Fairy Carousel A ScraPerfect DT Project

 

Good morning ScraPerfect fans, Kim here with my next DT project!

This time I have created a fairy carousel!

 

I am using the Best Glue Ever and some gorgeous paper called Fairy Belle by Prima.

 

 

I have had this chipboard carousel in my stash for quite a while, and decided it was the perfect time to use it. I adhered all the chipboard with the Best Glue Ever, and it worked out so great and gave a good strong hold to assemble the pieces. There are three sides to this piece.

 

 

As you can see this carousel comes with a lazy Susan type spinner to attach to the bottom. I did adhere the spinner with some BGE, but I also added some hot glue for a more instant hold as well.

 

I painted the box first with gesso, then with a lovely colour from Martha Stewart, called Putty. Now it is time once again to get the Best Glue Ever out for adhering the paper.

 

I love this glue for paper!! It holds so well, really its one of "the best glue's ever" for paper crafting. ;)

 

Once the paper was on, it was time to embellish. I am using lots of different things I have had in my stash for a while. Flowers, resin pieces, lots of lovely laces and more goodies I rummaged through my craft drawers and found.

 

I decorated each section a little bit differently.

 

Once I was happy with the box part, I painted up some chipboard from my stash with some of my favorite paints from Prima.

 

Now its time for the Best Glue Ever to come back out. Can you see why I love this stuff?? I use it for so much!

 

I wanted the top of the box to have some sparkle, cuz what is a fairy scene with out glitter? So BGE to the rescue! I put small amounts in various places around the top of the box, like on the wings and in the corners.

 

I then sprinkled on some frosty glitter, and I love the effect!

 

I continued to add more embellishments and gave them a little coat of Diamond Stickles for more sparkle and shine.

 



 

I added some pearls from my stash and of course added more Stickles to them as well.

 

Once again here is the final look!

 

I hope you have found some inspiration here today, and will stop by the ScraPerfect Store!

#25 Stardust Way For The Fernli Designs Christmas Challenge

 

Hello Fernli Designs fans! I have a fun project to share with you today and some exciting news!

First the news! I have been asked by Lou, the owner of Fernli Designs to work full time for her for the next 6 months, and I am so happy!! I start in January, and I am excited and thrilled to be working with such a great company as Fernli Designs. I have done guest work for them in the past and always been thrilled with their amazing products.

 

Now onto my fun little project #25 Stardust Way. Some of you may remember I did an altered house not too long ago, which you can find here

#63 Snowflake Lane

 

I decided my little house needed a neighbour on the next street over, and this tall fairy house from Fernli Designs fit the bill quite nicely!

 



 

I started the house off with some lovely Christmas themed paper from Kaisercraft, called Christmas Wishes, which you can find HERE

I love this paper, its so pretty, lots of pastels in pink, aqua and whites all my favorite colours.

 

 

I papered all of the outside and the inside as well. This paper is so gorgeous!  As you can see in these photos, I also added some Fernli 5 Pointed Stars which I painted white and then glittered with some Martha Stewart glitter.  You will see more of these stars around the house as we go along on our little house tour!  Some white resin frames, an ornament from the paper collection and more Stickles added a bit more glam to the outside of the house.

 

 

 

I used the ornament sheet for the walls inside, and as you can see, I also added a pink bottle brush tree, which I decorated with some pearls and Stickles in the Diamond colour.  I also added a battery operated light to give off some nice warm glow at night time.

 

 

Now on to the roof. I started off with some white chalk paint for the roof, then took some lace pieces from my stash and layered them on the roof. I then added some soft aqua fuzzy trim to pick up on the aqua in the paper, and then I added some beaded bridal appliques to each side.

 

 

The finishing touch to the roof, was more of the 5 Pointed Stars, which I stacked one on top of the other, varying in size. I painted and used two different kinds of glitter on them, then glued them with hot glue together and placed them on the roof.  I also used some glittered holly leaves and berries from a Christmas Pick I got at Michaels.

 

 

 

I added a seam binding bow to add more shabby goodness!

 

 

I added some beautiful beaded trim around the edge of the roof, from Kraftsupplies4U.

 

Here you can see another star with the house number, which is a brad from my stash. I used some white Chinese braid around the door, which I sprayed with some Prima Bloom spray in Soft Teal, so it would match the house colour.

The house comes with a door, which I painted in the same white chalk paint, glittered and added another star and pearl door knob.

 



 

I added another resin frame and cut another little image from the paper line to place above the door, and topped it off with one of the tiny stars from the 5 Pointed Star Set.

 

 

 

 

 The last little touch I did on the house was add some lovely flower trim from my stash, I love this trim it looks like flowers growing on a vine. I added more Stickles to the leaves and petals to pick up on the sparkle!

 

 

Here is a couple of more shots of the house!
