"Make a Wish" easel card and bookmarker set by Lynne

Hello crafty friends! I recently made an easel card and posted it on my Facebook page, and one of my online friends admired it and said she'd love a card like that for her birthday, which just happened to be coming up soon...I decided to use this gorgeous frame and coordinating goodies to create a unique card for her, then I thought I'd add a bookmark to match (this is being mailed out of the country so I had to keep everything relatively flat)

I started out by cutting a 5 1/2" strip from double-sided patterned paper ( make sure you like both sides unless you don't mind adding panels to the inside!), then I distressed the edges and inked them in charcoal grey.

I scored the rectangle at 6" and at the 3" mark on one side, then folded it in half.

I border punched along the bottom edge and lightly inked the leaves, I added a contrasting piece of paper behind the punchwork, and distressed/inked the edge of that as well.

At one end of the card where the 6" panel is not divided by a fold, I made a raised panel with layers of coordinating papers and some fussy-cut flower. When your easel card is standing, this creates a little ledge for the front to rest on to keep it upright.

I chose this lovely frame set for my card, and a coordinating fairy for the bookmark I created, and primed them all with white gesso before adding white glitter embossing powder. I fit a circle of patterned paper behind the frame, then added to the end of the card with the 3" folds, gluing down only the lower half so that when the card is folded to stand, the top part of the frame will stand above it.

I added a chain with a butterfly charm to the simple bookmark design, and poked the hole with a large pin-I got a bunch of these pins at a thrift store one time, and they come in handy for so many things-holes like this, piercing for handstitching with embroidery floss, cleaning out glue and paint bottle tips, etc.

I added some glittery letters to finish off the sentiment on the front of the card after attaching the "Wish" word piece on top of the frame.

I fussy cut a ton of the pretty flowers from my papers and used them to accent the frame, and I love the soft and feminine combination of colours, flowers and fairies, and hope my friend will too! Thanks for stopping by to see; have a terrific week! It's really hot here, so perfect weather to stay inside and craft!

Fairy Wreath

Hello and Happy Spring! It's Gloria with you today, and I am sharing a fun, springtime wreath.

I admit, making dimensional wreath projects is not in my main wheelhouse, but with the Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts chippies, it makes it pretty easy to take one on! I had a blast making my wreath and adding a tiny fairy hut, with some sweet fairies flitting around!

I depleted my stash of yellow flowers for this project, but it was worth it!

Let's get started!

We will be using the medium ring from the Wreath Rings set for our basic wreath shape. Set the other rings aside for other projects. 

Brush one side of the wreath ring with matte gel medium and place it face down onto a piece of decorative paper. Use a brayer to smooth the paper. Set the project aside to allow the adhesive to dry.

Use a craft knife to cut round the inside and outside circles. Use sanding blocks to smooth any rough edges.

Prepare the pieces of the Mini House Shadow Box 2.

Assemble the house. Use white ink or paint to give the house a weathered look. I used a spray ink and a foam brush to paint my house.

Once the paint has dried, glue the house to the bottom right side of the wreath, as shown. I used hot glue to attach my little house. I also added a bit of support on the back of the house with a cardboard shim.

Use pigment inks to color the vines, fairy, and word art from the Scribble Frame Fairy set. Allow the ink to dry.

Glue the fairy frame to the top of the 3D house, as shown.

Add dew drops to a small glass bottle and glue the bottle to the inside of the house. Add a butterfly charm, as shown. Attach the word art to the upper left of the wreath.

Use black ink to color two small fairies from the Garden Fairies - Small set. Allow the ink to dry. Glue one fairy to the top of the "H" and the other fairy to the bottom left of the scribble frame.

Use hot glue to attach yellow and white flowers, and green leaves, to the frame and the main wreath, as desired. Add yellow  and green enamel dots, as desired.

Celebrate spring!

Pink Vintage Tags

Hi everyone! Melissa here with two tags for Gina's Designs. I found this size project fun to do. The tags made a great base for the layers of things I put under it, and top too. I added some pieces to hang off the bottom. I'll be putting this on a wall in my scraproom.     

I painted all the chipboard with gesso. I mixed perfect pearls with a tiny amount of water, and brushed it on the tags.

I applied glossy accents to the other chipboard that's white.

The wood medallions have a coat of gold lumieres on them.

I put fresh flowers, both from my yard and from a bouquet of pink roses, and baby's breath  under memory glass.

A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes Art Journal Page by Kim

Good morning friends! Today I would like to share with you my art journal page.   I am a beginner at art journaling but I am really enjoying learning all about it. Gina has some great pieces for art journaling and I took my inspiration from the beautiful scribble frame - fairy piece.

I used a mixture of gelatos, sprays, distress inks and stencils for the background. I faded the colours from darkest at the top to lightest at the bottom.  I decided to keep the chipboard pieces in black to give the illusion of a silhouette at night.

I stamped out some images of mushrooms and leaves and used various paints and watercolours to achive the look I got with them. 

I added some silver glitter paint from 13 Arts to the web and the wings of the fairy for some contrast and to give them a glistening effect.  The leaves on the scribble frame I dabbed with some green paint for the same type of effect.

 

I added some words to create my sentiment and I am really happy with the outcome.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Two Vintage Cards

Hi everyone! Melissa here with two cards.  I think the beautiful chipboard I used here complemented the the vintage theme, and I love the way it looks. The shape of the daisy is so intricate! I prepped all the chipboard with gesso. I painted the leaves on the left side card with watered down green acrylic paint. I dabbed off a little with a paper towel.  I put texture paste on the daisy, and made lines in it with a straight pin. I painted on a combination of Twinkling H20s and Lindy's Stamp Gang. While wet, I put on some pink, then white Perfect Pearls. I mixed yellow and green watercolors to make the center of the daisy. I painted the flourish on the right side card with a mix of red and white acrylic paint.  When dry I put on a layer of glitter glue, and sprinkled on glitter glass.

Thanks for looking, and I hope you have time to create something today!
