Burlesque Fantasy Mini Configuration Box

Hi there!

Today, I am posting another Mini Configuration Box. I'm currently obsessed with them. I recently ordered Prima Marketing Wood Icons Box embellishment. To be honest, I just adore them. So, I thought to alter another one of them. Who could throw the cutest wood packing away?? I CAN'T!!!

I painted the box with Distress Paint in Walnut Stain. Then covered it with vintage brown pattern paper. It's from My Mind's Eye The Best Of Lost & Found™ Paper Pad. It comes in 12x12" with 180 sheets. I love all the designs and they're just perfect for vintage themed projects.

Next, I pulled up some blooms from Prima's new flower collection. I have used Allegra Vintage Emporium. Also, the cute little clock is from Prima's 'Vintage Emporium' Wood Icons Box. Then adjusted Tim Holtz's metal frame (FAV!). Next, I painted some wood veneers by Jillibean Soup. The set is 'today printed' and comes in 11 pieces. End step was to fill up the mini jar with silver glitter and stick some cream and silver rhinestones.

I hope you liked the box! Until next time. 

Sunny-Day-Out Mini Configuration Box

Here again with another altered Prima Marketing's wood icons box. Painted the entire box using Distress Paint in Walnut Stain. Then for the base, I've used My Mind Eye's 6x6" Paper Pad (forgot which one was it - Sorry!). Embellishments are by Tim Holtz, Heidi Swapp, Prima Marketing & Recollection. Butterfly die is by Sizzix which again has been distressed using Faded Jeans & Aged Mahogany.

Let's have a closer look! 

This is pretty much it! I hope you liked it!

Withered Day Canvas

Hey everyone!

Today's post is one of the March creations, I actually forgot to blog about it. Sigh! It's one of my favorites! I wonder what happened to the picture quality as in real it looked gorgeous. Anyway let's get into the details.

Things Used:
- Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads (Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo, Aged Mahogany & Embossing Ink)
- Tim Holtz Distress Paints (Walnut Stain, Evergreen Bough & Black Soot)
- Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stains (Gathered Twigs, Antique Linen & Peacock Feathers)
- Tim Holtz LatticeWork Stencil
- Ranger Embossing Powder in Black
- Perfect Pearls (Pewter & Heirloom Gold)
- Scripted Stamp by Stampers Anonymous
- Cardstock (Forgot from which paper pad it was)
- Dusty Attic's Chipboards
- Prima Marketing Flowers
- Tim Holtz Metal Embellishments
- Embossed Plastic Leaves (Picked up from some local store in Riyadh)



At first, I distressed the entire background with inks and stains. I used a scripted stamp with some perfect pearls to give a bit of a shine. Once the background was done I put up the picture and started off with the embellishments which are already listed above. However, that leaf flourish in grey has been cut through Silhouette Cameo.



Close-up!!! As you can see there's a lot going on the background.

And there is my favourite pick - Metal Frame from Tim Holtz collection. Look at that detailing! I'm literally drooling over it!!!

Anyhow, it's time to end the post. I hope you all liked it! Until next time!

Vintage Apology Card

Hello!

I'm back after way too long and this time I am trying to manage my schedule better than the last year. I hope it goes well! Anyway, so here I am posting my very first project for January & this is my current FAV. I liked how it turned out!

First of all, I have used Ranger Watercolor Paper. Honestly speaking if you are working with Distress Inks. You have to give them a TRY! You will definitely see a major difference between using an regular paper and a watercolor paper. Also, the one thing I liked about Ranger Watercolor Paper is that it has two sides one is smoother and other is the textured one. Here I went with the textured side, distressed it with Vintage Photo and did the edges with Black Soot. Then layered a Tim Holtz Latticework Stencil on top and inked it with Walnut Stain. Next I sprayed it with Distress Stain in Gathered Twigs. This was my first time using Spray Stains and I loved how they make the entire background pop. I absolutely love the effect!

For the metal embellishments, I chose Prima's clock and Tim Holtz's compass.

Leafy branches and cog are Sizzix dies. I have Distress Painted the two branches in Walnut Stain.

Top-right framelits are again from Sizzix. I have over-layered two frames. I have used black glitter sheet for the base and on the top comes the text. It has been die-cut on a plain paper which has been later distressed in Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain. 

In the end I have glued some paper flowers in Maroon which went totally well with the vintage look. 

I hope you like it. Drop in some love in the comments below! 

Mini Canvas in PINK!

Hello crafty fellows!

I hope you are enjoying your winter holidays! Today I am posting a mini canvas that was presented as Christmas gift. The lady wanted something colorful with an name initial on it and this is what I ended up with.

