A Thousand Thanks Card

Hello all! Nicole with CIP here to share a very clean and simple card with you. I am super excited to be sharing projects for the next few months! I am a cardmaking gal so you will see lots of CAS cards using our wonderful Creative Inspirations Paints! 

Today's project features a fall-feeling thank you card. You can never have enough thank-you cards in hand, right? I played with some fall colors from the collection and laid them out on a very simple background to pop those colors out.

As you can see in the picture above, I wanted to leave some textures on those feather die-cut pieces, so I stroke my brush in different directions. I used Antique Copper for the bigger feather and stroke the brush sideways. The smaller one is colored with our lovely Mocha Latte and I painted it in downwards. As a finishing touch, I added couple of Jeweled Inspirations SS30 Clear on the bottom of the card.

These two colors are very soothing and capture the fall-feeling perfectly. This card would be perfect for any men in your life :) Hope you enjoyed today's project! Thank you for stopping by!!

Wishing You A Beautiful Day

Hello friends, Julie here from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers and I'm super excited to be here! I discovered Creative Inspirations Paint last Spring and instantly loved them for their shimmer.  I can't tell you how excited I am to now be on the design team for these wonderful products!  Let the fun begin!!

Even though it's October, I'm still seeing butterflies.  They were the inspiration behind today's project.  I wanted to make something with fall colors, but using butterflies. 

I made a fun card to share today, and used Creative Inspirations Paint on the embellishments:

 

I cut this easel card out on my Silhouette.

Here's a close up of the embellishments:

 

 

The flower looked similar to this one before I painted it:

 

 

I painted the crocheted flower with fuchsia, Turquoise, and Sage Creative Inspirations Paint.  The button was white when I started, but I coated it with Mocha Latte Creative Inspirations Paint. I love how it brought out the texture in the button!

 

 

 

  

I'll leave you with another angle of the easel card, so you can see how the wings of the butterfly appear to be flying.

All Boxed Up.

Hi everyone I am back on this totally hot Thursday in Sunny Florida.  You would think after 20 years I would be used to this weather but nope... Anyhoo today I am sharing a book box well I should say a hidden compartment book box because when you open it up there is a compartment you can use to store items in.

 I applied gesso and painted and sort of smeared the paint with my fingers along different parts of the paper

 I applied the gold paint to the leaves to add some shine and color to them

It is hard to tell but I also painted the mesh ribbon with some paint to make it match the colors I chose to use.  I love how it all turned out and I hope everyone enjoyed my project for today.

Thanks for stopping by and dont forget our challenge!

Double Inspiration...

Hi everyone Monica here.  Hope all you mom's had a fabulous Mother's Day!! Give yourself a big round of applause.  I am sure we all have plenty of pictures to create beautiful memories with.  Today I am sharing a canvas piece.  I made this piece using gesso, drywall tape, CI paints and some other stuff.

 I painted the canvas with a mixture of colors

I also created an additional project:

 This was a chipboard bezel piece I used created with some G45 papers and used Creative Inspirations new to come product.  Can you guess what it is??

Pretty in Fuchsia

Hi CIP followers!  I finally worked on a new page in my art journal.  I've used a Julie Nutting image to stamp up, clear emboss, and color with some pretty CI paints.  The shimmery CI paints that I've used are Fuchsia, Tickled Pink, Mocha Latte, Carmel, and Onyx.  I've also used the clear Deliquesce over black ink.  Each of these items can be found in the Creative Inspirations Paint store.  

Here is a closer look at the CIP products that I've used:
