Mixed Media Tiles For ScraPerfect Dt


Good morning friends, Kim F. here today with my next project for ScraPerfect.
I altered some little 3 x 3 inch heavy chipboard which was taken from a broken picture frame, so its also an upcycled project!


I started off with putting some texture paste on the boards and then giving it all a coat with black gesso.

 
I also painted my embellishments with the black gesso and then got out the Best Glue Ever to attach my embellishments to the board.


One of the little boards I also gave the boards lots of Lindy's Stamp Gang mica powders for shimmer and some of the Prima Art Alchemy paints and dry brushed them on top.


Again, The Best Glue Ever to glue down all my little embellies! This glue is so amazing, it holds everything down!

I added some Prima Art Stones and a sentiment to each, using the Best Glue Ever. Here are my final 
3 x 3 little tiles!




I hope you like my project and will check out the ScraPerfect Store for The Best Glue Ever, and 
don't forget to pick up some of the Best Cleaner Ever to clean your brushes and work space up after you are done creating!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Make A Wish Mixed Media Box White Rose Crafts DT


Good morning everyone, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts
But, first a little announcement!
 Run over and check out all the amazing Your Next Stamp goodies in the White Rose Store and get your 10% off discount.

Now, on to my project.  With Christmas coming, I have been super busy creating goodies to give to friends and relatives. I started off my box with the Lemoncraft paper called Christmas Carols
I used the 12 x 12 paper and scored in at 2 inches and snipped the corners to fold the top. I repeated the process for the bottom of the box as well, but scored it at 1 3/4 and snipped the corners so they would fold.  

The paper has a beautiful music theme on the top of it which I loved but I wanted to shabby it up a little and added a bit of gesso and used the Distress Oxide in Tumbled Glass to give it a lovely blue hue.



Once that was done I used the Couture Creations stencil called "Be Merry" and some texture paste. While the paste was wet, I added some shabby blue embossing powder and some blue glitter and heat set it. Now the stars look so pretty and glittery! You can also see the little Dress it up Unicorn Baubles in the top left corner,  peeking out from the Recollections Flowers I used to decorate the corner of the box. I also added one of the Dress It Up Snowflake buttons just above the sentiment as well.


I framed the box with some soft laces from my stash around the edges.


I used the Couture Creations layered snow flake die, and embossed the snowflakes with the same embossing powder and topped them off with a rhinestone for some really amazing shine and glitter!


Lastly, I used the Altair Art butterflies ephemera sheet, which I cut out from  and glued them down. A finishing touch was the Crystal glitter glue from Dovecraft, it really brought the butterflies to life.
As you can see I used a ton of amazing items from the White Rose Craft Store! 

I hope you like my project I have shared today and found some inspiration here !

Now on to my project!
I painted the box with some Prima paints in a colour called pink blue, and then cut and
measured my paper to fit the box. I used the Lemoncraft paper called "Yesterday"for this
project. It is such a pretty paper pad and I love the music themed paper so much I used it
on the top and sides of the box.

Some Recollections flowers add a wintery white feel to the box. I spritzed the flowers with a pink spray to pick up on the colour tones in the paper.  I added some pink holly leaves and a tiny pink cameo from my stash as well to the center of the box.


I added some of my favorite Dress It Up Buttons in snowflakes.


I used Doodles Paper Playground Sparkle Blend in Candy Cane to add some fun and glitter to the box.


Isn't this Lemoncraft paper gorgeous? I fussy cut out the larger flower from the paper and added it to the side of the box for some dimension and the Doodles Paper Playground Sparkle Blend added some fun texture to it.


As a finishing touch, I used some of the American Crafts Glitter Ribbon in Pink to really give it a Shabby Christmas feel.

The Best Brush Cleaner Ever!


Good morning everyone, Kim here today with my next DT post for ScraPerfect~
I wanted to share an amazing tip with you today featuring The Best Cleaner Ever! 


If you are like me, and well, make a mess while Art-ing, then you are going to love this tip. I use lots of paint brushes for lots of different things and sometimes, well, ok, most of the time, I forget to clean them. The Best Cleaner Ever has become my new best friend!

I take my messy brushes and add a few squirts of The Best Cleaner Ever to them,wait a few moments, rinse, and Voila! My brushes are magically cleaned back to their original state.   For stubborn brushes, I squirt some of the cleaner on and leave it over night, and then rinse in the morning.


The bristles are soft and ready for my next project!


The Best Cleaner Ever has become my new best friend in my craft room!

Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to check out the ScraPerfect Store for all the great products they sell!

Fairy Nice Tags for White Rose Crafts Design Team


Good morning everyone, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts. This time I have created some fun mixed media tags!


These tags are really fun to make and with all the great items from White Rose Crafts,  these tags are a super quick and easy project!


I started off with the 6 x 6 Paintable paper from Prima and cut out my tag shapes.


Next, I used my Distress Oxide in Tumbled Glass and Distress Ink in a darker blue colour for contrast. I smooshed them onto my craft pad and spritzed them with water so the paintable paper would pick up on the inks and give a lovely water colour effect on the tag.


I heat set the colours and then used the Gathered Twigs Distress Ink around the edges of the tag to give them a vintage feel.


The next step was to tear up some paper, I used the Victorian Kitchen 2 paper as I loved the soft muted colours in it and decopaged the paper to the tags.  I also added some drywall tape as well, as I love it for mixed media and it adds some great texture.


Now its time to work on the ephemera. I am using some butterflies and Tim Holtz dolls from my stash and edging them in more of the gathered twigs Distress Ink.




I did some scribbles on the background for some extra fun.


I added some distressed twine around the tag for texture.


 Now its time to add my ephemera to the tag. I also used some Dovecraft glitter glue to the wings and the dolls to give them some sparkle!







I hope you like my project today and have found some inspiration here!
Thanks for stopping by.
