Gina's Designs DT Project: Art Storage Cabinet

Happy July! Thanks for stopping by my blog today. What I have for you  is the Art Storage Cabinet. This unit will give you plenty of storage space! (Sorry, I am moving this weekend and am down to the bare minimums in my craft room! I promise, I will have this unit stuffed before the month is over!)

 

 

 Two of the sides house a long cubbie. As you can see by the picture, it will hold larger items, such as can of hair spray and mod podge!

To get this marble effect I swirled the embossing powder while it was hot and it blends with the gesso.

 

 You will find two large drawers on each of the other sides of the unit. The drawers are big enough to house ink pads from Stampin' up and still have room left in the drawer!

 The top has two cubbies as well. Next week I will be showing you a new design that will fit into one of the top cubbies!

 

  For those of you that have the Ultimate Storage Tower, the Art Storage Cabinet sits on top of the Tower. What a great pair!

Gina's Designs DT Project: Lace Banner

Hi everyone. Today I have designed a "lace" sign from Gina's Designs LOVE wall art kit! I plan on using it in my craft room to mark my lace area. When I have decided were that area will be, I will then make the decision on how I will attach it. For now I will just stand it up according style!

I lined the back chipboard with paper from Prima's Delight after edging it with Walnut Stain.  The corrugated squares were light touched with gesso. For the letters, I took the "O" and cut a small section from it to make a "C".  After a coat of gesso and embossing with Madonna Robe Blue Gold, I turned the "V" upside down and attached the little piece left over to form the "A."

The cutouts are from the paper line. I use a croched doily from my stash under the "A" and one of Gina's Designs under the "E". 

 The panels were attached together with a lovely piece of lace from CraftSupply1. I took out the ribbon that was woven through it. I then used one of my Tim Holtz Blending Tools and used it to drag the lace over the Antique Linen ink pad.

 Below are the before and after pictures of the blue and the flatter-brown flowers from CraftSupplies1.

For the blue flowers above, I simply applied a light coat of gesso to them.

The top flowers (as well as the flowers on the "C" and "A") all started out looking like the flower on the bottom. I first used gesso on them and then Placed around. the one on the left has Lindy's Stamp Gang embossing powder on it . The flower on the right has a little Lindy's scattered on it and then the stampin up! clear embossing powder over the entire flower. The one in the middle was inked and then embossed with clear. This gives another way to color them besides using alcohol inks.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!!!
