Message in a Bottle and Romantic Box by DT Member Suzie Crafter

Good morning friends Suzie here today to share with you my next project for Shabby is Chic Boutique.

 

 



I've altered a blue box that I had from perfume lining it with muslin on the outside, and lining the inside of the top with SBC's blue lace trim, and ruffling the outside giving the lace a flimsy yet romantic kind of look using SBC's Embroidered Flower Lace Tulle in cream, lining the top outside of the box with White Flat Back Pearl Trim from the shop.

 

 

The Glass Tubes were from Michaels. I've never altered those before so I thought these would make great "messages in a bottle presents"! I've altered the glass tubes with some vintage lace from my stash, adding a dangling cream colored tassel to two of them then made one tassel from the White Fringe Trim, Luxury Lace Pearl Beaded Trim and the Rhinestone Cup-Chain Trim all from SBC's store giving the messages in a bottle just a romantic feel to them!

 

I've also added some pearl strand, handmade seam binding bows in cameo beige that were crinkled, a wired ribbon in gold, a few handmade pretty pearl and crystal stick pins and a few mulberry paper flowers to give it a romantic flair! Lastly, I crinkled some paper then etched it with Vintage Photo ink by Ranger, and wrote a love note in there for my husband. These are fun and great little projects to make using products from Shabby is Chic Boutique. 

 

 

I hope that you've enjoyed seeing this project as much as I've enjoyed making them. If you'd like to see them in full detail, there will be a YouTube video at my 'suziecrafter10' channel.

Shabby Chic Heart Sachets & Handmade Flowers by DT Member Suzie Crafter

Hello friends, Suzie Crafter here today with my latest project for Shabby is Chic Boutique on Facebook.

 

Today I have created two heart sachets from the Fat Quarter Fabric "D" from the SCB store. I used pinking shears to cut the edges of the cotton hoping for a frayed look. The sachets are stuffed with fiber fill and hand sewn. I've also added the pink bridal applique with the silver threading on the base of the heart along with a few pearls and a flat back pearl flower from the shop.

 

 

  I made two flowers, by hand, adding the white scallop dangle lace behind the flower to make it appear larger. The flower-center was made from an altered button covered with the "D" fat quarter cotton fabric.

 

 

 

  Lastly, I added the white fringe trim to the base of the flower giving it some interest and movement. Both flip sides of the sachets have a seam binding bow on them to coordinate with the flowers on the front.

Shabby Altered Dress Form by DT Member Suzie

Hello Suzie Crafter here today to share with you my shabby altered dress form.

I have altered a dress form using the following items from Shabby is Chic Boutique Store on Facebook.

 

 

 

I made the bodice of the Pink Embroidered lace by ruffling out the neckline. Adding the Folded Lace Trim in the Blush color around the waist of the dress form to give it a skirted look. I belted the rhinestone cup-chain and flat back pearl trim as a belted effect a trimming up the both sides with seam binding bows.

 

 

  Lastly, to give in a little shabby old world style, I added a separate piece for the outer skirt tale to fluff over the skirt using the embroidered floral lace trim!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! You can find more information on this project in my video below.

Pretty Baby Girl Ensemble by DT Member Suzie Crafter

 

Good morning friends, Suzie Crafter here today with my pretty baby girl ensemble, made with lots of Shabby is Chic Boutique items!

 

 

For this project, I've designed and altered a pair of leather baby booties. They were painted pink and altered with the pearl finish pink embroidered lace. I then used the white braided trim, which accented the shoe, and the pear shaped flat back rhinestone from SCB. I used some marabou boa  seam binding and white pearl trim from my stash to finish it off.

They truly are adorable!

 

 

 

For lace as the embroidered flower tulle for the base, and added the white bow tie organza flower applique as the tie off to the book.  I used some seam binding on both sides, trimming the book with the flat back pearls in pink and white, then adorned with one of my handmade roses and a 3" Rolled Satin Ivory Rose from the store!

 

 

 

Lastly, for the pouch, I've created this pouch by altering a muslin bag that was sent to me by Amy with products inside. I thought it would be fun to alter so I added the embroidered flower tulle lace to the base of the bag and then ruffled out the 2" pink scalloped lace trim. That trim was just perfect as it is beautiful and stiff enough to stand out ruffled!

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and please check out all the gorgeous items in the Shabby is Chic Boutique Store on Facebook.

"Extravaganza" Victorian Accessories for the Queen Marie Antoinette by Suzie Crafter

"Extravaganza"

Victorian Accessories for the Queen Marie Antoinette By Suzie Crafter
for Shabby is Chic Boutique on Facebook

 

 



I have created a beautiful Victorian Ensemble of Accessories for the Queen which are as follows:

The Queens Crown

All my items are handmade and lined with taffeta fabric inside, then covered with the beautiful wide Ivory Lace Bridal Trim. I accented  with the rhinestone cup-chain and beautiful rhinestone pear shape embellishment adorned with stunning flat back pearl and rhinestone metal embellishments.



The Queens Tiara for the Ball

I made this with Venice Lace placing the rhinestone cup-chain across the top of the tiara and adding flat back pearl & rhinestone trim. I trimmed with a center metal flower of rhinestones.
 



The Queen can never go anywhere without her Evening Bag!

I've created an evening bag made of felt, an overlay on top of ivory taffeta adding ivory appliques, rhinestone cup-chain, and a center metal pearl button for the closure, adding elegance and beauty.



However if she's walking through the garden of flowers, and it starts to drizzle or its to sunny...she's going to need her Parasol Umbrella that I also created!

 

Along with this ensemble, she has a full face Venetian Masquerade Ball Mask!

This mask is covered with the white bridal trim and is just gorgeous. I've decided to accent the face with pear shaped rhinestones to act as tears running down one side of her face using the cup-chain in all of the areas that are flourished and round the mask on top of the braided trim.  I also used the small organza white rosebuds from the shoppe with the rhinestone center and the flat back rhinestone pearl trim around the eyes.  The face is covered with handmade silk rosebuds and a few larger cabbage roses adding a large feather center with pearls and crystals from my own stash.

 



A "Mini Top-Hat and Fingerless Victorian Gloves" for the perfect evening out!

Again, both items were made completely from scratch and embellished with the shoppe's laces gems, buttons and rhinestone trim!

 



I hope that you've enjoyed this Extravaganza that I've designed as part of my Designer Project for Amy's Shabby is Chic Boutique! To see it "LIVE" please go to my video link on YouTube.

Bridal Heart Pillow by DT Member Suzie

Good morning all, Suzie here today to share my next DT project for Shabby is Chic Boutique on Facebook. This time I have created a lovely and shabby bridal pillow.  This heart is 11 inches wide and 8 inches tall making it a beautiful size for a bride or shower gift!

 

 

 

To start off my project, I  created a very large heart from scratch. The base is made from my personal template with cotton fabric, hand sewn and stuffed. I've used a large piece of white fabric lace from the SCB store over top front and back for a finished look.

 

 

 Using some vintage laces around the heart, I've hand ruffed the entire trim adding the pearl and rhinestone trim as the accent. I've also used some of the narrow trim lace along with seam binding to create the double bow at the bottom center.

 

 

 I made two taffeta fabric roses in off white, and used one flat rosette of the same fabric. Then I added three large mulberry paper roses and some of my loose pears from my stash.

 

 

  Lastly, I added the gorgeous heart flat back hearts with the rhinestone accent from the SCB store as well. The heart has streamers of ribbon and pearl at the base for a finishing touch!   This is the my personal signature style of how I do my heart pillows and sachets!
