Magical Wee Books A White Rose Crafts DT Project

Good morning and happy October! I have some fun and magical wee books to share with you today, using some amazing products from White Rose Crafts.

I started off using some black cardstock from my stash and created my own wee little book using a chipboard base. I glued the chipboard to the cardstock on both sides and this formed the base of the books.

I used the American Crafts "Haunted Hollow" paper for the top of the books. This paper had different book covers on it, so it was perfect for this project.  I also used some Frayed Burlap Distress Ink to each of the books to make them look old and grungy.

I also used the Dress it up Halloween set, and used three of the little embellishments to decorate the covers of the tiny books.

I used old book pages inside the books to make them feel authentic and sewed in the signatures to each of the books. So, now they are real tiny books that can be open and read!

I added some of the ScrapBerry Witch Hat charms to the spines of each of the books so everyone knows just who they belong to!

I decided the books were not spooky enough so I added some "cobwebs" made with hot glue to each of the books, now they look old and like they have been sitting on someone's shelf for a very long time.

The finishing touch was some Imagine Crafts Sheer Shimmer Spray, this gave my books the magical sparkle they needed.

I hope you have enjoyed my wee magical books today, thanks for stopping by!

Shabby Opera Beauties Paper Clips White Rose Crafts DT

Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT Project for White Rose Crafts.

This time I have altered some large paper clips that were sent to me by a friend. I just loved them and wanted to use lots of fun WRC goodies to alter them.

I started off with the Juliet Paper from Scrapberry . I love this paper its so pretty and shabby and has lots of little images that work great for altering this type of thing.

I layered the paper first and added some laces to soften them.

I used some of the Distress Oxides in Shaded Lilac, Victorian Velvet and Vintage Photo to colour the chipboard frames.

I added some Recollections flowers to add some pink prettiness to them as well.

My last step was to add some Dovecraft Glitter glue to the frames to make them sparkle!

I love how they came out and I will be adding them to an upcoming journal soon.

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

Shabby Chic Pocket Letter 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 pocket letter, my very first time making one too!

I am using the Tim Holtz Page Pockets for the base, and also the Scrapberry Paper called Juliet for the paper pieces inside the pockets.

One of my new passions is doing dot mandela's and because I had some of the Chipboard butterflies to use for my pocket letter, I thought it would be fun to dot them up!

I painted them pink first and used my dotting tools to create a fun pattern on them which you can see

in the photo below. They look so pretty inside the pockets!

I tied the 2 pockets together with some pretty pink organza ribbon.

I also added a little ribbon rose, and some of the white lace from the WRC store.

The top left side of the pocket letter has a wooden key and lock from Kaisercraft wood flourish set.

Inside each of the pockets, I put a little surprise, in this one, I cut out an image from the paper and added 2 of the Tim Holtz mirrored stars for some sparkle.

My second butterfly looks so pretty with the Juliet paper in the background.  You can also see a little cameo head from the Kaisercraft wood flourish set.

 I also added some sequins to the top pocket to create a little shaker pocket. I also added one of the pink flowers from WRC Store.

I added more of the ribbon and one of the pretty heart buckle sliders from the WRC Store, this really added lots of bling to my pocket letter.

I had fun making my very first pocket letter. The items from the WRC store made is super easy for me, and I love adding my own spin to this type of project.

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

Slender Journal For White Rose Crafts DT

Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts

I was inspired by a video I saw by Creative Cafe Girl on Youtube, and also by a video by Roxycar11 on Youtube. They both were themselves inspired by a magazine article which featured this style of journal, and I wanted to give it a try too.

I am using the Art of Nature paper by Scrapberry for the base of my journal. The pages are 9 x 4 inches so very long and slender. I used some tea dyed sari silk to bind my pages together.

Once the pages were together, it was time to decorate. The Art of Nature paper from Scrapberry is so fun and pretty, it was a pleasure to decorate this journal!

The paper has lots of cut outs to use for journaling cards and sentiments.

I added some of the Tim Holtz paper dolls, and some butterfly ephemera for the wings on my people.

Here is the journal spread out once all the pages were decorated. 

I created an extra little note pad to journal in out of some coffee dyed paper and a piece of left over 

scrap paper from the collection. It is tucked in behind the two ladies for easy removal.

You also have the reverse side to decorate as well. I used some of the amazing laces in the WRC store to add some shabby chic touches to the pages.

All of my sentiments and embellishments got a coating of Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink to make 

them look more vintage.

I had so much fun making this slender journal, I hope you will give it a try too!

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