Denim Pocket Pillow by Donna Salazar

Hello my peeps! Today I'm sharing a SEWING project! I know, right? Who knew that I could sew. I was inspired to do this project by the Soft Touch pillow insert from Fairfield. I felt that maybe I needed yet another denim pillow because I never seem to have enough denim in my life... LOL!

The pillow insert is 14x14 so I cut two 16x16 pieces of denim. I started by sewing the denim piping along the edge of one side then sewed the Levis® pocket to the center... but offset just a touch because I knew I'd be adding the flower. I pinned the 2 pieces of 16x16 denim together, wrong side out, and sewed around the edge with the foot right on the piping to give it a nice clean edge. I left a hole on the last side that was half the width of the pillow, turned the case inside out, added the pillow insert and sewed the cover shut, again with the foot right on the piping.

I then made the flower pin and bow pin that could be removed (to make washing the pillow easier) and have the step by step instructions for you.

I started by die cutting a whole bunch of roses and leaves from denim and Oly*Fun Rose Gold material using my new Jumbo Rose steel rule die from Spellbinders®. These roses are the next couple sizes up from one of my first dies (and still a very popular die) with Spellbinders® called Rose Creations. I painted the backs of all of the flowers and leaves with my Girlie Grunge Art Medium from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® to stiffen the materials enough to form them.

After the medium was dry I put the Oly*Fun die cuts in my Medallion Em-Bossing folder and ran them through the Platinum machine.

I had some canvas flowers that were perfect for the flower center that I had cut from my Canvas Ribbons from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® using my Rose Creations dies. I painted them with Girlie Grunge Art Medium to stiffen them and keep the edges from fraying. I also cut 3 pieces of my Girlie Grunge Twine to use to string all the die cuts together. This was made easier when I dipped the ends of the Girlie Grunge Twine into my Girlie Grunge Art Medium then twisted them together.

When it dried (after about a minute) the end was stiff like a shoe lace which made it supper easy to thread it through the shank of a vintage button.

I then dipped the ends of both sides of the Girlie Grunge Twine into the Girlie Grunge Art Medium again and twisted to thread through all the flower die cuts.

I started with the canvas flowers...

Then I threaded the smaller denim and Oly*Fun roses with the petals offset then the larger roses.

I trimmed the Girlie Grunge Twine and spread the ends out. I used a Dodz™XL to adhere the ends in place. I used another Dodz™XL on top of 3 leaves that I adhered to the bottom of the rose.

I die cut the larger rose from my Jumbo Rose die with a piece of stiffen2 interlining from Fairfield. I then sewed a pin to the back of it.

I lined up the stiffen2 interlining die cut on the back of the flower and used a heat gun in between the flower and the interlining pressing each petal to the flower as I went to fuse them together.

I tied a bow with my organza ribbon from my Texture Ribbons pack from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and sewed a pin to the back.

I used a heat gun to make the bow look more girlie grunge.

I added both pins to the pillow and called it done!!!

Here is a close up of the denim piping on the side of the pillow.

The whole project only took me about 2 hours total!!! Easy peasy!!!

Girlie Grunge Mixed Media Recipe Holder by Tracey Sabella

Hi everyone! It's Tracey here to share my latest project with Donna's gorgeous products. I've altered this oversized clothespin as a recipe holder. Simply clip a recipe into the clothespin to keep it in plain site while cooking. I've featured Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Pigment Powders and 3D Foam Swirls along with her Spellbinders Rose Creations, Bitty Blossoms, and a layered butterfly created with her brand new Cascading Butterflies die scheduled to be released this spring.

Tips and Techniques

This sweet layered flower is cut with two of Donna's dies. The bottom layers are cut from a canvas flag in Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Pennant Set using her Rose Creations Dies. I've inked the canvas with her Denim and Indigo Colorbox® Mix'd Media Inx®. The center flower is cut with Donna's Bitty Blossoms die. I adhered the flower to the clothespin with Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Dodz™ XL. I just adore how all of Donna's flower dies can be layered to create an endless assortment of different blossoms.

Donna's new Cascading Butterflies die cuts a gorgeous outline of a whole cluster of sweet butterflies and also produces a bunch of little butterflies. I layered the smaller book page butterfly, which I inked with Indigo Mix'd Media Inx® over a slightly larger one cut from a manilla folder and inked with Butternut Mix'd Media Inx® CHOX.

Here you can see the background nicely. I adhered a piece of patterned paper to the clothespin and brushed it with clear gesso. Then I mixed Donna's Blue, Rose, and Silver Pigment Powders into Whipped Spackle which I applied to the background with a floral stencil. I misted with Donna's Caramel Latte Clearsnap® Smooch Spritz. I also added a little splatter with white drawing ink.

Here I'm wearing my adhesive on the outside by covering Donna's 3D Foam Swirl with her Clearsnap® Twinkle Dust Glitter. To darken and grunge it up a bit, I brushed on Caramel Latte and Sea Breeze Smooch Spritz.

