"Live Your Dreams" Card ~ February Craft Hoarders Anonymous Bog Hop

Welcome to the February Craft Hoarders Anonymous Blog Hop!

I hope you've been enjoying inspiration from the talented designers along your way through the hop! There are so many amazing paper crafting ideas.

You should be coming to my blog from Jacquie Southas. Then after visiting me, hop over to Donna Idlet! To start at the beginning of the hop, please head over to Gloria's Blog!

Our daughter, Grace, had a birthday this month. She collects fountain pens and loves purple! When I received this paper in one of my Scraps of Elegance kits a few months back, I knew it would be perfect to create a card for her. I always have such gorgeous goodies left from my SOE kits, so my goal this month was to use up some of those wonderful items.

"Live Your Dreams"

Tips and Techniques

The title chipboard piece was beige until I dabbed it with mist.

Eons ago I had alcohol inked one of the Tim Holtz Pen Nibs, but it didn't end up working for the project at hand. I hoard a stash of elements I create/color/alter that don't make it onto my projects, then have items ready to go when the "right" project comes along.

I cut a few paper strips to place behind the cluster, then spritzed across the card with purple mist.

A couple of the flowers are dry brushed with the same mist.

Once the mist was dry I splattered with black and whited drawing inks.

As you can see from this angle, there's lots if dimension.

I adore coloring resin pieces to coordinate with my cards. Here's a little hint. I find that a light coat of white gesso creates a great base for the color. The color seems to absorb into the resin if not gessoed.

One final look.

I hope you've been inspired to use up some of those left over products

from recent projects before they become ancient hoarded stash!

Floral Birthday Card ~ January Craft Hoarders Anonymous Blog Hop

Welcome to the January Craft Hoarders Anonymous Blog Hop!

I hope you've been enjoying inspiration from the talented designers along your way through the hop! There are so many amazing paper crafting ideas.

You should be coming to my blog from Amber Milone. Then after visiting me, hop over to Donna Idlet! To start at the beginning of the hop, please head over to Gloria's Blog!

This month, I decided to go deep into my paper stash and pull out this older "Restoration" Collection by Crate Paper. I have paper, stickers, chipboard, and die cuts from this lovely collection. It's something I picked up several years ago and haven't used much. I guess it really isn't in my go to color palette, but I decided to go out of my comfort zone with this birthday card for our sweet daughter-in-law with splashes of bold orange and pink. I'm so glad I did. What do you think? Of course you know me, I had to add grungy textures on the leafy flourish and butterfly.

"Happy Birthday"

Tips and Techniques

I die cut these sweet leaves and edged the leaves, paper layers, and flowers with ink.

Another view of the flowers.

I had some ink left on my applicator and used it to color this Prima resin butterfly, then rubbed with BoBunny Chocolate Pearlescents.

I adore grungy textures. I painted this leafy flourish with gesso and used my heat tool to dry and bubble the gesso. I painted it with Sweet Alfalfa Twinkling H20's, then rubbed lightly with brown ink to highlight the textures.

I stamped and die cut the sentiment and layered it over coordinating diecuts and chipboard pieces which were inked on the edges. I tied jute twine onto each side of the diecut as well.

I hope you've been inspired to grab something really old from your stash and breath new life into it. A handcrafted card for that special person in your life is sure to be appreciated.

Christmas Ornament Tags with Technique VIDEO TUTORIAL - Scraps of Elegance December Kit

Several years ago I started creating handcrafted ornaments to give to our children for Christmas. It has become a family tradition. When I saw these lovely chipboard ornaments by Blue Fern Studios in the Scraps of Elegance Store, I couldn't resist. The ornaments are attached to the ribbon bow with wire, so they can be removed to hang on the tree, or the tag could be used as is for a home decor piece.

I've done something a little different for my video this time. I show how I've used the kit and add on products to embellish the ornaments for more of a technique video. I hope you enjoy it.
