Sketched Mini Book

Welcome, today I have a mini accordion, decorated using my A6 Stamp Sketched Happiness #177 from AALLandCreate. All products are available from our Stockists, which you can find HERE.

I love creating miniature projects and today I have a little accordion book. I began by die cutting my book using Eileen Hull's Needle Book Die from mountboard and I then brayered Dina Wakley Paints onto the background, using Tangerine, Lime, Turquoise and Magenta, applying the layers very lightly to my substrate.

Both the front and back covers were stamped with my quirky flowers from my Sketched Happiness stamp set.

I incorporated an accordion into my book, again adding layers of paint with my brayer. I added stamping using VersaFine Clair Ink and then added touches of colour with Gel Pens.

Torn vintage book pages add a touch more interest along with delicate splatters of white paint.

I also die cut a circle from scrap card and then used the aperture as a stencil, applying Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink over the aperture, giving a further layer of interest.

I love the sentiments on this set and stamped them throughout my accordion.

Botanical Journal

Welcome, today I have a small journal, decorated using my A4 Stamp Numbered Botanical #110 from AALLandCreate.

I love creating these small books and this time around I opted for my Botanical stamp set, stamping the fern with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.

I die cut a circle from scrap card and then blended Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink lightly over the circular aperture to give spotlights to my front and back covers.

I had fun stamping the fern onto shrink plastic and adding the smaller fern as an embellishment to my design. I also stamped the Fern wording and numbers onto shrink for further interest.

I also incorporated some vintage wooden numbers to coordinate with the numbers in my stamp design.

 I love the numbers stamped on my spine, adding a touch more detail to my book.

This stamp has so many wonderful small details and so many possibilities. This picture shows some of that fine detail.

I also incorporated some wooden slices stamped with some of the number detail in the stamp.

Create Your Dreams

I had fun with this project, combining my A4 Eclectic Silhouette #113 with Eileen Hull's Sizzix Passport Book. All the new products are available from our stockists HERE, simply scroll down.

I opted to stamp part of my design onto parchment paper, I love the feel and look of parchment and was delighted with the detail on my stamp once stamped onto the parchment. I then added the parchment piece to the cover of my Passport Book, which I machine stitched into place.

I added the bird detail in my stamp to the back of my Passport Book and I have to say I am absolutely delighted with the way this turned out.

I love the touches of detail in my silhouette and I stamped the silhouette onto a brayered background of Turquoise and Lime Acrylic Paint, stapling the silhouette onto my backdrop. I also included a large Art Stone to highlight one of the numbers.

I added metal wire to the top of my silhouette, adding touches of paint to the wire with my finger. I also opted to showcase one of the sentiments in the same colours.

I used the same techniques on the back of my book, I adore this sentiment. I also included delictae splatters of paint to echo the pops of colour in  my design.

The detail in this stamp is amazing and I am so thrilled how it turned out. A metal Index Clip adds further dimension and texture to the back of my book.

I added one of my sentiments to the spine of my book.

There are so many ways you can use this stamp, the possibilities are endless and I can't wait to explore more designs with this one.

Field Notes Journal

Today I would like to share a journal I created using Eileen Hull's Journal Die combined with my Numbered Botanical A4 Stamp #110 from AALLandCreate. You can find a list of our stockists HERE.

I adored making this journal and I was delighted with how the detail combined so well for this piece. For this piece I decided to stamp my image onto thick white card first and then die cut the journal die pieces from mountboard and I then attached the pieces I wanted to the die cut mountboard pieces.

I added a mica tile to my cover and then stamped the fern once again onto white card and distressed a little with some Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink and I then added a couple of layers of Seth Apter's Baked Texture Vintage Beeswax and that really added some wonderful texture to my cut out piece.

I stamped one of my numbers from this stamp set onto one of Tim Holtz wooden pieces and once again coated with a layer of Vintage Beeswax to age a little further.

I added a rusty nail and some splatters of black paint to add a further layer of interest. I also added some machine stitching to the binding and added a few Art Stones for added dimension. I was delighted with how this piece turned out.

 This picture shows the detail on the back of the journal and the added stitching to the spine.

The Earth Laughs In Flowers

Welcome, today I am showcasing my Border Stamp ##119 Print By Numbers from AALLandCreate. All the new products are available from our Stockists HERE, simply scroll down.

I combined my stamp with Eileen Hull's Passport Book Die along with Seth Apter's Baked Texture Patina Oxide.

I adore the detail in this stamp and when stamped into the powders it looks fantastic. I highlighted the texture further with touches of wax.

I built up several layers of the Baked Texture Patina Oxide and then stamped into the melted powder whilst it was hot, applying VersaMark to my stamp to prevent the melted powder sticking to my stamp.

I added a further spotlight using a second piece of mountboard and again stamping the flower into the melted powder and then placing the second piece over my first image to give dimension.

Rusty wire adds a further element of texture along with some jump rings.

I added melted powder to the back of my book along with some gold trim to the binding.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x

Don't Forget To Fly

Welcome today I have a little book for you decorated using my Butterfly stamp from AALLandCreate. You can find the stamp HERE.

I recently had a play day at my lovely friend Anne Redfern's house along with Rita and Annie and it was an absolutely fantastic day to just spend time with like-minded creatives. I started the covers of this book at Anne's house and then continued with the process once I arrived home. Eileen Hull's Passport Book is one of my favourite dies and has so many possibilites when combined with different mediums.

I painted my covers and also incorporated lots of texture to create a wonderfully tactile piece.

I also incorporated added texture, applying Texture Paste over Autour de Mwa's stencil #28 Broken Circle which you can find HERE.

I stamped my butterfly image onto music paper and then applied Seth Apter's Baked Texture Vintage Beeswax over the wings, adding several layers for added texture. I also applied some delicate touches of gold with Pebeo Wax.

I also incorporated an ATC Coin to give further dimension along with some rusty tin wire and some jump rings added randomly to the background. The focal piece is backed onto a piece of torn music paper.

The products used in ths piece are shown below:

Field Notes

Welcome to my weekly post for AALLandCreate and today is a very special post as today I can showcase one of my designs using one of my new releases. You can find a list of our stockists HERE.

I have decorated a passport book using my new A4 stamp Numbered Botanical which I have to say I am absolutely delighted with. The detail is truly amazing and so many possibilites. This time around I combined my stamps with Eileen Hull's Passport Die.

I have added the stamped design to both front and back cover and the spine.

Touches of Lime paint to add just a hint of colour and I also incorporated vintage watch parts.

The watch rim highlights the detail on the fern a little further and I also incorporated some Remnant Rubs to the top of the watch glass piece.

I adore the background on this stamp and I can see me using it many times. A few delicate splatters of paint are added for further interest along with a vintage nail.

There are so many layers on this stamp and so many possibilities.

I hope you enjoy my first showcase of one of my new releases. I also incorporated my Date It Stamp to add a touch more detail to the cover.

The stamps used in my project today are shown below:
