Designer Friday - Fabi Ormerod

I'm excited to share Fabi's final projects with you today.  As a guest designer for Precocious Paper, Fabi has been playing with the June Sampler:

Using the blue fabric and felt flower, Fabi created this festive birthday card:

The felt Super Stars make a great addition to a clipboard that Fabi altered with Sassafras Lass papers:

Check out these googly eyes - so clever!

And lastly, a gorgeous layout with a cardboard frame, leaf and rolled fabric flower:

Fabi, thank you so much for guest designing this past month! If you've missed the other posts with Fabi's creations, you can check them out here and here.  You can also see all of her projects in this facebook photo album.  Can you believe that from one sampler, Fabi created 2 layouts, 2 cards, and 2 altered projects? Fabulous work, girl! If you would like to get crafty with a June Sampler, there are still a few in the shop here (and on sale!).

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Tessa

More June Sampler Inspiration

Hello! Fabi, my Precocious Paper guest designer for June, has been working with her June Sampler again :).  Fabi wanted to create something special to remember her grandmother by.

She began with a plain wooden frame (like the kind you can pick up at Michaels for $1.00), then painted and distressed it with acrylic paint and stamping.  She added a stamped chandelier to the edge, embossing it with Zing powder in a bright aqua shade.

Fabi painted one of the cardboard frames that comes in the sampler and added it directly to the photo, highlighting her beloved grandmother, who appears to be looking at the fabric and felt flower (also in the sampler) that Fabi perched on the corner of the frame.  Fabi colored the white paper ribbon that also comes in the sampler and tied it around the frame.  Lastly, she added a few vintage buttons and a bookplate.

I never envisioned this sampler being used for such a shabby chic vintage-inspired piece, but Fabi certainly illustrated here how versatile this sampler really is.  I still have a few samplers left, if you'd like to purchase one.  You can find the sampler here, on sale for just $10.00.  Have a great day!

Precocious Paper Guest Designer - Fabi Ormerod

I am excited to introduce you to the June Guest Designer for Precocious Paper, Fabi Ormerod!  I originally "met" Fabi at The Studio, and this summer we will meet in real life as she travels from Brazil to my neck of the woods on business.  Let's take a look at how she worked her magic with the June Sampler, Summertime!

One of my favorite things about Fabi is that she has a knack for pulling things together from different sources for a fabulous, eclectic feel.  Here she has paired a rolled fabric flower from the sampler with a flower cabachon from her stash - so cute!

Isn't this card darling? The moon, a star, and a sweet girl perched on ribbon.  Adorable!

Fabi told me she has even more projects in the works, so stay tuned! In the meantime, if you would like to play with the June Sampler, I have a special for you!

All of the remaining June Samplers are now only $10.00! The discount has already been applied, so there is no need for a coupon code. Shop here and enjoy!

Thanks, Fabi, and have a great day everyone!