I have used PCW word art file in here. You can find the link HERE. The set comes with 4 different texts. I just love the chalky effect of it!

First of all, I painted the mini canvas using Distress Paint in 'Picked Raspberry' then I stamped the canvas using one of the Tim Holtz Anonymous Stamp. Then added few flowers, name initial and PCW word art.

I hope you like today's post & have an amazing new year.

Configuration Box

Hello Crafty People!

I hope you're doing fab! I am here with a Configuration Book Shadow Box. It's a Tim Holtz Configuration Box which is about 6 x 9 x 1.25 inches and has 6 compartments.

So, firstly I covered the entire box using MME Pretty Things 6x6" cardstock. I adore this paper pad. It's so vintage and floraly. I simply can't get over these papers.

The paper was 6x6" so I overlapped two sheets and added a lace over it. Lace has been distressed by Walnut Stain Paint. Flowers are randomly picked from Prima and Recollection flowers packs.

Here comes my favorite part - THE INSIDE. Again, on the left I have overlapped two sheets covered the joined with the distressed lace. The sides of the box and edges of every cut out sheet is also distressed by the same paint.

I didn't cover it much, as the papers were itself gorgeous. So, just added few flowers and metal embellishments here and there.

I have used PCW word art file in there. You can find the link HERE. The set comes with 4 different texts. I just love this set because it almost goes with every project I make.

Framelits dies are by Sizzix. On the left compartment, hanging metal embellishment is by Prima. I love the little crown at the bottom. On the right, I went with the mini jar with silver glitter and text in it.

I hope you like today's post! See you next time!

Burst of Bubble Canvas

Here I am with another canvas post! I have used Distress Paint in 'Picked Rasberry'. It's a perfect shocking pink. Fancy framelit is by Sizzix. For flowers I went with Prima and Recollections. As always! I think they both have such a huge variety and best of all. 

Till next time!

Configuration Box

Hello to November!

It's been so so long since I have last posted! Orders and studies have been keeping me busy. There are so many projects to be posted!!! I wish there were a bit more than 24 hours a day. Sigh! 

Anyway, I did this Configuration Box which is by Tim Holtz recently. This was my first time doing it and I had fun making it. Lets get into the details!

First of all, I painted the edges from inside out by Distress Paint 'Black Soot'. Now for the front I covered it with DCWV 'Old World Stack' paper. It was more like a brighter blue but I distressed with grey shade (forgot the color name!) and edges by Black Soot. Stamps are by Stampers Anonymous and flowers used in here are mixed few by Recollection, Prima and others are from a local store. For butterflies, I have used a Sizzix die and later distressed them in various colors. 

I love the word art stamp! It went well with the theme. 

Forgot to mention earlier, banner is a die-cut by Sizzix. 

Box sides are covered by using a different paper from the same DCWV pad. Edges are distressed in Black Soot. 

Now comes the inside part! Left side has been covered with the distress paper and then a personalized note is added on it. Why waste the space? When we have got plenty!

On the right, a lot of emblishments have been used as you can see. Metal, florals, die-cuts .. Literally everything! 

That cute mini envelope is a Bigz die by Sizzix which has note in it. Metal embellishments are just random ones which them from a local store. && for that mini jar I just added some silver glitter and added a stamped name tag and glued the cork.

Laces have been distress painted and the top and the bottom lace is a black card stock which have punched by Martha Stewart edge punch. 

That is it! It took about 2 days to complete this project as I am a impatient crafter. Haha! Hope you like it!

An Orange Effect Photo Canvas

Presenting one my favorites again, this time it's a Personalized Photo Canvas, I really enjoyed making it. I have been using Distress Paints a lot lately on wooden frames and canvas, Here I have painted it with Antique Linen. I love the soft tone it gives. 

Then I embellished it with some flowers, die-cuts, lace and so much more.

I hope you like it!

Shabby Blues Canvas

Hello everyone!

I created this few weeks back using various of items. To start with, I have used Distress Paint in Weathered Wood to paint the canvas. I love the matte effect it gives! If you're into painting or mixed media projects, you have to use Distress Paints. They are just superb! 

Then I have used a felt design in white which I bought from a local store months ago and it was not coming in use until I started making this. At the beginning, I painted the felt by Distress Paint but it didn't came out right so at the end I just turned it around and used the original white side. 

After that, I topped it with few flowers by Recollections and die-cuts which are by Sizzix. I cut the small part of black wire, started rolling it and stopped when I came across just like what I wanted it to be. Later I filled the tiny jar with some silver glitter and printed out 'live' for it.  

I loved how it turned out! I was pretty with the outcome. 

Let me know what do you think about my project! 

