I love large background stamps! Especially the ones using beautiful, romantic scripts. There is nothing easier to create your own custom backgrounds with these stamps, some embossing powder and pigment ink.
January – out with the old, in with the new…time for a fresh start and along with that fresh start is a time to get organized. But organizing doesn’t have to be boring, spice up your organizational containers with a bit of help from Creative Medium!
I love the scent of gingerbread baking on a cold, frosty day, so I wanted to evoke that feeling in an art piece. I also think that red and green are kind of overdone during the holidays so in keeping with the gingerbread idea, I decided to stick with that color scheme too.
The problem with moving to a new home, one of the problems I should say, is finding new locations to put things. I like to know where my keys are so I don’t waste time looking for them when it is time to go! I decided this small canvas would be just the thing, not only is it pretty but so useful!
Doing a little makeover in the family room and after losing my DVD storage, I decided to use crates. Using StazOn inks and disposable sponge daubers gave me just the pop of color I needed with all the wood furnishings.
Autumn is my favorite time of year but it seems to fly by so quickly. I am always trying to stretch the season out as long as possible and one of the ways I do so is with home decor projects. These fun faux pumpkins look amazing with StazOn Metallic inks paired with a bit of Tuxedo Black Pico Embellisher.
Isn't it funny all of the little bits and pieces you collect on a road trip...everything from bottle caps, sea shells collected on the beach, sand saved in tiny bottles to the tacky tourist offerings like plastic hula dolls, pink rubber flamingos and the ever popular key chains. Well this kitschy shadow box is just the ticket to save all those funky bits in one place.
Cathy Andronicou shows how to create this fabulous photo frame that's accented with IMAGINE Crafts' Iridescent Creative Medium. Because the frame has a base coat of chalkboard paint, the sentiment can be changed when you switch out the photo – genius!
A few days after we were asked to do an upcycling project I got hold of an old and ugly plastic picture frame. This technique using Creative Medium and Embossing Powder is very easy to do and gives a true metallic retro effect.
This little table was my mothers, so of course it means the world to me. However, it was beyond ugly (sorry mom). It needed a little something, something. I am beyond thrilled with how it turned out using a few inks, stencil and a Sponge Dauber.
