Vintage Monogram Decor

 

This is the 2nd part of my gift for my friend Allison, check yesterday's post if you missed the first monogram gift. This is a pretty large wooden 'A' I found a Winners. It's painted black and has sanded edges, so I thought I would add my personal touch by gluing the First Edition DSP on the front.Then to give it a vintage look I roughed up the edges, sponged with Soft Suede ink,  and spritzed some Log Cabin Smooch Spritz.

 I then made a flower with the Timeless Portrait Designer Fabric and Paper by cutting it out with the Fun Flowers Die on the Big Shot. I used one of the  Beveled Windowpanes and stamped the 'love life, live life' sentiment from the You're A Gem stamp set to go behind it. Other embellies include Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding ribbon, Victoria Crochet Trim, Raven Lace Trim, Trinket Crowns, Linen Thread and some black feathers.

Now I need to make myself one of these!

Spice Cake Monogram Decor

So as you probably noticed, I am a huge fan of making monogrammed decor... so here's part 1 of the birthday gift I made for my friend Allison. She LOVES the Spice Cake line, so I used the Designer series paper, Fabric and Button! This is a wooden 'A' you can find at any craft store. I traced it onto the designer paper then cut it out and glued it onto the wood, did a little sponging around the edges too. The little 'friends' tag is from Tiny Tags stamp set and punched out with the Jewlery Tag punch, pinned on with a Vintage Trinket safety pin.

Check back tomorrow for part 2 of her gift!
I wanted to keep it myself! But 'A' isn't my initial...LOL

Timeless Portrait Monogram Decor

 

 Monogram Decor is a big trend right now, and I've been wanting to make some for awhile... But as much as I'd love this for myself, it's actually for my mom! Happy Birthday!! Sorry for spoiling it for you, but since I'm so bad at mailing things on time, figured I give you a peek! 

I used Timeless Portrait DSP to cover the 'M' , as well as First Edition DSP for the flower...cut on the Big Shot with the Fun Flowers die. Also assorted ribbons, Trinket Keys, designer button, Baker's Twine and some sponging with Basic Black ink.

Happy Birthday Mommy!!
