More Chic Than Shabby

Genevieve Speegle
I love the shabby chic lifestyle! 
It makes me feel all warm and squishy just walking through an Anthropologie shop!  I run my hands along the silky soft quilts and smell the sweet fragrance of roses on each paper and twine wrapped soap. 
Working on shabby chic inspired greeting cards makes me feel that way too.  It gives me the cottage fix I’m looking for from time to time.  I love to see the way that a person’s eyes seem to soften and a tiny sigh escapes when holding one of my pink, glittery greetings.  That’s the feeling I want to inspire.
Stop by my Etsy shop to see all these fun, whimsical greetings, plus lots more! These are perfect for any occasion and are also great for framing (this one would make a lovely gift in a shadow box).

Cost of the class is $25 and includes all the materials needed (please bring the basics: scissors, a strong adhesive (such as Zip Dry), pop-dots and a file).

Would you like to make the cards, but don’t have the time to come into the store for the class?

Kits are now available!!

When you call to reserve the class, just mention that you’d like the kit only and I’ll be sure to have it ready for you (along with pictures and detailed instructions for your convenience). Just pick it up and scrap at your leisure!!

How to Make Frou Frou Cupcake Toppers

Genevieve Speegle
These are some cupcake toppers that I made for a recent birthday party.  They are SUPER easy and were a huge success.  I saw all the ladies leaving with them in their purses.  🙂
Here are some quick directions, along with the JPEG sheet I made, if you’d like to make some for your next party.
Supplies needed:
*scissors
*glue gun
*collage images
*glitter paint
*rhinestones
*craft ribbon (I found some in the wrapping paper section at Michaels)
*card stock
*lollipop sticks (can be found in the chocolate making section of the craft store)
 
I first cut each image out and added glitter glue and a rhinestone to each gown.
Then, I accordion folded the craft ribbon and glued it to the back of each image (this is the most time consuming of the entire process.  You have to go slow when gluing around the back edge.)
I cut squares out of card stock with my Cricut and glued them to the back so that the piece would be sturdy.  Finally, I added some glue inside one of the bottom folds and inserted the stick.  Easy as pie!
This is a great craft because there are so many variations you can use.  Find your favorite digital collage or image and you can create any themed party you want!
For more fun JPEG images, please be sure to stop by my Collage Crazy Etsy shop and happy crafting!
