Hi and thanks for stopping by! I have a project to share with you today that I created on a Maya Road Wood Pallet. The wood pallets come in a number of different sizes and there are few new sizes being released later this month. I am also giving you a sneak peak at a new die set, Flowers, also releasing soon!

Here I am using the 4" x 4" Wood Pallet. My first step was to add a coat of gesso to the wood and let it dry. Then I simply used distress inks and a blender to add the greens and blues to the wood. Once I was happy is the background color I splattered white paint on the pallet.

Here's a closer look at the new Flowers Die. I cut each flower twice and layered one on top of the other. I created the centers with the dies and Resin Mini Mums in Turquoise Sea. In the center I added a Felt Rose.

I die cut the leaves from felt and added a Feathered Friend Resin Embellishments in Buttermilk. The sentiment is included in the Flowers Die Set. I cut it once from cardstock and once from a light weight chipboard and adhered them together for a little more depth. I finished off the pallet with a few clear sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!

MFT's May Teasers Day 2 - Dare to Dream

Thanks for stopping by for Day 2 of MFT's May Teasers. I am excited to be sharing my project with our new designer's, Mona Pendleton, first stamp set, Dandelion Wishes, and the coordinating Die-namics, Dandelion Stems and Toppers.

One of my daughter's loves journal's so I decided to created her something special from the plain, kraft journal I've had in my stash forever.

Mona's products are described as Mixed Media for the Modern Crafter. I have been watching videos, reading blogs, and collecting a few new products. I love the creative process and am excited to be trying out some new mediums. We will see how it goes! This is my first project I dared put on my blog!

First I cut a piece of Kraft Card Stock to fit the front and the back of the journal. Then I cut a sheet of sticky back canvas and adhered it to the Kraft.

Then I used the new Mini Chicken Wire Stencil to create the pattern on the canvas with distress ink and then added machine stitching with a heavy weight thread around the edge.

I had these wooden embellishment in my stash. I used Black Licorice Ink to sponge on black to the wooden pieces. Then I stamped one of the sentiments from the stamp set.

I used Faber-Castell Gelatos to color my flowers. I layered three colors directly onto the stamp, misted the stamp with water, and stamped on card stock. I used Gesso for the white dots in the center of the flowers.

The leaves are stamped with MFT Ink in Gumdrop Green.

I used Mod Podge to adhere the flowers to the canvas, and then added a light coat of Mod Podge to the front cover. I added a Tim Holtz clock embellishment and black book binding tape.

I decide to go all out and create a tag and wrapping paper. I used the Tag, You’re It Die-namics to cut out the tag. The sentiment is as also included in the stamp set.

Then I stamped the Dandelions and Leaves randomly on kraft paper in Lemon Drop and Gumdrop Green Ink.

And here's the finished package. I love the organic, natural feel.
