Hello,

Welcome to Club Scrap Woven Strands Blog Hop!!!


I'm super excited, as this is my first blog hop with Club Scrap!
For the complete list, go to Club Scrap's BLOG. Your next stop will be Lisa's BLOG!
This month, we are featuring the Woven Strands Collection...and here are my projects!

First, I have a scrapbook page (for my Project Scrapbook26 #17) inspired by a sketch from Sketch N Scrap Twist Back Thu #8:

I used the green patterned paper, and 2 solid cardstocks as photo mats. On the left, the "half" knot was fussy cut from a cutaparts embellishment and colored with Copic marker.

Look at those lovely silver embroidered accents...layered on a cutaparts embellishment:


The wood veneer photo corner...I decided to leave it unfinished:


Do you see the clear tag with silver foil accents behind "Joy" (which I fussy cut from the cutaparts embellishment sheet and colored with Copic marker)?


I finished it up with scattered rhinestones for some bling!
I used elbow tweezers to help me with the tiny rhinestones...

My second project is a card, inspired by CAS(E) this Sketch #137:


I used the same wood veneer photo corner, green patterned paper and rhinestones as the page above.
I added stamped borders, colored with Copic markers, and a sentiment heat embossed in silver.

Happy Sunday, crafty friends!

Today, I'm sharing a project I made for Club Scrap August Technique Challenge: Shaving Cream Marbling.
You can read about it on their blog (click HERE).

Here's my card:


So, I followed the instructions and once my paper was dry, I trimmed the panel and adhered on the card.
I stamped the sentiment and matted on cardstock. I stamped the tree, cut it out and colored it with Copic marker and colored pencil.
I added some rhinestones for a little bling!

I'm not gonna lie...it's a messy technique! But it's kinda addictive...once you start, you just can't stop! =)

Hope you give it a try, if you haven't yet! And don't forget to link you project!

Have a nice day!

Happy Saturday!

I'm finally catching up on my Project Scrapbook26!
I have a page to share today...
I used a sketch from SketchNScrap #87:


And here's my take...very linear...
I'll add a photo of my hubby and me that a friend took last weekend. Just waiting for the pic!


I used mostly plain cardstocks, blue pearlescent paper and a patterned paper. I flicked some Walnut Ink for added interest.
I stamped and heat embossed (in silver) the "medallion" on the left...then, layered with the blue paper and a cutapart from the Woven Strands Club Scrap Deluxe Kit.

Some of the details:



I also added an embroidered doily and a wooden embellishment...I chose to leave it as is, but you could paint it to match your colors.

Supplies:
Woven Strands Club Scrap Deluxe Kit
VersaMark
Silver Embossing Powder
Heat Gun
Black Pen
VersaMagic Tea Leaves ink pad
Walnut Ink in green (Tsukineko/Imagine Crafts)

Challenges:
1. SketchNScrap #87

Have a nice weekend!

I colored the images with Copic markers and I used metallic marker and glitter on the flowers (although you can't really see it). I cut out the butterfly and adhered with foam tape for dimension. And added some gemstones for bling!

Hello, crafty friends!!!

This is my first Challenge with The Club Scrap Artist Team!!! This month, the Challenge is to use STENCILS!
I have lots of easel cards to share! So, sit back and relax...

First, let me explain the technique I used for all cards:

1. I laid down stencils on watercolor paper and sprayed different colors of Walnut Ink (Tsukineko/Imagine Crafts)

2. Spray some water on
3. Place another watercolor paper on top and rub it to get the impressions of the stencils. These are the impressions I used for my cards.



I used Branches Masking Stencil. The panel is 5" x7". I used blue and green gel sticks (aka Gelatos for kids) and blended the colors with water+brush and fingers. I used VersaMark and heat embossed the edges in silver.
I stamped and cut out 6 images from Woven Strands Borders & Backgrounds UM Stamp Set. I colored them with Copic marker, glued 2 together to form the "flower" and I added the rhinestone to the center.
I stamped the sentiment (Woven Strands Collection Stamp Set), matted with 2 different cardstocks and highlighted "Happiness" with Copic marker. I also added 2 butterfly stickers.


The panel is 4.25" x 5.5" and I used the Twin Tags Large Branch Masking Stencil. I heat embossed the edge in silver.
I stamped the image (Woven Strands Art Noveau Stamp Set), colored with Copic marker and fussy cut it. I fussy cut the stamped sentiment, adhered on the previous image and then, adhered on panel with foam dots. I added rhinestones on the panel.
I stamped and colored the border, then adhered it to the inside. I added 2 rhinestones inside the card to hold the panel in place.

The third card - this is a 5" x 5" Twisted Easel Card:

I used Twin Tags Wavy Lines Stencil. I heat embossed the edges in silver and I also added some color with Distress Ink (Ranger).
I stamped the image, colored with Copic markers and matted with 2 different cardstocks. I added some rhinestones and adhered the panel on card.
For the inside, I added a smaller piece of cardstock. I stamped an image, hand drew a frame with black pen and added rhinestones to hold the panel in place.


Now, you'll notice that this next one is not an easel card...but it's here to show that you can also use stencils to create CAS (Clean and Simple) cards, if it's more your style!
I used Twin Tags Fern Masking Stencil. I stamped, heat embossed the sentiment (Woven Strands Collection Stamp Set) in silver, fussy cut and adhered it with foam tape. I added a butterfly embellishment and some rhinestones.
