Tea Chest/Box - Decoupage

Hello & welcome to my blog today!

Over the last few weeks I decoupaged loads of MDF items & will be sharing these here.

Today its my favorite TEA CHEST. The Graphic 45 "Botanical Tea" papers were just apt to transform a blank tea chest.

I first unscrewed all the hardware on the box & gave it a generous coat of  Prima chalkboard paint (sea breeze). Used Mod Podge matt to decoupage the selected designs on the box.

Mini Album - Memories

Welcome here again!

Today's post is a Mini Album for the Lulupu DT post here.

This mini is hand bound & has chip board covers.

The sentiment on the cover is heat embossed & the butterfly is a stamped embellie I made from shrink plastic. "Memories" is handwritten on a speech bubble wood veneer & sealed with glossy accents.

Here is the spine with some beautiful trim, dangling charms & another shrinky embellishment.

Top view of the binding & pages -

This is a six page mini & each page has a pocket for a large tag, in addition to I have also added smaller pockets on some pages for additional journaling tags.

Post-it Note Holders

Hi Friends!

I love making bookmarks & cards for teachers. You can see some of my posts on these here, here & here. This year my daughter requested me to make post it holders for her teachers (w/o flowers & stamping!). 

Used some distress inks & stencils for the first one. The flaps of all the post it holder have a velcro closure.

And this is the last one, the die cut doily inked & misted with distress ink to make the background. The cute pencil embellie was stamped & made from shrink plastic.

I had earlier made easel type post it holders too, you can view that post here.

Anniversary Card with Vellum flowers

Good Morning! 

Second post today to share the card I made for the current challenge at Lulupu Challenge#53. You can find all the details about the challenge in my post here.

My card base is black & the diagonal stripes were created with a MFT stencil & Inkagold Silver. The Inspired by Stamping blooms were heat embossed in silver on vellum & then fussy cut.

Over the blooms I have added shimmer with my favorite - clear Wink of Stella brush pen! This is a must have for all card makers, especially if you are one like me who likes just a subtle shimmery look. Just look at the effect.......even fantastic in real!
