VC Rocks Blog Hop

Welcome  to the VC Rocks Blog Hop!  You may have come from Brenda Hugar's blog and you can go back to the master list at the VC Rocks blog at any time. 

This month's blog hop theme is anything but a card so I thought I would share a couple fun projects. 

The first is one I saw on our demonstrator website and thought I would try it out with a different die along with the one the demonstrator, Nicole Slaubaugh used.  Hers was created using the Matchbox die and you can see I added a couple butterflies and basic rhinestones to the top of mine.

Before you put your card stock through the Big Shot, you need to use some fabric and glue stick and cover the card stock.  Then, when you place the card stock on your die, make sure the card stock side is next to the die, not the fabric side. I used the Springtime Vintage fabric on these  two boxes.

On the second box I used the Box #2 die and that piece of cardstock is covered completely with fabric. The boxes both were very easy to work with.

Finally, I just decorated with some flowers and butterflies (Beautiful Butterflies Die, Beautiful wings embosslit and Fun Flowers Die) and added some fun little embellishments (basic rhinestones and vintage flower adornments).

Supplies:

Very Vanilla card, Baja Breeze, Marina Mist and Pear Pizzazz card stock

sticky strip

Springtime Vintage fabric

glue stick

Matchbox Die

Box #2 die

The next project I am going to share is just made with a shadow box frame as the base, this one is an 8" x 8" frame.  I embossed the flower image from the Elements of Style stamp set on two corners of some Presto Patterns Specialty paper (now retired) and then brayered Bashful Blue ink all over the paper.   

The background piece is Night of Navy that has been run through the Big Shot using the Vintage Wallpaper impressions folder and distressed a little bit.  This is what it looks like outside the frame.

And a close up...or two :)

The color spritzer and Night of Navy marker added some more texture to the base paper and I sponged everything else with Bashful Blue classic ink and some Champagne Mist shimmer paint.
