Scrap-Creations: Anything goes!

Over at Scrap Creations they are running an anything goes challenge (yes, this means that you can enter any type of card for a chance to win a $3o gift voucher to Stampotique!).

I have chosen to do a bright tri shutter card (using this tutorial from Splitcoast stampers) made from kraft cardstock and papers from October Afternoon's Modern Homemaker (and the yellow from the thrift shop collection). I love october afternoon papers and I think they look great with kraft!


These cards are fun to make because you get so much enjoyment out of opening and closing it every step of the way :P




I used these embellishments:

• flowers
• felt flowers
• buttons
• twine
• chipboard
• stamps (happy birthday from the "all occasions" stamp set by darkroom door and flourish stamps from basic grey and paperartsy)
  

As you can see this is a fun and bright card, but it is way not as hard as it looks!

Ciao!

Inkurable Stampers- Bookmarks

Hey Everyone!

I was very happy with the theme for this month at Inkurable Stampers! You can make any type of bookmark you want so long as you use one stamp!



I made a set of two "puzzle piece" bookmarks for my dad for this challenge. Other then a load of measuring, I stamped ,punched and stitched to make the bookmarks.I used papers from the wanted collection by Cosmo Cricket along with matching cardstock. The stamps were from a few different stamp sets, but the hand is by Cherry pie art stamps and the words are mostly from tim holtz and kaisercraft sets.


These bookmarks are to replace ones made by my brother and I when we were toddlers :)

Masquerade mask- Finally done!

Yay!

You may remember about a month ago I mentioned making a mask? Well here it is!

I used:

• papier mache
• sandpaper
  
• black paint
• modge podge
• tombo glue
• glitter
• silver cording
• 3 ostrich feathers
• 3 small white feathers
• a gold button ;) (alcohol inked silver)
• rhinestones
• dimensional magic
• hot glue gun
  

It was really fun and I am really happy with the results!

To make it, I started by making a base of papier mache. This was done by doing several layers on a volunteers face :) taking it off to dry, then cutting it to the correct shape and doing more layers. After it was dry, I sanded it so it was nice and smooth. Then it was painted black and modge-podged to make it shiny.
Add some decoration, and taa-daaa!

Do you like it?

CPS Card Sketches- # 203

Guess what I have to share?

A yellow valentines card! Yes, yellow! Yellow was all that could take up my head when I was thinking of a card to make for this sketch challenge by CPS Card Sketches:


Using this lovely paper from October Afternoon Thrift Shop- Still in a box,
I created this card:



I used the heart from the stampotique welcome door woodblock stamp to make the rim of hearts around the center of the flower and above the black lace. The yellow flowers are a Tim holtz die.

That's all for now!
