Do You Love Fairies?

Hi there!  Kim L. here today to share my latest make for ScraPerfect.  Do you like fairies?  If so, you will love the card I just created.  I am relatively new to the world of fairies, but am quickly falling in love with them.  They inspired this card, I hope you like it:


I was inspired by the paper I found in my stash that I got from White Rose Crafts and challenged myself to use colors outside of my comfort zone.  So I began by painting a purple glittered paint on my card for the background.  I also swiped a purple ink around the edges of my card, inside and out front and back.   Then I secured a green paint chip to the card using the Best Glue Ever of course with a small No Clog Writing Cap on top for precision.  I only used small dots of glue since you only need a tiny amount for a great hold.  Repeating this process, I finished my background with a white heart shaped paper doily and the fairy paper from my stash.


I added a pretty sequin trim around the portion that was painted purple with the Best Glue Ever in a thin line.  I let this sit for a few minutes before working in that area on my card.


Now that my background was done, it is  time to embellish my project.  This is the part of the process that I enjoy most!  I wanted to give my fairy some sparkle, so I covered her dress with the
Best Glue Ever and then gently shook a lavender Tiny Bottle of Embellishments over the dress and it turned out very pretty!



Some self adhesive gems were also added for interest, as well as two sequin stars in different shades of purple.  On the top center of my card I added a lavender polka dot bow and a paper flower.  I embellished the center of the flower with a dew drop from my stash,  I adhered this to the flower with the Best Glue Ever and placed it perfectly using Embellie Gellie.  This product is fabulous for placing tiny embellishments that are so hard to keep track of or get stuck to your fingers.




Trying something different, I also added pieces of my fairy paper to the inside and back of my card with the Best Glue Ever.  I like how these details added a unique touch to my card.




I really appreciate you stopping by today to see my fairy themed card.  Please be sure to go to ScraPerfect to get supplies for all of your crafting needs and follow ScraPerfect on social media for updates and inspiration.  I would love it if you would follow my blog as well, Vintage Rose Creations by Kim, to see more of my work.

Hippity Hoppity Easter's On It's Way!

Hello everyone, I am. here today for ScraPerfect to share a home decor project that is great for Easter or Spring.  I love home decorating for the holiday and found a frame on clearance to alter and I love the way it turned out, thanks to the amazing products from ScraPerfect.  Here is what I created, I hope you like it:


To begin. I measured and cut the cream crochet ribbon and ivory sequin trim and set them aside.  Then I applied small dots of the Best Glue Ever along the turret on the perimeter of my mint green photo frame.  I applied the crochet ribbon while applying gentle pressure and repeated the process with the sequin trim.  I took the back of my frame off  and attached ivory organza to the inside with the Best Glue Ever.  I made medium sized glue dots  from the Best Glue Ever and used them to secure the tea dyed doily to the organza.  This was also done with the rusty overalls, which I swiped with a beige ink pad to give a distressed feel. Whenever I am working with the Best Glue Ever, I keep a small No Clog Writing Cap on my bottle for precision and to reduce the amount used since a little goes a long way!


Now it is time to embellish my project.  I used the Best Glue Ever to attach the mint green metal clip to my frame.  It holds my hanging rabbit resin embellishment that I also added a small ivory gross grain bow to.  On the opposite corner, I used  large glue dots of the Best Glue Ever to secure the white cotton bud and small grey speckled eggs on top to my project.  I also attached the large green egg this way.  Then I got out my Embellie Gellie to add some mica flakes in the middle of my small egg trio, as well as on the clip on the top of my frame.



Thank you all for stopping by today to check out my home decor piece, I had fun making it and can't wait to display it for Easter.  Please be sure to follow ScraPerfect on social media and stop by the store website to purchase your supplies too, you won't be sorry!  If you would like to see more of my work, you can subscribe to my blog, Vintage Rose Creations by Kim.

Until Next Time,
