Tilda With Tulips



Hello Everyone,

           I hope your week has been going well.

This past week or two I was browsing

on the Internet and found some of the

cutest stamps. The Magnolia world of

 stamping. They have so many different

 stamps. There is Tilda, Erwin,

and all their friends. What makes them

super cool, is the backgrounds and the

 mix and match characters.

      This stamp is called Tilda with tulips.

Isn't she to cute. Then I picked out the

watering can for her to sit on.

I know I probably went overboard with

all the things I put on the picture, but

that's how we learn. And you must have

fun with it. You know what I  mean.

Put things on, take things off, cover glue spots

 with flowers, LOL . We all do it. If we are happy

with it,Yay!! If not, we tare the things we

can use off it and start over.

Am I right?

I used a piece of black chip board to

start with. I cut out an easel to put on the back

so it would stand up. Then just went a little crazy

and layered paper, used my spellbinder dies,

airbrushed some flowers and so on.

The markers I used are called

 Spectrum-Noir

and you can find them at the 

CRAFTER'S COMPANION  website.

They are alcohol based markers

 and come in 163 different colors.

They also work in a well know brand

 airbrush system. They are great

quality, at an even greater price.

Pop over and check them out.

 Here are some pictures of what I came up with.

I hope you like them.

I would like to Thank the

Photographer who took these pictures.

My Wonderful Hubby Frank!!

Thank you for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

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

RACH0113

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

CRAFTER'S COMPANION

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.

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.

Using my Clever Cut-5-in-1-Paper-Trimmer made

 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

CRAFTER'S COMPANION ULTIMATE TOOL

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

CRAFTER'S COMPANION

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.
