Altered Burlap Clutch and Altered Painter's Cap with the Shabby Chic Loop Flower

Hello blogging friends!  Today, I have a couple of fun crafting projects to share with you.  Over the weekend I took a little time to create just for me--it doesn't happen very often lol!  

These are the two projects I made--an altered burlap clutch and a altered painter's cap.  I did these projects just for the fun of it so I am sorry I don't have a tutorial with any step shots or instructions but I have two videos you can check out if you have a couple of minutes.  Both of these projects were inspired by a couple of ladies on YouTube.  The shabby chic loop flowers on both projects was inspired by Trisha and this is her video--Shabby Chic Loop Flowers.  Her tutorial is fantastic and these are so fun and easy to make!   The only thing I changed on my flowers is that I added some lace from my stash and some burlap leaves with a little bit of diamond stickles from Ranger.  I started with a piece of lace and glued that to the felt circle first and then added the the loopy cotton material to create the flower.  The inspiration for the altered burlap clutch is from Marisa and here is her video--Altered Burlap Clutches.  My clutch is a little different and it was an olive green color.  So I covered it with gesso and then completely covered it with lace, rosette trim, pearl trim and a shabby chic loop flower but the inspiration came from Marisa.  

I just LOVE how this turned out and I had so much fun!

Here is a close up of the Shabby Chic Loop Flower.  I added a vintage rhinestone button to the center and I fussy cut some leaves from a Olive Green Burlap Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Then I added a little bit of diamond stickles to the lace trim and the leaves.

Here is a close up of the charms and beaded pearl chain I added to the zipper pull.  I also added some Cream and Leather Tan Seam Binding.  I lightly misted the seam binding with water, crinkled it up and dried it with my heat tool  so the crinkles would stay in the seam binding.

At the top of the clutch I added some rosette trim with diamond stickles and then I added some pearl trim.

For the painter's hat I added a shabby chic loop flower with some lace from my stash, natural burlap for the leaves and diamond stickles for a little sparkle.  I used a small flower metal shape and a flat back pearl.  The metal embellishment is from ButterBeeScraps. 

Here is a close up of the shabby chic loop flower on the hat.  I used Natural Burlap ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon for the leaves.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have a creative day!

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi

JustRite Papercraft April New Release Day Five!

Hello everyone!  Today is the last day of the JustRite Papercraft April New Release!  Today, we have two beautiful background stamps to share with you.

Here is the first background stamp-- CL-04505 Damask Wallpaper Background Stamp.

Here is the second one-- CL-04490 Secret Garden Background Stamp.  

Before I get to my projects I wanted to remind everyone that JustRite Papercraft is having a 20% Off sale on the Faber-Castell Gelatos and Background Stamps.  The sale ends April 9th at midnight (EST). 

For my card I used the CL-04505 Damask Wallpaper Background Stamp and CR-04495 Graceful Monograms  stamp sets.

I stamped CL-04505 Damask Wallpaper Background Stamp on to Sno Cone cardstock using VersaMark ink.  Then I used clear embossing powder and heat set the image.  Next I used one of the pens from Faber-Castell Design-Memory-Craft FC-70053 Stamper's Big Brush 3ct. Blue and colored in between the damask pattern.  I worked in a small area coloring just a little bit at a time and blended the color before it dried.  I used my finger to blend the ink--easy peasy--but love the look!  I used S5-131 A2 Matting Basics A to cut/emboss the background.  For the cameo I used CR-04495 Graceful Monograms  stamp set.  I stamped the cameo using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the scalloped border using VersaMark ink and then embossing.  I used S4-114 Standard Circles Large, S4-344 Tear Drop Circles die template to create the die cuts.  To embellish the card I added rhinestones, pearls, blue roses and a lace/tulle bow.

JustRite Papercraft April New Release Day Four

Hello blogging friends!  Welcome to Day Four of the JustRite Papercraft April New Release!  

Here is the stamp set we are sharing today, CR-04480 Vintage Banners.  This is such a sweet little stamp set and I love the oval with the banner sentiments.

Here is the card that I designed using the CR-04480 Vintage Banners stamp set and JustRite Papercraft Custom Dies JB-04300 Vintage Labels Four, JB-03730 Vintage Labels & Banner Dies, SW-04415 Buntings & Buttons Dies.  I have to say this was one of those cards that just came together so quickly and I love how it turned out!  I love the stamp set but I really LOVE the banners dies!  The pattern paper is from two Prima 6 x 6 paper pads--Lyric and Divine.

I had so much fun putting the tiny roses, pink rhinestones, pearls, diamond stickles and tulle on the banners to embellish them.  Love this shabby chic look!

I stamped the frame, sentiment and banner using Memento Espresso Truffle ink from Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko on to Simply Smooth Ivory cardstock and then used Copic marker R83 to airbrush the color.  I added a few more of the tiny roses, pink rhinestones, pearls and diamond stickles around the banner and sentiment.

JustRite Papercraft April New Release Day Three

Hello and welcome to Day Three of the  JustRite Papercraft April New Release!  

