Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

When I saw this sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch #252, I thought WASHI TAPE!!!
Do you still use washi tape? Well, I still have a bunch, so I might as well use it...


Some of those tapes have metallic details...and the sentiment is from Brutus Monroe Birthday Bears, one of the stamp sets I got recently.

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

Time for more inspiration at Creative With Stamps!



I taught a class last month and one of the techniques was the Resist + Distress Stains...well, I cheated and bought "pre-resisted" tags at Michael's and blended red and yellow DS.


Then, I die cut a panel and stamped on it (retired CTMH).
I added some washi tapes and adhered the resist tag on with foam tape.

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

It's the mid-month inspiration post over at Creative with Stamps Challenge Blog!
Head over THERE to see what our DT has created for you!

Here's my card using a product from our sponsor - EyeConnect Crafts: Lace-Up Birdcage Circular, Large (I used the bottom piece of the birdcage):


Stamp a flower border on the bottom of white card panel in green.
Stamp sentiment several times (some without re-inking) and draw a frame with a black pen.
Cut out egg shapes (I used my ScanNCut) and use washi tapes to "decorate" them. Outline them with a black pen and set aside.

I cut kraft paper for the bottom of the basket. I stamped some textures on both the kraft paper and the Lace-Up Birdcage Circular, Large piece of chipboard. I "accidentally" stamped some texture on the bottom of the card panel! =)
Lace some ribbon on the chipboard.

Adhere the kraft paper and the eggs on card. Add the basket's ribbon handle on card.
Adhere the chipboard on with foam tape.
Add the paper flowers (with enamel dots in the centers).
Stamp sentiment on light pink cardstock, trim ends and adhere it on with foam tape.

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

It's time for a new challenge at Creative With Stamps!!!
This month's theme is:
EyeConnect Crafts makes 100% Recycled Chipboard products: The Totem Poppets and Lace-Ups and more!
You can connect them with mini brads or mini eyelets and/or ribbon, etc...
They are great for mixed media projects and are a little thinner than others, so the projects will not be so bulky!

I love plants and succulents are everywhere nowadays!
That's why I decided to make a Table Top Decoration piece this month...something Spring-y and the best part of it...I don't have to water it! =)


Start with a paper mache' letter "O" (or the number "0"). I chose a deep one, so it can stand on its own.
Paint it with brown paint and before it dries, rub a plastic bag on for a faux leather texture:


I used printed paper for the card and the light green paper for the cut out insert.
I added some Easter washi tape from my stash and added the ribbon (Succulents Fibers) on the flap.

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Two mixed media cards using washi tape:


I mixed two colors of Distress Stain on the craft mat and sprayed some water. Then, I smooshed some papers on it. Let them dry.
I printed the quote (from my L'Amour Digital Stamp Set) and tore the paper.
I die cut some panels (CUTplorations) and stamped a heart (Concord & 9th), using Memento London Fog.
I added some washi tape, sequins and a punched kraft heart (with foam tape).
