon
cream acrylic paint
toothpick
Sections #5 & 6 - Paula Cheney
6x6 Lille paper (Elen, Abundance and Beautiful)
Paris tissue paper
ATC affirmations tag kit (#5 & 6)
(1) apothecary bottle (large)
Other:
chipboard cut to fit over two ATC receipt holder openings (5 3/4"x3", you can
also use the back packaging for the crystal dangles in place of chipboard)
wire (or purple ribbon from gypsy tag kit)
string
glitter
ribbon
cream acrylic paint
toothpick
Project tips:
#11
and wire
Instructions:
Tissue Flower -
1. Cut 4 or 5 pieces of collage tissue (paris) 4 x 5". I like to fold up the tissue and
cut the squares all at the same time with a rotary cutter. Super easy.
2. Fan-fold the stack of tissue.
3. Cut a piece of wire (or purple ribbon) about 4' long. I like to use floral wire
that is covered in string so that it does not cut through the tissue as easily.
4. Wrap the wire around the center of the fan folded tissue.
5. Round the ends with a pair of scissors.
6. Start to unfold each side of the stack.
7. Pull the tissue up, layer by layer, alternating sides, towards the center to
create the flower shape.
8. Here is the finished flower. I did add a loopy bow to the floral wire made
from seam binding (you can see it in the final picture). Then used the wire to
attach the flower to the receipt holder clip. You can also use a glue dot to stick
ribbon bow on and another glue dot to attach to the clip.
Base -
1. Cut a piece of book board or other heavy weight board to fit the opening. I
wanted the board to span across two sections of the receipt holder so I cut it
accordingly. I also rounded the edges which is just a matter of personal taste.
2. Use gel medium or Mod Podge to adhere Lille 6 x 6" paper (Abundance) to the
board. Once dry add another layer of gel medium or Mod Podge to the top (don't
skip this step).
3. Cover entire board with creme acrylic paint.
4. Working quickly, use a baby wipe to wipe away most of the acrylic
paint. Because I sealed it with the gel medium I can manipulate the paint on the
board without causing damage to the paper. If you don' like the look you can
wipe it away and start over or even add another color.
5. Once I was satisfied with the painted board I cut up small pieces of the Lille 6
x 6" paper (elen), layering as I added them to the base (the eiffel tower part of the
paper was used in section #1, so just use any other part of the paper). I also
added a small piece of vintage dictionary paper to the left edge because no gypsy
project would be complete without a bit of vintage.
6. I cut out the number 5 from the number circles that come with Affirmations
Tag Kit and glued it to a toothpick. Set aside to dry.
7. I used the receipt holder clip on the left side to hold the board in position.
8. I cut out two free form leaves from chipboard (or packaging) and glittered
them with silver glitter. Once the flower was secured to the receipt holder clip
with the wire (or ribbon) I added the leaves and the number on the toothpick.
9. On the right hand side I added a small apothecary bottle. To complete the
bottle as shown, I first wrote a note on vintage paper, rolled it up to that it could
be seen from the outside. I cut out the 6 from #6 circle tag and glued it to the
bottle and add the cork.
10. Next I added the little bottle to the board with wire, then tucked some cut out
scrap paper behind the bottle.
11. The last thing was to add the pyramid studs to the right edge to complete the
look.

Project tips:
#11
and wire
Instructions:
To me the challenging part about this project was, what do do in the tiny space of
2.5"x3.5". I decided that it would be cute to use a small frame that would act as a
shadowbox. Here's what I did:
1. Find a small gold frame at an antique or thrift store approximately 2.5" x 3.5"
in size. (This is one of those little gold frames that your grandma displayed your
school pictures in.)
2. Cut a piece of heavy chipboard the size of your frame using your frame as a
template.
3. Cover the chipboard piece with a page from an old book. Ink edges.
4. Cut a piece of fabric slightly larger than your frame. Add 1/2" in height (this is
to turn under in step #5).
5. Turn under fabric 1/2" on one end and glue with glue stick.
6. On the back side of chipboard, run a bead of glue around the edge on 3 sides
as shown.
7. Attach fabric to chipboard piece with folded edge on bottom. Do not glue
folded bottom edge (this is where the wire arm on the receipt holder will be
inserted). Trim any excess on edges.
8. Drill tiny holes in top of frame. This is where you will wire the chain and
dangles to frame.
9. *Please note: This photo is showing the back side of frame. On fabric side of
the chipboard piece, run bead of glue around 3 edges (Do not glue the folded
fabric edge). Slip into frame and press so it attaches to back of frame. The open
edge of the fabric is where you will slip the clip under neath fabric to attach to
ATC receipt holder.
10. The label for bottle is cut from 7g "Paris" collage tissue. Gently glue to bottle
and tie tiny tag to bottle neck. Screw mini eye hook into bottle cork.
11. Add "fly" word to wings charm and attach to crystal drop.
12. Attach bottle and wings charm to ends of chain and wire to frame as
shown. Tie narrow ribbon on both dangles.
13. Postage stamp is cut from 7g tag and glued to background.
14. Cut a circle piece from bookboard to fit "8" piece and attach to frame.
That's it....really pretty simple!
a little about me...
I have been with 7gypsies since Donna and Steve Smylie started the company and
feel lucky that I have been able to be a part of their journey. I am over the
fabulously talented 7gypsies design team and also planning and decorating the
7gypsies booth at CHA shows. You can find out more about me on my blog "One Lucky Day" that I share with Paula Cheney (also on 7g design team)
at www.2gypsygirls.com. Paula and I have had the opportunity to travel around
the world teaching classes that show off our favorite 7gypsies products. The best
part of that is that we have been able to meet lots of fun and interesting people
along the way.
blog that inspires me... I am loving Janet Hopkins blog. We have known each
other for years and I hadn't been to her blog in awhile and recently checked it out
because we found out we had done similar posts on each of our blogs on almost
the same day. She is fabulous and always has great inspiration!

