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

Rose Crafts Store.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have found some inspiration here today!

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

Bright White Heart Lace and the Ivory White Floral Lace as well.

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

  Recollection flowers and a Melissa Frances Chipboard Button, and a metal Memories

 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!

Mixed Media Tag For ScraPerfect

Good morning ScraPerfect Fans, Kim here with my next DT project. This time I have created a vintage inspired mixed media tag, which is also done with some upcycling!

I used some old packaging from Prima for the base of my tag. The packaging is sturdy cardboard and makes a great base for adding layers, paint and embellishments.

I layered some vintage book paper, fabric and lace on my tag, and used The Best Glue Ever to hold it all down. Of course I used my No Clog Writing Cap which is always on my glue bottle!

I added a Tim Holtz Paper doll and some Wings from his Botanical set behind her for a whimsical look.  The Paris Tag has been coffee dyed, as well as the fabric I used to make my flowers I added to the base of the tag.

I added some blue bling and a doily as well as some white paint splatters to finish off the tag.

I hope you like my project today, don't forget to check out ScraPerfect!

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

Vive la France Altered Box ScraPerfect DT

Good morning ScraPerfect Fans! Kim here today with my next DT Project for ScraPerfect.

This time I have altered a box I got from my local dollar store.

Firstly, I covered the paper mache box with a good coat of DecoArt Media gesso.

I decoupaged a Paris themed napkin on the top of the box , then I painted

 the sides of the box with some Prima Art Alchemy paints in two different colours of Pink. After that was dry, I added some white chalk paint over the top to match the colour of the napkin.

I used The Best Glue Ever to adhere down some texture, using some mica flakes, glitter glass and micro beads on various areas of the box.

Next, I again used the Best Glue Ever to add some wooden hearts. I have the No Clog Writing Cap on my glue which makes for easy and smooth coverage of the glue to all my embellishments.

I also added more of the glitter glass to the wooden hearts to add some extra sparkle.

I added several laces and trims from my stash around the box to give it a lovely shabby chic look.

To finish off the box I added a handmade flower, resin cherub and a small wicker heart to the side.

Once again, here is the finished box, just in time to put a Valentine surprise inside for some one special!

Please check out the ScraPerfect Store for the items I have used to create my project.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have found some inspiration here!

Parisian Altered Book A Shabby is Chic Boutique DT Project

 

Good morning SCB fans! I am here to share my next DT project for Shabby is Chic Boutique on Zibbet.  This time I have created an altered composition book, in a Parisian Style. 

 

 

I started off by covering the book with this gorgeous blue and white ticking fabric from the SCB store. I used some quilt batting under the material to make it feel more dimensional, and also very soft to hold when I am writing in it.

 

 

I covered both sides of the book in the material.

 

I also found this gorgeous image on Pinterest and printed it off on some fabric. I stuffed the image with more of the quilt batting, and it really gave it a very soft and feminine look. 

 

 

 

Once I finished stuffing the image, I began to work with some of the gorgeous laces and trims from the SCB store.  I also used one of the new, and so beautiful fabric roses in white, which you can see below. It has some amazing pearls and ribbon bow attached to it, just gorgeous!

 

 

 I framed the image with some of the white tulle trim first, then layered on some white embroidered floral trim, and some lovely soft grey trim from SCB. Once I was happy with the layering of the laces,  it was time to add the embellishments.

 

 

The first thing I reached for was this amazing vintage looking cameo pin. I am a collector of cameo's and this one from SCB is one of my most favorites. I will cherish it on the front of this book!

 

 I also added some of the scallop lace trim, in a soft grey to the side of the book, capping the top of the book off with a bow in some of the script ribbon in white.

 

 

 

I also used the same script ribbon for a tie closure on the inside of the book.

 

I used more of the scallop trim in white on the top of the book, and a tiny soft grey trim from my stash at the very edge of the book to finish that off.

 

For the bottom of the book, I used some of the white dangle trim from SCB, and more of the same soft grey lace I used around the image to tie it all together.

 

For the inside of the book, I carried the same fabric on inside, and added another free image from Pinterest in matching colours.  I edged the book in some light blue Chinese Braid, and edged the photo with some crochet trim from my stash.

 

Beneath the image, I created a pocket using some of the same white trim from the front of the book from the SCB shop. I also used more vintage laces from my stash in matching colours  as well.

 

 

 

 

I finished off the inside cover with a few small soft grey appliques and ribbon roses in white, from my stash.

 

 

 

For the back cover, I kept it simple with the layering of two laces from the SCB store to the top of the book.

 

 

 

For the base of the back of the book, I printed off my name and the date in fabric and added some left over SCB lace to surround it.

 

 

Once again, here is the finished composition book.

 

 

I hope you have found some inspiration here today, and will check out the SCB store for all these amazing items you have seen here today!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!
