STEAMPUNK TAG

Hey everyone,

Today, I’m sharing my latest DT project for Daisy’s Jewels and Crafts - Large mdf steampunk Tag.
I loved making this, as I love all things vintage and steampunk.
These large tags are a perfect blank canvas to create anything you like.
I used some awesome steampunk chipboard as a base, on top of some gorgeous paper from 13ARTS.
Daisy’s also have some fab mdf shapes in all styles and sizes. I used one of the heart shapes and a set of wings for this tag, as well as one of their mdf words.
Embellished with some Tim Holtz idea-ology and added a ribbon which I stained beforehand.
Hope you like. See you all soon xx

MDF STORAGE CUBE

Morning all,
Today, I’m sharing my latest DT project for Daisy’s Jewels and Crafts - mdf storage cube.
These are fantastic and a fab size. So, so easy to decorate, either painted or cover with your favourite papers.

They hold so much, which is great.

HALLOWEEN STORAGE BOX

Hey everyone,
Today, I’m sharing my latest DT project for Daisy’s Jewels and Crafts - Halloween storage box. This is a huge 40cmx40cm mdf box, which I’m now using to store all my paper pads :)
As tomorrow is Halloween, I thought this would be the perfect project to work on. I’m not gonna lie, this took me about a week to complete, but it was so much fun!!
I began by covering the entire box with white tissue paper, then painting different scenes on each side. Then, adding loads of accessories, mainly in the way of Tim Holtz idea-ology and die cuts. Then, added a few sentiments. I really hope you like it 😘

WEATHERED GATE

Hey everyone,

Today, I’m blogging my latest DT project for Daisy’s Jewels and Crafts - “Weathered Gate” using their mdf garden gate on a stand. I wanted to make it look old and weathered, as this is very much my ‘thing!’ 😉
I painted it with white gesso first, then did a layer of crackle paste. Once dried, I used Distress inks to give it an old, weathered look. I used a birch stamp to give it some wood details. Then, added a couple of hinges which I painted with rust paint.
I used Daisy’s moss embellishments at the base and on some of the gate itself. I hope you like xx

HALLOWEEN HAUNTED HOUSE

Hey everyone,
Today is part one of my Halloween DT projects for Daisy’s Jewels and Crafts - “Haunted House”
using Daisy’s mdf house. This is perfect for a shadow box.
I started by painting the whole thing black, then edging with design tape.
99% of the decorations and elements are Tim Holtz alterations and idea-ology. (Full list below)
I added some awesome red strip lights to give it an eerie look too.
I also made my own little coffin and gravestone, which was great fun. Hope you like.
My next Halloween part 2 project will be blogged on the 30th, but I have another non-Halloween project on the 18th. Don’t forget to pop onto here to see. Take care :)
