Altered Paper Mache Book Box

Hi everyone! I want to share the altered book box that I just completed!

You can find the kit to do this at Pinque Peacock's Crafty Kit Club

This is the July kit and I purchased the Soft and Shabby

The only thing I added from my own stash was the metal flower and large pearl. You can find both of those items at Miriam's Crafting Supplies    I also used Antique Matte Mod Podge which is not included in the kit.

I started by wadding up the tissue paper in the kit because I wanted the book to have that shabby look. I used mod podge to attach it. When it dried I mixed the 2 colors of paint in my kit to get this pinkish color then just did random brushes of paint to get the look I wanted. On the spine I just used the gold tissue paper and mod podge.          

 The inside I finished the lid the same way then tore sheets of the paper and inked the edges in gold and attached those. I used the gold paper in the kit for the bottom and 2 long sides the cut strips from a pattered paper in the kit for the 2 short sides.
I have to say Jessica at Pinque Peacock did an amazing job putting this kit together!! I even had product left over! I totally loved working with this kit :)

Now here is a pic of the kit and a list of what comes in it!!

Life is a Journey

Hi everyone! It is my day to post on the

  Pinque Peacock Challenge Blog! as well as the
Design Blog

I have decided to do a birthday card for a very special person in my life.

Here it is :)

I started with a standard heavy weight card stock and scored it so I could create the easel.

Then cut and added some print card stock from Prima and it is called free spirit.

I love the colors and prints.

Then I pulled out my Pinque Peacock Flower and pin stash. I found the perfect flower from Pinque Peacock and it is a Fabric Splendid Swirl with a center embellishment. It just went perfect with the papers.

The beautiful Pin is Pinque Peacock too of course!! It is one of the beaded stick pins. Now I don't know if Jessica can still create that exact one but she has beautiful beads and can create one of your choice!!!

All of the resin cameos and other embellishments are from Websters Pages. The trim is unknown.

I also used a piece of a doily, a cats eye ink pad and 2 wood banners. All unknown.

Life is definitely a journey and I hope you all have a fabulous one.

Imagine with Pinque Peacock

Hello it is my day to post for Pinque Peacock. I will be posting on the Design Blog

 and on the Challenge Blog!! The challenge this month is anything goes!!

I decided to pull out a a chip board decorative bird house and give it a shot! So here is the first pic

I used a few great Pinque Peacock items on this project as well as a lot of paint, paper. and modge podge!

It was one hot mess that overflowed from the craft room to the kitchen! Oh we can't forget that beautiful 

3 Girl Jam Ribbon.

Here are a few close ups of the fabulous Pinque Peacock items!

I used a large fabric covered button in a purple print. A beautiful Pink Pearl Stick Pin,

A Fabric Splendid Swirl and this one is from the cute baby collection that Jessica made!

I also used a beautiful Yellow Pleated Petal.

Here is a close up of the top.

I love the beauty in nature so this project was a pleasure to do. It is so easy to incorporate the amazing Pinque Peacock products into my projects

Come and join the Anything Goes Challenge!!!!

Smile with Pinque Peacock

Hi everyone! Today I am posting for Pinque Peacock!!

The theme is anything goes :) Well I love to make cards. So I have 2 to share with you today. Here is the first one.

I bet you can see the perfect Pinque Peacock items on this card!

We have a Layered Garden Beauty that was just the perfect addition to this card. We also have that beautiful light blue Pearl stick pin. The blue and green bling in the corners are also from the Pinque Peacock shop!!!!! 

Now the 2nd card I used the tag I made for the tag challenge at the Pinque Peacock Challenge Blog.

Do you spy the cute purple pearl and butterfly pin?

I also used a couple of the Viva glitter and a pearl pen also available at Pinque Peacock!

Thank-you for dropping by today!! 

Happy crafting :)

Secret Garden Tag with Pinque Peacock

Hi everyone! Today I am posting a tag for a challenge going on over at the

 Pinque Peacock Challenge Blog

Now tags are not my thing and I went crazy trying to do this one!

You know that saying Go Big or go go Home? Well it does not work on a tag.

Thinking about my Mom and the wonderful Secret Garden she planted every year for her Grandchildren finally gave me the inspiration for this tag.

 I found this beautiful Graphic 45 Secret Garden Collection in my paper stash.

The sentiment card is from the same collection. Then I pulled out my Pinque Peacock stash

and found the beautiful purple butterfly pin and presto it got the creative juices flowing!!
Instead of using a standard round hole for the twine or ribbon to go through I covered it with the metal flower and strung the ribbon through the flower and pearl.  The small purple flowers are prima and the centers are butter cup liquid pearl glue. I don't know where I got the rose ribbon. Like most paper crafters I am a hoarder!!! LOL I totally enjoyed this tag making experience after I got inspired!

Come and join the challenge!!!!!

Crafty Kit Club at Pinque Peacock

Hi my crafty friends!!! I am posting for Pinque Peacock's

Crafty Kit Club

I am back with my second project from the May Kit

which is all about beading and jewelry.

The kit came with a nice clamp ring so I decided to turn it into a key ring.

