Vintage Lace Card

Hello!! I'm back this week with a square card this time for Secret Garden Crafts . 
It measures 5 1/2 X 5 1/2 , I began by cutting my white cardstock , I then picked out my design paper which is by Maja Designs Summer Time paper! I absolutely love this paper collection! Its Vintage, Shabby Floral designs are simply amazing!! I inked the edges using Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Frayed Burlap. Then adhered it to my card stock. 

I decided on using this lace that I had in my stash and the beautiful vintage image is from Pion Designs. I left it without a sentiment so that it can be used for any occasion. I finished it off my using some white flowers I had in my stash along with some beautiful flowers from Secret Garden Crafts .

DT Project for Secret Garden Crafts

I'm back crafty friends! This week I'm sharing the 2nd DT project for Secret Garden Crafts for the month of Sept. This week our inspirational projects for you were to make either a card or a tag that included a doily. I decided to make a card size I had yet to make. So I decided on the three fold or tri fold tall card. 

I began by using an 8.5 X 11 white card stock. I only had to trim of 1/2 of it. So with the 8 X 11 paper I scored it at 3.5 in at each side. I wanted to use some of the Prima Heaven Scent paper that I've had in my stash. Since the Heaven Sent II collection is already out, I really would love to have it. But I need to quick hoarding and use up what I have. Anyhow so a picked out two patterns of the papers from the A5 paper pad. I measured and cut it to size, I then cut it in long stripe pieces and adhering them.  I then added a white paper doily that I had received in some happy mail, it seems to be a die cut. Its a thick white card stock that was used. It was just the right size for the width of my card. 

Once I adhered the paper I picked out a silhouette cut out dress form and chandelier embellishment that I got from Want2Scrap.  I glued these on, then had already decided on using one of the gorgeous Prima vines that Archana carries in her online store Secret Garden Crafts. I added just one of the Large White Gardenias that I received in my September DT package. 


Before adhering the vines down with the white gardenia, I used my black glimmer spray from DecoArts to splatter it around the card. I didn't want to get the spray on the flowers, I only wanted it to get onto the background. I like how it turned out! I hope you like it as well. This was a quick card to make and I hope that you are inspired to try making different sizes of cards for different occasions. I didn't add a sentiment because with some of my cards I feel that leaving them blank you can use them for any occasions.

Banner Piece for 3rd DT Project for Secret Garden Crafts

I'm back with another week sharing my 3rd Design Team Project for Secret Garden Crafts !! This week we had to either make an entire banner or a Pennant, I decided on a pennant. If I decide later to add on to it I will let you all know and I'll link this post to it. 

I began by using one of the pieces of chipboard banner that I purchased at Michaels's on sale. It's the Recollections brand and contains 9 pennants.  

I chose to use the paper collection from Graphic 45 , Ladies Diary. It matched the flowers that I wanted to use from Secret Garden Crafts DT package. I love the color combination in this collection! So I traced the chipboard on to the paper then I also papered the back part as well. I then added some beautiful lace that I had been hoarding! I had purchased it when Lele had her online store Shabbylicious. I cut two pieces out and arranged and adhered them back to back. I then added one of the chipboard pieces that came in the collection. I adhered it right to the center of the pennant . 

I then began adding the flowers (below will be a list of the flowers you can find at Secret Garden Crafts). Some of the larger Peach/Orange Tea Roses are from my stash.  I use a lot of different peach colored, used some Gypsofila for fillers. Love this!! I then finished off by adding a tear drop bling piece & an olive colored piece of seam binding to hang it with.  I really like how this turned out!! I hope you all like it as much as I do!

Layered Garden Card/ 2nd DT Project for Secret Garden Crafts

Hi again crafty friends!! I first would like to send a huge "Thank You" to all the wonderful people that viewed my blog last week for my 1st project for Secret Garden Crafts! Also "Thank You" to Archana and the rest of the Design team members!! 

I'm excited to share with you all every week different creations that I hope you get inspired by to try if you haven't already, especially adding the beautiful flowers from WOC that Archana carries in her online store! 
This card is a layered card. It's a 6 X 5/12 and as I've mentioned before, I like to cut my base then set it aside then add it at last when I've finished with everything I need to do on it incase I've got distressing to do , spraying, etc. Just so it stays clean. 

I then picked out my paper, this paper is from the Jen Hadfield Simple Life collection. I had earlier in March made a mini album using this same paper. I really like the color combination. I chose these colors because I wanted to use the gorgeous Prima flowers that Archana had sent in my DT package. I had also received a matching spray from a destash haul I had recently purchased so I knew they would look well together. 

I began by distressing the papers, adding more distress and tearing in some areas on the second piece. I then picked out some cut outs from the collection and some of the matching ephemera . I propped up the cut out card and the ephemera on some pop dots. Lastly I made my flower bouquet out of the Prima Flower Bundle (Yellow), added the yellow matching sprays from my stash, wrapped the flower bundle in some ivory seam binding. I also added some white filler flowers and others from my stash, they will be listed below. Then just adhered it using Fabri Tac wet adhesive.

Overall this card was very simple to make and I hope that you like what I've made.

1st Design Team Project for Secret Garden Crafts

Hello crafty friends!! Today I am super excited to share with you my 1st Design Team Project for Secret Garden Crafts . This is a new online store that Archana Joshi owns. She still has her facebook groups available where you can order, she has just combined Secret Garden Crafts with  CraftyCity . But I am excited to be a part of her 1st Design Team for this new shop where some beautiful flowers are sold, everything from Wild Orchid Craft, Prima, just to name a couple. All of our projects are pretty similar as far as themes go, this 1st week our projects are tags. I had a great time with this tag because I had just received a destash purchase from a friend and she had included some tags from Heidi Swapp, a variety of tags, different shapes, etc. This is mine, I hope that you like it!! 

I began by tracing one of the Heidi swap tags onto chipboard just so it would be sturdy. Plus I can reuse those tags for many more projects to come. I then chose the beautiful papers I had gotten in my destash purchase as well, so this package came just in time for this project. One of the papers was the "Order" paper sheet Item #0148. I adhered the paper directly to the tag using Double sided score tape. I then fussy cut the tag out. After I did this I then used my Prima distress tool to somewhat blend in the paper and the tag and this distressed the edges a little as well. 

After I was finished with that I applied some DecoArt Dimensional Paste to stencil the background. I had already picked out my embellishments that I planned on using. I had a Prima Shabby Chic Fireplace Resin piece in my stash I adhered a Tim Holtz Ornate frame that I dabbed some DecoArt Gesso onto. I used E6000 to adhere the Ornate frame to the Fireplace as well as the entire piece to the tag. I then added a small piece of beautiful Venice white lace along the bottom of the fireplace.

I then added some pink sprays I had in my stash as well as a clear acrylic flower and clear acrylic sprays. I then added some of the most beautiful Wild Orchid Craft flowers that I received in my DT package. I finished it off by adding some Prima Crystals from the Heaven Sent Collection. They went very well with the color combination of this tag. 
I hope that you will take a look at this wonderful online store Secret Garden Crafts . I will list below the rest of the social media sites for Secret Garden Crafts, as well as a list of the flowers I used for this project. Thank you for checking out my blog and I hope you are inspired to make your own style of tag and you will use some of these wonderful flowers.
