Your Invited For Cake

Hi everyone!

Well today I have a new challenge for you all at One Stitch At A Time Challenge 271 Anything Goes with A Special Day. Come over to join us with all your cards showing how you create a card or project celebrating A Special Day.

For this wonderful challenge I used a digital stamp from the StitchyBear Digital Outlet Store Wonderland Cake designed by CraftyGirl Creations. 

When I saw this stamp I just knew what paper I wanted to use with this stamp Graphic 45 - Hallowe'en in Wonderland Collection, I really think it goes perfectly. 

I decided to do something a little different something a little off from my 

usual using fun colors with my copic markers.  

 Here is a closer look of the stamp and the background of the Tag. I used some fun

items to create my background Tim Holtz distressed paints and inks, BoBunny black gesso

with TH stencil Harlequin and BoBunny Grape Glitter paste. 

Here is a close up of the stamp. 

Applied Glossy Accents to nose and clock. I also used black liquid 

pearls applied around the cake and the gold liquid pearls are applied

 to the chain that links to the clock.

Mason Jar Mini Album Quick & Easy

Hi everyone!!

Today I am sharing my Design Team Project using this super cute idea you make in one day. Do you get the kits from Country Craft Creations?? Well if you do, you can use those cute little chipboard mason jars you got in July's Kit and the BoBunny Secret Garden paper collection to make this little mini album.
In my last video about 2 weeks ago I showed you how to use the BoBunny Gesso as a paste with your stencil to make a pattern on the front of your chipboard then you can add the BoBunny pearlescents on top of the stenciled pattern to create a really lovely mixed media cover. You can also use the pearlescents to create a unique look to your metal embellishments and resins.
Hope you are inspired to give this a try.
Check out the CountryCraftCreations Store for everything you see here.

Thanks for tuning in, See ya next time! :D

Butterfly Kisses Micro Mini Brag Book

Hi all,

Today I am sharing a little Micro Mini Brag Book you can fit wallet size photo's inside. It actually fits in the palm of your hand. Such a great gift to give for sending someone pictures that they can keep and carry around with them.

I used the beautiful BoBunny Beautiful Kisses I received from Tamra's store CountryCraftCreations.com. So if you see anything you like or want to see head on over to her store she's got some fabulous items even some kit boxes - Craftology boxes.

Well I hope you all like it. As always I will tell you in detail what I used.

So first the front and back cover are 2 1/4 in x 2 1/2 in. ; The little tags are 1 7/8in 3 3/4 inches and fold in half. The mason jars are fussy cut from the 12x12 sheet. and adhered on to the little tags. If you watch the video below you see how the tags were completed. I used a brad to secure the chain I used for the front and back. I also used the sticker sheet from the 12x12 stack to fussy cut the little mason jar and the sentiment.


 The metal butterfly is painted with BoBunny pearlescents, I show you how to do this technique and another technique using BoBunny's Gesso on chipboard with the pearlescents.

Here is the side of the Micro Mini. There are six pages all together and six tags. :D

Here is a close up of all the items I fussy cut.

Here is a close Up of front of the flap. I used the BoBunny Chocolate pearlescents to make my pearls.

Here is a side flap showing the plane I fussy cut from the 12x12 collage sheet. I used 3D popup dots for the 3D effect.

Felicity's Birdhouse

Hi Y'all,

I hope you all are doing well today. I am a Guest Designer for Country Craft Creations for the month of May. As a Guest Designer I received the New Authentique Felicity Collection and it is just stunning. Some of you may have seen a few of my creations with this collection so far. Well that being said, Today I am sharing a beautiful birdhouse I created with this "Gorgeous Felicity Collection". Every time I think I couldn't think of anything else to create with this Lovely Felicity Collection I come up with another idea. lol

So sit back and enjoy -

I used a regular wooden birdhouse I picked up from JoAnns. 

I did a lot of fussy cutting from the Felicity sheets 1 & 2 and 

the cut apart sheet 6. I also used the BoBunny Gold Glimmer 

Spray on the entire birdhouse before I adhered and painted 

anything on the birdhouse. I also used BoBunny Jewels Licorice, 

BoBunny Gold Pearlescents and Prima Flowers.

Here is the back of the birdhouse. You can see the gold shimmer from the

BoBunny spray. Isn't it beautiful against the wood. Here are the a couple of the

images I fussy cut from Felicity 6 and Felicity 1 and I did use pop dots to raise

the basket of flowers up to give a 3D effect. 

I love this part of the bird it's so cute as the little girl gazes upon 

the beautiful yellow butterflies. 

Here is a CloseUp

Here I am showing you one side of the roof showing a yellow butterfly I 

fussy cut from the Felicity 6. I also used a prima flower that I used 

BoBunny Gold Glimmer Spray, BoBunny Gold Pearlescents. 

To make the roof I used a scallop punch and cut strips 1/2 inch.

Right side of the roof. I used the remainder of the BoBunny

Jewel Licorice from Country Craft Creation store.

Here I used another cut apart from Felicity 6 sheet. These butterflies are just stunning!

I just love the beautiful color combination of blues and yellow and white in this 

collection just really adds so much elegance and gives a vintage touch to these

wonderful images. 

The left side of birdhouse

I hope you enjoyed viewing the birdhouse and that you are inspired to create your own with this beautiful Authentique Felicity Collection or any scraps from another collections or  your craftology box from the Country Craft Creations Store. 

I also have video showing you more of this beautiful birdhouse.

Thank you for stopping by today. Hope you have a great week. 

Stay Crafty,

I hope you all are having a nice weekend. Today we have a new challenge at One Stitch At A Time Challenge 262 - Anything Goes with Hot Colors. Yep, it may be cloudy, raining or cold where you are but it is totally Hot Colors over at One Stitch At time.

