Topflight inspiration with For the love of Stamps

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit  is here today and I am going to share my first August  inspiration for Topflight Stamps shop.
 This week the design team members were asked to make project with stamps from UK For the Love of Stamps company.
This is a company with great scenic stamps and I got this lovely set named Barrow of Blooms.

So here is a card I made with this lovely set.

Here is the stamps set I used:

As you can see this is a shaker card, but the simple circle shaker one that anyone with a set of circled die can make without a problem.

The inside of the circle is stamped and heat embossed. Then I colored it with Zig Real Brushes markers and added distress inked background. 

I used small beads as the shaker filler in the colors that fit the flowers on the stamped image.

The sentiment was made with two sentiment stamps from the same set, heat embossed and die cut and added on the corner.

  

I hope I inspired you a bit with my new shaker card made with the For the Love of Stamps set and you are mostly welcome to see the daily/weekly deals in our gorgeous  Topflight Stamps shop .
And if you like my work you are welcome to my own blog to see more of it.
See you in a week!

Each chipboard piece was painted with black actylic paint and glued over the tag.

The sentiment is from Prickley Pear Rubber stamps.

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my Scrapberry's May challenge take.

This month and in June we challenge you to make Family projects.

It can be totally anything: cards, layouts, altered projects. Make whatever you wish with Scrapberry's products and enter to win our challenge.

As family is Dad and Mom and kids you can make any possible  card for this challenge.

My take was a Father's day card and I made it with Words Live Forever paper collection.

The only non Scrapberry's product are the dies( as we don't produce those yet) and the DAD letters that are very old stckers' sheet.

I used stitched died for the basic card and for circles; added some background die cutting and some border punching.

The sentiment was made with double die cut word, some hand cut piece and those old  fabric stickers.

The card has a lot of other sayings that are great for the Dad in general.

Scrapberry's cards inspiration

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my Scrapberry's April new inspiration.

I am not really a card maker. But when I see gorgeous paper collection I try to make some cards with it and this is what I made with Scrapberry's new The Pirates Treasure 6*6'' paper pad.

Both card are made with the same paper collection, but can you see how different they are?

It means that this collection can be used in a lot of different ways and even colors.

So here is the first card: blue sea and adventures. It's a card that is perfect for boys and young men and maybe any age men too.

The whole card was made with layers of cardstock. Some are die cut (the circles). A lot fo cardstock pieces were hand cut and arranged layers by layers.

Red and blue Stain inks were used over the edges and I just added one single metal charm and a recycled rope to finish this card's design.

Some mist splatters were added over the card as you can see to make it more interesting.

The second card was made in those red and green colors and this is still the very same paper collection.
I made a lot of cardstock layers with the same techniques: some die cut layers and die cut matting.
Over this card I added self made resin piece, one metal charm and some paper flowers. I misted the flowers with a bit of sea shell  mist and a bit of the mist left over the white resin piece too.
Not sure how permanent it is over resin cast, but it looks great.

 I hope that you like my cards and the most adorable The Pirates Treasure paper collection.
See you again  in two weeks with more Scrapberry's inspiration.

Final Makin's clay inspiration

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome  to my very last Makin's Clay® inspirational post.

After two full years on Makin's Clay® team it's just time to move to another adventures and I just made one final altered totally clay project to show you the wonders of delicious Makin's Clay® products.

It's not a real tutorial, but just a kind of " how to make this project" photo steps.

Step 1:

So  as the first step I made those two Makin's Clay® hearts using Die Versions XL Heart die, thin rolled white Makin's Clay® and as you can see the die cutting was just partial.

When working with a very thin and intricate dies, even the thin rolled dry clay can't be full cut. But those partly cut hearts  look fantastic after all and they are the base of this art piece.

2. Use different molds  to  cast all shapes using Makin's Clay® White and Natural clay. Let all shapes dry.

3. Use Pentart Acrylic paints (some are metallic) to paint all dry clay shapes. Don't try to paint them perfectly.
Just add some color over the shapes and let them dry.

4. Arrange the shapes over the  clay hearts and make the collage of vintage shapes, fairies and butterflies. Arrange the whole collaged piece over the frame.
