Ornaments, Baubles and Bells....Oh My!

Hi there, I hope you are all having a wonderful week. Things around my house are pretty crazy in preparation of the upcoming holidays. I hope things aren't too crazy for you!

Today Papercraft Star opened another challenge! This week your challenge is to include a bell or ornament somewhere on your project, and they have provided us with this beautiful photo as inspiration. (photos are always use if you choose)

I decided to take this challenge literally by creating a couple of ornaments.

I used a glass ball ornament I purchased at Michael's some time ago as my base. I then printed Victorian Ads II by The House Across The Bay on tissue paper (I simply taped the tissue paper to printer cardstock and ran it through my printer) and mod podged it on in sections. After the ornament was dry, I sprayed them with Iridescent Gold glimmer mist to add a little shimmer.

Once that dried I decorated the ornaments with some seam binding I colored with my new Lindy's Starburst sprays, some elements cut from holiday picks and a feather for a little flair!

I think they are beautiful and I hope you enjoyed my post today!

Hop on over to the Papercraft Star blog and play along with us. You have until 6:00am EST on Monday December 19th to link up your projects for your chance to win!

Thanks for stopping by,
Regan

Oh Christmas Tree - Papercraft Star

This week at Papercraft Star, the challenge is to include a tree somewhere on your project. We have also provided this lovely inspiration photo that is always use if you choose.

I just love Christmas but I have to say it seems to be getting here too quickly! This year has flown by!! For the challenge this week, I created a Christmas card. I am always inspired by multi-media projects on canvases or in art journals, so that was some of my inspiration for this card.

I used the Text Writing Backgrounds CMS digital sheet from The House Across The Bay to create my Christmas tree. First I sprayed it with Spanish Moss and Wheatfields glimmer mist to give the image a green and shimmery look, once dry I punched 4 Scallop circles, inked the edges with walnut stain and cut them apart. Layer them up, fluff your scallops and voila, a tree! 

I typed my sentiment out on my vintage typewriter, cut them out, inked them and added an outline. The snowy hills were created from a label that I cut out on my Silhouette, cut apart, inked with tea dye distress ink and covered with frost white all purpose ink for shimmer. I am pleased with the way it turned out, and I think it definitely has a similar feeling to a mixed-media piece. 

I had some leftover inspiration, so here is an additional card for you.....

I hope you will leave a comment or any questions you may have below! Stop by the Papercraft Star blog and play along with us! Link up your projects by 6:00am EST Monday December 13th for your chance to win! Also, every Tuesday on the PCS blog we give a free digital image from THATB!

Faux Scrabble Tile Necklace - Papercraft Star

Hi There! This week at Papercraft  Star ANYTHING GOES!! :) I always enjoy these challenges because we get to see such amazing work from all of our participants!

By request of Miss Jan, I made some jewelry featuring the beautiful digital images from The House Across The Bay. She originally requested a bracelet but I didn't have all the stuff to make the type of bracelet I wanted. Instead I made scrabble tile necklaces using faux scrabble tiles I found at my local Hobby Lobby and the Christmas Squares digital sheet.

Enough rambling, here it is....

I inked the edges of the tiles; the poinsettia with gold Encore ink and the Santa with walnut stain.

I added some gold seed beads to the center of the poinsettia with glossy accents to add some texture and dimension to the piece.  I think they both turned out lovely. 

Jan, if you would like one of these please private message me with which one you would like and your mailing address. :)

I hope you will swing by the Papercraft Star blog and join us for this fun challenge. You have until 6:00am EST on Monday November 28th to link up your beautiful creations... See you there!!

Thank you for stopping by and

Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

Christmas Wreath

Today I thought I would share a Christmas card I made inspired by the Christmas Planners I made for a swap.

Here are the planners...

and here is the card....

I made this card with the same general idea, but instead of corrugated cardboard I used kraft cardstock. I ran the cardstock through my big kick with the wood grain embossing folder by Tim Holtz, then I  dry brushed it with white acrylic paint to give it a white washed look. I punched the branches out of scrap paper using the bird and branch punch by Stampin' Up! I traced a circle onto the card and layered my branches up around the circle to create a wreath. Add a bow and some small embellishments and your done! It kind of reminds me of a front door. :)

I hope you enjoyed my post today!

