Farm Fresh ~ with Cyndy G

Good morning.  Today I am sharing a project from SVG Attic.  I used the 3D Garden Spade and made home decor piece.

I fussy cut vegetables out of Graphic 45 Home Sweet Home Collection and added them to the garden spade.  I also used a title from Authenique Paper Homestead Collection.

I used Mod Podge on each individual piece to help protect the paper from tearing and inked all the edges.  Then I used foam tape to add dimension between the vegetables.  The finished project can be hung by the hole in the handle or displayed on an easel.  Thank you for stopping by today.

Do what inspires you,
Cyndy G

Pumpkin and Apple Basket Fall Decor with Beth

Good morning all!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today!  Fall will be here in just a couple of days, so I created this fall decor to share with you.

For the apple basket, I used the file from JGW Fall Ensemble.  There is a great tutorial HERE to help with assembly.  Papers are from DCWV's Pumpkin Patch stack.  I added a small bow of Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine to the front.

The pumpkin is from the JGW Falling Leaves set.  Tutorial for that is HERE.  The leaf with vine is from the JGW Sam the Scarecrow set and it worked perfectly on the pumpkin!  Once again, all the papers are from DCWV's Pumpkin Patch stack.  I wrapped some Totally Chocolate and Spiced Pumpkin Trendy Twines around the pumpkin.

Here is a look at the sets that I used:

3D Dressmaker's Mannequin

Tracy with the Idea Closet today and I can't tell you how excited I am for today's project!

I love dress forms.  I collect the mini's and have them in my craft room.  They are perfect for hanging jewelry, tags and little cards on, plus they are just fun to look at.

Imagine how excited I was when I saw this beautiful 3D Dressmaker's Mannequin on the SVG Attic site.  Instant LOVE!!!

This is part of the JGW Just Sew collection and the entire set is amazing.

The instructions for putting the Dressmakers Mannequin together  can be found here.

I started with Black card stock and pretty pink and black printed card stock so she would match my craft room.

There are so many fun details to this mannequin and I want to share them all.

First you can make the mannequin as is- without the cage skirt.  Just on its own it is striking.

The base is one of my favorite parts of the Mannequin.  It is wrapped around a wooden dowel and then lots of layers.

I embossed the top decorative layers and not only is it sturdy but very realistic looking.

The Cage Skirt is a perfect addition!

Follow the instructions Jodi has here for the skirt.

And here is a bonus tip for you.

I started on the skirt and realized I did't have any black embellishment so I got out some  left over rhinestones and colored them with a black sharpie marker.

WaLa-- Black rhinestones-- or any color that you need. 

 (The black sharpie even covered the blue ones)

The skirt file comes with a bustle and a lacing packet for the back. 

I added the ribbon around the waist as well.

While working on this project, I kept thinking how pretty if would be with some flowers cascading down the neck and torso. 

The G is for Gratitude collection had the perfect flowers I needed.

I scaled the flowers from the gift box down by about 50%, cut them out, inked them, and then layered them. 

Place another colored rhinestone in the middle and you have a beautiful flower to finish the project with.

I think the possibilities for this dress form/ mannequin are endless and I will probably use it in countless ways!

Spring Blossom Blocks

Tracy here from the Idea Closet and ready to share my newest project.

Spring is here and it is one of my favorite times of the year.  

I love the warmer weather and the flowers that are just blooming!

If you do too you will love this project.

These spring blocks are perfect for bringing some of the outdoors inside!

Believe it or not this was created using the block files from the 

JGW Batwing Brew Collection over at SVG Attics.

Did you ever think you could use a Halloween file for Spring?

This kit is so versatile, you could do it for almost any theme.

Just change up the words and you have a perfect Spring set.

I used some of my favorite paper from Doodle Bug and added some Doodle Pop Stickers and ribbon to finish it up.

Here are some close up pictures:

Jody gives great instructions here to put the blocks together.  There are a lot of pieces but it goes together quick and easy.
