VIntage Emporium and New Flowers from Prima

I created this hot air balloon for CHA.  I used the new Vintage Emporium Collection, some new Prima Flowers and of course, Prima Doily Dies!  It was such a fun project to create.  Of course, it's always fun to create when you have brand spankin' now products that are so fabulous!!!

There was a reason that I used the dies, too!  My balloon is layered doily dies that I paper mached around a balloon.  (I used a layer of tissue paper for the first layer.)  There are lots of openings that allowed me to use Prima Lumies tucked in so it would light up.  I was super happy with the way it turned out.  The Lumies are threaded from the bottom through the straws and into the balloon.  To turn it on, all you have to do is turn it over and give the Lumies a twist. 

You can see some of the lovely new Prima glittered flowers in this photo.  I used both new and old things that I loved to embellish it.

The banner and the 'basket' were made from the new Vintage Emporium papers.

NEW PRIMA Rub-ons and Foils

MORE beautiful products from Prima!  The new rub-ons and foils from Christine Adolph are AMAZING!!!  

I could seriously use these on everything!!  

This is a charger that I had laying around here.  I was able to use some of the new foils, summer release dies and of course beautiful new Prima Flowers to make this piece to set out in my home.

 

The rub-ons are really easy to use.  They apply almost effortlessly and the foil goes on like a dream! In addition to beautiful images, there are also so many words and phrases to use on your projects.  Trust me... you are going to LOVE these!!

 

I put the rub-ons on transparency paper and then cut out the pieces to add some dimension to my project.  It worked so well!  

Be sure to go by the Prima blog to see what the other designers have created.  We have been sticking these things to everything!!  They are so beautiful, you just can't help yourself!

NEW PRIMA! IOD Moulds, Paper Clay and Stamps

I knew that I would love being on Prima's team and I do!  Seeing the CHA releases and getting them in the mail was such a fun thing!  One of my favorite parts of this release was the new IOD Moulds and Paperclay.  (I honestly can't pick one favorite!)

I think that in addition to being so lovely, my favorite part about the moulds is that they can be used again and again!  

For this piece, I started with the IOD Wooden Plaque.  I used some of the beautiful new stamps to frame the outside and stamped on Prima Watercolor paper to create the base for the inside.  

I then used the paper clay for the center and added detail to the top and bottom, too.  It is so easy to color!!  I used a bit of Bloom Spray and paint to add some details.  So easy and sits beautifully on the molded pieces.

I added ribbon and micro beads to give the appearance of them spilling out of the vase.  AND.... did you see those flowers?  Of course, they are new, too!
 

 

 There are SO MANY different pieces and possibilities with these products!  I can't wait to use them again and again!!  

Be sure to go by the Prima Blog to see what the other designers have done!  The ideas are seriously endless, so you don't want to miss it!
