Mixed Media Foiling Fun




Hello Everyone

Today I want to show you what I was working on
this past weekend.
First of all I want to thank
for the wonderful tutorial.

After the holidays I picked up these little pails.
You know all the holiday things are on sale,
so I  got all kinds of things.

These are so easy to make.
All you need is something to cover.
Odds and ends to glue on the project.
Heavy foil, ( the kind we use cook the turkey).
Some paints and glossy spray varnish.
That's it.
Then just dive in and get messy.
I love the end result.

Here are a few pictures of the project.










They are going to be little thank you gifts.

I had a blast making them.
Pop over to the tutorial and see how easy
these little gems are to make.

Thank you for stopping by.
And have a scrappy day.

Hunsett Mill Norfolk Lantern




Hello Everyone

You have seen a sneak peek at the wonderful stamps from
Art-Cure.
These beautiful stamp sets are available  now at

I wanted to do something a little different today.
I stamped the image on frosted vellum
 and made a lantern to set on my table.
When you place the flickering candles inside,
it's very pretty and can be left out all year long.
A little tip, if you want the candle to be a different color.  Dab  the ink color of your choice to the top part of the candle. I used yellow on one and left one bright white.

The Hunsett Mill Norfolk stamp was one of my favorites because I love windmills.

Crafter's Companion has all kinds of beautiful stamps to
pick from. Pop over and take a look.

Don't forget about our  Crafter's Companion-challenge.blog
Just use one of our wonderful stamps.
Enter it in the contest.
And win some great prizes.
This month is so easy.
"Anything Goes"
Let's see those projects.

This is the lantern I made.




















( Here's to thinking outside the box. lol)
( O.K. that was bad :o) )

Thank you for stopping by.
 And have a scrappy day.

Marci with a Rose




Hi everyone

This week I found some wonderful stamps.
They are by La La Land Crafts.
And I just love them.
This one is called Marci with a Rose.
I used a combination of copic  and Spectrum-Noir
markers.
I have been  watching a few videos on
how to color and blend.
I had so much fun. Markers everywhere!
Tell me what you think, isn't she to cute?
If anyone has a site that I can go to with
a video to learn more about coloring
and blending, please let me know.
The little heart pin in the corner
of the card is a staple.
If you would like to know more
about these cute little embellishments
go to:
Purple Cows Pin It Stapler and Decorative Pins Kit
They have all kinds of staples.
Hearts, butterflies, leaves etc.
Pop over and take a look.
Have fun!!

KITTY KAPERS

                                                


   Hello Everyone



    My name is Kathy, and this is my first card for the Crafter's Companion Design Team. I am very honored and excited to be a part of this talented team of ladies.

Today I want to introduce one of the new stamp sets called
Strawberry-Kisses 
This adorable little miss is having a good time playing
in a flower pot.



I started out with a Center Step Card.
 this project  fun and easy. It has both a cutter and a tool for scoring.
To get the lines nice and crisp I used the
to finish up the score lines.




I punched out six little flowers and stamped them with
the oh so cute flower that is in the set. I added
a little glitter and mounted them with pop dots.

I stamped out two sets of the kitty.  Colored them with the new alcohol based  Spectrum-Noir markers. Then cut one of the flowers out and mounted it with a pop dot to give it a 3-D effect. Again, a little glitter to make it pop and you have a card
for just about any occasion.


I had so much fun making this card.
To see all the new Strawberry-Kisses stamp sets
and other wonderful products go to
and  treat yourself to a shopping spree!
If you go to the site now, you can pre-order the markers and be one of the first to have them.

Make a project and enter it in our  Crafter's Companion-challenge. 
This month is "Anything Goes".
Have fun.

Thank you for stopping by.
And have a scrappy day.
