Freebie Friday

This week's freebie is another one for butterfly fans.  And who doesn't love gorgeous butterflies?  This printable is great for cards, ATCs, and layouts. 

If you prefer the pdf file you can download it here. 

Christine created a card today using a part of the printable.  Don't you just love these beautiful butterflies!?!  And backed by one of our cardstock doilies adds just the right elegant touch!

Gears ATC Shrine by Dawn

Dawn with you today!  I recently hosted my first ATC swap.The variety and the diversity of the ATCs submitted was incredible. I got the idea to do the ATC swap because Gina's Designs sells these beautiful ATC shrines and I wanted some cards to put in the one I recently altered. Gina's Designs has many different styles available.

I covered this ATC shrine with Tattered Angels "Naturally Aged Paint System - Bare Metal." I sprayed a set of chipboard gears with the same Tattered Angles mists and adhered them to the shrine. Very simple and easy! 

 

Supplies Used:

ATC Shrine Screen

Gears Shape Set

Birds of a Feather Layout by Nancy

It's Wednesday and it's Nancy blogging with you today!  This layout features my cat "Timothy" who loves bird-watching from the wire enclosure outside his window.  This is one of the many outdoor enclosures we had built for the enjoyment of our multi-cat family and to keep them safe from harms way.  I used tons of chipboard embellishments from Gina's Designs on this one, including many of our newer items in the store.

My inspiration for this layout in both design and color comes from the very talented Charlotte aka Suepup sketch 0513.

Supplies Used:

Items from the Bird watching shape set

Large sized 8-inch doily sets (this one in Ivory)

Ornamental Birdcages Shape Set

Border sticks (this one in heart shape, other styles are available)

Decorative flourishes

For the birds shape set (I used the nest and eggs from this set)

Mini Album Display Case by Dawn

Dawn joining you today and I have a great project to share with you today! It is Gina's Designs' mini album display case. You can do so much with this display case - I had fun creating it. It is about 4.5" deep by 4.75" wide by 5.5" tall. It comes with the four mini albums and a little drawer which you assemble. The directions are included in the package. I followed the directions step by step and it worked out great! I have included a couple pictures below of what the albums look like at various steps to supplement the directions.

Mini Album Display Case by Heidi

Hello everyone it is Heidi with my mini album display box! This is a cute, fun and easy project.  Honestly, it only took a couple hours to complete all of this so do not be intimidated.   It comes with supplies to make 4 albums (as you will see I have made 2 of them).

Is this little drawer not the cutest? I lined mine with one of the little doilies and filled it with vintage charms.  The little know is Tim Holtz of course, I love so many of his items with these Off the Page items. 

One can never ever have enough of these fabulous doilies!!!  

 I decided to lightly decorate the sides of the display box with some distress ink and dressforms.

Here are the little albums that I put together and decorated.  The albums are little accordian style so you have the chipboard album and then you can add pages.

Supplies Used:
 Hinge straps
  Words & Phrases I
 Doilies
 Fashion Cameos
 Dress Forms
Labels 

I do hope you enjoy this project as much as I have- it really is a little treasure to keep or give away!

Mini Album Display Case by Lisa

Hi Everyone! It's Lisa here today and I am sharing my mini album display case.

 I had such a great time creating this project and I know you will too! This beautiful piece Gina designed houses four little mini albums.

I covered mine in Bo Bunny Mama Razzi Papers and inked all the edges. Gina's 

Miniature Bookplates Shapes gave the binders of my mini albums a special touch. I dabbed Tim Holtz distress paints on the chipboard bookplates in two different colors.

I added a button for my drawer pull and covered wooden spools in matching paper for my feet.

The top of my case was covered in flowers and butterflies!

I used Gina's Hinge Straps on the sides of the box. I covered them in modeling paste and then went over them with gesso. While the gesso was set I sprinkled on distress embossing powder and heat set it.

This is the back of the display case with a sweet butterfly and some bling!

Here is a photo of one of the little minis! Isn't it too cute!

I hope you enjoyed my project and don't forget to stop by the shop and pick up one of these cases for yourself!

Mini Album Display Case by Marjolaine

Marjolaine here today with my mini album display case from Gina's Designs. 

Since I was itching for a little mixed media I decided to paint my display case and albums but I'm thinking that it would also be fun to alter this piece with scrapbooking paper. 

I started off by covering the surfaces with music sheets and Mod Podge.

I sanded some of the rougher edges.

Covered the whole thing with gesso.

Added some bold colors of paint.

Stamped on some scraps of paper.

Cut my images out.

Added some texture by randomly stamping all over the case.

Adhered my flowers with Mod Podge.

Added more paint!

Painted the edges black.

Ripped some stems and leaves out of scraps of paper.

Outlined my stems and leaves with a green Big Brush Marker.

And Outlined all my flowers with a black pen.

I did much of the same on the albums but I haven't finished the inside yet. That will have to be for another day!
