Altered Tin with Spring Gardens Kit with Brandi!!!!

Wednesday, April 22, 2015

Hello everyone!!!  Brandi here today with an altered tin I made using this month's fabulous "Spring Gardens Kit"!

Here's a look:


My husband gave me a hot tea tin he had and I knew it would be a perfect project (so did he!!!). I wrapped the tin with the beautiful papers, then started to embellish!
I used the trim from the kit, one of the wooden frames, a quote from last month's kit, and one of the resin butterflies for the front!

Here's a close-up of the butterfly.  I used ink from a previous kit to add a small amount of color!


I used one of the wooden Kaisercraft balloons and several of the flowers for the top!  I also used ink from past kits to add some color to the all white flowers :-)



 As you can see, I wrapped the trim around the entire tin!


 Here's a view from the top!

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

Altered Frame with this Month's "Out of the Blue" Kit!!!!

Wednesday, March 25, 2015

Hello again crafters!!!  It's Brandi popping in with an altered frame using this month's beautiful kit!

Here's a look at the frame:

As most of you know, my mother passed away last month which has been the cause for my absence over the past few weeks.  I've decided to make some tribute frames for members of our family so I'm sure you'll be seeing her quite a bit in the upcoming months ;-)

I started by covering the frame with one of the beautiful papers from the kits after I painted the simple wooden frame white (Picked up the frame for $1.00 at my local craft store).  I added in my photo, covering it using the silver doily overlay from the add on kit!


I added flowers and embellies from the kit in adjacent corners to add some pizzazz!


I used some of the Ranger blue mist from a previous kit to dye my trim from this kit blue, then added it across the bottom for contrast against the white background!


I finished with a number of the wooden embellishments that were inked using distress ink, then I added a bit of the crackle accents from the kit for added shine!



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

Tuesday, February 10, 2015

Hello everyone!!  It's Brandi here today to share a quick tutorial with you on how to really make your pages stand out!  It works really well on this month's kit with the soft pinks and light hues of the papers and embellies :-)

Here's another look at this month's "Sweet Love" kit:


Yum, yum, yum!!!!  In love with this one!!!

And here's a look at my page:

See how everything just "pops" against the background?!?  Doesn't it look fabulous?!?  Want to know my trick?!?  A sharpie marker!  Yep, it's really that simple!  No mess, no fuss :-)

Here's a little tutorial to show you how to achieve this result :-)









And here are some close-ups:
I LOVE the zipper pulls in this month's kit!  They truly add a touch of elegance to every page!


I even use the sharpie to outline my stickers and die-cuts!  


Using a butterfly punch and papers from the kit, I created 3D butterflies :-)

I used stickers from this month's kit and goodies from past month's kit to create my large flowers cluster under the photo!

And there you have it!

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

Christmas Gift Ideas using Traditions Kit with Brandi!!!

Wednesday, December 17, 2014

Hello there crafty friends!!!! It's Brandi popping in with a quick tutorial on a simple Christmas gift for the holidays!!!!

Here's a look at what I made using this month's "Traditions" kit:


Two very simple wall hangings using a variety of things from the kit!!!!
I started with a bare wood frame and painted it with my desired colors, then went over them with distress crackle paint for some shine!

I measured out my papers and added them to the wood:


I chose my pics, added them to the paper, then embellished with tid bits from the kit and flowers!!!

I cut the holly berry wood pieces and colored them with distress markers, then tucked them behind the flowers!

I fussy cut some of the sayings from the papers to add them as well!



I used the stamp included in the kit and some pigment ink to add the text directly to my photo:

I finished each piece with the twine from the kit using hot glue on the back!!

 And there you have it!!!!  Two Christmas gifts and plenty more left over :-)




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

"Traditions" Kit and Challenge!!!

Saturday, December 6, 2014

Hello there gang and happy December!!!  Yes, the last month of the year has finally snuck up on us which means: new month, new kit, and a new challenge!!!

Here's a look at all the beauty that's included in the "Traditions Kit":


Oh, I just LOVE this time of the year!!!  The beautiful colors are like heaven to my eyes :-)  It also means that I get to take my "altered project making" to a whole new extreme!! Seriously, projects for days!!!

We also have a new challenge for you!!!  Just create ANYTHING you like using ANY Frosted Designs kits (past or current) for your chance to win a prize pack valued at over $30.00 from Scrapmatts!!!!!

Now, here's a look at what I created:

Isn't it a fabulous addition to any holiday room decor?!?!  

Here are some close-ups:
I started by painting the canvas, using painters tape to mask off the areas in between colors.  Once it dried, I chose my favorite "card" from the papers included and adhered it to the canvas.  I cut a frame using my trimmer and some chipboard, then added my desired paper atop of it.  I also added some flowers and one of the metal embellies from the kit :-)  

I love the look of raw wood and especially for this kit!  I just sprayed a little of the Perfect Pearls Gold Shimmer mist from the kit for some shine and left it alone :-)


I finished the piece with several cut up pieces of twine to make this a complete wall hanging!!!


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