I am so happy to be guest posting for <a href="https://blankpagemuse.com/">Blank Page Muse Stamps</a>. When I saw these images from <a href="https://blankpagemuse.com/categories/featured-artists/a-vintage-girl.html">A Vintage Girl </a> I could not wait to create.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I started by stamping four of the<a href="https://blankpagemuse.com/products/timeless-measurement-set-of-vintage-tape-measures-art-rubber-stamps-designed-by-a-vintage-girl-bpmvgtape.html"> large tape measures</a> in Jet Black Archival ink. I cut them out and using the edge of my scissors I tattered the edges.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlv95eFl9aQTeY6udbgSzPDdQfV-1zp8jjHBAJV5cdND6YGhbcwfy4X8OH-MT613a2blorrU0cmDXFID_JnRHpvElJU3y81yQcmq-8qbEHdPSSGkcYo7jupgPF6FUDQQBDYcvZc33AcmrE/s1600/IMG_4774.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlv95eFl9aQTeY6udbgSzPDdQfV-1zp8jjHBAJV5cdND6YGhbcwfy4X8OH-MT613a2blorrU0cmDXFID_JnRHpvElJU3y81yQcmq-8qbEHdPSSGkcYo7jupgPF6FUDQQBDYcvZc33AcmrE/s320/IMG_4774.HEIC" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I inked them and let them dry. Once dry I took a tiny bit of metal tape and made edges just like you find on real cloth measuring tapes.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For the main panel I stamped the<a href="https://blankpagemuse.com/products/steamie-vintage-corset-art-rubber-stamp-designed-by-a-vintage-girl-bpmvgsteam.html"> vintage corset </a>in the center, again using jet black archival. I also stamped a second corset and cut it out to use for a mask. This was just done on scrap paper. Always save your masks, you never know when you might use them again. I just pop them in the bag with the stamp.<br />
I inked the corset using a pale pink and then covered it with the mask to ink the rest of the background.<br />
The background was inked and then stamped using the <a href="https://blankpagemuse.com/small-crackle-pattern-rubber-stamp/">small crackle</a> stamp.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make her sash I used the rolled measuring tape from the <a href="https://blankpagemuse.com/products/timeless-measurement-set-of-vintage-tape-measures-art-rubber-stamps-designed-by-a-vintage-girl-bpmvgtape.html">Timeless Measurements set</a>. I used jet black archival on seam binding. I trimmed the image and colored the seam binding using Dina Wakley scribble sticks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I lined up the image on the corset and glued it in place. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before I finished up the main panel I flicked on some black and copper paint. I lined the measuring tapes up along the edge of the card and glued them down. I added the sentiment and edged the words using a black gel pen. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added some small clusters of flowers to the corners and a tiny flower on the sash. I know the corner flowers covered the metal edges quite a bit, but I really like how they look. The whole panel was mounted on a black card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I hope you like this card as much as I liked creating it. </div>

Hey Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wow! It's been a minute since I last blogged. I've been a busy bee. We went to DisneyWorld for 8 days. I love Disney. I feel totally relaxed when we are there, even when we walk 52 miles in 6 days. Seriously, six days in the parks and we clocked 52 miles. We are the crazy folks that are there for rope drop and don't leave until we can't keep ours eyes open. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then it's been work, work, work, and decorating the house for Christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did want to share these super fun tags I made for the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Christmas release. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I did a quick tutorial for these over on my Instagram page and thought I would share it here too.</div>

For the middle tag over the entire tag in Lucky Clover Distress Ink. Spritz with water and a bit of Gold Heirloom Perfect Pearls. Le the tag dry and using Pine Needles DO stamp the small heart from the Seasonal Scribbles Set. Edge the tag using DI in Pine Needles.

Us the tall text stamp set to stamp "to" in the center of the tag. You want to be sure this is not visible unless the smallest tag is lifted. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use the Tim Holtz Peppermint stencil to cover the largest tag. Use embossing ink and then emboss using a shiny red powder. Once the powder is cool paint a thin layer of white acrylic paint over the entire tag. While the paint is still wet buff it and it will leave some of the red exposed. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hi Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a super simple card for you today. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3qlCaHLW90kbT4SY3HXFDiqihqB5RVJNnoT-VIviKebhK6hyphenhyphenFUdjePHWg6jenpk6HeWAv_-2y3fP7POVi7elxPAtmag5VCtilYfm-k4e8T-X9sEpMIaUZ_NSC6EI09A3VpKrRk7couB3d/s1600/IMG_3878.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1355" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3qlCaHLW90kbT4SY3HXFDiqihqB5RVJNnoT-VIviKebhK6hyphenhyphenFUdjePHWg6jenpk6HeWAv_-2y3fP7POVi7elxPAtmag5VCtilYfm-k4e8T-X9sEpMIaUZ_NSC6EI09A3VpKrRk7couB3d/s640/IMG_3878.JPG" width="540" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take a piece of <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Ranger-Inkssentials-85-x-11-SPECIALTY-STAMPING-PAPER-ISP32908-42212?currency=USD">Specialty Stamping Paper</a> and use the snow die from the <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Tim-Holtz-Sizzix-WINTER-WONDERLAND-Thinlits-Die-662426-662426THS">Winter Wonderland thinlit die</a> to cut the top portion of the card. Take the tree stamp from the Modern Christmas set (<a href="https://stampersanonymous.com/tim-holtz-cling-mount-stamps-modern-christmas-cms388.html">CMS388</a>) and ink it by just pouncing on several shades of green. Stamp the tree in the center of the card. Make a mask of the tree and cover the tree you just stamped. Ink the tree stamp and stamp the image on either side of the large tree, but lower the stamp so the trees are shorter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut the deer using the Winter Wonderland die out of kraft stock. Lightly sand the deer to make it appear as if they have shades of brown in their fur. Take a few of the dots leftover from the snow and glue them on one of the deer. Glue the deer to the base of card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut the sentiment out from the <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Tim-Holtz-Sizzix-HOLIDAY-WORDS-SCRIPT-Thinlits-Die-660058-660058TH">Holiday Words Script thinlit die</a> and glue it to the center of your card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a mirrored star to the top of the large tree. These have been retired, but you could use a die cut star here too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut a piece of silver metallic kraft stock slightly larger than your card front. The silver peeps through the snow and it adds a lovely twinkle. A large piece of red kraft stock is the card base and a bit of black craft thread is wrapped and tied at the top. There are a few scribbles of white on the red card using a gel pen(no reason for this other than I love to scribble on my cards).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This card can be worked up quickly and would be easy to make in multiples. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you started working on your Christmas cards yet?</div>

