November

Hey everyone Monica here and November is just right around the corner.  Time for turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoe pie and more stuffing and more pie and... anyways you get the idea.  Today I made a project using one of Gina's newest releases.  Reliquary Arch Top and Fern Fronds.  I added some G45 patterned paper to it and then I used my gold leafing pen to outline the outer piece.

 I distressed the fern frond  from with Tim Holtz distress inks - these work well with chipboard

I added this brooch to the top of the reliquary and added some flat back pearls

Well I hope everyone enjoyed my post for today and thanks for stopping by and go check out the store lots of new goodies!!!

Vintage Shabby Chic Camera Box by Kim

 

 Vintage Shabby Chic Camera Box

 

Hi Everyone, its Kim here today to share with you this lovely Vintage Shabby Chic Camera Box I have created. When I saw this box in Gina's Shop, I knew I had to have it. I have a family of photographers and I really wanted to create this for someone special in my family.

I had so much fun altering this, and I decided to keep it in the white, creams, and black tones.

 

 

I have used several of Gina's other Chippys, including the Film strip, arrow, and frame around the view finder all from the "Say Cheese" set, along with the cogs and gears, and steampunk doily which you will see is behind the "lens" of the camera!

 

 

The lid lifts off to reveal the shabby chic interior, I have used some vintage laces down either side of the box, which I also painted with some white acrylic paint, then sanded it down to give it more of a vintage look.

 

Here is a side view of the box, you can see its unique construction, creatively imagined by Gina to resemble an old vintage Camera!

Front view of the box, you can see it is very dimensional and the lens which is made of wood really stands out!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you like what I have created for you today.

Altered Autumn Birdhouse

I love Autumn.  Even though I don't get a real Autumn feel here in Miami, I still enjoy the activities, the decorations and I watch a lot of photos online...LOL  As you know by now if you have been following my blog for a while, I love to alter birdhouses.  This is one of those little wooden ones.  It is the newest addition to my collection. 

To decorate it, I used the Fall Shapes Set by Gina's Designs.  It has some A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E shapes!  I covered the apples with acrylic paint and then I used Ultra Thick Embossing Powder for dimension and shine.  I did the same with the leaves and the squirrels.  But on the apples I did several layers, while on the other shapes I only did one layer of UTEE.  I created the windows using the bookplates set.  They look like the perfect little window frames...lol  Of course, there was a lot of glitter and I used sequins as tiles.  For flowers I used chipboard gears.  OK, so gears don't really jump at you as flowers, but that's where you have to use your imagination!  Scroll down for a list of products and for a short video where I show you more details!

Winter Home Decor

Dawn Rene here with you to share an off the page project. It is like a shadow box - shallower and with no dividers. It is called a Doily Box. The particular set I used was titled "Noel" and is 10" x 10" x 1". It comes with nine doilies and various Christmas chipboard shapes. However, I changed it up and replaced some of the chipboard shapes with other items sold in the store. There are other Doily Box sets available too - like Love, Fall, Wedding, and Baby.

I covered the box (inside and out) with patterned papers from Authentique. The chipboard shapes were colored with Tim Holtz distressed paints or CTMH inks. Then I covered many of the shapes with thick white embossing enamel. I love thick embossing enamel right now - it adds texture and sparkle to any project. I think it works perfect on this project because it looks like snow or ice!

Many new products were recently added to the store in the last couple months. Stop by to check them out!
