French Perfume Display (+ Lace Tinting Tutorial!)
Filed under Art Projects, Collage Sheets, Giveaways, Jeanne Draachreider, Newsletters, Springtime in Paris Kit, Tutorials
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply list items from Jeanne’s project that are still available on the new site.
Wow! I love all the tips and samples of tinting lace and ribbons in Jeanne’s tutorials! Plus new items (perfect for tinting lace!), tons of new goodies added to the clearance section, and two FREE offers! First, I’ll let Bella take the lead and introduce Jeanne’s project.
Design Team Member Jeanne Draachreider has put together a lovely French Perfume Display for you to not only adore, but with a tutorial for you to make your own display!
Ah, Springtime in Paris! Walking by the parfumerie you think, “WHAT is that smell? I must have been kissed by angel wings!” You’re lured in by the sillage of perfume… wrapping it’s seductive arms around you… whispering “buy the biggest bottle of me no matter how expensive I am…” So you temporarily lose your mind and you buy the biggest bottle forgetting that your rent is due. Oh wait. That was me in my 20s. Now I just make my own mind-altering perfumes, but I digress!
Continuing on with the Springtime in Paris Kit theme, Jeanne has taken On Sale! Paper Mache House Accordion Shrine to make the Perfume Display. Yes, I know. There’s only ONE panel not 3 in Jeanne’s display but guess what? You’ll have 2 extra panels to make something else out of with the other two you don’t use. I just love art supplies that can be used for multiple projects, don’t you?
Jeanne covered her display with Glamour and Grunge Scrapbook Papers then added images from the New! Paris in Bloom Collage Sheet (that Jeanne designed!) and the Romantic Perfume Labels Collage Sheet. To make things easy, Jeanne ran her images and scrapbook paper through the Xyron 510 – Creative Station. So handy-dandy that Xyron 510, I must get myself one!
The Pink Rose Garland is intertwined with the Cherry Blossom Garland and draped across the back wall of the display and check out that cute little Eiffel Tower that came from the I See Paris Cling-Mounted Stamp Set that’s right up front. (Noticing that I don’t have this stamp set. How can that be?!)
My favorite part of the whole display, as far as technique goes, is the 3/8 Inch Looped Ivory Lace. Why? Well because it is SO easy to do and you can color the lace (or muslin, or trims) in just about any color with Distress Stains or with the Lindy’s Stamp Gang Products.
Oh, but I’m not going to tell you how to create lace in the colors of your dreams: Jeanne is! You’re in for a special treat with not only a tutorial on how she made her Perfume Display, but Jeanne has also created a fabulous tutorial on how to color, stain and ink a myriad of items.
Check out the listing of components that Jeanne used, then head on over to her tutorial and/or see more photos in the Gallery.
After you’ve seen the first tutorial, then come on back over here and get ready to get your hands full of color with Jeanne’s Tinting Lace Tutorial.
Psst… Leslie taking over again. It’s not like me, but I went a little wild with pink in the Pink Shrine Giveaway below (I’m actually one of those designers who only wears black… not always the best choice in 100 degree California heat!)
And some of the pink papers (and the whole Flora Paper & Sticker Set!) that I added to the Giveaway, I also added to the Clearance Section (which means they’re 80% off)!
Note: last Thursday we announced a FREE Gift Kit, and that offer is still on: a Little Metal Bits FREE Gift Kit is FREE for all orders over $20! More info and a photo are below.
Even though this is a holiday weekend, we’ll all be here Monday… catching up and getting ready for the June kits to be announced next Sunday!

Oh, wow! This would be such a perfect birthday gift for my sister! She would love to own it – and I’d have a terrific time creating it! Your collection of materials is just amazing … if you’ll throw my name into the cyber hat, I will sit here with my fingers crossed (even though that’s going to make surfing the internet a more labored affair that usual!).
Another beautiful Giveaway….love all the materials ncluded, crossing my fingers (and toes) for getting lucky !!!!!
Lovely, lovely….Hope to get this one!! Smiles…
Well, I rarely enter these online things but when you said you wear a lot of black (and you’re still very creative) I just had to post because that’s about all I wear also except for the bright pink and purple streak in my blonde hair. That and I love to dye lace. So thanks for making me feel I’m creative in spite of wearing black.
Fun giveaway, thanks for all the wonderful inspiration!
