Butterfly Cottage - Blog Hop

Hey there here's my Design team project for Imagine if...

 Back again guys with another Blog Hop!!

 

This time my fellow design team mates and I are featuring the gorgeous little houses...and like the carousel you get to construct and then decorate them any way you please.

For mine I went with a butterfly cottage theme.

As you can see it comes in several pieces to construct.

 

Once that is done it is time to decorate and embellish.
I covered the house with some weathered board type paper I had in my stash.  I then did some fussy cutting and cut out these beautiful roses from g45 A ladies Diary paper stack, and collaged them on with modge podge.

Embellished the house with lace on the roof...eyelash fibres for grass and pearl strand.

 

 I used TH distress paint to paint all the chip board bits and coloured up the little roses with TH distress stains.
Pretty pleased with how this came out and it was so much fun.  Be sure if you wanna win one of these little houses for yourself to get involved in on the swap...all you have to do is leave a comment and be sure to follow all the links and check out all the other designers houses. Fun Fun Fun :)

Happy blog hopping.

Butterfly Carousel - Laser cut chipboard

Wow what a busy couple of weeks it has been.  So glad to have some crafty time and get stuck into doing my DT Project for Imagine if ...

This post is also part of Imagine if's.. blog hop so be sure to click on the links at the bottom and comment on all the Design teams posts to be in to win your own laser cut Carousel to decorate and embellish how ever you want. FUN FUN FUN!!!!!!
 

This whimsical project was easy and fun to make.  With the pieces all cut and scored for you it is just a case of contsructing it and then getting to the good bit of decorating and embellishing.

As you can see below the pieces need to be assembled...I must say at first it was a bit daunting as this kind of project is a bit different for me but once I set to it...it was easy peasy.  I adhered most pieces with hotglue and quick dry wet glue.  After getting the main bits put together I gave it a coat of cream acrylic.

To cover my pieces of chipboard I used designer paper from Kaiser craft - Bonjour.

placed a paper doilie in the middle and dressed some of the edges with some trims from my stash.

I used B.B.Q skewers for poles and tidied up the edges with some pearl trim that I got from RetailGirl...I added some dimentional mulberry paper flowers to the bottom of the middle bit.

Here are some pictures of the finished carousel...you can see I embellished with some of my favourite things Pearls and stickles :)

Altered Moustrap - notebook holder/fridge magnet

Hey there I just wanted to share with you an altered moustrap I created for my mum.  I adhered a magnet to the back so you can put it on the fridge and hold a photo or a memo pad or maybe your shopping list.

So easy and fun to make.

I painted the magnet with a couple of coats of lavender acrylic.  I then embellished it with a little bit of cotton lace, some ruffled trim.  The paper flower, little acrylic pearl bow and pearl trim I got from Retailgirl.  I love to embellish with all her goodies so be sure to come check her out.

I attatched a little heart charm and there you have it a cute gift for someone special.

Happy Crafting xx

Paper Bag Mini Albums - Baby girl and Baby Boy Albums

Hey there crafters I have just finished making these paper bag Mini Albums and wanted to share them with you.

They measure approx. 6"x6" and the paper I have used is from DCWV.

 

These are albums are fairly simple. Just focusing on big Photo mats to put those gorgeous pics of your sweet baby and the paper was so bright and fun I didn't think it needed to much embellishing.

 

 

And here is the baby girl album...basically made the same.  Loved making these the papers were so colourful.

 

 

Here's the video if you want to have a closer look.

 

 

 

Happy crafting everyone xxx

 



Fairy Trinket Box - Tasha

Hey there crafters, I hope your week is going well and you have managed to get in some crafty time. It's an enchanted month at Imagine If...with some awesome projects to share.
Today I want to show you a memory box that I made up and embellished to create this cute shabby fairy trinket box.

The box measures 17cm x 15cm  and comes to you in 6 pieces that slot together so easily even I managed to do it :)

I first covered the assembled box with a coat of acrylic in the colour Manilla. Then covered the top and bottom, also the sides with designer paper from Tim Holtz (yum).  In our Dt Team kit we were sent several different fairies and I chose to use this cute one....The chip board pieces I painted with pink acrylic and then heat embossed them with some irridecsent embossing powder.  I also adhered some little seed beads and some hot fix crystals from Retailgirl

Above you can also see I used a metal fillagree and did the same thing I did with the chip board.

As you may have noticed from previous projects you would have clicked on I am obsessed with lace and crochet lace so it was only natural for me to include some of this goodness on this trinket box.  The trick for me is to know when to stop.  Here is a look at the side where I added some lacy yumminess and some of my handcrafted flowers.

Be sure to check out some of the amazing laser cuts at Imagine If...The possibilities are so endless...creating a look that you want to achieve is limitless :)

Be back soon with another creation and a vid of me making this Fairy Box.

Altered Jar - Shabby Chic

Hey there

I have another Design Team Project for Imagine if.....

This is a little jar I altered and shabbied up.

The first thing I did with this jar was paint it with acrylic.  I just rougly brushed it on in 2 colours...marshmellow and manilla.

I then gave it a bit of a sand with some sand paper to give it a distressed look.

The laser cut chip board shoe I used from Imagine if is just so gorgeous and how I got the crackle effect was not with a crackle medium, it was buy giving it a light coat of acrylic (manilla) and then I heat embossed it with some Utee, followed by another coat of acrylic and then I blasted it with my heat gun and it created this crackle effect.

I had so much fun embellishing the rest of the jar with left over crochet doilie scraps.

Paper flowers,pearls, a beautiful little crochet heart my firend Kimi from Unique Scrappiness sent me.

I love the way this little jar came out and look forward to making more;

I have been using some really unique laser cut embellishments and I get them all from Imagine if....  Be sure to come and check the Facebook Page out and see creations from all the talented designers :)

Here is a vid...taking a closer look at this little altered jar.

See you all soon with another fun creation :)

Shabby Shoe :)

 Hey crafters

I'm excited to share with you my first DT project.  This shoe came in 3 laser cut chip pieces that measures approx 19cm x 18cm.  I wanna tell you that I used alot of amazing tecniques but to be honest I actually just got all my crafty goodies together and had fun playing and embellishing,

I must say at first I had no love for this shoe as I had seen my fellow DT friends and they are all so unique and awesome I was a bit daunted but once I got into it, it was just fun fun fun.

I chose a shabby look for my shoe.  Covered it with some designer paper and then embellished the heck out of it with godies from my stash, some chip board butterflies, a felt flower and I just love those little tiny felt butterflies.

So many awesome embellishments and craft supplies to be had at imagine if...FIX designer craft supplies.  I am looking forward to sharing more creations with you.

Take care guys and keep it crafty
