Richard Garay Products!

Hello everyone!

Welcome to a brand new post at the Crafters Corner Blog!

I have a very exciting post for you all today! I have tried to make projects with some brand new products from our store, completely different from my all time shabby chic floral style!

As you all know Crafters Corner recently got a range of Richard Garay products- stamps ,dies, embellishments, paper pad and die cutting machines too! They have fun products, very versatile and fresh! Today I have focused on making projects for the man in your life? I usually find it kinda hard to make masculine theme projects cause well no flowers, no charms then what do you use? Right?

Not to worry these products are going to make my job super easy!

These are the products used for todays post! Now without much delay lets get started?

First I've fussy cut some pieces from the paper pad. Super stylish shirts, shoes,watches and bow ties!

I absolutely loved the colours!

Next I made 2 card bases - 6x6 inches and added pattern paper to them

I've cut 4 tiles for each card measuring 1.75x2.25 inches add them to the base using foam tape

Next add the fussy cut pieces to the card using glue , you can mix and match the pieces according to your liking.

Next I've taken the stamp - So Dapper from this set and created a ribbon style border

Stamped it with misti using versamark ink and heat embossed it with golden embossing powder and you are done! For the second card I heat embossed the sentiment and added it to the center.

Now coming to our third card. I've tried to make a Tuxedo!

Made a 6x6 card base ,Sizes of white cardstock are - 3x6, 2x6 and 1x6 inches

Stick the 3x6 inch piece in the center of the card using tacky tape and stick the next two layers using double sided foam tape to add dimension

Next I've die cut a bow and stamped it with some stampin up ink added it to the card along with buttons and you are done!

Now coming to the final and last project for today's post I've altered a shadow box frame from my stash!

Started of with painting my base using Prima Chalkboard paint in black! I soo love the finish of this paint so matt and perfect!

Next I arranged all my pattern papers, cut them and stick them to the base and begin embellishing. Ive used the stamp and die set again for this project and ofcourse the fussy cut elements!

Ive added 4 photomats to my final project so there is a definate place for photographs, Here are some close ups of the finished frame!

Hope you all enjoyed today's post!

Feel free to ask any questions and dont forget to leave some love!

Hugs

Altered Clock Frame

Hi everyone! It's Suzna and I'm back with crazy creative project. Yes mixed media Prima Marketing metal frame.Today I'd like to show you one of the projects I decided to put real clock inside frame - I'm sure you remember my Altered tuna tin art

I create texture and color for backgrounds…its basically the same way do in canvas.

So today I will Show you and Give you Ideas how to make your own Altered frame

Here I have basic tutorial pics.

Step 1. Choose your favorite metal frame from Prima Marketing

Step 2. Which is very flexible to remove and attach the frame like this

Step 3. Make a hole in center for attach the clock motor.

Step 4. Select clock design depends on needle

I choose numbers

Step 5. Cover the whole frame area with a coat of black Gesso

Step 6. Decorate 2 sides of the frame with flower

Step 7. By using mode podge & 3D matt gel i attach the bandage cloth and prima art stone on the outer side of frame

Stencil design on background

Step 8. Again 1 layer of black gesso, and thine layer touch up with white gesso

Step 9. Randomly start coloring with Prima acrylic metallic colors, Mainly outer part of frame - Royal red, Emerald green, Steampunk copper & Olive green.

Inside frame : Aqua rose, Viva inka gold

Step 10. Once it done coloring, i decorate my frame with metal charms, Prima flowers, preserved mosses etc

Below image you can see, I attach Prima metal charm : bottle cap. But my clock needle cant move, so i removed that design and i choose thine metal round design charm