Thank you so much for stopping by,

Cardstock: kraft by The Paper Studio

Pattern Paper: green scraps in different shades and patterns

Tools: Bird and Branch punch by Stampin' Up!, Big Kick, wood grain embossing folder by Stampin' Up!, paint brush, and something round like a lid to trace a circle.

A Thank You Card - Papercraft Star

Well, it's Wednesday and that means another challenge has opened at Papercraft Star! This week the challenge is to create a thank you card. We have also been provided with this beautiful inspiration photo that is use if you choose.

I was really drawn to the glowing flames of the candles and the pumpkins in the photo.... 

Here is what I came up with.

The inspiration photo had a softness to it, so I really wanted to use vellum for the background rather than pattern paper. I dry embossed the vellum and added some color with Wild Honey Distress ink and stitched the piece on with my sewing machine. A simple banner is home to the sentiment.

I used the Romantic Lace digital sheet from The House Across The Bay and an oval punch to create my pumpkin base. I inked around the edges of the ovals with Wild Honey to achieve the look of the glow from the candles in the photo. For the stem/leaf I used the Halloween Backgrounds sheet and the boho blossoms punch by Stampin' Up!. I used some wire I cut from the little Prima rosettes and wrapped it around my paper piercer for a cute little vine. 

I was having so much fun with the vellum and layout that I ended up making a couple of other cards.

First, I made this beautiful yet simple Christmas card.

For this card I decided to put the sentiment behind the vellum for a soft snowy look. The snowflake was punched out of the Write Stuff Backgrounds digi sheet using the snowflake punch by Stampin' Up! Some Frost White all purpose ink adds a little shimmer to the vellum and snowflakes.

Then I thought, how cute would it be to add confetti behind the vellum....

I hope my post has inspired you to create something today. Stop by the Papercraft Star blog and play along with us! You have until 6:00am EST on Monday November 21st to link up your entries for our challenge this week. I look forward to seeing your projects.

Merry - Papercraft Star

Wow, this year is just flying buy! Thanksgiving is around the corner and before we know it - Christmas!!

The challenge this week at Papercraft Star is to include a number, so I chose to make a Christmas tag.

For the base of the tag I used a digital bingo card by Kenner Road that I purchased at 2peas. The beautiful snowflake is a cut from my Silhouette SD out of a background from the CMS text writing backgrounds 141 digi sheet by The House Across The Bay. I then cut several more snowflakes out of white cardstock and glued them all together to make a thicker snowflake. 

I popped the snowflake off the tag to add some dimension. I then stamped on a little coffee stained tag that I purchased from Kraft Outlet and added a key by K&Company. I used Stampin' Up! ribbon at the top tied with string from a coffee stained tag to add more color and interest.

I punched the Santa out of the Christmas Squares digi sheet 055 (by THATB) using a 1" circle punch and then popped him up in the center of the snowflake. I added glossy accents and glitter glass to give a snow & ice look to the snowflake. The tag is inked around the edges with silver Encore ink, heat & stick powder and glitter for a winter feel. I of course inked the edges of everything with tea dye and/or walnut stain - I can't help myself!

I hope that you enjoyed my project today and will join us for Challenge 70 at Papercraft Star! You have until 6:00am EST on Monday November 14th to upload your projects for your chance to win prizes from The House Across The Bay!

October Swaps for Your Paper Pantry

Hi, I hope that you are having a great week so far. This month I participated in a couple of swaps over at Your Paper Pantry. 

The first swap is called Many Things To Do and is hosted by Yolanda (yoliebean on YT). This month we were to create 3 Holiday organizers/journals (2 to swap & 1 for ourselves). Our challenge was to make the book with 25 pages or more, have labeled lists and to add our favorite recipe, go to gift or decor idea somewhere in the book.

I used capri sun boxes and white acrylic paint for the covers. To create the ornaments and wreaths, I used punches from Stampin' Up!, then I used my cinch to bind them. Find out more by watching the video HERE.

The next swap was for Baubles, Bangles & Beads hosted by me! This month we did a partner swap. We were to create a necklace for our partner using Tim Holtz products, and this is what I came up with for my partner Anna (afallas72 on YT). 

Find out more by watching the video HERE.

I hope you enjoyed my projects today!

Trim The Tree - Unscripted Sketches

It's time for Sketch it Saturdays at Unscripted Sketches!

For this sketch I created another 12X12 Christmas Layout.

For added interest, I hand stitched a pattern using pink thread onto the ornament die cut.

I used glossy accents and Bakers twine to create part of my title.

