Butterfly Shaker

Hello friends! It has been a very busy two weeks for me. There are so much going on between the Chinese New year celebrations and family health issues. At least now, I can sit down and do a little blogging to share a project with you all. 

Today, I would like to share a fun butterfly shaker with you all. I used Clear Scraps butterfly shaker to create this. It is so fun and easy to assemble and decorate this shaker. A perfect decoration for this coming Spring.

I used pattern papers by BoBunny to decorate it and added some sequins in it. I hope you all like today's project and see you all again soon! Thanks for dropping by!

It is the time for the year for me to celebrate with my family and friends! I wish all of you a prosperous and wonderful Chinese New Year!!! Enjoy the holidays and eat a lot of yummy food!

Valentine Altered Tri-Fold Frame

Hello friends! Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I would like to share this Valentine's themed project with you all. This is an acrylic tri-fold frame. I've used Clear Scraps acrylic tri-fold frame and decorate it.

This tri-fold frame can be displayed as above in your home or it can also be make into a triangular display around a vase or bottle of champagne.

Here are some closer picture of each frame.

I've decorated each frame with pattern papers by Graphic 45. For more details, I've used some stencils by Clear Scraps to create design and layers on it. The chipboard frame by Clear Scraps adds great dimension to my first frame.

To create some soft dimensional element on this second frame, I've used several Petaloo gorgeous flowers in different sizes.

By adding some lace and more flowers to it, this tri-fold frame turns out to be a soft, feminine and romantic looking home decor. It is just perfect for this Valentine's month. Hope you all like this project and see you all again soon!

Dream Altered Box

Hi friends! Today, I'm going to share with you all a very old project of mine. This is a project featuring tons of old Tim Holtz products. I've used a bare box and altered it using inks, stamps and distressing.

I've taught this project in some workshops in the past. Below are more details in it.

There are tons of mixed media techniques used on this project. For textures, I've used grungeboard, crackle paste, glossy accents, twine, lace, ribbon, embossing and Stickles.

For more dimensions, I've decorate this box with dimensional flowers, acrylic pieces and metal embellishment.

I've had so much fun teaching this workshop in the past. Hope you all find this project inspiring! Have a great weekend!