Hey Everyone, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's October 1st, so it's ok to post Christmas cards now!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyMyZv4RieZQ5dRZCgn_VjktOaMAPkPnYdoeuto8Ku0vuIy6LwoyhF318MT8Tc5DtEOO9TAY4_xX6UrvqnG0cK0IgsURKpww_mAgDpVsVTqQaasjG-T57AAasX1qY2kvlno4jSP-kAuVVJ/s1600/TMD_Christmas_Card_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1277" data-original-width="1600" height="510" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyMyZv4RieZQ5dRZCgn_VjktOaMAPkPnYdoeuto8Ku0vuIy6LwoyhF318MT8Tc5DtEOO9TAY4_xX6UrvqnG0cK0IgsURKpww_mAgDpVsVTqQaasjG-T57AAasX1qY2kvlno4jSP-kAuVVJ/s640/TMD_Christmas_Card_3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
This is one of the cards I made for the new Christmas release from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous. I loved this one because all of the elements really came together. And the pinecones; I'm a sucker for pinecones. I apologize for the cruddy photos. I had to get a new phone and these were taken with the old guy. They are a bit darker than I would like them.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGI27eyA7rRxSOIRps7HslZxY70JCMBJqXmg9gIEbK05BNOs_Be7xVnxVGmFru73Oi3gvnMLBKIQitEuXHRSjw1h7XkjBx7lcypPflZaSGP7nDQ0KQCzkrCYCTmZNOoz7fOK3kJDwEs3Ee/s1600/IMG_3779.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1201" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGI27eyA7rRxSOIRps7HslZxY70JCMBJqXmg9gIEbK05BNOs_Be7xVnxVGmFru73Oi3gvnMLBKIQitEuXHRSjw1h7XkjBx7lcypPflZaSGP7nDQ0KQCzkrCYCTmZNOoz7fOK3kJDwEs3Ee/s320/IMG_3779.HEIC" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
I started by taking the Stamptember set from 2018 and using archival inks in Peeled Paint and Vintage Photo. I used specialty stamping paper and stamped the images in the corners. I wanted a good portion of the image, but still blank space in the center so the sentiment would draw your eye.<br />
I blended old paper, antique linen, and tea dye distress inks all over the entire background. I lightly spritzed on distress spray stain in tea dye and quickly blotted it so it just makes the paper look like it's foxed. I added highlights using a gold gel pen.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSwiwpx3ltV_HKwi_qw1LDw2XoeVekAIrm13MEI_OW_vunu2FCngGprNGbvsirdmqi7Xx5aXwVRkJQbRiUbIWcbLlJ-2ky0fBkrBDpOybLxBTWMHMPFyDLj7F303Pokd6vrDh2krnyZ2qE/s1600/IMG_3780.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSwiwpx3ltV_HKwi_qw1LDw2XoeVekAIrm13MEI_OW_vunu2FCngGprNGbvsirdmqi7Xx5aXwVRkJQbRiUbIWcbLlJ-2ky0fBkrBDpOybLxBTWMHMPFyDLj7F303Pokd6vrDh2krnyZ2qE/s320/IMG_3780.HEIC" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
The sentiment is from the new Christmastime 2 set(CMS389). It was stamped and then embossed using Ranger embossing powder in gold. <br />
The specialty stamping paper was then backed with brown kraft stock.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
The next layer is the snowflake acetate sheet from last year's Ideaology Christmas Stack. <br />
The gold metallic kraftstock was stamped with the new Lumberjack set(CMS384) using archival ink in Vintage photo. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I dyed some sari ribbon using all(yes all of them) the green Distress Inks. I smooshed then all on my glass mat and ran the damp sari ribbon in it until I was happy with the color. I added a bit of Vintage Photo Distress Ink to pull in the brown. The ideaology pinecones were colored using gold and mushroom alcohol inks. They were tied on with an ideaology tiny bell. I glued the ribbon to the back of the layers and then used a final layer of kraftstock as my card base. <br />

Hey Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been a bit since I have blogged. I have been working my pay the bills job and doing some behind the scenes crafty work. I hope you had a chance to catch the <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Tim-Holtz-STAMPtember-2019-Exclusive-THSept19?currency=USD">Stamptember Tim Holtz </a>release on Facebook Live. I had a blast making samples for this release. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This project might be my favorite. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The turn around time for these projects was lightning fast so I didn't take any process photos, but I can walk you through my project. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGfgo-nVk46irGjDHFuwUAD4yszMxjytV7ZmoNnI9uz_XpOOtwWIfDBZ5LlcuOU15BhGXZW1cnUgxnSfXpnW3BcBaMLQcmgyALmCcyn2AIpcQ0J0SZTbctOLm5gkdbCd5YWh_sh0pNCprL/s1600/TMD_Holloween_Bag_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1060" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGfgo-nVk46irGjDHFuwUAD4yszMxjytV7ZmoNnI9uz_XpOOtwWIfDBZ5LlcuOU15BhGXZW1cnUgxnSfXpnW3BcBaMLQcmgyALmCcyn2AIpcQ0J0SZTbctOLm5gkdbCd5YWh_sh0pNCprL/s640/TMD_Holloween_Bag_1.jpg" width="422" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The treat bag was made using the Tim Holtz In the Bag die and some glittery black paper. I just assembled it according to the instructions. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the tissue, I used plain tissue wrap and Distress Inks. I used Black soot Distress Ink, Carved Pumpkin and Wilted Violet Distress Oxides to make the stars. The stencil included in the Stamptember set has two different star patterns. I used the larger pattern(the more circular one) with the Black Soot and then the smaller pattern with the Oxides. I cut the sentiment off my bat stamp.* Side note: Don't be afraid to cut your stamps! Use a really sharp pair of scissors and go for it! If you can't commit then you could just ink the sentiment too.* The sentiment was stamped using black soot archival ink. The paper was tucked right inside the bag. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the star stencil on a tag to make the black stars. They are embossed with a glittery black powder to match the bag. Once the embossing was done I used Ripe Persimmon, Carved Pumpkin, and Dried Marigold to blend the background. A border punch completed the tag. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The saucy little bat was colored using Distress Inks(Wilted Violet, Dusty Concord, and Seedless Preserves) and a waterbrush. She was stamped using Black Soot Archival Ink on watercolor paper and colored in. I stamped the wing again and colored it on both sides. Everything was fussy cut and attached to the tag. </div>

I left a long tab on the wing and stuck it to the back of the bat. I creased the wing so it matched up with the other wing. Now there is a fun interactive piece of the treat bag. A little word band and paper twine finish it up.</div>

Please pardon the background change on the photos. We were working fast and furious to get these guys out the door. My poor husband was my photographer, editor, and mail man for me! He's a good doobie. </div>

I hope you like my creation! These sets sell fast and once they are gone they are gone. Go grab it before it disappears like Halloween candy does in my house. </div>

I am sharing a little treasure I stumbled across when doing a bit of online shopping.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I found this kit from a class Tim Holtz taught back in 2011. The kit was never used and it was a screaming deal. It has been sitting waiting for me to jump in. <br />
The little suitcase is the perfect size for this ATC booklet. The suitcase was brown and green. I painted it and then sanded it to expose a bit of the original brown. I wanted it to look like it had been carried for many years. The inside was cream colored velvet that I sprayed with Pumice Stone and Vintage Photo Oxide Sprays. <br />
<br />
This post is super picture heavy, so grab a cookie and get ready to scroll. <br />

The cover is made with grungeboard. Anyone else love the smell of grunge board? I love how it can really take a beating and still look amazing. I painted it black, then ran it through the vagabond using the botanical 3D embossing folder. I spritzed it with several colors of Distress Oxide and then added Distress Crayon in Tarnished Brass. </div>

I have been really into creating oversized cards lately. This one measures just over 5x7. I started with a piece of precut mixed media heavy stock and used Distress Oxide Sprays in Peeled Paint, Abandoned Coral, and Peacock Feathers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrJtjP996352zkD5h-BUGAWDccmY0azJKjjREjyFwetYGUmERoP9c8-aXkrdYXbIaN6F9_fkfpp_C1fQZykWe2MU_mUYJiqxPuBQ8QlGZtX-uSQTuI99Chnw0YKCuikp7mfXlyhLylCO1Z/s1600/IMG_3199.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrJtjP996352zkD5h-BUGAWDccmY0azJKjjREjyFwetYGUmERoP9c8-aXkrdYXbIaN6F9_fkfpp_C1fQZykWe2MU_mUYJiqxPuBQ8QlGZtX-uSQTuI99Chnw0YKCuikp7mfXlyhLylCO1Z/s320/IMG_3199.HEIC" width="320" /></a></div>
I misted the paper first to get the blend. Once that was dry I added a bit of Frayed Burlap ink to the edges. The Oxide colors mixed and made a bit of brown, so the touch of Burlap really tied it together. I used a bit of embossing powder and a stencil from the Studio Light Grunge Collection to add the yellow numbers in the background.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFybvKXNYGGcGDZ9uzWKLK-ZvAFTWl3EllFBvYuzgbVq4no1XoHEaMREAjlej6dRwCKs5TGBUoyrKZhGyI2WlUluwXVMQ1lGOsERpB7qTNZNjsn-rzfdJD5bkquvpwgRXlf8kmEKuwJRI-/s1600/58542788509__84747863-2B73-4379-B72C-07B7FD0BC3AF.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFybvKXNYGGcGDZ9uzWKLK-ZvAFTWl3EllFBvYuzgbVq4no1XoHEaMREAjlej6dRwCKs5TGBUoyrKZhGyI2WlUluwXVMQ1lGOsERpB7qTNZNjsn-rzfdJD5bkquvpwgRXlf8kmEKuwJRI-/s320/58542788509__84747863-2B73-4379-B72C-07B7FD0BC3AF.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
It's pretty cool that they blend in even though I didn't use any yellow for the original background colors. I went back in with the stencil and using Distress Ink in Brushed Corduroy added more of the numbers. I finished the background with a touch of DecoArt Metallic Lustre Paste in Brilliant Turquoise on the every edge of the paper.<br />

