Princess Gift Box White Rose Crafts DT

Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT Project for White Rose Crafts. This time I have upcycled a left over chocolate box into a pretty gift box for a friend.

I am using the Graphic 45 Princess Collection from the WRC Store.

I used Mod Podge to keep the paper on the box, and did the outside and inside with the same paper line from G45. I added some of the Dovecraft glitter glue in Crystal to add lots of sparkle to the flowers and crown, and the dresses on the Princesses, on the image of the papers.

I added some vintage laces and doily with a fun resin embellishment to the inside cover of the box.

The paper is so pretty, I didn't want to over embellish, but let the paper do the talking!

The top and bottom of the box.

For decorating the top of the box, I used some more pretty laces from my stash around the edge of the box to soften the look.

I used lots of pretty Prima and Recollections flowers from the White Rose Crafts store to decorate the box as well. I also added a vintage bling piece to the box as well.

I also added more flowers to the top of the box, another fun bling piece and some silk sari ribbon to finish it off.

Once again, here is the finished gift box.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today and will check out all the great items in the White Rose Craft Store!

Fairy Lace Canvas for Shabby is Chic Boutique DT

 

Good morning friends, and happy Friday. I am sharing today my fairy lace canvas for Shabby is Chic Boutique on Zibbet.

 

 

This is a simple and easy project to do, and it uses up lots of lace fragments from your stash. If you are like me, you have lots of left over laces from other projects, and well, also I do tend to hoard them a bit ;)

 

So, lets get started!

 

Firstly, I am using mainly laces from Shabby is Chic Boutique. This first lace in the photo below is a gorgeous two toned stretch lace, I used some of my sprays to colour the lace a similar colour to the dress that the fairy image is wearing.

 

 

I began on one side of the 5'' x 7'' canvas, and layered on one lace after another. I did not bother to cut the laces to make them even, I wanted it to have a vintage and tattered look.

 

 

I used the gorgeous butterfly dangle trim from SCB, which you can see in the photo above, and kept layering on other beautiful laces and trims, some that I sprayed and some were already the colours that I wanted. I kept layering on until I was happy with how it looked. I glued everything down with FabriTac Glue.

Once I had the rows of laces done. I used this beautiful white floral applique from SCB and placed it in the bottom right corner of the canvas.

 



 

On top of the applique, I placed this stunning pearl and bling piece also from SCB.

 

 

I then used some of my Prima Leaves, which I glittered up with silver glitter. I wanted my fairy to look magical and have some sparkle!



 

 

I used double sided foam tape on the back of my fairy. She was a free image I got from The Graphics Fairy.  I used some more glue on top of the tape to make sure she was glued down well.

Once she was in place, I decided to add this amazingly beautiful pearl and bling crown from Shabby is Chic Boutique. I just adore this bling piece, it really sparkles and add dimension.

 



 

Next up I wanted to add an initial to the bottom left corner of the canvas. This canvas is going to a dear friend of mine for her birthday, and I wanted to personalize it with her initial.

I painted the wooden letter, which is from Fernli Designs.

 



 

Once the paint was dry, I added more of the silver glitter to it, to pick up on the glitter in the fairies wings.

 

 

....And here she is. I hope my friend will love her as much as I do.

 

 

I hope you will try this quick and easy project for yourself. Please remember to check out the Shabby is Chic Boutique store on Zibbet and Please join the Facebook Group HERE

Mixed Media Art for Shabby is Chic Boutique DT

Good morning Shabby is Chic Boutique fans. Today I am doing something fun and different with my lovely items from Shabby is Chic Boutique Store. 

 

 

As you can see I have created these 4 x 5 inch canvases, using lots of mixed media and items from the SCB store. I started off with using this  gorgeous rose napkin from the store. I cut out some of the roses, and also used some of my Prima paper, which I tore into pieces as well, and then adhered it down to the canvas with matte medium.

 

 

Once the glue was dry, I too some of my embossing paste and gave a texture coat with it in various spots on the canvas to create dimension.

 

Now it was time to play with my embellishments. I used the Love Key from SCB, and also the small spoon with crown. I am also using lots of Prima Clay items that I created using the IOD moulds. I gave the all a coat of gesso and then used some sprays and the Prima Metallic Paint in Rose Gold on top. The final touch was spritzing them with water and adding some Carmel alcohol inks to make them look more dimensional.

 

 

Now it is time to start layering on the pieces to the canvas. I also added the heart doily and the white mini doily from SCB.

 

My finishing touch was adding some micro beads to the canvas to add more texture, and I also added some gorgeous Prima flowers as well.

 

 

The gorgeous little girl cabochons in the middle of the canvas are also from SCB!

 

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you will give a project like this a try, it was so fun to do!

Fairy Pennant Banner featuring Chipboard by Southern Ridge Trading Company

Hello friends, I have been super busy in my studio, and I will be sharing lots of projects coming up in the next few weeks. Today, I have created a fun and shabby pennant banner for a dear friend of mine. It is all about pink and fairies!

I am featuring some chipboard today from Southern Ridge Trading Company located here in Canada.

 

 

I started this pennant out by cutting a piece of chipboard at 8 x 5 inches, and covered it with some pretty Kaisercraft paper.  Once it was covered in paper, I layered on some lovely laces from Lavish Laces on Etsy. 

 

Once I was happy with the laces and trims, I got out some chipboard from Sothern Ridge Trading Company. I used the Flourish hair fairy which I just love she is so gorgeous!  I also used the word Imagine from the Word Mix 1 set.  I put gesso all over the chipboard and then gave them a light coat of some Prima Art Alchemy paint in Rose Gold colour. After the paint was dry, I used some Frantage Shabby Pink embossing powder on both pieces and finally, edged them with a Prima pink chalk edger go give them dimension.

 

For the fairy, I wanted her to be more dimensional, so I used one of the butterfly from the Butterfly Mix and cut off one of the wings and propped it up on the fairy with some glue. Behind the wing, I added some soft white feathers and that finished her off nicely.

 

 

 

 

I added a glad bobble to the fairies hand, which I coloured with pink alcohol ink. I also placed a white rosette beside her with some pearls and ribbon roses in the middle.

 

 

 

I added some gorgeous Prima flowers to the top and also some of the lovely IOD moulds from Prima which I gave a similar paint treatment as the chipboard, to keep everything similar. 

 

 

At the base of the pennant I added some butterfly appliques from my stash, which I sprayed with a dusty rose colour of spray. I then added some feathers behind them and topped it off with another pretty Prima flower.

 

 

 

 

 I hope you like my project today, and please check out Southern Ridge Trading Company! They are a Canadian chipboard company, and that is great for us crafty Canucks!
