Vintage Button Hairpins

2012-03-01T21:05:00.001-05:00

These are so much fun to make. I have been collecting vintage buttons for a while and this is the perfect way to use them. I carefully soaked the buttons first then slipped the buttons onto the hairpins and glued them into place with Ultimate glue. The card I placed the pins on is decorated with washi tape by MT and tissue tape by Tim Holtz. I colored the tissue tape with Distress Ink by ranger.

Chalkboard Flower Pots

2012-02-18T16:42:00.001-05:00

These were fun to make. I painted them with Martha Stewart chalkboard paint and tied raffia around the top.

Tip: Use blue painters tape to keep the chalkboard paint away from the top of the pot.

Felted Ipod Cover

2012-01-28T19:36:00.003-05:00

I found a great seller on Etsy,Larissa Holland of mmmcrafts. Larissa had several wonderful patterns for dolls and also a great pattern for a Gadget Cozy. I have made two so far. This first one I made for an Itouch. It was so much fun and super easy to make. The cozy is decorated with a Tim Holtz Sizzix die cut of a pinecone. I used Stickles and a rhinestone for the center of the flower. The back button is really a brad. Make sure to check out Larissa's Etsy shop mmmcrafts to see all her wonderful patterns.

Sympathy cards

2012-01-15T19:43:00.001-05:00

Poinsettia Christmas Card

Holiday Card Making Has Begun

2011-11-21T19:59:00.001-05:00

My holiday card making has begun. This card is an idea for a card to send to my important clients. It may be too detailed and I will have to send it in a box. I guess it makes a statement.

The card was embossed with a Sizzix embossing folder and the tag was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. I cut the pine cone with a Tim Holtz die by Sizzix and colored it with Distress Stains. I used Viva Decor Inka Gold to color the tag along with a little Distess Ink. To make the accent edging on the pine cone I used a Viva Decor Pearl Pen.

Onesie Using New Martha Stewart Multi Surface Paint

2011-09-29T17:44:00.001-04:00

I discovered some wonderful new paints from Martha Stewart this weekend at Michaels. They can be used on lots of different surfaces including metal,wood,fabric and glass. The new line of Martha Stewart paints also includes lots of fun tools, stencils and mediums. I bought the fabric medium to make the paint permanent on fabrics. You just add paint to the medium and mix. It is really simple. I decided to stencil on a baby onesie. I used the color Goji Berry in satin finish. The stencils are from the set Fair Isle Dots. After stenciling onto the onesie I ironed the design to heat set.

Card Using Distress Stains

2011-09-22T21:15:00.001-04:00

I've Been Tagged

2010-02-15T07:26:00.004-05:00

There is a great challenge over at Digital Two for Tuesday to use a little image of a girl in a tag. I rarely get a chance to actually photograph my projects anymore. I got a new camera and for some reason my computer is not recognizing the SD card. So I have to do all kinds of complicated things to get the photos off the card. Well yesterday I had a chance to make the tag and photograph it but didn't have the chance to put it on the computer until this morning. So here is my entry to the tag challenge. She certainly is a cutie. The background is a Cuttlebug folder. I lightly sponges the embossing with Distress Ink to empasize the embossing. The sentiment stamp is Studio G and the rose stamp is a Clearly Vintage from a special limited edition set. The buttons are vintage.

Let's be Friends

2010-02-15T07:20:00.004-05:00

Here is my entry for Digital Two for Tuesday this week. I have used the friends image and the technique that Esther the guest hostess described for creating lace using a border punch and a crimper.

I used two Martha Stewart around the page punches to create the frames and a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background. I colored the image with Copic markers.

Valentine for My Valentine

The First Page

2010-02-03T15:35:00.000-05:00

Awhile back I got a Moleskine sketch book with every intention of altering a page each week. I started the first page and then it sat for two months. I finally finished the first page this week. I have used two images from the Digital Two for Tuesday challenge this week and one of my favorite cabinet cards from Clearly Vintage. The background in a stamp from Studio 490. I used Distress Paint daubers. The little corner was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.

It's a Tag, It's a Card

2010-02-02T05:20:00.002-05:00

Here is a card I made using a tag I made experimenting with a few of my embossing folders and an image from Clearly Vintage. I sponged the tag with Distress Inks and then covered it with Rock Candy Crackle Paint from Ranger. I two small inchie images are from this week's Digital Two for Tuesday. I then glued it to another embossed background letting just a little bit peak out the edges.

A Flower for A Sweetheart

2010-01-25T06:27:00.000-05:00

Well my wonky computer posted the Digital Tuesday post one day early so this is my entry for the Digital Two for Tuesday Challenge this week. The background is a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The edge was done with a Martha Stewart border punch. I made the flowers by curling some ribbom with wired edges.

