Love Wall Art Kit by Guest Designer Pat

Hello everyone! Pat here with my first guest design project, the Love Wall Art Kit. I was so happy to be asked to be a guest designer for this month.  

Let me tell you briefly what I did for this project. Using DCWV's Once Upon A Time paper, I covered the 4x4 pieces. I then dry brushed white paint onto the corrugated pieces. Next, I painted the letters and one of the String Alongs - Hearts with FolkArt's Metallic Rose. I used some white lace from my stash to attach the letter pieces together to make the wall hanging.

I chose some pieces from the Valentine's Shape Set and painted them.  White feathers were added to the swans for wings.

I then added some bling throughout the entire project.

A sheer pink bow was added to the very top and a loop of ribbon for the hanger part.

Masquerade...Paper Faces On Parade...

Hello, this is Crafting Marfa today. I want to show you this wall hanging that I made using Gina's Designs's Masks Set and the XO XO Wall Hanging Kit.  I covered the background with white gesso.  Then I painted everything with black acrylic paint and covered it all with glaze.  However, for the mask I used Crackle Accents.  The crackle effect on the black paint makes it look like leather.  I love it!  I added a few flowers, some of Gina's Designs Fairies and couple of other things...and I was finished.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how this wall hanging turned out.  To be honest, though, I don't have it hanging on a wall.  I have it on a shelf, resting against the wall.  I really like how it looks there.  This is a project that can be made by beginners as well as more experienced crafters.  So give it a go!

A Mixed Media Layout by Melissa and Project Life by Heidi

We have two projects to share today, first up is Melissa:


Hi, it's Melissa here with my latest project for Gina's Designs.  I used these gorgeous wings as the main feature to frame the photo. I loved decorating them because they look so real and detailed, and so beautiful. I used texture paste on them, followed by several layers of lumiere paints. I added the little frog for fun and because my husband likes them.

Here is Heidi with a simple project to embellish your project life pages:

Hello everyone, Heidi here with something a little different.  Are any of you participating in Project Life or at least similar type memory keeping? I am working on a project and thought that I could use some of Gina's Designs products on these little cards.  So here I have made 2- 3x4 in cards and 1- 4x6 card.  I kept these cards clean and simple but had a great time with the chipboard pieces.  These will easily slip into my protectors.

A Double Layout by Kathi and a Wall Hanging by Angela

It's Kathi here to share a double layout I created by pairing Gina's Designs chipboard shapes and The Robin's Nest papers.  The title of this layout is "I'm So Glad My Heart Found You".

The papers I used were the "Dark Distress Red", and "Classic Roses" from the Wild About U Collection.  Our Gina's Designs Valentine themed chipboard shapes are a perfect fit to go with the papers.  I used the lips & the fancy heart from the Valentine Shape Set, and  added a string along heart to the left side of the photo mat and I used two pieces from The Robin's Nest embellishment page by cutting out the fancy journaling spot that goes with the paper collection. To the left side of the layout I placed a tall valentines card that was given to his wife. A few months after Feb 14 his life was cut short due to a freak accident while on vacation. The sentiment said "I'm so glad my heart found you",  Love Cliff. I then framed the layout so she can hang it on her wall.

This is the second page of the layout. I used the paper "Valentine Hearts" & "Classic Roses" on this one. The tag is from the embellishment page. From Gina's Store I used the Cupids from the "Cupid Shape Set". Both were painted with white gesso then stamped with Fire Brick Red Distress Ink using music notes. The love sign was also painted with white gesso. I placed a red piece of paper behind the sign & placed it on the tag.  The three hearts from the "Valentine Shape Set" were prepared using embossing ink and UTEE.

The string along love is out of the "String Along - Hearts".  I painted it red then white/clear glitter was added. I then added a 4 X 6 photo mat & a large wooden heart. The large heart was raised up using foam dots in order to insert a photo behind.  The red heart inside is removable to use as a template to size the photo to slip behind the heart.

Valentine Cards by Mary and Heidi featuring The Robin's Nest

Hello everyone!  Today we have more projects from our January cross promotional with The Robin's Nest. What could be more representative of Valentine's Day than some gorgeous cards!  First up today is Mary with three beautiful cards.

Happy Saturday! It's Mary here, and I am thrilled that it's the weekend!  Today I am sharing three cards I designed using Gina's cute chipboard pieces and paper from the Robin's Nest.

 

As you can see from the above photo, Gina's pieces work great on cards! I started each of my cards using white card stock.

For this card, I added Robin's Nest paper over the white base, then swans and a heart from the Valentine's Shape Set. I also used the words "together" and "forever" from the 10 Words set. I embossed all four of the chipboard pieces.

On the card above, I used more paper from The Robin's Nest, and topped it with some of Gina's Doilies and the "love" from one of the new String-alongs sets. Gina's chipboard pieces are so much fun to work with!

For my last card, I used one of Gina's doilies, cut in in half and layered behind strips of paper from the Robin's Nest. I embossed some double hearts from the Valentine's Shape Set, and used some of the alpha stickers from the Robin's Nest on top.

Thanks for stopping by and having a look. I have the items I used from Gina's Store and the Robin's Nest listed below. If you would like more details and a list for other products I used, please visit my blog HERE.

Have a great weekend!!

Next up are three more very different and very beautiful cards from Heidi.

Hello everyone, it is Heidi again and today I am showing off a project in collaboration with the Robin's Nest.  We got some really cute Valentine prints and so what could be cuter mixed with my Gina's Designs chipboard. 

Here is a photo of all the cards together. I kept all the backgrounds white and then layered the printed paper with red.  

This card uses a doily and one of the sweet little Valentine String Alongs- so darned cute!  

 This one was fun, a little block card with one of the heart pieces as a center.  

And then this final one has the most chippies on it- all misted with glimmer mist. These pieces are so easy to use on your Valentine projects, leave them natural or color them!  And you get lots of pieces!  

Don't wait though- get them now so you can work on those heart shaped goodies!

Mini Display Tray with The Robin's Nest

Hi there everyone, it's Shanna here.  I know we are getting closer to Valentines Day and I am excited to share a new project with you I created using Gina's Designs products and The Robin's Nest!

I love how this mini display tray turned out. You can load it up with tons of embellishments or keep it simple like I did to give to someone. 

I painted all my chipboard with the red paint and let it dry then dabbed on the silver paint.

I gave everything a good coat of crackle accents to add more texture to this creation. 

I couldn't help adding a little something to the flowers too!
