Stamperia Rose Parfum Tea Party in a Box Tutorial for Make & Take Tuesday

Hello, Friends! We’re going shabby chic today with a Stamperia Rose Parfum Tea Party in a Box Tutorial. Everything about this gorgeous paper collections says, “shabby me up.” So I added distressed edges, machine stitching, dry brushing and spattered paint. Pull your mixed media boots out of the closet, because we are going to have fun today!

I’m a pushover for rose patterned papers. I think they remind me of my grandmother’s house. She had cabbage roses on the sofa in her parlor, and cabbage rose wallpaper in her den. There’s a cozy, comfy nostalgia built into the design of this paper collection, and I like it!

Speaking of roses, I’ve added a delicious cascade of pink roses down the side of this 6 1/4″ x 6 1/2″ card folio. We will decorate the card cover together in today’s tutorial, but the focus of the tutorial is actually on the inside of the card.

A Peek Inside

Like all my Tea Party in a Box creations, you’ll find a lovely box pocket inside the card. I’ve filled this up with all the usual treats including a sweet little honey dipper and a heart charm. Have you given an

The main focus of our tutorial today is the accordion pull out folio situated inside the top half of the card. I’m going to show you how to use one piece of 12×12 paper to make a 9-panel photo folio with a magnetic closure mechanism.

Look how much room we have for photos! The side pocket/photo mat pages cover up the spots where the papers were joined together.

Here’s a closer look at all the goodies I’ve tucked inside the box pocket.

Winter Ice Skates Mixed Media Wall Hanging

Winter Ice Skates Mixed Media Wall Hanging with Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello, Friends! This Winter Ice Skates Mixed Media Wall Hanging is the companion piece to the Stamperia Sweet Winter wall hanging I shared with you earlier this month. Both feature the Really Reasonable Ribbon December Ribbon Club Assortment, were made at the same time and followed the same basic procedure. What can I say? I had so much fun making the first one, and my work space was already a mess, so I decided to make another. When the mojo is flowing, you don’t argue. You just flow with it!

You can check out all the how to’s and tips for making the mixed media background in my previous post.

A stitched ribbon frame really helps pull this composition together. That pop of color helps to keep the eye focused inside the frame. If you don’t like to stitch, you could always use Scor-Tape to hold your ribbon frame in place.

And speaking of pops of color, how about this Tropic Delicate Stitched Satin Bow? Ooh-la-la! It really brightens up this shabby chic piece, dontcha think? Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon is one of my all time favorites. It is soft and supple so it ties gorgeous bows. If you are struggling with bow-tying, I highly recommend it!

That’s it for me today, friends! I’m still trying to get back on track after the Christmas festivities! I hope each one of you had a delightful holiday with family and friends. It’s so much fun to party, isn’t it? But then we have to catch up on all the work we didn’t get done. That’s not as much fun!

Stay warm and cozy and thanks for stopping by!

Stamperia Sweet Winter Wall Hanging

Stamperia Sweet Winter Wall Hanging for the Really Reasonable Ribbon December Blog Hop

Hello, Friends! This Stamperia Sweet Winter Wall Hanging is my inspiration piece for the Really Reasonable Ribbon December 2022 Blog Hop. You should be coming here from Gloria’s lovely blog.

The December Winter Carnival Ribbons take me right back to my high school days, when our small town hosted a winter carnival during Christmas break. There was a snow sculpture contest, ice skating, hot chocolate stands, and all kinds of winter fun. The beautiful ribbons in this month’s Ribbon Club are delightful. Take a peek:

The soft pink and aqua shades were a perfect match for my Stamperia Sweet Winter papers, so I got busy stitching up a little winter wall hanging to brighten the grey, chilly days of the season.

Frame it with Ribbon

First, create a mixed media background. Use collage medium to piece together scraps of pretty papers over a 5×7 cardstock base. Trim off any papers that overhang the edge of the cardstock base. Then run the background through your die cutting machine using a 3D embossing folder to create a raised design. Now dry brush ivory paint over the embossed areas to highlight them. Then rub a little metallic wax over the top to really make the embossed areas pop.

Now you are ready to create your satin ribbon border. Cut (2) 5″ lengths of the 3/8″ aqua satin ribbon and (2) 7″ lengths. Miter the corners and then machine stitch onto the cardstock base. Match up the mitered corners as you go. Now you are ready to decorate your panel.

Make a Scene

Cluster die cut foliage with chipboard elements from the paper collection in the bottom corner of the panel. Use foam tabs between layers to add extra dimension.

Now create a flower grouping on the opposite side of the wall hanging. Anchor this with a pretty pink satin bow and some silver metallic string.

Attach the wall hanging to a small metal hanger, then top it off with a pop of color courtesy of Garden Rose Delicate Stitched Satin. Accent with chipboard snowflakes, resin pieces and charms from your stash.

On With the Hop!

Now hop on over and see what paper pretties Cheryl has in store for you. Be sure to finish up the hop over on the RRR Blog where you can answer Bonnie’s Question of the Month and be entered to win your very own December Ribbon Club Assortment.

Enjoy the hop!

Stamperia Classic Christmas Recipe Folio Kit Reveal

Stamperia Classic Christmas Recipe Folio Kit Reveal for The Button Farm Club

Hello, Friends! So many wonderful Christmas memories get cooked up in the kitchen, and this Stamperia Classic Recipe Folio Kit is the perfect way to capture them all. Whether you are making a heritage recipe album, recording good times baking with your children or grandchildren, or simply want a bit of Christmas cheer in your kitchen, this folio fits the bill.

I designed this 8″ x 8″ hardcover tri-fold folio exclusively for The Button Farm Club. It’s a brand new folio design, and it’s loaded with room for recipes, memory keeping and photos. From the adorable shaker cover to the amazing mechanisms tucked inside, I have to say this is one of my all time favorite creations. I hope you’ll feel that way about it, too!

Warm and Nostalgic

We’ve been through more chaos and stress these past few years than any of us ever signed up for. So I wanted to create a warm and nostalgic recipe folio that would transport us all back to simpler, happier times. Naturally, I looked to Stamperia’s gorgeous Classic Christmas collection to help me carry out this task. It fairly oozes with Christmas joy and happiness.
