Book Box

Well good morning and good day to you all. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far!!!

Shanna here with a new creation to share with you that I created for Gina's Designs.

She has these awesome Book Boxes in the store in three different sizes to choose from:

Small Box, Medium Box, and Large Box.

I covered the book in some Graphic 45 papers and Petaloo flowers. 

The leafy clusters were first painted in gesso. Then they were painted with acrylic paint and given texture by using a heat gun to create bubbles.

Here you can see the texture perfectly.

Layout by Donna and Cross Promotion Projects by the Craftsupplies1 Team

Hello Friends!  Today we have lots of inspiration to share.  First up we have our team member Donna sharing a gorgeous layout, and following that we are sharing more of the amazing October cross promotional projects created by the team at Craftsupplies1.  

It's Donna here today to share a fall layout using one of Gina's beautiful flourished frames.

I wanted to keep this layout very simple because I wanted the gorgeous Flourished Frame - Bella to be the star of the show! It's a really beautiful design! 

I prepared the chipboard frame with a coat of white gesso. I then painted it with Tattered Angels, Palm leaf, glitter paint. While still wet, I added pine needles and orange embossing powder.

I only glued the middle frame part down so that I could pull up and lightly twist up the leaves.

Thank you so, so much for stopping by Gina's and taking a look at my Fall layout!

Hello friends! Today we would like to share more of the truly amazing projects by the Craftsupplies1 team for our Cross Promotional this month. We have been so inspired by Julie's team and are so grateful for all their hard work and creativity!

Here we have a dual take on our large alarm clock. The left hand side is created by Becky C, and on the right by Corene P. These ladies have done an outstanding job and really have shown the versatility of this piece. Great work Ladies!

Next up we have a wonderful creative take on our large spool.  This was created by DT Member Codi as well. She has incorporated our trees and given them some sparkle and shine! We love the fantasy look of the spool and the Craftsupplies1 parchment flowers add a gorgeous finishing touch.

And last but not least we have some fun and different projects from Ashley B. and Kristina O.

Ashley has stepped outside of the box creating these very cool canvas'. She has done them up in a shabby tea theme, with some of the tea string alongs, and alarm clock frame ups.  They would look amazing hanging in any kitchen or tea room!

On the right Kristina has altered one of our ATC shrines. We love the pretty in pink tones, which mix with some of the new fabric flowers that Craftsupplies1 has in stock.

A Themed Shadowbox by Donna and a Spooky Altered Book Box by Deann

Hello Friends!  Today we have two amazing projects to share, first up is Donna with another of our October cross promotional projects.

Welcome scrappy friends! Today I am sharing a 7 x 7 Shadow Box from Gina's Designs along with a gorgeous brown fabric rose spray from Craftsupplies1.

 

I just love the pearl sprays!

I used two sizes of the new Layered Flourishes. These are so cool! I painted the top and bottom pieces with white gesso. For the top piece of the small flourish, I used a walnut stain distress paint dabber, then lightly rubbed on Inka Gold when the paint was dry.

 

I used weathered wood crackle paint on the top piece of the large flourish. The large flourish is straight like the smaller version, but I cut it in half to make a "corner" I used weathered wood crackle paint on the top piece of the large flourish. The large flourish is straight like the smaller version, but I cut it in half to make a "corner" flourish.

All of the dress forms were covered with white gesso and then painted with distress crackle paint.

This was a really fun project! I hope you will take a look at the cute Themed Shadow Boxes and the NEW Layered Flourishes! 

Thank you so much for taking time today to stop by Gina's!!!!

Next up is Deann with a Halloween project she has created with one of our book boxes.  She has used the box in a fun and unique way!

Good morning, Deann Here with a Spooky Book Of Spells!

I used a Book Box- Small to make my Spell Book. On the cover I added one of the Spiderweb Shape Sets and a spider ring.  I wrote the word spells in hot glue. To try this yourself, let the hot glue dry, then cover with masking tape. Use a stylus or something with a round tip to emboss around all of the raised areas. Add a coat of Gesso, when dry add Dark Brown or Black craft paint. I rubbed Gold paint over the raised parts.

The inside of the box has been painted Black. I made a dimensional grave yard scene inside 

 I used a Raven from the Spooky Shape Set.

 This would look so cool sitting open on a book shelf!

I used the small box but there are three sizes to play with :)

Bird's Nest Book Box by Melissa with Gina's Designs and CraftSupplies1

Hi, Melissa  here with an altered Book Box from Gina's Designs Lasercuts.  I also used items from Craftsupplies 1.

The leaf chipboard is painted with gesso, then watercolors, Dylusions Ink Mist, Liquid Pearls, and topped with Mod Podge Dimensional Magic.  The book box was very easy to assemble, and sturdy.   It was a pleasure to work with.

The flowers from CraftSupplies1 took watercolor tints beautifully. When they were still damp I changed the shape  a little from the original . I love flowers and these were wonderful.

Parisian Book Box

Good morning peeps!  Crafting Marfa here to bring you another DT for Gina's Designs project.  This is one of my favorites so far!  I know, I know..where is the usual tutorial?  Well, this week I am switching it with Thursday.  Instead, today I want to share with my Parisian Book Box.

I heart this box!  It is big, it is roomy and it actually looks like a book!  This is a hardboard book by Gina's Designs.  I wanted to do a very Parisian theme.  Something that I could put out on display as well as making it functional.  I store my dies in there now.  Everything that you see here, except for the flowers and the trim, are all chipboard shapes from Gina's Designs.  I used an awesome gold paint pen to outline everything.  The paint is inexpensive acrylic.  I added Crackle Accents to almost everything.  I am obsessed with Crackle Accents :-)  Oh, and do NOT forget the tiny bird!  Do you see it?  Its on the the I of Paris. 

Check out the video for a closer look.  And keep scrolling for a list of supplies!

Book Box with Simply Monica

Hi everyone Monica here to share one of Gina's Designs newest additions.  The Book Box it is really the coolest thing.  The binding is webbed like which is how it is able to expand and bend,  you have to buy one to really see what i am talking about.  Once you open it up there is a compartment you can use to store items in.  They also come in 2 additional sizes.

 The gorgeous fairy is from Gina's Garden Fairy collection and they are available in smaller sizes this is one of the bigger pieces. I applied gesso and modeling paste to different areas with a stencil and painted and sort of smeared the paint with my fingers along different parts of the paper.  I stamped on the fairy I just hate painting over the chippie sometimes.  I love how they look naturally.

 I applied the gold paint to the leaves to add some shine and color to them

It is hard to tell but I also painted the mesh ribbon with some paint to make it match the colors I chose to use.  I love how it all turned out and I hope everyone enjoyed my project for today.
