Life is beautiful with WOW! powders

This altered project was just a wooden base with a hole that I found at home, a 10 cent kids plastic magnifing glass and a fantastic A2Z Scraplets title (it's the little things). From all of those I made  this lovely altered art piece, but it couldn't  be done withou those gorgeous WOW! Embossing Powders I used over it.

The wooden base was covered with Glitz paper layers . The title was inked, clear embossed with Clear Regular powder , layer after layer to make it glossy and glass look and then I made a random stamping over it.

Wow embossing Copper powder was  the main coverage of the plastic glass. Easy to make : just add some Watermark embossing ink randomly over it , spread the powder and heat it. Nothing happens to plastic, believe me.  Then I added some Tim Holtz Picket fence  crackled paint  over my  embossed Copper powder and Blue embossing powder over it while the paint was still  wet.

The 7 Gypsies silver spoon was colored into the copper color with alcohol inks and I added this Tim Holtz sticker to say that small things Create Life.

The background wings were molded and casted with clear Ice Resim and I added Blue glitter inside the resin casting. The white chipboards from Tando Creative were painted and glittered with Clear glitter  to make the front wings, the bird was also painted  white and heat embossed with White embossing powder , then  painted over it with some blue paint, as well as Prima pink floweer brach. I covered the square base with woodgrain washi tape  and  I added this Glitz Life is Beautiful sticker on the front.
As my final touch the brass owl from Handmade Halo was added for the life wisdom and I also connected a 7 Gypsies charm to the spoon. To keep this title in the right position I used 3 kitchen tooth picks and a lot of hot glue.

All abou time wall deco is in print (for 6 month already...)

I finally got my print issue of Create Vintage January 2013  with my All about time project in it.
I just loive the photo and the styling of this great magazine a lot!
Thanks for a great gift too!

And the second page too

Imagine mini album

My dear grandson Omer  made those studio photos  (Limor Aharon was a  photographer) and they were so great for small vintage style mini album with a lot of stamping. I used a few of my new just delivered stamps from 100 Proof Press, some of them on each  second page and made stickers titles for each one.
So here is a cover: Old Script and Child Looking up stamps. White  ink is Clearsnap Frosty White; black is Ranger Archival  ink and I used it all over this mini album. All stamped images were misted with a mix of Ranger mists and edges were heat embossed with Metallic Copper WOW! Embossing powder.

Nest pages- photo and a few more stamps for this Discover page: Boy Daydreaming, A flock of Crows,   Hot Air balloon, Spring Bouquet.And again- mix of RANGER mists was sprayed over the piece.

Nest couple of pages with Explore: same Old script and Flower girls  stamps

And last couple for Dream: same Old script and Butterfly  boy

I still have 5 more blank page on the back and more photos to add, so to be continued...

Celebrate childhood: GJS Arrow album

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Today I am going to show you my first project made as Genuinely Jane Studios DT member (I made a couple, but it was for product swap with my other teams as I didn't get my DT goodies till now).
So my  wooden mini album today is an Arrow one and I love this shape a lot: so trendy, so easy to cut and to cover with paper, so  easy to make it " any occasion" album.
I made this  mini album with my dear grandson's studio photos and the banners, colors and a cupcake in his hands were  my main inspiration for colors, patterns and embellishments of this mini.

 I used Bo Bunny papers to cover all wooden pages; inked around and used stencils with white gesso  on every front page.
Here is my cover and I tried to keep it as flat as possible and with no success after all. I used this Art stencil from CWS over this cover, added a chipboard banner from Tando Creative covered with washi tapes and some K&Co due cuts.  My title was covered with glitter embossing powder and I added some more small home die cuts and blings.

The back sides of all pages are mostly photos and some washi tapes around.Now you can see the photo colors and banners and cupcake on the photo.

My second page front was stencilled with Artistcellar Seven Jewels stencil with  gesso and misted with Dylusions Lemon Zest  mist.Then I added those chipboard Tando cupcakes covered with Liquid Applique  brown paint and Art Anthology Sorbet Frost paint.A bit of chunky glitter and one red Dew Drop as a cherry were great finish for those cupcakes . The sticker sentiment is from Fancy Pants and is for " sweet" cupcake or other memories.

The second photo is very similar to the first.

My third front page is for " perfect": my grandson is such a perfect little guy.
Here I used CWS Numbers stencil and Calipso Teal Dylusions mist over a dark paper with one single BB 3d sticker as a title of the page.

Another photo was glued on the back.

The last front page: another Artistcellar stencil Flower of Life with Dylusions   Bubblegum pink mist and a chipboard Happy word covered with blue glitter.

So this was my lovely  Arrow mini album.
And if you want to make a very similar one, just go to GJS shop and pick your favorite shape. So easy, so fancy, so much fun to make one.
And for one more day there is 35% sale in the shop!  You need to see to believe as  those prices are  the best for all kinds of mediums, mists, inks ,GJS most gorgeous wooden mini albums and much much more!

Sweet Stamps challenge #118: Anything goes

Hello dear crafty friends! Today is our Anything goes challenge with Sweet Stamps and we are going to show you Sweet Stamps new DIES!
We have 20!! new dies in  this month bundle and you can buy them all with 25% discount as the whole release or just whatever dies you like.
YES, we have our own dies in Sweet Stamps shop!

So as most of those dies are nature and flowers, I made this  flowers card with my favorite color combo: brown, pink and green.

I used American Crafts cardstock as my base and this was my first time to use Cheery Lynn Card makers Rectangle Dies A2  too  and I am very glad I have them finally in my stash.
Then I used 10  different  new dies; Betty's Bloom SweetCuts, Mini Medallion, Pretty Petals,Mini Flower (2 dies),Flutterby #2 (2 dies), Fancy Leaf and 2 of 3 dies from Flower Trio.    Some were cut from Core' dinations Brownie cardstock and some from green leftovers of DCWV. Then I die cut a rectangle from double sided glue sheet,  arranged all my die cuts and added Sweet Stamps Micro Fine Gloden Glitz glitter over the glue. Bingo! It's so delicate and light glittery and so much add on to the plain cardstock I used.
Same glitter was added over the Butterfly  wings (Prima cardstock leftover, really a small piece that had the right colors).
2 more small dies cut flowers were added over my title strip on the bottom of my card and I also added some glitter over Glossy Accents.
I stamped HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY sentiment with Sweet Stamps Brownie Shades ink  spot and added a piece of thin trim between the parts of my card.
My last touch was faux white pen stitching with Uniball and a lot of pearls and rhinestones added over my die cut flowers.

Now it's your turn. Play with our Anything goes challenge with any stamps or products and you can win a nice prize!

My beautiful Mom: she still is...

Today is my dear MOM'S Birthday and she is 79, but still a very clever, elegant young lady. So Happy Birthday dear Mom! Here is my web present to you!
This is my new MM page made with my mom old photo.I made a part of it on the workshop, but I can't do it the same way, so I added much more, like a title, more embellishments, more washi tape, metal charm etc. and made it my own after all.

Then I decided that I need a title (there was no one ) and some more things to add, so I added my Handmade Halo  resin frame, bird cage charm,  Beaded trim and a chipboard Beautiful title .

Now, with my title, I like this page more.
 I enter this to Get Creative lots of flowers
