Photograph & Remember!

 Hi Crafting Friends!

I can't believe we are half way through the year - time is flying!

Today I am sharing some vintage tags using stamps and stencils available in the store along with vintage collage elements and bits and pieces.

I made the tags backgrounds with stencils, texture paste and Lindy's Magical.

Stencils used: 

Eye Stencil & Blocks Pattern both designed by Dead Sea Toons

Stamps used:

"Dots" on tag background from the Half Sheet Numbers & Flowers

Window Frame stamped onto white card and fussy cut

I then added Tim Holtz vintage "heads', some vintage ephemera, hessian, lace, acetate embellishments - they are a bit of a mix of vintage and modern which I love!

Sea Turtle Card

 Hello from design team member, Heidi.  Summer is here and bring on the beachy crafting!  One of my favorite stamp sets for this is I Brake for Stamp’s By the Sea Rubber Sheet.  It has fun images, especially this Turtle, in two sizes.

How I made this card was by first sponging blue ink over the center of my white card.  I used the same ink to stamp several of the little stamps on the back ground. I think I used the shell, the seahorse and the fish.  Then I splattered some water drops over top.

Second, I used a blue cardstock and die-cut it to a rectangle. I sponged the same blue ink around the edges here. I stamped and colored the turtle on white.  I trimmed it out.  I then added my sentiment and put the turtle right front and center.

I like to be able to mail flat cards, so I didn’t add anything else, but this card would look great with some knotted twin.

I hope you are enjoying your summer and summer crafting!

Take My Hand Walk Beside Me

 Hi Crafting Friends!

I've been doing a lot of art journal spreads for the past few months which I get a great lot of satisfaction from.

Today I am sharing an art journal inspired by @art_journallove - I have been watching a lot of inspiring videos and trying a lot of new techniques.

I've used the following products available in store:

Woman's Head

Monarch Journal Stencil by TCW

Take My Hand Walk Beside Me set includes phrase, sun, eagle

I used the Monarch Stencil and paint to create the background on the page.

I stamped the woman's head, eagle and phrase on white cardstock and cut out.

The sun was stamped on acetate, heat set, fussy cut and painted with white on the back.

I then arranged my elements and adhered to the page along with some mark making to finish off!

I love the look of limited colours on this page.

Masking Tape "Make Over"!!!

 Hi Stamping Fans!

Hope everyone is well and getting to enjoy some time for stamping & crafting!

Here in Australia it's Winter which means I get more time to create and play with all my rubber stamps and excess crafting items!

Today I have some homemade "washi tape" to share with you using masking tape, paint and of course stamps available in store!

I started with strips of masking tape - I used a piece of acetate to lay the masking tape on - keeps the "sticky" and also I didn't have to worry about the excess paint and stamping!

This is so easy to do - you can use any colored paint and any of your fav background, pattern and filler stamps to decorate. You can rip it up or use in strips as is - perfect for all your mixed media creations!

Currently I'm in a vintage, monochrome "mood" so I've been doing a lot of creating with neutral and brown tones in my journals and altered art creations!

Stamps used:

Background Grunge Set by Pam Bray

Vintage Tape Measure & Reel Stamps

Clean & Simple Mask-uline Floral Technique

 Hello from design team member, Heidi.  I have always thought that there is no reason why flowers should not be masculine.  Every guy I know likes flowers.  Anyhow, it is corny but I decided to use a flower and masking and make it sort of a masculine card.  

I used this HUGE Dahlia stamp.  It is such a great stamp, I use this one a lot.  

1) I used a grid to mask a straight section of my card front.  I used Mint Tape, and I didn’t even measure how wide it is.  

2) Stamp right over the tape so that the flower shows up on either side.

3) Using both the tape and a ruler, use a black marker or pen to draw a border on the flower.  I didn’t extend beyond the stamped image, but depending on what length of sentiment you will use, you totally could extend it, even to the edge of the card. 

4) Remove the tape and then stamp your sentiment in between the lines.  

I finished the card by coloring just little parts of the flower with a light grey and a green marker. I then matted the card front with grey cardstock and voila, a clean and simple Thank You card, suitable for any recipient.  Even a guy.

This card uses Quarter Sheet Dahlia stamp set and also the sentiment comes from Fall Rubber Stamp set by Pam Bray Designs.
