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

Petticoat Ephemera Pocket Letter

Hi everyone and welcome back to my happy place!

 

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!

Then just print out and choose what you want to work with!

I have used black card as a mat for each section then inked all the edges with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Di-stress ink to give my project a more vintage look.......

 

 

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.....

 

 

I have used a mix of lace, trim, bows, vintage buttons, bling

and even stickles on the shoe bows....

 

 

I just love the sentiments included in the collection.....

 

I hope you have been inspired to take a look at Tsunami Rose Designs.....a huge collection to choose from!

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

Crafty catch up

Hi everyone and welcome back to my Happy place!

 

Its been just over a month since Imagine if Design Team has finished and I thought I would have a break from crafting!

 

Ohhhh how wrong was I :)

Much crafting for fun with a few catch ups of swaps I am involved in with a few groups and orders to complete for flowers and journals.

And there was a surprise move house again! I am thinking Gypsy might be a suitable name for me these days.....what can a girl do when the owner wants his house back after only 7 months renting ... my little family and I are always up for the challenge ....we are all settled into a much bigger and more comfortable home :)

 

Here are some of the projects!

 

A few of my hand made flowers

 

 

A trio of journals!

 

For a closer look at my journals ......
