Prima

Are These Adorable or What?

One of our talented customers sent these photos in to us and we just fell in love with this very cool idea!

The creative Melissa Ackerman altered these Pointe Shoes with a variety of Prima flowers, turning them into one-of-a-kind beauties!

....................................................................................................................................................
This pair uses flowers from the Royal Crown Jewel Collection in a soft lavender.

......................................................................................................................................................
This brightly colored pair uses a layering of orange and white Sprites!

..........................................................................................................................................................
Hydrangea Picks were the flower of choice to decorate this pair of shoes!

...........................................................................................................................................................
Prima has been amazed at the wonderful ideas that we have seen lately from our customers! Have we told you lately how much we appreciate each one of you? WE DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of Cool Projects!

Today we bring you some really fun, very usable projects by Corina Nielsen! Corina designs a few paper lines (including Dude) and other amazing products for Prima. Corina also has a fun give-away on her blog. Simply click on the Just Corina Designs link at the left side of the blog for your chance to win some amazing Prima products!
........................................................................................................................................
Our first featured project is a banner using the Dude line of papers. How fun is this?

...........................................................................................................................................
Here are some close-up shots of the banner. Corina used a variety of Prima products to finish it...including  ribbon, epoxy stickers and chipboard buttons from the Dude line. She also added Prima's acrylic shapes and The Goods stamp set. The use of these fun products just makes this banner filled with happiness!

...............................................................................................................................................
Corina painted a canvas and added Prima's acrylic shapes for this project.

....................................................................................................................................................

.......................................................................................................................................................
Here is one more painted canvas with a few flower acrylic shapes added for dimension and a whimsical touch!

.........................................................................................................................................................
This deck of sotero cards is beautifully decorated with Voila lace, Say It In Crystals, Prima stamps, and paper shapes cut of of Prima's collage papers!

...........................................................................................................................................................
Isn't this a fun project to try out? Simply take a deck of sotero cards (they usually come with a box and 12 sturdy cards) and change them into a mini photo album with your favorite photos!

............................................................................................................................................................
MANY thanks to Corina, who is not only a talented product designer, but a talented paper crafter as well!

Amazing Jewelry featuring Prima Products!

We recently noticed the beautiful jewelry designs that Sandra Robledo creates. Not only is each piece absolutely stunning, but she often uses select Prima products in her creations! Let take a peek at a few of her pieces!
............................................................................................................................................

This coral piece features Prima's IOD chipboard shapes (516833) creatively mixed in with other coordinating pieces to form a gorgeous necklace.

..............................................................................................................................................

More IOD chipboard shapes are used on this necklace, along with a few Vintage Brads (517663) and an epoxy sticker (517854)! Aren't these pieces beautiful and fun?

..............................................................................................................................................
The Prima epoxy butterfly (517847) is perfectly situated on this lovely, multi-strand bracelet.

.................................................................................................................................................
Who else would have taken chipboard photo corners (516833) and turned them into trendy earrings? Sandra is wonderfully creative!!!

....................................................................................................................................................
This whole piece is filled with IOD's Chipboard Shapes (516833)...cleverly framed with jewelry pieces!

......................................................................................................................................................
This final piece from Sandra showcases a few, richly-colored Prima Hydrangeas (512477, 170554). They add the perfect finishing embellishments on this beautiful piece of jewelry!

........................................................................................................................................................
We wish to thank Sandra for sharing her amazing talent with us and for allowing us to feature her pieces of jewelry art using Prima products in such creative ways!
