Fairy Wall Hanging ScraPerfect DT


Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT project for ScraPerfect. This time I have created a fairy wall hanging for a friend and used The Best Glue Ever to make my project.


I used some crackle paste on my chipboard base, and also painted it with gesso to give a shabby chic look.


I used a pretty flower fairy image that was gifted to me by another friend for my focal point.  The best glue ever with the no clog writing cap makes easy work for a project like this!


The Best Glue Ever, even works on fabric, and my little satin flowers too!


Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you have found some inspiration here today!

Garden Goddess File Folio & Tags White Rose Crafts DT




Hello friends, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts. 
This time I have created 2 tags and a file folio type envelope to keep them in.


I saw a tutorial on Youtube to make a simple file folio and adapted the paper to make one to hold my tags. They are being shipped off to a friend and I wanted to keep them safe on their journey.


I was so inspired by this Graphic 45 paper called Garden Goddess! This paper is so beautiful, it might just be my favorite G45 paper of all time.


White Rose Crafts now has a selection of laces and trims in their store, and I couldn't resist in using them on my project, including this gorgeous bow trim with the pearl in the middle.


I had some sunflower lace in my stash and it matched perfectly, so I added some to the base of my filo along with a row of bows.


I added a pocket to the back of the folio, and cut out some of the tags from the paper and placed them inside the pocket.


I created 2 tags, in slightly different colours. 


This first tag is in pinks and yellows. I used more of the bow lace and also some of the double edge lace for the bow and some of the little cherry blossom flowers from the WRC store to finish it off.


My second tag has some of the scallop lace at the bottom and another of the bows at the top. More of the cherry blossom flowers went well around the tag. I also used some Dovecraft glitter glue in Crystal on both of the tags to give them some sparkle!



I hope you have enjoyed my project today and have found some inspiration here.

I have altered a wooden box which was a, thrift store find, using some of the GORGEOUS Flutter paper by Graphic 45.  I just adore this paper, the colours are so rich and vibrant!


I also used the butterfly flourish chipboard, and embossed it using some black embossing powder to make a bold statement on the front of the box.


I added some Prima and Recollections flowers to the box, and fussy cut out lots of the butterflies from the paper so the flowers give them a fun place to land on.


Some of the Dovecraft glitter glue in crystal gives the butterflies a gorgeous shimmer and sparkle.


My focal point is the steampunk butterfly chipboard piece which I layered on one of the chipboard words "Dream" on top. 


I used the Finnabar pastes in coordinating colours on the top of the butterfly and then used some DecoArt rose gold metallic lustre on top of the pastes.  The dream word I used the same black embossing powder to make it stand out on the butterfly.  A finishing touch to the butterfly is some Prima hardware, which I attached using Glossy Accents.



Such pretty flowers and butterflies!
The tulle lace on the box was from my stash but the double scallop floral lace I layered on top of that is from the White Rose Crafts store, they have a great new selection of lace in now!


I also added a pretty bow from the bow lace in the WRC store.


I hope you have enjoyed my project today and have found some inspiration here.

Upcycled Pencil Holder ScraPerfect DT




Good morning ScraPerfect fans, Kim here with a fun and easy upcycling project for you today.


I am always looking for organization on my art desk, and love to recycle! I have been storing some art supplies in this sad looking tin can, and knew it needed an update to make it pretty for my desk. I am using some Best Glue Ever with the No Clog writing cap, and some Tim Holtz collage paper for my can.


I gave the can a coat of gesso and then using the glue and some water, I adhered the tissue paper down to my tin can. It stayed down nicely and I had no tearing, it worked perfectly!


Once the tissue paper was dry, I used the glue again for adhering my trim to the top and bottom of the can.


I also had some wooden hearts in my stash and used the glue to stick them to the can for a bit of decoration. I left them the natural colour of the wood, as I felt it went with the nature theme of the tissue paper.



Voila! ScraPerfect to the rescue again, a simple and easy project to brighten up your art space!


Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you have found some inspiration here.

Always Bring Your Own Sunshine Art Journal Page White Rose Crafts DT



Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts.  I decided to do an art journal page this time, as this week we are sharing all things JilliBean Soup!
I was super inspired by the stamp set called My Sunshine by JilliBean Soup, and that got me thinking about creating a page with a sunshine theme, and this is the result.


I started off my page with some gesso and torn papers for the back ground.


Next, I added some of the Distress Oxide Sprays in Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade.


Once the sprays were dry, I used my gesso to give a loose impression of a head and body, so I had something to start my face from.


I also used the Studio Light Flowers stencil  and the Kaisercraft Parasol Stencil and some more of the Distress Oxide spray on my page.


I stamped my sentiment on some white paper, using some black Stayzon ink.


I also went around the stenciled images with my black Posca Pen to make them stand out more on the page.


I also used some of the Nuvo Drops in Simply White to give a bit of dimension to the flowers and stenciled images.




Don't forget to bring your sunshine with you where ever you go!
Thanks for dropping by today, I hope you have found some inspiration here.

"Dream" Art Journal Page White Rose Crafts DT


Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts. This time I am working in my White Rose Crafts Art Journal that I made in a previous post which you can find HERE

I have been working in my mini journal and decided to share this page which had some over-spray from a previous page. The paper is Neenah A2 Heavy cardstock  that I will be working on.


I started off using my Distress Oxides in Peacock feathers, and went all over the page, then used the Kaisercraft Parasol Stencil and my Dried Marigold Oxide. I then spritzed the page with some water to "activate" the oxides.


Once the page was dry, I cut some pieces from the Altair Art "Ever Dream" Ephemera sheet. I love this sheet, as I collect dreamcatchers and wanted to do a page featuring one of them from the sheet.



I used the Nuvo Drops in Duck Egg Blue on the dreamcatcher and added some turquoise thread behind it for some texture.  I also added Nuvo Drops in White Blizzard and also the Dovecraft Glitter glue in Crystal to add lots of sparkle to the page.


I added a K & Company Epoxy Sticker "dream" for my sentiment.


A final touch was the Distress Oxide Spray in Wilted Violet to add some spatters to the page.


Check out the White Rose Crafts Store for all the amazing products I have used today.
