How To Create A Stunning Summer Shaker Card

Hi all

Today i have a fun summer themed shaker card to share today. The papers are from the Summer Feelings collect avalible from Cherish the memory.

Start off by covering a 6 x6 card with blue paper and then half the card with the wood effect paper.

To create the shaker box you just need a set of nesting dies. Choose the size you want the box to be and pop the smaller nesting die inside the larger one to make a frame. Cut out two frames from paper and craft foam. If the craft foam is a distracting colour you can paint over it with acrylic paint.

Next cut out a sheet of pattetened paper for the base using the largest die and again out of acetate for the window.

Glue the craft foam frame to the base and leave to dry before adding micro beads and glitter shapes.

Seal the bax with the acetate top and once that has dried, add the frame cut from pattetened paper.

Adhere the bix to the catd and then glue cheese cloth around it like a frame.

Add micro beads, craft stones and die cuts around the cheese cloth frame.

You can leave the chese cloth as it is or dab blue ink over it to add a bit of colour. I used watered down acrylic paint on mine.

Mixed Media Art Journal The Beginning

Hi all 

I have a new art journal to show you and i have included a tutorial too. I have been spending time developing my mixed media style and i am going towards bright and grungy which is going to be interesting.

I started off by applying texture using stencils and modelling paste which i applied around the edges. I then painted the whole page with white gesso and added bits of dry wall tape. You need to add more gesso over the tape as it is smooth.

Next i painted the pages over with Crafters Acrylics starting with Oatmeal and then building up the paint layers using Early Spring green and Island Blue. I blended the colours together and then spritzing misting ink over. I applied some with a brush to get darker patches of ink.

I then used the Kaisercraft Edge stamps to build up a boarder and added texture around the edges.

I used the Kaisercraft 36 stamp to build texture up starting from the top corner

I stamped the skull onto the page first as a place mark and to get the details on the page that would be lost in the next step. I stamped the skull onto white card and cut it out before adhering it to the card and added some cogs.

I highlighted the stencils by dry brushing paint over them and the dry tape.

I finished the layout off by stamping my quote out onto card first and then cutting the words out. I did this so i didn't accidentally smudge them words on the page.

The Crafter's Palette DT DecoArt Madness Mixed Media Card

                                                                      Hi all

I am back with another blog post and tutorial for The Crafter's Palette DT. The theme is to create a project with a Favorite DecoArt  technique so i have used lots of mixed media layers.

I started off with a 6 x 6 card blank and used the DecoArt  12 x 12 Fish Tail stencil with white modeling paste and covered the whole card with the pattern. Once dry i used Very Berry Crafters Acrylic an added a little water to the paint before covering the whole card.

I then cut a 4 cm x 10 cm rectangle from Kaisercraft Ma Cherie Paper and glued it to the card before going over the top of the first layer with the Pixleated mask. I then used a blending tool and dabbed over the top with Tim Holtz Rusty Hinge ink. I then cut a strip off music sheet paper from the Ma Cherie paper and adhered it to the center of the first layer. I then cut a strip of white tissue paper and used a paint brush to paint Magenta Media Mister over it and glued it in place. I then added a bit of the tape measure washi tape over the top.

I then used the chipboard shapes from the Prima Rossibelle  kit and the die cuts from the Kaisercraft Ma Cherie Kit . Which i layered up in the center of the card.

I inked around the edges of the letters to create a sentiment and added them to the center of the card.  I took a few white paper flowers and inked them using DecoArt  Magenta Media Mister and dribble white paint over the top.

I finished the card off with a few sequins and chipboard shapes. I created a bow with the pink distressed ribbon and added a flower to the center.

Take a tag die-cut and slot it at the top of the photo, Spritz a few white paper flowers with magenta mister and adhere in clusters around page. Add a few Butterflies with pearls in the centers.

Cut the strip off the bottom of the 12 x 12 sheet and use the patterned side to create a few paper ribbons. Adhere these to top and bottom of page.
