Fall Banner by Melissa and Halloween Stage by Nancy

Hello Crafty Friends! Today we two designers on the blog, both celebrating the upcoming Fall season. First up is Melissa with our Fall Banner kit. Several of our Team Members have been creating with this kit, and I'm amazed at how each one has been so different and unique.

Hi Melissa here for Gina's Chipboard Laser Designs.

I prepped all the chipboard with gesso. On the banner I applied texture paste with a stencil. I put on mica powder over black acrylic paint, followed by a layer of Mod Podge Dimensional Glaze. I painted on Twinkling H2Os in the blue purple color you see here. To define the edges more I brushed on small amounts of liquid pearls in orange and green.

The spider webs are glossy accents over black acrylic paint. I put on a little Twinkle H20 paint to hightlight the webs. The ghost on the far right is glossy accents over the gesso.

Next up is Nancy with our Altered Art Stage decorated in a Halloween theme.

Hello Everyone, it's Nancy here sharing one of my favorite pieces from the Altered Art section of our store. This is my second time working with the Stage. This time around I chose to create a Halloween project since it's my favorite theme to scrap this time of year.

I began by painting my assembled stage in black, then I papered it with The Enchanted Collection by Authentique. To decorate my stage I used various collage sheet images, and Gina's Designs chipboard shapes.

Thanks for looking!

Curio Cabinet by Heidi

Happy Monday!

Good morning ladies, Heidi here!
This weekend I decided to set to work on my Gina's Designs Curio Cabinet. I knew when I

first saw it in the store I had to give it a try although honestly it did not turn out the way I had envisioned it but I am very happy with it.

I initially painted it ivory, thinking I would distress it and then when it was over it looked good but so plain. So then I chose to cover it with designer paper- Crate Paper. Then I started painting the doors and detailed areas as the ivory didn't work with the paper. I guess my goal was a little old fashioned cabinet sitting in a dining room somewhere. So I thought, what else would be in that dining room? What about a chandelier?

I painted the chandelier with some adirondeck paints in pool and then I covered the entire thing with some glitter and added a bow. It really does look pretty on the side. And what else was in grandma's dining room...... a bird cage of course.

What do you think? I was thrilled that I could paint all these items to match this awesome paper. I then wanted to add a few little trinkets inside of the cabinet. Now as you can see I have a little wreath hanging on the front (in honor of the season coming up). But when you open the door- just a few little jars and platters.

I used a few little glass jars on the inside along with making a few little platters or layered items to represent some little trinkets inside the cabinet. I had a few little spools and some beaded pins. I just thought vintage would work best.

I do hope you enjoyed this project and remember you can get it at Gina's Designs!
