Glossy or shiny with Tando: Early Christmas tag

Hello my dear friends and welcome to my new Tando inspiration.

This is a glossy or shiny week on Tando and this Christmas decoration is really glossy (as the paper is glossy) and shiny (as I added a lot of sparkle paint and micro beads to my Tando chipboard pieces).

This is easy to make art piece and I used Paper House tags that were layered with Tando frame, another cardstock frame and embellished with Tando Christmas tree.

Even with all those layers this is a flat art piece and can be sent in the envelope. 

 The micro beads were added directly over the DecoArt silver and purple paints and you don't need any glue when it's dry.

 Tando products used:
Frame- Large rectangle


Fir trees standing

 DecoArt products

Halloween with Topflight stamps

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new Mixed Media/Altered project made for Topflight Stamps shop.

This is a Halloween weeks on Topflight blog and each day one of our designers is inspiring you with an early Halloween project.

As you know I am a big fan of anything altered and Mixed Media, so this is  my Mixed Media Halloween inspiration today: and altered chipboard printers tray  filled with all thing spooktacular stamped bottles and signs.

I used the most spooktacular stamps set from Crafty Individuals UK: Poison and Danger

So here are some close- ups to the stamped spots inside the tray.
Some images were stamped with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with black fine embossing powder and some smaller images were stamped with black permanent ink. Both ways were  perfect to color with water colors as I did.

 For the more interest I added a couple of 3d stickers as a title and to add some dimension .
I hope that you like my post today and inspired with the stamp and die I used.
And if you want to see some more of my work you are welcome to my own  blog.
See you next Friday with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.

Holidays projects with Two Paper Divas

  Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my first December post made for Two Paper Divas.
This time I am gong to share two projects that were already print published in Just Chrismas cards and Decorations magazine and I never shared them on- line.
So the first one  are those metal fancy bookmarks and I even have a tutorial for you to share.

 Product list: Cardstock- Canvas Corp, Metal foil- Spellbinders, Stamps- Two Paper Divas Embossing folders- Sizzix, Alcohol inks, ink- Ranger, Adhesive- Beacon Adhesives  Zip Dry 

Scrapbook glue, Ribbons- May Arts, Embossing Powders- WOW! Embossing Powders

Step by step: 1.Dry emboss two book mark shaped pieces of silver thick foil with Sizzix folders. 2. Paint over the embossed foil with a mix of three alcohol inks and add some alcohol blending solution for the fancy look. 3. Add matting using Canvas Corp cardstocks and glue the embossed foiled pieces over the cardstock with Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry glue. 4. Stamp the words with Two Paper Divas Holiday Bingo words 2 stamps on one bookmark, using black pigmented ink. Heat emboss it with clear embossing powder. 5. Make holes and add ribbons over each bookmark.

The second one is an altered  cross stitching hoop and as you can see I used the very same stamp set from TPD here too.
It's the most perfect sentiment set named Holiday Bingo Words 2  for all Winter projects and I just love to use it again and again.
 I used Canvas Corp background papers and Paper House stickers together with Two Paper Divas stamped sentiment.

Christmas cards with Makin's Clay

Hello my dear friends! Today I am going to share a couple of Christmas  cards I made with  embellishments from Makin's Clay.

This is a first card and as you can see this sweet big Angel on the card is made with Makin's Clay White clay in a mold and them covered with clear glitter.

You can make a lot of casting in molds with Makin's air day clay and to use on your Christmas cards and other projects.

The second card is in the very similar colors, but here I made a few Makin's Clay embellishments using Makin's Clay Christmas Nature push molds and Red Makin's Clay.
 All clay pieces were covered with glaze for the shine effect and I added some black acrylic paint over the poinsettia flowers centre.

Holiday gift box with TPD

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new Two Paper Divas November inspiration.
As I always try to make different crafty things this is a clear box that was altered to be Christmas gift box with gorgeous Two Paper Divas stamps and some papers and sentiments  from Paper House.
I used Two Paper Divas stamp set and used a very rich pigmented ink to stamp all parts and then heat embossed them  several times with clear embossing powder.
It made the parts to stand and easy to glue to the clear box.

See you next week with another Christmas TPD inspiration!

Tando Halloween projects

 Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my Inspired by Stamping new post.
Halloween is just around the corner.So as my Home deco project for Inspired by Stamping I decided to make this spooky project and to leave you some time to buy those gorgeous Inspired by Stamping Halloween stamps.So just jump to the shop and buy this spooky amazing Halloween Labels set and Halloween Tags set! Not much left as those sets are ON SALE!

 So this chipboard house I made is  fully covered with stamped background images from
IBS set and the skeleton  from the Spooky Halloween set on the top is stamped and hand cut .

 There are 4 stickers over the top that are not IBS stamps as I just wanted  to add something that is
 not " hand made".
The whole piece is inked with a mix of distress inks and misted with red mist (kind of a " blood" drops)

And with the same stamps I also added another deco project: kind of a wall art made as an art page.
This piece is layered with stencilled texture using Tando Creative stencils and DecoArt paints.
The background is all stamped with Inspired by Stamping stamps from different sets  linked in a previous piece of art and then I added this  chipboard skeleton (Tando again).
 My tip to those who make such a project: stamp  with pigmented  ink and heat emboss the images with clear powder. It looks a bit mute without the heat embossing.

Products used:

Stencils, chipboards- Tando Creative UK

Paints, mists, crackle medium, texture paste-DecoArt

Inks- Clearsnap

Embossing powders- WOW! Embossing Powders

 Stickers- Paper House Productions

Holiday tag with Two Paper Divas

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my last October post made for Two Paper Divas.
This lovely pretty small Christmas tag was made for a print submission and already was in print in Just Christmas cards and decorations! issue.
So now it's a right time to showcase it on- line.
The main stamped image is TPD fantastic You are the light stamp that was stamped with white pigmented ink and heat embossed with  white powder over a chalkboard style small tag.
Then the small tag was added over the bigger tag made with Canvas Corps cardstock and embellish with Paper House puffy stickers. The gold star is 3d  chipboard piece from Tando that was painted with DecoArt gold paint and  glued on the top.
I also painted inside the stamped image with the very same gold paint.
