a2z Scrapbooking Supplies~ Sew Stylish!

Hi crafty friends, I'm here with a little vintage make I made for

using digital images from  Hero Arts Make Your Own DK016 

and Hero Arts Sew Crafty DK027. I wanted to show you how to dress up your digital Images with a little distressing and some embellies from your stash. 

 

I used  images from the Hero Arts Make Your Own DK016 and Hero Arts Sew Crafty DK027 Digital sets. These sets are both jam packed with crafty goodness! So much to use and work with. 

I printed the Stylish Ladies from the Hero Arts Make Your Own DK016  set in Sepia onto white cardstock and trimmed around the image and distressed the edges using the Tim Holtz Paper Distressing Tool and then inking the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I adhered this to a piece of scrap from my stash that looked like fabric to me and distress the edges of that too. Both pieces were mounted onto Kraft cardstock cut to 4.24x5.5' and made into a top fold card. 

I then used a Chipboard Dressform I had in my stash and covered it in Gesso and then brushed on some "Scarab Beetle" Twinkling H20's which lends a vintage feel and color to it. Some Ivory Mesh and Rose Ribbon and gold pearls from my stash finish it off.

Next I printed the a sentiment to tie my theme all together from the Hero Arts Make Your Own DK016 set and mounted inked the edges with the Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I printed and cut out a spool of thread from the Hero Arts Sew Crafty DK027 set which I colored in with my Spectrum Noir Markers.

There you have it, a shabby chic card made using Hero Arts Digital Images, a little distressing and some embellies from your stash!

Two Paper Diva's ~ Family Blessing

Happy Friday Crafty Friends, I'm back to share with you another make

using this Month's newly released Home Family Blessing. 

 I used DP's from  Prima- Julie Nutting #911270.I distressed and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. 
Some Spellbinders dies added a fun element to it. I added some Shabby White Frantage for texture and some Liquid Pearls in Bisque. Some luscious Ribbon and pink enamel dots finished it off for what I hope is a shabby chic feel. It's not my usual style but had a lot of fun with it and love how it turned out.   

Here's the sweet blessing inked up in Versafine Sepia.

 Just love this sentiment, says it beautifully doesn't it?

Graphic 45- A Ladies' Diary

Vintage Ladies

Using Graphic 45 A Ladies' Diary papers, I created simple, but elegant, cards.
With flowers, ribbon and pearls, I dressed up the cards in keeping with the "aged" look of the cards.
Hope you like them! :)

On this card, I layered the Graphic 45 cutout on mint green pearlized cardstock. I added 3 flowers and added mint green pearls to finish it off.

 For this card,  I layered the Graphic 45 cut out on rose cardstock and used pop-dots to give it dimension. I layered  different shades of teal paper flowers with a green pearl and used 2 strips of pearls for embellishment.

For this card, I used pop-dots to layer the cut out over a clear purple shimmer ribbon. To keep it simple, I embellished with fabric flowers and purple and cream pearls as their centre's.

 For this card, I inked the edges of the base card to "age" it. Using pop-dots I layered the cut out on the card base. Used pink pearls on the bottom corner and a fabric flower on the opposite corner.

For this last card, I layered the cut out with gold glitter paper and adhered to the ivory base card using pop-dots. To keep it simple, I just finished off with gold bling

 I'd love to hear back from you or see what you've made using Graphic 45 papers.