For my project today, I created a canvas using IKEART image - angel sitting on a rock.

Hand colored the image with my copics.
I used BoBunny Gesso from CountryCraftCreations, then used textured paste 

with the TH Rays stencil. I used fireworks sprays Dandelion, Tangelo, and Lady Bug. 

The sentiment I found on the internet and printed and used inks around it.

Here is the left side of the canvas. 

I used Tim Holtz Flourish stencil. 

Right side of the Canvas

Here is a close up of the canvas. 

To give the rock some texture I used Viva decor Rusty Paper 

with chunky glitter from Renea Bouquet.

Flowers in my Basket

Hi All,

Hey y'all I wanted to share this tag I made with the New Authentique Felicity Collection. Just turned out so pretty. Don't you just love when you have a vision of something and it turns out just as you expected. Well that's what happened with this beautiful tag. :D

I traced one of the large tags I had on hand and then cut out my Authentique Felicity paper. I used Felicity papers 3, 4 and 6. Using Tim Holtz vintage photo ink around the papers.

Well lets get into what I did -

I made a black bow out of the seambinding Tamra sent me from her shop. 

I sprayed BoBunny Gold Glimmer Spray all over my tag before 

I layered it with my embellishments. I cut apart the black licorice from 

BoBunny Jewels and spread around the tag. The tag in the middle says  

"You are the flower in my Basket" is on the little tag images from the cut 

apart sheets, isn't it just gorgeous. 

Close Up of the Top of the Tag.

See the Sentiment I adhered - Well that is from the top of the sheets of

every paper within the collection. I thought that was a beautiful 

saying so I cut it out and distressed it, crinkled it and inked it. 

Close Up of that Gorgeous Butterfly from Tamra's store

Country Craft Creations.

Here is another Close Up of the middle of the Tag. 

With the Prima Flowers I used some blue paint I had in my stash

to paint the middle of the flowers. 

I used the BoBunny Gold Pearlescent on the stamens, then I sprayed 

the flowers with the BoBunny Gold Glimmer Spray. 

You can see the black jewels I cut apart and put a single gem 

up in the corner and lower corner of the cut apart image.

 Here on the lace I sprayed with the BoBunny Gold Glimmer Spray

let it dry and then I used BoBunny Gold Pearlescent to make little 

tiny dots along the edge of the lace and larger dots in the middle

of the lace. 

Supplies:

All from CountryCraftCreations - Authentique - Felicity, Prima Flowers, Flat Scallop Crochet Lace, Seambinding, Butterfly Charm; Bo Bunny Gold GlimmerSpray, BoBunnyGold Pearlescente, BoBunny Licorice Jewels 

From My Stash:

Inks - TH - vintage photo; blue paint

I hope you all enjoyed the photos of my Vintage Tag I made with Beautiful Authentique Felicity Paper Collection. If you like any of the items I used please click on the names in the supply list and you will be directed to the Country Craft Creations Store.

My Romantic Garden

Hi all,

Here is the second post for today. I know it doesn't happen very often. lol

I had entered into a swap at Scraps of Darkness and Scraps of Elegance and we were to make canvases, But I couldn't post until I knew my partner had received it. For this I used many items the canvas is 8x10 and I painted it with black colored gesso.

Of course I couldn't help but use the TH technique again. I just love this technique it is so addicting and you can use it on just about anything. So I am entering this this into the TH 12 Tags of 2016 - February.

Here is my canvas, you know it's only the third one I've made.
Supplies:
Canvas - from JoAnn's Craft store
Ranger - Texture Paste; Liquid Platinum embossing powder;
Tim Holtz - Stampers Anonymous - Urban Grunge & Flights of Fancy; Idea-ology - brads, Adornments - nature;
Prima - cradle robin (nests); "lovely" sentiment is from a Prima wooden set (can't find the name)
Reneabouquets - Garden Gate Metal Key (you can also find a few of the other items used at Reneabouquets)
BoBunny Juliet Collection -  NoteWorthy - bird and flower paper, the sentiment "My Romantic Garden", flower brad, and clock. (Scrap of Darkness & Scrap of Elegance July Kit 2015)
From Stash - Hampton Art pigment ink - silver; Encore pigment ink - copper; Viva - Rusty Paper; Doilies - heart and circle; metal corner piece (I think momento); Roses from stash (bought at a destash); Chipboard - BlueFern (chipboard from ScrapOfDarkness&ScrapOfElegance Store); Gold lock from stash. I used E6000 adhesive, Art Glitter adhesive.

Started with a white canvas painted with 2 coats of black gesso.

Used the silver ink stamped TH script stamp various areas around the canvas.

Then used my stencil and paste covered it, sprinkled Liquid Platinum over

the top of the paste let dry for about 15 -20 minutes. After dry used heat gun to 

obtain the raised effect. 

I then glued down the lrg paper, the nest and metal

under the nest so it looked cradled. 

For the Chipboard I painted Rusty Paper on it and then wiped off and inked

some copper ink with a touch of black ink around them. 

Adhered my words to Film Strips and popped up with pop dots. 

After I adhered everything down securely I went back over the canvas 

using the embossing technique again along the sides of the canvas and 

along the frame. 

Entering in the following Challenges: TH 12 Tags of 2016 - February;

Well I hope you like it. I thought it turned out pretty close to what I envisioned and my partner said she liked it. 

I think it's great that Tim creates these tutorials every month of every year showing how to use all of wonderful inks, pastes, stencils and items. It allows us to use our own talent or ideas to create something different and unique. I am looking forward to learning more techniques this year with TH 12 Tags of 2016.