<br />
The focal image is from the Steampunkesque set from IndigoBlu. I stamped the lady using Black Soot Archival Ink and then colored her using Distress Inks and my waterbrush. I added glossy accents to the glasses and light bulb. Once everything was dry I fussy cut her and added a halo behind her using a 3d impresslit.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I had to position her on the paper to see how I wanted to add my sentiment and just decided to stamp it right on the background using Black Soot Archival ink. The ink goes right over the embossing powder. I used my stamp platform to be sure I got a good dark image. The sentiment stamp is also from the Steampunkesque set.<br />

To complete the card I used used plain brown card stock and a couple sheets of Distress cardstock. A bit of scribbling with my gel pen in random spots made it feel finished.<br />

I started by taking a large chipboard tag from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts and covering it with metal foil tape. I ran the tag through my Vagabond using the Mechanics 3d embossing folder from Tim Holtz. I then pounced on PaperArtsy fresco paint in Buff, Toffee, and Green Patina using a foam blending tool. I added a bit of black paint with my finger so I could really control where it went. Once the paint was dry I sanded it off to reveal the metal underneath.<br />
I stamped out the Steampunk man from the Stamperia Capture the Moments Stamp set on Mixed Media Heavystock. I painted it using various colors of Distress Ink and Paints. I added some gears and brads to the reels on the hat. I cut out the hat and using foam tape adhered it to the Found Relative's head. Using the same paint colors I used for the foil tape I added some chipboard wings behind the gentleman. I added a touch of Tarnished Brass Distress paint so they would not blend in completely with the background. The wings are actually a heart shaped piece, from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts, that I cut in half and spun around. I glued the wings to the gentleman's back and then using more foam tape I adhered him to the background.<br />

A few layers of washi tape were added across the bottom of the photo and help draw your eye to the sentiment.<br />
The sentiment is from the same Stamperia stamp set and was given a light wash of Hickory Smoke Distress Ink using a waterbrush. I glued on some Tim Holtz Hardware Heads and adhered the sentiment to the tag. <br />

Today I have made a little home decor piece for you. I started with a mini Tim Holtz Etc tag and covered it with paper from the Correspondence paper pad. I used collage medium to adhere it to the tag and another coat on top. Once the collage medium was dry I spattered on some Black Soot Distress Paint nand made some scribbles using a white gel pen. A little bit of Vintage Photo Distress Crayon added some shading to the edge of the paper.<br />
I spritzed some of the Tim Holtz Christmas Fringe with Tarnished Brass Mica Spray and glued it to the edge of the tag.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
To create the center panel I used a vignette panel and covered it with paper. I used the collage medium again underneath and on top of the paper. Once again I added black and white details using the paint and gel pen.<br />
Using metal tape I made several lengths of the Mini Provincial 3d Impresslit. I painted them white and then used Distress Crayon in Walnut stain and Vintage Photos to grunge it up a bit. I also pounced on a bit of Mushroom Alcohol Ink. I removed tha backing from the paper and stuck the tape around the edges of the panel creating a frame. I glued the panel to the center of the tag.<br />
<br />
The paperdoll was given a coat of clear gesso and then I added Distress Marker in Faded Jeans and Festive Berries to give her a pop of color. A teeny star was added to her sash for some bling. A metal star was added to the top of her flag. She is popped up on the panel using foam tape.<br />

<br />
The stencil chip was painted with Dina Wakley Media Paint in Ancient. While the paint was still wet I dripped on alcohol ink in Mushroom and Patina. Because the paint was still wet it looks like it corroded the metal. A vintage ticket was layered underneath and then the chip was glued down using foam tape.<br />

<br />
I used letters from the Tim Holtz Halloween typography set to make the word "free.' I sanded the letters and painted on some Tarnished Brass Distress Paint, then wiped it off before it was totally dry. I used collage medium to glue the letters to the panel.<br />

<br />
A flashcard from the Tim Holtz Elementary was added to the bottom of the panel. The card was dinged up a bit by running it along the side of my media mat. I added some Tarnished Brass Distress Paint to the edges and glued it down using collage medium.<br />

<br />
The clip on top was coated with clear gesso and then alcohol ink in mushroom and patina was added to age it. A large star completes the clip.<br />

When I saw these ladies in the latest Tim Holtz Found Relatives pack I knew I had to use them and I knew it had to be snarky. This week's challenge seemed to work out perfectly for them. These ladies look ready to transport a ton of merchandise and fun!<br />
I started by taking a number 8 tag and covering it with a bit of Chipped Sapphire and Broken China Distress Spray. I didn't want too fine of a mist, I really wanted blotches of color so I took the topper off and dripped some of the Spray onto my craft mat. I sprayed it with a bit of water and then dabbed the tag in the color. I dried between layers until I got a color I was happy with. To fill in the gaps I used Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink and my blending tool.<br />
I used Tim Holtz's Cityscape stamp set to cover the background. I used bits and pieces from each city and alternated my archival ink colors.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using a glue stick, I lightly skimmed over areas of the tag and used Rangers Foil sheets to give a hint of gold shimmer. Random scribbles of gel pen complete the background. The edge of the tag has a bit of Gold paint pen on it .</div>

<br />
A bit of gold metallic kraft core paper is behind the photo and I sanded the paper before gluing the ladies down.<br />
I used a teeny bit of the Tim Holtz Classic kraft stock and stamped on the kraft side. I used the Ink Road Mean Girls set and stamped in Black Soot Archival ink. This was mounted on a bit more of the Classic Kraft in Dusty Concord just for a pop of color.<br />

<br />
I attached the sentiment using a mini Tim Holtz paperclip. The teeny plane charm from the Tim Souvenir charm set is tucked under the sentiment and glued down.<br />
A bit of vintage seam binding was threaded through the hole at the top of the tag and a wire pin hold a variety of charms.<br />

There it is! A quick and simple tag for your snarky friends. I hope this project transported you to your creative space and you are ready to join the challenge!<br />

The theme this week is Vacation!</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/"><img class="CToWUd" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsorDqh3nwtbkMAL0rMuHFwpYdbtQ2oK27jetxUfIjZXMmXgDlrnGSBRHgES3tR4LoociMvzantVsyPfONUoEw1VDA42VOM-yp7syrPvGtk0IEFMWWq0UgxnnBTAnzTOY26F-ylNgIbAE/s1600/newchallenge.png" style="margin: 0px;" /></a><br />

<br />
I started by covering my vignette box inside and out with a thin layer of Picket Fence Distress Paint. Once the paint was dry I used college medium to adhere the travel collage paper to the outside of the box. A bit of Tarnished Brass Distress Paint was added here and there on the outside of the vignette box.<br />
Using a piece of matching travel paper from the 8x8 etcetera pad, I glued it to the back the inside of the box. I sanded the paper so the map appears aged and covered it with Pumice Stone Distress Ink. The final touch was to splatter on some Black Soot Distress Paint. I snapped one of the ruler pieces in half. I just held mine in my hand and snapped it. I didn't want it to be even. If you wanted an even cut you could cut it with your craft knife or even use a pair of Tim's scissors to snip it. I wrapped the ruler in a piece of craft thread and added the compass charm. I then glued the ruler inside the box about two thirds of the way down.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
A couple clipping stickers were added to the top of the box. I centered them so they would be above the baseboard doll's head. Then outlined them using a gold paint pen.<br />
The bottom part of the box has a vintage clock face.<br />
<br />
The baseboard doll was colored using a Distress Crayon in Cracked Pistachio. The tiny flower was colored using Wild Plum alcohol ink and added to her hair. Two sets of transparent wings were added to her back using foam tape. The wings got a tiny bit of Wild Plum alcohol ink and some Tarnished Brass Distress Paint added to them. I glued a little clipping sticker to her center and then I glued the doll to the box using several bingo markers to hold her upright.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The bottom of the box is covered with vintage paper flowers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I covered the lace baseboard frame with crackle texture paste and let it air dry. Once the crackle was dry I sprayed it with Distress Oxide Sprays(Pumice Stone and Cracked Pistachio). Some of the crackle flaked off and I was totally okay with this. The exposed areas suck in the spray and you get all that wonderful oxidization.<br />

