I've lately been really liking shabby chic more and more. These crafts are just gorgeous! I can't pick just one that I love more! Thank you for sharing!
Love ALL of these gorgeous projects Annie! The notebook would be such a lovely gift. It’s sweet that you’re using your mother’s craft supplies in your beautiful creations. Take care my precious friend!
Oh Becky, thank you so much! You are such a sweetheart. Yes, I have to take advantage of all the lovely items that my mom left behind. It'll keep her memory going strong. God bless you sweet friend
Annie, today's creations were all so sweet, romantic & beautiful 😍!! Plus they gave me Spring fever with the gorgeous flowers 💐!!! Wonderful job!! Love the kitties 😸 sooo much !! ❤️ Take care and TFS my dear sweet friend ❤️ 💖 !!
Thank you so much!! Oh I love pink too! I love the combination of the light green with the pink. It's so pretty and feminine. Thanks so much for sharing. Have a blessed week!
Hi Annie what great ideas and absolutely gorgeous awesome job ! Love them all 👍 TFS have a wonderful week 🐝 safe and God Bless you and your family. Very cute kitty's 🐈
Very nice projects I love the post box it's just beautiful. Getting sample paints from the hardware store is so handy and you can get them in any color you want.
Yes you can definitely do that. I get the paints that are left behind or that people return and they're only 50 cents. It's so economical. You got to save a buck everywhere you can. Thanks again for watching
Such lovely crafts ! Yes,I’m like you and I love spring soft pastels make me happy too. I love pink shoot my Christmas tree is pink🤣🤣😂😂 The post box is beautiful and the tray was brilliant 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Always have been a shabby chic lover. Never liked the farmhouse look, but always liked the whimsical romantic decor! Let me know if you ever want to collab!
Wow! Had to save this video! Every one of these are stunning!!! I love them!! I also enjoy listening to the joy in your voice as you craft!! TYFS 🥰🥰🥰 Yes I had to watch again 😂
I've used watered down regular school glue in the place of mod poudge on cardboard and napkins It Was quite successful. I love your hearts they are very pretty !!
Luna is so adorable....Don't you just love them they feel they can do whatever they want...lol....Liquid Patina by DIY Paint by Debi's Design Diary......It is awesome for decoupaging....Everything turned out gorgeous!!!!! Kuru is also so adorable!!!!!
Oh thank you so much! I had forgotten that she has like a decoupage medium. I got to look into that. It's called DIY right by Debbie. Okay. Thank you once again so much
All these are beautiful! You my friend are a decopauge queen! I love watching you create and change an item from trash to an amazing treasure. I love shabby-chic and love love love to decopauge. I use the liquid patina from DIY paint. I use it like you would Mod Podge. On the item I am decopauging on to and then, of course, on top of the napkin, paper, or whatever I am putting it on. But for a beautiful high gloss and for protection, I use Krylon triple thick clear glaze spray. 2 coats will protect it forever. Lol It gives your project such a beautiful high gloss shine that NASA called and told me to stop using it because I was confusing the airplanes. Lol, lol. It is also water resistant, non-yellowing, and dries very very quickly. It comes in a matte finish as well. The other thing I always tell people is use the saran wrap to avoid tears and rips. I certainly am not trying to tell the decopauge queen how to decopauge. Lol. 1 last thing if you haven't tried the iron method, you must. It's smooth as silk when you finish. Have a great week and thank you for all you share with us. I apologize for talking/texting/writing so much. From one bird lover to another.... Thank you.
Never apologize for sharing your pasion and enthusiasm with me or anyone it was wo derful to read your comment and leant new things - I will def buy that DIY gloss if it causes that much shine and I promis i will bring out the iron for the seran wrap method - just alwyas worry about setting this on fire!!! lols love your sense of humor too you my dear are a kindred psirit and i would love to see what you are creating too!!! God bless!
Thanks so much 😊 well then you know what it's like. The minute that spring feeling starts hitting. It's just amazing. The energy is out of the roof for me
Ooooooo!! Love, love, love ALL of your creations! They're all so romantic & feminine! I'm watching you create each one, thinking...Look at that! That's my favorite!...then, you make the next and I'm thinking...Now, that's my favorite! 😄The hearts, the tray, the gorgeous wee birdhouse! That post box is everything & the tea cup is fabulous! So, happy I had the chance to sit back & watch, tonight! TFS, my super creative, talented friend!! 😍😍😍
Thank you so much! Hey Monica, whenever you want to do a crafty shabby chic collaboration let me know. I would love to see your take on shabby chic as well
Hi Annie, you are the Shabby Chic queen!! I do love my Mod Podge too. I've never tried the high gloss nor the antique ones. Yes, you have to try the plastic wrap method. It's nice and fun, but use parchment paper and not wax paper. 😍 All your projects were beautiful. I loved them all with my favorites being the skittles heart, the post mailbox and my very favorite was the journal. Tfs and have a beautiful week. Jackie 🥰
Oh thank you so much sweet Jackie! Well, you are the gingerbread queen I have so convinced after your beautiful gingerbreads this past Christmas and Valentine's season. Whenever you'd like to collaborate again, I'd be more than happy to. Many blessings for you always!!!
All cute! Love the candy heart---& I have the exact same postbox, bought it long ago. I think maybe you saw the tape technique on Our Upcycled Life? I just saw it a day or 2 ago---she really has some crazy good crafting techniques. You turned that sort of blah teacup into a total winner with the awesome molds & the gold paint. Kitties are adorable, they want to be shabby-chic-ed too!
I liked all your crafts. I really liked that mailbox. You know, you were talking about different decor styles, and I have named my decor style it is Country Elegant. I was thinking about that when you talked about decor styles in your last video. Well, enjoy your week with Luna and Kuru.
@@IndieAnnieJones1 I'm doing well thanks 😊! I've slowed down here on YT but you know I'd be more than happy to collab with you. Please let me know if you have anything in mind 💕!! Take care 🙂 💜
