Witchy Fun!

Hello!  I am here today to share with you a little Halloween project that I made with some of the wonderful products from ScraPerfect.  This is the top half of my creation, keep reading to see the rest...

I started out with a white five by seven canvas, which I painted a coat of Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam in silver on.  I also painted a paper mache star black and added the Glimmer Glam and a few spritzes of white spray on it too.

Using my machine, I cut out the die cut design and used a very small amount of adhesive to attach it to the canvas. With the Best Glue Ever, you truly on need the tiniest dot.  To help ensure you don't waste glue, attach the No Clog Writing Cap to the top of the bottle.  When you are done and put the top for the writing cap on, it will keep your glue bottle from clogging too!

I adhered the die cut to the canvas and then added a large glue dot to the top in the center.  I tied some black lace and gingham ribbon in a knot and put it on top of the glue dot, pressing lightly.  For further embellishment, I tied some black and white bakers twine through the holes of a button and added that to a rosette, which I attached to the center of the bow.  I added some Dew Drops from The Robins Nest to the canvas as embellishment too using Embellie Gellie.  I actually misplaced the stick that came in the package, but never fear!  I grabbed another stick from my stash and just made another one, easily possible because of the generous amount in the package.

The canvas was now ready for the star, which I planned to dangle from the bottom with bakers twine.  But first, I attached another rosette to the center with an embellished button.  I then embellished it with more Dew Drops.  I added 2 black tassels and some white eyelash trim to dangle from the bottom of the star.

I used a medium sized glue dot to attach the dangling star to the canvas to make one piece.

My final step is always to give my messy hands a few spritzes of the non toxic Best Cleaner Ever.

I really had fun with this home decor piece that I made for Halloween, here is a close up of the finished star: 

And here is what the finished product looks like, now all I have to do is decide where to hang it! I hope you like it:

Purple Masqerade

Hi there!  Kim here today to share another fun mask that I created with the awesome products from

ScraPerfect.  I had so much fun designing my last mask that I did another one to go in my craft room, so it is purple.  I hope you like what I did with this mask, here it is:

I started with a plain white plastic mask and painted it a pale lavender.  I added a layer of purple interference from Deco Art to give it the shimmer you see.  I then hit it with a Lindy's spray in a darker purple shade for some texture.  I glued a purple lace to the bottom of the mask on the back to hang down, followed by a string of purple gems all the way around the edge of the mask.  I used some flatback pearl trim and foil to accent the eyes of the mask as well. I added a couple of large rhinestone gems to the side of each eye and the middle of the dark purple rosette on the side as embellishment.  I used white and lavender ribbons to make a double bow and placed the dark purple rosette with the rhinestone in the center of it. White feathers were glued to the top of the bow in the back and a couple smaller feathers added to the bottom of the bow.  Dangling below the bow are pieces of eyelash trim, seam binding, ribbon, lace, more purple gems and 2 dark purple tassels. For added interest, I added some Dew Drops from The Robin's Nest to the tails of some of these.

This is going to hang proudly in my purple and Parisian themed  craft room.  Here are the products from ScraPerfect that I used in this project:

Best Glue Ever

No Clog Writing Cap

Embellie Gellie

Best Cleaner Ever

Shabby Pink Ballerina Gift Box

Hi there!  I am  here today to share with you another upcycle using the fabulous products from ScraPerfect.  I have so many of these boxes from a monthly subscription and I don't want to waste them.  I decided to upcycle them and use them instead of gift bags.  Hope you like my project:

I began by decoupaging some paper from Scrapberry onto the box using my favorite type of Mod Podge...sparkle! I love the effect the glitter gives on feminine and shabby chic themed projects!

To provide some detail on the sides of the top of the box I adhered ivory flatback pearls and pink pom pom trim with the Best Glue Ever.  To keep my bottle in good working condition, I recommend using the No Clog Writing Cap.  It prevents clogging and protects the tip to ensure your ability to use a thin line of glue.  

This ballerina has been in my stash for ages, so I just had to add it to this project.  Her tutu was blue, so I just added pink stickles to it.  I also added a tiny rhinestone to her tiara with a tiny dot of the Best Glue Ever.  I placed the rhinestone with Embellie Gellie, the quick pick up tool.  The ballerina is surrounded by pink resin roses, which were also adhered to the box with glue dots made from the Best Glue Ever.

For the tails that hang down off of the box, I raided my snippets basket for some small pieces of lace, then added pink and white seam binding and a pink tassel.  Each piece was secured to the top of the box with glue dots made from the Best Glue Ever.  I find that the glue dots work better with heavier items like lace and can be made the exact size needed.

Finally, I attached some ivory flatback pearls all the way around the bottom of the box with a thin line of the

Best Glue Ever for added interest. You can also see that I went around the lip of the lid with a white organza trim and a pink pom pom trim from my stash.  These were light enough that I could use 2 thin lines of the

Best Glue Ever to secure them.  As always, when I finish a project, I use of couple of squirts of the

Best Cleaner Ever on my hands as it is non-toxic and I am good to go!

I hope this upcycle inspires you to try one.  I think anyone would love to get a gift in a decorated box that can be used later for storage.  So get some of the extra boxes you have and the products I mentioned above from ScraPerfect and get crafty.