99% of what you see was in the kit! Now I did add the ribbon and the one small

blue dangle. The first 2 longer strands I used just a standard bead thread wire. It made stringing those beautiful seed beads a breeze!!! Now remember I am still using the same kit that the charm bracelet from my post on the 17th came from so that tells you how much fabulous product is in each kit!!!
Here is the link again to the Crafty Kit Club

These kits are a great gift idea too if you have a crafty friend or family member!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Hi Everyone!!! Today I am posting for Pinque Peacocks

Crafty Kit Club

I am working with the 

Now there are a couple different kits available and everything you need is in the kit!! 

Here is a picture of my first project.

I did the charm bracelet first and it was alot of fun to play with!! The charm bracelet is easy to adjust to fit your wrists by just removing links. I re-purposed  some of the links to make the center charm hand down further. The 2 beaded dangles I put together using only items from the kit and a little quick drying glue.

This kit is so easy to use and would make a great gift for someone too!!
Go grab yourself one of the great may kits and have fun with it!!!

Look at all of those beautiful Pinque Peacock Blooms.

Love those little layered garden beauties and one of my favorite blooms the Fabric Splendid Swirls I tossed on a few Prima blooms as accents. The base is a hot pink cardstock and the striped paper I tore at angles just to give it a little color :) I can't tell you which brand of papers they are because it came from my hoarded paper stock!!! If you are a paper crafter I bet you have done a little hoarding!!

I love that little chalkboard too! I used a chalk marker to write the love blooms title. These are older photos of my fav people in the whole world!

Crafty Happiness!

Hello fellow crafters :)

I have been trying to branch out of my crafting comfort zone and this is another one of my firsts.

I decided to make a shadow box of my favorite crafty embellishments.

 

 

Now for the life of me I could not get the yellow cast off of the photo. My lighting is bad in my apartment and the weather is not good for an outdoor pic.

I started with a craft colored shadow box and painted it brown. I then used a prima cardstock and placed it in the back of the squares. I then used burlap and placed it over the cardstock.

Next in the upper left square I used 2 metal corners from Miriams Crafting supplies. I then took a beautiful Stick Pin from Pinque Peacock and turned it into a dragonfly using my favorite twine. (Trendy Twine). Now in the upper right square I used a wishing well from Prima. My grass is ribbon from 3 Girl JAM and the cute cardinal  is from a purchase from Blitzy.

The lower left is a beautiful bloom from Pinque Peacock. I then added a burlap button and butterfly pin and both are Pinque Peacock! The lower right is all prima and websters pages.

These are all things that make me happy:)

I love watching dragonflies, butterflies and birds. I love the old fashioned wells and have always wanted one. I love flowers of all kinds and Pinque Peacock is a joy to work with. The cameo holds my favorite saying. Now to get some of the beautiful flowers, buttons and stick pens head over to pinque peacock!!!!

Now before we get to the prize and how you can win it here is a pic of my Easter Card!

 I decided to do a Easter easel card. I started with a robins egg blue card stock in standard 8.5 by11 and folded it in half. Then you fold the top in half again. I always lay the card back down after folding into the standard half fold to embellish. You want it to look good laying down as well as in the easel position. I then cut a scalloped oval in hot pink and embossed it. When you adhere the oval you want to only glue the lower half down so that it can pop up in the easel position. Next I did an Easter cut with my cameo of that adorable bunny. I used pop dots to fasten it to the oval. Next I used 2 wooden eggs that were put out by Prima a few years ago. I know all the stampers will cringe about this but I used Spectrum Noir markers to color the eggs then added some shimmer glitter and let that dry. After it dried I then gave the eggs a coat of modge podge and allowed that to air dry. I then used left over pieces of card stock to adhere to the back side of the eggs. The Spectrum Noir Markers are available at Pinque Peacock. All products from Pinque Peacock will be linked to the location on the Pinque Peacock Store Page for your shopping convenience :)

I also added 2 cute butterfly beads to the oval. Before attaching the eggs I made paper corners and attached those to the lower 2 corners. Now after the top was finished and dry I got to work on the inside. All the papers are from a doodlebug designs 6x6 pad called Hello Spring. I started the inside by attaching the paper just like it was a half fold card. The only difference is the greeting is at the bottom of the page instead of the standard top position. I then added the beautiful blue Fabric Splendid Swirl as an eye catching anchor to hold the easel in place. The adorable

 blue butterfly stick pin is also from Pinque Peacock. Well there is the low down on my Easter card:) Next you will be going to Julie's Blog

Capture Joy

Capture Joy

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today I am posting for Pinque Peacock 

My project today is totally different for me and my first time doing a altered box.

I will be doing more though because it is a lot of fun!!! I started with a cute Heart Box from

 Pinque Peacock

I painted it with acrylic paint in a pretty fuchsia color then I stamped the hummingbird using a pearl acrylic paint instead of ink. I used the cute little capture joy stamp that came with the humming bird and stamped it in black ink. Now here is the pic and then we go into more details :)

Now you have a great view of the Pinque Peacock Pleated Petal, Cute Button, and of course that fabulous Pin!!!!! The beautiful metal corner is from Miriams Crafting Supplies and that Metal Heart that is layered onto the tip of the heart is from Pinque Peacock. The cream pearls are from my stash and the teal bling is my old friend Stickles Glitter Glue.

Thank-you for stopping in today and please stop in and say hi on my blog!!!!

Here is the card then I will tell you where to find the great embellishments on my card!

 

The cute little flowers are Pinque Peacock Layered garden beauties some are 2 layers of felt and some are fabric and felt. Now remember that you can put in a fabric or color request! Jessica will always do what she can to make you a happy customer!!!
