Hello,

It's Wednesday, and it means it's Decorate to Celebrate time! Wed is also when I post creations using washi tape!!!

I am so ready for Spring!!! It's still cold and snowing here...

So here it is...Washi Tape Meets...Altered Switchplate!

Challenges:

1. JUGS #282: Photo Inspiration (don't know if they accept projects other than cards, but since the colors are from their challenge, thought I would link to it, too!)

2. WAW #173: Anything Goes

3. MMMC #10: Birds of a Feather

4. SSS Mon: Just a hint of clover...

How-To:

The bird is a vinyl sticker, and I already had it there before.

I took the switchplate off, covered it with the gold polka-dot washi tape and put it back.

I cut the roses from Art Philosophy Cricut (2 different sizes), rolled them and added gold glitter.

I stamped 2 flower images with leaves, colored them with Shin Han Touch Twin and Copic markers and heat embossed them in clear 3 times.

Then, I added the stamped images and the roses on the switch plate.

Supplies (CTMH):

retired SOTM

Shin Han Touch Twin markers

Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge

Gold Polka--Dot Washi Tape

Colonial Daisy cardstock

Tweezers

Heat Gun

Others:

Decorate to Celebrate DT Challenge #93: Altered Chocolate Box

Hello,

It's a new Anything Goes Challenge at Decorate to Celebrate!

Here's my project:

Challenges:

1. MMMC #9: Think Pink

2. SSS Mon: H is for...

3. WAW #169: Anything Goes
4. FCCB #244: Valentine's Day
5. H2H CTMH: Home is where the Heart is

I altered this chocolate box from Fannie May...but before I get to the how-to, a funny story...

The box was under my coffee table...when I grabbed it to start my project, the "supposedly empty" 

box was filled with these:

My funny boys...don't know which one did it, though! =)

Maybe my oldest son N...since I saw him playing with it the other day...

OK, to the how-to:

1.The box had these pretty swirls on top, so I just covered it with 2 different decorative tapes from my stash. They are not really washi tape, they're shinny, kinda like pretty packing tape.

2. I added 2 strips of patterned paper to cover the sides. The colors were a little bit off, so I added pink polka-dots washi tape on top of the strips. I also glued a pink decorative ribbon on the top edge.
3. I cut a floral wreath from Artfully Sent Cricut cart and adhered half of it on box.
4. I used a light pink ink pad to stamp Doily and fussy cut it.
5. I stamped Doodle circle and sentiment in bright pink ink, fussy cut it, and adhere on top of Doily with foam tape.
6. I adhered the stamped embellishment on box, and added paper flowers (Prima) and a rolled flower from Art Philosophy Cricut cart.
7. Finally, I mixed liquid glue (The Paper Studio) with glitter (holographic purple and white) and brushed them on the flowers and "branch" with a paintbrush.

Supplies (CTMH):
Artfully Sent and Art Philosophy Cricut cartridges
Doily stamp
Doodled Designs stamp set
Sentiment - Mini Valentine stamp
foam tape
pink polka-dot washi tape
White Daisy cardstock
Others:
decorative tape
patterned paper
ribbon
liquid glue
glitters
paintbrush
flowers (Prima)

Decorate to Celebrate DT Challenge #92: Love Heart Wall Decoration

Hello,

It's time for a new challenge at Decorate to Celebrate! 

It's Anything Goes - create decorations for anything you please (3-D projects, cards in a box, and cards with any 3-D cut out on it). 

I made this wall decoration with my Cricut:

Supplies:
Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge from CTMH (heart, banners and rose)
stamps (CTMH)
patterned papers (KI Memories, The Paper Studio)
hemp string
mini clothespins
paper flowers (Recollection)
Brilliance ink pad

I cut the same heart shape (almost 11 inches) out of white cardstock and pink patterned paper. The white heart was altered in CCR. I also cut out 4 flags in black and a spiral in cream, which I rolled into a rose.
Don't know if you can see it in the pics, but I weaved hemp around the open spaces, and also used hemp for hanging the banner and the heart.
I spelled "LOVE" (using stamps and a pearlescent ink pad) on the flags and added them with clothespins. I like using Brilliance ink pads on black paper...it gives you the chalkboard look with a little bit of shimmer.
I finished it up with two cut out butterflies and layered flowers with the rose.

Thank you for stopping by!

Decorate to Celebrate DT: Challenge #91 - Anything Goes

Another exciting news for 2015!

I am on the Decorate to Celebrate Design Team!

Here's my first project:

My wedding anniversary is coming up and my husband and kids surprised me with an early gift - a Hyacinth!
The vase is a plain clear one and you can see all the roots, so I decided to hide them...

The pretty double-sided glittered patterned paper (try to say that fast!) did half the job!
I used my Cricut to cut the box base (Artiste Cricut cartridge from CTMH). It also has the box shape, but I actually just cut/scored my own.
I stamped the sentiment from This Moment stamp set (CTMH) on white cardstock and inked the edges; added some Prima flowers, gemstone and glitter glue and...there you have it! A vase box!

Hope you liked it!
