Mini Mandala Embellishment Tokens

I got these amazing digi files of mandalas a while ago and have been dying to use them, so when I had the opportunity to work with Mod Podge I knew i had to crate something with them.


I started with some gold plastic coins my kids got as a fun little party favor, and decoupaged the printed digi files to the coins on both sides.  Here is a video on how I made these fun art tokens.


I cut the images out and used the Matte and Glossy Mod Podge to glue and seal the digi papers to the plastic coins.  It worked like a charm.  I did both sides, and one side I left plain, and they look amazing.


The digi files were a perfect fit for size of the coins, and the Mod Podge took care of the rest!


One the other size of the coin I added little dots of paint from various brands of 3D paint such as Nuvo drops, Liquid Pearls, and Scribbles.  I went with the colors of the mandalas to make them fun!


The rings of extra color really help make these token pop!




Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out all the fun!!

Mixed Media Floral Cards & Altered Containers

I love a good mixed media project, and one with flowers are my favorite!!  Here are 3 sets of cards and one set of altered containers that all use the same products, just in a different designer or layout - who says you cant reuse the same thing more than once!

This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.  Various companies provided me with some product to create this project.  The opinions I share are solely my own.



These are all projects that use Little Birdie Crafts, they have a HUGE selection of products that you can crate so much with!!  Check the bottom of the post for all the product links.



First up is a set of altered containers.  I made one in pink, purple, and then in teal (my fav color).


Check out the video below to see how I made these fun mixed media altered projects!  Make sure to pop over to the video as there is a giveaway for this video, just leave a comment to enter to win a prize pack from Little Birdie!


Next is a set of card that is clean and simple.  Clean lines, a simple design, and just pretty!


I used similar products to make a shabby chic card with a lot of layers and flowers.


Check out how to make both of these cards in my video below, and don't forget to leave a comment on this video as well to enter to win a prize pack from Little Birdie Crafts!



Last is a set of cards with the same flowers, just a different layout and design, still a pretty floral layered card.


Check out the process video below.


Thanks for joining me!

Mixed Media Shabby Chic Steampunk Junk Journal

Sometimes getting all painty and messy is all part of the fun of making art, this is what a junk journal is all about.  There is no reason, rhyme, or way to do it - you just create and go where you want to with it.  You can use anything and everything in your journal.  Really it is just what inspires you, a chance to really just create with no boundaries!

This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.  Various companies provided me with some product to create this project.  The opinions I share are solely my own.


Check out my video tutorial below!!



Make sure to check out all the other amazing designs using A Vintage Girl products from the wonderfully talented DCC designers.  Click on the link HERE or the graphic below to see them all!!


I started with the A Vintage Girl chipboard items to create this junk journal, and the journal is part of it too!!  My front cover is filled with layers of stencils, bling, flowers, papers, and just steampunk fun!!


I then moved onto the 2nd and 3rd pages.  The back cover of the front page is more like a scrapbook layout, but instead of pictures, they are cut outs from a 6x6 scrapbook paper.  The 3rd page is a section of the A Vintage Girl book that looks like a gear.  I added paint and layers of metal elments until it felt right.


For the 4th page, I gave a bit of relief just just painting the the chipboard and adding a layer of stencil work.  The 5th page is another layered mixed media page fill with elements of all types, really playing up that huge gear chipboard item from A Vintage Girl.



Junk journals are so freeing, and the best part is I can always add more to this book by just opening up the binder rings.  I only used half of the original book, so plenty left to still create!!


There is also this fabulous prize you can win from A Vintage Girl! Visit Designers Crafts Connection to find out how you can win.