More Asian Inspired Cards

Loving All My New Embossing Folders

2010-01-23T18:01:00.006-05:00

Well today I precut a whole bunch of paper and just started experimenting with all my new embossing folders. I got the Romance/ Valentines set from HSN and the Asian set from Creative Express and I was itching to see what they looked like. I just love the Asian set. The patterns are so versitile and easy to use. I happen to make some cards using asian images but I don't think you are tied to just asian images with these folders. You judge for yourselves. The stamps are Inkadinkadoo and All Night Media.

Another Two for Tuesday Valentine

2010-01-23T17:55:00.002-05:00

Listen Closely

2009-12-26T06:08:00.002-05:00

Here is a very profound card I made using Distress inks. The stamps are by several companies in my stash.

A Stamp in Hand Card

2009-12-21T06:01:00.000-05:00

This is a card I made using a few stamps from A Stamp in Hand and OI. The cardstock is glossy except for the red accent strip which is matte. I used Marvy Markers directly on the rubber stamp to ink.

Two Cards More

2009-12-20T09:34:00.004-05:00

Two quick cards using Cuttlebug embossing folders and Martha Stewart around the page punches. On thefirst card the image was stamped on glossy paper and colored with Copic markers.

Two Cards for Christmas

2009-12-18T05:46:00.002-05:00

Here are two cards that use the same Cuttlebug embossing folder and Martha Stewart branch punch. I just added some Stickles to the branches to look like snow.

Some Cards for Hanukkah

2009-12-14T06:15:00.002-05:00

Well Happy Hanukkah to those of you that celebrate it. We had a party on Saturday night. There were tons of latkes. I premade them in the morning because I hate to fry with a house full of people. Boy were they good. Here are a few Hanukkah cards I made this week. I will just have to get them out the door before the end of the holiday. I also made some cookies to give out at work.

Letterpress Update.

2009-12-08T06:10:00.002-05:00

So I called Quickutz and they have agreed to send me replacement plate for the ones I used in the Letterpress. Hopefully these will not crack. They told me to try the others sets I purchased and if they crack they will replace them. I have lots of testing to do. Anyway Kudos to Quickutz for standing behind their product.

Letterpress, try try again

2009-12-06T07:46:00.005-05:00

So I took a chance and opened another set of plates. This is the holiday one with a beautiful tree. Yes it is cracking too. With some adjustments the actual printing is amazing. It seems like the cracks are mostly from the areas where the plates were attached during the manufacturing process. Now I am torn. Do I take all this back today and fight with the store because I had to use and open several different packages to figure out that the plates crack, including paper, wipes and plates or do I wait and call Quickutz on Monday to replace the plates. I bought 6 sets of the plates at AC Moore with my holiday money. So I have a lot to return. I am glad I did not wait until the holiday to test it. Here is my first very simple card. I wish you could see the debossed surface in the scan. The best thing is no ink or debossing shows through to the other side. It looks very close to a professional print. Well, I have to say I have been inspired. I spent all day yesterday looking at real Letter presses for sale online. They are huge and quite expensive but a girl can dream.

Letterpress Fun?

2009-12-05T07:43:00.002-05:00

I bought the Lifestyles Letterpress yesterday and I am so disappointed. The printing plates are cracking after one use. I am using it in an Epic 6. The plates and Letterpress came in a set. I'm really not sure what to do. I don't know if it is just the set that came with the machine that is faulty or they all are faulty. I bought a few more extra designs but I am afraid to use them as then I will not be able to return them. You can easily clean everything up with a little bit of vegetable oil on a paper towel. Then wash off.

2 More Holiday Cards

2009-12-01T20:21:00.003-05:00

So I got a few more cards done this weekend. The stamps are by Hero Arts and Penny Black. I added lots of Stickles to make them shine.

Holiday Cards

2009-11-29T19:42:00.004-05:00

So I finally had a chance to work on a few Holiday cards. In my area, people are so many different nationalities and religions, so I usually send a holiday card. I would hate to offend anyone, especially my business acquaintances.

The first card uses several punches by Martha Stewart and Marvy. The lace is an antique piece from my collection. I used Stickles for the glitter accents. The stamps in the second card are Studio 490 and Memory Box. I used Distress Ink to color and stamp.

Digital Two for Tueday

2009-11-24T05:44:00.004-05:00

Here is my card for Digital Two for Tuesday. I sure had fun decorating this one. I probably should have stopped before the flowers but I was having so much fun.

Modern ATC

2009-11-24T05:39:00.003-05:00

This is an ATC I made using the Clearly Vintage stamp set Modern Woman. I used bits of the stamp to create the umbrella border. Don't forget that all the stamp sets are 40% through the end of the month if you order directly from me. There is more information here.

Hanukkah is fast approaching

2009-11-22T05:34:00.003-05:00

So Hanukkah is approaching fast. The first night is Dec 11. I have got to make a few more Hanukkah cards before then. This card uses Stampin Up stamps and versafine ink.

Stamps are by OI and Invoke. Inks are Distress.

