Lavender & Lace Paper Bag Mini Journal White Rose Crafts DT


Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts. This time I have created a mini paper bag journal using the Lavender Hills paper from the WRC Shop. 


I used a larger piece of coordinating paper from my stash to wrap around the whole journal for the cover, and gave all the pages and ephemera some Milled Lavender Distress Oxide to colour the edges of the papers.

For the actual journal part, I started off with 5, 2 pound bags I purchased from a friend's live sale. I folded the bags in half and then I covered each of the bags in the paper.


Once that was done, I was able to use the Lavender Hills Die Cut Ephemera Sheet and the 12 x 12 Ephemera sheet to decorate the inside of the journal.


I used the larger ephemera pieces for journaling cards for the opening of the paper bags, which makes wonderful side pockets in the journal.


I added some of the Craft Creations Lilac Bows for decoration along with some fussy cut pieces from the Ephemera sheet.


I also used some of my Tim Holtz Paper dolls from my stash and some of the small talk sentiments to the journal. I bound the journal with some white embroidery floss, it worked great!


The ends of the bag, when folded, make great tuck spots for more of the ephemera!



I created pockets on the front and back of the journal using more of the gorgeous paper and ephemera.


I added some lace to the edge of the journal as well, you can see there is tons of room in this little book for photos or writing.


I also used some of the Delicate Flower embellishments on the front of the journal.


I finished off the journal with some hand dyed bridal trim from my stash and some Want To Scrap Adhesive Pearls in Lavender.


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

Love Artist Trading Coins White Rose Crafts DT


Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts. This time I have created some Shabby Chic Artist Trading coins. 


I love making these Arist Trading Coins using the gorgeous "Love" chipboard set from the WRC shop.


I used various embossing powders from my stash, in coordinating colours, but making each coin unique.


Once the embossing was done, I used some Glossy Accents to glue the background paper, Felici 'Tea paper to the back of each of the coins.


I also used the Glossy Accents to add some micro beads, rhinestones and tiny metal embellishments to decorate the coins. 
The finishing touch was the Tim Holtz Rub Ons which added a lovely sentiment to each of the coins. 


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

Cheery Christmas Door Hangers White Rose Crafts DT


Good morning everyone, Kim here with my next design team project for White Rose Crafts!
It's Gearing up for Christmas week at White Rose and they have a special offer this week of
15% OFF everything in the Christmas Shop section of the store. Now that's a bargain!!
Use The Code: CHRISTMAS IS COMING at the checkout!


So, lets get to my projects!  I am entering a challenge on YouTube, which a friend of mine does each year.  We are challenged to make Christmas themed door hangers for her Mom's residence she lives in.  Its a fun challenge and lots of YouTuber's and Bloggers join in, to make Christmas a little brighter for the folks who live there.

First up is my Merry door hanger. I started off with both of my hangers using some sturdy cardboard. I covered this first hanger with the gorgeous Craft O'Clock paper called Brrr...Its Cold Outside. I love the blue and grey tones of this paper.



Once the paper was down, I got out the Momenta Deer Head with Fauna Stencil and some Aleen's Glitter Snow and added the deer and leaves pattern. I wanted the Deer to stand out so I left it white, but used some mica powders from my stash over the leaves and it gave the texture paste a lovely glow.


I added some metal snowflakes and trim from my stash, but also used the gorgeous Recollections Dimensional flower pack and the super cute Dress It up Holiday Cookie Cutters from White Rose for decoration.


Lastly, I added some white paint around the edges of the piece to give it a frosty look then added some fiber around the edges as well. I got out some old scrabble tiles and spelled out Merry for the top, and added some of the Dress It Up Snowflake Buttons from the store.


The second door hanger I made in gold, red and cream colours.  It was the same process to put it together,but this time I used the Craft Creations paper called Christmas Words for the background. 


I added some gold and cream trim and fibers and also used the American Crafts Ivory Glitter ribbon and another of the snowflake buttons in the center.


I then added a Tim Holtz Christmas word band and more of the pretty Recollections Flowers from the Flower Garden Pack as well for lots of colour.


In the center I added a paper doily, and a wooden snowflake which I embossed using the Ranger Holographic Embossing powder from the store. Once that was finished I added a number 25 to the middle and some of the Doodles Paper Playground Sparkle Blend in Candy Cane. Another pretty Recollection Flower topped it off.




Here they are side by side!


I had so much fun using lots of White Rose Crafts goodies and making these Door hangers for a great cause.
