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.

Catching up on Projects (Continued)

I'm back again trying to catch up on posting projects that I've made since my last post in April that I made an Easter Loaded Envelope for a swap! I've been posting mainly on my Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram pages. I try to post on Twitter and on my Facebook craft page. I do tend to get overwhelmed trying to post on all of them. I enjoy having all of those platforms, its just difficult at times, even more so if I'm not feeling to well. 
Anyhow this next project is another project for SaCrafters & is a GDT project for Secret Garden on Facebook /Craftycity.com, its a simple, easy to make alarm clock shadow box. 

I painted it using Folk Art Black Acrylic Paint, then traced sections of what I could onto the beautiful paper from Prima Stationers Desk, one of my favorites! Then adhered the paper with FabriTac Adhesive. I then inked the edges using Black Soot Distress Ink from Tim Holtz, to kind of blend the papers in with the painted surface. I then began embellishing using the beautiful WOC flowers from the facebook shop Secret Garden, a chipboard ink pen from Frank Garcia's Archivist collection, one of Prima's Amiens Antique Cloches. I had this gorgeous Eiffel Tower charm from my stash. I finished it off with beautiful ruffle pearl black trim from MsGardenGrove's shop on Etsy and a metal embellishment on the back part of the clock . I used some DecoArt Lustre Wax in Champagne Ice. I hope that you will try one of these, they make wonderful gifts, as well as decor like I will be using it in my craft room. xoxo, Jeanne
