About Me

My photo
Well, let's see...I'm a mommy and a wife that crafts on the little spare time I have...I tend to sleep late to get more crafting in...I think we all do that. I can almost never finish a single project start to finish...why? Because I come up with a way better project or idea and have to do it RIGHT NOW!!! Needless to say I have many projects unfinished, kind of all over my craft room (hehe). I love working with all sorts of supplies, paper, lace, pearls, paint, sprays…anything pretty much. I've yet to try many other wonderful supplies out there but one day I will…and will leave an unfinished project behind to start a new one…

Lavender, Peach & Mint Envelope Mini Album

My latest project....a mini album for a soon to be bride.
Her wedding colors are Peach, Lavender and Mint.  This was the first time working with these colors and love how the album came out...for the most part.  I seem to have misplaced my mojo, lol.

Anyway, i have a few products from MB's Treasurista and LavishLaces.
 
And with that note...I have neglected my blog for quit some time and hadn't realized this was sitting in my drafts along with a couple others.  So for now, I'll just post and get it over with.  And it now NOT my latest project...

Lace Box with Drawers

This was a gift for a new friend in Canada (ScrapAtizer on YouTube).  I was so excited to try something new and definitely from scratch.  I used bling, lace, design paper, flower, modeling paste (for the very first time) and so much more for this project.  I know some of the paper was DCWV - Mariposa but I can't tell for sure on the others.  I just grabbed paper from all sorts of stacks.
I had so much fun making this little lace box and look forward to making more. 

 I'm almost at 250 subbies on YouTube (Luane Kash) and I may just make one as part of a giveaway...I love giveaways!!

Thanks for reading ~ Happy Crafting

Making your own Flourish/Bling

In this video...because I have tons of videos, I go over how to make your own flourishes or bling embellishments...I know it easy to just buy them...many times I run across needing a specific color that is just not provided...

So I started making my own.  Since this video I've done them in different color and have made my own little swirls to fit my current project.  One of my favorite things to do is make flower centers.   

I still stand by my pick up pencil...it's amazing for these types of little pieces and are available in my ETSY shop.

Floating Waterfall Page Tutorial

What up Crafty Peeps!!!

Some time ago I came up with an idea of putting together a waterfall page but without the actual working "pull tab".  What I came up with was the Floating Waterfall Page.  I also wanted to still see the actual background paper. 

Almost all the time we use the prettiest of papers and we cover them up with embellishments and photo mats and all that other yummy goodness.  So, I figured why not work around that so I can still take advantage of the beautiful paper.

Below is the video tutorial on how I made my Floating Waterfall Page.

Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Flower Tutorial using Doilies

This is one of my favorite types of paper flowers...so far...I may discover other favorites soon.

I was playing around with my paper doilies and had seen lots of other tutorials on these but I wasn't getting them right…so, I decided to just wing it and I came up with a super cute..and fluffy paper doily flower.

I played with different sizes and even attempted to make one with the heart doily…that was no bueno.

The doilies that I used are listed on my ETSY shop.  I have different styles of doilies in different sizes as well.

Enjoy and thanks for watching.

Mini Lace Spool Tutorial

Hello again Crafty Peeps…wow I'm on a roll today.                          

Here I have a brief tutorial on how I made my mini lace spools. 

They are super easy to make.  I used a combination of all sorts of supplies:
acrylic sheets/transparencies
card stock
paper towel rolls (I don't use the TP rolls, they kinda creep me out)
Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher
Wet Glue
ATG (but not for a permanent hold)
Small Spellbinder Dies
Circle Punch
Teeny Tiny Hair Ties…the disposable kind from the dollar store
Hot Glue
and other knickknacks and paint to finish them off

Hugs,
Luane
