Hello!!

Did I mention I'm now designing for Gina's Designs??  YEP!  So expect to see more chippy love over here :-)

Now, on with the makes!

Today, I've created a set of Easter inspired cards---because it's Easter---and also because I'm absolutely smitten with the pieces in the Build A Layout Easter set from Gina's Designs.

To alter the chipboard, I began by painting each piece white and then adding a wash of Distress ink.

To finish them off and give a bit of sparkle, I dabbed on some Stickles glitter glue here and there.

If you look closely, you can see a few sequins under the vellum to add some fun movement to the cards.

And that is the set!  These cards are definitely Easter-inspired, but just 'spring' enough to brighten someone's day for the whole season.

Thanks so much for joining me, and I'll see you next time!!

A Hop With May Arts And Epiphany Crafts!

Hello and welcome to my stop on the hop with May Arts and Epiphany Crafts!  If you've stumbled along my post first, hop on back over to May Arts---and don't forget to leave comments for a chance to win some crafty goodness...

Now, on with the makes!  Here's what I've come up with...

One of my favorite ways to use ribbon, is to create a fabric cover for a mini album.  

   This particular book cover was created by layering several lengths of the 2" Burlap/Cotton Blend ribbon in white in a crosshatch pattern, and adding machine stitching in a contrasting black thread.

The Chevron Bubble Caps by Epiphany Crafts make the perfect colorful embellishment!  I love the ombre look I was able to achieve.

And that's the cover!  Super clean and graphic.  I love this geometric look!!