8. Adhere wing as shown and add ribbon to the bottom of the clip area if you like.
A little about me... I have been crafting or creating things for as long as I can
remember. I love flea marketing and antiquing. I lenjoy spending a Sunday
afternoon at a bookstore or at home by the fire curled up with a cup of tea. I love
celebrating holidays, looking for inspiration in the world around me and enjoying
creative journeys. I want to travel the world, and am a gypsy at heart! You can see
more of my work at http://www.scrapologie.blogs.com

of the way down on the card. Add the pyramid studs in the other three corners of
the card.
5. Ink desired chipboard letter and adhere to the bottom right of card. Cut a 1.25”
strip of the tissue paper that’s the width of the sheet of tissue (about 18”).
6. Using a needle and thread, make a running stitch about 1/4” from the edge of
the tissue, gathering it up to form a ruffled circle.
7. Carefully tie the end and knot to secure. Mount the tissue circle on the
chipboard circle to reinforce.
8. Using a foam brush run a bead of glue along the outside edge of the tissue
circle. Add glitter. Open the jump ring on the dangle and add two mini keys.
Punch a tiny hole in the bottom of the 10 circle and attach the dangle. Adhere the
10 circle with the dangle onto the center of the tissue circle. This will then be
attached to the clip portion of the receipt holder.
I chose to focus on the word unlock from the dictionary page and with the heart,
the mini keys attached to the dangle and the letter M, it means that I would like
to unlock the key to my husband’s heart! The number 10 has significance because
we currently have 10 beautiful grandchildren!
I spend my days with my husband, since we are both retired now! Since he retired
in May, we have been privileged to take a few trips and enjoy the beautiful
country in which we live. We love to go junkin' together and we spend a lot of
our time with our children and our grandchildren. We love to attend our
grandchildren's sporting events, concerts, school functions and other activities. I
enjoy working in my scrapbook room and getting lost in the creative process. My
favorite projects are those I make just for fun. I also enjoy doing needlework,
sewing and working on our family history.
A blog I check out frequently is http://www.u-createcrafts.com/. I always have
enjoyed recreating things I see that I like. In my younger years, we couldn't
always afford the things I wanted, so I generally figured out a way to make
whatever I wanted. Now that I can better afford things, I don't always buy...I
enjoy the creative process and the satisfaction of making things of my own and
with my own twist to them. You can always take a good idea and tweak it a bit to
make it uniquely your own! Nothin' better than that!!!

Project tips:
#11
and wire
Instructions:
1. If you haven't done this already, you will want to find the section #11 clip area
and flip the receipt holder over. using pliers or other tool, bend the clips so that
they come loose and the clip comes out completely.
2. Grab all the scrap pieces of the Lille papers and cut them into uneven, crooked,
strips of paper. find your least favorite card from the affirmations tag kit and start
gluing the strips of paper to create a "striped" paper.
3. Use your distress ink (or stamping ink) to distress the edges of the card.
4. grab the 3kr stamp from the lille stamp set and stamp in black ink (or whatever
color you prefer) on the card.
5. cut small slits in the #11 tag, vertical, one on each side of the #11. cut another
piece of the leftover lille papers or a strip from an affirmations tag to the size of
the slits you made and slide it through. start at the front to give the look of a belt.
place two pyramid studs on either side of the #11 circle and glue to "striped" tag.
6. we used pictures from an old index print for the banner pictures. using three
(or however many pictures you want) blank labels, fold them in half over the
string about 1" apart, to create a base to stick the pictures on. using a small
amount of the gaffer tape, fold that in half over the string in between the pictures
and trim to give a penant look. glue the small pictures onto the blank labels.
7. grab the "good things come to those who wait" card from the affirmations tag
kit. stamp the small listing stamp on the back of the card in the upper left corner.
glue the small calendar tag from the gypsy tag kit at an angle over the bottom
right part of the stamp - DO NOT glue the hole in the tag as we will be tying the
banner to that later. cut out a heart from any leftover papers you have or the back
of an affirmations card and distress the edges. glue on top of calendar piece.
8. coat the "s" or the letter or number of your choice, in mod podge (or other
adhesive) and gently lay a piece of the tissue paper on top. allow to dry for ten
minutes. using a small nail file or piece of sandpaper, gently file (rub) the edges
of the letter until the excess tissue paper falls off.
tip: don't try to tear the tissue, just keep sanding or filing the area as it will
eventually sand off.
9. glue the chipboard letter to the back of the "good things come to those who
wait" card, over the heart.
10. tie one end of the string banner you created to the hole in the top of the
calendar tag. grab the gaffer tape and cut to the height of the affirmations card.
cut a scalloped edge on one side. stick the tape down in section #10, just before
the spring starts. attach the tape to the edge of the affirmations card to create a
door. add the two pyramid studs, one on top and one on bottom.
11. grab the card with the #11 on it, position the banner so that when you open the
door, the banner will pull tight. cut a small slit in the card and slide string into it
and tuck behind the card and fit snug in the receipt holder.
