Book Page Rosettes + Chevron Cut Out Frame

I think I mentioned in an earlier post that I’ve teamed up with Mindy Mae’s Market.  They are a unique daily deals website and the girls that run it are the sweetest. I have a bunch of their supplies and you will be hearing me talk about them in quite a bit in future posts. 

If you are not familiar with them, here is a bit more about them:

Okay, so as I mentioned earlier in the post, I have a bunch of supplies from Mindy Mae’s Market and after 3 weeks of sick kids, I was super anxious to get crafting.  I had this great cut out frame from MMM and I decided to spruce it up with some chevron and some book page rosettes.

1. I took the plain wood frame and I painted it with some white craft paint that I had on hand. I think the brand was Folk Art (does that sound right?).

2. Next I created a chevron stencil using contact paper (Oh yes I did! Love that stuff for stencils – thanks to Shanty 2 Chic for turning me onto that idea) and my Silhouette Cameo. For those of you with a Cameo, I used the same settings as I would for Silhouette vinyl. Once the stencil was laid out, I painted right over it with some teal craft paint.

3. After the paint was dry, I removed the stencil and did a little bit of touch up paint work.

4. I took my hot glue gun and glued a piece of white card stock to the back of the frame. Next I took some rosettes that I had made from book pages and just glued them down inside the frame.

The last thing I did was take some sand paper and I roughed up the edges and even sanded the painted surface just a bit. 

I really love how it came out. It was the perfect addition to my shelf now that Valentine’s Day is over. I needed something for everyday and this did the job. 

Stay tuned for most crafts using supplies from Mindy Mae’s Market.
