Whimsical Loaded Embroidery Hoop created for swap at NSK&Friends

Hello, my friends!
Today I will share with you my finished project for a swap at "NSK & Friends" on Facebook "Whimsical Loaded Embroidery Hoop"
This was the most fun project I have done in the years...
Unfortunately, all files of the process video were deleted (so sad), so I will offer only an overview of the project in the video...

We had to create many things along with the main project - altered embroidery hoop

Well, I loaded that one with laces, trims, floral sprays, dangle laces, feathers appliques and more

 The back part of the altered loaded hoop had to be in form of the pocket, which I used to tuck in all the extra goodies, that I made for my partner...

I started with the empty pocket

used NSK applique

Let us load this pocket with goodies...

here how wand looks on its own

 back of the wand

Next, let put postcard and ATC

What would we have to add next? Ah, stick pins

Now, I forgot about handmade flower... well those couldn't fit into the hoop pocket, so I had to package those separately...

How about lace tussle... BAM!

Let's take a look at how all items fit into whimsical loaded embroidery hoop pocket...

Now from the front again...

Wow, I love how it all came out...

And the final TA-DA, packaging...

 Well, enjoy the video below for the details of this project...
Hugs and Kisses,

Mixed Media ATC Coin Strawberry

Hello, my friends,
Today I would like to share with you my creations that were made for one on one swap at "Gold Pro Loaded Envelope" facebook group - "Mixed Media ATC Coin" -Strawberry as requested my partner...
Strawberry??? You got to be kidding me... I didn't see that request coming, for sure!
Well, long story short, my partner Valentine asked for strawberries...
SOS, Pinterest to the rescue!
I browsed for three days trying to gather some inspirational ideas and came up with a collage

And I came up with there 4 ATC coins (process video is in the video below)
1st ATC coin I named "Sweet"

2nd "Art Doll"

and it has a tag

3rd ATC Coin I named "Baby" and the message is "Love"

4th ATC coin happened to be a "CRASHberry" lol

I am very pleased with how those ATC coins came out and usage of different mixed media techniques was challenging and very fun! I wanted to make something like that for a long time!

Now the fun part of packaging...Gift presentations mean allot!

 Oh yes, I made a card... this item I will tell you about in the next post!

See ya!!!!!!!!!!
