Today on the blog Steph Devlin will be sharing a few of her beautiful projects, showing fun ways to work with Prima's patterned papers and Shabby chic resins
............................................................................
Hi friends, Steph Devlin here, just wanting to share some projects that I have been working on using the new releases from Prima Marketing.
I created this layout for the most recent CHA, using the beautiful Pixie Glen Line, and custom coloring the large Fleur De Lys flowers with Glimmermist. I sprayed these delicate flowers with Chalkboard Mists, because I love the chalky shabby chic finish those colors give the flowers.
This second layout shows the diversity of the Printery Patterned Papers and how with a little bit of color, black can showcase beautifully any color or B&W photographs that you have. You will find that if you use a color frame, the colors within will just seem to merge and flow onto the photo mat whereas a black frame will contain the image so it doesn't allow the eye to wander. Black also seems to that provides perfect base to showcase a pop of color - as you can see from the hybrid flowers just under the balloon.
For this third project I just grabbed a shabby chic teapot that I have have been wanting to alter for while. (It goes perfectly with the tea & cup project I altered last month). I love finding shabby chic household items and altering them with Prima's beautiful flowers, trinkets, pearls and other findings. The stunning crown trinket was just perfect for the lid, and just seem to finish off the project.
I love playing with shapes, and the hexagon is such a interesting shape to create with. Shapes are so visually stunning grouped together in multiple numbers, and the Pixie Glen soft colors and rose images seem to balance the harshness of the lines that make up the shape of the hexagon.
I hope you have enjoyed this post as much as I loved making these projects for you - Steph xo

Today on the blog Stacy Cohen will be sharing stylish Halloween projects, using Prima's newest Halloween Vines and spooky Bat embellishments.
...................................................................................................................................................
Hi everyone! Stacy Cohen here. Halloween is just a few days away, so I wanted to share a couple spooky projects I created. First up is a mask I made using some of Prima’s new Halloween goodies. A black glitter-coated mask will provide for the perfect disguise when the ghosts and goblinscome a-calling.
Supplies used:
No witch would be properly dressed without a pair of shoes like these:
I made these using a paper shoe template I created a while back. You can find the tutorial and link to the template on my blog here: Stacy Cohen’s shoe template
I altered the template slightly to make these shoes a bit pointier . . . perfectly fit for a witch!
Supplies used:
I’ll leave you with one not-so-spooky project. Here’s a layout I made using a mix of products from different collections:
Have a wonderful day!!

Join us for a fairytale adventure Prima-style all created by our talented designer: Heidi Kelley!
...................................................................................
Hi friends! It's that time of year again... everywhere that I look I see enchanting colors and little ones getting caught up in the magic within the air.
Around my house, I have had 10 years of girlish, whimsy each Halloween and I think that those times are beginning to end. (My girls are beginning to enter their tweens and soon my boys will begin their dressing up journey! I am guessing that the days of butterflies, fairies, and princesses will be over, lol.) So when my youngest daughter asked me to make her into the most "beautiful of all fairies" for this year's festivities, I was extremely excited!
Creating this costume could not have been easier, especially when it came to making her crown and adorning her skirt with Prima bling and blossoms!
The combination of colors that I put into making her skirt just beckoned to be paired with some of the new Prima flowers, especially the Le Coque "Windsor" flowers. I will admit to now wanting one of these crowns for myself! (I might look a tad silly, however, preggo and all, dressed up like her!)
And, of course, with a fanchy, schmancy, fairy crown - one must have the embellishments fall onto her skirt as well!
Supplies used to create her skirt:
The Prima flowers from the latest release, simply put, made this fairy costume magical... see how she twinkles?
A quick tip though, should you find yourself in the presence of something so adorable - you had better snap the pictures quick because this little fairy was off running, heading back to whatever enchanted place she came from...
Wishing you all a magical, beautiful, month. And as your tiny, little, marvels, princesses, and knights, dazzle and delight while they trick or treat all over the world, don't forget to take photographs! Oh, how this time of year can reveal their stunning personalities! ~~Heidi