I painted these chipboard letters with a coat of white gesso, then brushed with Donna's blue and silver pigment powders mixed with matte medium. I mixed them separately, then lightly stirred the two colors together so there would be color variations on the letters. I heat set, then dry brushed very lightly with gesso.

One final shot.

I hope you've been inspired to grab your stash of Donna's supplies

and create a girlie grunge mixed media project.

Girlie Grunge Christmas Card by Tracey Sabella

Hi everyone, it's Tracey back with another girlie grunge project to share with you today.

Christmas is just around the corner, so I decided to get a jump start on my Christmas cards, pairing Donna's fabulous products with the Dear Santa paper collection by PhotoPlay.

One of the things I adore about using Donna's products is that they are so versatile. There seems to be no end to the cool things you can create with them. Need a Christmas tree? No problem - cut it out of her Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® burlap ribbon from the Texture Ribbons pack. Want to color it green? Grab her Clearsnap® Evergreen Smooch Spritz and brush it onto the burlap tree!! Here's my card. I share close-ups with all the creative details in my Tips and Techniques section below.

Tips and Techniques

Here's the tree I mentioned. I simply cut it from Donna's burlap ribbon. I cut out the tree shape and placed it on an Adhesive Sheet by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®, then trimmed around it, peeled off the backing and placed it on the card. This is a perfect way to hold those grungy frayed edges in place.

As I was creating, decided that I wanted my tree to be green so I spritzed some Evergreen Smooch Spritz onto my craft mat with a little water and brushed it across the burlap - the perfect color for a Christmas tree.

For the snow on the tree, I randomly spread Donna's Clearsnap® Emboss Gloss, then sprinkled with her Clearsnap® Jasmine Mix'd Media Inx Embossing Powder and heat set.

I spread a few of Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® E-Z Stars across my non-stick craft mat, then rubbed her gold Pigment powder (also by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®) across them to get this shimmery gold color. I lifted the colored stars with a metal palette knife to move them to the tree.

The music note rose bud is die cut with Donna's Spellbinders® Rose Creations dies. I cut two of the smallest rose petal sections, forming a bud in the center. I cut a snippet of Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Lace Ribbon to layer under the bud. They are held in place using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Medium DODZ™.

I've embellished this darling Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® 3D Foam Snowflake with Donna's Clearsnap® products. First I very lightly sprinkled one side with Donna's Jasmine Mix'd Media Inx Embossing Powder, then sprinkled a bit of her Sugar Shimmer Twinkle Dust Glitter. Be sure to tap off any excess before heat setting, or you just might have glitter flying everywhere. I just adore the texture of the embossing powder paired with the shimmer of this super fine glitter.

I layered pieces of Dear Santa Cozy Up and Let it Snow paper and tucked Donna's sweet lace into the layers. The sentiment is also from the Dear Santa Element Sticker sheet. The edges are lightly distressed using the edge of my scissors blade and then inked with Donna's Stormy Mix'd Media Inx.

I've also splattered the background, including the tree with white drawing ink from my stash.

I thought I'd also share a shot of the inside of the card. If you look carefully, you'll see I tucked a piece of Donna's organza lace from her Textured Ribbons pack between the layers. The sentiment is stamped with Donna's Midnight Mix'd Media CHOX Inx.

I hope you've been inspired to add wonderful texture and

color to your next card project with Donna's fabulous products!

Autumn Card by Elena Olinevich

Hello crafty people. I am enjoying the Fall season. My favorite time for sure.

And today I made a card to share with you, inspired by autumn colors.

So I started with creating my background using 2 different textures - Donna's Burlap and Organza Ribbons by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®.

To Fix Organza in the middle and to hide its edges I used Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® E-Z Dots Repositionable, as I have been trying ti find the best place for it.

After that step I took burlap ribbon and removed some threads from it. Note: you will need those threads later.

Then I started making the wreath and pull over the treads too.

After I had added some embellishments it looks like this.

So I added Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® gold and brown Pigment Powders.

The powder tones are almost of the same color as the embellishments on the card.

I've added a simple sentiment and here you've got a fall card.

Enjoy your days -

Elena

"Embrace Messy Hair" by Donna

Hello my peeps! Today I've got a new #QuickCraftTips video for you on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® blog. This is a new video for my #donnasgarden flower technique series. Below I've got a few close ups of the layout that the flower was made for.

Before I get started I wanted to mention that my new products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L are NOW AVAILABLE on the website!!! You can check them out here: Donna Salazar with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®

I used my new canvas Pennant Set, Lace Ribbons, Texture Ribbons, Canvas Ribbons and Pigment Powder.

In the photo above you can see a close up of the dot pattern that I created using my Pigment Powder and E-Z Dots® Permanent Runner from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®

I used my Mix'd Media Inx CHOX from Clearsnap® The Makers of Colorbox® to stamp the title, Ink the edges of the word strips, the circles and also ink the rolled edges of the background paper.
