Mixed Media Tags ScraPerfect DT

Good morning friends, Kim here today with my next project for ScraPerfect.

I have altered some garment tags this time, and the Best Glue Ever was the perfect compliment to making these tags.

I used some of my Distress Oxide Spray in Picked Raspberry, and then my Prima Bloom Spray in Cotton Candy. I wanted similar pink hues in the background and this achieved it.

Once the spray was dry it was time to get out the Best Glue Ever and glue down my rose images that were from a vintage gardening book.

I then added some coordinating fabric, some pink glittery thread and one of the Tim Holtz paper dolls, all glued down with the Best Glue Ever.

I love the tone on tone style of the tags, and the black and white images just pop on the hot pink flowers!

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

Thanks for stopping by!

Tag Making with The Best Glue Ever ScraPerfect DT

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

I am doing a tag swap in a Facebook group, and was tasked with making 5 tags for it. 

The Best Glue Ever made the job so much easier!

I used the glue to put all my tags together.

It was also helpful in making my tag embellishments.

I also used The Best Glue Ever on some chipboard, which I layered under my sentiments to make them pop up on the tags.

I used paper from Prima and Tim Holtz for the tags.

This little beauty also has a Tim Holtz paper doll on it, and I used The Best Glue Ever to attach his wings!

I hope you like my project today, and found some inspiration here.

 I had so much fun making these tags.

Mixed Media ATC's Using Distress Oxides & Water White Rose Crafts DT

Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts. This week the team are working with the water activated inks that WRC has in stock. I chose to use my favorite Distress Oxides for my ATC's.

I started off with some Paintable paper from The Tales of You and Me collection by Prima, and cut the paper down to ATC size, which is 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches. This particular paper pad is sold out in the WRC store, but they do have the Salvage District Paintable paper in stock and that would work for this project.

Now on to the Oxides! I used several colours, but started off with the Evergreen Bough. I smeared some on my craft mat and then activated it with water. I then took my atc and ran it thru the activated ink and the pattern on the paper appeared like magic!

This is just one way to activate the Distress Oxides with water, the second way is to go direct to paper with your ink. I did that below with my other colours Dried Marigold....

Peacock Feathers, and also I used Victorian Velvet. All can be found in the WRC Store!

Here is the result on the paper of all 4 of my ATC's.

Now its time to activate them with the water. I am using a spritzer bottle from my local dollar store for this. It has a nice fine mist on it, so I get good coverage with the water.

Here is the result once it is dry.

Now on to some background stamping using the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Stamp set called French Market.

To add embellishments to my ATC's I am using the Kaisercraft wood flourishes and also the Melissa Francis resin key embellishments. I gave them all a coat of white paint.

Now its time to put them all together. I added some lace to the background for some fun texture, my embellishments and also a Tim Holtz small talk phrase to finish them off.

I also added some Recollections flowers and some Dress It Up button embellishments for some fun.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today and will check out all the White Rose Crafts items in the shop!

Mini Art Journal White Rose Crafts DT

Good morning Rosies! Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts.

This time I have created a fun mini art journal!

You are going to be seeing me use this little journal over the coming weeks as I create some fun art pages in it using more White Rose Crafts items, I can't wait!

The first step to making this journal is to gather up all my little bits and pieces I have left over from all my other White Rose Crafts projects.  I keep all my scraps in a bin when I am finished a project, and this is such a great way to use them up.

Once I have decided what I am going to use, I stack them on top of each other, remembering not to use too many as I wanted to sew down the centre of the papers on my sewing machine so they would be attached to each other.

Once I sewed all the papers together, I used a couple of pieces of Lemoncraft Yesterday Ephemera for my cover of my little journal. I used black thread on my journal to make it stand out and used a zig zag pattern as well for some fun.

I stacked two of the ephemera pieces together and added some sparkly blue tulle in between the cards for texture.

Once that was done, it was time to work on the cover for the journal. I used some fun material from my stash, and ended up making the journal 5 x 7 inches. This is a great size for a small journal as it can fit inside a purse and you can take it anywhere with you.

Once the cover was complete, I sewed in the paper stack by just doing another stitch down the middle of the paper and cover. Don't forget to back stitch so you have a good locking stitch and your journal won't come apart.

I attached some more of the fabric to the side of the journal for a closure.

Here you can see the inside of the completed journal.

I hope you like my little journal. I will be working on this journal over the next month and creating some art inside it to share with you all! So stay tuned for some fun White Rose Craft art journal pages from me. I have a complete list of the paper scraps I used for my journal below for you. 

I hope you will make one of these fun little journals for yourself with all your White Rose Crafts goodies and scraps!

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

Fairy Nice Tags for White Rose Crafts Design Team

Good morning everyone, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts. This time I have created some fun mixed media tags!

These tags are really fun to make and with all the great items from White Rose Crafts,  these tags are a super quick and easy project!

I started off with the 6 x 6 Paintable paper from Prima and cut out my tag shapes.

Next, I used my Distress Oxide in Tumbled Glass and Distress Ink in a darker blue colour for contrast. I smooshed them onto my craft pad and spritzed them with water so the paintable paper would pick up on the inks and give a lovely water colour effect on the tag.

I heat set the colours and then used the Gathered Twigs Distress Ink around the edges of the tag to give them a vintage feel.

The next step was to tear up some paper, I used the Victorian Kitchen 2 paper as I loved the soft muted colours in it and decopaged the paper to the tags.  I also added some drywall tape as well, as I love it for mixed media and it adds some great texture.

Now its time to work on the ephemera. I am using some butterflies and Tim Holtz dolls from my stash and edging them in more of the gathered twigs Distress Ink.

I did some scribbles on the background for some extra fun.

I added some distressed twine around the tag for texture.

 Now its time to add my ephemera to the tag. I also used some Dovecraft glitter glue to the wings and the dolls to give them some sparkle!

I hope you like my project today and have found some inspiration here!
