Melissa Frances

Faith Card by Emeline

Hi everyone.

Emeline here today to share with you a card showcasing Melissa Frances pattern papers, white resins and wooden chipboard.

Wooden embellishment was painted with a layer of gesso followed by acrylic white paint. Upon drying, I smeared a layer of glittery stickle. Quick way to glam up the wooden chipboard.

I distressed the edges with the help of distress ink and it looked perfect in the beautiful background of pattern papers and white resin.

Undeniably, Melissa Frances manufactures one of the best (may I add prettiest) non-paper embellishments. There are many embellishments in the market and pretty and sturdy ones like these made by Melissa Frances are sorely lacking. Wooden chipboards, white resins, silver metallic ones are really beautifully cut with intricate details. 

 

In my project here, I created a couple of tags and tag jackets. Due to the hardiness of these beautiful embellishments, I used tags and card stock for added strength so that the tags and envelope will not look flimsy.

 

 

 

Here, I layered white resin onto metallic ornate structure. The contrast is simply gorgeous. Raw, untreated in its basic form. 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you'll find some time this week to carve out some creative time for yourself!

Classic yet Elegant Album by Marta

Hello, today I would like to show you something different, than you can usual see in my works.
It's a big photo album in very simple and ellegant style.
It's created for a girl Zuzanna, as a First Holy Communion gift.

I used beautiful chipboard frames.

 

I add Resin Tea Party Applique Set. elements. I thought it would be fit perfectly. 

 

 

 

 

I've covered the chipboards with embossing, using white powder with holographic glitter. 

It works good also with the resin, to increase the details. 

 

 

One more frame inside. 

 

 

Inside, I used a white lux cardstock and parchment spacers. 

I stamped a little ornament on each card to make it more elegant, but still simple. 

.  

 

Thank you for stopping by today. 

I hope to see your art pieces with  Melissa Frances products. 

 

See you soon. 

Marta De :)

Thank you - a little card inspiration

We love the awesome coloring techniques design team member Sherrie Siemens does with our resin products and today she's used her Copic markers to color some detail on "The Bird Collection" resin (CX831).

Sherrie says:

You can never have too many thank you cards on hand. This card was made with the C'est La Vie collection. The resin bird cage was colored with BG11 and RV95 &RV99 copic markers. I also created the little bouquet of flowers using Melissa Frances embellishments.

A birthday Layout

Over the years Jill Cornell has shared many beautiful scrapbook pages with us featuring our shabby-chic products and her adorable twin daughters. This is no exception! Jill says:

We had a tea party themed birthday for the girls 3rd birthday and this collection was perfect! And I couldn't resist the tea pot resin piece...so pretty!

Let's take a closer look at those tea pot resin pieces she mentions. I think they add a dash of whimsy to the layout. They come in a package with 4 pieces, 2 tea pots and 2 cupcakes. Pieces measure 1” x .9”, Set of 4

Jill uses our versatile Ledger Dot paper (PA394) as the base for her page and add stickers and die cuts from our C'est la Vie collection to bring color into the page.



Thanks Jill for sharing your creativity with us!

A beautiful fabric pillow

We were beyond inspired by this GORGEOUS pillow that was emailed to us from Russian paper (and fabric) crafter Anita Nosova.

She used our beautiful Ivory Organza Pouf ribbon (GN580), and our Angels Amongst Us (CX864) Resin:

White & Cream Baptism Mini Alum

Today's inspiration comes to us from Nury Valdez a Melissa Frances customer from the Dominican Republic. Her project really exemplifies how simple can be stunning. Nury used the large Chiswick Resin Frame by Melissa Frances as the focal point for the cover of this Baptism album.

Merry-go-round

One of the things we love about design team member Fabienne Pernot is how creative she is in making amazing vignettes and 3D scenes with our paper craft products. Today's project is another that stopped us in our tracks as soon as she shared it with us.

Fabienne used our C'est la Vie paper collection to create this merry-go-round. She embellished it with our resin angels  Angels among us (CX864).

Sometimes I am just so amazed by the creativity that is alive and well in the paper crafting community and this is one of those projects that just leaves me in awe!

If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments and we will be sure to have Fabienne answer them.
