Altered CD

My second altered CD! 

These are really fun to do!! 

I added some twine around the edge, also used it for the hanger. 

The stamped sentiment is a Tim Holtz stamp and the Woman is from The Octopode factory! 

 I used a piece of burlap and some lace trim. I added a stick pin, changed the color using alcohol ink. 

I really like how this turned out :)

Lollipop flowers

Here are some orange and brown flowers I made from paper. I believe they are called lollipop flowers. They are just layers of circles that have been inked, sprayed with water and squished up into a ball, then unfolded and shaped. Use a brad or bling for centers.  Easy and fun to make!

Name Plate

I made Lana this name plate for her crafting desk/room using the tutorial from Creations With Christina.  Here is a link to her tutorial. I used the same technique for this as I did with the pin cushion and altered CD, so it all is a matching set. I painted it pink, added crackle, then added MS pearl paint on top. I added some cute lace, flowers, tulle, decorative stick pin, and a white feather with the flower in the bottom corner. You can't really tell in this picture but the butterfly is embossed after being stamped onto pink paper and cut out. I added the pink pearl trim around her name, which are glittery thickers.

Altered CD

This is my very first altered cd. It was made for my swap partner Lana. I have tons of CD's around and finally altered one. Now its becoming one of my favorite things to alter!

 Here is how I made it - I covered it in paper and painted it pink, added crackle, then finished it with Martha Stewart Pearl Paint. The flowers are from a sizzix die. The butterfly was stamped onto pink paper and embossed in white. Added some pink bling, tulle, and a white feather. Also, lace and pearl trim around the stamped quote.

Another Pin Cushion

I love making pin cushions out of these black olive cans! They are so easy and fun to do. This one was made for my swap friend Lana. I painted it pink then added some crackle then used Martha Stewart pearl paint. I love it. I then added some pretty lace and some pink pearl trim around the edge. The butterflies are stamped on pink paper then embossed, so pretty!

The stick pins are made with pretty glass beads and I used the sizzix 3d flower die for the flowers.

Rosettes

Here are some fabric rosettes I made. I got the material from Hobby Lobby. It already had the circles you just cut them out. I used two different size blings for the centers.

Pin cushion with stick pins

I made this pin cushion out of a black olives can. It seems about the perfect size for a cushion and I seem to always have these cans on hand since I add olives to my pizza. (yum) 

I'm not the greatest at getting the material just right around the ball, it seems to always leave creases.  I added feathers around the edge along with pearls and lace.

For my stick pins, I used little pink flowers from the dollar store. They look really pretty on there with some pretty glass beads from Wal-Mart.

Coasters

 Coasters are easy and fun to make! 

Just choose what you want on them and Mod Podge it on. I used some thick tiles from Lowes. Backed them with little self adhesive felt pads for cushioning and used Mod Podge on top, added scrapbook paper, added a couple more coats of Mod Podge on top and finished it with a water proof sealer.

3D Flowers

I made these flowers for a Valentine's Day swap. 

I used the Sizzix 3D Flower die.

 I love these flowers, especially the smaller ones. 

You can put a little pearl in them or leave empty! 

I embossed a piece of cardboard and sprayed it with homemade glimmer mist.

Grunge Valentine Card

I love the grunge look, hopefully some of you do too. This Valentine card was inspired by a tag Kim Dellow made. I love her style. The heart stamp is from Tim Holtz and the 'Be Mine' and 'Always & Forever' are stamps I won from A Jillian Vance Design, they are called A {Little} love! I layered corrugated cardboard, a piece of material and a torn piece of brown paper bag. Added lots of ink and some homemade glimmer mist to everything including the key.

Golf Tiles

These were made kinda last minute. My husband works at a golf course and sprang it on me that he wanted to make the golf pro's there a gift . He pretty much picked out the design, we didn't have a lot to choose from since it was a last minute idea.  Not my favorite but they are alright. We made 2 of these. At the bottom it has the guys' names on them.
