Live in the Sun mini album with BoBunny

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here today and I am going to share a hand made fabric album made with a new and delicious Summer Mood BoBunny  collection.
Usually I don't make a lot of mini albums. It is time consuming and I don't have so many family photos to fill the whole album.
So this fabric album base was done a couple of years ago and was waiting for a nice paper collection to fit the fabric cover. More than this it was waiting (and still is waiting ) for my dear grand kids Summer photos.
So as it's without any photos I just added matting for the future photos to be added there. Some day. Maybe. Or maybe not.
Here is the album front.
I used BoBunny Ornate chipboard frame, but I trimmed it a bit to be over the album cover. As this collection has some black pieces and prints I painted it with black acrylic paint.
Then a few cardstock pieces were added inside the frame.
Another cardstock piece was die cut to be higher layer and the pink doe cut doily was added as another layer.
I finished with layered chipboard from this new collection as a title.

 This is how this album looks from the top side.

 For more embellishments two painted wooden birdcages were added on the top.

The BoBunny flowers cluster was added on the lower corner and embellished with jewels.
Some Combo Stickers were added over the frame as the sub- title.

 And here are the inside pages with mattings ready for the photos.
 I really tried to keep the as flat as possible as the album size was already given and I can't add too much layers inside the pages.
All pages were made in the similar way- one photo , some stickers some washi tape added to connect the cardstock pieces and some sayings around.

Create Mixed Media wooden frame

This is my first new project for 2018 that was made not for any Design team.

Collect Beautiful Moments shadow box with Penelope collection

Hello my dear crafty friends! Irit is here today and I welcome you to my new craft tutorial made with a video tutorial.

Shadow box with Irit Shalom

 This shadow box is very easy to make and it can be used as a real gift box or as a gift card holder or even as a photo frame.
Just make one or many with the most gorgeous BoBunny new released Penelope collection as as you can see this project has no Mixed Media products or hard to get ones. On the other hand even if you only have this paper collection and a few BoBunny embellishments you can make this beauty in a really short time.
This is how it looks when opened:

 One side is just the embellished side and it should be pretty flat if you want to close the box after all.
The  deep box side is embellished just a bit as we want it to be ready for the small gift or photo or whatever you wish to add inside.

 As you can see the left inside has some depth, but not too much.

 The box right side has the space for anything  you want to add  inside.

 Here is another close- up to the left box side.
I used wooden heart shape, some hand cut from the cardstock flowers and a couple of die cut pieces (the parts of the larger die cut frame from Ever after cards dies.

 The cover was embellished with the same hand cut flowers, die cut leaves and some paper and fabric flowers with the add on of the wooden birdcage and some rhinestones.

You can see all steps on this video link HERE:

And also the products list was added to the video, I add it here again  for the easier  future use.
BoBunny products used to make this project:
Penelope collection 12*12'' cardstock: Moments, Abbey, Grace, Laugh, Live
Ever After card dies
Lovely Leaf dies
Double Dot Aqua jewels
Double Dot Emerald jewels
Licorice jewels
Heart wood shapes
Birdcage wood shapes

Thanks for being here with me today and for watching my video. I am still on my learning curve, but I think it's easy to understand tutorial and hope you would try to make the similar project some day.

Everyone is unique with Magenta

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here today and I am going to share my small stamped altered wooden box.

This is actually a package I used from BoBunny wooden shapes and it's totally perfect to be altered with small stamps and a sentiment.
First the box was painted with simple acrylic paint.
Then I stamped one single stamp with three women images and hand cut them. The images were stamped over Magenta patterned paper, so there was totally no need for any coloring inside the images.
I stamped using black pigmented ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.

Two  sheets of Magenta cardstock was used from both sides.
First I made the purple square matting to fit each square box spot. Then I die cut some small doilies to make the second layer in each box. The stamped image were glued with 3d foam glue in three spots of the box.
Magenta sentiment I wanted to use here was perfect, but too big for the last square inside the box. So I cut the author's name and the upper word " always" and it's still the best sentiment that fits three different women's images. It just means that nobody is unique and everyone is pretty much unique after all.
The box was embellished on the corner with a cluster made from silk and paper flowers with  die cut from the same paper leaves and one more flower was added over the upper right stamped face.

 
This last photo was made to show the depth of the box and the 3d effect.

Dream Travel altered printers tray with BoBunny

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here and today I am going to share my altered wooden printers tray that I made with BoBunny new and most gorgeous Penelope collection.