I enjoyed putting this layout together! It is a pretty quick & simple layout minus the time it took to hand stitch the ornament, that would be a good thing to do while watching TV with the family!

I hope you will share your creations with us! Link them up over at Unscripted Sketches!

Dear Santa - Unscripted Sketches

It is time for another Sketch it Saturdays sketch from Unscripted Sketches! I hope you are enjoying Christmas in July!

This week's sketch...

There is also a Piggy Back challenge this week.

Use wrapping paper somewhere on your project.

I chose to create a scrapbook layout for this challenge, with a Christmas theme of course! I used Tissue Paper, you know the kind you put in gift bags, on my project.

I attached the tissue paper to a piece of light weight chipboard using Mod Podge, I crinkled it up first. I inked around the edges of the page to add interest.

After that, it was just a matter of adding my photos and some fun embellishments!

I love the way the tissue paper background turned out and I hope to use it again on another project!

I hope you enjoyed my project today. Be sure to link your projects up over at Unscripted Sketches so we can take a peek at your creativity!

Now for my Tag of Christmas....

I created this tag using the Baroque Sizzix die by Tim Holtz. I used the die to cut a baroque shape out of Crumb Cake card stock and Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper, both by Stampin' Up!

Then I stamped the music score with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with Gold embossing powder. I stamped the tree using Whisper White Craft ink by Stampin' up! and then Heat embossed it with UTEE and then again with White embossing powder.

I used the negative from a chipboard letter from Stampin' Up!, ran my Walnut Stain Distress Ink pad over it, pressed it into my Versamark pad and then heat embossed it using UTEE. I backed the chipboard piece with vintage Christmas sheet music and cut a holly from the paper (I added Crystal Effects to it to make it sturdy) to add to the front corner.

I applied Olive Green and Timber Brown StazOn ink to the white tree using my finger to add some color and interest to the image. I did the same thing to the chip piece using the whisper white craft ink. I used the Scrollwork on the edge die as a mask and inked the tag using Walnut Stain distress ink.

Add a large Stampin' Up! Eyelet, some Kraft Taffeta Ribbon by Stampin' Up! and a grungy metal tag from KraftOutlet and your finished!

Merry Christmas to you and yours and thank you again for joining us for the Papercraft Star Tags of Christmas Blog Hop, your next stop on the hop is the talented Liz!

I Brake For Stamps - Snowflake Accordion Album in Ornament Tin

Hi everyone! I just wanted to take some time to share a project i created for I Brake For Stamps using the Fall/Winter Collage Sheet. It is an ornament tin that houses an accordion album!

I used this window tin to house my accordion album. I punched two holes in the top of the tin using my cropadile, ran some lace through and then I had an ornament! I will warn you it's a little heavy!

Here is a close up of the IBFS stamped image through the tins window....

 The accordion album...

I inked all the edges of the patterned paper with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I inked the stamped image with Tea Dye Distress Ink and then sprayed it with Wheatfields and Pearl Glimmer Mist.

Close up of Snowflake..

I stamped the image with versamark and then heat embossed it using Silver embossing powder. I stamped it twice more (just the snowflake section) and heat embossed it. I then cut the snowflake's different layers out and popped them up with pop dots to add dimension.

The snowflakes were sprayed with Fall Breeze, Patina and Pearl Glimmer Mist to add color and shimmer! I inked the smaller snowflake lightly with Walnut Stain to make it a tad darker. I love the way it came out!

Holly Jolly Christmas

Hi everyone!!

       I am back to share with you another card I made using stamps from I Brake For Stamps! I wanted to share this recessed frame card that I made using the wonderful Fall/Winter Collage Sheet!

I am always looking for ways to use a stamp in more than one way, this helps me to save money and get more mileage out of my stamps! When I saw the Fall acorn collage stamp, I knew instantly that I could use it for Christmas!!

Here is the image before...

and after......

I learned how to do the recessed card frame from Tracy!

Here's how I got the look....
I cut a piece of Very Vanilla Stampin' Up! card stock to 3 X 4 5/8
I stamped my Fall/Winter Collage Sheet image using versamark and then heat embossed it using gold embossing powder.
I colored in the leaves and acorns using the Old Olive Stampin' Write marker by Stampin' Up!
Then I inked around the edges using Walnut Stain Distress Ink by Ranger
Last but not least I added the red half back pearls as berries for my Holly!

I hope that you will give it a try!!
