Shabby Chic card & tag

Hi there crafty friends!! Today I'm back with a couple of projects that I'm very excited to share! Not only are they my 2nd Design Team Projects for Want2Scrap but I actually tried a little mixed media. Nothing too crazy but its a start and I think I'm really gonna enjoy incorporating it into some of my project! Here is my 1st one. 

I started out with a chipboard tag from Prima, I picked out the amazingly beautiful paper from Pion Designs that I had purchase over at a great online store Craftycity, this collection is called Paris Flea Market. I adhered the paper onto the tag then cut the paper around the tag, then using my Prima distress tool, I ran it along all the edges so that the paper somewhat blended with the tag. I then used some DecoArt Modeling Paste to lightly stencil half of a stencil from Prima. 

I applied some lace at the bottom of the tag that I had in my lace stash, then added some tear drop pearl trim from Ideas2Come.  Then added some bling from Want2Scrap, I added a spool cut out from the paper collection, added a Tilda button to the spool, fussy cut some butterflies from the same paper, used some DecoArt Liquid Glass on them, made them look dimensional. I then I just added the flowers and added a matching ribbon

I hope that you all like what I came up with on this tag. Now I will share my card. 

This card I think is one of my favorites that I made. I cut a piece of white card stock to 5 1/2 X 6, I scored it in half then set it aside, I add my piece later onto the cardstock. I first picked out my design paper, I've been hoarding this paper, rarely use it, I will def. be looking to buy another of these paper pads. It's the beautiful paper from First Edition Bella Rose 8x8 paper pad. 

 I then picked out a couple of the papers I wanted to use, I cut the 1st one just 1/8 smaller in width and length than the white cardstock base. I then cut the other paper just a tad smaller. I also distressed the paper, made some random tearing on it, I wanted to be able to add some lace or cheesecloth in those areas. I ended up just cutting small pieces of tirms and adding them there. I added a  iridecent flatback pearl on each tip of the lace. I then added a chipboard sentiment from Want2Scrap. I added some beautiful Prima flowers/leaves, some pearls to accent the flower cluster. I lastly used some DecoArt white shimmer mist that I just received in my helping artist program. 

Thank you for checking out my blog post and please feel free to see the rest of my creations! xoxo, Jeanne 

Sewing Machine Kit from MsGardengrove

I'm back with my winnings from MsGardengrove that I won during the monthly challenge in the facebook group MsGardengrove's page. Annie who is the owner had a shop on Etsy where she carries a variety of beautiful laces, appliques and much more. But in her group she sells some beautifully put together monthly kits. Annie does an amazing job, she works so hard putting these together. She puts all the hardest parts together and we just come in and add the laces, embellishments, etc. In May I was the winner of the monthly in this group , so I won this beautiful sewing machine kit. So what that en tells is that within 2 weeks of this winning being received by me. I need to create my project using what she sent. So I'm very excited for the finished product! 

If you would like to join this great group and subscribe to some beautiful kits check out Annie's facebook group as well as her Etsy shop. Down below is the video I made on YouTube sharing these amazing laces, embellishments, and everything I need for this amazing project!!  Look out for my upcoming project that I will be posting in a week or so.

Shabby Chic Vintage Parisian Mini Album

Hi crafty friends!! I'm super excited to share this next project with you all! I made this as a GDT for the online shop Crafty City, Archana Joshi is the owner as well as the owner of Secret Garden on Facebook where she is one of the US sellers of WOC flowers! The paper I used on this project is from Maja Design
"Sofiero" collection. Its beautiful!! I also used some papers, tags from the Pion Designs "Paris FleaMarket" ! They went so well together. 
I began by painting of Frank Garcia's Memory Hardware prefabricated chipboard mini albums, I painted it with FolkArt Vintage White . I then papered it, made pockets with the papers as well as a couple of waterfall folios for some of the photo mats. This def. has lots of room for photos. I hope that you like what I've made and check out papers and much more at CraftyCity and Archana also sells paper collections at one of her facebook groups Shabby Papers Hub. Thanks for checking out my post and my blog!! xoxo, Jeanne

Getting caught up!!

I'm still trying to catch up on all these projects! Omgosh, its overwhelming. I'm never gonna let myself fall this far behind again! 😂 Anyhow I'm really trying to make my posts smaller so I can post 2 projects per post. Wish me luck! 💖

This next project is my final GDT project for SaCrafters for the month of May! I made this Police Call Box in a Steampunk theme! I painted it with Folk Art Black Acrylic Paint and then on the inside and parts of the outer side I brushed on some Prima Bloom Spray "Vintage Coal", I liked this color because it gives off a metallic dark green effect. This would match perfectly with the Steampunk Debutante paper from Graphic45. I adhered it to sections of the call box then cut off the excess paper. I embellished it using a ring holder that is in the shape of a high heel shoe. It's a blue/green color with black lace on top. I decided I would use that since I just had it as decor on my dresser. 

I also used many other embellishments thoughout the inside of this Police Call Box. For a more detailed feature of this project , please click on my YouTube video to view it. I am trying to keep my posts shorter so its easier if I've made a video about it. Thanks you for stopping in! xoxo, Jeanne 

                                    Shabby Chic Wall Hanging

This project was made by me using the 1st kit I purchased from MsGardengrove on Etsy. Annie is the owner and she's got a group on Facebook where she sells montly kits. I immediately began making it as soon as it arrived in the mail! There was alot of beautiful trim and laces to work with but I think less is more so I didn't use every single piece of lace that came in it and used some of from my stash. Here is the link to the fb group incase you would like to join up. There is a waiting list usually so once there is a spot open on the permanant list Annie will message you to inquire if you would still like to be on the permanant list. I hope you like this, I made it for my mom to put up in her room!!
