July's "Enchanted" Kit Challenge!!!

Saturday, July 5, 2014

Hello there everyone!!!! For all my American crafters, I hope you had a fabulous (and safe) 4th of July!!!!

It's a brand new month and a brand new kit!!! That means another opportunity to win a fabulous prize by playing along in our monthly kit challenge!! Here's a look at all this yumminess from this month's kit:

Can I say fabulous?!? Seriously... In love with these papers!!!! As with all of our kit challenges, all you need to do is create a project, ANY TYPE OF PROJECT, using ANY Frosted Designs kit and share it with us here, or on our Facebook page! It's that easy!!! At the end of the month, we will randomly draw a winner for that month's prize!!!

Speaking of prizes, this month we have a fabulous one lined up from our friends over at Scor Pal!!!!!!

Scor Pal will be providing a surprise Magnolia Package to one lucky participant of this month's kit challenge!!!! Stop by their site for all their fabulous projects perfect for all your crafting needs!!!!

Now onto my project... I found this fabulous key cabinet at an outlet store and decided to give it a makeover! Here's my finished piece:

Isn't it darling?!? I just LOVE the colors!!!!

I started by coating the entire cabinet with gesso, then applying a heavy coat of the Distress Crackle paint for color. Once that dried, I added some Smooch Accent in Sundance from the store for some shimmer and added contrast!

I cut up some of the beautiful paper in one inch strips and inked the edges with the Prima chalk in "teal damask" included in the kit! I added them to the cabinet using some mod-podge and began to embellish! I grabbed the tiny Petaloo flowers and added them around in various areas, adding some pearl spray behind them. I clear embossed two of the butterfly stamps using the Prima ink, then colored them in with the same Smooch ink mentioned above :-)

I wanted a small cluster in the bottom right corner so I added a couple flowers from the kit and store, and some other embellies from the kit! The resin clock was colored using Lindy's Starburst spray in Tibetan Poppy Teal, then coated with gesso, Prima ink, and some of the distress paint. I added some Smooch to the Maya Road vintage scissors and added them to the cluster as well!

I used other papers from the kit to decorate the box, inking all the edges with the chalk ink!

To finish the cabinet, I grabbed papers from this kit, and paper from the Beauty of Nature kit, and adhered them to the inside with mod podge! I hung one of the keys from the kit just for show ;-)

And there you have it!!! Just one of many ways you can use your kit! We have a BRAND NEW Kit Team lined up with some fabulous inspiration this month so stay tuned!!!!!

So what are you waiting for?!? You have until noon, August the 3rd to submit your projects!!!!

Well gang... Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

Happy Scrapping!

Frosted Designs June "Capture The Moment" Kit Challenge!!!!

Thursday, June 5, 2014

It's the 5th of the month which means a BRAND NEW KIT CHALLENGE!!!! This month's "Capture the Moment" kit is gorgeous, to say the least!!!!

The Prima "Time Traveler" Collection is featured in this fabulous array of papers, brads, flair, trim, and much, MUCH more!!!! I couldn't wait to sit down and create something fabulous!!!

I've had this 7Gypsies chipboard house lying around for quite sometime that I FINALLY got around to once I received these wonderful goodies!!!

Here's a look:

Isn't it adorable?!? And the papers are so versatile that I created two different looks for the front and back!

I started my "house" by adding various papers, inking them heavily with various distress inks. I chose the photos I wanted then added them inside the precut squares. I grabbed some flowers and some of the embellishments and got to work decorating my "house!!! Hahaha!!!!

For the center piece on each side, I used contrasting papers from the side panels to make it stand out a bit! I used several of the Prima ATC cards and tags, as well as the library cards for embellishing!

The burlap butterflies and flowers are darling and definitely had to be included here!

I have always been of fan of Liquid Pearls and am soooo happy they were included in this month's kit!!! They add just the right amount of detail to any type of project! You can also use them to create bling swirls with a bit of acetate and a template!

For the back, I wanted something more "elegant" looking because I wanted photos of me and my husband!!! I chose to use the blacks and whites for this side as well as B&W photographs!

As you can see, I used more of the ATC cards on the back, also heavily inked with Distress Inks (Walnut Stain and Black Soot). I added some tickets, flowers, brads and flair to dress things up!

I LOVE the Prima Trim included also and used it to tie my bows through the holes on the sides that connect all the pieces (I punched them with my Crop A Dile!).

The stencil included in the kit is fabulous and is great for adding some depth to your background! You can do a little, or a lot! I used the postal stamp portion for this and also the vertical lines.

I used more of my homemade bling and added a couple more flowers!

I finished the house with the clear Prima stickers included in the kit!!!!

I truly LOVE this project and am very glad I finally got to it!!! This will be on display in my house for a very long time :-)

Next up is card I made using the scraps left over from my little house! Like I said... LOVE this kit!!!

