Good day card

Today is a good day! This is a card that I created for CHA (this weekend! Eeeeek!) featuring the New Leaf kit in my 28 Lilac Lane line. As you can See I added little bits and pieces (as I do!) and used a pretty stamped bouquet and some watercolors to bring it all together.

Want to see the full line? Buttons Galore posted photos here!

The kits will be shipping soon – I will be sure to update you when I have more info. Thank you for all the love and support on this new line – can’t wait to see you creating with it! In the meantime, I’m off to pack up for the big show! I will be doing some best-of/recap posts here on my blog after the show for sure. For ‘real time’ posts be sure to follow me (or just view) my instagram @craftwithmay.

If you’ll be at CHA be sure to find me at the Buttons Galore & More booth – I’ll have some special button give-aways! Not at CHA? Remember stay tuned I will have some to share with you as well…

It feels so right to kick off the new year with a brand new project tutorial featuring my own embellishment line! As a note, my line 28 Lilac Lane is going to debut at CHA this weekend, and will be shipping to stores soon! I will be sure to keep you posted on that. Will you be at CHA? If so, please visit me Saturday – Monday from 10-1130am or 4-5pm at the Buttons Galore & More booth! I’ll be doing demos and I have some special goodies that you want to be sure and ask me about!

Back to this project – this video and project features the Tropical Twist embellishment kit, but any kit will work for a project like mine you’ll need:

  • Wood or metal photo frame
  • liquid adhesive (I recommend PPA by US Art Quest – here’s an affiliate link to amazon)
  • an embellishment kit
  • Optional: Glossy sealant such as Glossy Accents; glitter glue, or glitter

Here is my finished project:

I love how this turned out, and you’ll see more variations of theme, color, and style here on my blog for sure! I can’t wait to see what you’ll create with 28 Lilac Lane – it won’t be long now!

Guess what? The sneak peeks are rollin in! While I don’t (yet!) have peeks at all of the various boxes and jars of embellishments that are coming soon, I do have a few and I am so excited to share some peeks with you! I also created an introduction video – you can check that out here: Link to YouTube

I will be doing demos and chatting with people at CHA when this line officially is revealed, and I can’t wait! In January video tutorials and ideas will be shared as well, and this line should begin shipping early 2016 so you don’t have long to wait.
