Easter Project

Happy Easter!  Hope you're spending this day with loved ones.  I made this small project, altering these plastic eggs I got from the 99 cent store.  The diamond etching caught my eye and had the idea to do this....

 

The bird cage is a die from Memory Box-love their dies!  I added some glittered mesh to the bottom, along with some beads and flowers.  The eggs are sealed with glossy accent and decorated with trim and lots of flowers from I Am Roses.

flowers: I Am Roses
misc: pearl flourish{Recollection}; crystal beads; leaf trim, pearl trim, organza ruffle trim; handmade charms

Simply Flowers

Did I mention how much I enjoy swaps?!  Well, I love swapping with crafty, talented peeps....and here's one of the swaps on A Lil Scrap of Heaven.
We had to make three flowers, fully decorated with feathers, leaves...the works.  And I have to say that I enjoyed making these.  I just hope the girls like them too. Ü

I made three different types of flowers.  The size is perfect to use on any project.  I have a project for one of these lovelies, so keep an eye out for that post. Ü

For this flower, I used Magnolia Doohickeys Dies.  I love the details on the dies.  The pearls and crystals I took from the candle holder from Michaels.  I've used them on so many projects and still have a lot left. The flowers are inked with vintage photo distress ink.

Supplies~ 

pp: Bailey{K&Company}

punches: classic butterfly{MS}; Doohickey dies doily flowers, peony petals, poinsettia{all from Magnolia}

misc:  white half back pearls

This black and white themed flower is made from satin fabric.  I used the Loopy Bloom die and layered the pieces on top of each other.  Then for the center, I made this pearl flowers following a YouTube tutorial.

Supplies~

dies: loopy bloom, leafy flourish, fancy flourish{all MFT}

skeleton leaves{I Am Roses}

misc: black satin fabric, handmade stick pin

 And this little beauty I made using Prima flowers.  I was lucky to find matching pearls for the center. The lace fabric flower added for a touch of vintage.  Then layered with pink feathers, pearl trim, and leaf die I inked with tumble glass distress ink.

flowers: Prima

Easel Card+Gift Card Box

I found a great tutorial on how to make this gift card box.  It was easy to make and I love the way it turned out.  This is going to my swap partner at Lil' Scrap of Heaven, Craftyjo along with some goodies. Ü

The card front is from this week's sketch by Card Patterns:

 The pattern papers come from DCWV, French Country.  I just love this paper stack....the colors & patterns are so me! The edges are inked with vintage photo for a vintage look.  

 Inside the box, I made a removable insert to attach the stick pins I made.  The swap was to make vintage stick pins.  This is a great way to give small gifts...cute packaging and can be easily displayed.

Supplies~
pp: French County Stack{DCWV}
stamps: Sunshine and Flowers{Hero Arts}; taglines{Flourishes}

Altered Recipe Box

I've had this recipe box for a while and I finally decided to alter it as a gift to a friend.  Instead of recipes, I included some goodies for her to use on her crafting projects.

I love how the box turned out...so shabby chic!  I just wished I had made one to keep.  The edges were inked with Walnut Stain. This is the front of the box...added Prima swirl and TH's bookplate.  The stamp says "friends make life blossom".  I thought it went perfectly since I used tons of flowers.

 

This is the top view and all the flowers are from I Am Roses...I just love them! I used the spiral blossom die for the flower next to the swirl.  It was cut using the same paper collection as the box.

These are the side views of the box.  I added a fabric flower with Prima pearl center and skeleton leaves .

Here's the back of the box...kept it plain.  The trim is beige with pearl in the center of every other flower.  I love this trim...love the details!

For the inside of the box, I just adhered design paper and made a little pocket with a tag.  I wrote a very short message to my friend since the tag was so small.

Cake Pop Centerpiece

I made this display of cake pops for a Christmas get together. Check out bakerella.com on how to create these cuties. I dipped the pops in different colored chocolate and wrapped them individually, tied with ribbon.

The flower is layered using Arlene's technique and misted with Lindy's Stamp Gang.  I added some Christmas decorations and green crystal flowers.  The top of the container is lined with pleated trim and bling trim.

To keep the pops in place, I've put dry floral foam inside and glued two type of moss on top.  In the center is a Christmas decoration.

Supplies~

punch: MS (snowflake trim)
mists: LSG (Tiffany's Blue, Golden Sleigh Bells)

Altered Mini Clipboard

Altered Box & Mini Album

This is an altered box and a mini album I created.  The box is by Petaloo and as you can see it's very bright.  I painted the box with black paint...needed a couple of layers to completely cover the bright pink.

After painting the box, I used Shimmerz mist to give it a distress look.  Then added some trim around the box and adhered a picture frame I altered on top. To keep the box closed, I fastened a black rubber band and a hitch post.  The paper roses were glimmer misted and added some glossy accent to look like dew drops.  I love how flowers look when they're wet.  And finally, I glued wooden knobs to the bottom of the box.

And here's the finished box:
