Rainbow magnet

This is my new stamped magnet, made over the very old  metal circle with one single huge stamp from TRC. Then I heat embossed it with black powder and inked with 3 primary Staze- On inks, added this crystal center from Handmade Halo and it's totally colorful and useful too.

This project was in print August 2013 issue of UK Craft Stamper magazine as a part of my big 4 page article.

CHALKBOARD CARD with Inspired by Stamping

New Chalkboard card made  with Inspired by Stamping lot of stamps and it's good for any occasion with this unique and long title. I stamped some IBS roses around and just added  a lace tape from IBS shop too. I usually don't use color purple a lot, but here it just fits, s a dark background and as a dotted ribbon too.I used white chalk to make it like a real chalkboard , just added it over the stamped words.

And this card was specially made for some web 

Unruly paper arts- Chalk 

 Craft room challenges- Heat embossing

 Just for fun- Anything goes

Paris forever tag

This lovely The Rubber Cafe Paris stamp was always my favorite,so I made this gift tag with this stamp as the main point, misted and inked with a circle mask. Some metal charms from Handmade Halo were added and some Tim Holtz metals too and that was it. Great spring colors and a lot of love- for Paris... The sentiment is Know  in your heart that you are loved (can be for anyone , but for me it's Paris)

 Lot of mediums used here: inks, Faber Castell DMC Gelatos,Ranger Distress Paints and some Tim Hotlz trinkets.

I enter it to some challenges:

Faber Castell DMC Travel

Helmar  tags- I used Helmar 450  Quick Dry glue   here and Helmar Liquid Scrap dots  dots  to add metal trinkets as I wanted them to stay in place.

Life is beautiful with WOW! powders

This altered project was just a wooden base with a hole that I found at home, a 10 cent kids plastic magnifing glass and a fantastic A2Z Scraplets title (it's the little things). From all of those I made  this lovely altered art piece, but it couldn't  be done withou those gorgeous WOW! Embossing Powders I used over it.

The wooden base was covered with Glitz paper layers . The title was inked, clear embossed with Clear Regular powder , layer after layer to make it glossy and glass look and then I made a random stamping over it.

Wow embossing Copper powder was  the main coverage of the plastic glass. Easy to make : just add some Watermark embossing ink randomly over it , spread the powder and heat it. Nothing happens to plastic, believe me.  Then I added some Tim Holtz Picket fence  crackled paint  over my  embossed Copper powder and Blue embossing powder over it while the paint was still  wet.

The 7 Gypsies silver spoon was colored into the copper color with alcohol inks and I added this Tim Holtz sticker to say that small things Create Life.

The background wings were molded and casted with clear Ice Resim and I added Blue glitter inside the resin casting. The white chipboards from Tando Creative were painted and glittered with Clear glitter  to make the front wings, the bird was also painted  white and heat embossed with White embossing powder , then  painted over it with some blue paint, as well as Prima pink floweer brach. I covered the square base with woodgrain washi tape  and  I added this Glitz Life is Beautiful sticker on the front.
As my final touch the brass owl from Handmade Halo was added for the life wisdom and I also connected a 7 Gypsies charm to the spoon. To keep this title in the right position I used 3 kitchen tooth picks and a lot of hot glue.

My beautiful Mom: she still is...

Today is my dear MOM'S Birthday and she is 79, but still a very clever, elegant young lady. So Happy Birthday dear Mom! Here is my web present to you!
This is my new MM page made with my mom old photo.I made a part of it on the workshop, but I can't do it the same way, so I added much more, like a title, more embellishments, more washi tape, metal charm etc. and made it my own after all.

Then I decided that I need a title (there was no one ) and some more things to add, so I added my Handmade Halo  resin frame, bird cage charm,  Beaded trim and a chipboard Beautiful title .

Now, with my title, I like this page more.

Visible Image Friday: Live the life you've Imagined

Hello my dear stamping friends!
Today is Friday and this is my Visible Image  new post.
This time I made a very dark and grungy card  using masking technique and 3 gorgeous Visible Image stamps all together.
The  Life the life sentiment was stamped first, then I made a mask of this stamp and stamped the clock from Time after time set (without the upper  part of it). then I made a clock mask and stamped the Brick wall over and all of them were heat embossed to get this bright look.
I misted the piece and made this card with some A2S Scraplets pieces. See how easy you can make your own " collaged stamps". Just try it! It's a lot of fun and the result can be unique.

Happy Day wall deco with a lot of WOW!

Again in my spring mood: Happy Day wall deco made with Tando Creative chipboards and a lot of WOW! Embossing powders.
The frame is totally recycled one: not sure from what garbage can it was picked.

It was white and dirty; so I cleaned it a bit and then heat embossed in 3 layers.
The basic one was Metallic Green and it was too " green".
Then I used CWS Wood grain stencil ' clear embossing ink over it and Nutmeg powder. It was good, but still too " shiny". So I covered it all over with another layer of  clear embossing powder and added Evergreen powder all over. Bingo! I still see the wood grain  texture, but I like the color much more.
The inner piece was made with Tando Creative chipboards.

