Hello Crafty Folks..

Today I am on The element Craft studio blog with a very useful project - A pine wood heavy duty nameplate with a slot to add plants or collect your milk and newspaper.

For this,  I used the bubble gum pink chalk paint from Anra crafts and gave it a distressed along with adding some portions of stenciling.

The corners I used the metal findings,  book corners to give it a very vintage finish as well as protect the edges.

This welcome chipboard is a very beautiful and intricately cut pattern from the chipboard collection from Anra Crafts.

Added our family name along with Metal Home embellishment to finish the top.

The panels I distressed with black archival ink from ranger. 

How do you like it?

Here is the list of all the materials used to make this nameplate.

Handyman for Letters

Hi all dear crafty lovers, today i am going to share the tutorial of vintage letter rack. 

Another wonderful DIY base from TECS… TECS bases are beautiful  and at the same time very useful too. Stylish and sturdy wall mounted mail organizer with two pockets , provides great convenience and functionality to keep your mail, letters, small documents and catalogs etc in one place with easy accessibility. Let's start with the list of material we need to create this project-

Chalk Paint (Soft Sun, Brown Chalk Paint, Barley Green , Vintage Golden)

Mod Podge

Bordure 15*10"

Vintage Knob Style Brads

crackle medium

Mail Organizer

To start the project, first i applied the barley green chalk paint on the back piece of the organizer. After drying the base color i applied crackle medium on that and then painted soft sun chalk paint as the top coat. I just wanted to give the feel of crackle effect , so did not use very contrasting colors.

For the front rack pieces , I applied mod podge on the surface and covered the surface with TECS bordure decoupage paper.  I gave distress effect with archival brown ink on the sides .

After drying the mod podge, I applied varnish on the front rack peices. Then I have used golden color outline tube to highlight some lines of the paper designs and decorated it with wooden cutout and metal vintage knob. I also colored the ball chain in brown color and stick that to give the border design to the flap pieces.

To give the back piece little darker effect, I did dabbing with brown color. Then I  assembled all the pieces together.

To give the final touches to my project, i applied brown color distress effect on the sides of the organizer and decorate it with resin embellishments. 

For resin embellishments, first I applied the gesso on the pieces and then color with brown chalk paint and gave some highlight with golden color.  I hope, you all will like the project. 

Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. all suggestions and reviews are welcome. Thank you for reading my blog. HAPPY CRAFTING to all crafty lovers.

Thanks,

Time Travelling

Hi All,

This is Rimjhim from The Element Craft Studio. Today I am here with my another project : Shadow box

Here is a glimpse of my Project.

Materials used:

Shadow box

Time travel paper pack

Tanned tone chalk paint

Mod Podge

Wooden embellisments

Flowers

Step1: I took the raw base from TECS. As mentioned in my previous post, the bases are already smooth and well sanded. So I directly applied gesso as the first layer.

Step2: After applying gesso, I colored the entire project with tanned tone chalk paint mixed with burnt sienna acrylic paint.

Step 3: Once the base was ready, I decoupaged the travel theme paper pack from TECS. I must say, paper pack is just awesome. Lovely prints and amazing designs.

Step 4: After doing decoupage, I collected all my accessories, paper cuts, embellishments, metal charms and flower to decorate my shadow box as per my requirements.

and here it is....

I hope you like it. Do share your feedback and let me know if you have any questions or queries.

Summer's Shabby Moon

Hello April 

Welcome to the bright and colorful summers . This is the season of holidays and thus a lot of travel and outdoors.

This month at The Element Craft Studio is about Summers in Shabby Chic style. Do participate in this months challenge, using any TECS products and win some cool prizes.

So, this is my take on this month's challenge for you to get inspired.

A shabby chic moon shadow box with the quote Live love laugh. I included some travel charms to go with my decor. Material used from TECS:---

Moon Shadow Box

Chalk Paint - bubble gum

Chalk paint- bloomed sun

Chalk paint - meadow yellow

Stencil- Distress Strips

Glitter - Grass fields

Glitter - lavender

Stripes Stencil

Bordure Flaure Decoupage Papers

Sentiments with Arrows

Metal Charms

So, to get started.. I have taken this beautiful base and stenciled and added texture on top to give it some dimension.

Later I painted it in the yellow colors. These are the beautiful shades of newly launched chalk paints from Anra Crafts, the sister concern of TECS. The chalk paints are if great pigmentation and coverage. These are really buttery...

Now I have taken the decoupage paper with these beautiful flower bunch and fussy cut and embossed them to add it to the frame.

Later I took these sentiment with arrow chipboard and added the beautiful shimmers in the colors pink and green.. So it is all blended together.

Now in the empty spaces I added some metal embellishments and fussy cut travel theme pictures to go with the theme.

I hope you enjoyed looking into this beautiful and bright shabby chic shadow frame.