Here is the stamp set for day three CL-04475 Mr & Mrs Vintage Labels Four.  The stamp set is perfect for all of the upcoming Spring weddings!

This is the card that I designed using CL-04475 Mr & Mrs Vintage Labels Four.  I stamped the flourish frame image on to Simply Smooth White cardstock using VersaMagic Sea Breeze, Turquoise Gem.  I did the Rock-n-Roll technique for stamping this image.  If you are new to stamping and haven't  heard of the Rock-n-Roll technique you will need two colors of ink--a light and dark color that coordinate.  You basically ink up your entire image with the lighter color first and then you take your darker color and roll the ink pad around the edges of your stamp.  Doing this creates a two tone effect with the darker edges of your stamped image.  

Here is a close up of the stamped image.  I used JustRite Papercraft Custom Dies JB-04300 Vintage Labels Four die template to cut/emboss the label shape.  I also used Spellbinders Creative Arts™ S5-131 A2 Matting Basics A and S5-175 A2 Locking Loops die templates.  I layered all of the die cut pieces using 3D Foam Squares and then I added a double bow made with 3/8'' Aqua Floral Satin and Shimmer Satin Aqua ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  To finish off the card I added white roses, pearls and diamond stcikles.

JustRite Papercraft April New Release Day Two

Hello blogging friends! Welcome to Day Two of the April New Release from JustRite Papercraft!  

The New Release for today is CL-04470 True Friends Vintage Labels Four.  This stamp set includes a beautiful floral frame, a smaller flower, flourish accents and four sentiments.  The stamp set also matches JustRite Papercraft Custom Dies JB-04300 Vintage Labels Four.

Here is the card I designed using both the CL-04470 True Friends Vintage Labels Four stamp set and JB-04300 Vintage Labels Four die template set.  

I stamped the floral frame image and the sentiment with Memento Rich Cocoa ink on to Simply Smooth White cardstock.  Then I colored the image with Copic markers (listed below).  Once the coloring was done then I used JB-04300 Vintage Labels Four die template to cut/emboss the label shapes.

I used 3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™ in between the die cut layers to add some dimension.

Here is a close up of the floral frame and sentiment.  I added Pink Salmon Seam Binding and 3/8'' White Crochet Lace across the center to create a border.  Then I added some Pink/White Mulberry Flowers.  For a little sparkle I added diamond stickles to the lighter colored stripes in the frame and to the flowers.

I stamped the flourish accents in each corner and then added some pearls.

The beautiful pattern paper is from Prima Fairy Rhymes 6 x 6 paper pad and the card base is Simply Smooth White cardstock.

JustRite Papercraft April New Release Day One

Hello blogging friends!  Today, is the first day of the April New Releases for JustRite Papercraft.  We have another beautiful release of stamps and fabulous projects to share from the Design Team.

Before I get to the New Release I want to share some exciting news with you.  JustRite Papercraft now has Gelatos from Faber-Castell Design-Memory-Craft on the website and they are on sale!  The sale is 20% Off ALL Background Stamps and Faber-Castell Design-Memory-Craft Gelatos and Gelato Accessories.  The sale ends April 9th!

Here is the first New Release for April, CL-04485 Floral Thanks You.  This stamp set has two beautiful floral image, which work wonderfully with the Gelatos and six sentiments.

This is the card that I designed using the CL-04485 Floral Thanks You stamp set from JustRite Papercraft and Gelatos.  The finished size of the card is a 5 x 7.

I started with a piece of Simply Smooth White cardstock and I embossed the floral image using VersaMagic Midnight Black ink from Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko and clear embossing powder.  Next, I started to add color with the Gelatos.  I started with Lavender at the top and then went to the Cotton Candy and then I used Blueberry for the bottom.  I just used my finger to blend the colors and I also blended the colors where they came together on the paper.  Once I had all of the coloring done I used S6-005 

5 x 7 Elegant Labels Four die template from Spellbinders Creative Arts™ to cut/emboss the image.  

Here is a close up of the embossed floral image from the CL-04485 Floral Thanks You stamp set.

Next I used the larger die template in the S6-005 

5 x 7 Elegant Labels Four set and cut/embossed the die cut using Black Licorice cardstock.  I also used S6-001 5 x 7 Matting Basics A die template with Sno Cone cardstock.  I layered the mats together and then used 3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™ to layer and add dimension to the die cut with the floral image.  I stamped and embossed the word Hello on to a piece of Sno Cone cardstock and then I used S5-177 A2 Filigree Delight die template to create the tag.  To finish off the card I used Blueberry Gelato to edge the Sno Cone cardstock.  Then I added a bow made with Strawberry Glaze Seam Binding from Really Reasonable Ribbon, some Recollections bling and a handmade stickpin.

Please be sure to visit each Design Team Member in the link list below to see what they have created to share with you.  Also don't forget to check out the great sale with the JustRite Papercraft Background Stamps and then Faber-Castell Design-Memory-Craft Gelatos and Gelato Accessories.
