Home Sweet Home

Welcome to my blog and I know it has been a while, I have been working on some new things and been a busy person. I have a surprise for you and I want to tell you that I'm on Scrapy Land design team and this is our First challenge we would love to have you join us at SCRAPY LAND BLOG. So I will be sharing with you a lot more things and all kinds of new things to make with die cuts. Challenge #1 is all about using die cuts on your card so your card or project can be anything goes using die cuts.

These are the die cuts I used on my card. Memory Box die cuts Country House, Arboscello Tree and Wrought iron fence. Impression Obsession die 066-C, Poppy Stamp Wild Flowers Patch.

My background paper is from my scraps. I also used some copic markers to give the house a little color. R29, RV02, YG95 and B12. I did some torn papers in a couple shades of green and used Martha Steward fringe scissors and the top of the torn papers. So if you can join us at Scrapy Land challenge #1, we would love to see what you come up with. Thanks so much for stopping at my blog and have a super day. My grandkids went back to school yesterday so that must make a lot of people happy. Have a wonderful week.

Early Bird

Welcome to The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and for this week out Twist is “Things that can Fly”. My choice for this week is a stamp by Designs By Ryn rubber stamp. He has some of the coolest stamps and I LOVE hummingbirds. The stamp is called “Flying Hummingbird 2”. She has a blog if you would like to stop by and check it out. The reason I titled this “Early Bird” is I get the magazine called Birds and Bloom and the issue from June/July 2010 I found what is called Allen’s and it said you can see this flier regularly only along a strip of the California and southern Oregon coasts, where it nests. One of the earliest migrants, the Allen’s hummingbird migrates north from Mexico as early as December, arriving at nesting ground in January. Once the female lays the second clutch of eggs, the adult male wastes no time heading back to Mexico, sometimes flying south as early as mid-May. The rest of the family follows later.

Our sponsor for the month of August is

http://www.markerpop.com/

The paper is from Die Cuts with a View the stack is the Botanical one. I sponged around with Brilliance color ink coffee bean. The pearl paper is a crimson color. I cut out the Hummingbird.

Used Tim Holtz’s alterations (new) shadow press called Hello 2, used the word “Beautiful” and my new Tim Holtz’s star cluster die. Added some big brown pearls.

Added one of Lasting Impression branch stamps for the inside and stamped it with the Brilliance coffee bean ink. Did some faux stitching on the inside also. Left it open for a stamped message or a written message.
 

These are the copic markers used to color the stamped image. I also used some wink of stella orange and black ink to give it the shine. Here is the close up.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you have a nice week end.

The papers are from DCWV the stack is called Alpha Zoo and I also cut the sentiment out of the paper from the stack. Added some of the Burlap paper from the DCWV stack. I had the ribbon it is furry. Then add a small turtle I had in with my embellishments.

For the inside I cut this sentiment out from the Zoo stack and added it. Let it open for a written message.

Entered my card in Thought the craft room door challenge/ Anything goes

Hope you’re back on your feet soon

Hello everyone, I’m back to share with you my card I made for The Outlawz Twist Thursday challenge for this week and as always the challenge is “anything goes” but we have a twist and this week our twist is “FEET”, we would all love to see what you can come up with. My feet are from Crackerbox Palace and they are so much fun. Here is where you will find the feet they are called Happy Feet large and I have the Feet Flower. The sentiment I used are also from Crackerbox Palace  and here are the Get Well sentiments they have about 3 pages. if you go to their suit they have a phone number you can call or you can place an order. Here is another great thing about their store if you want a sentiment made they will make it up for you and it does not take a lot of time, great place to shop. I stamped all the stamps with Memento tuxedo black ink and the paper I stamped everything on is X-press it.

Our awesome sponsor for the month of JULY is:

My paper is from DCWV called Burlap paper and the mixed media paper studio ribbon I purchased at JoAnn’s. Punched the sentiment out with Stampin up punches sizes 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 scalloped. 

I stamped the feet flower a couple times and cut it out and made it 3D and added a yellow pearl to the center. It is hard to see but I made a lady bug and put it on the toe and how I( made the lady bug was using some pearl pen ink colors red and black and put some small dots on some paper I would be able to remove them from when they are dry and after they are dry taking my permanent (small tipped)  pen and adding some very small black marks.

I added this sentiment for the inside, thought it was funny.

These are the copic markers I used to color my image and here is a close up of the stamp.

Thanks so much for stopping by, hope everyone has a wonderful week end. I do want to tell you my grandson Isaiah  from Spearfish South Dakota is here and I have been enjoying his visit, her is 16 year old now and I must say a really good looking young man. Her will be going back around the end of August.

 

They grow up so fast.

Dream

Over at The Outlawz Twist Thursday challenge is ANYTHING GOES and the TWIST for this week is ANYTHING GOES, so stop by and enter you card we would love to see it. I wanted to do something really different and I had one of these metal containers around for awhile. I got out my Alcohol inks by Tim Holtz’s. The colors I used are butterscotch, terra cotta and stream. Also the blending solution. Our sponsor for the month of July is Anne’s digital images.

www.etsy.com/shop/annesdigitalart

I did take pictures from all sides so you can see how it turned out. After I added the colors and that depends on you how dark you want it to be or how light. Like for the top I added the butterscotch on one on the felt pads but remember (if you do not change your pads you will make mud) to change your pad it you are changing colors like I did with the stream color. I added some of the blending solution to another pad and if your color is too dark you can whip some off. 

Now for stamping on the metal, I put some blending solution in a paper towel (pretty wet) put the stamp in the solution and stamped on top of the desired area.

When you use 2 colors when they meet it can be a little messy so I added some ribbon around the metal container. I ran my tap on top of the tap and then applied it to the metal. You can use anything for the front. I punched out 2 flowers and punched out a small hole in both so I could add the ribbon to them. Added speckles glitter glue colors gold and magenta.

Tried some ribbons to the top handle. I took 2 pictures of the top so you can see how I added the different colors to the top area. That was the (very lightly) terra cotta and stream.

Believe it or not this is not a mess thing to do and it is pretty fast. All the stuff dry's real fast. It give a nice polish stone look and the solutions are all formulated to lighten and blend. Any questions just let me know.  So if you never tried this it is fun and easy. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.
