Golden Ivy

Hi Everyone,

Today I am going to get out the heat gun

and do a little embossing.

The stamps I am going to use today

come from the wonderful world of

Sheena Douglass.

Sheena has a great line of products

called Paint Fusion. You can use paints with her stamps. Or as I did, use embossing powder.

You can purchase these items from

 Crafter's Companion.

Here are the two stamps I used.

Berries

Ivy

I started out with a piece of black chipboard.

Stamped the ivy images with VersaMark,

then dusted them with gold embossing powder.

Pulled out the handy dandy heat gun,

and voila, gold outlined leaves.

To give the leaves some color, I took a tiny

paint brush and dabbed some Pearl Ex

in the centers. ( If you use a brush stroke, the

Pearl Ex will go all over the place).

The colors I used,

644-Reflex Violet

685-Spring Green

I took the heat gun and went

over the powder to help it set.

After that I used the tiny flower from

the Berrie stamp and embossed them

 over the the leaves.

That's it!

Very easy, and something you may

want to try with your kiddos.

"Caution"

"( You use the heat gun!!)"

"( Never let children around)"

"(unattended heat sources)"

Always be safe!! 

:)  :)

Stamp something out, and let them color it in.

Place it on the Fridge, and you have

a masterpiece for life.

Sweet Pea Stamp

Hi everyone

This week I am having fun with my favorite

Stamps from Crafter's Companion.

I love working with any of the fairy stamps.

There are Flower Fairies And Fairyopolis products

to pick from.

 Today I thought I would combine them both.

This adorable stamp is from the

Flower Fairy Friends.

It is called Sweet Pea.

I started out with the Fairyopolis card stock.

The card stock and rubons, came from

the Fairyopolis-Complete-Cardmaking-Kit.

One piece I used for the card and the

 purple butterfly piece I ripped around the edges

 and placed it down using a good liquid glue.

I stamped the image on the card stock using Stick n Spray on the wonderful Rock-A-Blocks system. Then colored it in with the New Spectrum-Noir  markers. 

I colored two sets.  Cut the wings out of one set, then

attached them with small clear pop dots,

 To give it a 3-D effect.

Placed that down on the purple card stock

and added four Picture Stickers.

The butterflies are from the Fairyopolis Kit.

Just place them on the project and rub down.

Easy as pie!! (if you know how to make pie)

:-)LOL:-)

Here is another picture of the Project.

I hope you like it.

There are all kinds of fun prizes to be had

all this month. There is still time to make a project

and enter it in the contest.

So dig out all your crafting supplies,and Crafter's Companion stamps, make a mess, and have fun.

We would love to see what you come up with.

Fairy Dust

Hello Everyone,

Over the weekend I received a cute little stamp called

Silver Fairy from Whimsy stamps.

http://www.whimystamps.com/

I purchased it from a great company called

http://shop.sarahkaystampscom/

Super prices and fast shipping.

Tell them I sent you.

I stared out with some

Pearlescent card stock  from CRAFTER'S COMPANION.

I wanted to make a gate fold card.

So I pulled out

 The-Ultimate-Crafters-Companion tool.

This tool makes it so easy to score the folds

and make the card.

I stamped out the fairy on bleed proof

paper and colored it  in with my

SPECTRUM-NOIR MARKERS

These markers are alcohol based

 and come in over 160 colors.

Super easy to blend and create the effect you want.

I cut her out and placed her on

 a layer of gold and black card stock.

Then stamped the Birch Tree from the

Magnolia stamp set on the black paper

 with white chalk ink.

I found a great product called

CRYSTAL LACQUER

When you put it on something, it dries

 to a hard glossy finish.

You can also use it as a glue.

It works fast and hold very well.

 Here I used it on the wings .

On the front I added some prima flowers

and little leaves I cut out with my Big Shot

Machine using the cuttle bug leaf shape.

The middle of the card was cut out with

 the new Heartfelt Creations die called

Decorative Chateau Gate.

From Spellbinders.

Here are a couple more pictures.

To finish up, I punch butterfly wholes

 to string the ribbon through,

And tied bows to close it up.

I had a great time making this for you.

I hope you like it.

Thank you for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.
