Altered Paper Art featuring the Mabel's Diary Collection...

Wow!  A second post today...that never happens anymore!  LOL

I hope you don't mind!

I'm back to share with you another creation I made using the stunning Mabel's Diary Collection by Ephemera's Vintage Garden!  (This set is on sale for just a few more days, so don't let it slip through your fingers at the discounted pricing!)

I love to create 3D altered art projects using SVG files and my Silhouette Cameo.  I had purchased one awhile back that I had been wanting to play with and finally decided that I would create it using the papers from the Mabel's Diary Collection!  You may have seen a sneak peek of the pieces on Facebook or Instagram if you follow me a few weeks ago!  Well, it's been done and sitting here just waiting to be photographed...but as you know life sometimes gets in the way!  LOL

I decided to create the Dress Form by SVG Cuts! 

I just love their cutting files!

Here's how it came out...

I've used only paper printed from the Mabel's Diary Collection for this project, including the single rose on the shoulder.  I've stamped the rose image and die cut it using the Open Vintage Floret stamp and die by Heartfelt Creations.  

Here's a closer look...

I love how this project turned out, and I will be setting it up as decor in my craft room which was recently redone!

When working with the gorgeous printables by Ephemera's Vintage Garden, I encourage you to think outside the box and use the papers and little bits and bobs to create more than just a journal.  Remember that your scraps will make wonderful pieces to add to your premade planners, the print outs are wonderful for card sets, pocket letters and even stickers and stationery!  (If you haven't seen my previous posts featuring the stationery and stickers, please see here!  Also, I've created a vintage Valentine themed pocket letter using this collection that you can see here!)

The possibilities are endless!

I hope I've been of some inspiration today and that you will now have a multitude of crafty ideas swirling in your head for these printables!  I'd love to hear what you think of the projects, so please feel free to leave a comment!

Until next time...

Birds and Blossoms Blessings...

Hello!

Just popping by with a quick post today!

A few months ago I created this card which I hadn't had a chance to pop onto the blog yet!

If you've followed me for sometime you know that I love creating vintage style cards and love to work with ephemera collage sheets!

Well, here's a look at the most recent card I created using a vintage pre printed panel from Crafty Secrets featuring a picture of a lovely bird perched a top a stunning rose. 

(This card has been added to the Etsy Store)

I've added some Glitter Ritz to the rose to give it an alluring sparkle, and I've also popped up the image using 3D pop dots to add some dimension to the creation.

Here's a closer look...

...and one last picture for you to enjoy...

That's all for me today!

I hope you've enjoyed!

Until next time...

Mid Way Posting for Unstampabelles Challenge Blog

Hello Everyone!

I hope you're enjoying your weekend and having a lovely Sunday!

I'm excited to say that I've returned to my design team position with Unstampabelles Challenge Blog after our dear leader Susan allowed me to take a few months off. 

A huge thanks to Susan and the team for allowing me some time!

Today we are half way through our current challenge, which is...

"Peace and Harmony" 

with the additional twist to add in the element of flight into your creation!

Now there are a few symbols of peace, however I do believe that the most recognized symbol would be the dove.  So that's the direction that I chose to go with my card.  

This ephemera image reminded me of love birds so I decided to create a card that could be used for a wedding or anniversary.  I shaped some roses and leaves and decided to add a butterfly...that is how I've incorporated the twist of flight into my creation.  I've lightly stickled the butterfly to give it a nice shine.  I've added a chipboard sentiment as the finishing touch. 

Here's a closer look at the flower grouping....

Now we are offering a wonderful prize for one lucky winner!

It is a beautiful, intricate Spellbinders die...

 

Remember that you have until the end of the month to enter....so you still have a little time to put on your creative cap and come up with something.  And, as always, we are a challenge blog that encourages you to create without using any stamps!  There are so many other ways to create...inking, dies, drawing, collage, etc.  So remember....No Stamps!

Be sure to pop by the Unstampabelles blog to see the wonderful creations the rest of the design team have made.  

Until next time...