Paper Punches and Glitter Oh My

2009-11-09T06:16:00.004-05:00

Well here is another around the page punch set I picked up with a 50% of coupon at Michaels. I am still working on my precision with this one but I kind of like the off look on this card. The snowflake is also a punch from Martha Stewart and the glitter is some of her tinsel glitter. This glitter is so amazing. Though you can't see the sparkle in the photo. I put it on the snowflakes in a hotel in New Jersey. I was on a business trip and did this at night. So if you come across a room with little sparkles here and there you know I was there. The red background of the card is a 5x7 snowflake Cuttlebug folder I ordered from HSN.

Cooking - More MS Punches

2009-11-08T18:15:00.005-05:00

I know it is a sickness. I just love these edge punches. This is a card I made using an image from my other blog Clearly Vintage. My printer is running out of ink, but sometimes it creates the most amazing effects. So this image printed pink. It happened to work great with the paper I chose. The punches on this card are all from Martha Stewart.

Another around the page border punch set

2009-11-06T18:49:00.004-05:00

Here is another Martha Stewart Around the Page border bunch set. This one is called Deco Shells. Ok, it is an addiction. I just love punches. The image is a digital image from my challenge site Digital Two For Tuesday. The black background is a combination of two cuttlebug embossing folders.

Lots of MS Punches

2009-11-02T19:08:00.006-05:00

So I am addicted to punches and Martha Stewart has come out with some great ones this year. This is a card I made using several of the punches. The stamp is by Darcies. I rubbed some clear stickles on the tree that unfortunately just shows up as a shadow in the photo. The background is another one of my vices a new 5x7 christmas Cuttlebug embossing folder. The red is some stickles I rubbed on the background.

My Favorite Holiday Card from Last Year

2009-10-12T17:52:00.002-04:00

This was my favorite holiday card from last year. It was so simple. It was accented with Stickles on the wings. Each card only took a few minutes to assemble. I usually make over 200 hundred cards for friends and family. I probably design several dozen cards. I often get bored making the same one over and over but this one was so cute I made 50. Oh, to think of another easy but great idea for this year.

Steve's Birthday Card

2009-10-06T00:01:00.001-04:00

Next week is my one of my big brother's birthday. I made this card for him using this week's Digital Two for Tuesday images as I won't see him. I copied the ethyl image multiple times and printed it on blue paper to create the background. The key charm and inks are by Tim Holtz. The dots are a stamp by Studio 490.

Tag and Card for Christmas

2009-10-04T17:03:00.002-04:00

I finally got a sunny day to photograph my projects from last week. A few weeks ago I went to this awesome stamp show in Rhinebeck, NY and picked up lots of Studio 490 and Darcies stamps. Here are a Christmas tag and card I made with my new stamps.

Car

2009-09-27T00:25:00.000-04:00

So last weekend I went to a stamp festival. I was like a kid in a candy store. I bought a ton of stamps from Darcie's, Starving Artists and Stamper's Anonomous/ Studion490. This is a card I made for my big brother. He is turning 50 next month. Where does the time go? I used another of my new cuttlebug embossing folders on this one. The background stamps are Studio 490.

Fall Treats

2009-09-26T17:30:00.002-04:00

Here is my entry for the Digital Two for Tuesday challenge this week. I just love this little girl in the sand. I colored her with Copic markers. I am fortunate that I have not had any issues with my ink running from the Copics. My printer/scanner is a Canon. The background embossing was done with two different Cuttlebug embossing folders. The charm is by Junkitz. I made the sand by using 2 colors of Distress Stickles;Distress Straw and Antique Linen. The two seashells my daughter found at the beach in Ocean City, MD last week.

Owl and Bird Card

2009-09-02T20:02:00.004-04:00

Two For Tuesday Bathing Beauty of Summer

2009-08-04T00:03:00.002-04:00

Here is my project for Digital Two for Tuesday this week. I painted a masonite panel with Golden's acrylic paint, distressed and stamped with Ranger Distress ink and then added an old book page to the bottom of the piece. I them covered it all with Golden's Gel Medium. The scrapbook pieces are by EK Success. The bullseye bottle cap is from a beer bottle. I colored the Two Tuesday image with Copics and punched it with the swiss cheese border punch from EK.

Two For Tuesday Bathing Beauty

Well I just got my new Loopy border punch set by Martha Stewart so I had to use them when I made a project for Two For Tuesday. The image is of course one of the digital images from Two for Tuesday and the background stamps are from Clearly Vintage. They are from the set Motif. I inked the edges with distress ink.

Halloween in July/ New Martha Stewart Punches

2009-07-25T19:39:00.002-04:00

So I went to Michael's today armed with 50% off coupons and found some new Martha Stewart punches. They were fall holiday themed and my favorites were the Countinuous Edge System punches. You buy a border punch and a corner punch that coordinate. They work great. I found a great tutorial on Indigo Inklings as the instructions on the label were not very good. Here is an invitation I created using the spider web punches. The stamps are Martha Stewart and Studio G. I also bought the loop punches as well. So hard to resist.

Here is a card I made using a digital stamp from Digital Two for Tuesday. This is my new challenge blog. Take a moment to check it out.
