Champion Word Block by Darkroom Door!

Hi guys!

I have a card to share using the new word block stamp/CHAMPION by Darkroom Door.  Such a neat series of stamps. They are great for card backgrounds or to cut the individual words out for embellishments.

Stamp the Champion Word Block image on white cardstock. Shade with black ink.  Using the Stitched Borders set, add stitching to all sides of the image.  Mat on Black cardstock, then on white cardstock. Stamp the Roller Skates image on white cardstock and fussy cut the image out.  Shade with black ink. Add Wink of Stella for shimmer.  Stamp the word WINNER from the Champion Word Block and cut it out. Add shimmer to the word. Add the star rhinestones to the Roller Skates. Add corners and adhere all elements to the card front.  Speckle with black acrylic paint or black ink.

A small acrylic clipboard~ Clear Scraps!

Hi guys!! I have a  project using one of the new, small clipboards by Clear Scraps.  For this project I used the small Scalloped Landscape Clipboard.  This is so cute, actually all the clipboards are keepers!!!  I decorated this one, keeping in mind, I wanted to use it as a clipboard. So with that said, here it is~

The paper is by Kaiser Crafts. The photo can be changed out for paper . Either way works out great!!!  And it has the "super cute" factor going for it too!

This is just one, of many different styles and sizes.  They all have one thing in common ~ super cute !!!

Clear Scraps~ home decor!

Hi guys!

I have a home decor piece to show you using the cover from the Overall chipboard album 

by Clear Scraps.  This is a fun way to display photos.

The paper is by Kaiser Crafts.  The hanger it is on, is from a junkin' trip.

  So a doll hanger would work great:)

All I did was tie the chipboard Overall to the hanger, after it was decorated.

This is what I used by Clear Scraps~

Try It Tuesday~Clear Scraps & Kaiser Crafts!!

Hi guys!

I have an Acrylic Camera Album by Clear Scraps and Kaiser Crafts Hello Sunshine Collection

 to share with you  for Try It Tuesday!

  Combining these two make for a super cute mini album! 

Plus add a super cute baby in and it is a success!!

 I covered one side of the acrylic (another reason to love acrylic)with the Hello Sunshine

 Collection by Kaiser Crafts.  Zip Dry by Beacon was used to adhere the paper to the

 acrylic camera shaped pages.

The inside pages are embellished using the same paper pack by Kaiser Crafts.  The papers have many cute designs that can be cut out and used for embellishments.  It was a pleasure to work with Kaiser Crafts products!

Good time to try a mini album!!

Clear Scraps~ a tutorial!

Hi guys!!

I have a scrapbook page I did for Clear Scraps using the XL Dazed Shape .  It has the shape of a large postage stamp.  Very cool looking!!!

I wanted the clear to show, so I did it this way~

Instructions:

1. Remove the film from the front of the acrylic .  I always leave the back covered while I'm creating the page and then remove it when I'm finished.  No scratches that way.

2. Spray the front with Black irRESTible Texture Spray by Imagine Crafts. 

3. Let dry about 30 minutes. 

4. The middle strip of paper is 11 1/4" X 5".  I used the Hello Sunshine Collection by Kaiser Crafts.  Super cute!!!

5. Adhere the paper to the acrylic using Zip Dry by Beacon.

6. Embellish with cut outs and twine.

7. The two pumpkins are cut from acrylic sheets using the Tim Holtz Pumpkin Die.

8. Journal the information about the page.

Acrylic shaped scrapbooking pages look great displayed on a book stand and then later added to an album for storage.  Love the look acrylic gives!

more scrapbooking pages~cute ones!!!!

Hi guys {we decided I could call you guys cause it sounds way cooler, right) :):):)

So silly~these are a couple of layouts that I submitted and were not picked up. I used Paper Studio, 7gypsies, American Crafts, Bazzill and Kaiser.  {I removed the layout as it was requested after all, sorry about that}

I really loved the photos~I didn't take them myself I just begged to use them.  Just adorable!!!

 

This one has the same products and some K & Co.   I didn't take these pictures either (that's me in the blue shirt) last 4th of July with a couple really cute grands:):)

 

and the close up!!!

Try It Tuesday~a must see!!!

Hi everyone~I had this cute little chest { by Kaiser} in my stash for a couple of years and thought it was time to do something with it. I used Helmar Decoupage, Helmar 450 Quick Dry, Helmar Zapdots and Authentique/Uncommon.  The hardest part of this project was getting the little chest put together and aligned properly but after that was done, it went together quickly.

I covered the chipboard with Helmar's Decoupage and Authentique.  I sanded the edges and inked them very lightly.  This stage took some time.  Be sure to let each drawer dry completely.

This is a back view. I used the book text for this and loved how it looked with my "made by" stamp.

Inside the little drawers view~

The embellishments from Authentique are adhered with Helmar 450 Quick Dry and Helmar Zapdots! The shiny buttons are by Bazzill Basics and the crocheted flower by my mother in law { a handmade original}!!

This was a fun project to watch it come together ~ but it did take a couple of days to complete.  I let it dry really good after each use of the decoupage.  Hope you enjoyed this  and have a great day!

 See ya soon!!

Learning about Art Journaling {and other stuff}~

Good Monday morning!!  I have been busy scrappin' and being crafty~Some of what I have been up to, I can't show but decided to share some sneek peeks of a new class I'm taking!!!  It is called Soul Restoration by Melody Ross/Brave Girls~I'm enjoying it so much and especially all the art techniques~she is a whiz at this stuff.

This is the cover of one of my art journals~these are sneeks!!I don't want to give away her class. It is one of those that you need to go through the class to experience it for yourself and then you can decide the value!!

Inside sneek~adding art techniques with journaling~

A mini album~love using the old dictionary paper to cover chipboard!!  I used the Claudine Hellmuth Studio acrylic paints{watered down a bit} to add color to my pages.  For the collaging part~ I used Modge podge{Melody's choice}for this type of work.

The bird cage is by Tim Holtz and adhered with Helmar 450, fast becoming my go-to glue.  I used Kaiser pearls for the centers of the flowers. The flower punch is by Martha Stewart.

All of the images are by Melody Ross ~ super talented girl!!! Amazing ability she has been blessed with~ 

Hope you will be back for Try it Tuesday and something really cool for Wednesday!!! See ya soon!!