<br />
I took a ribbon from the Ideaology Ribbon and bow assortment and colored it using Tarnished Brass Distress Paint. Before the paint is fully dry, I wiped some off to expose the metal underneath.<br />
I used a chip quote and banged up the edges by running it along my desk. The edges got a coat of Tarnished Brass Paint.<br />

<br />
The finial was painted with Black Soot Distress Paint and then given a couple sprays of the same Oxide Colors I used on the frame. The little grooves were painted using the Tarnished Brass Paint.<br />

<br />
Using a strong glue I added the fence to the back of the frame and then glued the frame to the vignette box.<br />

I've been keeping a secret. I have been asked to be in the designer spotlight on the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge for the month of June!<br />

I am beyond excited to share what I have been creating for you<br />
. A huge shout out goes out to Lols and the SSS team for letting me play along with them for the month.<br />

We are kicking off the month showcasing a little bit of Prima magic. You don't have to use Prima products in your creations for the challenge, but it would be awfully fun if you did. </div>

The theme this week is Weddings/Anniversaries.</div>

My anniversary was just last week. We have been together for 12 years now. I thought for this project I'd use a little something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. </div>

To begin I covered a Dina Wakley canvas board with Tim Holtz Collage Paper. I used Collage Medium all over the board to stick the collage paper down. Then I added another layer on top. I didn't completely coat the top because I wanted the inks and sprays to adhere to the collage paper in different ways. Once the collage medium was dry I sanded the background so some of the collage paper came off and some of the pattern disappeared. To color the collage paper I sprayed on Distress Spray Stain in Tea Dye and Tattered Rose I dried that and then added a layer of Oxide Spray in Pumice Stone, Antique Linen, and Cracked Pistachio. To finish the base I added the tiniest bit of Walnut Stain Spray Stain and some Prima wax in Vintage Silk. Did you know the traditional 12 year anniversary gift is silk? Using this wax was my subtle nod to this tradition. </div>

For the something borrowed I used this sheet music that a friend sent to me and had stitched up into a pocket. I borrowed the pocket and ripped it in half. Once I decided I liked the size I put it aside and added some of Tim Holtz Botanical Layer pieces behind where the pocket would go. I used collage medium to glue them down, then sanded them, and finally used some Pumice Stone Distress Ink over them so the white paper core wouldn't show. The back of the pocket was then glued to the center of the board. The edges of the sheet music were hit with the Pumice Stone pad as well. Bits of ephemera were added to the pocket and once they were all slipped in place I glue the flap of the pocket to the back. </div>

The bride is carrying a bouquet of vintage blue flowers(this was my something old). I just poked a hole through the Tim Holtz paper doll and glue the bouquet in place. Because the stems are a bit bulky I attached the paper doll to the sheet music pocket using foam tape. </div>

The final piece of the pocket was adding the metal accent. This flourish is from the Tim Holtz Halloween Vignette accent package. I added a bit of Broken China Distress paint and some PaperArtsy Venice Blue(my something blue). I just rubbed the paint on using my fingers and then before it dried rubbed a bit off to expose the original color. The extra bit of Venice Blue paint got smudged around random edges of the board. Gold paint pen gave a teeny bit of glimmer here and there on the collage paper. </div>

The final step was adding the words. I adore the clipping stickers from Tim Holtz. It's so fun looking at all the random sayings and creating stories out of them. You can make new stories every time. So, there is my something new. I created a new piece of art for my husband to celebrate our anniversary.</div>

It's a bittersweet day for me today. After three years with the Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts team today will be my last post. I have loved every second I have been on the team and promise I won't be gone forever. So, for this post I decided to go out the way I came in- full of snark. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This project was made with the<a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=890"> House Oddities box</a>. This kit includes the box and all the little houses inside. It's pretty amazing. </div>

I started with two sheets of watercolor paper and used Distress Oxide Sprays to color them. The first sheet has Broken China, Wilted Violet, Pumice Stone, and Cracked Pistachio Oxides. After the initial layer of Oxides I added some PaperArtsy Infusions in Rocky Road. I areas that were still exposed got hit with Distress Ink in the corresponding colors. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second sheet was made using Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers, and Squeezed Lemonade Oxide Sprays. I added Infusions in Violeta and filled in the blanks with Distress Ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The houses are hinged together using plain white sports tape. I cut a small piece and put it on the front of the house. A second piece went on the back so there was no stick exposed tape. I knew I wasn't going to make the pages too thick with embellishments. If you want to recreate this house and know you will have chunky pages just make the hinges longer. The hinges are painted with colors that correspond to the pages. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut the watercolor paper to fit each house and then stamped up the backgrounds. I used several of Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous sets (CMS364, CMS341, CMS328,CMS302, CMS294,CMS261, CMS187, CMS172,CMS083, and CMS081) for this. Some of the backgrounds were stamped using Archival ink in Hydrangea and the rest were stamped using Staz-on Pigment inks. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Part of the stamping was done before the embellishments were added. After the paperdolls, sentiments, and other bits were glued down I added a bit more stamping. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once all the stamping was done I went back in with various gel pens to add doodles and scribbles. </div>

You can see I added bits to some of the pages. The<a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_35&products_id=1307"> little crown</a>, chain, party hats, and coin add just a bit of bulk but I took that into account when making the hinges. </div>

I painted the exterior black and the interior with Dina Wakley's Lime. Once it was all dry I used Beacon 3 in 1 glue to stick it all together. Don't glue the front to the box or you won't be able to get inside! I gave the exterior a spritz of gold ink spray just so it wasn't flat black.</div>

The interior was splattered with the same color paints I used to color the hinges in the book. You can see the little houses all fit right inside the box. </div>

You can hinge the door to the houses, so when you pull the door open all the houses come right out. I decided to do mine a bit differently and I actually used Tim Holtz hinges to hinge the door to the box. The door panels were covered using the same background paper that covers the houses inside. </div>

Here you can see the top of the box was stuck to the door using a layer of foam tape. The door is hinged to the side of the box using the metal hinges. I used an awl and then was able to use brads to attach the hinges. Please pardon my hand in here, the wooden base I use to take my photos is a bit warped so sometimes projects want to fall over. </div>

The final touches were added by spraying the finials with Oxide sprays in Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio. They got splattered with the paint too. The baseboard doll was edged with gold(and the entire backside is painted gold too). He got his snarky sentiment and was glued to the box using super glue. </div>

Hi Guys,<br />

I recently got this cool Art Doll Nicho(coming to the store soon) from GSL and immediately thought I needed to put butterflies in it.<br />
<br />
<br />
The doll comes in three pieces. I started by cutting a dress out of a bright bold patterned paper and glued it to the main body piece. Then I was stumped. I realized I don't do bright often. So I tore that dress off and went with a more neutral paper (read grungy). Once I did that she really started to come together. The paper was splattered with Black Soot Distress Paint. The edges were inked up using Distress Ink in Pumice Stone. The gold is Dina Wakley Gilt(this is quickly becoming my go to gold color).<br />

The large butterflies on her dress are from the Tim Holtz French Flight stamp and die set. I cut them using mop up paper I had on my desk. The tiny key centers are from Ideaology.<br />

The large wings were die cut using the Fanciful Flight Die using the same mop up paper I used to cut the small butterflies.<br />

Her arms are from the <a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17&products_id=1226">Santos Doll</a>. They are painted with Dina Wakley Gilt. Then stamped using the Blank Page Muse Correspondence Script stamp in Black Soot Archival ink. I used craft thread to make the joints and attached them to the body using a strong glue.<br />

<br />
The second piece of the doll is the head. It's really just a circle that you can use to support the head of your choice. I had this art doll sheet from Art Chix Studios and used one of them. I gave her a halo using the Medallion Impresslit. Some teeny butterflies finish her halo. I wanted to give her a little necklace since the doll head has a long neck. I used some chain from the Tim Holtz Assemblage line to make her necklace and the pearl dangle. The butterfly is a another one from the French Flight set.<br />

