A gift box for Rosy Owl

Hi everyone!

Today I would like to share with you my newest project for Rosy Owl - a small gift box.

For the background I used beautiful Craft & You Design papers. 

As always, I made foamiran flowers & leaves using fantastic Rosy Owl dies: 

Flowers AC1, Flowers AC2 and Hydrangeas.

To decorate my box and to add some dimension to my composition 

I decided to use Mitform Castings gears, natural sisal, embossed laser cut chipboard 

and elements from the Tropical Leaves dies set.   

I finished my design by adding tiny art stones and black and white splashes.

I hope you like my box.

Have a great day and thank you so much for stopping by.

Romantic / shabby chic tag

Good morning everyone!

Today I am coming to you with another tag but this time in romantic/shabby chic style. 

As you can see it is a very easy and quick tag to make. 

The most time consuming part for me was stitching, as I did it by hand.

I am the proud owner of sewing machine, but can't get my stitches straight lol

I cut my tags and frame using Sizzix/Tim Holtz die.

Before I stitched the edges of one of the tags, I stamped it with an elegant script background stamp.

 I then made my foamiran leaves and flowers. They didn't take much time, 

because I didn't have to roll the foamiran to shape them. 

I just had to add a little bit of colour to some of my leaves using an soft oil pastel. 

Before attaching them, I put a piece of muslin cloth underneath.

To decorate my tag I used art stones, sparkly gems and metal embellishment 

that I covered with white gesso and cut in half. 

I finished it with a word sticker.

Have a great day, M. xxx

Shabby & delicate...

Hi everyone :)

Today I would like to share with you a cover I made for an album I'm working on lately

as in inspiration for Love to Craft & Create.

As a base I used papers from an absolutely beautiful collection by Craft & You Design 

Beautiful Day 6"x6" Paper Pad.

The colours are stunning and all of the collection is so delicate and feminine.

Ideal for shabby chic projects :)

I liked it so much that I decided to use it to make flowers...

and CraftPassion flower dies were perfect for that.

I used 2 different sets:

I finished my flowers with white pearl stamens and Prima gems.

I could not use laser cut chipboards... I'm a big fan of them :)...

... so I decorated my cover with one of the captions from TricksArt Magical time set 

and Vintage Cage with a Bird by Scrapiniec.

 

To decorate my flowers I cut out a few leaves from a strip by Studio75 - Alice's Dream 09  

and added some sequins.

I hope you like my cover :)

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Rose Garden... and butterfly...

Hello my crafty friends!

I hope you have had a lovely day so far...

Today I would like to show you my new card which I made for Love to Craft & Create...

 A very romantic one... 

with Rose Garden papers from Craft & You Design, it's hard not to be romantic ;)

The papers are simply gorgeous... I love each one of them!

To make this card I used papers from both pads... 12"x12" and 6"x6".

     

The papers from the 6"x6" pad were used for the background and top layer of my card,

but the centre of the beautiful Royal Circle Frame (from Scrapiniec) 

I cut out of paper 06 from a 12"x12" pad

and decorate it with white 3mm transparent string.

To finish my card I used stunning handmade flowers

Handmade Glittered Roses - Shiny Roses

Handmade Glittered Roses - Ivory (2cm)

Handmade Roses - Light Pink (2cm)

Handmade Glittered Roses - Light Pink (1cm)

Handmade Roses - Ivory (1cm)