I’ve never heard of foam clay but I get great results using 100% acrylic from a tube, as for caulking. I use a caulking gun to fill the mold, but they do have small tubes you can squeeze just like toothpaste. It comes in clear or white, takes a bit longer to dry, but it’s bendable, and doesn’t crack. It is easy to take out of the molds as well, and is flexible to adhere to curves and round objects, not like clay that has to be put on right away, unless it’s a flat surface.
All the DIYs are so beautiful, Annie. 😍 I have used Deco Art's Triple Thick (brilliant brush on gloss glaze) it leaves such a deep shine, it's gorgeous. I've used mod podge for decoupage, but I just purchased 2 other types of adhesives I want to try: Aleenes tacky glue, and also Beacon 3-in-1. Neither of these is water-based and though I couldn't find the formula for Aleenes (they say it is proprietary), I can tell you that Beacon's 3-in-1 is acetone based and I've heard (from other creatives) scrapbook paper, napkins, etc. don't wrinkle up because it's not water-based. Thank you so much for all the inspiration! ♥
Ooh, thank you so much for taking the time to share the other items that you've used. The other products I have used Eileen's tacky glue Is that one the one that you're talking about? I had never thought of using it for decoupage, but I can imagine that it works pretty well.
@@IndieAnnieJones1 Yes, Aleenes Tacky Glue. I have a bunch of items I plan to decoupage soon and I want to experiment with the two adhesives I mentioned in my first comment.
Everything turned out so sweet and so shabby! I love them all, especially the post box and the tea cup! I need to get that foam clay and mold because I just love what you do with them! Thank you so much for joining me on this collaboration! I had forgotten that we are both April babies! ❤️🥰❤️
Oh thank you so much for inviting me. I love that our colors are so similar and so sweet and romantic for Valentine's Day and spring. Thank you so much once again. Many blessings to you for the week to come
Annie, I love that those kitties have brought such happiness back to you! They bring happiness to us as well, too cute!🥰 What great project's today. I can always count on you to bring us excellent content, you have such a creative mind. I'm sure everything will be beautiful in your room. I love you and God bless you and your's.🥰❤️🙏🥰❤️🙏
Thank you very much. I've got to do some purging of lots of clothing that I don't wear and other things, but I will try to make it pretty enough for a tour one day. Have a beautiful week
I use whatever is sitting around, often mod podge, but prefer Goldens matte gel medium. It has less water than mod podge so wrinkles alot less. Probably any gel medium would work. I paint my air dry clay before it dries which helps it not crack. Also you have to avoid stretching your clay casting. Stretching the clay encourages cracks.
Well, I never thought of using paint to keep the air dry from cracking. That's amazing, never seen that before. Thank you so very much for your tips and tricks. I got to try that out. Which brand of clay do you use?
@Crafting with Indie-Annie Jones I've been using Sculpey because that's what I could find locally. (I dont want to pay shipping.)I forget the first one I tried from hobby lobby but it was awful. Really sticky. I'll try others eventually but I've been satisfied with sculpey. I haven't been casting very long but love iod, prima redesign and zuri.
Actually no, I studied finance and have a master's in international business. I've worked most of my life as an analyst. Believe it or not and currently work as a grant writer, but I've always loved crafting and creating and designing and imagining. So thank you so much and means the world to me that you would think that I had some kind of professional background in art. God bless
Loved this video. Going to try the scrapbook paper trick. For decoupage paper to paper I use Liquitex matte medium, mod podge for the rest. I use triple thick by Deco Art American which is a gloss glaze. I can’t believe your sweet Luna didn’t get paint on her 💜
Great tip! I have never tried that. I am going to look into that. It's always good to have different products even if it's for the same thing. Different products. You are different kind of glazes and glosses so thank you so so much
I actually have the best luck using hot glue in my molds above everything else! It stays flexible like foam clay, but it’s WAY stronger and not so fragile. Every time I try to use foam clay, my tiny parts break off such as birds legs, flower stems, etc. If you know a trick for that, PLEASE share because I love everything else about the foam clay just like you! With air dry clay, I just use slip to repair cracks with water and clay mixed together then rubbed over the crack or if something breaks off then you put slip on both broken pieces and put it back together like you’re gluing it. Then use the slip all around the break or crack where you just put the two pieces back together….sorry for the long winded message!
Never apologize for taking the time to share trick or a tip or an idea, especially here on my channel. We all greatly appreciate it. Not just myself but my audience as well. Appreciates comments and help from everyone. As far as the air dry foam clay, i put it in the freezer for at least 10 to 15 minutes and it sets pretty well and then it just hardens over time
The weather in Miami is actually beautiful. It's not too hot. It's not muggy. It stays at a high of around 82 right now. Low around 70 so it is the perfect weather. That's why I say it's my spring time. Thanks for watching sweet friend
(My upcycled life) channel did a vedio on the packing tape trick in case you wanted to check her channel out for a few more techniques on the decopouge ideas ,love what you made,thanks for sharing,blessings😊
Ooh I got to check that out. I always like to learn new techniques and tools on how to do things. There's always so much to learn, especially with crafting. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!
Oh I think that was a time limit. I had that nail polish affiliation last year. I think it was only for 12 months. I apologize. I will take that off my description
The black cat is named Kuru which is supposed to mean shadow in some language. I can't remember right now and the other cat with the cute little mask is called Luna which is Spanish for moon. Thank you so much. Have a blessed weekend
Everything absolutely gorgeous. Love everything can't pick a favorite