Here's a look at the card:

I think this would be a wonderful card to give to my hubby (hint*)!!!! I love how the liquid pearls add a masculine touch to the card!!!

I used the maroon shaded paper as my base, then layered some of the black and white papers atop of it! I grabbed another of those darling ATC cards and used it as my sentiment piece!

I have these little clock die-cuts I made with my die-cutting machine that I misted with the Perfect Pearls spray and inked with distress ink. I topped it off with liquid pearls!!!

I tucked one of the tags from the kit behind my ATC card and embellished it with more liquid pearls!!! I also added a pice of flair that matched the base paper!

I finished the card with a bunch of various flowers and dabs of liquid pearls here and there!!!

There you have it!!! Two fabulous projects with one AMAZING kit!!!!

Now it's your turn to show us what you got!!!! Since we had such a fabulous turn out with last month's kit challenge, we decided to keep the same challenge for this month!!! ANYTHING GOES as long as you use this month's kit (or any previous FD kit) to create something!!!! Upload your entry right here for your chance to win a fabulous prize from The Olde Saltbox!!!!

May's "Simply Sweet" Kit Challenge!!!

Monday, May 5, 2014

Hello everyone!!! Can you believe we are already in May?!? This year is flying by!!! Speaking of May... Have you seen this month's "Simply Sweet" kit?!? It's GORGEOUS!!!! Beautiful Heidi Swapp pattern papers, Prima flowers, stencil, trim, and so much more!!!

I've created a few projects using the May kit AND previous kits to show you just how versatile Frosted Designs monthly kits truly are!!!

Okay... Now about this month's challenge. We've decided to switch things up a bit to give YOU the opportunity to play along AND use what you want!!! This month, you can create ANY TYPE OF PROJECT using ANY FROSTED DESIGNS KIT you have!!!! That's right... You're NOT limited to just this kit (although it's beautiful!!). We just want to see what YOU create with all those goodies you've received over the months!!

We would like to welcome back Dies R Us as this month's sponsor for the kit challenge!!!

Dies R Us has graciously offered up a $10.00 gift certificate to their online store FULL of dies for all your die-cutting machines!!! They carry brands like Penny Black, Impression Obsession, Spellbinders, and much, much more!!! Stop by their amazing site to browse all their amazing selections!!!

So... As I said... I've made a few things to share with you.

My first project is a banner I created as a Mother's day gift to myself showcasing my beautiful girls!! I used ONLY this month's kit for this project:

I fell in love with these kraft tags as soon as I saw them!!! They're perfect for cards, pages, and, well, a banner!!!

I started by inking the edges of the tag with the Prima ink included in this kit. Then I added some of the pattern papers behind them, adding ink to the edges as well!

I cut the Prima sticker doily into two pieces and added those to different tags!

I also added one of the metal bird charms to the first tag... Those pieces are so adorable!

I used the Glimmer Glaze in the kit to create a mist, then sprayed one of the wooden pieces with it, and added little paint pearls around the edges!

I finished the banner by adding little paint pearls around the edges and under words for added detail :-)

Next on the list is a card I created using only this kit as well. The papers are very soft and pretty and perfect for a friendship or Mother's Day card!

Here's a look: (Sketch by Brenda Ragsdale!)

I started by creating a 6x6 card base using Kraft core distressed cardstock (LOVE this stuff!) and adding various pattern papers. I used the Prima ink to distress all the edges for contrast!

I fussy cut out the banner and colored it with various Spectrum Noir markers, and added small white dots with the White Uniball Pen in store.

I used a butterfly punch to add butterflies around the card, using the papers from the kit! I topped them off with paint pearls using the Viva Paper Pen included in the kit as well!

I finished the cards with a sentiment stamp and some bling!

A "Simply Sweet" friendship or Mother's Day card!

Last up... A small wood plaque I've had in my stash for over a year!!! I LOVE the stencil included in this month's kit and wanted to put it on something to hang :-)

For this project, I used this kit AND previous kits to create my desired piece!

I started by painting the plaque with the Tim Holtz paint dabber from the "Shades of Spring" kit, then added a thin coat of the African Jade Luminarte Silks Glaze from "A Moment in Time" kit for some shimmer! I used the Viva Paper Pen in this month's kit and a foam brush to go over the stencil. This paint dries raised and shiny!! LOVE IT!!!!

I colored some molding paste with the Bells of Ireland Green Magical included in the "Beauty of Nature" kit and went over the stem of the flower on the stencil. Then, I mixed up some of the glimmer glaze in this month's kit with the molding paste to add the top part of the flower!

I used flowers from the store and "A Moment in Time" kit to add to the top and bottom of the piece.

Lastly, I used the same mixture as the flower to stencil over the butterfly!

Another simple, yet sweet project using various kits!!!!

See how easy that is?!? By combining kits, or using them alone, you can create all sorts of projects!!! Mother's Day is just around the corner and Frosted Design's Kits are FABULOUS for creating amazing projects for your loved ones!!!