The last piece is the little belly box that needs to be folded up. The box is tiny. Use a good strong glue to keep it together. I painted the inside using Peeled Paint Distress Paint and added a flowery paper to the back. The butterflies were cut using the Tim Holtz Butterfly Frenzy die. I spritzed several colors of Distress Oxide ink on my gel press and used a piece of vintage book paper to pull my print. Once the paper was dry I ran it through the Vagabond. The butterflies were glued down to fill the cavity. There are a couple teeny butterfly brads in her belly too.<br />

<br />
The legs are vintage ceramic doll legs. I poked holes into the belly box and ran craft thread though to keep them on the box. They are tied on so they can dangle and move.<br />

I'm up on the Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts <a href="https://gslcuts.blogspot.com/2019/04/easter-greetings.html">blog </a>today.<br />

It's almost time for the Easter bunny to hop by and leave us some candy. We always go to my sister's house for Easter dinner so I thought I would make her a little home decor piece.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I started by using the <a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_37&products_id=806">Build a Layout Easter Set</a>. The frame was painted with Deco Art Crackle Paint and then I rubbed Antiquing Cream in the cracks. I didn't like the sheen on the paint so a layer of Collage Medium made it matte.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnnPSdJe7D10a4nxSc86MoNb5QpLVDh_X-Kv9HWgI9s4-BdJNhHyyvrPepIlkMxrHQi3BaqxXCCV6xH-b_sv302P2n0_NTQ8Nurl8o3Jt-BUaI3CJJ2aQga7oQ0VLCHNwse7qUCmLT8YAL/s1600/IMG_2251.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnnPSdJe7D10a4nxSc86MoNb5QpLVDh_X-Kv9HWgI9s4-BdJNhHyyvrPepIlkMxrHQi3BaqxXCCV6xH-b_sv302P2n0_NTQ8Nurl8o3Jt-BUaI3CJJ2aQga7oQ0VLCHNwse7qUCmLT8YAL/s320/IMG_2251.HEIC" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
The largest bunny was painted with Dina Wakley's Elephant and then sanded so it looks like it's been around for a bit. The bow tie was painted with Sky Blue and sanded as well.<br />
The small eggs were embossed using the Tim Holtz Impresslits and 3d Embossing folders(Medallion andimpresslit, Kaleidoscope and Botanical 3D folders). Once they were dry I painted them using Dina Wakley Turquoise and Lemon. The Lemon Egg was toned down a bit with a layer of ELephant Paint. The third egg was painted using Victorian Velvet Distress Paint. Each of the eggs were sanded to reveal the raw chipboard and a layer of Walnut Stain Distress Ink finished them. <br />

<br />
<br />
The nest is from the<a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=120"> For the Birds</a> set. The base is painted with Dina Wakley Gilt and the top is painted with Distress Vintage Photo Paint. I couldn't see much of the gold peeping through as I wanted so I added a tiny bit of gold foil to the top layer of the nest. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTuDSEx0vNYkKvafLJG5QlBG4tW_uQuF2vfSoW_1Y1VYdPJ6hdEtI47pfjYAFkJnDGUA05IAFIu_T_IeQuCOVpab09-oeZSTj7T4_4vGjlc666IpDkhutI-u23vTlsbzU-ZfkpOQrH8us3/s1600/57669500876__48989CBF-A509-47DE-8DD7-97F61D6E1F36.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTuDSEx0vNYkKvafLJG5QlBG4tW_uQuF2vfSoW_1Y1VYdPJ6hdEtI47pfjYAFkJnDGUA05IAFIu_T_IeQuCOVpab09-oeZSTj7T4_4vGjlc666IpDkhutI-u23vTlsbzU-ZfkpOQrH8us3/s320/57669500876__48989CBF-A509-47DE-8DD7-97F61D6E1F36.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
I measured how how the frame sat on one of the <a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10&products_id=471">Super X tag</a>s and decided to bend the bottom three inches of the tag to create a base. If you score the chipboard you can gently bend the tag until it makes a 90 degree angle.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I covered a<a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10&products_id=471"> Super X tag</a> with a patterned paper. Then splattered on Black Soot Distress Paint and Dina Wakley Gilt. Behind the fame there is a piece of Tim Holtz's Worn wallpaper. The frame and wallpaper were glued directly to the tag base. The bunny and eggs were glued down next. The nest was attached using foam tape since the bunny and eggs were rather thick and I didn't want the nest to bend. Distress Crayon in Hickory smoke added a grungy halo around the bunny.<br />

Moss was glued to the entire base and then the two bunnies that are part of the banner from the <a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_37&products_id=806">Build a Layout Easter Set</a>. were added. They were painted and sanded the same way as the large bunny. Vintage flowers and some old plastic craft eggs were added to complete the base.<br />

A tiny bouquet of vintage flowers were added to the top of the tag.<br />

Well it's time to do some spring cleaning and that includes my desk. I try to be a neat crafter, but my desk always ends up looking like a large bomb exploded in the general vicinity. For today's project I used only items that were on my desk or within reach of my desk. I will admit some of these are mop up tags, so I don't know exactly what is on there.<br />
<br />
Adventure is out there tag-<br />

The butterfly man background was made using Vintage Photo Oxide Spray and then I added Hickory Smoke ink through a stencil(THS091). I shifted the stencil and added Peeled Paint Oxide Ink. I splatted on some Black Soot Distress Paint and then stamped the flourish(CMS070) in Ground Espresso Archival Ink. The edges got a bit of Vintage Photo Distress Crayon for shadow.<br />

The paper doll was inked up using Tsukineko Inks. His buttons and watch chain were colored using gel pens. Get got a pair of wings and was glued to the tag. I had a snippet of the mini provincial impresslit left so I popped that in the top corner. Chic chat words were inked up using Peacock Feathers Distress Ink and glued down.<br />

A snippet of the <a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_19&products_id=1188">Meadow Flowers</a> was on my desk so I added a couple layers of gesso and once that was dry I added PaperArtsy Infusions in The Sage to the stems. I added grit paste to the flowers and used Peacock Feathers Distress Ink to color them. There was some leftover Distress Crayon on my desk from edging the tag and I used that to dirty up the flowers. Once that was glued down, I added detail using gel pens.<br />

For the eccentric, but very estimable gentleman tag I used a mop up tag that had some blues and purples on it. I added some leftover rust from when I was rusting up bits and some Seth Apter Stamps(Eclectica3). <br />
The circles are from the <a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17&products_id=1252">Mixed Media Fragments 1 Small</a>. I rusted them using PaperArtsy's Rusting Powder and then added Verday Paint from 10 Second Studios for the oxidized brass bits. I cut the circles into three segments and attached them to the card using glue. I added Tim Holtz Hardware heads to make them appear to be bolted down. I added alcohol ink in Patina, Mushroom, and Coffee to the hardware heads. Then I popped on a bit of Distress Crayon in Cracked Pistachio for a bit more dimension.<br />

This little guy gets stuck in all kind of things. Today I popped him in a lightbulb from the <a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_32&products_id=429">Steampunk Lightbulb Set</a>. The lightbulb was painted white and then the bulb portion was given a layer of DecoArt Crackle Glaze. Once the glaze was dry I added Distress Crayon in Black Soot and Brushed Pewter. A thin piece of acetate was added behind the bulb and colored with mushroom alcohol ink. The tiny crown on his head will be coming soon to the GSL cuts store(I cannot wait for you to see all of these teeny crowns).<br />

This tag was made by using Oxide Spray on my gel plate. It makes such gorgeous and dreamy backgrounds. I used a Tim stencil(THS051) for the words and numbers. I used Hickory Smoke and Black Soot Distress Ink for the coloring. White paint is splattered all over the back, Perfect Pearl spray, and gel pens finish the background.</div>

The main title is from the Tim Holtz Noble Gent set(CMS301). That was stamped in Black Soot Archival. The little halo around the bulb is the same set. I used Dina Wakley Paint in Ancient and Gilt to stamp out the halo. Be sure to clean paint off your rubber stamps right away! </div>

Do you save all of your little bits to make projects with later or do you toss out the scraps?<br />

