Here is a look at my project this month!

I have used the Seasonal Trees #680 for my layout. I love how flexible this stamp set is!!  My papers are Graphic 45 from the new Home Sweet Home collection. 

 I stamped and heat embossed the image using Cappuccino EP and then colored the trunk with Tombow Markers. For the leaves, I layered two different colors of ink and then trimmed it out. 

I also used the Journal Mixed Media #606 for this layout - both on the chipboard above and on the cream cardstock behind my photos.  I used Moss EP to give the chipboard pieces some extra texture. The cute little bits on top of the chipboard are from Maya Road. 

I added a bit of stitching to the center of my layout for some visual interest. The Alpha stickers are from Carta Bella. 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I really appreciate it. I have had a lot going here at the house, we lost one of our kitties and our older black lab within two weeks of each other. I am hoping to get back my crafting mojo back pretty soon.

Here is a look at my project for this month

This photo has a pearl finish and it is impossible to take a good photo of it!  My papers are from American Crafts, Hambly Studios, and Studio Calico. The die cut stickers are from Bo Bunny.

My sentiment is from the Ellie Retail Therapy #679 and I heat embossed with Black Detail EP171. In order to change the wording to what I wanted, I masked the word "we're" with washi tape before I inked the stamp. Remove the washi tape before stamping and the word is gone! I then added some very small alpha stickers to add the word "she's".

This sentiment is from the Camera Life #620 set and I heat embossed with Raspberry Tart EP451. I wanted to add a little more texture to my layout, so I used Faber-Castell® Whipped Spackle and a stencil to create the heart. When it is was dry I inked it with Galaxy Gold VersaMagic. I used foam tape to give the sentiment a little pop.

Happy New Year!!

The 12 Tags of Christmas Day #3

Good morning everyone! Today is day #3 over at The Crafty Scrapper for our 12 Tags of Christmas and I have another tag to share with you.

  I am not normally a tag maker, I am more of a 12x12 pg kinda girl - there is way more room to work with on 12x12 after all! But I am pretty happy with how my tags came out.

This tag came together very quickly! Other than the drying time for the embossing paste, it took me less than 5 minutes to pull this tag together. So even if you are in a hurry, you can create a fabulous tag for a gift!


I started by applying some texture to the top and sides using a stencil and Wendy Vecchi Embossing Paste, then inked around the sides and added a few accents with my White Signo Pen.

I stamped my background image using VersaMark, then applied chalk in multiple colors for a subdued effect.  I added my sentiment using Black StazOn ink, and lots of ribbons and a button at the top to finish it off.



Be sure to check The Crafty Scrapper Blog everyday as we will have a new tag to share with you.



Thanks so much for stopping by today- have a wonderful week!

Peace on Earth Stamped Frame

Good morning everyone, I hope you are having a

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I want to share a fun project I made using a product from Deflecto Craft- Superior Image® Beveled Edge Sign Holder 5x7. This Frame comes apart so that you can easily insert whatever you like inside, then reattach the two pieces. Super easy to switch out the insert when needed.

I knew as soon as I saw it that I wanted to stamp on it. I decided to stamp in layers since the frame was clear acrylic. The graphic in the frame is from the Silhouette Store.

I used three different colors of StazOn inks, so that I could see what I was doing I placed a piece of kraft cardstock underneath the acrylic.

I stamped all the way around the top edge of the frame using Moonlight and used my heat gut to help dry it.

On the back panel of the frame, I stamped using Cotton White then Azure StazOn slightly off set from the first image.

I love the way the layers of snowflakes look when both sides of the frame are put back together! I added some bling to the front of the frame for some extra dimension.

Be sure to check out all the fabulous ideas from the Deflecto USA Ambassador Design Team on our Facebook Page and Pinterest Boards to see some other fabulous ideas.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a fabulous holiday weekend!

Merry Christmas - Layout with Sparkle N Sprinkle

Good evening everyone, I hope you have had a wonderful crafty weekend and are ready to greet the week with cheer!  Today I have a layout made with some wonderful products from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

My papers are My Mind's Eye, a collection from a couple of years ago. I pulled some chipboards, flowers and ribbons from my stash to put my layout together.

I applied 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape to cardstock, cut my sentiment on my Cameo, applied Japanese Lacquer EP and heat set.

 After coloring my large star from Technique Tuesday with Gelatos, I randomly stamped it with the Journal Mixed Media stamp set and VersaMark, and heat embossed with Pear Star EP. The sentiment here is from Camera Life, and I have heat embossed it with Black Detail EP.

I love adding little bits of lace and ribbon to my layouts, and these styles that are new in the shop at Sparkle N Sprinkle are perfect for my style!

To see all the details on this layout, visit My Gallery at Sparkle N Sprinkle.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and have a wonderful week!

Winter? Bring it on! Sparkle N Sprinkle Layout

Hi everyone, today I want to share a layout I made using the new stamp set Finn's Scarf DIGI#672 for Sparkle N Sprinkle. 

I used my Silhouette Cameo's Print and Cut feature first, then used my PITT® Pastel Pencils from Faber-Castell to color the image. My papers are the new Lawn Fawn Snow Day.

 

I heat embossed my chipboard snowflakes with Mediterranean Star EP, then again with Opaline EP on top. I added stripes of sparkle on my border paper by applying 1/4" Tear-ific Tape, then burnishing with Seaspray GL. 

I used a stencil and molding past on the background, then sprinkled parts of it with Arctic EP. I also stamped on the background with Flourishes 1 #516, and heat embossed with Arctic EP.

 

After coloring with m pastel pencils, I added a few highlights with a white pen.

Here are a few of the products I used on my layout:

Arctic(EP320)

Opaline(EP359)

Mediterranean Star(EP429)

Seaspray(G1023)

Handmade Cards - Designer Crafts Connection Web Ring

Good morning everyone- now that Halloween is over, I am determined to get a jump start on my Christmas prep this year. Every single year I say I am going to start early and every year I am always behind! This is going to be the year I am up on the game- I promise!

This month's theme for the Designer Crafts Connection Web Ring was a perfect  jump start for me- it is HAND MADE CARD(s)! 

Designer Craft Connection


[ Hop back ] [ Hop forward ]

You can use Hop Forward and Hop Back on the logo to go through the web ring to see all the amazing things from made by the designers in the group.
I decided to make tags.

So I have this bad habit of shopping online when I should be sleeping at night,, and last week I picked up a case of 1000 tags for $8!!! I pulled out my bucket of Christmas "stuff" and made a bunch of tags.

You know those outline stickers- well I have had these for YEARS- and I mean YEARS.

A K&Co overlay that I bought back when I still worked retail- which was a looooonnnngg time ago. I adhered it to the tag, trimmed the excess, and then inked the tag that was still showing.

 

More of the outline stickers and a wood shape that came from who knows where.

 Who remembers the Making Memories metal shapes? 

Be sure to hop all the way through the web ring.

Thanks so much for stopping by today- 

I love you comments - be sure to leave me one :)
