Shabby Chic Layout!

Hello everyone! How are you all doing? For todays post I am making a Layout which has been inspired by all my fellow Dt's who make such amazing layouts! Hope you all like it! This is a picture heavy post so sit back n read on :)



This is what I created with the oh so Gorgeous Pion Designs papers!



This is a wycinanka chipboard butterfly! Isn't it gorgeous? 









I started with added the base paper to a chipboard sheet next I layered the "pink fabric" print sheet to it and distressed its edges using my favourite Prima Marketing distressing tool. 


Next I cut 2 papers and distressed and layered them on cream coloured cardstock! 


Added it to the base using double sided foam tape. 


Next I did some stencelling using a very gorgeous stencil by The crafters Workshop - Cabbage rose 

I also did little spraying with few of my Lindy's and added these gorgeous die cuts I cut using the Hollywood die by- sue willson Its a very pretty die and I just love how it looks! 


Next I added my picture and begun with the embellishing!

I've added 2 more die cuts using the Dancing doily border die by cheery lynn 
Its a very pretty die and I love the lacy look of it. I've embellished the layout using variety of mulberry roses from the store along with the oh soo prettyy chipboard cut outs by Wycinanka available in our store. 
I added this pretty art glitter to the center of the butterfly! The picture cannot do the justice to its true beauty. 




To add some finishing touches I added a sentiment from this stamp set by Justrite! 




Hope you all like it!
Have a good day
Hugs

Banner garland

Hi friends ,
This project is very close to my heart as I made it for my daughters room. Both of us love pink and we always wanna be surrounded with this gorgeous colour .
I created a banner for her pin up board where she organises her school schedule and her other activities. 


Step 1:
I started by cutting 5 thick Kraft coloured triangles and 5 different pion patterned paper triangles( which were a little smaller than the Kraft triangles) I love the pion papers because they r so pretty and girly.

Step 2: 
I used clear bead gel and the beautiful tim holtz lace stencil to add some texutre on the triangles.

Step 3:
Next I stamped few Altenew vintage flowers and vintage roses with the help of my misti tool. Fussy cut them by hand.
I used the stampin up inks for these vibrant pretty blooms.I have a tiny video tute to introduce you to "Misti"

Step 4:
I wanted to use the super cute Julie Nutting wooden dolls for this project as my daughter loves them. I wanted to trim away the loop and it was easy with tonic scissors.


Step 5:
I used one of my spellbinders labels die to cut 5 pieces which i have placed at the base of my arrangement. There are lots of cute tags and elements in the pion stack and I trimmed and distressed them too.

Step 6: 
I punched some pink paper with the STAMPIN up border punch & added at the top. I sticked a pearl string and a white lace trim to add interest.

Step 7:
Final arrangement of the banner . I layered few pion elements and tags over each other. Then I placed the roses and leaves. I sticked the doll and a cute mini metal charm. To add a little bling I used the mariane crystals here and there. 
Finally i stringed all the five triangles through some seem binding and a cute banner was created .
Here are some close up shots :





My daughter absolutely loved it and will place it the way she wants.
I hope u too liked this post.

Thanks for stopping by
Lots of love

Shabby tea pot

Hi guys!!
Welcome to crafterscorner!
It feels so good to be able to use all the best supplies of the world in our creativity and all this is possible because of "crafterscorner". There have been so many new brands which are pouring in our store almost everyday and that allows us to be more creative and to be at par with the top crafters of the world.

The new and old releases of heartfelt creations are extreemly gorgeous and blend beautifully with each other. My focus for this month was on flowers and heartfelt creations . In my last post I created flowers with the botanical wings die and altered a bird cage . Today I got my hands on an old teapot and gave it a makeover.
I have a detailed video tutorial at the end of the post and u can watch all the steps I used to create it.
For quick reference I am sharing some steps and pictures...
Step 1:
Clean the teapot properly and allow it to dry. Apply 2-3 coats of gesso to prime the surface. Allow it to dry naturally or use the ranger Heat It took to dry it faster.



Step 2:
Take modpodge and Tim holtz Tissue paper and stick it over the entire surface of the tea pot. This is called decoupage and it gives the surface a new look and texture. Once dry add thin diluted layer of gesso to lighten the print .



Step 3:
Take prima chalk edgers in shade DRY SAND to distress the edges. Blend using a wet baby wipe. Then add Inka gold GOLD on the egdes and other spots to give the teapot an old Victorian look.
Inka gold are highly pigmented creamy wax based paints which can go on porous/non porous  surface and dry super quick.


step 4:
Now add the Distress Inks with the help of a sponge and I used CRACKED PISTACHIO , BROKEN CHINA AND WORN LIPSTICK all over the tea pot.


This is all I did to prep the surface and then I started with the embelishments.
I chose heartfelt creations majestic morning Die and stamp to make my flowers. And Elizabeth crafts leaf die for my project today.


Step 1: 
Stamped the stamp with versafine watermark ink and heat embossed using ultra fine white embossing powder.
Step 2:
Die cut the flowers by creating a die template .
Step 3:
Colour the flowers with distress inks 
ABANDONED CORAL,PEELED PAINT AND WORN LIPSTICK.
I used a water brush to colour the flowers and the embossing areas left white.


Step 4:
Moulded the flowers with a ball stylus and stuck them together. Then added some gold glass glitter in the centres using aleen's tacky glue.


Finally I arranged everything on my teapot. I also used three butterflies from the peon papers, few mulberry roses and leaves to make my bunch look fuller.
Added few blings ,metal charms and lace to make the look complete.



I have a detailed video showing all the above steps. 
Here is the link:





Hope u liked my post for today.
See u soon....till then keep crafting 
And take care 
Hugs

Altered Little Cottage House!

Hello everyone!
How are you all doing? Hope you all are enjoying the fantastic posts by my fellow DT's they are doing a fab job! Today I am here to share a very dreamy whimsical project with all of you!
I decided to alter the super cute little cottage by Kaisercraft!

Here's how it looked! 

To start with I have applied Gesso to all the pcs both. And then I painted them using a lite shade of Arcylic paint. 

I dried all of them with my heat tool to speed up the process. Next I traced all the pcs on my pattern papers selecting which part of the cottage has which print. 

Next I added this Gorgeous paper by Pion designs to my base and I cut the slits using my craft knife this is a very important step cause if you dont cut the slits well the house wont assemble properly. I inked the edges with Victorian velvet distress ink its one of my favourite colours! I just lovee it! 
And yes for the entire project I've used red tacky tape from our store to add all the pattern papers. We have a wide variety of sizes available in our store and trust me this is the best tacky tape you will ever find! It holds the paper so well. 


 Next I assembelled the house and begun embellishing! Lets see how it turned out? 

Ta-Daaa! 


Isn't it pretty? I just lovee how it turned out. The pion design papers are soo Gorgeous! They are oh so perfect for shabby chic style projects. The soothing colours <3 

I have decorated the cottage with mulberry flowers from our store!


Do you see that cute nest? Its availabe in our store! And do you see those tiny crystals? They are a new addition - These are diamond gems by Marianne designs I just love them . Our store has them in 3 different colurs Do check out the "Jewells and Enamels" category of our website. 



I added this super cute mail box miniature by Timeless miniatures. I've decorated it with a cute resin bird and the tiny flowers are also available at our store. 

The main highlight of my cottage is this mini lantern by idea-ology I just love it! 



Here's how it looks in the dark! That lantern really adds up to the cottage!

Hope you all liked my post!
