Melissa Frances

Shabby Chic by Phyllis

 

Hello crafty friends!  Phyllis Fernandez here sharing my first Design Team Project for Melissa Frances!  I created a Shabby Chic 12x12 wall decor hanging.  

 

I used a 12x12 corkboard that I've had for a long time,  it finally came in handy for this project!

 

I used Melissa Frances White and Pink Delicate Blossom Flowers,  and Melissa Frances White Spring Sprung Flowers in clusters.  

I painted the the wooden veneer key using Art Anthology Sorbet~Cotton Candy.

 

I went thru my stash and found some beautiful lace trims that went perfectly for this wall hanging.

 

Below are more up close pictures!

 

I love lots of texture so I layered with lace trim,  flowers,  chipboard pieces,  buttons,  doilies,  clothes pin,  pearl trim and some fiber trim.

 

I made a pinwheel to back the wooden veneer heart and painted it with Art Anthology's Gemstones Garnet.  I also mixed Art Anthology's Stone Effects Sandstone,  Metal Effects Gold and Velvet Cotton Candy for the Melissa Frances chipboard frame.

 

 

 

 

I painted the Melissa Frances Tea Party Applique Resin with Art Anthology's Stone Effect Sandstone paint.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for stopping by today!

 

I hope that I have inspired you to create something beautiful!

Layout Bonanza

(This layout features papers from our Fresh Twist and Thankful collections, along with our Attic Treasures die cuts.)

Today we have a real treat for you. The very talented Mariya from Russia shared some of her creations featuring the Melissa Frances product line with us, and we wanted to in turn, share them with you! Mariya says:

I live in St. Petersburg. My joy is my daughter, who makes me happy all day. And when she goes to bed, I do scrapbooking. And I embroider a little - a little, because I have no time :-)

As you can see with the layouts here, Mariya has a beautiful style and loves to layer her  embellishments and page accents.

(This layout features our Pearl paper from the 5th Avenue Collection)

(This layout features papers from our C'est la Vie and Vintage Posey Collections)

(And this layout features paper from our Thankful collection.)

Be sure to come back on Friday to see some of Mariya's beautiful cards.

If you have a project that you'd like to share with our readers, we invite you to email it to us at: [email protected] (Please note, this is a new email address as we'd been having problems with our previous server. Thank you.)

Messy Hairdo - 5 lines combined!

We received this project from Filipino designer Wendy Kwok and were in love with the way she combined 5 of our Melissa Frances collections to make this beautiful layout.

When we design our paper collections we keep in mind that we want them to mix and match thereby giving more design options, but this layout truly puts our goal to the test! Here, Wendy combines papers from the Attic Treasures Vol.3, Vintage Posey, C'est la Vie, 5th Avenue, and original Attic Treasures Collections.

Wendy shared: My fave part of this layout is the layering of papers which shows how well the range of papers goes together

Thanks for sharing your creativity, and how the Melissa Frances papers can be mixed, with us today Wendy!

We have two great projects from Mona Pendleton to share with you today. Both of them combine some current Melissa Frances goodies with some older discontinued products. The first, is this super adorable shabby-styled house covered with papers from our Vintage Posey Collection, which is now retired. We've often seen these houses decorated for the holiday season, and we appreciate how fresh and summery the house looks when decorated with our light, floral papers.

The second project from Mona is this pretty greeting card. She combined the neutral Anastasia paper from our Attic Treasures Collection with a floral paper from the Vintage Posey Collection.
Thanks Mona!
