Hello Crafty Friends

I recently finished this wardrobe style album with the most beautiful paper by Stamperia 
Alice In Wonderland..  

All the hangers were first coated in gesso as this will help to prime your surface. 
I added some paint then around the edges along with lace & some paper elements that I had cut out from the paper pad. It is quite easy to create interest on these hangers using flaps, pockets & tags..

I used soft clay from prima to make  flowers form Finnabair’s mould & I added these to the rails.
The rail was finished off In patina colours & gold wax was used to enhance & highlight. 

Products used were from Prima, Stamperia, Scrapiniec, Finnabair. 















Hello Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing with you my first Christmas Album,  the theme is Post Box !
  • Once you assemble all the pieces together you then need to use gesso to prime your base.
  • Once dry you can then apply your colour and  texture paste if using. 
  • Attach all the embellishments using soft gel & heavy body gel for heavier items. 
  • Apply your final colour of paint, I used a sponge to apply the paint it also helped to give the textured finish to the album. Let it dry before the next step.









  • Finally apply some wax to highlight certain areas. 
  • Use a soft gel media to apply beads, glitter glass & glitter if using. 
  • For the inside of the album I used Stamperia Old Christmas paper, I distressed & stained the edges of the paper.
  • Use some lace & other embellishments to add interest & texture. 


Products Used
  • Finnabair white gesso, soft Matt gel, heavy body gel
  • Impasto paints
  • Glitter glass, beads, glitter
  • Finnabair waxes

Stamperia Album
A mix of old & new paper was used on this project. 
I loved creating the old vintage effects, using stamps & inks.
Chipboard, flowers, ribbon & lace all add to the effect.  
This album was inspired by Dorota !

















Hello Crafters,
Today I decided to tackle an mdf suitcase style project.







I used Finnabair tissue paper with soft Matt gel,
I applied it an the inside & outside of the box.
Next I used texture paste to give some depth & detail.
Acrylic paint was used to bring the colour together & to give the
the appearance of a vintage look. I used stamps with archival ink &
Placed these randomly around the box both inside & out.
I finished it off using Finnabair waxes in different colours.

Hello crafters,  I hope you are all keeping well in this cold, damp weather that we are having, especially in Ireland.  Below I have ...