Hi Annie, you are the Shabby Chic queen!! I do love my Mod Podge too. I've never tried the high gloss nor the antique ones. Yes, you have to try the plastic wrap method. It's nice and fun, but use parchment paper and not wax paper. 😍 All your projects were beautiful. I loved them all with my favorites being the skittles heart, the post mailbox and my very favorite was the journal. Tfs and have a beautiful week. Jackie 🥰
Oh thank you so much sweet Jackie! Well, you are the gingerbread queen I have so convinced after your beautiful gingerbreads this past Christmas and Valentine's season. Whenever you'd like to collaborate again, I'd be more than happy to. Many blessings for you always!!!

All of these are absolutely beautiful but if I had to pick a favorite it would be the mailbox it’s gorgeous !
thank you so much Rita i love it and can't wait to change the flowers forthe season!

Your artwork is very professional! Are you and art instructor? Beautiful and the how-to instruction is so appreciated 😀😀😀
Actually no, I studied finance and have a master's in international business. I've worked most of my life as an analyst. Believe it or not and currently work as a grant writer, but I've always loved crafting and creating and designing and imagining. So thank you so much and means the world to me that you would think that I had some kind of professional background in art. God bless
OMGOSH, I can’t handle watching or hearing paper tear much less doing it myself. For me it’s equal to someone scratching their nails on a chalkboard.
Oh I didn't know that about your Mary. I'm sorry but actually when you wet the paper it doesn't make a sound at all
Loved this video. Going to try the scrapbook paper trick. For decoupage paper to paper I use Liquitex matte medium, mod podge for the rest. I use triple thick by Deco Art American which is a gloss glaze. I can’t believe your sweet Luna didn’t get paint on her 💜
Great tip! I have never tried that. I am going to look into that. It's always good to have different products even if it's for the same thing. Different products. You are different kind of glazes and glosses so thank you so so much
I have used white glue as well as Mod Podge. I find the Mod Podge a bit thick to work with sometimes so add a tiny bit of water.
I always add water with my mod podge as well. I thought it was just me and that I was ruining it somehow. Thanks so much for sharing!
Annie, all of these are absolutely gorgeous! Looking forward to spring in New Mexico. It's still really cold here!
Oh I hope you have an early spring then. God bless!

The weather in Miami is actually beautiful. It's not too hot. It's not muggy. It stays at a high of around 82 right now. Low around 70 so it is the perfect weather. That's why I say it's my spring time. Thanks for watching sweet friend

Hallo tolle Objekte aber die Katze ist ganz sues wie heißt sie liebe gruesse sendet sylvia
The black cat is named Kuru which is supposed to mean shadow in some language. I can't remember right now and the other cat with the cute little mask is called Luna which is Spanish for moon. Thank you so much. Have a blessed weekend
Everything is so pretty!
