Merry Christmas mini album cover

Hello my dear crafty friends! Today I made an  easy and quick tutorial for you  with new IBS, just released stamp  Festive Greetings stamp set.


I decided to make the mini album cover, but it's still 4*6'' size, so it can be done as a card.
Here are the steps to make this project:
1. Arrange a piece of Green burlap, a piece of Red and Green pin dot cardstock and a piece of All wrapped cardstock over the journal cover as shown.Heat emboss the edges of both cardstocks with Gold embossing powder , using VersMark ink.

2.  Paint the chipboard with red acrylic  paint and heat emboss with Clear embossing powder to get the shiny look.
3.Stamp the sentiment over the oval chipboard with red ink and arrange into the smaller painted frame over the cover. Mist it all with golden mist and let it dry.

4.Stamp the light bulbs bottom stamp with different pigmented inks and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.

5.Stamp the upper Light bulb stamp over the first layer with VersaMark ink and heat emboss with Gold powder. Hand cut all bulbs.

6.Arrange the hand cut bulbs over a piece of  jute with 3D foam glue dots. Add the pearls and cover each stamped piece- the sentiment too- with glaze. Let it dry and enjoy your album cover!

Angels place cards

A very small , but yet lovely project I made for Just Christmas cards and decorations! print 2015 issue and this was already printed.
I used Canvas Corps corrugated cardstock;Canvas corps  patterned cardstock and Canvas Corps red burlap as the base of those place cards.
Then I stamped the angels (100 Proof Press stamp) with 3 different embossing powders heat embossing and hand cut them to be placed over the cards.
Happy Holidays sentiment is stamped inside and it's a Rubber Dance stamp.
I also added WOW! Embossing Powders names (dad, mom, etc) on the corner to make those a real place cards.

Good friends layout with Canvas Corps

A page I've done some time ago for Canvas Corps and it was never yet posted.
So here they are- my lovely grand kids in those non kiddies colors and they look Fantastic!

Dream girl layout

Usually baby scrapbooking made with baby lines: cute, sweet colors and lovely baby patterns. This page is a fine example of making baby pages with general, vintage, even grungy products. When the photos fit the background paper as it happens with my photos (damask wall in blue and brown colors) you sure can make your baby paper with Canvas Corp Damask cardstock and burlap and to use those vintage colors for my not vintage one year old granddaughter

Canvas Corp DT introduction canvas

A few months ago I was asked to join a very big International team that will work with Canvas Corp products showcasing all of their brands : Canvas Corp, Tattered Angels and 7 Gypsies.
Due to a very large artists group , long shipping time and CHA in between we just were asked to make some small single projects and this 4*4'' canvas was our introduction to the team.
I made it my style: blues and reds, stamping over tissue paper, lots of texture and still pretty much flat one.
A lot of all brands were used over this tiny canvas and the only non CC product were this red ETI casted flower and black ink.
I hope  to make much more CC projects for the rest of the term and to inspire you with my creativity.
