A Perfect Time To Craft Challenge Blog: Charlies Stamps July 1 2019

July 1 2019


Welcome Back Friends,

I am so excited to announce that I am now a member of  A Perfect Time To Craft Challenge Blog!

This is my first post with A Perfect Time To Craft Challenge Blog as a design team member !!          https://aperfecttimetocraft.blogspot.com/

Be sure to click on the link to the challenge blog, it is filled with fabulous inspiration and be sure to enter a challenge or two for a chance to win some great prizes!

I enjoyed my wonderful chance to work with a digi stamp from Charlie's Stamps, which can be found here:
Charlie's Stamps Etsy Store:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/623756208/cute-digistamp-dragon-cute-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_26  is the link for the stamp I used, Cute Dragon.

And here is my project!

I began by coloring my dragons, I used my favorite colored pencils, Reffine by Marco, and fussy cut them out. I then cut all the pieces needed for my box card out using the die cut set from Lawn Fawn.  I run the gray pieces of stock through my big shot inside of a embossing folder to get the brick look. I then punched a piece of green scrap for my grass. That just left the fun part,  putting it all together!

Thank You for visiting and as always, I appreciate your kind comments and continued support.

Until next time......

Creating With Infinity Engraving Steampunk Mermaid Junk Journal June 28 2019

June 28 2019

Welcome Back Friends,

Summer has arrived in Northeast Ohio, it is blistering hot and humid today, such a perfect day to be at the beach, soaking up the sun, water, and hoping for some relief!

I can remember vacations in Florida ,where my Mom's family is all settled. Lots of trip to the ocean and beach, sand in my hair and lots of sun, cool breezes and the taste of salt on my lips. Hunting for sea shells and always hoping for a glimpse of dolphins and maybe even a mermaid!!

My memories of the beach came in handy as I was creating my  Steampunk Mermaid Junk Journal, with the fantastic chip board steampunk mermaid from Infinity Engraving, which can be found here:

I used a cracker box for the base of junk journal, taking care when cutting off the top and bottom flaps and the right side panel.

I covered the front, spine and back, with pattern paper creating the cover for my journal. I then used some very pretty tissue paper I had saved, never throw anything away, but tearing the right edge of the tissue paper, taking care when you adhere it down, to remove any wrinkles. I then inked the edges using Tim Holtz Distress Ink- Walnut Stain. Set aside to dry.

I then went to work on my chip board steampunk mermaid by inking all the edges using Walnut Stain Ink. I applied the ink heavier as I got towards her waist and fin, to highlight all the intricate detail, taking care to ink her tail edges,

I used Tim Holtz  Cracked Pistachio Distress ink on the cogs and gear body jewelry and top tail detail. I also gave all the cogs and gears a good inking with the same ink.

Now the fun part, parting it  all together! I laid out my pieces and moved them around until I was happy with how the cover looked, then adhered them down with glue.

I used a simple binding method to bind my pages to the book cover, using a cog and cotton string.

As always, I appreciate your support and kind comments!


Until next time...........

Creating With Infinity Engraving Arrows Released May 27 2019

June 4 2019

Welcome Back Friends,

Have I got a grunge project for you today! I had the wonderful opportunity to work with the chip board arrows from Infinity Engraving, which can be found here: https://etsy.me/2DX5Cpt.

I started out by making a box card,adding pattern paper to all the panels. I  then cover the arrows in matching pattern paper. After the glue was dried, I added more grunge by stamping on the arrows using a couple different scribble stamps and black ink. I then added the arrows to the card and the sentiment "Watts Up" !

Infinity Engraving has a wonderful selection of chip board designs ready to be painted, papered, and stamped. Be sure to visit their Etsy shop:https://etsy.me/2DX5Cpt and use coupon code:
