Sticker Kitten Creative Team: Introducing Birthday Dinos

Hi all

I have been asked by one of my craft friends Sarah Douglas to make some samples using her brand new paper collection Birthday Dinos. They come in 6x6 at the moment and are printed on very high quality paper. Here is a link to the Etsy store https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/StickerKittenDesign.

Here is my first sample which i made by covering a 6x6 card with half of the green paper and half of the red stripes. I then cut out the butting and glued it in the middle.

I cut the dino and the balloons out of the patterned sheet. I placed them onto a half circle so that they stood out a bit more.

                       I cut some of the sections of bunting out so that they blended in better.

Susan K Weckesser Creative Team: Home ATC Blocks

 Hi all

I am back with another project  using Susan's Unity Co branded stamps. I have used the ATC Blocks from Things to Alter to create this stack-able home decor.

I painted the cubes with DecoArt Crafters Acrylic  but used different colors on the same block.

I used the Tumbleweed Houses and Heart Full Homes stamp sets for the little houses which i colored with alcohol markers 

I stamped the base of the cube with  In Circle Me using the Clearsnap Color Pop Mini inks.

I sued the DecoArt Crackle paint and just painted a few random patches over the cube. I then spritzed with inks and dried it off.

I tried to make each cube different by mixing up the little houses.

Trimcraft Scrapbook Workshop July: Paradise Crush Summer Holiday Layout

Hi all 

I am back with my Scrapbook Workshop for July. You can find the full tutorial over on the Trimcraft blog.

I wanted to create a  layout that reminded me of summer so i used the new First Edition Paradise Crush papers  to create this bright holiday layout.

this is the large shell from the First Edition Beach Die Set. They look great with pearls and flowers stuck to the centers.

This is a close up to show how you can layer the dies and paper flowers together to create unique combinations.

I drew around the Photo Frames so i can add patterned paper to them. They are great for coloring over with inks or just writing onto for journaling.

These are the new Alphabet stickers from our Simply Creative brand. They are very good quality and come in different textures such as chipboard. Foam and Glitter.

Susan K Weckesser Creative Team: Introducing Gone wild

HI all

I wanted to show you the new Gone Wild stamp sett  by Susan K Weckesser today. It's a stamp kit so you get the cute little fox and owl plus lots of little stamps too.

I used the Ken Oliver Color Burst inks to create the background by wetting the card and flicking the powder onto it.

The fox is coloured in with First Edition Marker pens and i cut him out and stuck him down with 3D foam pads

The background was created using a mixture of In Circle Me and A Little Bit Washi stamps.

Gecko Galz Blog Feature and Free Stamp: Sun Moon and Stars ATC

Hi all 

I am back with my blog feature day for the Gecko Galz. I have a mixed media ATC to share using the new Sun,Moon and Stars College sheets.

I started off by spraying water onto the ATC blank and sprinkling Brusho powder over it. I sprayed more water over the top to diffuse the powder. Once dry i mixed a bit more powder but keep the concentration of color strong. I applied the ink to the ATC stamp with a brush and placed the ATC over it and pressed down. I used the Lost Coast Designs Grunge ATC set.

Next i applied DecoArt Crackle paste randomly over the ATC and let it set before painting over with more purple ink. I then mixed white DecoArt Modelling paste with the Ken Oliver Turquoise Color Burst powder and applied it to the ATC using the Stars mini stencil.

Thank you for visiting and here is your free stamp of the month.

Susan K Weckesser Creative Team Home Sweet Home Bunting

                                                                       Hi all

The theme on the My Sweet Earth Blog is Home Sweet Home this month so i have made an inspiring bunting using the Bunny Hugs Stamp Set and a lick of paint.

I started off by giving each piece of bunting three coats of paint to get a nice even amount of color. I alternated the colors so that i did not get two the same together. I then painted the MDF alphabet in black paint.

I then stamped around the edges of each piece with the little stamps that come with the Bunny Hugs Stamp Set. I used a mixture of Black,Sky and Kiss Color :Pop Minis.

I also stamped some of the the little stamps onto smooth card and colored them in with the color pop minis and cut them out. 

I finished them off by adding a few gems and resin flowers.
