[Paper House] - “Explore New York” home decor

This post is in Italian and English

Off the page week sul blog di Paper House: io e le mie compagne di team vi diamo idee e spunti per realizzare fantastici home decor! Io ho realizzato un quadro dallo stile cool e moderno che ha come base un supporto di chipboard rigido (non so come si chiamano, scusate!), con alcuni prodotti dedicati a New York (a proposito, è appena uscita una nuova fantastica collezione tutta dedicata a questa incredibile città)/ Off the page week on Paper House blog: we give you a lot of inspiration to create home decor and other pretty stuff with Paper House amazing products! I realized a modern and cool chipboard plaque for my home using New York themed products (did you see the new dedicated collection?! Just stunning!):

Ho strappato a mano la carta per creare texture; adoro la carta con scritto New York tutto glitterato/ I torn paper to create texture: I simply LOVE this glittered New York paper…

Nei miei progetti amo mixare diversi tipi di stickers: Puffy, 3D, Cardstock, and Snapshots™… tantissime texture per catturare lo sguardo!/ In my projects I love to use a combination of several different sticker varieties: Puffy, 3D,Cardstock, and Snapshots™… a ton of texture, shapes, and dimension to capture the eye!

Le carte fotografiche Paper House sono semplicemente stupende! Ho anche utilizzato alcuni prodotti della collezione ColorWays Noir, così urban e moderna!/ Paper House photographic papers are just amazing. I also used some ColorWays Noir products, to give a modern and urban feeling to my home decor:

“Everything you can imagine is real”:my very first canvas

This post is in Italian and English

Oggi ho qualcosa di speciale per voi: la mia prima tela!! Era nella mia “to do list” da molto, troppo tempo e avere l’occasione di lavorare coi prodotti della Plaid è stato lo stimolo che mi serviva per buttarmi e provare! Ho ricevuto moltissimi dei loro fantastici colori acrilici multisuperficie, il Mod Podge nella formulazione satin e glitter, i Mod Melt (ve ne ho parlato qui) e li ho usati tutti per realizzare questa tela, mixandoli con i fantastici prodotti Paper House/ Today I have something special for you: my very first canvas!! It was on my “to do list” from a long time and having the chance to work with fantastic Plaid products was exactly eìwhat I needed to finally try! I received a lot of yummy Folkart multi surface acrylic paint, Mod Podge satin, Mod Podge glitter, Mod Melts (I already told you about them here) and I use them all to make this, mixing them with awesome Paper House products:
Ho preso ispirazione da una foto fatta a Strawberry Fields a New York per creare una tela ispirazionale per la mia craft room/I took inspiration from a picture taken at Strawberry Fields in New York to create an inspirational canvas for my craft room:

Questo è un dettaglio dello sfondo creato coi fantastici colori multisuperficie della Plaid/I created the bg with amazing Plaid multisurface acrylic paints:
Gli sticker e i rubon a farfalla della Paper House sono veramente meravigliosi, hanno dei colori brillantissimi! Il cuore creato col “Wedding” Mod Molds è fantastico, è una delle forme che preferisco tra tutte quelle disponibili/ Paper House butterfly stickers and rubons are amazing, they have very brilliant colors! The scalloped heart made with “Wedding” Mod Molds is beautiful, it’s one of my favorite shape among all those available:

La swirl nera glitterata è perfetta con quelle create con la Big Shot / The black glitter swirl is perfect with those created with Big Shot:

Ho ritagliato la citazione direttamente da questa carta/I cut out the quote directly from this paper:    Product used

Plaid: Mod Podge satin, Mod Podge glitter, Mod Melt white milk glass, “Wedding” Mod Molds, Folkart multi surface acrylic paint (lime green, light blue, steel grey, wicker white, licorice), Foam brush set 

Other: Want2Scrap “Iridescent” rhinestones, gesso, modeling paste, light blue and lilac cardstock, Big Shot, swirl die, brush, stencil, foam tape, 5x5” picture, scissors, white glitters, canvas

Directions

· With a brush, apply gesso on canvas
· When dry use a brush to apply all acrylic colors randomly, mixing them together: to do that, don’t make them dry! If the color is still wet, you can mix it up easily with another one with foam brush
· When dry use a stencil to create a motif with modeling paste
· Before the modeling paste dries, sprinkle white glitters all over it
· From the “Imagine” paper, cut the quote in strips as shown
· Create layers under picture: adhere it with foam tape on the paper and cut leaving a thin border, then adhere it again on paper but this time throw the paper, don’t cut it: in this way you will add interesting texture
· With Mod Melt white milk glass and “Wedding” Mod Molds to create the little scalloped heart to use as embellishment
· When the canvas is dry, use mod podge satin to glue down and seal your title and the picture
· Apply rubons on the canvas as shown: to make this operation so much easier, put something on the backside of the canvas to create a hard surface
· Apply butterflies stickers and the little heart as shown
· Use Big Shot to create some swirls from cardstock and adhere them as shown
· Add blings and black swirl stickers where shown
· Cover the whole canvas with Mod Podge satin to protect it and canvas corners with Mod Podge glitter to make it sparkle!
