UR so Cute page

I love when I get things up in the  SB Gallery and today I get

to share one of my favorite pages on my niece and her cousin.

They had a really fun day together at Disneyland and

both of them got their faces painted and I couldn't have

asked for a cuter picture of the two of them! I love the bright

and cheerful papers and they went perfect with their outfits.

For my page you can see it here in the Spellbinders gallery

and it also has directions and a list of supplies to make it.

All the flowers and doilies I Cut/ Embossed from the dies and it's 

great to be able to do custom things whenever I want and

they always match perfect to the project I am doing.

Hope you all are having a really great Monday

and be sure and stop back for more fun inspiration this week!

Stickpin Glitz and Glam Day...

Today I want to share something I had alot of fun doing

this week.  If you don't all know, Spellbinders came out

with these beautiful Media Mixage Stickpins that come in silver and bronze

that you can fill with yummy glitters, metals, beads and anything

else that you might have laying around in your craft rooms.

And i did just that --I raided my old jewelry and got lots of things out

and created all the stickpins that I am going to share with you today.

 These are my fancy ones that I did with old pieces of jewelry 

and jewelry backings and I added some extra Want2Scrap bling on them.

The top right one I used some of the copper metals and filled it

with sprockets, a key and bits of glitter.

These were fun to do because they have

a new paint that you can paint metals with from Deco Art
called Dazzling Metallics paint in 6 gorgeous metal colors

and I cut/embossed the piece inside the turquoise one and
 painted the stickpin and I painted the metal that I cut/embossed inside.
How fun to change the colors right?
The pink one is an old earring and I used pink glitter and glossy accents

that dried really quick.  And the flower I just added on a pin.

 These are all the beautiful Media Mixage Metal Embossing

plates that you can use to create paper embossing magic

on metals like the pin up above. They are just gorgeous.

I really love this set.. I mixed bits of jewelry backings

and seed beads and Stickles on some of them.

Pretty much anything I could find around and

it was really, really fun..

These are some of the things that I used. Spellbinders
Media Mixage Foils and Metal Packs that you can buy

with different colors in them and they also carry the tiny

dies that you can use to cut things out to fit in the bezel

stickpins and and the jewelry too.  It makes it really easy.
To fill the extra space under the dies I used the foam dots.

Lots and lots of fun glittery things from my stash.

Here is a photo of all the stickpins together.

My favorite is the big butterfly and I like the little

metal flowers with the circle centers filled with glitter.

Thanks so much for stopping over and be sure and try some of these 

fun and easy to do stickpins for your cards and boxes and anything

else that you might want to add something pretty to!!

Hugs and Smiles everyone.. Teresa

Thank you card...

I have had so many things to make this week for classes my

week has really went by quicker than normal.  Lots and lots

of things for DT projects and lots of classes coming up.

So today is just a quick post of a Thank you card I made

with some kraft paper that I had and I used one of the 

Spellbinders blossom dies to stamp my little critters from LOTV

with.  The really pretty border edge at the bottom is another

of my favorite dies from the last release called Scalloped Borders Two.

I love them because there are 6 pieces in the set so you can really

mix them up to make some great projects and cards with.

I just used chalks and colored pencils for the pup and the bunny

and I used some flowers and wooden leaves from Prima that I just 

got recently.  The thank you stamp is from Fun Stampers Journey

 stamps... that is a great set too because it has lots of little

tiny sentiments in the set for pretty much anything you do.

So that's it for today but I have some fun things to share Sat

that I think you will really have fun with!

Have a great day,  Teresa

Card Club class for Sept.

It was a really fun 2 days both at Prima and at Scrap N Yap

or our Monthly Card Club Classes.... I am adding more 

wonderful creative girls to the class each month and it's 

lots and lots of fun.... This class we worked on backrounds

 like stenciling with paint, gesso and stamping with new stamp 

Gels from Viva Decor and my favorite Tsukineko inks.  

And we used a new M-Bossabilites folder from Spellbinders. 

 It was a really, really fun 2 days and the cards came out great!!

My next classes are at Scrap N Yap Oct. 4th

and the Prima outlet Oct. 5th from 10-1 so be sure and call them to save

a place or email me too.  I still have a few kits so you can

call Scrap N Yap and get those on Tuesday...  

Next months class we will be making a few Christmas cards

with the new Prima Christmas papers and Thanksgiving and I should 

have those samples posted the end of this week.  

Have a really great

Sunday and enjoy with your families!

Momento Luxe Ink card

I just found my favorite new ink and it works amazing.

It is by Tsukineko and is called Momento Luxe.

It has great color and stamps really clear and comes

in lots and lots of colors.  Couldn't get any better than that!

so I went for my walk the other day and the leaves are

starting to fall so it got me all in the mood to do a new fall

card to share today with you.

This one is super quick and all you need for it

is some fall colored papers and flowers. The papers are from Authentique 

new fall line called Seasons: Autumn.  I used one of the cream sheets

in the 6x6 pad to emboss with Spellbinders ES-006 So Trendy
and the #4 die in Leafy Squares set to make the backround.
  I layered this on pretty pieces of plaid and rusty red printed
cardstock.  I tied a pretty crushed ivory bow and added lots
of pretty fall flowers and leaves to it.

To finish it I Cut/ Embossed a tag from Fancy Framed Tags Two

and I stamped it with the Momento Luxe ink in Rubarb Stalk. Then

I embossed it with clear embossing powder to make it pop. The
stamp I used from an amazing new company that is working
with Spellbinders called Fun Stampers Journey.  If you haven't
tried their stamps be sure and get a few.. They work amazingly good!! 

I really love these colors and so love this time of year

with all the pumpkins, apples picking and other fun

things to do everywhere.  Thanks for stopping over and have

a really great day :)

Crafts N Things Flower Necklace

   

A long time back I got asked to do a necklace with
the new Bezels from Spellbinders in a flower theme
for Crafts N Things Fall Magazine so I created this necklace
in beautiful shades of pinks and antique golds and lots of resin.

I used the matching dies to fit inside the bezels and on the
metal flowers on the sides.  I also added layers of ICE Resin and
bits of glitter and chunky embossing powder in the bezels and wha-la!

You can find the complete supply list and directions in the
Fall Issue of the Crafts N Things magazine and just to
let you all know who havent' tried this kind of thing
it's really easier than it looks and I did have alot of fun making it.

Thanks so much for stopping over,
Hugs... Teresa
