Only two more tutorials left and of course I have saved the best two for last.
 


If you have no idea what I am talking about this is the third post in a series of four showing the different painting techniques that I used for our popular Step it Up Frame Gallery.  Part I showed off some basic painting techniques, and Part II showed how to create a two toned paint effect.

October Show and Tell

Show and Tell posts are always my favorite. This month I had TONS of pictures sent in.  LOVED THEM ALL!!   It is always rewarding to see people create something cute from one of our craft projects.  Here are a few of my favorite (emphasis on a few, there were too many to include them all)

Let's start off with some cute Halloween projects. Seriously could these ladies have used cuter paper for these Witch Layered Plaques?  Doesn’t get better than damask and polka dots. . .

Seriously the tree and birds on this paper could not be better accents for  the vinyl from the project.

Stepping Up Frame Gallery *NEW*

Introducing the newest addition to our frame gallery collection – STEP IT UP
You would not believe (or maybe if you have tried something like this you would) how many months it took me to figure out this frame gallery!  The end design looks NOTHING like what I started out with . .  .BUT . . I LOVE IT!!!  Take a peek at our newest frame gallery and see what you think.

Obviously it was designed to go up (or down) a staircase wall.

We Love Damask

I have to admit I don’t always love what is trending at the moment, but right now I am LOVING the chevron, quatrefoil, polka dots and damask patterns that are so popular.
Today let’s focus on DAMASK.

They are so many cute damask scrap book paper designs out there that it is easy to incorporate damask into any craft project.

I love how this damask scrapbook paper looks behind our Easter print.

 and I love how adding damask paper to this frame gave it a high end boutique look to our circle frame.
