Phonograph cigar box using Graphic 45 Communique paper

HI everyone,

I wanted to do a phonograph but didn't want to create a box so I improvised. I took a tutorial from Tarascraftstudios.com and converted into an svg file. Her's was a free wpr or print file so I am providing a FREE version of the svg phonograph file based off of her picture. (please keep it free)

THESE ARE SVG FILES.. need to have the software to open.

I then took a cigar box (small) and unhinged it. used the bottom part only. This i used as the top base.

The bottom base is a complete cigar box resting on TH metal feet. Paper is Graphic 45 communique. Metals for the wheel and holder are TH screws. 

Left for knobs I used a Graphic 45 metal staple. smaller knob is a button painted in black sitting on a pencil eraser with a Graphic 45 small metal staple.

Hope you find great use out of the SVG files. (should send you to three)

Altered Pin Book using Graphic 45 Secret Garden Vintage Lace

Hi Crafters!

I was organizing my craft room and found this Mcgill storage case (flower tools holder) and decided to turn in to a pin book.

Supplies used:
Graphic 45 Secret Garden Fabric
Fabri-Tac
Lace Trim
Felt sheet
foam sheet (can keep using felt sheets i just used foam because i had it)
Vintage lace/fabric trim
Pins

First step was applying fabric Tac to storage case and then placing it down on a quarter fabric of secret garden. I cut out the excess but left enough that it would fold over to hide my edges. I then placed felt on the inside of the case to cover all the foldeded edges again just applying glue to the case and laying down the felt. cutting the excess. (used cutter bee to cut close to the edge)

I then stapled a sheet of folded thin foam (one top and one bottom staple)to my case. (staples are TH very small and stapled to felt not actual case). once that was done I started applying different types of lace trim to get the look I was going for. Once the fabri tac was dry on one side I'd work on the other.

Here is my completed book. Happy Crafting!

Prima Color Bloom Spray WOC Roses Name sign

Hi everyone!

I made this canvas a few weeks ago. Love it.

I used a 5*6 canvas textured it using the art is stencil then sprayed it with Prima's Iris, Cobalt and Teal. 

The wooden letters are from Michaels painted white. The butterflies are recollection butterflies and the roses and WOC roses and a stray i don't know where i got it from. =) (the large blue).

This sign now hangs in my room. Thanks for reading!

Altered ceramic book box

Hi everyone,

So my mother bought one of those ceramic style books they sell at Ross for 5.99 and she wanted me to alter it. (it had ships painted on).

What i did to start is I gesso'd the front, back and sides of the book. Then I spot measured some paper from DCWV lace and linen collection and added it to the front, back and side. 

I took a script stamp from inkadinkado and inked it with TH vintage photo. The edges and sides are laced up using lace trim and the side panel has a wider bridal lace trim.

The flower are all WOC roses and butterflies used are memory box dies viviene and darla i think.

The sentiment is from Bo Bunny. Love the way it came out. Thanks for reading!

Altered Bottle using Magnolia Tilda n Lace

Hi Everyone,

I have joined facebook and have become part of some amazing groups! This is an altered bottle swap I entered in 4G's (Girls, Giggles, Glitter & Glue).

The original bottle is a blue halloween bottle from Joanns. I wiped it with a napkin and gesso(so it wouldn't be bright blue)

 then I covered the bottle with 6 inch wide bridal lace.n added a rose applique to go around the bottle. some different types of smaller lace to go from the bottom of the neck to the top. The bottle is covered by a cork stopper which i glued a shabby pink chiffon flower.

Roses used are always WOC. Magnolia Tilda colored with copics. Lalaland hearts banner die and a Bo Bunny noteworthy inspire tag.I finished the bottle by adding a 5 inch wide pink lace draped like a scarf.

Thank you and I hope my swap partner likes it!
