Magical Unicorn Carousel by Betty A.

Good morning everyone, Betty here today with my next project for Shabby is Chic Boutique on Zibbet.

 

This truly was a fun project to create. What better way to show case Shabby Chic trims from Amy's store than a shabby carousel featuring the trendy unicorns. I have created a short video to show how the carousel works!

 

 

 

I started out using 2 styro foam round disc measuring 1-3/16in x 8-7/8 inches for the center measuring 7-5/8 in. Using my Cricut, I cut out a 10 inch circle for the roof of the carousel. After covering the paper towel roll, attach it to the bottom and the top of the styro foam base.

 

 

 

  Lastly, glue on the roof for the carousel.

Oh and I can't forget that I used a 7inch Turntable to make it move!

 

 

I used an array of trims from the SCB store, and I hope you will pop over to the Zibbet Shop and get some for yourself.

 

I hope you have found some inspiration here today!

Thanks for stopping by, have a magical day!

 

 

 



Shabby Loaded Envelope by GDT Betty

 

Hello, Betty here today and I'm super excited to share my first GDT project for Shabby is Chic Boutique on Zibbet. Loaded envelopes are all the rage right now. So, I decided to create my very first shabby chic loaded envelope!

 

 

The base of my loaded envelope came from a 9 3/4 by 12 1/4 photo document mailer. It is perfect because it is very sturdy and you can really stuff it with goodies. This is an awesome alternative for creating the LE. My creative process was simple. I just cut off the flap of the mailer and started the magic.

 

 

 

The designer paper I used is called Bella Rose. Next, I used the beautiful embroidered sequined trim for the front fold down design. I used the mini foam rose that I painted with a light pink acrylic paint followed by Martha Stewart glitter. The foam rose is accented with pieces from the embroidered mesh with hearts.

 

I also used the pink tulle trim and the heart trim from Shabby is Chic Boutique, for the back pocket of the LE.

 

 

 

 

I also used the folded tulle pink trim layered with the heart trim for the two front pockets. Lastly, I used the embroidered sequined trim at the bottom of the LE and on the back.

 

 

Thank you I had so much fun creating my first loaded envelope!