<br />
Hi Everyone,<br />
I'm up on the Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts <a href="http://gslcuts.blogspot.com/2019/03/spring-toadstool-fairy-exploding-canvas.html">Blog</a> today.<br />
The weather has been so nice here. Flowers are blooming and pretty soon we will start seeing the baby ducks in our little neighborhood lake. It's also the time of year when I start to make fairies. Ah, who am I kidding I love to make fairies all year round!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A couple years back I made an exploding canvas and I totally loved the process. I decided it was time to make a new one and this time I gave it a little twist. I knew I wanted a tiny fairy so my canvas had to be small too.<br />
I started by covering a 5x5 canvas with Tim Holtz Collage paper. I used collage medium to adhere it to the canvas and coated the top too. I dried it with a heat gun. Once the collage paper was dry I used texture paste and a flower stencil to add detail to the top and bottom corners.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sprayed the canvas using Distress Oxide Spray in Peeled Paint, Vintage Photo, and Iced Spruce.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added paint splatter in black(Distress Black Soot) and gold(Dina Wakley Ancient). I used Distress Crayon in Lucky Clover to enhance the texture paste flowers. At the end I decided to add a bit of Worn lipstick and Picked Raspberry Crayon to the flowers too. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once the paint was dry I flipped the canvas over and used a different collage paper to line the inside of the canvas. I blasted it with the heat gun and then cut the canvas up. You can see the cut lines. This is the scariest part of the whole process, but the outcome is fabulous. </div>

Before I started prepping my canvas I took the <a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=14&products_id=1227">Mini Shadowbox set</a> and put together a couple of the boxes I thought might fit into the frame. Once I had one that fit right I started working on the canvas. I didn't want to get this far into the thing just to discover that what I thought it would look like in my head would not work out at all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the canvas was cut I glued the pieces to the front of the canvas creating an opening. </div>

For the hollow, I wound up using the smallest of the shadowboxes. The fun thing about the box this size is that it doesn't take much paper to cover it. I spritzed a manila tag with Worn Lipstick Oxide Spray and let it air dry. The air drying seems to make it oxidize a bit better(it also could be my imagination).I gave it a quick mist of water on either side and ran it through my 3d Kaleidoscope embossing folder. This one tag covered the entire outside of my box with some to spare! I sanded the tag a bit and added some Distress Crayon in Gathered Twigs to highlight the raised areas. </div>

The inside of the box was lined with paper and washi tape. I really just wanted the little flowers to peep through in the back there. I added some spun cotton toadstools, moss, and a teeny paperdoll. The new Tim Holtz wings work perfectly on this guy. </div>

To finish the canvas I colored seam binding using the Worn Lipstick Oxide spray and a bit of Tea Dye Distress Spray. I made a fluffy bow and added a word band. In the top corner, opposite from the bow, I added a flower cluster with some additional moss. </div>

Earlier this year I made the decision to step down from most of my design teams and not to apply to any new ones. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy being on teams and I have been on some amazing ones, but I missed making just to make. I wanted more time to play with my stuff. Today I pulled out a bunch of my new toys and just made. I wanted to try a couple experiments, some worked and some didn't but I had the time to do it. I think play makes you a better artist. You learn how to use your tools in new and creative ways. <br />
So, here is the result of today's session.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRfwuE0Yd1pEC2BIJZTc_AllNF8-BfTOkNUBtmV541JMmoZHk6rRV29T175FKayLwPh5NOc5n7AkM9CtVEZj00fxyIz5sBUaqqm27whmlDv9B_ZtpJIQhr5BY1hMl1s-LcP_3BjzONvVAG/s1600/81D1263C-122E-4397-B7E2-D21085C9222D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRfwuE0Yd1pEC2BIJZTc_AllNF8-BfTOkNUBtmV541JMmoZHk6rRV29T175FKayLwPh5NOc5n7AkM9CtVEZj00fxyIz5sBUaqqm27whmlDv9B_ZtpJIQhr5BY1hMl1s-LcP_3BjzONvVAG/s640/81D1263C-122E-4397-B7E2-D21085C9222D.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
I used one of the mini etcetera tags from Stampers Anonymous as my base. I covered it with paper and then coated the whole thing with collage medium. I sprayed on Worn Lipstick, Cracked Pistachio, and Vintage Photo Oxide sprays. I dried it with the heat gun and then wiped it down. I then added grit paste through a stencil and dried it. Once it was dry I painted the flowers(Distress Paint in Victorian Velvet, Peeled Paint, Twisted Citron; and Dina Wakley Paint in Blushing) and then spritzed them with my glitter duster. Using a dry brush I added paint to the background(PaperArtsy Paint in Green Patina and Distress Paint in Tarnished Brass) and then splattered on Black Soot Distress Paint.<br />

<br />
I pulled bits from my vintage ephemera drawers and picked pieces that matched the color scheme of the base. The vintage fortune gave me the idea to create the social butterfly. <br />
I picked the Found Relative out of the new pack and started to alter her. I took two pairs of the new acetate wings from Tim Holtz and coated the back of one with collage medium. I smooshed Oxide ink in Victorian Velvet, Worn Lipstick, and Spun Sugar on my craft mat. I ran the wings through and dried them. I added a couple more layers like this. Once I had the pink the way I liked it I sprayed the wings with Distress Spray Stain in Tea Dye and used an old Perfect Pearls mister to get the hint of sparkle. I coated a second pair of wings and then smoosh the two together.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut slits into the photo and slipped them in. I glued them to the back of the photo. I took some teeny vintage flowers and gave her a large bundle right where she had some flowers on in the photo. I colored the background using a Distress Marker in Tumbled Glass. I added a double layer of foam tape to the back of the photo so she is raised off the base. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I embossed a Gypsy Soul Frame with gold embossing powder and slipped it behind the photo so you can just see the flourish. </div>

There ya go! The social butterfly is ready to go to her supper(did you see that on the vintage ticket) and mingle. </div>

My crafty mojo has been on a major hiatus the past couple of weeks. You know when you sit down and everything you make is just blah? Or you just sit there and stare at all of your supplies and you've got no ideas? That's been me. I decided to just play.<br />
I started by taking the <a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_38&products_id=1159">Feathers</a> and some PaperArtsy Infusions to colorize them. I gave each feather a layer of gesso. Once the gesso is dry I made a puddle of white paint and sprinkled in some infusions. The infusions will react with the paint, but if you lightly spritz it with water they really come to life. I dipped and dragged the feathers through the paint. On a few of them I sprinkled some extra infusions on top of the first layer and spritzed with water. I inked the edges(on the feather I used on this project I used Peacock Feathers) and added a bit of gold using a paint pen. Now I have a whole bunch of feathers in different colors and shades for future projects. <br />

A while back I got a blank tin from Gina(Ms. Gypsy Soul) and I decided it was time to use it. I painted the tin using a layer of clear gesso. I added a crackle glaze from Deco Art. It's a super fine crackle and I ended up covering most of it up with my paint job, but in certain areas the crackle peeks through. </div>

The main color is Dina Wakley Turquoise mixed with a hint of Umber. The speckles were added using Distress Oxide Sprays in Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain. I wanted the tin to look like a robin egg. </div>

For the inside of the tin I added Tim Holtz Collage paper to the shallow side. I used collage medium to adhere the paper to the tin. Using water on my finger I ran it around the edge of the tin to rip the paper. I didn't want it to be exact in the tin. If you peek there are little spaces where the silver of the tin can be seen. The frayed and wrinkled edges make me happy. You all know by now that perfection is not my thing!I added some clipping stickers and edged the paper with a gold paint pen. I love how it looks like loose gold leaf on the ragged edges. </div>

On the deep side of the tin I cut a piece of paper to fit the back and glued it in using collage medium. I took one of the <a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15&products_id=1021">Scalloped Tin Insert</a>s and ran it though my 3d Kaleidoscope embossing folder. Using my finger I ran a thin layer of white paint over the surface. Before it was dry I rub it to expose the raw chipboard underneath. I ran my Hickory Smoke Oxide pad over the top to age it too. The inside edge was inked gold using the paint pen. </div>

The good egg fairy is sitting on a small plastic egg that I smushed so it was dented on either side. This gave me a flat surface to glue to the bottom of the tin and a concave side to sit a second egg in. She is propped forward by placing a small wooden die behind her.</div>

