Flower Fairy Altered Box

I altered a white box that I purchased at Michael's by using a decoupage medium and a beautiful roste napkin. I used my Tattered Angels to spray the rose trim and added little pink roses in each center. I also used Prima tags and bling, and pink roses. All of the flower fairies are from Iralamijashop . The fairy tags are embellished with roses, hand dyed seam binding, and lace.

Ruffles and Ribbons

This week's Shabby Tea Room Challenge was to create a project using the inspiration photo (below) and to use pink, green, ruffles, and ribbons.

When I see this peachy pink color it always makes me think of Graphic 45. I decided to use Once Upon a Springtime to make a card. The peachy pink frame is from Webster's Pages and is surrounded by pink and white flowers. I used a doily, tulle ruffles, a hand dyed seam binding bow, and a hand cut butterfly from Graphic 45. Thanks for looking!

Sweet Springtime

This week's Shabby Tea Room Challenge was to create a project using the inspiration photo (below) and to use pink, green and a sewing element.

What a gorgeous inspiration photo! I love pink and green together! I made a card and gift card set using My Mind's Eye paper and used a zigzag stitch for my sewing element. I cut the watermelon on Cricut using the "Just Because"Cards cartridge. I put a doily behind the watermelon and embellished it with pink buttons. The card has a pink lace trim with baker's twine and shabby roses. There is a metal tag from Makin Memories that says, 'SWEET' and a little pink butterfly I punched using the Martha Stewart corner punch. Thanks for looking!

Spring Mini and Altered Box

I saw this box at the Dollar Tree and knew I wanted to make a mini to fit inside. I love the springy pastel colors! I used bird tags from Iralamijashop (Etsy) and papers from My Minds Eye. I finally tried this binding technique after watching lots of videos on youtube. Take a peek at the pictures. For more details and photos please see the Ebay listing.

Pretty in Pink

This week's Shabby Tea Room Challenge was to create a project using the inspiration photo (below) and to use pink, ribbon/lace/tulle, and a flower.

I used Graphic 45's Secret Garden paper collection to make this card. I have had this tulle for a while and have been waiting for an opportunity to use it and I think it is perfect for this project. The bow is hand dyed and crinkled seam binding and the pink heart button sticker I found in the clearance section at Target. The butterfly punch is Martha Stewart and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Pink Party

Week #155
This week's Shabby Tea Room challenge is to create a project using the color and theme of the inspiration photo. I love this shabby photo! I focused on the oval frame, the banner, the pink and white flowers, and the bird of course! I made a mini chipboard album using Spellbinders Labels Seventeen. This makes it so easy to cut the chipboard and the paper and to get a perfect edge, no sanding to make it fit.

I used Pink Paislee's Spring Julbilee paper- I love the bring spring colors in this collection. I cut the triangles out of white cardstock and stamped them with pink text. The butterfly is cut from the paper collection and I added some Art Institute ultra fine Baby's Breath glitter (the best glitter!)

I painted the Melissa Frances oval frame with pink acrylic paint and then lightly sanded the edges. The bird is from Prima and the metal tag is Makin Memories.

The flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts and the shabby roses in the center of the frame are from Iralamijashop. The ribbon holding the album together is hand dyed seam binding. Thanks for looking! I will be listing this album on ebay this week if you would like to see more photos.

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!
