Hydrangea Lawns by Dress my Craft!

Hello everyone! 

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

I will be doing a tute-inspirational post using the Gorgeous paper pad by Dress my Craft called

HYDRANGEA LAWNS 

Its such a beautiful paper pad! Comes in the size 12x12 inches absolutely perfect for Scrapbook layouts, Albums, altering boxes and of course card making. It has 12 designs ,2 sheets each. 24 sheets in all, Acid & Lignin free. It also has 2 sheets which have these adorable die cuts! A paper pad one MUST own! And the best part now... Its only for Rs595! Isn't that great? 

Now for todays post I first want to start with some cards I created for all of you using these Gorgeous papers! Lets have a look ?

Do you like them? Aren't the prints to die for!

Lets get started 

The first thing I did was I scored 4 cards and added pattern paper to those. I've layered 2 cards with Kraft cardstock just to add some more depth to the card

Well I had hard time deciding which prints to select cause all of them are so beautiful and shabby chic!

For the first card I've selected some die cuts and Im using these note cards (the ones on right) from the die cut sheet thats included in the paper pad

Im sticking the bored die cut to the base using my favourite glue! Now this is one glue that I use everywhere! Its light, dries clear and doesnt make a mess! A must have! 

Next I've layered a piece of pattern paper on top using double sided foam tape to add some dimension to the card. 

Next comes my favorite doily die by Prima marketing! It looks beautiful everywhere! 

Now I wanted a frame for my card so I've made one using a mold and Mod podge melter and I painted it using some pretty paints by Prima Marketing 

If you dont know how to use a melter please check this post on how to use Mod podge Melter!

 Also you can check this post to see how to make embellishments using paper clay -Prima Marketing - Paper clay and Vintage Art Decor Mould

Next I'd added some mulberry flowers and die cut leaves to my card. And do you see those pretty pearls? These are a part of the new Fashion Accessories range by Dress my craft! These are pearl hangings I've added them in such a way that they look like stick pins! 

Next I've added my all time fav art pebbles by Prima Marketing to my card and painted them using some wax and unicorn hair paint. 

And ta-daaa the card is ready!

The butterfly is from the Hydrangea stamp set by Justrite stamps I've painted it with some distress inks. Havent done the pretty shading cause I wanted a worn out distressed look ! Cause well Imperfections make it look beautiful!

Now coming to my next card I've basically just done some die cut layering on this card but there is one technique I really wanted to show you all. Im sure a lot of you already know how to do it but for all the newbies I want to show how to partially distress your die cut! I remember when initially I got into crafting n discovered this technique I absolutely loved it! 

  

So here we go place the die on top of the die cut and then distress like you normally would, for a variation you can also you 2 colours Since Im looking for a monochromatic look I used only one colour 

And here its done! 

Layered the die cuts using some foam tape and added my all time fav mulberry flowers! I really hope one day I develope the patience to sit and make some handmade flowers! Till then Mulberry flowers shall rescue me hehe!

 Now for my next card I wanted to do something grunge/mixed media style So I decided on doing some foiling to start with. I have used an adhesive rub on here, you can check a detailed post on it here- Foiling all the way!

I've torn a paper and now Im using a rub on and foil over it

To add some more colour to the card I've used my fav stencil along with some gathered twigs distress ink!

Layered the paper using some foam tape and added this beautiful chipboard cutout by Wycinanka 

Next I've added some flowers and embellishments by Dress my Craft and the gorgeous sequins that match perfectly and add the required bling to the card! 

 Next card I did some layering using these border print outs from the die cut sheet!

And this sentiment is also from the paper pad! Not to miss the beautiful fashion accessories here! 

Lastly I have some moreee inspiration for you all! I made these for my personal use and I have posted the box on my facebook page but I thought I will add them to my post cause I really want you all to see how stunning this paper pad it! 

Hope you all enjoyed today's post! 

Feel free to ask any questions and

Dont forget to leave some love!

Altered Embroidery Hoop Layout

Good morning, everyone! 

Welcome to CraftersCorner blog. Suzna here. I have a beautiful, simple and easy project to share with you today. This Simple altered embroidery hoop to show off your home. I try to altered an embroidery hoop, to be a layout. You know, I’ve always thought it would be cool to work with some of these hoops, but some times I was completely stumped as to what to do with them. But This beautiful paper from Prima marketing solve my problem…Look at my tutorial, what a simple and great way to create a round frame.

They are truly a match made in heaven...and everything you need to start your holiday gifts...or a bit of home decor...like this altered embroidery hoop!

Here’s a good look at completed hoop:

  

Here is the tutorial how I created my embroidery hoop:

****************************************************

The first thing I did was paint the embroidery hoop with Prima Heavy gesso.

Select an embroidery hoop that fits the size of your project and a patterned paper you would like for covering your hoop.

 

I traced around the outside lightly with a pencil and cut it out. It is a lot easier to do this when the paper is not attached to the hoop.

 

Then i cut heart shape papers as it for 2 layer, 1st layer from 6X6 paper pad, 2nd layer cut from A4 paper

Collect fussy cut images from pattern paper

Few images from Rose Quartz Ephemera Cardstock Die-Cuts

Then arranging all together ribbon, gem stones, embroidery laces

For more beautiful look add Prima Flowers

Finally

  

Embroidery hoops are perfect for lots of different crafting projects and I’ve seen some adorable ones around the web! I thought I would give it a try with the Prima paper to create a hoop to hang in daughter’s room. The colors in this collection are a perfect match for girly decor!  

 

You can buy embroidery hoops at your local craft store for a relatively low price. They vary in size so you could choose the one that fits your project. Here i choose 10"inch diameter hoop.

 

As always, I thank you for popping by today. I hope you all have an enjoyable week, and I will see you on next for another tutorial
