Shabby Chic Paris Heart Card White Rose Crafts DT


Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts!
This time I have made a pretty shabby chic and Parisian inspired card for a friend.
I started off with the Neenah A2 Cards and Envelopes set in Parchment for my base.


For the background, I used the Letters from Paris paper stack from Wild Rose Studios. I love this paper, it's just gorgeous with the pink roses and scripty writing and who doesn't love a pink Eiffel Tower?

I also used some of the pink Recollections flowers and one of the Melissa Frances chipboard buttons as an embellishment.


I also dipped into my White Rose Crafts lace stash and used the heart lace and the white scallop lace on the card. The heart Bling Buckle Slider was perfect on this card too!


I also did some sewing on my card and used pink embroidery thread in the bobbin on my sewing machine to give this cool texture to my card.


I hope you like my card and will check out all the amazing goodies I used from the White

Mini Magical Apothecary Jars White Rose Crafts DT


Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts.
I am so excited about this project, I love these little mini bottles, I got them at my local Dollar store, and I had so much fun altering them into tiny magical apothecary jars!


The first thing I did was apply a bit of gesso to make them look like they had been sitting around for a while.


Now it is time to fill my little jars with all sorts of magical things. These tiny little clam shells with pearl charms from the WRC store are the start of my Mermaid Wishes jar!


By adding some glitter, some Dress it Up Buttons, micro beads, and some of the Doodles paper playground sparkle blends I had in my stash, it gave this jar the magic and glitter I was looking for.


Next up, Dragon Scales! Aren't these pieces from the Doodles Paper Playground Boughs of Holly Set perfect for that?


I added more of the sparkle blend, some mica flakes and glitter and I also printed off my own labels for the jars as well.


I also used the Kaisercraft Mademoiselle wooden embellishments, with this lovely cameo piece and a wooden key from the same set for my Unicorn Horn and Dragon Scale jars. I added some of the Nuvo Glitter drops to them too for lots of dimension and sparkle.


I made my own Unicorn horn with some paper clay and glitter!


Once again here are my finished jars. I just love them so cute and fun...and magical too!

Mixed Media Altered Playing Cards ScraPerfect DT


Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT project for ScraPerfect.
This time I have altered some fun cards mixed media style.
These cards were gifted to me by a friend and feature some of the worlds most famous authors.


I kept the image of the author as a focal point and used The Best Glue Ever to adhere all my embellishments down.


I used the Pearl Wheel of Embellies on my cards as well, as the pearls are tiny enough to fit nicely on the cards.


The Best Glue Ever is so great for a project like this, as it will hold down the paper, the sentiments, small bits of fabric and lace, and even the glitter glass you see in the top left corner of the card.


I also used the Best Glue ever for the heavier embellishment of the dangle bead you see on the right side of the Bronte Sister card above, and it worked! The Best Glue Ever
once again lives up to its name!!



I hope you will give some cards like this a try.

Hello friends, Kim here with my fun hop project, this time I have altered a journal with lots of great White Rose Crafts items.


I have used the Wild Rose Studio Paper called Letters From Paris for my background 
paper on the journal. It fit in perfectly with the Barista Blend colour palette.
Once the paper was down I dove into the gorgeous laces and trims WRC
Sells in the store. The Double Scallop lace is on the top and underneath you can see the
I think they look amazing against the backdrop of the paper!


For the top of the journal I used one of the Dovecraft Heart Paper Doilies, and one that 
is from my stash that I coffee dyed to layer on top. I added one of the
 sentiment from my stash to finish it off.


I used more of the Melissa Frances chipboard buttons, and more of the
Recollections Flowers and one from the Recollections Chintzy Print set to embellish.
I also used the Dress It Up Decadence chocolate buttons to the mix because they are so cute!


I tied up some more of the laces and some tan coloured seam binding to the side of the journal 
to make it look even more shabby.
I am really loving these colour tones together, and I hope you like them too!


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

Shabby Chic Altered Wall Key White Rose Crafts DT


Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts.
This time I have done a home decor item! I got this heavy chipboard key from a local box store, and I thought it would be perfect to alter with lots of amazing items from the WRC Store.


The first step is to paint the sides and any areas that will show with some paint. I used a multi surface paint for this and it did the trick nicely. I also took the key and traced around it on some of the gorgeous Lemoncraft Yesterday paper.  Once the paint was dry, I used Mod Podge to stick down the paper.


While the key was drying, it was time to get out my embellishments and alter them to go on the key.
I used some fun chipboard pieces from the WRC store, and also the metal heart and flower are from the shop also.  I added some of the same paint I used on the key to the pieces and then added a touch of pink paint as well to pick up on the colours in the paper.




Once everything was dry, it was time to layer on my pieces.  I got out some Recollections flowers and used one of the Melissa Frances resin keys in the middle of the chipboard heart with wings
You can also see some of the Altair Art butterflies and one of the pieces from the Dress It up Button Set in the photo. 


On the end of the key, I added some more flowers and the metal flower, along with a bit of the chicken wire chipboard, and a little butterfly to finish it off.  


Of course everything got a lovely coat of Dovecraft glitter glue in Crystal, it makes everything sparkle!  The final touch was some of the Distress Oxide Spray in Picked Raspberry to make the pink stand out on the paper and flowers, it added just the right mixed media touch.


It turned out so pretty, I am going to hang it up in my bedroom!


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