One day of my own life movie

Visible Image Friday: Time Flies

Hello, my dear crafty friends! Today is Friday and it's my VISIBLE IMAGE new project here for you to see.
This time I  made this altered triple arch with the most gorgeous stamp set from Visible Image: Time After Time set

The outer arch shape (Tando Creative) was painted with Tim Holtz green crackled paint and then covered with Clear embossing ink over the edges and heat embossed with Wow embossing powders Copper powder. The same powder was used for all embossed and cut parts over this project.
 The background chipboard was covered with white cardstock and I stamped Brick Wall stamp on each part of the arch with Clear embossing ink and heat embossed with White powder. Then I added Numbers stamp from the same set and stamped parts of pocket small watch on the top. The colors were Ranger mists sprayed randomly over the piece.

The big watch, wings and my Time Flies title were stamped separately, heat embossed, cut out and misted to get this rich turquoise  color. I also added a bit of mist over my flowers cluster (Iamroses flowers). Last touch was this recycle gold chain and some twines.

Hope you got some inspiration from this piece and now jump to Visible Image shop to get you some great and non expensive stamps. New releases are just arrived ! See you next Friday with more Visible Image inspiration!

Visible Image Friday: Make your own wrapping paper

Hello, my dear Visible Image friends! Today is a new Friday and my new Visible Image post.
For today I decided to show you how to make your own wrapping  paper, using a plain white cardstock, some gorgeous Visible Image stamps, clear embossing and white pigmented inks and a lot of embossing powders.

So first I stamped some background stamps in kind of a grid (don't try to be too perfect, we are going to cover some of those stamped images after all). I used Chequered Background, Harlequin Background, Grunge Polka Dot  Background and Music Background  stamping white on  white and embossing them with white embossing powder.

Then I stamped Bronte Border  with clear embossing ink and embossed with pastel delicate powders. The last stamp used here was this gorgeous Butterfly Large stamp and I used peach powder. I decided to leave it in white, also if you like to make it more shabby or vintage you can add some mists or distress inks.
Then I wrapped my gift box, added some lace and stamped another butterfly, using different powders to be over the bow. As this box is pretty small, I decided not to add more embellishments, but some paper cords, blings and pins only as I wanted this stamped background be seen.

Inkido DT call

For a very long time I didn't try any new DT calls , but this call from Inkido was offered to me by my dear FB friend Belladeia and I think that it can be  a perfect fit for my skills and my style. So as they asked to make a post with my most favorite project  , here it is (most favorite in  a style that fits their products, not some clean and simple project even if it's pretty).
So here we go- my shabby/vintage style most favorite projects for this call.

 

I sure can show much more in this style, but I think this collection gives a clue about my crafting and style and I relaly hope they love it a bit.All of them are kind of Mixed Media projects with die cutting, using chipboards, stamping, painting and  highly embellishing.
Thanks for looking and cross my fingers for this call!

Visible Image Friday: Best Dad

Hello, my dear Visible Image Friends! Today is Friday and this is my new masculine card made with 3 best ever Visible Image stamps.
I stamped Chequered  background on the basic Kraft cardstock and them heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Then I added some road washi tape and stamped over it with Bronte Border  stamp in black.
The Vintage car stamp was stamped with black pigmented ink, embossed with Black embossing powder and the cut and glued with 3d glue. The arrow was punched and I added Prima fabric letters to make the sentiment. Very simple to make and still very elegant  in this manly vintage stile.

Next year on a new, but very similar DT: Hello WOW UK

After a wonderful year on Wow Embossing powders USA with Suzy West and all girls, I was aksed to join the main UK team. So for the next year I will be designing for Wow Embossing Powders UK/Global.
See you there!

Faux Leather background tutorial

Hello. my dear crafting  friends! Today I am going to show you my second simple background tutorial, ATC size again. But as you can see it can be done for cards or even for scrapbooking pages.
So here we go again:
1. Cover your ATC with white paper bandage (you can buy it for pennies in every drugstore). Tear small pieces and cover it totally randomly.

2. Ink the covered piece with any brown ink, but use the permanent one as we will use embossing powder over it and we don't want to heat emboss all piece, but some small areas.I used Terra Cotta mist and it's a permanent one when dry.

3. Now add Clear embossing powder over the inked piece and heat emboss it. Your faux leather background is done.

Make some stamping over it, add some embellishments and enjoy your ATC. It's totally impossible to stamp over this background, even with solvent inks, so I glued my stamped image over the background and again I used the same most gorgeous Paris stamp set.

Faux brick wall tutorial

Hello, my dear stamping friends! Today I am going to show you a my new tutorial  : handmade simple backgrounds you can do in no time and with minimum crafts supplies. I made them all ATC size, but as you understand, it can be done for cards and even for scrapbooking pages. Same technique, just bigger.


The first one is a faux brick wall made with simple office stickers , clear ink and some embossing powder.

1. Pick your ATC base. Cut some large printable office stickers to small" brick size" pieces and adhere them as a brick wall over your ATC. Those stickers are non permanent and that's what we are looking here.

Ink your stickers with Clear embossing ink and heat emboss with any colored embossing powder. Let it dry.

2. Peel all stickers and here is your lovely handmade brick wall.

If you want to color your bricks- mist them a bit over the cardstock and let it dry.

3. Add some stamping,collage some embellishment and your ATC is done.

I used Paris Inspired by Stamping set and it's hard to stamp over this background I just made some stamped highlights and then added the stamped clock with glue over my art piece.Also as the color was too mute, I added some blue mists all around to get this blue look of this ATC.

Inspired by Stamping Blog hop: Most Favorite stamps

Hello, my dear stamping friends! Today Inspired by Stamping DT girls hop with you to showcase our most favorite IBS stamps. If you came from Deb's blog- you are on the right path. And if not- go  to the list  on the bottom of this post and just begin the hop as you can win some gorgeous goodies too!
 I have a lot of most faves , but for this project I decided to pick 2 sets and one " add on" and I made this one 12*12'' cardstock mini book I made a couple of years ago and it's still my most seen blog post since.
So if you want to try this mini- here is my own tutorial and as you can see this can be an hour project to make as a last minute Holidays gift.
So here is my mini  closed photo: I used Scrap Cake papers, Tando Creative star covered with Wow Embossing Powders all over, Handmade Halo resin   nest and Inspired by Stamping sentiment stamped With 2 stamps from Mason Jars Add- on 2  set .The adhesive lace is from IBS shop and there are much more trims, tapes and embellishments there - just scroll and buy!

The star close up

Now we begin to unfold the mini. Here is the first unfolded photo

The stamp set I used all over this mini is  Vintage Postcards set and Inspired Sentiments set all together. And here is a close up to the first postcard.

Now the second unfold. You still can see the upper photo, but another postcard and new photo are already shown.

And the last unfold: the middle postcard is still shown, but you can see one more and 2 more new photos.

Hope you liked my mini project and our gorgeous Inspired by Stamping sets.

And as this set was already on my craft table. I made a couple of very clean and simple  cards, but I think they are cute and useful.
The first one was kind of difficult to make a good photo, as it's all white. I used IBS red dotted tape and one single sentiment for this card.

For my second CAS card I used an embellishment set from Handmade Halo and the same sentiment from my mini.
