Pimp your iPhone

I had an old iPhone cover that started to look a bit shabby. I was going to get a new one but instead I got the idea to paint it with Martha Stewart Craft Paints to make it like new. These paints are great, I got a LOT of different shades and textures from Hobbyworld and I want to paint everything.

I picked one of the turqoise pearl paints and painted the whole cover a couple of times. After that I masked some areas off with washi tape to create a sunburst. I ended up covering everything with some glue and seal just in case. I would reccomend not using the matte finnish since it took some of the bling away. Also, the paint strokes are quite visible, it doesn’t bother me, I guess you could use some kind of roller or foam brush to make them less visible.  Just experiment, I used what I had at hand as I always do :)

Material/Supplies:

• Martha Stewart Craft Paint - Pearl Jet Stream, Metallic Gold, Satin Sea Lavender, Glitter Turquoise, Glitter Sugar Cube, Glitter Florentine Gold


• Martha Stewart Craft Paint Basic Brush Set 5pc

Let's find a beautiful place and get lost

Magnet board

Magnet board

I  got lots of great Martha Stewart Craft Paints in my latest kit from Hobbyworld. I got some Magnet Effect and Crackle Effect too and wanted to try them out. I asked the other girls in the team for some ideas and got the suggestion to make a magnet board. I liked the idea and got me a frame and got started.

It ended up really colorful and cool, it looks perfect in my scraproom. On the Magnetic effect it tells you to use the effect on top of your surface and then put the paint on top of it but I wanted to be ale to write on my board with a whiteboard pen so I started with a couple of layers of Sea Lavender Satin Paint. Then I put the Magnetic effect on top of it. I used a couple of extra layers since the glass was between the magnet and the effect. I used a set of brushes that I also got in the kit, great brushes from Martha Stewart! 

 I painted the frame in the Metallic color Gold, then I added the Crackle Effect and on top I used the color Raspberry Ice. I loved the kitchy result! 

I also got some silkscreen stencils from Martha Stewart in my kit. I never tried silkscreen before so I added a golden flower in the corner of my board. I love the detailed result and it was really fun! I was really impressed with the versatile paint, I like that you don’t have to wonder what type of paint to use on a certain surface. Just paint on!

• Martha Stewart Multi-Surface Satin Acrylic Craft Paint – Sea Lavender, Raspberry Ice


• Martha Stewart Multi-Surface Metallic Acrylic Craft Paint – Gold

Stamping with Distress Paint

Taking a nap

Last weekend me and Marie went to Orust for a whole day of scrapping and lots of fun. I love going there, it’s a great crop and I like the challenges. This time I made two LOs, one card and a mini album. I was really focused and am happy to find my mojo again after having lost it for a while.

I think this was a scraplift. I really like how it turned out. I LOVE the cloud paper with the script on the back. I had to use both sides. I really should get another sheet because it hurt me a bit having to cut into it ;) The dark paper is from Maja design, we had to use something from Maja for this LO and I got this from Marie since I didn’t bring any of my own. It created a lot of great contrast for this LO.

I embossed some kraft letters from AC with WOW embossing power. Those powders are great! It kind of looks like enamel after a couple of coatings.

I’ll be back tomorrow with another creation. I also have two really awesome DT-kits to play with and hope to get a lot of scrapping done again. Life is good in the summer :)
