Easter Egg Fun

Hi Everyone,

Today I want to thank Dawn for

the honor of being guest designer

on her blog.
 http://www.dawnscraft.com/

Dawn is amazing, as you well know, and

has so many wonderful projects.

She has helped me in so many ways

in my journey as a blogger and crafter.

This is what I have created today, I

hope you enjoy the Easter eggs.

I started with white acrylic paint

 and some paper mache eggs.

Painted them white, and let them dry.

Then pulled out some twinkling H20s,

rub ons and crafting foil.

You can use any kind of rub ons.

( The bugs are great for the boys)

I purchased these at the local craft

store. And the Fairyopolis decals are from

Crafter's Companion.

Then just have fun.

Rub the decal on first, then paint

over the top with the H20's.

If you don't have the H2o's just use

watercolor paints with a little pearl ex.

Or you can get "Iridescent Medium", and that makes everything water based sparkle.

(You can get that at Michael's)

After you get the eggs the way

you want them, just spray with a

glossy sealant. This way even if they

get wet they will be O.K.

For the craft foil, I just sprayed the

eggs with a good tacky glue and wrapped

the foil around it, and peeled it off.

Then sealed it.

So easy!

These eggs are for the older children,

or the  adult baskets, please do not put

them in the little ones baskets.

They may think they can eat them,

and that would be a no no.

Here are a few more pictures of some

 of the eggs I made, I hope you enjoy

them.

You will have splits and cracks

when you use the rub ons.

They were not designed to be put on

a round surface. Just do the best you can.

They are not meant to be perfect.

Just have fun!!!

These were so fun to make!!

Maybe this would be something you might

want to do with the kiddos.

The paper mache eggs can be kept.

You can use water color paints, just

like the ones they use in school.

And stickers.

Put some old clothes on the children

and make a day of it.

Start a new tradition.

If you have any questions about products

or techniques, please let me know.

Thank you for stopping by.

&

Have a happy Easter everyone.

Sheena Douglass,Treasures

Hi Everyone,

Today I will be working with the new stamps by

 Sheena Douglass

From her stamp line "A little bit sketchy".

I used this stamp to make a birthday card.

After layering brown, yellow and green card stock.

I stamped the image on white card stock and airbrushed it

with  splashes of green. I colored it in with my

 Spectrum-Noir Markers.

I used a little 3-D Crystal-Lacquer over the

 windows to give it a glossy look.

Then added the sentiment card with the

skeleton leaves and flowers.

I just love the Sheena Douglass line of stamps.

Pop over to 

 Crafter's Companion.com

Here is what Cathy has to say.

 Hello my crafty friends., Cathy here, 

Did you all have a nice weekend?  Did you all have fun celebrating St. Patrick's day.  I sure did, the weather here in Maine was gorgeous, specially Saturday.  Come on Spring!!!     

     Well, today is a special day for me, I was asked to be a guest designer  by Kathy at Kathy's Double K Krafts.  When she asked me, I was so excited..  The blogging  world is still kind of new to me, as well as the card making.  I just started a little over a year ago and I am so in love with it.  Soooo, that being sad, I set my mind to thinking what can I make for this special day, and the card below is what I came up with.  I tried to choose some festive papers to portray the excitement in making the card   for today.  I recently won these papers in a giveaway from  GlimpsesCrafts.com blog and thought they would be fun.

   As you can see, I decided to add "Hilda Hippo Tear bear"  which I made with the template and supplies I bought from   http://www.thebearyscrap.com/ recently.  I just love the patterns, they are made from acrylic and last forever.  Below you will find a list of the supplies i used for today's project.


1~Cardstock from DCWV
2~Prima marketing flowers
3~White ribbon
4~Rhinestones from Michael's

Hi Everyone:

Here in Ohio, it's in the 70's
all week. And it feels like spring.

Today, I  wanted to make a little

and used all the techniques to

make this project.

The first site is from Tami White, this lady is awesome. Thank you for the hat tin project.

Poppet Hugs

Hi Everyone,

Today I am going to show you one more of the

little Poppets. I think this set is so adorable.

These stamps have so much detail.

They have stamps for boys and girls.

Stop by Crafter's Companion and check them out.

For the front of the card.

I stamped her out on white card stock, and colored her in with my

Spectrum-Noir Markers.

Then inked the edges, and cut

 her out with a spellbinders die. Then

placed that on another layer of card stock and added the "HUGS"

sentiment. I punched out little hearts and weaved the

ribbon round the edges. Then placed lots of little

flowers and a bow in the corner and done.

For the inside, I had a piece of lace paper with roses on it.

I cut a square and placed it down on the card  then

airbrushed over it with splashes of blue.

Crafter's Companion has all kind of wonderful stamps.

They also have Card stock, runner tape, markers,

ink pads, etc, and a Gallery to see what to do with

all these wonderful things.

We have a  Challenge Blog if you want to make a project

 and win  some of the Spectrum-Noir marker, this month.

The theme is "Going Green".

Just make sure you use one of Crafter's Companion stamps.

We are also on Facebook and Twitter.

I had a great time making this card.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

Tilda On A Tea Cup

Hi Everyone

Today I had fun playing with my Magnolia stamps.

I adore these stamps!!

There are so many to pick from.

I used Tilda with Daffodil's, and the Tea Cup.

I started out with some petty green card stock.

Used the flowers from the "flower pot"

stamp set by "Close To My Heart".

Then took a piece of pink pearlescent card stock

from  Crafter's Companion and ran that through my

 big shot machine with the Sizzix, Distressed Squares,

embossing folder.  Placed that on top of the green card

stock and now it was ready for the stamps.

I stamped both Miss Tilda and the Tea Cup on Neenah

Card stock and colored them in with alcohol based markers.

Then cut them out and mounted them with foam squares.

For the little flower in Tilda's hand I used a small amount of

Flower Soft. I added some glitter on her shoe strings

and the Tea Cup. Then put the flowers and leaves at the top

and now it is ready to give to someone very special.

If you would like to see more of the

Tilda stamps

and accessories go to the

 Stamping Scrapping Website

and check them out.

I hope you enjoyed the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by!!

And have a scrappy day!!
