Mother's day gift by Ana Paula

Good morning, everybody!

Ana Paula here to share with you a Home Decor .

 It can be used as a pretty gift for Mother´s day.

It is a wooden box ( MDF)

 that I covered with the beautiful papers 

from the Mad Tea Party Collection by Marion Smith Designs.

 

In the edge of the box I painted using patina techniques 

and a crackle paint on the paper giving a classic 

and old touch to the project and featuring the vintage line from this brand.

"Love U" Altered Heart Card by Peggy Lee

Hello everyone, it's Peggy Lee here,

sharing with you a card...I created I just love the Motley Paper Collection 

by Marion, I also used her new stamps love them!!

I love the altered heart I created as a faux heart necklace....great embellishment!

Just love the Junque & Gem key charm...so cute

hanging off the chain.

I used a primitive heart Sizzix die out of chipboard and 

out of the paper collection...adhered the papers to the chipboard hearts.

I added depth with pop dots.

I gave the hearts alot of texture with multi medium gel and 

ultra thick embossing enamel.

Rolling back the edges of  the papers give great interest to the card...

great place to tuck in one of Marion's paper doilies, and Junque & Gem metals...

This card is so fabulous "if I do say so myself" I think it needs

a special frame to hang on my wall....

Thanks for stopping by today,

hugs

Peggy Lee

A Little Thank YOU!

Who doesn't like a Thank YOU note??  I know people feel so loved and special when we take the time to say Thank YOU.  I wanted a special and pretty Thank You card, so I will share today what I made with the beautiful Motley Papers Marion created!

This card is very soft and pretty - any lady will love it as it is very girly! 

Here's a little close up of the envelope and the darling nest charm tied on to the jute.

The New Stamps are very versatile and give a cool background texture to this card.  I also used a piece of vintage lace which was stitched on to the card.

Here's the Motley Supplies:   

So many cute charms in the Junque and Gems collection!

I hope this inspires you to make some Thank YOUs and get them sent to someone who would love to hear it!!

Thanks for visiting our team blog!  Lots more fun projects coming so please come back!!

Shabby Fabric Flower Tutorial by Tonya Gibbs

Hi everyone HAPPY IRS day if you are here in the US (LOL - GRUMBLE GRUMBLE)   Here is a post that will help you get over those tax day blues!

I'm sharing with you a simple tutorial for creating these beautiful Shabby Flowers using Marion Smith Designs Rose Petal Die (the one in the center of the photo below). Oh and BTW -  the Bloom tools are shipping to retailers now - so exciting I hope you got one. I used embossing powder to recolor the filigree flowers from antique brass to gold and silver.

For my tag I used the Garment District collection and Marion's Junque and Gems for my Flower centers.

I've attached my flower to this tag.  I created the tag background during my January Ustream.  Can you say ohhhhhhh soooo Shabby?

 

Here is a process video of me making the flower.

 I'm working on a few projects now using these flowers.  My next few posts will be using them. 

Thanks for stopping in today,

Hello, Ana Paula bringing to you today an idea of ​​recycling for Easter!

 I have the habit of saving packages and boxes that can be turned into a beautiful gifts. 

This package used for gourmet popcorn 

was embellished and became a beautiful container for cookies,

 it will be given to a friend who does not like chocolates. 

To accompany an envelope containing tea bags for a special moment.

 Everything was done with beautiful papers, embellishments and metallic resin flowers Marion

 

 

 

Happy Easter !

Altered Easter Egg Decor by Peggy Lee Baker

Hello everyone, it's Peggy Lee here 

sharing with you all my little

 Altered Easter Egg Decoration!!

With Easter next weekend this is going to come in handy,

as my table center piece! I just love to make

my own holiday decor...don't get me wrong I love store bought too...

but there is a JOY that fills my heart to make my own.

I started with a plastic egg from the dollar store....I glued the two pieces

together...gesso the egg, added a layer of crackle medium, then 

the top coat with was the pretty Folk Art Paint-Jamaican Sea! 

Marion Smith Designs Clear Stamps-Garden Rose

 I used the seal, butterfly and chicken wire image.

Adding even more texture (I didn't stamp 

perfectly either to add to the distress look) see photo below.

The other day I had created these beautiful handmade flowers using

Marion Smith Designs-Diecut Bloom Impressions Peony Petal Dies 

and Leaves & Stamens Dies.

I cut the peony petals and leaves out of crinkled up tracing paper, 

glued into a flower, adding distress ink in spun sugar and water to give

the flower a water color look...leaves I used Prima teal damask ink and water.

The last touch was the beautiful and fabulous gem center....LOVE!

Tucked a Marion Smith Designs-paper doily under the peony flowers,

resin flowers and Junque & Gems...paired with Petaloo Printed Darjeeling 

wild mini blooms in white, aqua and pink.

The egg topper is another dollar store find, glittered bunny rabbit

that I painted the Jamaican Sea, crackled and topped with gesso...looks vintage!

love the little bunny...

The Marion Smith Designs papers I used were from her

Motley Collection....I cut the pink layer at 3 inches twice punched a doily 

pattern on the edges...then I cut the next paper layer at 2 1/2 then tore the edges off...

adding some lace to the edges of the paper layers...giving a shabby feel.

Hope this finds you in the mood to create your own holiday decor,

Happy Easter 

to everyone may it be a bright and cheerful one...

hugs,

Peggy Lee
