On Wednesday, I showed you a peek at the spinner container Deflecto sent each of us.

The spinner has 6 small containers and 3 large ones

Here's how it looks now!

A fun, easy project and it looks completely different!

Using and ink blusher, I applied layers of StazOn inks

The orange ones used Orange Zest, St. Valentine, Claret, and Spiced Chai
The green ones used Cactus Green, Emerald City and Spiced Chai

The bunnies and grass are part of Cling Backyard Bunnies, CRS5085
The bunnies were stamped with Spiced Chai, the grass with Emerald City

Don't forget to color the base too!

I have beads, buttons and small embellishments in the smaller containers

The large containers are perfect for ribbon pieces 

We hope you've enjoyed our creations this week! Here's our list of designers for today:

Deflecto Craft is also having a prize drawing so be sure to stop by their blog! 

Deflecto graciously provided each designer with two of their great frames, and a storage spinner that is awesome! Keep stopping by to see what we create with them each day.

Today I am sharing another great Deflecto frame. This one has a black edge all around the frame to really set off whatever you put in the opening. Yesterday I shared three of my favorite spring flowers and today I'm sharing another, a species peony. If you know about peonies, you probably think of the huge double peonies that bloom around Memorial Day, but a species peony has huge beautiful single petals and gorgeous yellow centers.  I love them!

"Spring Beauties"

• Tape the Tall Daisies Stencil (DWLL549) to one side of the frame with removable tape
• Use a palette knife to apply Regular Embossing Paste, remove and clean the stencil, let paste dry
• Flip the stencil over the opposite direction and tape to the other edge of the frame
• Paste the flower on that side and let dry
• Place the clean dry stencil back over the dry paste and use 1/4" stencil brushes to apply Radiant Neon inks to the pasted flower (use the Picasso Stencil DWLL332 to keep colors clean)
• Use a palette knife to apply some Matte Black Embossing Paste along the bottom edge of the frame, sprinkle the wet paste with aged spice embossing enamel, heat set

Welcome Spring!

I just love Spring, longer days, warmer weather, nature coming alive!

Last week my Snowdrops made their appearance, a sure sign of Spring!

Then these sweet little Crocus appeared!

But one of my favorite stages of Spring is when the Daffodils start making an appearance. Then you really know it's Spring!

Today I am using one of the 5" x 7" craft frames I received to display some photos I took of my Daffodils last year (they're not quite blooming yet this year). I like that you can easily switch the placement of the pegs to have either a horizontal or vertical frame.

"Welcome Spring!"

The frame comes apart quickly by unscrewing the silver pegs. It makes it super easy to decorate. I used two other signs of spring on my frame front: the sweet Bird on the Branch Stencil (DWLS94) and the beautiful Nest Flourish Stencil (DWLL587).

• Simply tape the stencils to the frame front with removable tape
• Use a palette knife to apply Matte Black Embossing Paste (DWDMBP) over the designs
• Remove the stencils, place in water for cleaning
• let the paste dry, so easy!

Nest Flourish Stencil

Bird on the Branch Stencil

Another great addition to my Craft Room!

See that great accessory container to the side of my frame? It's from Deflecto too. Be sure to come back on Friday to see how it's changed! Tomorrow I'll be sharing my other frame with another of my favorite Spring flowers.
