Handcrafted Gold and Silver Gift Box- Happy Craft Dec 2012

December 1 2019

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here with Happy Craft Challenge Blog with the perfect holiday gift box, embellished with silver poinsettias.

I love to recycle found items in my crafting projects. I received a wonderful handmade bar of soap in this paper mache box I used for my project, it still smells of the lovely scent from the soap.

I began by painting my box with gold acrylic paint. While that dried, I fussy cut the poinsettias out, After the box was dry, I adhered the ribbon and arranged the poinsettias, pop dotting them for added dimension. Adding glitter berries, gave the project some "shiny" !!!

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

Steampunk Christmas Tag Flip ScraPerfect 2019

November 26, 2019

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here with ScraPerfect with a one of kind holiday Steampunk tag flip! I am smitten with Steampunk! I love every aspect of steampunk, an era gone by, the industrial feel, and of the ingenuity of the time.

 Speaking of ingenuity, I used ScraPerfects Best Glue Ever, to assemble my tag flip! Wow fast grab, quick-drying and you need so little glue. Perfect for all your crafting needs.

ScraPerfect Shop

I began my project by creating 4 different size tags, use as many tags as you like I had 8 images. I first inked all edges, began laying out my tags in composition form, what, where and dimension or no dimension. I assembled all the tags using my Best Glue Ever. Next, I began the embellishment part of my project. I die cut some cogs and gears, inked some and embellished each tag. I used an ornament hook to string my tags on to finish off my tag flip

The front side of my tags,

Backsides of tags

As for assembly, you can make us of many ways to hold your tag flip together. One could use, a large safety pin, a metal hinged ring, ribbon, or as I have an ornament hook. Have fun with it!

As always Thank You for your kind comments and continued support.

Until next time.......

Santa's Workshop Memory Box TMC4U Nov 15 2019

November 15 2019

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here with TaylorMadeCards4U.   Check Out Santa's Workshop Passport Kit  it has been a delight to work with!

As a child, my Great Grandma lived downtown Akron Ohio, in the Portage Hotel, as she was the live in Interior Decorator. Downtown was home to many wonderful stores, including, Scotts 5 & 10, The Peanut Shoppe and Polsky's. Just to name a few. Every year we would get dressed up with our hats and gloves and dresses, bundle up and walk from my great grandma's to Polsky's to see the wonderful windows that were decked out in the finest Christmas scenes.  Working with Santa's Workshop Passport Kit flooded me with the best memories being with my great grandma, dressing up, having lunch at Scott's 5 & 10 lunch counter. After our day was over, we went back to grandma's and made a memory box, with our tickets, map and receipt from lunch. post cards found at Scott's with photo's of the windows. I decide to do the same with Santa's Worskshop Passport Kit.

PerfectlyCAS SnowFlakes On My Nose And Eyelash's Nov 2019

November 15 2019

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here with Perfectly CAS Challenge Blog with this month project, Christmas. I went a bit rouge and created a Holiday card, I hope you enjoy my creation.

Keeping within the rules of using 1/3 or less of the card, not many embellishments and lots of white/color space, I decided on a non traditional color scheme card.

My card came pre embossed and I jumped off from there, punching out two snowflakes from my scrap bin and added the sentiment stamped in brown.

His & Hers Coffee Cups Home Decor- Coffee Bean Blog Nov 2019

November 11 2019

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here with my project for ,Lady Beans Blog. Lemony Fizz Stamps By Rhoda is our sponsor this month with these two super cute coffee cups!

Oh Boy! Do I ever need my coffee in the morning, LOL, the alarm goes off at 5 am and I stumble through  the house till I find the coffee pot! It seems like forever and a day before my coffee has dripped and I can smell the aroma I am addicted too. LOL

Check out my take on these two cute cups,

I love to use found items in my crafting. I found this block set of 3 that spelled out JOY, I fell in love with them, and as you can see they have worked perfectly for my project. I saved the third for another project.

I used a Tim Holtz die cut, Tattered flowers for her cup and I printed out the digi twice and cut his mustache in brown.

Wouldn't these look cute in your kitchen setting by your coffee maker??

Thank You for visiting and as always I appreciate your kind comments

Stay tuned for more projects using Lemony Fizz Stamps by Rhoda

Wonderful Pleasing Steam Punk Owl Decor-ScraPerfect -Nov2019

November 9 2016

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here with ScraPerfect Blog. I want to share my Steam Pink Winter Owl with you, that I created using The Best Ever Glue from ScraPerfect.

I am fairly new using The Best Glue Ever, and I have to say I am addicted! Dries fast, fast grab, and you need so little glue! Give it try!

I live in Northeast Ohio, November has arrived, although it is not snowing and the sun is shining, the sky has the ever so familiar look of snow and it is chilly. When deciding what to create for my project, I decided on a wintery owl wearing his finest Steam Punk hat and watch!

I love to use found or reclaimed, recycled items in my crafting. I happen to have a block left from a set I bought at my favorite resell shop, that spelled out Joy, with the nicest background. My mind began spinning. I inked the owl in brown and stamped it on a scrap of beige stock. Rounded the corners and inked the edges for added interest to my design. Feeling chilly, I added very small bits of Floral Decor, that looks and feels like tiny bits of broken glass, to the bare tree branches he is perched on, on for a bit of whimsy. I decided I need to lightly ink the edges of the block and then pop dotted my owl on the block. Gold and Beige Baker Twine added just the right touch, using The Best Ever Glue to adhere it to the block. A few punched out snowflakes and die cut cogs and gears, adhered with The Best Ever Glue, finished my project off.

Have you ever tried The Best Ever Glue?? Leave me your thoughts!

Life is Sweet- Happy Craft Nov 2019

November 1 2019

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here with Happy Craft sharing my project using Life is sweet , a digi set which can be found here: Pixel Scrapper, a free site for loads of images! Yep, I said FREE, be sure to check it out!

Our theme this month at Happy Craft Challenge Blog is Sweets! Who doesn't like sweets, I ask!! When I was a kid, there was a small neighborhood general store not far from our home. After earning a little bit of money, doing odd chores, I always made sure I had 15-25 cents to spend at "Pete's". Back then you could get a load of cavity producing penny candy for that amount of money and so my love affair with sweets was born.

I love to recycle items in my projects. Found items can lend so much interest to your project, which I feel is the case with this project. I was at my favorite resell store and came upon a stack of wall hangers that have lovely colors splashed on them and say "It's a party", I was drawn to colors used and decided to buy a handful for .50 cents each. Add a great digi stamp and digi sentiment and punched out circle in coordinating colors and you have a hand crafted one of kind project!

Check it out,  what you think!!

One Of A Kind Circus Ringmaster Hat TMC4U Nov 1 2019

November 1 2019

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here with TaylorMadeCards4U. This month project has been one of my favorite to create as a
member of the inspiration team.

My maternal great grandma ran away and joined the circus when she was 14 years old. She was a costume designer and stayed on with the circus till she get married! I can remember listening to many stories told by my grand grandma, about traveling with the circus. Must be why I love the circus so much!

I began my project by painting the rim of a cardboard ringmaster type top hat. While the paint was drying, I cut out all the the piece from the Passport To Circus kit. and then punched many circles from the scraps remaining from the kit and from my stash. I then began designing my hat.

I used a mache hat that I had in my stash, white glue and a few scraps of paper that matched the color scheme for the circles on the brim of the hat.

Check Out my finished Ring Master Hat!

Didn't the addition of circles to the brim of the hat, just finish it off?? !
