Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Saturday: Moments Canvas

Happy Saturday all!  Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!  Today, I have a fun canvas to share which I had made for my mom for Mother's Day last weekend!

Here it is...

I don't really have a chance to make layouts very often although I do love making them!  And of course they make fantastic gifts too!   For my project,  I started off with a blank white canvas which I painted with some Martha Stewart acrylic paint in "Sea Glass".  I added some Prima paper on top and distressed the edges along with the picture with my Tim Holtz distress tool.   Now the fun part is adding all the embellies.   I added some fabric trim, some Prima trinkets and lots of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers.   I think my favorite piece is the little cupid angel at the top corner! :)  I also used a couple of bottles of my Tattered Angels glimmer mist to splatter bits of color all over the layout.  It's a little hard to see in the photo but I thought it came out pretty cool!  

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Sunshine - Prima Marketing

Trinkets and Embellishments - Prima Marketing

Glimmer Mist - Tattered Angels

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Distress Tool - Tim Holtz

Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts 

Sea Glass - Martha Stewart

Hope you enjoyed my project!   Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Loves Rubberstamps Saturday Inspiration: Vintage tags using distress inks

Hi Friends and Happy Saturday!!! I have something a little different from my usual card to share with you all today!

Here are some vintage tags I've made using my distress inks...

So when I first started making cards, my style was very much different from how I create today.  I would say it was more of a vintage grunge style.  I definitely couldn't do without my distress inks and I loved to layer and use flowers in everything I made.  Now with distress inks as popular as ever as well as stencils, pastes, sprays, water coloring, background stamps etc..., I've been having so much fun creating different backgrounds with all of my art media supplies! I also love layering whenever I have a chance which is perfect with these types of projects! 

Here are the supplies used:

Victorian Velvet - Tim Holtz distress ink

Spun Sugar - Tim Holtz distress ink

Vintage Photo - Tim Holtz distress ink

Dried Marigold - Tim Holtz distress ink

Black Soot - Tim Holtz distress ink

Butterfly punch - Martha Stewart 

Black Sparkling Embossing Powder - Ranger

Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad - Tsukineko

Black Tuxedo - Memento Ink

Multi- Medium Matte glue - Ranger

Multi Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts

Hope this gives you some inspiration to get grungy with your inks!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Hugs,

Marcy

Loves Rubberstamps Saturday Inspiration: A Sun Kissed Canvas

If you're looking for my post for The Greeting Farm July Preview Day #2, please go here!

Hi Friends!  I hope everyone is having a great weekend!  I've been under the weather this week and have a few cards in the making but thought I'd share another canvas with you for my Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Day.

Here it is...

This is one of my favorite pictures of my son, Ethan, taken a few years back!  I knew the minute I saw this picture, I wanted to do a layout of some sort with it.  I had some extra canvases so ended up altering one of them.  After coloring up the base with some sage green acrylic paint, I again kept it pretty simple since the papers I used are so pretty already.  This older paper collection is from  Prima called "Sunkiss" and is still one of my favorites.   I embellished my canvas with goodies in my stash including some burlap, a small wooden chipboard frame from Michaels, some Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and a Tim Holtz ticket stub which says "Adore".  On my roses,  I also added a bit of gold stickles around the edges to tie in with the colors and give them more sparkle!   I was out of my sculpting paste but may add a little bit of stenciling later since I love that mixed media look. 

Here are the Supplies Used:

Sunkiss - Prima

Wild Orchid Craft flowers

Tim Holtz embellishment

Pumice Stone - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Be sure to stop by the Loves Rubberstamps store to see the items used in my project!  Tomorrow we have the "Sensational Blog Hop" so be sure to come back to visit!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge: A sweet altered recipe book for a sweet friend featuring "Sugar n' Spice" Marci

Hello and welcome to the Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge! 

Hope everyone is having a great week!  This week starts the normal work and school week for our household.  Vacation is over and now I have my true test of the resolutions I made to be more organized and less stressed! LOL  Wish me luck!!!

So this week we have the favorite "Anything Goes"!!!

Our wonderful sponsor for this week's challenge is The Cutting Cafe!

   

Here is my project...

So if you are wondering what this is, it is actually a recipe book I picked up on clearance at Michaels over a year ago!  A bestie of mine has started a cake pop business and I've been wanting to make her something special to use for her new venture! I already liked the colors on the cover of the book itself so I just altered it a bit using the same color combo and added cute "Sugar n' Spice Marci" by La La Land Crafts.  I colored up Marci with my Copic markers and added some glitter to her cupcake. I also added my new favorite  Die-Namics Open Scallop Doily Die by MFT behind her.  The paper collection I used is called "Handmade with Love" by  Carta Bella.  Such a fun collection to use for this theme! I actually used stickers for the name of her business and punched them out using a circle punch.  My embellishments include some Prima flowers, teal shabby chic trim and lots of bling! :) 

Here's an up close look at Marci...

Here's a view of the inside. I did switch out the original folders and added my own with the designer papers. I also added some personalized tabs which I thought would pertain more to her new business as well as some cute stickers from the collection...

Here are some other supplies used on my project:

Victorian Velvet-Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Mono Multi-Liquid Glue-Tombow

Black Tuxedo-Memento 

Flowers//Bling-Prima Marketing

Please check out the Loves Rubberstamps store to see supplies used on my project.  Also, check out the Loves Rubberstamps Challenge blog to see what other  projects the rest of the Design Team made.  If you want to join this fun challenge, I'll post the details below and you could have a chance to win some great prizes form the store!

Hope you all like my altered recipe book! I hope my friend also likes it as it will be part of her birthday present!  Have a wonderful week and thanks so much for stopping by to visit! :)

Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge featuring The Greeting Farm "Sweet n Toxic"

Hello and welcome to the Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge!  Our challenge this week is TRICK OR TREAT.  You can create a "TRICK" = Create a Moving Card or some element of your card that is moveable OR a "TREAT" = Make a Halloween Treat Holder.

Our wonderful sponsor for this week's challenge is Eureka Stamps!!

 

So since I love sweets, I went with the "Treat" and here is my project...

This is a treat bag I made using some envelopes from Recollections.  I often use their corrugated cards as a base.  However, since my embellies are so dimensional, I can't fit them into the envelopes they come with.   So I found this brilliant idea on You tube.  This idea was created by Yolanda who is SoCrafty100 on You Tube.  You can find her tutorial here.  She has beautiful creations using these envelopes and so does Bona who is LiveLoveScrap on YT.  You can check out her channel to see the creations she has made.  I was so thrilled to find this clever idea and have since been seeing a bunch of gorgeous projects out there.  I just had to join in on the fun!  Thank you so much Yolanda and Bona for for your shares!!! :)  Now my treat bag has many details but the star of this project is the cute gal from The Greeting Farm's "Sweet n Toxic"set.   I just think she is the cutest thing and I love those skulls in her hair!  She is so perfect for Halloween! I colored her up with my copics and cut her out. The paper collection I used is called "Wicked" by My Mind's Eye and I used many of the fun cutouts in this collection.  I have some fun creepy hands on the side, some little spiders and of course I had to throw in some cobwebs!  On the top, I added a Halloween fence which I made using a Martha Stewart punch I have. I glossy accented it which looks pretty cool.  I added some black trims I had in my stash also and then filled it with some candies. Don't you love the RIP lollipop?!  I also covered a Hershey's chocolate bar with the design paper too.

So I have more pics to show you and I apologize that I have so many on this post.  However,  there are a lot of details on this project and I really wanted to share it with you all!  So here we go....