The fairy is a tiny Tim Holtz paper doll that was coated in clear gesso and colored using distress markers. She has tiny shrink plastic wings and a crown. The "good egg" was trimmed out of a dictionary and glued to her dress using collage medium. </div>

To finish the outside of the tin I layered up three washi tapes and glued them to the tin. I used a rub on word in the bottom corner and used foam tape to attach the feather.</div>

Hi Guys,<br />
I'm up on the Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts <a href="https://gslcuts.blogspot.com/2019/02/wear-it-again-tomorrow.html">blog </a>today.<br />

I've been in a bit of a snarky mood lately and when I saw this lady I knew she needed to be used for a project.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBqrsSTwtHEwJjoXNlxTJy-E2nCy5mFAxPDQ2SfAXbPFuYJb48czQcx6vJuSZPFMQXL0pbr75fiqPRhyphenhyphen3KKISm4jhV5bpaWqzlldReeAgnO4PunM3XrAet-wxTlvSOogof52bnB08wqEKs/s1600/IMG_1019.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBqrsSTwtHEwJjoXNlxTJy-E2nCy5mFAxPDQ2SfAXbPFuYJb48czQcx6vJuSZPFMQXL0pbr75fiqPRhyphenhyphen3KKISm4jhV5bpaWqzlldReeAgnO4PunM3XrAet-wxTlvSOogof52bnB08wqEKs/s320/IMG_1019.HEIC" width="240" /></a></div>
I started by taking my <a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_31&products_id=1259">Laurel Frame</a> and covering it with a layer of gesso using a foam brush. Using the same brush I added some Dina Wakley Paint. I didn't clean the brush between uses so there was still gesso in there creating different shades of blue.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Using the script stamp from the Tim Holtz Entomology Set(CMS328). I stamped across the frame in Hickory Smoke Oxide Ink. I sealed the ink using Micro Glaze.<br />

For the back panel I used a 5x7 canvas board and loosely painted it using the paints pictured. I added some stamped bits from the Time Holtz Mini Media Marks(CMS364). These were done with Archival Ink in Black Soot and Hydrangea. Before I finished my project I added in a bit of Victorian Velvet Distress Paint to pick up the pink you see in the background piece. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To mount the photo I used a piece of humble cardboard. Peel parts of the top layer to expose the corrugate and then cover with gesso. I did a couple thin layers to cover all of the brown. I added some collage paper to the bits that still had the full cardboard using collage medium. To color the cardboard and collage paper I used Distress Crayon(Victorian Velvet, Cracked Pistachio, Worn Lipstick, and Gathered Twigs) and water to give it a dreamy hazy look. Pearl details were added to the frame and the snarky sentiment. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To complete the piece I painted a set of <a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_36&products_id=1209">Mini Petal Corners</a> using Dina Wakley Ancient Paint. </div>

A couple close ups of the finished details. I ended up going back with Jet Black Archival ink and restamping the script on the frame. I added a bit of DIstress Crayon in Gathered Twigs to dinge it up. There is a teeny bit of the Dina paint in Ancient on there too.<br />

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I haven't really taken much time to make projects just for me lately. I took a day and decided to do just that. While at Creativation I took a class with<a href="https://scrapcosy.com/"> ScrapCosy</a> that was hosted by <a href="http://www.paperartsy.co.uk/">PaperArtsy</a>. We got to play with Infusions. They are similar to Magenta's Nuance Powders or Brushos, but they have walnut crystals in them so they make really cool effects. When I got home I pulled out my Nuance Powders and the couple Infusions I got during class to play(I have since ordered more). I wound up making a trio of tags using this paper doll. </div>

For this first tag I put white paint on my craft sheet and added some powder to the paint. Just a teny shake of the bottle. Then I spritzed with water and watched the color bloom. I plopped my tag into the paint and lifted. I repeated until my tag was covered. Once it was dry I used a Tim Holtz Stencil to add some hearts to the background using Picked Raspberry Distress Ink. I added a shadow by using a Wendy Vecchi mini detailing tool and Black Soot Distress Ink. A white gel pen added an extra pop to some of the hearts. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the new Tim Holtz Mini Media Marks(CMS364) to add some detail around the edge of the tag. To stamp them I used a new Tsukineko StazOn Pigment Pad. I am in love with the super bold colors. The circle behind the doll is from the Dina Wakley Weird is Good Stamp set. I glued him down and added a party hat. The final touch was the snarky sentiment. </div>

The second tag was made in the same basic manner for the background. I did add more nuance powders to my glass mat and just spritz with water to get the black/gray splatters. I used the same stamp set from Tim Holtz and the tsukineko ink. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This dude has seen some things. He was actually just hanging out on my desk and was a victim of over splatter from several previous projects. I colored his jacket using the tsukineko ink and a qtip. It left him with a super bold jacket and it would not rub off at all. I cut a slit in the doll and added a teeny pocket square made from vintage seam binding. using the Tim Holtz tiny attacher I added a bit more of the seam binding to the top of the tag. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the snarky sentiment this guy got. I think it works perfectly for this paint splattered gentleman.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The final gentleman has found himself in a fine mess. This tag used leftover mess from the Nuance and Infusions. I just ran my tag through and left it to dry. I added color using Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Cracked Pistachio, Hickory Smoke, and Black Soot. I used a new stamp set from Seth Apter and Paper Artsy for the circles. The cross hatching and arrows are the Tim Holtz set mentioned above. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Tim Holtz Craft Thread to add detail by just hand stitching randomly on the tag. I colored his shirt using Cracked Pistachio Oxide ink. It kind of looks like he's sporting a turtleneck. You can see the detail I added with gel pens here too. Each tag has scribbles of white, black, gold, and silver.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was totally inspired by a class Tim Holtz just taught at the recent Creativation show(and he was inspired by Paula Cheney). I wanted to create something similar to what I had seen done, but put my own twist on it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Start by running the solid half of your <a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_23_26&products_id=345">Steampunk heart</a> through your die cutting machine using a 3d embossing folder. Spritz the chipboard on both sides before using the embossing folder so the chipboard really gets nice texture.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJwtTcJX-oG4Jk1oNj9LSVGENFcleVg_MnXGDDBEt0hn6cIAN8UfrOa-5bT2q0t_yYvSd3JcrluJG6MEdkB1a1tp9WWbGJEJkyxGO1ydzW0ML8sUa5ydIhZoATHT67OjgQZC6wf4u2-Uw/s1600/IMG_0933.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJwtTcJX-oG4Jk1oNj9LSVGENFcleVg_MnXGDDBEt0hn6cIAN8UfrOa-5bT2q0t_yYvSd3JcrluJG6MEdkB1a1tp9WWbGJEJkyxGO1ydzW0ML8sUa5ydIhZoATHT67OjgQZC6wf4u2-Uw/s320/IMG_0933.HEIC" width="240" /></a></div>
Using collage medium adhere Floral college paper to the embossed half of the heart. I did a thin layer on the heart and adhered the collage paper. I applied another layer on top and really worked the paper in with my fingers so you could see the embossed texture.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfM9CqUlLMUNTQy2OP_l1kuqI3od46S5RGopPK4g6ZGaEVkMHPhW6keNUYG5manXEdApcV_0KQrNzrdWAy4BFTUavBZVyqR9uHCgKp0EQFinMMhyphenhyphenYX8FCa1cGebX1_UYvgM-70vFCxfqA/s1600/IMG_0998.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfM9CqUlLMUNTQy2OP_l1kuqI3od46S5RGopPK4g6ZGaEVkMHPhW6keNUYG5manXEdApcV_0KQrNzrdWAy4BFTUavBZVyqR9uHCgKp0EQFinMMhyphenhyphenYX8FCa1cGebX1_UYvgM-70vFCxfqA/s320/IMG_0998.HEIC" width="240" /></a></div>
Paint the gear side of the heart using Dina Wakley media paint in Umber. Paint the gears using Dina Wakley Media paint(Gilt and Ancient) and Tim Holtz Distress Paint(Brushed Pewter). Add metal gears on top of some of chipboard gears for dimension. Add embossing powder and crackle texture paste randomly on the heart for even more visual interest. When the crackle paste is dry rub in a bit of Gathered Twigs Distress Crayon.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">Take one of your </span><a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10&products_id=283">Extra Large Tag</a>s <span style="text-align: center;">and cut about three inches off the bottom. Cover the entire tag with patterned paper. Add bits of ephemera and adhere them to your tag. I used a mix of vintage and reproduction ephemera here. I love to mix old and new. The entire tag gets a coat of collage medium. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBT94LD2ryzW_p1hgbOPlCTXZBJJ_-6R9_mzPFYJjqC_7XbFZLxulMZTESCzpd5GTGZWrulepXTIodChmNp6M8O5JGSMRxtOkkwhF12jtPF4n5UQHMpI1kA_y4P7Xh72khgiv4T2V5jqI/s1600/IMG_0938.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBT94LD2ryzW_p1hgbOPlCTXZBJJ_-6R9_mzPFYJjqC_7XbFZLxulMZTESCzpd5GTGZWrulepXTIodChmNp6M8O5JGSMRxtOkkwhF12jtPF4n5UQHMpI1kA_y4P7Xh72khgiv4T2V5jqI/s320/IMG_0938.HEIC" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once the collage medium is dry smoosh Distress Oxide inks onto your craft sheet and tap the tag into the ink. The ink will stay beaded up on the craft sheet and you get neat splotches of color. When you have a bit of color on your tag spritz with water and allow to air dry. Do this step several times until you achieve the color you like.</div>

