Alter it!

I am excited to not only participate in Splitcoasts color challenge today but also to use a newly released set by

Innovative Stamp Creations called Alter It!  The set of 4 also has a distressed ruler that wasn't used on this sample.

The filligree corner was stamped in Baja Breeze on Kraft CS and also on the Spellbinders curved rectangles die.  I sponged

the kraft edges with Tim Holtz Distress/Faded Jeans and the embossed die cut with distress Tea Dye ink.  The key hole

was embossed with Tim Holtz Distress/Tea Dye powder.  The card is finished w/ a vintage key and brads.  Hope you like it!

 

Reflections

  Innovative Stamp Creations has released 2 new sets today.  I am very excited to share with you.  After working way too many hours between Thanksgiving and Christmas, it feels good to sit down and create again.  The other new set is called Alter it and is right up my alley.  Stay tuned.............  Anyway, for this card I used the new stamp called Reflections.  It was stamped on Basic Grey DP and embossed with distress Walnut Stain powder.  There is also a journaling lined stamp to fit inside the circle, perfect for hand writing a note or scrapbook journaling.  I layered it on a rust cardstock and mounted it on dimensionals.  The layer underneath is a piece of coredinations textured CS that was embossed with leafy branch cuttlebug folder and sanded.  The faux stitching was done using the easy stitches template by Paper Pizazz.  The photo corners are from a SU punch and the ribbon and felt ric rac are layered on a strip of chocolate CS.  The Sentiment is from an unknown source from my stash.  Sorry for the lack of posts over the holidays, hopefully I am back to creating, sharing and visiting other blogs.  

 

Merry Christmas

I hope you had a wonderful holiday filled with family, friends and

the joys of the season.  Sorry for the lack of posts and sharing here.

I returned to work after being a stay at home Mom for 10 years this fall.

I forgot how much I missed retail and still look forward to going to work

each day.  The days have been long and quite a blur since Thanksgiving,

but slower days will be coming in January.  I really miss my creative

outlet and sharing here and on Splitcoast & PCP.  Please be patient, I am

itching to get back into sharing regularly and also visiting your wonderful

blogs and uploads.  I know I have missed a lot.

There was a little time this afternoon to finish up a project

that was started last week.  The size is 11" x 6" including the hanger

and the tassle.  The upside down gothic arch is made using thin chipboard

covered with parchment paper stamped with the music background and then

spritzed with distress inks for the aged look.  The edges have sequin stickles

and the top is vintage lace that was sponged with tea dye distress ink.  All images

are available from Innovative Stamp Creations.  Music/Summer Elements, Bird & Branch/

Tranquil and words are from Be Thankful sheet.  The branch was stamped in versamark

on cocoa CS and embossed in distress walnut stain powder.  I overstamped with the branch

and embossed a second time using Tea Dye powder.  The bird was inked with Adirondack

pigment ink/cranberry and then the flowers were stamped in pigment pitch black direct to

the cranberry inked rubber.  The inked bird was then stamped on sand CS and embossed 3

times with clear powder.  I added feathers for the tail and finished the ornament off with a

vintage brad and tassle.   It's back to work for another long day tomorrow, have a wonderful

day after!

ISCC21 Angelic Peace Wall Art

The challenge at Innovative Stamp Creations today

is to use Fragments as your focal. I chose to use the angel image from

Angelic Holidays and the music notes from ChristmasTrinkets and peace on earth

is also from Angelic Holidays.

The stamping on the artist canvas (8" x 8") is a new stamp called Distressed Script. More later,

I don't have time to give you all the details this morning, but will be back to

post them soon.

ATC Recipe Box

I love these ATC die cut boxes & clear vinyl sleeves available from Innovative Stamp Creations.

The challenge at ISC is to create an ATC box with atc recipes enclosed.

My box has Teresa Collins papers that were covered with

contact paper to make it more durable and kitchen friendly.  The

magnetic closure is by Basic Grey and I added the red rhinestone to the

center.  The tags were created by stamping the words in Stazon White ink

on black shrink plastic and then die cut with Spellbinders smallest tag from

the tags trio set.  My little recipe book holds 6 vinyl sleeves bound

with the Bind it All.

When complete, the little book will contain 12 of my favorite holiday recipes.

The ATC box is roomy enough to add an additional book or 2. 

Hmmmm, maybe 1 for sweets & treats and 1 for main dishes and appetizers? 

I love this project for the holidays or for a shower gift using the brides favorite colors.

The snowflakes on the recipe card are from ISC's Christmas Elements Sheet, Treasured/

Fansy Designs Sheet & Recipes/About Me!  Have a wonderful Thursday!
