Practical Scrappers-Doilies

Hi Krafters!

It has been so long since I posted a project on my blog. I have been some projects here and there, but not as many as I would like. I will be sharing some of the other projects made in the near future!

Today, I am sharing a project for Practical Scrappers. It is all about doilies. Doilies add that extra elegance to a project. However, they can add texture as well! Don't sleep on the doily!!

For this project, I used G45 Communique and a Cherry Lynn Doily Die. I know you see this die in just about EVERY project I make, but it is my FAVORITE! I cut the doily in quarters and used pieces as wings on the fussy cut image. On the image, I added brass metallic distress stain. It added a distressed look; I am happy with how it turned out. I also used a doily as a background. I used crackle paint to distress it. Finally I added metal embellishments for that extra something!

I hope you enjoyed today's project. Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~

Practical Scrappers DT Project: Hello

Hi Krafters!

Today over at Practical Scrappers, it is all about staples and paper clips. We all have right? So why not use them! Staples and paper clips can make a pretty awesome embellishment. So don’t forget about them the next time you want to add a little something different to your project.

I used staples in two ways on this project. I used them as a pattern under foil paper and also in the traditional way. Both ways are super cool and are great for those ladies who like Steam Punk or for masculine projects!

So go over to Practical Scrappers to be inspired on how to use those trinkets J I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~