This 12*12'' wooden tray was already embellished once and was dirty white.
I decided to make the new tray as my small tribute to our trips to some not so known countries and the first step was to paint it to dark brown with the touch of gold.
I used Pentart Primer for Decor paint as the first layer and then painted with brown Decor paint and added some top touches of Creamy Acrylic Baroque Gold and now the tray was ready to be embellished.
The printers tray is a kind of Project Life blank canvas. So I decided to make " a page" from out trip to Albania.
I am not going to tell you a story of this small and unknown and still deeply communist county, but just to show our own photos and a bit of the country around.
The colors of Penelope collection where just the perfect fit to my photos that were mainly natural, blue and green.
Each cardstock piece was cut to fit the tray slot and then embellished with die cuts, hand cuts, wooden shapes, flowers and rhinestones.
Here are some close- ups to the slots:

As you can see  I also embellished over the tray to add more interest and more texture to the simple designs of the slots.

 All wooden and chipboard shapes were painted with the same Baroque Gold Acrylic paint.

Small die cuts were added as  the extra over the tray embellishments.

 Here you can see the depth of the tray and the imperfect painting inside the tray that was made in purpose to imitate the old wood.

 BoBunny flowers and die cuts made the most beautiful edge spot on the whole tray.
Here is the full BoBunny and Pentart long product list:

Imagine the art world altered canvas with Art Anthology

Hello my dear crafty friends! Irit is here today and my project is actually a small tribute to my love of arts and as you can see from the project it's not just fine arts, but everything art related. On this wall decoration I made a collage of all possible arts and you can find ballet, music, fine arts, movies and theatre that all together make this imaginative project. I used canvas as my base and then arranged the collage using chipboards, wooden piece, clay pieces and all together was painted and misted with Art Anthology products.

  As always I made the full step by step tutorial for you to follow HERE: Check out How to Make All You Need Is Art Canvas by Art Anthology on Snapguide.

 And here is a full Art Anthology products list: Scale stencil  Squared stencil Cayman Sorbet Orchide Velvet Cameo Sorbet Fiji Velvet Wisteria Sorbet Rose Velvet Vegas Gold Sorbet Wild Orchid Colorations spray


As you can see it's just an inspirational project. You can make it with other items as your own tribute to arts. On the other hand it can be done as a tribute to sports, nature, technology or whatever topic you choose. Hope you  liked my wall deco and see you next month with more Art Anthology inspiration!
 

BoBunny Media post: painted wooden coasters

Hello my dear crafty friends!

Today I am going to share my  " no paper" BoBunny and Pentart project.

This time I made a set of wooden altered coasters using 6 different Pentart paints that were diluted with water to give the wood this wash paint effect.

Then I stamped over the box and each piece with black pigmented ink, 3 different BoBunny stamp sets and heat embossed each stamped image with black embossing powder.

Later the stamped images were painted with new Delicate Gold Pentart paint.

This is a project that is easy to make and fun to use!

Grunge set of 4 ATC

ATC cards are fun and I really love to make them.
So those  small grungy cards I made were made for some web challenges.

Backgrounds were made with texture paste, stencils (Scrapmatts), embossing powders, stamping (BoBunny), heat embossing and misting.
Then I added chipboards (Scrapmatts) painted with acylics (Pentart) and clay casted pieces. Everytning was painted again over and over with Pentart paints. Crackle paste was added over some pieces and Scrapmatts words were glued to make it count as real ATC cards.
Here are all ATC shown one by one:

I enter this to some web challenges:
Mixed Media and Art- small art and architecture- all pieces are small and two are connected to architecture


Simon Says Monday challenge- Touchy feely- texture and more texture
Words and Paitery- colors, rust, love (love for grunge, steampunk and ATC)

Mixed Media Monthly- #28 Rusty challenge

Altered Steampunk tag

It seams that this month I have plenty spare time , so I made this tag just for some web challenges.
 Masculine for Simon Says Monday challenge blog
First it is made with 7 Dots paper and stickers for their Dream challenge.


Then I made it also for Mixed Media and Art blog for the inspiration challenge and it should be small art piece as it is.

Anything not cute for Dream in Darkness

I like the saying that I made with mostly 7Dots stickers (parts of different ones) and just added a few sticker letters to make this statement:
Magical dream or you're strong enough to take a challenge and to fly? As you can see if pigs can fly- we sure can!
