Prima Marketing - Flowers Flowers Flowers, projects and Video



Flowers, Flowers, Flowers - we all just love them. 
Hello.  Jennifer Snyder here to share some of the beautiful new release flowers  from Prima Marketing. I know we all hold our breath and anxiously await the new release of flowers from Prima each January.    I am presenting two projects I created with some new releases. 

First up is a tag with a video showing how I put it together. 


This tag is a reminder to try and dedicate a little time each day to kick our shoes and boots off, let our hair down and just relax.   The Julie Nutting doll stamp I used is going to relax by hopping in the Ingvild Bolme Shabby Chic Treasures Antique Tub...lucky gal. 

 I know that there are some folks who want to know how to create the doll stamps.  The video shows this step by step.  

and from the Prima Blog:





The doll clothing and tag background were created using the Free Spirit collection layered over Prima's new wooden ATC.

Next project is a 9"x12" canvas with a little woodsy feel.   I was actually inspired by the copper colored  Ivy Bay Invincible Leaves.   I used the leaves as my jumping point. 

I didn't have a photo to use with the colors I needed so I created my own focal point using  Prima Paintables 813963.   I colored it with Ingvild Bolme Chalk Edgers and a paint brush and a little dab of water. 

Here is a photo of how I created the background of the canvas.  I cut strips of paper and applied a light coat of super heavy gesso.

OTP March Flying Unicorns - featuring FabScraps French Heritage Collection


Flying Unicorns Kit of the Month for March "Off the Page Project" with FabScraps
We are so excited to bring you our March 2014 Kit of the Month.
Each month, the Kit of the Month contains a cool easy "off the Page Project".  The INCLUDED off the page project this month is a simple wooden box.   It had a clasp for closing  on it but I took that off and replaced it with a vintage style ornate clasp. 

I have attached step by step instructions to explain my steps in completing this project. 

The before and after shots of the completed project are always fun to see.  

The lace I used was leftover from a previous kit of the month (Feb) that I felt was perfect here.  I actually took the clasp off first, added the lace, then replaced with the new clasp.  This way the box looks a little more polished.  It's all in the details!


The clasp was originally antique gold in appearance but simply did not match the papers.  The FabScraps French Heritage papers are stunning with a cool tone.  I took some Rub N Buff Antique White wax rub   and rubbed it on the clasp.  Then I rubbed it on the metal adornments as well.     

The Flying Unicorns March kit is filled with creative goodies that will excite.  Grab one before it's gone.
The monthly kits are only available on a first come first served basis. CLICK HERE - to get yours now.  Last month they sold out in a day.  No monthly kit obligations required.

Prima Julie Nutting Doll Stamps and Jodie Lee's Princess Collection - Altered Princess Armoire closet ( Necklace Closet)

Two Great Prima Collections rolled into one Project:  Jodie Lee's Princess Collection and Julie Nutting's Doll stamps

 From the moment I saw the new Princess collection by Jodie Lee, I was hooked.  I needed to create some kind of Princess piece, something, not sure what.  Then I laid eyes on Julie Nutting's new doll stamp and an idea flooded into my head.

As a child I loved paper dolls.  It was my favorite gift for many years. I'd  design my own clothing and cut them out.  Truthfully, I am no clothes designer but I sure had hours and hours of busy cut work back then.  It's no wonder I still love paper and can still spend hours cutting it.

So doll clothes it is!   Though this time I had expert help from Julie Nutting and Jodie Lee.  It's fun to indulge this part of my life again with doll clothes.  I created a doll closet for her wardrobe , a Doll Armoire.  I used an old necklace closet/jewelry closet that I found at a thrift store and altered it.  For the ridiculously fun price of $4.99, this closet had to come home with me and get a grand makeover, Prima style.

I made the clothes hangers from the new Prima wire thread.  Cool stuff and I can see many doll dresses in my future all hung neatly in this darling little closet.

You can see the new Shabby Chic Treasures by Ingvild Bolme tucked behind my Princess.  It's a sweet little settee love seat for when my princess needs to rest a spell.  Oh Prima has thought of it all.  My closet door pulls are also new from Ingvild Bolme.
My beautiful princess dress was made from the ATC cards from the new Princess collection. Some of the ATC cards are very ornate so I took advantage of them to gussy up her dress.

Here is a close  up of my doll clothes.  I used some of Julie's stamps and cut off the body parts.  They still have sass and attitude on the hanger.

I also hung some glittered tulle and pearl strands in the armoire.  Every princess should have a walk in "glam" closet with an uplifting and positive message reminding her she is beautiful inside and out.  A message we all need to remember.
This is a photo of one of the doors - adorned with Ingvild's new resin angels (573546 Prima Resin Angels) as well as flowers and chipboard from the Princess collection and Prima's wire thread. 



Thanks for  looking.  You are going to love the new Prima releases, from the Julie Nutting stamps to the Ingvild Bolme embellishments and the Princess Collection by Jodie Lee.
