Glow, Shine, Radiate Wall Hanging with Katelyn Grosart

Hey Southern Ridge Trading Company fans, Katelyn here. Today, I'm sharing with you my Glow, Shine, Radiate Wall Hanging perfect to add to any place in your home. To create my wall hanging, I've used a variety of our everyday themed chipboard pieces. You'll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my Glow, Shine, Radiate Wall Hanging at home.

To start, choose two pieces of patterned paper that coordinate together. From the first patterned paper, die cut a 4 1/4" Fitted Fishtails. From the second piece of patterned paper, die cut a 3 3/4" Fitted Fishtails. Distress the edges of the fishtails. Ink the edges of the fishtails using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Radiate Word Mix, you'll need the Glow, Shine and Radiate words. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to each word. Sprinkle Black Magic Molten Dimensions Embossing Powder over the entire surface of each word. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

Next, you'll need the Leaf Filagree. Cut one of the filagree in half. Apply two coats of Pine Needles Distress Paint to one of the filagree pieces. Apply two coats of Twisted Citron Distress Paint to the other filagree piece. 

The next piece you'll need is the Oval Arrow Frame. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to the frame. Sprinkle White Wonder Molten Dimensions Embossing Powder over the entire surface of the frame. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

From the Itty Bitty Butterflies, you'll need to take seven out of the package. Apply two coats of Twisted Citron Distress Paint to two of the butterflies. Apply a coat of Art Alchemy Impasto Paint - Wild Iris to two of the butterflies. Apply a coat of Art Alchemy Impasto Paint - Raspberry Pink to three of the butterflies. Ink the edges of the butterflies using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Adhere the 3 3/4" Fitted Fishtail to the 4 1/4" Fitted Fishtail.

Adhere the Oval Arrow frame overtop of the 3 3/4" fitted fishtail.

Adhere the two leaf filagree pieces to the bottom left side of the oval arrow frame as desired.

Adhere the Glow, Shine, Radiate words to the middle inside of the oval arrow frame. The Radiate word will sit slightly on the leaf filagree and on the right side of the frame.

Adhere a pink and lime butterfly to the top right corner of the frame as desired. Adhere the other five butterflies on the left hand side of the frame, placing them in amongst the filagree and frame as desired.

To finish the wall hanging, punch two holes at the top. Tie a piece of twine through each hole to create a hanger.

Wicked Halloween Card with Katelyn Grosart

Hey Southern Ridge Trading Company fans, Katelyn here. Halloween is only 20 days away and I've been busy creating Halloween projects, so I've created this Wicked Halloween Card perfect to give to that special someone in your life. You'll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my Wicked Halloween Card at home.

To start, you'll need the Oval Chain Frame. Apply two coats of black gesso to the frame. Once the paint has dried, randomly apply the Emboss It Ink to the frame and sprinkle Wrought Iron Boho Blends embossing powder to the frame. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. 

Next, you'll need the wicked word from the Wicked Halloween Word Mix. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to the word and sprinkle Baked Texture - Taos Sunset embossing powder over the entire surface of the word. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

The next three steps will use the Fall Leaves.

Choose three leaves and apply two coats of Fired Brick Distress Paint to the leaves. Once the leaves have dried, rub either Ground Espresso or Walnut Stain Distress Crayon to each of the leaves.

Choose three leaves and one Itty Bitty Kraft Maple Leaves and apply two coats of Carved Pumpkin Distress Paint to the leaves. Once the leaves have dried, rub either Ground Espresso or Walnut Stain Distress Crayon to each of the leaves.

Choose two more leaves and apply two coats of Spiced Marmalade Distress Paint to the leaves. Once the leaves have dried, rub either Ground Espresso or Walnut Stain Distress Crayon to each of the leaves.

The last chipboard piece you'll need is a zombie. Apply two coats of Antique Linen Distress Paint to the zombie. Once the paint has dried, rub Black Soot Distress Crayon on the zombie.

From the Halloween Night Paper Pack, you'll need to choose three patterned papers. From one piece of patterned, die cut a 4 1/2" Stitched Rectangle. From the second patterned paper piece, die cut a 4" Stitched Rectangle. From the third patterned paper piece, die cut a 3 1/2" Stitched Oval. Distress the edges of all the pieces. Ink the edges of all of the pieces using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

The last piece you'll need before assembly, is to cut a piece of cheesecloth.

Adhere the 4" stitched rectangle to the 4 1/2" stitched rectangle. Adhere the cheesecloth to the middle of the 4" stitched rectangle. Foam square the stitched oval to the middle of the cheesecloth. Adhere the oval chain frame overtop of the stitched oval.

On the left hand side of the oval frame, adhere five leaves and the zombie as desired.

Adhere the wicked word to the right of the leaves. Adhere the other three remaining leaves around the top portion of the oval frame.

Because it still seemed a little bare around the top portion of the frame, I adhered three more Itty Bitty Kraft Maple Leaves. On the left side of the frame in amongst the leaves, I adhere some tumbled carnelian gemstones, a couple of metal pinecones and a pumpkin. To finish the card, cut a cardbase that measures 5 3/4" x 9", score at 4 1/2". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.

Here are a few closeup photos of the card.
