Shabby Chic Embellishments by Kim C.

Hello everyone!  This week I have created shabby-vintage embellishments!  These are so fun and so easy to make. I am so addicted to making these cute embellies!!!  So let me tell you what I have done!

I have used the Button Shape Set to make these super cute button embellishments.  The paper I used was in my stash. I glued the buttons to the paper then cut around the buttons. Victorian Velvet distress ink was used all around each button.  I then added trims and flowers to them.

For the next embellishments, I used the Dangles collection.  I also used a few pieces from Miniatures Ladies Choice to decorate them, along with flowers, trims, seam binding and pearls.  I also used a heart from Border Sticks Lattice Hearts.   The butterfly and mason jar where created with punches.  I punched out 4 of each and glued them together to stiffen them up.  I then added pattern paper and then decorated them.

Four Tabbed Mini by Mary M

Check out How to Make Gina's Designs Four Tabbed Mini Album by Mary Melsheimer on Snapguide.

The pictures below are how I decorated my journal. The paper is Graphic 45 - Couture.  The frame and the word inspire were both embossed. I then cut out a black oval to go behind the frame and attache the word to it. Pop dots were used to attach it to the book.

On the side I used one of Gina's dangle and created this fun charm.

The corset was painted black and the "lace" painted white.

The sewing machine is embossed with black and silver.

The next three pictures are the tabbed pages. The chipboard was painted black.

The hanger and the dressform were embossed with black. I attached these two piece as well as the corset towards the edge of the covers so I would still have the flat surface for writing.

Reliquary by Heather Hudson

Hello Friends!!

Heather here and today I am sharing my second Guest Designer Project using 

Gina's Fabulous Chipboard Pieces!!

I have used Gina's Reliquary Tower Top,  Stackable Labels Shape Set, Dangles, and Scribble Frame Bird Piece.

I used my Tiny Hearts in Pink Digital Paper to cover the back piece of the Reliquary frame.  I used one of my Valentine Cherubs as my focal.  

I used White Gesso on all the other chipboard pieces.  I glued the top piece of the Reliquary to the bottom piece.  I painted this turquoise, golden yellow and green (please refer to photo).

After I painted this piece I stamped it with Forget-Me-Not Archival Ink.  The bird piece was painted brown, blue and pink.  I did add some Pink Mulberry flowers and green dot glitter leaves.

 The dangle was painted green, golden yellow, and pink. I used a number stamp and Carnation Red Archival Ink.

Coordinated glitters were added to the piece.

For the stackable label, I painted the base green and the top gesso with blue accents.   Of course I doodled on the whole piece with a black pen.

I just added a couple magnets to the back, so it can hang on our back door.

I hope you find some time to break out your chipboard pieces and get creative!!

Thanks for visiting us at Gina's Designs!

Hugs!!