Then add random blobs of grit past on the sides of the tag. Once the paste is dry, use the same Oxide inks to color the grit paste. Add Distress Crayon in Black Soot to the edges of the tag. Splatter the tag with white, black, and gold paint. </div>

Using foam tape adhere the heart of the tag. Give the paper doll a layer of clear gesso and color in his suit using Distress Marker in Mowed Lawn. Add a resin flower to his suit. Glue the ruler to the heart and using foam tape adhere the man so he appears to be sitting on the ruler. </div>

Color in the word token using Distress Crayon in Picket Fence and add a jump ring. Take an old paint brush and add a jump ring to the top. Add the rings to a vintage laundry pin and stick the pin through the fabric at the top of the tag. The fabric at the top of the tag is actually a piece of my clean up rag I use in the studio. I just cut a piece off because I really liked the colors on it. To complete my tag I took some gel pens and made marks all over the piece.</div>

It's that time of year when everyone starts to think about hearts and flowers. When I saw these Heart Playing Cards(that will be coming to the Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts store soon) I knew exactly what I wanted to do.<br />
The cards come in two pieces. You get the front decorative side and a plain piece of chipboard that makes up the back.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc-hzSCvsDDHnltDgfR4096XeJp5upCgUMcOsZANwREKCVA0vKU2DQmgcxzQiWMHe3eLbQ3u6U5kzGS8OSvpE-oCHWliN7jhMx553xDY32uqcIVEjaEXmSLMkBM6DuOPLuyNqc3RL7k64/s1600/IMG_0648.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc-hzSCvsDDHnltDgfR4096XeJp5upCgUMcOsZANwREKCVA0vKU2DQmgcxzQiWMHe3eLbQ3u6U5kzGS8OSvpE-oCHWliN7jhMx553xDY32uqcIVEjaEXmSLMkBM6DuOPLuyNqc3RL7k64/s320/IMG_0648.HEIC" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Start by running the back piece through your Xyron machine to cover the piece. Add a piece of decorative paper, then emboss using the Tim Holtz 3d Botanical folder. I wanted to make the back out of velvet, but I didn't have any velvet paper. I tried several different things to create my own velvet paper and nothing looked quite right. If you have ideas give me a shout! I ended up deciding to use this red paper that looked aged enough to appear as though it had been held many times over the years.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjaZn6Bg11ywwm6ILsJVexU3Itag1p_uv7J9fHJzc1EaNtM5-wZWXRyfTHje2pm-Y4sR8f_1wRacQM-STM7WTkzZvWIQoJpdUQffXByv1Z9XPWDHGMoMXg6z6NCuy7sg7A7LqlR4MqEug/s1600/IMG_0649.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjaZn6Bg11ywwm6ILsJVexU3Itag1p_uv7J9fHJzc1EaNtM5-wZWXRyfTHje2pm-Y4sR8f_1wRacQM-STM7WTkzZvWIQoJpdUQffXByv1Z9XPWDHGMoMXg6z6NCuy7sg7A7LqlR4MqEug/s320/IMG_0649.HEIC" width="240" /></a></div>
Paint the reverse side of the back piece using red paint. I went with a metallic red, but really any red will do. Don't worry about getting paint in all of the cracks as most of this will be covered and you won't see any patches. Set the back pieces aside to dry.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

While the back piece are drying take your photos(these are Tim Holtz found relatives, but you can use any old photos) and cover them with a layer of Vintage Beeswax embossing powder.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Once your powder is melted you get this wonderful look. You can add lots of layers to make it smooth or even crack the finish. This is a technique my fellow teammate Jennalee likes to use and you can see what that looks like <a href="http://thepaperedsoiree.blogspot.com/2019/01/with-wonder-shadowbox.html">here</a>.<br />

Emboss the heart overlay using Charred Gold embossing powder. Adhere the photo and the overlay to the back panel. See how the red just peeks out from behind.<br />

Emboss your floral diamond with a very thin layer of Charred Gold powder. Stipple on alcohol ink in slate, mushroom, and latte to age the finish. </div>

<br />
Hi Everyone,<br />
I had to make a gift card holder for my daughter's teacher and decided it needed to be extra pretty. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrdAsQkvBfoslgPnzOV6-GoBiQfIzSjzsQ_pRoGDk94Bhh58-2aZ6y4HFMhtk4ddIrZFefpR_eHlT4u2VfAmJMcnvMjZRcrtViVYlgU0nw_F7X_wilFrhcAKqLsVxfa7FW79dF7eyOD0I/s1600/GS+January+2019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrdAsQkvBfoslgPnzOV6-GoBiQfIzSjzsQ_pRoGDk94Bhh58-2aZ6y4HFMhtk4ddIrZFefpR_eHlT4u2VfAmJMcnvMjZRcrtViVYlgU0nw_F7X_wilFrhcAKqLsVxfa7FW79dF7eyOD0I/s640/GS+January+2019.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

It might look complex, but really there's not much to it.<br />
Start by cutting out your Sizzix and Tim Holtz gift card holder. Since the gift card I was putting inside had snowmen on it I decided to go with a snowflake theme.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Take the mittens from the Snow Fun set from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts and emboss them using Charred Gold embossing powder. Using the <a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_23_28&products_id=1202">Snowflake Shape Set Minis</a> emboss two medium sized flakes with Soft Fallen Snow. Emboss one tiny flake using Hammered Metal.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Glue one flake to each mitten and on the top mitten add the tiny snowflake. Edge the top of each mitten with tinsel twine that has been colored with alcohol ink in Mushroom. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Glue the mittens to the front of the holder, right on the ribbon running down the center.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Emboss two flakes from the <a href="http://www.gslcuts.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_23_28&products_id=17">Snowflake Shape Set</a> and glue them to the back of the holder. You don't have to decorate the back of the holder, but this could be turned into an ornament so I wanted the front and back to look pretty. </div>

Cut out several metallic branches from the Tim Holtz Funky Festive die set. Cut out a small berry branch in two shades of blue and white. Assemble the berries so the centers are blue. You just want a pop of blue. Glue the branches under the bow. </div>

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. I wanted to show you one of the Christmas cards I created this year. Although Christmas is over, you can use this technique year round.<br />
You don't need a ton of stamps to create a beautiful card. This lovely card uses just one stamp.<br />
Start by trimming your card to the size you want it to be or use a pre-cut card.<br />
Mount your <a href="https://blankpagemuse.com/holly-berries-branch-art-rubber-stamp/">Holly and Branches Stamp</a> to your stamp platform. Color the stamp using various markers Distress Markers.<br />

Don't be afraid to layer your colors. The leaves will all turn out just a tad different and add a more realistic feel to your card. If the marker dries as you are coloring just breathe on the stamp and it will rehydrate the ink.<br />
