Boo Wall Decor by Mary


Hello everyone! I have this fun Boo Wall Decor from Gina's Designs. I really enjoyed making this. I got to go from this,
to this!

 I have it hanging on my front door. I need need to use some double sided tape to keep in place since the "corn stalks" became a little heavy.
The corn stalks were made by cutting twisted paper into strips. I used several distressed inks to color it: Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Mustard Seed, Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade, and Distressed Stain Wild Honey.

The ghosts, haunted house and candy were all fussy cut from a paper collection by Debbie Mumm. The ghosts were edged in Black Soot and the other pieces were edged in Walnut Stain.
I didn't have any web material so I had to improvise and used some poly batting - I kept pulling it apart until I got the look I wanted.
Thanks for stopping by the blog. Make sure you take a look at Gina's store for more fun Halloween and Fall items!

"Smitten" - A Layout by Melissa


Hi everyone! Melissa here with a 12 x 12 layout to share, which is also part of our October cross promotional for Gina's Chipboard Laser Designs, and Craftsupplies1.

I love the skeleton clock frame, and I tried to do it justice with my treatment. Here are the steps:


  • 1. Apply gesso
  • 2 .Paint on 3 layers of fresh cut grass Dylusions Ink . I diluted it, 3 parts ink to 1 part water.
  • 3. Black Sharpie to all edges to give more definition.
  • 4. Rub on silver mica powder over whole frame.
  • 5. Apply gold rub n buff to all the edges,allowing a lot of the black Sharpie to show.
  • 6. Dab on Bronze Distress Stickles in different places,  let dry.
  • 7. Paint on undiluted Pure Sunshine Dylusions ink over whole frame.
  • 8. Let the ink dry and rub on gold mica powder.
  • 9. Dry brush gold leafing ink onto the Stickles. There will be little flecks of the texture of the Stickles that you can dry brush paint on. Brush gently so as just to touch the flecks with paint.
  • 10. Put on little pieces of gold leaf all around the frame.
  • 11.Using a paint brush, apply a thick layer of Crackle Accents.

  Even though this isn't a winter page I couldn't resist using the snowflake shape set.bI used some beautiful lace and metal from Craftsupplies 1. I lightly brushed on some Vintaj Metal Patina on the owl and butterflies. I gave the owl Swarovski pointed back crystals for eyes.

I accordion folded the black lace, and  secured it with a straight pin.

Thanks for looking!

Seasonal Wall Decor by Deann



Good morning, Deann here with a Fall project. I made the Boo Wall Decor 

 I used Distress inks in Gathered Twig, Rusty Hinge and Scattered Straw, applying them directly to the raw chipboard.


I love the shading that I got on the chip board, I added a few spiders and webs and also fall colored flowers. A Halloween sentiment to finish it off. - Deann

3-D Haunted House by Donna

It's almost that spooky time of year! For me, Halloween is all about the kids! I used Gina's 3 Story House to make something the kids would enjoy, a haunted house!

I covered all the edges of the chipboard pieces to build the house with black gesso and then covered each piece with papers.

I used black and purple crackle paint on two of the spiderweb shapes and used embossing powder on the orange one. Also, black, brown and copper crackle paint on the tree, and black and copper (added some Inka gold) on the string along crow.








This house was so much fun to put together!

Fall House Shrine Box by Deann and a Layout by Veronica


Hello Friends!  Today we have two amazing projects to share.  First up is Deann with a project celebrating the beginning of the Autumn season.



Its Fall ya-all!!!


I used the House Shrine Box for this project and the awesome Fall Shape Set.


I did lots of layers on this project with the chip board and the Distress ink.











 The Scarecrow is the piece that started this project, I knew that I wanted to make it stand out. I went directly onto the raw chip board with the Distress Ink, Scattered Straw then Rusty Hinge and finished off with Gathered Twig. I used the same colors on the pumpkins with the addition of Forest Moss.

Next up is Veronica with a gorgeous layout to share.





Hello Everyone! Veronica here once again to share one of my projects using wonderful Lazer cut chipboard pieces from Gina's Designs!


Today I created a lovely Scrapbook page.





I love to layer, and Gina's Designs  gives you so many shapes to choose from!


Here I used a variety of pieces. 








              I love how adding a simple Doily adds a touch of femininity to a layout.











The Skeleton Clock also adds a touch of Nostalgia.





  





Thank you so much for taking a look. I hope you enjoyed this Layout as much as I enjoyed putting it all together.

Layout by Guest Designer Lynne


Hi! I'm Lynne from Ontario, Canada and I'm so happy to have the chance to share my creations here and to use some of Gina's fabulous chipboard! My first project is a layout, with a photo of my daughter Elizabeth and Lily, the latest stray kitten she brought home to live with us (she has added several beloved furry members to our family this way!)

I wanted a whimsical feel to my page, and the sweet fairies were perfect for that. I used one of my favourite techniques to finish them: painting with acrylic paint followed by stamping and heat embossing. I used a delicate paisley stamp and soft colours, then added micro beads to the wings.

The flourishes are actually a frame that I divided to better showcase them and the photo; they also set off the pink stencilling. On these I used the same technique but embossed with clear embossing powder so I was just adding texture.
