Rooted in Nature Faux Silk Tutorial

Posted on by

I started this project a while back and got side tracked. Does that ever happen to you? That being said, I’m not admitting to my stack of half finished projects  anything. LOL!

Well the good news is I finally finished it and love the way it turned out so I wanted to share it with you today.

What do you think? Can you see your favorite autumn photo in it? The color is a bit late here in this neck of the state so I haven’t gotten many pictures yet, but hope too still if the rain doesn’t wash things out.

This frame looks like it took along time and is complicated, but really isn’t difficult to do with a few basic supplies. The frame itself is one of those inexpensive $1 frames you can find at your local Walmart or craft store.

Here is a video tutorial for you showing you how I made it. This video is a bit longer than I normally do so I hope you enjoy it.

And here is a companion PDF tutorial for you with a complete supply list that includes step by step directions on how I made the focal point.

Sitting Pretty

Posted on by

Have you seen the Sitting Pretty bundle found in the Annual Catalog? This set is really cool since it has all kinds of pieces and the little dog is hard to resist, especially if you are a UGA fan. LOL!

Check out these lovely cards using this set

This first card creates a wonderful background simply by using our Pattern Party Decorative Masks (144103) and sponging. The heat embossed gold bench (109129) and Gold Metallic Edge Ribbon (144146) gives it a touch of elegance.

And this card uses embossing to add a bit of wow factor

Can you see the texture on the rock floor? This floor was created with one of our new Pretty Park Framelits dies and our Big Shot Embossing Mats pads found on page 221 of the 2018 Annual Catalog.

So what do you think? Why not leave me a comment and let me know?

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some of the wonderful swaps from my team members.