I stamped some white heat embossed leaves and " flowers" (not sure about the stamp name, just an old and small one I had on the table).
All flowers  were heavy coated with clear embossing ink and  I just played with a lot of WOW! powders.
I used 2 pinks, 2 yellows and white and made quite a mix of them,  covering the stems with Olive green.
The chipboard title was heat embossed with one single layer of Pastel pink.
 All my inner piece was glued over a piece of lovely Scrap Cake paper and my altered project was done.
Hope you like it!

Visble Image Friday: Capture the Moment

Hello my dear Visible Image friends! This is Friday and my Visible Image new post for you!
This time I made a scrapbooking page just to show that Visible Image stamps can be used not just for cards.
I used a lot of background stamps over this page:  Grunge Check Background ,  Retro Dots  Background and Large Winter tree stamp.
The Dragonfliess  were stamped twice and layered  for this 3d effect. I also added some Large  tall grass stamp, but after all paints and gesso it's hardly seen on the background.

Simple, also not so clean bookmark

This Sweet Stamps stamp was just perfect  to make a fancy, but very simple heat embossed bookmark. I stamped the image, heat embossed it. added some  script around with heat embossing (it's bookmark after all) and then misted it a lot to get this lovely color. Then I added the kraft background, rounded it on the top and stitched a button.
That's it. Very simple, not so clean after all.

Visible Image Friday: Just Be you

Hello, my dear  crafty friends!
It's VISIBLE IMAGE Friday and this is my new card made for this post with one of my most favorite Visible Image stamps:  Classic Face
I made it with Ombre  colors of 50 Shadows of Grey (no, I didn't like the book, but loved the title). The border was made with 4 different border punches, the title was just foam letters, but the stamp is the main point of this card. And even if you look at the mirror- you always should Be You. There are no duplicates!

Clean and simple Love

The DT girls on Inspired by Stamping were asked to make a card for Addicted to stamping challenge and this time I made this very simple and even clean card, using just one stamped circled label and a sentiment from IBS. I also added one die cut Fancy Label from IBS, dry embossed  over the Kraft cardstock and used Glitz papers  and a very old resist heart embossed with the same Red Apple Wow!Embossing Powder as the stamped image.
And as I am in my " use your own stash" year, the old plastic pink pin was added and one Halo resin flower too.(This one is not old, but I have it for 6 month or so)

Life treasures with my Dad

This is  another new lo in memory of  beloved Dad. He was a well known composer and this photo strip is all about him: his smile, his work. I made it in monochromatic brown- grey tons  with just a bit of color (MME papers) and with gorgeous A2Z Scraplets chipboards covered with WOW!Embossing powders black powder and some back ground stamping too.

My perfect journey lo

This is another " All about me page" made in Mixed Media style.

Valentine key chain: Mixed Media art 100 Proof Press

Hello, my dear crafty friends! Happy Valentine day to you!

 This time I used  100 Proof Press  Sweet  Valentine  Hearts  stamp  and in those red and white Valentine colors. This piece is a totally wearable piece of  art  with stamping, heat embossing, using chipboard and some metals.

First I used Tando Creative chipboard jewelry piece, covered it with clear embossing ink and embossed with Silver embossing powder. Then I stamped a woman face  using Small Face Block (this stamp has 4 small faces and I just used one), punched it with Epiphany Crafts round 25 tool , added the right  epoxy and framed into EC metal charm. As it was a bit naked I added some Robin's Nest small dew drops over using Glossy Accents. The central piece was stamped with Valentine stamp (also just part of it seen because it's  much bigger), covered with clear embossing powder and heat embossed it. The women's " body" is a gorgeous piece from Handmade Halo shop, all others Advantus findings or even some real vintage ones.

And now for some thanks  to my recent and previous design teams for almost all products:
Tando Creative for chipboards
100 Proof Press for stamps
Wow! Embossing Powders  UK for powders
Handmade Halo Shop  for crystal piece
and my previous Epyphany Crafts for tools, epoxies and charms I still have and use and Robin's Nest for Dew Drops.
I am so glad I picked the right teams to try and they picked me. Mutual love!

Back to my handmade Calendar: January and February pages

About a month ago I  got this lovely blank calendar from 100 Proof Press shop and made the cover. I decided to make the monthly page each month and to show it in my blog, but January was a very busy blog month with a few guest design teams etc, so I will show you both January and February pages at once and then continue with monthly  posts.
So here is the cover again-  with full Calendar  Blocks stamp.

I decided to make my monthly pages in the very  similar layout: a tag, a month stamped and cut from the 12 month calendar stamp, an open book stamp and small stickers month name over it. The colors are a fit to the month, some washi tape keeps the tag  and some small embellishments.
So he is my January: winter blues and greys, some shiny color splashes, a metal charm painted with enamel paint over it. It screams Winter and January. (Authentique papers as my double background)

And now for February- also it's still winter, I made it in a very vintage Valentine style , with Pion Designs  papers, pink letters, some mute Petaloo flowers and a gorgeous Handmade Halo glass pebble.
Again- month February stamped and cut and the open book to make the word with stickers. And yes, it's a bit bulky and after 3-4 4 month I need to take some embellishments off if I want to leave it on the wall. So what? I love it this way for a whole month!

Hope you like it too.
Want to make a similar project? 100 Proof Press blank calendar is in the shop and 2 stamps you need to make this project are there too: Calendar and Open Book. Everything else is " whatever you have at home and don't use...". So go and use it!
