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.
Amplify! is such a versatile product. It is fun to heat it and watch it puff up but more importantly it can be used to give dimension and texture to whatever you're crafting.
I love to upcycle items that may have outlived their usefulness in their original form into pieces of art. I thought this old rusty muffin tin would be a perfect candidate.
Fall is my favorite time of the year and I love making home decor items to display around the house. It seems like I have tissues in every room for the little noses that come to visit Nana. Though manufacturers are making the tissue boxes prettier these days, they still need my artistic touch.
Pocket Letters are a fun new way to send greetings to friends wide and far. Baseball card album sleeves filled with art one one side and goodies on the other. With Autumn here, it's the perfect time to create a mixed media Pocket Letter for your friends.
Is there a fabulous lady in your life who qualifies as a Diva? I have one in mind for this gift journal as her long-awaited graduation gift is a trip to Paris where I’m sure she’ll be writing notes, saving ephemera and doing a little sketching in famous museums. If you have an artistic Diva in your circle of friends this is a one of a kind handmade gift she can treasure.
When we were asked to create a project with movement I knew immediately what I wanted to do…a telescoping card! This project incorporates so many things I love…metallics in the form of Metallic Creative Medium, Steampunk designs, rubber stamping and sheets of mica – Mother Natures own form of glitter. Let’s get “moving” and make this telescoping card come to life.
Create your very own Autumn inspired card background, with this simple and stunning technique.
Dabbling in my art journal again but this time with a simple and elegant not-so-Halloweeny page. We are not big into Halloween here but since I had this cute little spider (not that they are ever cute) I thought I would play around with a classy scary page.
For those of us in the U.S. the Labor Day weekend is a marker as the end of summer. If you are fortunate enough to be invited to a party of some sort you'll probably want to bring a small hostess gift. This little bag fits the bill!
