My mom loves birds and so for this Mother's day I wanted to make a card that incorporates a little birdie. Thankfully I have some really cute stamps and with the help of the amazing StazOn Studio Glaze I could add some really amazing color to my image. For my sentiment I used two stamps and stamped them in different colors for a fun look.
Faux Gelli Plate Prints are a great way to create unique and fun cards and gift bags to have on hand for any occasion. The Craft Mat and Memento Luxe inkers make creating faux Gelli prints so quick and easy you'll have a stack of beautiful prints in no time at all.
Do you want to sample the technique done with a Gelli Plate but don't have the room or the budget for one more piece of equipment? Why not try this "faux" Gelli Plate technique done with your Imagine Crafts Craft Mat? Simple, fun and amazing results are in store for you.
Some days you just have to create your own sunshine. This sentiment is true not only for the turbulent weather of Spring time but also in creating art. One of the ways I like to create my own artsy sunshine is monoprinting. A fun and easy technique that yields a sky full of sunshine every time.
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.
It is never to early to start training children to respect our home, Mother Earth, by recycling whenever we can. What might seem to be trash, like this old shoebox, can be turned into a lovely treasure box easily using scraps from other projects.
After a long, cold winter here in New England the thought of Spring flowers is a little ray of hope and sunshine in all of our lives! This card shows how brilliant yet simple a Spring card can be created using a stencil and Creative Medium Metallics.
In Germany we say "April, April, der macht was er will“ which means the weather in April is capricious. It could be rainy or sunny- almost like summer time here. “April showers bring May flowers” is the American adage. And this card suits to both countries! This card is very simple to make and has a surprising illusion effect.
