Vintage Pocket Letter

Hi everyone and welcome back to my happy place

 

Winter is very cold here in New Zealand and im envious of my friends all over the world who are enjoying summer!

The upside to this is getting into the crafty space and creating pretties to share with you......this weeks Design Team Project for Tsunami Rose Designs is another pocket letter using the beautiful "Ephemeral Love Affair"

 

To begin I had printed out this collection for my last project which as I have said before its so easy to do...

 then cut to my pocket sizes and began by inking the edges with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Di stress ink!

 

I have cut out some selection pieces and distressed the edges using my scissors then adding some ink as well for a rough worn look!

 

 

I have been playing with Resin and embossing so ive added some of these to my pocket letter for interest along with my little vintage inspired crochet pieces!

 

 

I also gathered some little scraps that I had tea dyed and added them as well and a final touch of some trim, flatback pearls,an inchie and a few sentiments my project is completed......

 

I hope you have enjoyed the process with me and thank you for stopping by.....

Ephemeral Love Affair Pocket Letter

Hi everyone

welcome back to my "Happy Place"

and a Design Team project for the month of July

 

I have chosen to use the  "Ephemeral Love Affair" collection from Tsunami Rose Designs!

 

 

The first thing to do with these gorjuss collections is print them onto your chosen paper or card......which is easy peasy!

 

This collection is just  beautiful!

 

After printing out my selection of pages I set to cutting to fit my pocket letter then using Tim Holtz Di stress ink I added some interest to the edges and also on some little pieces of chipboard scraps to make some matching embellishments.

 

I had been playing with embossing powder and resin so I thought this would be a lovely addition on my pocket letter to my friend!

I also cut out a sentiment from another collection, tore and inked the edges.

 

Then using laces, metal, embossed chipboard, flatback pearls, resin, and my little chipboard pieces .....decorated each pocket!

 

Finishing off with some matching seam binding for a dangle

and filled each pocket with goodies!

Petticoat Ephemera Vintage Card

Hi everyone and welcome back to my happy place

 and another Design Team project for Tsunami Rose Designs

 

I have created this vintage style card using the gorjuss

Petticoat Ephemera Collection

 

 

I have set to cutting out the pieces I needed

 and di-stressed with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo.

 

Then I have glued onto a cream cardstock

 di-stressed and inked that to give a tattered vintage look

 

The fun begins laying down each layer, adding sentiments!

 

With the addition of lace and mini flat back pearls for some interest.....

 

and a twine tied with a bow to finish off!

 

I hope this has inspired you to go have a look at the gorjuss collections over at

This weeks Design Team project for Tsunami Rose Designs

 is a Pocket Letter using the gorjuss

 Petticoat Ephemera Digi Kit!

 

The downloads are so easy to do!

The Digi Collections are just so easy to work with and look just fab! I went to work adding embellishments on each section of my pocket letter.....

Monochrome Black Wall Hanging

Hi everyone and welcome back to my happy place!

 

Some great news!

 I have been selected to join the design team for Tsunami Rose Designs

so there will be lots more creations from me in the future!

 

 

 

For my first project for May I chose to work with the lovely Monochrome Black collection and created a wall hanging!

The collection was very easy to download and print off the pages and ephemera I needed for the project! ...... I love that! 

 

 

I began by fussy cutting out the lady, sentiment flags and peacock to fit my little frame.

 

I decided some lovely baby pink accent would be perfect here....

so out came my box of embellishments! I painted the card frame pink and layered the pages.

 

I sooooo enjoy embellishing my projects!

 I glued down the fussy cut lady from the collection and the picture frame....added some lace, feathers, acrylic flower and flat back pearls in matching colours.

Finally I added the sentiment flags 

 some pink seam binding to hang my wall hanging!

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this process and welcome you to leave a comment!

 

There is a sale on at the moment so rush on over and have a look... HERE
