Trim Organizers

Hello everyone! Mary here with two more trim organizers. I did one awhile back (click HERE if you want to check it out!) and realized one was not enough for my happy stash of lace. These boxes are quick and easy to put together! Once the boxes where assembled, I painted them both on the inside with brown acrylic paint.

Both boxes were covered with paper from the KellerKurtz & Company paper stack, lace and box feet from Tim Holtz. For the button borders, I first applied gesso. Once the gesso was dry, I embossed both the button border in the above picture with Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel by Stampendous. Once cool, pink twine was inserted into three of the buttons.

For the button border in the pictures below, I started out the same way. This time while the Aged Ivory was still in it's melted state, I added some sprinkles of Aged Rose Embossing Enamel and applied heat.

While the border was cooling, I worked on the five loose buttons (these are included when you order the button border!). I left the chipboard in it's natural color and just applied Walnut Stain Distress Ink to the outside edges. Pink twine was then inserted into all five. When the border was cool, I glued them onto the button border.

 

Now all I have left to do is put my lace on the paper covered cards!

Even though I'm not exactly the most organized person in the world in a lot of ways, I LOVE organizers!! Lynne here with my version of the trim organizer from Gina's store. My scraproom is painted pale grey, so these FabScraps papers were perfect for this project.

After assembling the box (which is delightfully easy!) and papering it all, I sanded the edges, then inked them with Ranger distress ink in Weathered Wood. After adding a strip of lace and the word tag, I painted the Feathery Flourishes and the wooden beads (which were used for feet) with acrylic paint and attached them, then finished the project with strands of clear iridescent pearls.

The cards were papered and inked with the same products, then I had fun filling them with some gorgeous laces and trims from my stash (which incidentally freed up a drawer for more chippies! yay me!)

I kept the decoration of my organizer fairly simple, but the sky's the limit! You could use any papers or mediums to cover it, and you could add all sorts of different embellishments to create any look you want. I hope you stop by Gina's store to have a look at this and other great organizers! Have a terrific week!

Trim Organizer by Kim C.

This week I put together this trim organizer. 

 Let me start with telling you my funny story.  I was in the process of finishing up this project when I accidentally hit my cup of coffee.  I have never moved so fast trying to move stuff off my desk!!!  I was able to save about 90% of my project but still lost some very nice paper in the process.  

I love the way it turned out even with some coffee stains on it!!
 

First I adhered paper from my stash, and then used a clock stencil and modeling paste to give texture.  Some lace and trim from my stash was then added and then some ornate metal feet to the corners of the organizer.

 

The hanging clock has about 4 coats of gesso on it.  If you look really close you can see it has also been coffee stained!!!  Not the look I was going for, but it works!!

I then started layering flowers to make this beautiful flower spray.

On this corner of the organizer I added some more flowers and a metal clock piece.  You can see some of the texture I added with the modeling paste and stencil.

I added paper to the lace dividers, but only to two of them.  Due to the mishap with the coffee, I was unable to save the rest of the paper.  But these two look great!!

 

I hope you like my project this week and had a little chuckle!!

Vintage Trim Organizer

Hello friends, welcome to Gina's Designs Laser Cuts Blog!  Today I'm sharing a project with you that every scrap room needs.  It's not only a fun project to create but it's useful too.  If you've shopped around Gina's Shop, you would find many useful storage solutions for your scrap room.  The storage solution I'm sharing is the Trim Organizer that stores several laces and trims.  I chose to decorate with vintage papers to coordinate with my scrap room.

It comes with 12 cards/spools for your trims and fits into two slots in the trim organizer.

This is what it looks like before I covered it with patterned paper and lace trims.

It will require a little assembly but it's very easy to put together.  The notches simply fit together and all you will need to do is adhere them together.

After I adhered the patterned paper to the box and the cards/spools, I inked all the edges and added my trims to each card.  I also made stick pins in coordinating colors to match the lace.  I also added some sewing shapes such as a sewing machine, needles and thread, scissors from the Vintage Seamstress Shape set.  I simply inked them with chalk ink and adhered them to the cards.

To add a finishing touch I simply added a button.

Thanks for stopping by Gina's Blog today!  Make sure you pick up your own lace trimmer from Gina's store!  You will adore this project!!

Trim Organizer By Bonnie

Hi Everyone, and Happy Friday! Today we have Guest Designer Bonnie, who has created this stunning Trim Organizer. She has created something very beautiful, and used several of our chipboard items to decorate it.

You can see above here that Bonnie has created a lovely shabby vintage look and used some of the words and phrases, cardstock doilies, clock hands, tulip scroll corners and even half of a steampunk heart on the right hand side and adorned it with some beautiful flowers as well!

We love how she has decorated the box with all these gorgeous trims, laces and flowers!

Here are more of the words and phrases used on the lace spools that come with the trim organizer, and she has also added some more of the tulip scroll corners in the back.

Here is a side view of the box, where Bonnie has decorated it with one of our flourish pieces and more lace and flowers. She has added some feet to the bottom of the box for a finishing touch.

Thanks so much Bonnie we just love it!

Trim Organizer and A Look at some of the CraftSupplies1 Projects

Welcome to the blog today everyone. Mary here with my first cross promotion project with CraftSupplies1! After putting this one organizer together, I realized I was going to need MANY more! You get a great box with 12 cards to wrap your choice of trim around.  The heart trim seen in the picture below is from CraftSupplies1. It comes in a bright white and as you can tell, it can be colored! I use a combination of the Tea Dye Refill Ink watered down and coffee.

 

All the fabulous flowers are also from Craftsupplies1 as are the metal circles. The filigree heart is part of the Filigree Frames Shape Set available at Gina's Designs.

The pearl trim is another fun product available from CraftSupplies1.

As you can see, I have decided to use this box for my laces (okay some of my laces). I attached the lace with a simple stick pin to keep it from unwrapping.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. For more pictures and information on how I put this organizer together, please visit my blog HERE!
