A Fun Stampers Journey Gift Set

Hello there crafty friends.

Today I'm sharing with you a little gift set I made with my daughters girls scout troop for Mothers Day. I had made all the girls pre-cut kits. I did let them stampthe flowers and used the Journey Grand to die cut the flowers. I thought they would get a kick out of that instead of using scissors. The class was a hit. The Bow die is probably one of the coolest dies I've ever seen. We used the little box die and filled it with Hershey kisses. 

I had the girls stamp the flower on the white card stock and then take the die cut one and add a foam dot adding height and dimension. Which is the same thing I did for the flower on the box. These papers are from the Yummy and Delicious Collection. You can check out the dates of the Yummy and Delicious Tour HERE!

Teacher Gift Idea - Celebra'tions!

The end of the school year is quickly approaching and there's nothing better than a little coffee gift set to give to your child's teacher! 

I've made this adorable little gift set using Richard Garay's Celebra'tion by Spellbinders.

I have used 2 stamp sets for these projects. They really compliment each other well. The coffee set is called, 'Cup for two'. The other set is a combo die and stamp set. I just LOVE how convenient that is. The stamp set is called, 'Sweet Treats'.

Notice the depth of the heart on the card? Well, I took the Celebra'tion's Pierced Hearts Die set and cut the heart from the cup. Then I took the same heart die and cut out a heart in the cup with the words on it. I used foam dots to pop up the piece of card stock with the blue cup on it. and then I put the heart with words on it in the center of the cup but gluing it down to the blue piece of card stock.

Anyone who loves coffee would love this little gift set. 

Thank's for visiting today.

I hope you have a wonderful week!

Creating a Fun Stampers Journey Stamp Collage.

Hi there Crafty friends!

Today I have a Fun Stampers Journey Post to share.

I want to share some of my tips on layering inks and creating a mixed media look. 

Whether you are creating a card, box, tag or any other project. I suggest taking a piece of card stock that is a little larger than your actual project. For example, the piece I started with was a little bigger than this box I made using Fun Stampers Journey Treat Box Die DI-0006. Reason being is if your card stock fits your project you are going to be thinking where exactly you want to stamp each stamp pattern. We want a 'random look right, off-center. So for me this is the easiest way I can achieve that look.

So now I have my card stock I'm going to create a little collage.

• First I stamped my Ink Splat Stamp Set AT-0108 in my Pineapple Smoothie Ink pad IP-0014
• Then I stamped the Honeycomb Stamp AT-0090 in my Blue Lagoon Ink IP-0002 (stamping off one time first)
• Then I took elements from the Banner Party Stamp Set SS-0009 using both the Pineapple Smoothie and Blue Lagoon with the star and hearts.
• Then I took the little square with dots stamp from the same set and I did NOT ink it fully so I can have this scattered dots look using my Black Licorice ink pad IP-0041. 
• Stamp the sentiment from the Lift ME Stamp Set AT-0008 also in Black Licorice.
• I added some Blue Sky Journey Sequins

After I trim my paper down to now fit my project I inked the edges in black giving a little border. Then, I added this adorable little Hot Air Balloon from the Lift Me Stamp Set. I used a foam dot to give this some dimension. Wrap some ribbon and pop a bow on and voila!  

A daring little gift box!

I hope you enjoy the rest of your week and have a crafty weekend!

Sweet Elle from Unity!

Good Morning Friends!

Today I have a Baby Set to share with you. 

I used the adorable Stamp Set from Unity Stamp Co. Sweet Elle. 

I used this brown paper bag and created my own little gift bag by covering the front and back in patterned paper. I then cut out my Sweet Elle in a circle. and colored her in with my Copics. I used N0, N1, N3 and N5. The balloon is Y26, Y21 and Y0000. The heart is BG15, BG11, BG10, BG0000. 

The little pouch is so simple. You ccan pretty much take any size rectangle and tape the ends in opposite directions. I use double sided tape and crimp the edges. of each closed piece. 

You could use these as a gift wrapping, or even put them as place settings at a baby shower. 

Super cute little idea and Sweet Elle would be the most cutest theme, too!!

Have a great week everyone!

Bloom Girl Sharon Mixed Media Notebook!

Hello crafty friends, It's my turn to post on the Bloom Girl DT Blog!

I have an altered notebook to share with you. I will be completely honest. About 20 min into this project I was like ok, I'm done... this looks HORRIBLE! I almost turned off the camera. Then I was like you know what.. let's go with it.. I can always delete the video and start over.. I might as well try some new ideas and techniques. So I did and I'm so glad I did, too!

 

 

Here's my notebook I came up with.


 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed the photos.. I hope you will check out how I created this in my video below,

We will actually be making these at my Class over at This n That Scrapbooking in Chino Hills on December 3rd. You can find more information on the class over on the This n that Website.

A Lili of the Valley Christmas Gift Set.

Hi there crafty peeps!

 

Here's on of 2 of the project gift sets we will be creating at my class at Custom Impressions this Friday! Isn't it super cute!

 

 This image from Lili of the Valley and is called Shine a Light. I love the rich BG color of this Copic Combo. I used BG72, BG75, BG78 and N7. GORGEOUS! The card is simple, The base is actually an envelope, perfect for a gift card or money for a friend, co-worker teacher etc. I have also made a matching Candle. I really wanted to focus on the pleats in her coat and again show everyone how adding a little 'N7' really makes a huge difference in depth when coloring. My students know it as my 'make it pop'. :o)

 

If you are interested in this class please Contact Custom Impressions.
 

 

Have a wonderful day.

I have used my Bloom Girl Sharon Stamp. Which I just LOVE! I colored her in using my Copics. The flowers and papers are by Prima. This collection is so super cute, it's called Coffee Break.

Tomorrow I'll be heading out to Puerto Rico and this is actually one of the projects we are making this Saturday at Scrapbooking Gallery PR.

Will things ever slow down? I'll tell ya my bags under my eyes are sure going to weigh me down!

I do love the way it came out though.

 

I have a coloring video I did on Coloring 980191 Bloom Girl Jing. I was hoping to have it up today. But -- Time has not allowed. So, next week it will have to be!

Bloom Girl Bag and Challenge over at Prima Marketing!

I'm so excited to share this next Bloom Girl project with you.

 I have decorated my Prima Marketing Bloom Girl Bag with my Bloom Girl 'Summer' Stamp. I absolutely LOVE the way this came out.

 

I stamped my image and painted it acrylics. I used some bubble wrap for the circles. I love her eye and the way her hair turned out. Her skin was a little tricky. Overall for my first time ever using acrylics and on canvas I'm over the moon with my results!

 

This bag is huge! It also has a zipper and is amazing quality.
 All the ladies at my Class at Custom Impressions Scrapbooking loved it and this might be our project for November so keep an eye out here or my facebook page.

 

You can check out my bag and some of my BloomGirl Design Team Members

Some DIY Home Decor!

 

Hello crafty peeps!

Here's a little project I did last week. I woke up and had this idea about the flower in the frame. I just LOVE this teal-ish color. BV70-78 one of my favorite color combos out of all my Copics!

This stamp is from Marion Smith, so are the little butterflies... and the paper in the background.

This frame is all black and I actually got it from the .99 cent store. Then I distressed it with some white paint. I love it! Of course I had to do the 'no line coloring technique'.

This frame is sitting on my favorite little table with my cute little lamp.. I will have to take a picture and post it. :)
