Sweet Silhouettes

For this week s Shabby Tea Room challenge I made a card using Prima Printery and a silhouette from Cricut's Sentimentals cartridge. I used my Spellbinders Label Seventeen to cut out the layers and the frame is painted chipboard. I used Wild Orchid flowers, a black feather and the butterfly is cut from Graphic 45 paper. I have never used a silhouette in a project before and it was fun to push myself to try something new!

Elegance

Week #148
This week's Shabby Tea Room challenge is to create a card or project inspired by the colors in the photo and to include ribbon/a bow and a flower.

This photo made me think of a wedding and I knew I wanted to use something from Webster's Pages In Love. I used a Spellbinders die to cut out the birds on the wedding cake and embellished it with blue glitter and mini white roses. I used a heart shaped doily, hand dyed seam binding, white and blue flowers, a white leaf, white lace, white pearls, and a chipboard sticker that says 'Bliss'.
Thanks for looking:)
 
 

Cold Days

This paper bag pocket gift set was made using Fancy Pants Winterland paper collection. This is my favorite winter paper! I love the pale pinks and blues. It's so shabby! The paper bag pocket holds a double sided tag- one side says 'Let it Snow' and the other is blank for a message. It also has a gift card holder. The tags I used came with the paper collection. I used pink and blue flowers and white leaves that have been covered in glitter. It makes them look so snowy! I added a hand dyed seam binding bow with a glittered snowflake button and a glittered pink button with pink baker's twine. Gluing glitter on buttons is my newest addiction! My favorite glitter is Art Institute because it is so fine and sparkly. You can find it on ebay. This paper bag pocket gift set makes a great gift for any occassion.
Please see my ebay auction for more pictures. The auction ends 12/14/12.

Shabby Autumn

 

This weeks challenge in the Shabby Tea Room was to create a project that is inspired by the photo, include a pumpkin and to make it shabby.

 

I used used weathered wood looking paper (not sure who makes it- I've had it forever!), the leaf paper is Imaginisce, and I used 2 different kinds of whit lace. I also used a Martha Stewart punch doily trim punch and a maple leaf punch for the white leag garland. The pumpkin was cut from chipboard, painted and sanded. I didn't have any white leaves so I painted some green ones that I had. I used a Spellbinders Nestabilities for the background of the AUTUMN sticker. I added some buttons, seam binding, flowers, and tan pearl bling.

Thanks for taking a peek:)

 

 

THE INSPIRATION PHOTO

Beautiful Romance

For the Shabby Tea Room's challenge I created a paper bag pocket. There are 2 pockets holding a gift tag, a gift card holder and an accordian mini album. I thought this would make a great gift for someone. I just love this shabby paper- Echo Park's Victorias Garden. The post card tag is from Iralamijashop on Etsy.

The Inspiration Photo



Bloom Where You're Planted

Here's my latest paper bag album available on ebay. I had so much fun making this paper bag album! A nice change from my usual chipboard album. The colors of this paper collection are GORGEOUS! It is DCWV Spring Fling. I used lots of lace and fabric flowers. There are lots of tags for photos and journaling.
