GO ARMY!!

Hello beautiful Want2Scrap friends!! 

I have brought out a bit of my patriotic side today. I come from a military family. So, with my daughter and nephew currently serving in our great country's military, I decided to do an army themed greeting card. I myself am a Navy veteran, but I won't hold that against the youngsters...lol.

I started with a craft colored 5" x 5" card. I cut and distressed the edges of slightly smaller pieces of designer paper in a camouflage and map print. I glued these papers one on top of the other. Coffee dyed lace and trims were used to add dimension and flare.

Want2Scrap Swirls - Black Rhinestones were used as a pleasing accent to the Army chipboard word, that is painted black and sealed using two coats of Mod Podge. The chipboard was glued to its final location using dimensionals.

I accented a small vintage tag from my personal stash using Want2Scrap Sleek Strips 12" - Rhinestones Iridescent. The vintage tag is tucked behind the Army chipboard word. The back side of it is blank to add a special note for my soldier.

I finished by adding Sleek Strips 12" - Rhinestones Iridescent below the Army Chipboard word, on top of some of the trim. I hope you enjoyed this little piece of patriotic heaven.

HAPPY CRAFTING!!

Altered Bottle

Hello Want2Scrap friends, Lovita here!!

Today I have for you an awesomely altered wine bottle!

I started with a clean, empty wine bottle. I did not remove the bottle labels. I began by covering the exposed area of the glass with lace applique from my personal stash. I adhered it to the glass using Beacon Fabri-Tac glue. This glue is awesome for permanently adhering items to glass. I used Want2Scrap chipboard embellishments Style A, Stylish Key, Fleur de Lis and a Vintage Fancy Frame and painted them with Color Box Mix'd Media Inx - Leather using the Ranger Mini Ink Blending Tool. The painted pieces were sealed using Mod Podge - Satin. 

The Fleur de Lis and Vintage Fancy Frame chipboard items were glued to the bottle using Beacon Fabri-Tac glue. I bore a hole in the top of the cork large enough for part of the Style A chipboard bottom to fit inside snugly. It was then attached permanently using hot glue. The cork is wrapped with rhinestone chain. Jute twine is used as an accent on the Vintage Fancy Frame and wrapped around the top of the bottle opening with a little White Frizzly Yarn. 

 Want2Scrap Bulk Bling Pearls, 12" Sleek Strips Pearls and Swirls Finesse Pearls were used in the LeCreme color. The 12" Sleek Strips were placed around the perimeter of the label on the rear of the bottle and on the Stylish Key. I placed one Bulk Bling Pearl on the front and back of Style A chipboard embellishment. The Swirls Finesse and Bulk Bling Pearls were added to the Vintage Fancy Frame. Finally green flowers and turquoise mini roses were glued to the Vintage  Fancy Frame, Fleur de Lis and the rim of the bottle opening just above the Stylish Key.

HAPPY CRAFTING!

Sweet Chipboard Dress Card

Candy here and today I am sharing my Sweet Chipboard Dress Card featuring the cute Dress Chipboard Embellishment. I added a Yellow Enamel Dot and a Turquoise Enamel Dot to each corner of the 6" x 6" card, which coordinates with the design paper and ephemera from the Echo Park Girls Petticoats and Pinstripes Collection.

The Turquoise Rhinestones Nestabling Petite Scalloped Circle Sm that I used on this card has been discontinued by Want2Scrap, but the same look could be achieved by adhering Turquoise Rhinestones in a circle around the sentiment.

I painted the Dress Chipboard Embellishment with Gesso before applying the Pink Flambe Nuvo Mousse. I then embellished the dress with Purple Sleek Strips 12" Rhinestones, cutting to fit as needed around the neckline, and 72 Count - Purple Rhinestones along the hem of the dress.

The Dress Chipboard Embellishments are perfect to create cards for baby girls, birthdays or you can decorate the dress to fit any occasion.  Have a great day!
