After It Rains

Hi Everyone,

Today I want to show you the wonderful

new collection by Jayne Nestorenko, called the 

"Adorables Summer Collection"

This collection has 12 sets of stamps and a wonderful CD-ROM.

Today I used the

Adorables-Summer-Collection-CD-ROM

and three of the stamp sets.

 Hide-And-Seek 

Wash-Day-Wishes

and

Secret-Garden

You can find all of these wonderful

new items on the

Crafter's Companion.Website

Here is my Project:

The background was created with the Cd Rom,
with layers of the decoupage pages.
And I colored the stamps in with my
 Spectrum-Noir Markers.

This was from the "Wash Day Wishes" and the
"Secret Garden" stamp sets.

All three duck stamps are from the
"Hide And Seek" stamp set.

I added crystal lacquer to the water.

And to the door.

Then added "Flower Soft" to the flowers
for some extra dimension.

This project can be hung on the wall or stand on a dresser.

I had a great time making this!!

I hope you enjoyed the project.:)

Sent With Love

Hi Everyone,

Happy Forth Of July!

Today I want to share with you the new

stamps from Ian Hallows called

"Mulberry Woods"

They will be released July 5th.

So pop over to Crafter's Companion

tomorrow and check them out.

Here is my selection:

I started out with Premium Card Stock,

then stamped out the images.

Cut them out with one of the QuickKutz

Doily Rectangles, and colored them

in with my Spectrum Nour Markers.

I added some fluff to the hat for a little dimention, and crystal laqure to the snow flakes for the look of little water doplets.

I placed them on gold pearlized card

stock with some foams dots.

Then added a red ribbon at the top and

a pointsetta flower.

I am going to save this for Christmas,

and put it with a gift I want to send to

to a good friend.

Please remember to stop by the

Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog.

A Year In The Life Of A Tree

Hi everyone,

Today I want to share with you a
wonderful stamp from the 
Art-Cure, line of stamps.

I just love this tree stamp!!!

You can make the tree into what

you need for your project.

This is the front of the card.

Just a simple die cut tree from

Memory box inc. called Arboscello tree, layered on red and black card stock

over a white base.

For the base I used a 17 by 5

piece of card stock folded in half,

then in half again, to make an M shape.

This is so I have room to

place four trees.

I stamped out 4 trees and using spellbinders dies, cut them out and embellished them

with flower soft, Spectrum-Noir Markers,

and pearls to look like apples.

The tree started out plain. I added

some color in the background

for the sky, and then a little

 color in the tree. Then used the flower soft.

I did this with all four trees.

Coloring first, then adding the

embellishments.

 Placed them on the card, over a

piece of red card stock, layered

over the white.

I started out with winter.

You can see how beautiful this stamp is!

Then in the spring, when the tree

has all the blossoms, adding 

a little light green.

For summer, I added darker greens,

and the apples.

(yes those are apples LOL)

Then I used fall colors, orange

and yellow. Adding a little pile of leaves

on the ground.

( I know an apple tree doesn't

normally turn these colors, but  I

wanted to show how you can change

the colors to make the tree different)

It's all in fun :)

This is what the card looks like open.

 

All these trees from one stamp.

To see this stamp and all the wonderful

new stamps from the Art Cure Line.

Go to Crafter's Companion.com

and check them out.

Also don't forget to check out the

 Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog

This month the theme is sunshine

or yellow. The prize this month is

30.00 in gift certificates.

Just use a Crafter's Companion

stamp, make a project and enter.

That's it, so easy.

I hope you enjoyed the project today.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

Crazy Love

Hello crafters,

I hope everyone is enjoying the

Anthony and Burt stamps.

These stamps are so much fun!

My brothers birthday was this week.

I like the fact that you can use these stamps

for the guys in our lives.

Today I wanted to show you the

Anniversary card I made.

First I found some wonderful paper in my scrap basket.

The words "Crazy Love" says it all.

I distressed the edges with some

Jumbo Java ink, by Versa Magic

and used the

Extra Strong Permanent Tape

to secure it down.

Then just rolled the edges toward the center.

I stamped out 9 little hearts and made the

Tic-Tac-Toe game.

I added a little twine and the front was done.

For the inside of the card.

I stamped out Anthony and Burt

" My Heart Belongs To You".

Cut the middle of the heart out. Then I place

the little tiles( by doodle bug designs) on pop dots, 

to show how many

 years they were married.

Added the heart tiles at the bottom and

all finished.

Crafter's Companion

has a wonderful selection of

Anthony and Burt stamps.

And the

Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog

is giving away a set of stamps every week.

Pop over and check it out.

Pretty In Pink

Hello Everyone,

I know it's February, and here in Ohio

very cold.

I wanted to bring spring into the house.

This lovely stamp by

Sheena Douglas

was just the ticket.

Her line of stamps are called Paint Fusion.

The stamp I used from her collection is called

 Rose Blossom.

This is the release week. So if you

would like to purchase this beautiful stamp,

pop over to

Crafter's Companion.com

 and take a look at the new stamps.

This is what I created. 

I started out with a 5 x 7 piece of canvas board.

I followed the Video for the

Rose blossom stamp.

Sheena shows us how to do the basic techniques.

And them some!!!

I mixed green and white  and pounced

all over the canvas.

Stamped the leaves down, then painted.

Added some vines, then stamped the flower.

I painted the flower, then let the picture dry.

 Added the little Corner Stickers,

and now I have a little touch of

spring inside my home. 

Their are three new stamps.

Click on each one to see the video.
