Hello Everyone!!!  Today I want to share some super fun inspiration with you.  The 1st piece is a tag I created for this weeks Stampo...

I have one Challenge, two tips, and three tags to share today. There is a new challenge up at TOP TIP TUESDAY and this time we want to see ANYTHING BUT A CARD.  So this is pretty open to almost anything:0) This challenge is being sponsored by: and Tip #1: Use pre-colored images to create a quick project. I have created all three tags in the time it would have taken me to color one image. These pre-colored images (plus over 20 other) are from Kenny K Downloads can be found HERE...I really like these images and it was great having them all done in no time at all! SO fun!  Here is a closer look at each tag...First up: Scarlett West pre-colored digi stamp  Tip #2: I do not have a hammer in my crafting space so used my Cuttlebug to flatten the prongs on the West Cal jean garment (Left hand corner of tag above). Just fold the prongs in slightly and then flatten by running through the machine. This was efficient and quiet:0) Next: Jayne Jettpack pre-colored digi stamp; my 4 year old son kept asking what Jayne was doing and why was she like that....What to tell a 4 year old boy??? LOL! Last, but not least: Brianna Blaster pre-colored digi stamp If you would like to try these pre-colored images or any other KK images you can have a go at my Kenny K Blogoversary Candy:0) For more details click on the link or this picture! I would like to enter my tags into the following challenges: Love to Create - Anything Goes Victorine Originals - Anything goes Creative Inspirations Paint - Tags One Stitch At A Time - SIO - Anything Goes 2 Sisters - #88 Use a digital image Craft Your Days Away - #42 Metal Thanks for stopping by today; hope you have a fantastic week!

Welcome to a new CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!  This time around we're playing with Mint and Neutral inspiration!  Create your project using this color scheme and link up for your chance to win some free stuff!  Here's how I was inspired: Have you seen this month's New Release??? Some pretty awesome stuff!  I was inspired by the new Be A Unicorn Stamp Set and Fri-Dies to create a small canvas... I thought this might be the perfect gift for one of my nieces. Whenever canvases of various sizes are on sale, I pick them up to have them on hand so I pulled this one out when I decided what I wanted to do.  This one is about 5x7". I had these colors out to work on another canvas and they were perfect for this challenge, so it was fun to have two projects going at the same time... while one was drying I could work on the other.  I painted the canvas by almost dry brushing the mint/metallic blue/green paints until the canvas was covered.  Then I added some gold and finally I used a star stencil and some gold embossing paste to add a little bit of texture. ***Added***: For Janice Wolf and anyone else who wants to know, the paints I used are Acrylic Paints, Americana Bahama Blue, FolkArt Metallic 653 Emerald Green, and Folk Art 4033 Gold Enamel-for some reason I'm unable to reply to my comments. While waiting for things to dry, I painted a chipboard star from my stash using the gold paint.  Then I stamped that gorgeous unicorn in Versamark Ink onto Copic friendly paper and embossed it in white.  I cut it out using the coordinating Fri-Die and colored him in with some BG000 and BG11.  Since my lines were white, it was important to shade in all the right places... I think I did ok!  Then I used a gold Wink of Stella fine tipped marker to color in his main, ears, hooves, and wonderful magical horn.  I used some black Nuvo drops for his eye and colored in his nostrils with some silver Wink of Stella.  Then I set him aside to dry. My biggest struggle was the best way to add the sentiment and keep it magical!  Then I remembered this acetate that is specifically made to be able to be heated.  I got mine from The Cutting Cafe.  I used one of my favorite go to dies, the Bubble Box Fri-Dies, to cute out the acetate piece and heat embossed that awesome sentiment from the Be A Unicorn stamp set onto it.  This acetate works well if you don't heat it too closely or too hot... just enough to get the embossing powder to melt... it will warp and/or melt if you heat it too much.  Also, I used my antistatic pad before I embossed because the powder will definitely stick all over.  I knew I wouldn't mind a little stray powder so I brushed some off but didn't worry too much about what was left.  Then I swiped some Versamark on the edges of the sentiment piece and sprinkled some Shabby White Embossing Powder and heated that (another fave in my craft room!) To finish it off I added some more faves in my stash... some pretty paper and velvet flowers, gold gems, gold star sequins. Just love all of the shimmer! One more peek! So... now I just have to have someone pry it out of my hands so I can mail it...lol! I'm linking this up to the Twisted Thursday Challenge over at the Outlawz which has an "Anything Goes" twist  (My favorite!!) and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge which is also Anything Goes this week! That's it for me today!  Hope you  enjoyed your visit!

I can't wait to see what you create!  And don't forget to check out the inspiration from the team!  Some pretty awesome stuff going on there!

Hello Inky Friends, this week I am doubling up being "inspired by" Tracy Evans & using Eileen Hull's newest diecut the Pocket Notebook. Happy Mix Media Monday!! I love, love Tracy Evans stamps by AALL & Create & conveniently they are available through Topflight Stamps. I also love Tracy's style & have had the pleasure of seeing a lot of her projects live & in color when we were team mates on Eileen Hull's Inspiration Team.  I made this book using a few of Tracy's projects as my inspiration, with a few spins of my own. I could literally spend days making these inspired books!!!  It was hard to choose just a few projects to base mine on. Here are the links to the ones that inspired me directly. This Lucky Tag was one.  I like sewing on my projects & so does Tracy, she also uses a very soft minimal palette on this project which will be a challenge for me!!!  This Flower Stems card is what inspired the colors I chose. Really love that vellum too! Plus the stamps... love them!   This Raven Passport Book inspired my use of an embossing folder as the background, I also really love the placement of her ephemera on the front. Although I didn't end up going this route, hummmm maybe inspiration for the inside? Please take the time to go check out this super talented, lovely lady on her Craft Addicts blog. A lot of Tracy's stamps are available on the Topflight Stamps website. Let's get started!! I began using mat board die cut with the Pocket Notebook die. This book size is fabulous with a spine that can be adjusted to almost any size up to 2" & if you wanted a bigger spine just cut 2 spines & attach them! Step 1 was to add the embossing, but the covers are bigger than the standard Sizzix embossing folder. To solve this problem simply emboss out of paper, tear & attach. I picked a few of my favorites so I was able to add multiple designs to my covers. This was glued down with 3D Gel to help the embossed areas remain strong. Any open areas were simply filled in with crackle paste & set to dry.  Next up color- I used a combo-ish that Tracy has been using lately. Fresco Finish paint in Mermaid, Amethyst, & Blueberry watered down & applied sparingly then wiping back with a baby wipe. Next up time for some stamping, with Black Archival ink in random places using Tracy's stamp- #79- Bloom & Grow. I LOVE THIS STAMP!!! The arrows & heart are from another other set called Hearts. For my focal image a bouquet of hearts seemed a good idea. I stamped in archival ink just in case I wanted to add some ink, then sewed some sketchy lines leaving the threads long & messy.  I made a few extra to keep in my stash.  Last few steps were to arrange the hearts,& add some metal. Here you can see part of the back with all that luscious texture. Join me back here next month where I will continue working on my book by adding the elastic & the start of the insides! Thanks so much for joining me, hope you have the chance to get inky today!
