Peachy Keen Challenge #41:: 3D:: Wall Art

And I am barely making it with 30 minutes to spare, LOL!  But I just had to play my Peachy keen Challenge.  
The kids Halloween went great.   It's the first time in years that they actually got to go trick or treating around the neighborhood.  In San Francisco, Vegas and San Diego they just went to the mall.
So I decided to make a frame to put in my daughter's room I wish I could take a better picture but not cooperating with me right now.

Size 5 x 7

DP is for DCWV Cherry Limeade (Beautiful Stack by the Way)

Angel is from the January 2012 PKS Stamp of the Month

Prayer is from the Lil' Tweets Thanksgiving

Witches Hat

Hi Everyone,  Today is my day over at Jaded Blossom and I have a picture tutorial for you.

Here is what I used:

Flag Die and Flag Die 2

 

Here is what I used to make my Witch Hat

I also used an Embossing Gun and my Big Shot

Trendy Twine Orange Licorice, Gray Licorice,

Grape Licorice and Lime Licorice

First I started cutting Triangular Strips of paper about 5 - 6

It will look like this

then using my foam brush I applied the strips using some Mod Podge

From all my coordinating scrap paper to cut out the flag dies

I also heat embossed some of the sentiments from 

Halloween Treats and Best Witches

 

I also added some twine on the Hat.

Here is the Final Project.

Jaded Blossom September New Release Blog Hop

Hi Everyone! So, did you enjoy all the projects this week. I just love this Release and you will to.  I am so happy that it's finally for Sale for you to purchase them.
Now if your here from Kim then your in the right place, if your just passing thru start at the beginning because you don't wanna miss anything.  I also have the complete line up at the bottom.
If you missed my projects this week here is the highlight of it

Here is what I made:

All you need to make your very own Candle Decor is 

The Candle, Wax Paper and Gift Tissue Paper

and of course your Jaded Blossom Stamp Set.

I just Stamped my Image and Sentiment on the Gift Tissue Paper (Any Ink) and just went over it a bit with some Copics and Glitter Pens.  Make sure you have Paper underneath the tissue paper or the copic will bleed out. After your done just cut it out and place it on your candle, put wax paper around it and hold it tight and then heat emboss you will see the tissue melt into the candle.

For the Subway candle I pretty much arranged all my sentiments on the Tissue Paper and then just put the stamping block on top of it so it stays in place.  Then same thing cut it out to fit your candle, put wax paper around it and hold it tight, then heat emboss.  Don't do it too long or the candle will melt.  Also use a new wax paper each and every time.

For more directions, you can go HERE.

Teacher Appreciation Week

Here is another project I made to give to my son's 2nd Grade Teacher.  I altered a clipboard that I got at Walmart.  My son's Teacher is truly amazing.  She is like the BEST!  All of us Parents also contributed to give her a Gift Certificate for a Massage.   She really does deserve the very BEST.  

ALL the Stamped Sentiments are from Emma of My Creative Time My Teacher Rocks! Stamp Set.  You can find them Here.  I just love her stamps and this is definitely a must have.

 (Above) 
This polka dot apple also came with the Grade School Paper Pack, I just stamped with the My Teacher Rocks!  Isn't that cute?  I love it.

(Above)
For this one I used the Hello Kitty Greeting Cartridge and did some faux stitching.  On the apple I stamped it with the My Teacher Rocks! stamp set

I used DCWV Grade School Pack to cover the clipboard Front/Back.

The word that says "I love my Teacher" came with the Grade School Paper Pack.


BTW, Emma has designed a special stamp called Race for a Cure ~ By purchasing this set you are partnering with My Creative Time to help "Stamp Out" breast cancer. For each set that is purchased, My Creative Time will donate $2 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure!

1st Try

I saw this at the Sweet Pea Stamps blog and wanted to try it out.  I thought it came out pretty good.  I really like it.  Let me know what you guys think.  I colored the image with Copics and some of Sakura's Glitter Pens.

The image is called Ching-Chou Kuik's Carnation of May.  I love coloring her images.  It is just so detailed.  I really do need to start writing down though what colors I use.  Unfortunately it's really hard because all my pens are on the table and I could never decide what colors to use before hand.  I am more like what ever comes to mind kinda coloring.

Altered Frame

Hello Everyone,

This is a project I was working on Today, well some of last night too.  It mostly came together this morning because last night out of frustration I was on the verge of tossing it out.. hehehe~ This wasn't my first altered frame but my 3rd but the 1st 2 was really easy.  I gave it to my son's 2nd grade teacher.  I wish I didn't forget to take a picture of that one though.

This one was a headache, I think it's because the glass frame was actually glued to the frame already and I really wanted to put a ribbon on it but couldn't.  Also I have less than 2 weeks till the end of my pregnancy and my body aches when I am  crafting since I love to craft standing up.

Well here is a picture of what I made, it's a Xmas gift for my Mother....

I got this frame from Michaels last night.  I bought 2 but I think I will be returning 1 of them because like I said it was just so difficult for me to alter it, maybe because I am tired, but it was just frustrating....

The paper line I used is K & Company - Wild Raspberry.  I then inked the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Tea Dye.  I also sprayed the whole frame with some Tattered Angels - Glimmer Mist in Pearl.

 This sentiment is from HSN's 3 Birds Line and also flocked.

 This flower is made out of scrap paper from the same line.  I used the Stacking  Daisy Punch and just curled them with a pencil tip.  The bling is Imaginisce I-Rock.

 The flower is from Prima, brad is from Ki Memories it came glittered.  The Butterfly is Martha Stewart Punch, which I used UTEE to emboss it and Martha Stewart Fine clear glitter.  The pearls I just found in my stash, but I think it's from Michaels.

 Again I used the Marvy Uchida Stacking Daisy Punch on this one and just curled the edges.  The bling is from HSN's 3 Birds line.

I think towards the end I am pretty happy with the results, I hope my mom likes her Christmas Gift.
