We are absolutely thrilled to unveil a stunning collection of MDF bases, expertly decorated by the one and only Mixed Media Queen herself, Kerstin! 👑🎨 Every single piece is a masterclass in texture, depth, and pure artistic magic see below how she has created the MDF Lantern ...

This mixed media lantern project combines industrial steampunk elements with a warm rustic finish. The base was created using an MDF lantern shape, decorated with layered chipboards, textured details, and dimensional embellishments to achieve a vintage handmade look.

The surface was covered with structure paste to add depth and an aged effect. Afterwards, the entire piece was painted with Terra acrylic paint, giving it a natural earthy tone. To highlight the beautiful textures and chipboard details, metallic wax was gently applied on top, creating subtle vintage shimmer and enhancing the gears.

The combination of rough textures, rusty metallic accents, and delicate decorative pieces makes this project a perfect home décor item for lovers of mixed media, steampunk, and rustic art styles.

.scrapper stuns us with her exceptional layout today of her little grand daughter, see below how Adri has created her wonderful page ...

This layout is filled with soft colour, delicate florals and beautiful detail, perfectly capturing my granddaughter’s joyful personality. The title could not be more fitting for her sweet smile and playful spirit.
All the chipboard pieces were first primed with white acrylic paint and then painted using Americana Acrylic Paints. I randomly tucked foliage among the flowers to create fullness and in the clusters, cutting some pieces apart for extra detail. The little bird nest was chalked with Chocolate Versa Magic Ink.
For the ombré effect on the title, I used two shades of purple to create gentle shading and dimension. The mini titles were coloured with several layers of white Posca Pen for a crisp, bright finish. I always adhere small pieces of acetate behind the mini titles, making them much easier to attach securely onto the flower clusters. Tiny butterflies were then added to the title, words and bird nest for a whimsical finishing touch.
To complete the layout, I added pearl beads and white gesso splatters for extra texture and softness.

🌟FLASHBACK to 2016 - with Rachelle, this spectacular page is as beautiful today as it was ten years ago (yes 10 years!) 🌟

Rachelles projects were always full of distressed paper layers on her projects.

"This shows some of the layers, I also did some hand stitching. I painted the leaves of the foliage with DA mountain meadow, let dry (DA paints dry fast) then I applied a thick coat of clear crackle. Once the crackle dried I dry brushed on some DA Alabaster paint, to soften the color, & give the leaves 2 tones... One the seeds of the wild flower I altered using the lavender blush & sugar plum, then applied the DA clear gloss..."

This steampunk-inspired art journal page was created using stencils to add texture and structure to the background. Chipboards and die-cuts bring dimension, while washi tape and paper scraps create layered details.

Wise quotes were added to complete the page, combining creative design with meaningful words.

This Month has created a cute little caddy/pot using chipboard and resin shapes based on an ordinary plastic pot.
Here is what Sue Says ...
If you are like me, I love tea, especially those gourmet teas that come in sachet. Coffee comes that way too, but how do you store them attractively. I have a solution in my Alice in Wonderland tea caddy. This plastic pot is altered and decorated with resin and chipboard shapes.
Chipboard being paper based is easy to alter and mold to the shape of the pot, just spritz with a little water, not too much, but enough to manipulate with your fingers. I have applied tissue paper over the plastic pot to give a good surface. Then you can adhere your chipboard shapes, I have chosen Alice Elements 22 the gorgeous whimsical mushrooms. These don't take too much effort to bend into the shape of the pot. Once adhered with gel medium you can paint with tinted gesso and highlight the mushrooms with copic pens, add some resin shapes, then rub over with Vintage Gold wax to finish.
I plan on making more of these to store lots of things not just tea lol

See below how .scrapper has created her spectacular layout that she shares with us today with cute specimen slides to foliage and bugs.

This layout captures such a magical moment with my granddaughter exploring a field of wildflowers near our home. We had the most wonderful photoshoot together, and I treasure the fact that my grandchildren are always willing to pose for my photos. In this photo she is looking through a magnifying glass, which made it the perfect choice for this beautiful paper featuring the oversized printed magnifying glass design.
I created two generous floral clusters to frame the photo, filled with layered flowers, foliage, butterflies and tiny woodland details. Tucked amongst the blooms are the cutest little geckos peeking out, adding a playful touch to the nature theme. I love how all the little details work together to celebrate curiosity, wonder and the beauty of nature through a child’s eyes.
All the chipboard pieces were first primed with white acrylic paint and then painted using Americana Acrylic Paints. The Wordpl@y elements from the Entomology collection were lightly dry brushed with a sponge brush, carefully avoiding the engraved text so the words remained crisp and easy to read. The specimen slides were painted with cream acrylic paint, while the edges were finished with dark brown acrylic paint for a vintage effect. The tiny bugs were coloured using a black Posca Pen to help bring out all the intricate details.
To finish the layout, I added art stones and delicate white gesso splatters for extra texture and softness.
