Fancy Aunties and Romantic Steampunk!
Filed under Art Deco, Design Team, Giveaways, Newsletters, Sale, Steampunk, 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 lists for both projects on the new site: Rhea’s Time Discovers Truth, Nichola’s Fancy Aunties Album.
Ooh, two lovely projects by Design Team Members to see today — plus related new items and a related Giveaway!
Let’s start with Rhea’s
Time Discovers Truth 6×6 card. Rhea started off with a base from the Monarch Cherish Varnished Scrapbook Paper (that Rhea grunged up and made good use of its resist properties) and added a distressed 4″ Paper Doily shaped into a flirty little skirt. The rest of her base was completed by edging the card with the Lace Edging Collage Sheets (printed as a transparency) then adding a woman from the Victorian Fashions Collage Sheet and wings from the Time Flies Collage Sheet. And guess what? All of those items are On Sale!
Don’t you love the fun embellishments on the card? The Junkyard Findings – Handles and Turns have to be one of my favorite things to use; they’re beyond versatile! Also versatile to use in a variety of mediums are the Junkyard Findings – Clock Faces.
Here’s a link to Rhea’s full Supply List, and see her blog post here.
And in honor of Rhea’s project, the ENTIRE Steampunk Theme Section is On Sale! And that includes some new paper pads and clock charms and gears — one is shown above (Antique Brass Clock Charm) plus see below for more of the new items.
Moving on to the Fancy Aunties Album by Nichola! I love the mix of vintage photos with the Art Deco-inspired papers from the Couture Collection. And Nichola graciously laid out two collage sheets so you can borrow her Fancy Aunties!
Nichola used the New and On Sale! 8×8 Easel Album as the base for her album. The album is spiral bound, with 6 kraft cardstock pages inside. Plus, triangular, easel-style kraftboard construction allows it to stand independently. And it fits perfectly in the 8×8 Matchbook Box (also new and shown below). See below for more new items in Nichola’s album (all On Sale!) Here’s a link to her supply list plus more info (and lots more beautiful photos) on her blog.
But before you run off and get engrossed in reading either blog post, dont forget the Romantic Steampunk Giveaway, back in stock items, and a recap of Thursday’s newsletter (with a FREE template) — all below.
