Guitars and Magical Unicorns from Dress My Craft

Magical Unicorns

Hi crafters...hope you like this  cheerful , fun and magical card  which will be perfect for a child or teenager! It is called a Star Effects card and is dimensional but can be taken apart for mailing and is sure to be a hit !!

Dress My Craft Magical Unicorns

The Magical Unicorns paper collection is such a magical one and has such gorgeous images of the  most adorable ponies, beautiful unicorns , castles and whimsical clouds and rainbows! To make this style of card you actually need just a single 6 x 6 inch sheet of paper to make the  2 components of the  card but if you use 2 papers you can mix and match the  elements!

Dress My Craft  Floral Guitar

I used the  Floral Guitar die from Dress My Craft. I love musical themed elements as they are so versatile...perfect to add to scrapbooks, card and literally anything handmade !

Floral Guitars

The Floral Guitar die set consists of 2 dies...a lovely background die and a delicate die you can layer on top or use as it is.

You can ink or cut the  background die from a solid color paper to create beautiful layered guitars!

I literally went to town with the  die cutting on this one.

I had injured my hand some weeks back but my latest purchase from Crafters Corner...the  Gemini was invaluable in die cutting all the  beautiful guitars for these cards.

 I hope you liked the  Magical Star Effects Card. I made this for my daughter who is having her final exams and she has been working really hard for it!!
Sharing one more card to show you how you can use the  floral guitars in a more subtle way but in the same  style

 I actually made this card for my husband as like most men he loves music and the  Floral Guitar was perfect as he is an avid gardener too and loves flowers!

Dress My Craft Rice papers and Cadence

Helloo there...

 THURSDAY tutorial after a small break!
Today I am altering an unused journal/diary using the lovely rice papers from Dress My Craft. I have used the Vintage Princes collection, absolutely stunning.



Along with these I have used lots of products from cadence!

The highlight of this project is the use of Cadence Antique gesso as base coat, then creating a resist layer using wax and then giving a coat of chalk paint on top and finally distressing it!
See all of it here in the video!


The final outcome of the journal is this...


Not only that, I have altered few more books to create a vintage stack of books home decor project!
How does this look...


Here are the list of products from the store..