Deep Blue Me Wooden Frame

And here comes the last post of the Personalized Photo Hangers. This one is in neutral tone. It can be perfect for anyone who likes light shades.

Now let's get into the details .. Shall we?

I have used Distress Paint on the frame. Flowers are from Recollections and die-cuts by Sizzix. There is a metal embellishment on the left corner just below Teal flower. It's by Tim Holtz.

Card stock is by DCWV Fresh Floral Stack. I love the pattern! Grey colored twine is used to put up the photo mat. 

I really hope you enjoyed the series! I will be back soon hopefully with another interesting post. Till next time!

Tiptoe Through the Tulips Wooden Frame

Today I am posting a darker shade of frame. I have painted it with Distress Paint in Aged Mahogany. I love this color! It's so bold and beautiful! I have paired it with lighter color embellishments mostly beige with grey and mustard yellow. Metal corner by Tim Holtz is in dull copper tone. 

Recollections flowers are used with few leafy Sizzix die-cuts. I am pretty much using it on every other project of mine.

I hope you like today's personalized frame. Tomorrow there would be a new one and sadly that would be the last post of the Personalized Photo Hangers series.

I look forward to hearing from you back. See you tomorrow!

Fuchsia Floret Wooden Frame

Hello again!

I am trilled to share this project with you all. This was the very first altered frame I did. I had this wooden frame since 5 or more years and its texture was getting darker and it started to look unclean. So, one day I thought why not I alter it and this is what I came out with.

Let's go through the products what I have used in here..

Firstly, I covered the entire frame with Distress Paint. I used Antique Linen in here to give a neutral look. Then I embellished it with various flowers. Few are from Prima Marketing and Recollections and rest I bought from a random store. Die-cuts are by Sizzix and metal corner is by Tim Holtz. 

Secondly. instead of adding a plain paper. I took a pattern paper from DCWV Old World Stack and attached a twine in a twisted manner. Next I took a mini clip distressed it with the same paint to match it with the frame. 

Lastly, I added a Photo Mat and a PCW Chalkboard Word Art. 

This way you can frame your favorite photos in style and make them last a lifetime.

I hope you enjoyed my post! See you next time!

By The Yellow Sand Wooden Frame

Howdy Folks!

Hope you all are well! It's been a bit late since I last posted. I have been so busy with my projects that I wasn't able to post regularly. Anyway, I thought of running a series on Altered Frames. Each day for about 4 days I would be posting a new Altered Frame. However, I already have posted one on 5th. You can check out that here. 

At first, I distressed the complete frame by Distress Paint. Here I have used 'Tumbled Glass'. Followed with some embellishments by Recollections, Prima Marketing and Tim Holtz. Those shiny leaves are made of plastic. It somewhat gives a aluminum finish. A little while back I purchased these from a sewing store in Riyadh. I was surprised to see the variety  they had. So I went on and purchased in various colors and shapes. 

Then I took a pattern paper from DCWV Fresh Floral Stack and secured the twine. 

In the end I added a mini clip and a photo mat.

Do let me know how did you like it!

Things used in here are:

Tim Holtz's Metal Embellishment

Beige Beads

Another major thing to mention is that I have used a Distress Paint in Antique Linen for the background. 

Framed Memories Wooden Frame

Hello October!

My post was getting delayed due to severe work load. I am literally swamped with work!

SO-OOO! Here comes my newest made product - Personalized Photo Hanger! I made 5 of these! LOL! No kidding! I simply loved the idea! Rather than putting up a picture in a simple wooden frame why not do it with style. 

Here is a close-up of the flowers. They are by Michaels and Recollections. 

Looking forward for your feedback! 

Pastel & Grey Blooms Altered Box

Hello!

Hope you all are doing fab! I come with another altered box. This time I have used pastel blue with grey and I liked how it turned out. 

Firstly I covered the whole box with 'Pewter' Distress Paint and covered the cover with DCWV 'Old World Stack' paper. Then I embellished it using Sizzix dies and few flowers. Silver rose is from Recollections and other two I got from a local store in Riyadh. 

They're perfect for gifting and storing little items! Let me know what you think of it.

Victorian Era Canvas

Hey there!

GUESS WHAT?!?! I have recently started using Distress Paints by Tim Holtz and I am so in love with them. I have been using them on canvas and wood boxes lately and I am so liking the end-result. It's gives a super neat matte finish. I would be reviewing the product soon! 

Anyway! Let's go back to what I really want to talk about. I did this canvas last week for a client who wanted to have a anniversary wish on it for her brother and sister-in-law. So, for the background I used a Distress Paint. REPEATING AGAIN, it gave such a even and clean look (COMPLETELY OBSESSED!). Yet again, I have embellished with few flowers, leaves, butterfly and so on.
