Use product recipe with Tando

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to our Tando recipe week.
This week we were asked to use  one embossing folder, 2 ribbons and 3 gems.
So here is my altered tag with all products on it.
For the tag I used one of TANDO packages'  inside pieces: each Tando product has this packaging " tag" as it's just a perfect product for recycling.
So this " tag" was dry embossed with Sizzix Tim Holtz Postcard embossing folder. Then I decided to add more texture and used Tando Alphabet mask with heavy gel medium for more almost non- seen texture.
Then this tag was painted with DecoArt Mixed Media line paints and highlighted with  gold paint.
Tando new  Rustic Star was painted over and embellished with metal pieces.

The bottom part was embellished with a piece of Tando  Lace effect border and then I added those three gems over it.

The ribbons were added on the top of this altered tag and as your see I made the title as Share Hope. 

So share your own hopes and we all be happy!

To my wonderful Mom card with IBS

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my second May post made for Inspired by Stamping blog.

 This card maybe looks simple, but I actually used my own totally new background technique and I made a small tutorial for you to try it.I called it Faux Lace paper  technique and I think that nobody made something like this before. And if I am wrong, sorry- I didn't find anything  like this on the web.
 So here we go!
1. Make a few doily die cuts from white vellum paper and glue them over one side of double sided glue sheet.

 Glue clear transparency over the upper glue side.

Glue the sheet with the second sticky side to another vellum paper. I used printed with gold script vellum, but is can be colored one or even simple white.

 Now your have a piece of " paper" that is made of transparency,  vellum die cuts over double sided glue sheet and another vellum. Treat it as a cardstock piece: use it as your background, die cut it, color the back  with alcohol inks etc. Try more die cut shapes and more colors inside and outside. I just made the card size background and added it over two more cardstock layers for make this card.

2. Stamp Inspired by Stamping Butterflies with clear embossing ink and heat emboss with four different glitter embossing powders. Hand cut the butterflies and arrange over the card.

3.Stamp Inspired by Stamping Mother's day sentiment -from a retired  stamp set, but I wanted to make a Mother's day card, so I used this stamp- with black permanent ink over white cardstock. Die cut the stitched circle and add to another larger stitched die cut circle as shown.

4. Add some bling string  and a few sequins.

Enjoy your card!

Altered hoop

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new blog post.

This time I made an altered hoop and the most interesting thing here is the background.
 I will do a full tutorial of this one, but just to  say this is totally thin, one layer three layers self made paper lace and I promise to share the technique some day in the future.
I made it just because.
And then I thought that it can be a good project for some web challenges, so I added a few trinkets, some paints and some more embellishments and made it shabby and not so much my style. But them who cares? Who says that we should always stay in our primary style? Not me.

Love card with Makin's Clay

 Also the month of Love (February ) is already gone, I still have a few Love/Valentine cards done and this card is one of them.
This is a kind of Mixed Media without mediums card.
I made dry embossing, stamping with heat embossing and then made this fancy 4 layers heart with Makin's Clay and dies.
The red Makin's Clay was rolled  into #4 setting over the clay machine and when it was dry I made 4 die cuts using old Cuttlebug dies. Then I arranged the heart in 4 layers and covered with glaze.
So if clay and glaze are mediums, this should be called MM card. But them this is a totally clean and simple design. OK, I was a bit out of the box with this card, but I really love it.
The small Love stamp is from Inspired by Stamping.

I enter this card to a few web challenges:

 Simon Says- Feeling touchy- the touch of dry embossing and the glazed touch of clay heart- so different on one card.

Happy Spring with IBS

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my first post for Inspired by Stamping.

Spring is almost here. So the best way to welcome Spring is to make a couple of spring cards. As we are Jewish and don't celebrate Easter, I just used the other sentiment from this totally versatile and gorgeous new IBS set named Easter Bunnies.

 It's not a real tutorial, but I took some photos of a few stages and I think that this is a card to any level of crafter: easy to make with some  watercolors and just a light Mixed Media background.


So here we go:
1. Stamp the Bunnies image over watercolor paper with clear embossing ink and heat emboss with black powder.

2. Color the image with water colors. You can use whatever water colors you own. Lucky me has those Real Brush markers as they are very easy to use.
So after I colored the bunnies I made a free hand cut of the image.
I made another stamped layer of the same image and made 2 layers focal point image using 3d foam glue.
3. The background layer was first dry embossed with Darice folder.Then I added some splashes made with 2 colors of mists and finished it with a couple of stickers' stitches.

4. Stamp the sentiment with black permanent ink and hand cut it as a banner. Color with one of the mists using baby wipe.
Adhere the sentiment as shown.
5. Add a few rhinestones to finish your card.
