BIRTHDAY CARD FOR A FRIEND

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! WELCOME TO 2017

I am back and hope to make 2017 a more creative year with many more post to my blog. So I am starting out the year with a birthday card for a friend who is having a Birthday Challenge on her YouTube channel. You can see my video at.

To make this card I used the corrugated card base from Michaels (they no longer carry these). I used papers from Craft Smith. The stamp is from Graphic 45 and I used two dies from Spellbinders. The bling is from my stash it was no longer in the packaging so I don't remember where it came from. The flowers are from Wild orchid Crafts. The embellishment is from my stash.  I hope you enjoyed this post and I will be back soon with another project.

IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE

Good morning, I know that everyone is in the Christmas mood and making things for Christmas. I am too. But, today I want to post another project that I made a while ago for a young lady that recently got married. It is the mini album to go with the card I recently posted.

 

 

 

The papers are from the coral couture stack by DCWV. The wedding was pink and green  and that stack was so perfect for this project. The flowers are from Wild orchid crafts and Recollections. The bling is Recollection. The card stock used for the base pages was Gina K. I used my cinch to bind the album.  The frame is from Michaels and the beads and charms are from my stash. I used the Stampin' up tab punch for the mats. The ribbon is from my stash.

PURPLE ALTERED BOX

Ok, I know that it has been a long time since I posted any of my projects. I have been creating and making some videos to post on YouTube here is my channel. Would love for you to stop by for a visit. This is a recent project that I have altered. It is a wooden box that I bought at Michaels. This is what it looked like when I got it.

 

 

This is the finished box. The lace was given to me by a friend and I sprayed it with  dylusions crushed grape spray. the flowers are from several different places, The Paper Studio, Recollections and Wild Orchid Crafts. I made the stick pin and  the bling is Recollections. I first painted by box with Martha Stewart pearl paint. But, that was a little lighter than I wanted. So, I then covered it with Viva Inka Gold metallic rub, violet. I love the richness of the colors. The trim around the bottom is from Tim Holtz and I sprayed it with dylusions crushed grape spray also. The metal corners were rubbed with the Inka gold also.

 

Underneath the Tim Holtz trim is some grey burlap from the Paper Studio and some glitter ribbon It is really prettier in person.

 

 

Well, that is it. I really like how this box turned out and it is a gift for my daughter. You can see the video for this here. Stop on by for a visit.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to do better about posting in the future.
