Altered Postage Stamps album

Hey there! 

Today I would like to share with you my altered postage stamps album. I am a huge postage stamp fan - I collect them since I was a kid. It's not a serious thing, but a small hobby for me=)

Few weeks ago I ordered a very old album with postage stamps collection. But the album itself was so old, it seems to be produced in 1970's or even earlier.

So I had some fun playing with it and my new mixed media goodies.

There is a video tutorial down below.

List of supplies:

- sprays from Fabrica Decoru:
Aqua Spray Lavender,
Aqua Spray Pineapple fresh,
Metallic Spray Sepia with gold,
Metallic Spray Graphite

- Stencil from Fabrica Decoru

- textured paste from Fabrica Decoru

- embossing powder in purple color

- die cut butterfly

- metallic key

- polymer glue
- metal binding rings, key chain and a binder

Hope you like my project!

Have a great day!

Flower shadow box tutorial. Recycled packaging.

Hey friends! Today I would like to share with you my next project for Mixed Media Warriors blog.

This time I decided to create a custom shadow box. I believe each of us have that one box which isn't good for altering but you can't throw it away somehow=) 

Well, I had this one - it was a packaging of jalousie. So I decided to make something cute of it.

First I wanted to create something colorful and fun, but then I found my Lindy's set and idea changed the same moment!

I have a video tutorial on what I did with it and here is a list of supplies and some pictures.

List of supplies:

- jalousie cardboard packaging

- various flowers from I Am Roses and China

- some cabochons

- resin flowers

- ribbon flowers

- flat back pearls string

- beads

- chipboard butterfly and Be Happy frame

- metal key charm

- punched leaves from Martha Stewart punch

- Lindy's Stamp Gang Moon Shadow mist (Van Dyke Sepia) and Starburst (Salt Water Taffy)

- some acrylic paints

- cotton ivory lace

Here is a short video tutorial and more pictures down below!

Altered plaque as home decor

Hello friends! 

Today I would like to share with you my inspirational video tutorial and some pictures. I love color blue and was so inspired by it! So I created this altered wooden plaque.

I recycle this plaque - it was gifted to me by my scrapbook friend from England, but while our move to a new house it was damaged and most of flowers and embellishments fell off.

So I took the rest of embellishments apart and decided to give it a second life!

In this project I used cotton lace as a hanger, piece of lace applique, some resin cabochons, metal gears and charms. Also here I used my acrylic paint and also I created my own stencil! 

Please watch my video to see the whole process of creating and a small tutorial on how to create your own stencil.

List of supplies:

- wooden plaque

- chipboard from Vezelyk "Happy Family"

- cotton laces (for hanger and small flowers)

- cheesecloth

- metal embellishments

- resin flowers

- metal junk flowers (these were embellishments on my shoes)

- white and blue acrylic paint

- Lindy's Stamp Gang Moonshadow mist
- textured paste from Fabrika Decoru
- synthetic glue "Dragon" (it is for building, not for crafting, but I like it)

And some pictures=)

Thank you for spending your time with us! Have a great day!
