Midweek Magnolias DT Project # 175

Midweek Magnolias Challenge #175

Denim Jeans Tilda Book Box

Hi, thank you for dropping by :-) Today we have a new challenge #175 at Midweek Magnolia and it's Anything Goes...yay! I hope you'll come along and participate in the fun and in for a chance to win a prize and our sponsor is none other than Magnolia Rubber Stamps

... remember you have to be in it to win it :-) lol Good luck all!

My post today is an kraft alter book box from Graphic 45 which is a great gift for keepsakes or for yourself. I used Blissful Green papers from Anna Marie Designs to cover the box and distress the edges with off-white acrylic paint. Then I matted it with Blissful Peach and sewed a fancy stitch all around (you can see the corner peeking out on the top right lol) I stamped Denim Jeans Tilda on a Graphic 45 Tag and coloured it with Copics and tied it with sage green seamed ribbon and a beautiful diamante flower in the centre which I also used for the magnetic closure.

I put a Scrapiniec Grapevine oval frame over the image, other embellishments used are flowers from WOC, 49 and Market and Prima. Dies used are Doohickey Tilda Tag and Marianne Design Butterfly Border

More close-ups ...

I added a paper ribbon closure with a magnetic clasp which I made to keep your keepsakes secure inside :-)

Green Daisy ribbon from my stash

THANK YOU ALL FOR POPPING IN :-)

Hello everyone,

Thank you for coming round to my cabin:-) I hope you're all well, unfortunate for me, I have the lurgy flu :-( don't worry you won't catch it from here lol

Today I am posting this 12"x12" which I made for my daughter's 30th birthday yesterday sadly I couldn't go to her surprise dinner party as I was not too well. Back to the card, I used the beautiful papers Rossi Belle from Prima to layer. I stamped the large wings from Bee Crafty (she loves 'Wings') and embossed on a grey shimmery parchment paper and cut them out. I also stamped and cut out the numbers and pattern paper.

I embellished it with scroll chippie from 13arts, ephemeras, pearls and flowers from Rossi Belle, handmade paperclay clock

Hi there!

Thank you for popping by my cabin today :-) My first DT post for http://inkychicks.blogspot.co.uk the Theme is Anything But Square. The lucky winner will receive a prize of 15 Euros from our very generous Ally herself! Come on over and join the fun and good luck :-) This is a 12"x12" shabby chic with a bit of mixed media birthday card for a special friend. I used white corrugated with sprays from Prima. I matted it with the purple paper from Noor Paper Bloc which I put some modeling paste on through a script and net stencils. I used a gorgeous paper from 49&Market over with a slit on each end and rolled up the edges to create and a rip effect. I added a lovely cream lace and started to build my bouquet. Mixture of flowers used from 49 and Market, Prima and WOC. The resin pieces are from Prima too. Oh I forgot, I placed a chicken wire chippie from Dusty Attic before building the bouquet

Glass and gold micro beads here and there and a final touch of white acrylic paint.

Autumn Colours

Christmas Greetings

Hi!

Thank you for dropping by :-) my post today is an 8"x8" Christmas card in a slightly autumnal colours which I thought would perfect for the men or grand parents.

I stamped the large Holly Leaves from INDIGOBLU on paper from Trimcraft First Edition Jingle All The Way. And embossed it in copper and cut them out .

I matted and layered the card with paper from Creative Expression and embossed with Sue Wilson Embossing Folder. And the inner frame I used another piece from Jingle All The Way and a Mulberry paper Prima which I also embossed with Sue Wilson Folder.

I also cut out the Sentiments from Jingle All The Way Collection. I added jute string and Prima wire and placed my Large Holly Leaves with some frosted berries and beaded spiral embellishments. I made the mulberry poinsettias from WOC to finish off.
