Bloom Girl Peyton in a Vintage Christmas way

Hey everyone!

DT Stephanie here with you today to present Bloom Girl Peyton! As the holidays season approaches, I wanted to show you that all the Bloom Girls (and boy!) can be turned into a Christmas ornament, gift, home decor, and of course, cards! So this is the first of my (hopefully) long list of ideas!

As always, I stamped my image first, coloured it, and fussy cut with sharp scissors the parts I wanted to keep. You don't have to use the full image/design if you think something can't fit what you have in mind! Then, it's up to you to figure out a sketch for your card, starting with your favourite christmas patterned paper, and stunning pops of colours added by your embellishments.

Supplies used :
Bloom Girl Peyton stamp
Copic markers
Cryogen White cardstock
Memento Black Tuxedo ink
Mushroom weave trim from Prima, 577100
Metal embellishments - flowers from Prima, 960339
Peace and holly flowers from Prima, 584408
A Victorian Christmas 6x6 paperpad from Prima, 990541

Hope you like Peyton turned this way and make sure to share your own version on our Facebook Group!

Merry Christmas Summer with Mindy

Hi there my crafty peeps. Today I have a card to share using the 'Summer' Stamp and ironically I made a Christmas Card using her. That's just how versatile these gorgeous stamps are!

While at Michaels last week I found these berries and poinsettias and they are a little big but I knew they would be PERFECT with this image! I LOVE the way this card came out.

If you haven't gotten this gorgeous image yet we have a list of stores you can buy from HERE.

Have you seen the Bloom Girl Video Library? Tons of Bloom Girl Projects to check out.

Hope you all have a wonderful Day!

Hugs, Mindy

Hi everyone :) I have created an unique necklace and jewelry board. I had the pleasure of using Ice Resin, Walnut Hollow, and Rolex product to create my pieces. Here is a how to of how I create this fun gift. 

Now remember you can change up the colors to fit your style. 

First I took Ice Resin's Molding Putty and one of my daughter's resin horses and made a mold of the horse. I then poured the mold with Ice Resin. I also cut shapes out of a couple of sheets of Rowlux and layered them with Resin also. This gave them a nice gloss finish and give them an extra layer of strength.  While those cured I moved onto my jewelry board.

I had created a mold from a $1 store frame and poured it with resin. The fun part about the molding putty is you can use any found object to create a mold out of. While the frame cured I took black chalkboard paint and painted the face of my Walnut Hollow wood plank. I let that dry. 

I wanted to add a splash of red to our board so i traced out on the board where I would like to place the frame. Then I also traced an insert onto a piece of Rowlux and cut it out. I adhered the Rowlux onto the board. 

I used liquid Gold leaf paint and painted the edge of my board as well as my resin frame. I then adhered my resin frame to the board. Using self tapping eyelet's I screwed them into the face of my jewelry board. 

To put my necklace together. I took a large bezel that I resined my Horse head onto (The red background is a piece of red Rowlux). I then used jump rings to attach my Rowlux embellishments to the bottom of the Bezel. The smaller bezel is resined with Rowlux confetti and Iced Enamels. 

Here is my finished result. A fun gift for that Romantic in your life. 

Happy Creating...

Supplies Used: Ice Resin, Iced Enamels, Ice Resin Molding Putty, Ice Resin Romantique Bezels, Rowlux film, Walnut Hollow Wood plank, black chalkboard paint, gold liquid leaf, Gold eyelets, misc jewelry findings and chain.

A Little Christmas Cheer

Hello :)

I wanted to share with you my last Live With Prima class. I created a fun little Christmas wreath and below you will find the video with all of the how to's. You can alter this project to any size and create small present toppers or party favors, or you can even expand it and make a giant wreath for your door :) I hope you enjoy.

Also attached it the template I used to create the star on the front. This file is a PNG and can be altered to fit your needs. 

I hope you enjoy this tutorial and I will have my altered book tutorial up later today or tomorrow :) Thank you for stopping by my blog.

Hugs
Jamie D.
