Haven't made a card in a while and really needed one to add to a birthday gift box for my cousin. Instead of starting from scratch, I decided to challenge myself to rework on a gifted card to make it more my style....you know, with the bits and bobs from my scrap pile.*winks*
Here was the original.
What do you think? Is the reworked card more my style?
Happy Monday friends! Here is this week's Make Stuff Monday project - a fin decorated upcycled envelope! :)
Can you tell where the envelope was from?
It's actually the sample envelope from Kiehl's that I've been upcycling for years. I usually cover the whole thing up with a piece of patterned paper. This time I decided to use the border on the envelope as part of my design to "frame my scene". I think it turned out quite decent. What do you think?
Hello. Totally meant to post this on a Monday but didn't. Oops. So here it is on a Tuesday. This week's upcycled project.:)
I started with this lovely sturdy box from Kiehl's.
Some packaging bits...
Some happy mail repurposing bits...
Even took the trusty old glue out to adhere the dimensional bits...
And of course, it has to be finished with shimmer mist. :)
Decided to challenge myself with a muted colour palette on an upcycled paper bag for this week's Make Stuff Monday.
Pretty happy to be able to use up the little bits in my stash that fall under the muted colour scheme.
As always, it was finished with glimmer mist to tie everything together. :)
Another week, yet another mish mash upcycled decorated paper bag. Yep. Scored a few Kraft paper bags recently...so more to come! *winks*
Creative time has been limited of late so I have been trying to vary my style to keep learning and growing in whatever time I do have.
Also making a concerted effort to use up my "save it for a rainy day" stash...
And just gluing stuff down instead of wasting time contemplating...
I really like how bright and colourful this piece turned out. ;)
Just a super fun upcycled paper bag for Make Stuff Monday. Wanted to use up lots of scrap bits. :)
Happy week ahead friends!
I recently scored some unadorned Kraft bags and just had to get to decorating! *winks*
Trying a vertical design and experimenting with creating different clusters that are linked by colours.
Happy week ahead friends!:)
Happy Monday friends! Had a large Kraft paper bag in my stash that was screaming to be decorated *winks* so here it is!
Happy Monday! Just a quick decorated paper bag project with bits from a recent happy mail.
Tried to use the decorated collage piece as is and just added a few extra elements to make it more "me".
And here is my completed project. :)
What do you think?
Hello friends! I have been getting back into my mixed media supplies...even glued some paper scraps with gel medium and played with my acrylic paints for the background of this upcycled box (*yay...go me!).
And then I pretty much went a little crazy with the fun scrap bits. :)
Happy Monday friends! Today's Make Stuff Monday is this Sunshine Fun paperbag! :)
I started with this Giorgio Armani paperbag which was shiny silver.
I toned down the silver with a green cardstock as my base for my embellishments.
I switched out the original black handles to white ones for a more cohesive look. :)
