Sheila couldn’t get enough of the beach theme and simply decided to make another one! This one is more focused on a beach party and bathing beauties theme, without the mermaid fantasy. But she used some of the same supplies as she used for the Mermaid Junk Journal.

Here’s the video, some stills and a link to the supplies she used are below.

And here are the links:

Mermaids Patterned and Artsy Papers
available only in my Etsy shop

Mermaids Embellishments
only available in my Etsy shop

Flairs Vol.1 ‘Sea Creatures’
available here: Etsy | Oscraps

Catching Waves Bundle
available here: Etsy | Oscraps | Scrap Girls

Acrylic Transitions Vol.3

Next to these supplies, Sheila used a variety of supplies from other designers ànd she also used a bunch of printables from The Graphics Fairy, some of those were designed by me for the Membership site.

Sheila has more amazing inspiration on her Youtube channel, you can follow her there. If you like the Beach Party Book, do leave her a comment!

Have a great day,

As you may know I have been designing the free printables that come with the weekly bundles at The Graphics Fairy Membership site, since last summer. It is always such a pleasure (and an honour!) to be able to work with those images and designing printables is something I LOVE to do. Sometimes it is challenging to try and come up with something unique (although Karen and Emily are helping me come up with new ideas ), but it is good to be challenged and some of the things I’ve designed, would never have come to life if I hadn’t been invited by Karen and Emily to do this.

I am offering some of these printables in a slightly altered version in my Etsy shop too. And here’s an overview of what I’ve added over the past few weeks:

Wouldn’t you wish these printable postage stamps were real? Included in this pack is a gorgeous set of postage stamps with vintage harvest fruits and vegetables, dictionary and paint textures. Use them in your digital projects, or in any other (paper)craft project. Or print them and use them to decorate an envelope with a gift for a nature lover! Each stamp comes in a large version and in a small version, and I’ve added sheets for easy printing.

Included in this pack is a gorgeous set of 6 artist trading cards (ATC) with vintage botanical fruit prints. Use them in your digital projects, or in any other (paper)craft project. Or print them (best on heavy paper) and use them as tags or labels. Or frame them and hang them on your wall - these will make a gorgeous fall decor!

Your tea will taste even better if you wrap your tea bags in one of these shabby chic tea packets + matching label! They were created with a dot pattern paper and vintage teacup images. A wonderful DIY gift idea for friends and tea lovers! These tea bag envelopes are very easy to assemble, instructions are included in your ZIP files.

This tea party invitation can be used again and again to invite your family and friends to a high tea party, to a bridal shower or baby shower, or to any other occasion where tea is the main subject. Included is a front and back, and an editable Photoshop file, that will allow you to customize the invitation - I’ve included information about the fonts that I used. If you are not good with graphic software, simply print and add your own text in writing, or use a program like Word or Picmonkey to add text.

These printable tags were created with vintage fairies and flowers and soft grunge sheet music backgrounds. They have a burlap reinforcement. Use these beautiful tags in your digital scrapbooking or art journaling layouts, or print them for your hybrid projects, for art journaling, for gift tags and so on.

This is a gorgeous set of printable bookmarks, with a sheet music background, some paint, ornamental fragments in gold, and gypsies and flowers. These bookish gifts would make a great surprise for booklovers or for music lovers, for a sister, mother, wife or friend!

Included in this pack is a set of printable CD sleeves, created with vintage fairies and flowers and soft grunge sheet music backgrounds. You can use them as storage for music CD’s, or CD’s and DVD’s with family photos and videos. They will brighten up your (music) library ànd they make a wonderful gift wrapping for presents. They are really easy to assemble (instructions included).

For now, all these packs are exclusively available in my Etsy shop, but I’ll be adding some of them (if not all) to my Oscraps in the weeks and months to come!

Have a great day,

Anja

Have you seen this week’s ephemera kit at the Graphics Fairy Premium Membership site? They are offering an amazing set of celestial images. I created 3 printables - one of those printables is a set of printable tea bag envelopes - that are free with your membership. But, if you are not a premium member, you can purchase an alternative version of the tea bag envelopes in my Etsy shop.

Tea is always a good idea

Your tea will taste even better if you wrap your tea bags in one of these printable tea bag envelopes + matching label! They were created with a gold marble and blue marble background, some floral elements, and a vintage paper texture. A wonderful tea gift idea for a tea lover! They are very easy to assemble, instructions are included in your ZIP files.

Enjoy!

This week’s ephemera kit at the Graphics Fairy Premium Membership site is a wonderful farmhouse style kit. I happen to really love the farmhouse style and when I saw the nostalgic images, I was immediately inspired to create a set of pantry labels and a banner.

In this week’s tutorial I am sharing how you can design and customize your very own farmhouse pantry labels!

If you are a member, you will receive the printables for free. But, if you are not, you can purchase an altered version in my Etsy shop.

Pantry Labels Vol01

This gorgeous set of farmhouse style printable pantry labels will look great in any kitchen, especially in a vintage rustic kitchen decor. I’ve created 30 ready made labels for you, and they come in two versions: a decorative label and a simple round label. I’ve also provided a whole sheet with blank labels, so you can add your own text. Use Word, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Picmonkey or any other graphic software to make custom labels.

Available in my Etsy shop

The Country Kitchen Printable Banner

Included in this romantic burlap and lace banner pack are flags with a complete alphabet A-Z and numbers 0-9, as well as 6 flags with images of roosters and cows and a few blank flags; all on printable sheets. I’ve also included a burlap texture that you can print on the back of the flags.

Available in my Etsy shop

Doesn’t it look so real 🙂 ?

Have fun!

If you are a member of The Graphics Fairy Premium Site, you know that with every new ephemera kit comes a set of printables for you to print and use in your craft and art projects.

Well, as from this week, I will be designing most of those printables! I was absolutely thrilled when Karen asked me because I LOVE designing printables! I will also offer some of these printables in my Etsy shop, in an altered version. If you don’t want to miss them, make sure you subscribe to my newsletter.

This week’s ephemera kit is a gorgeous set of Book Title Pages. I made a set of 6 grunge butterfly tags, a set of bookmarks, and a printable fish decor.

An alternative version of the grunge butterfly tags is now available in my Etsy store:

These printable bohemian style tags were created with vintage butterflies and roses and grungy textures, and they have a leather reinforcement. Use these beautiful tags in your digital scrapbooking or art journaling layouts, or print them for your hybrid projects, for art journaling, for gift tags and so on.

Grab them here.

Have a great day!

This is a fun idea for a summer party, or for a tropical themed wedding invitation! Included are 6 numbered tickets, but I’ve also added 6 blank tickets so you can add your own numbers (use Word, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Picmonkey or any other graphic software). You will receive 2 x 6 PNG files of 4 x 1.5 in (10,16 x 3,81 cm), and 2 printable sheets in JPG and PDF. I’ve added a .txt file with links to the fonts that I used.
