Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Welcome to Club Scrap's Blog Hop and Linky Party!!!
This month we're featuring the Boardwalk Collection...


If you came from Karen's Post (at Club Scrap's Blog), you're in the right place!
Your next stop is Kay's Blog!!!

Hop and then create a project and link it HERE!

Here are my projects...


Boardwalk Collection is perfect for Beach/Summer/Vacation themes!
I used printed paper as base, a strip of plain paper with photo mats (Hypno Vintage Paper Pack), and some stamped embellishments (Boardwalk Art Nouveau and Jumbo unmounted stamps).
I stamped the lobster and crabs, cut them out and colored them with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Stain BARN DOOR (Ranger). I thought it would be funny to place the crabs on the beach chairs! =)
I also added some Mod Podge Dimensional Magic Glitter Gold on the eyes.
I added the stamped border and the sentiment (with foam tape).

And I love the versatility of the Boardwalk Collection!
If you don't want to make vacation themed pages...4th of July is almost here!

Some of the papers are perfect for the firework/BBQ photos you'll be taking! =)
I made a mix of traditional and pocket scrapbooking.
On the left, I used printed papers, plain papers and photo mats, a border from Boardwalk Embellishment Cutaparts, Boardwalk Wood Veneer Tag & Stars and the awesome baker's twine (from Boardwalk Fibers). I adhered the Boardwalk Wood Veneer Stars with Mod Podge Dimensional Magic Glitter Gold and I also applied it on the Stars for a bit of shine!
On the right, I used printed papers, plain papers, and Boardwalk Embellishment Cutaparts (some of them are just the right size!).

And last, but not the least...if you like to use Digital Kits, Boardwalk Digital Kit is an awesome one to have:


Once I chose the images I wanted, it didn't really take me a long time to finish this page!
I chose my background paper, added the grass, sand, ribbons, umbrella and chairs images.
I added an image for the background and faded it a bit.
Finally, I added the frames and photos.

Hope you've enjoyed my projects!

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I took a gelatin printing class with Dina Wakley about a month ago...so cool!
We made some prints using GelliArts 8 x 10 LARGE GEL PRINTING PLATE, Dina Wakley's Paints and Stencils, and turned them into a journal!
I had a piece of Tim Holtz Idea-ology PLAIN TISSUE WRAP printed and that's what I used for this tag:


(Sorry about the photo...I used my cellphone, so it might not be the best quality...)

I adhered the Tim Holtz printed Tissue Wrap on cardstock and trimmed it into a tag. I added some more color with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Stain BARN DOOR (Ranger) and Distress Ink Stain TUMBLED GLASS.
I used a flower stem stamp (Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps FLOWER GARDEN) as a branch, colored it with Copic marker and used a white gel pen for highlights.
I stamped paintbrushes and heart (Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps MINI BIRD CRAZY AND THINGS) with CTMH white ink pad.
I stamped the bird and paintbrush on white cardstock, colored with Copic markers, cut them out and adhered on tag.
I stamped the fedora and tie on white cardstock, cut them out and colored them with Copic markers (I drew the plaid patterned on them).
Finally, I added some faux stitches around and "color your world" with a black pen and the fibers.

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

It's my turn to post at EyeConnect Crafts' Blog today...
EyeConnect Crafts makes 100% Recycled Chipboard products.
They are great for mixed media projects and are a little thinner than others, so the projects will not be so bulky!

So, head over there to see how I made this wall decor project using their Totem Starfish and Totem Seahorse Totem Poppets (I also have a YouTube video in HD):

This month, the team was challenged to use the Hypno Vintage Paper Pack...there are 3 versions to choose from...here's a photo of Version #1:


Here's my 2-page scrapbook layout (you can click on each page to view it larger):


I used some plain cardstock from the Boardwalk Collection, since the Hypno Papers are text-weight.
On the Left, I tore 3 edges of one Hypno Paper (Version #2) and adhered it on base.
I tore a photo mat, some other designs from the papers and collaged them on page.
On the Right, I trimmed 9 squares, distressed the edges and adhered them on base. I drew a frame around using a black pen. I cut out some designs from the papers to adhere on some squares (the arrows, numbers and label).

You could just stop there or add more embellishments...since I got some Club Scrap Digital Kits, my plan is to print some embellishments, cut them out and add them to the pages (once I fix my printer!). This is what they will look like:

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

A quick Christmas card using a stamp set (Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps CHRISTMAS TIME) I bought a few weeks ago at a local stamp store:


I stamped 3 images from the Tim Holtz CHRISTMAS TIME set using Tsukineko Memento LOVE LETTER and Memento Cottage Ivy.
I added washi tape and twine before adhering the panel to the green card base.
I colored the berries with Copic marker and added Mod Podge Dimensional Magic.
I outlined the sentiment with Tsukineko Fabrico Marker Green Apple.
Lastly, I added some sequins.

And I have a coupon code for Simon Says Stamp!!!

1. Merry Monday #209: {Inspiration Challenge}

2. Winter Wonderland Challenge: Add Some Sparkle
3. ABC Christmas Challenge - L "Things beginning with L" (light green, lime sequins, "light")
4. Word Art Wed #234-#235: AGoes

I layered a strip of patterned paper, an overlay cut with my Cricut and a strip with the printed sentiment. The images were printed, colored with alcohol-based markers and cut out. I adhered them on card using tape and foam tape, then I added some wooden embellishment.

Thanks for stopping by!

I printed the image and sentiment on a panel, colored it with Copic and ShinHan TouchTwin markers and adhered it on card base.
I applied VersaMark and heat embossed it with Distress embossing powder.
Finally, I inked the edges with a mini ink blending tool.

Challenges:
1. Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Tasty Tropics

2. Word Art Wed #234-#235: AGoes
3. Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #25: 2nd Year Celebration 

I used some papers from Club Scrap Creative License Collection. Stamp set is CTMH...I purchased it a month ago at a stamp show...
The bottle was stamped on a piece of paper sprayed with Heidi Swapp Color Shine Teal.
I stamped, trimmed and rounded the corners of the card (We R Memory Keepers/Crop-a-dile CORNER CHOMPER).
Some details were colored with Fabrico Marker Tropical Lagoon.
