These are so much fun to make. I have been collecting vintage buttons for a while and this is the perfect way to use them. I carefully soaked the buttons first then slipped the buttons onto the hairpins and glued them into place with Ultimate glue. The card I placed the pins on is decorated with washi tape by MT and tissue tape by Tim Holtz. I colored the tissue tape with Distress Ink by ranger.
These were fun to make. I painted them with Martha Stewart chalkboard paint and tied raffia around the top.
Tip: Use blue painters tape to keep the chalkboard paint away from the top of the pot.
I found a great seller on Etsy,Larissa Holland of mmmcrafts. Larissa had several wonderful patterns for dolls and also a great pattern for a Gadget Cozy. I have made two so far. This first one I made for an Itouch. It was so much fun and super easy to make. The cozy is decorated with a Tim Holtz Sizzix die cut of a pinecone. I used Stickles and a rhinestone for the center of the flower. The back button is really a brad. Make sure to check out Larissa's Etsy shop mmmcrafts to see all her wonderful patterns.
I always have such a hard time with sympathy cards. I am not sure why. This is one I made awhile back using Memory Box stamps, Distress Stains and Tim Holtz tape.
This is one of the Holiday cards I made this year. I used the holiday Distress Ink combo and Memory Box stamps. The green is Inca Gold by Viva Decor and the background is a Cuttlebug embossing folder.
My holiday card making has begun. This card is an idea for a card to send to my important clients. It may be too detailed and I will have to send it in a box. I guess it makes a statement.
The card was embossed with a Sizzix embossing folder and the tag was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. I cut the pine cone with a Tim Holtz die by Sizzix and colored it with Distress Stains. I used Viva Decor Inka Gold to color the tag along with a little Distess Ink. To make the accent edging on the pine cone I used a Viva Decor Pearl Pen.
I made these two Jewish New Year's cards and then never had a chance to send them. I used Distress Stains to color the cards. The paper is Tim Holtz Kraft Resist.
A few weeks ago I went to a stamp show and got a bunch of rubber stamp sheets from Rubberneckers. This is a card I made using the stamps from the Create A Garden Set. I used Distress Inks by Ranger and the paper is Neenah.
This is a mirror I painted using the new
Martha Stewart Multi Surface Paint and stencils. I am loving this new line of paints and stencils.
Last weekend I experimented making some jewelry. This was made using a plastic blank and image from Darcies. The small charm was from Michaels. The metal blank by Vintaj was embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and then sanded.
I bought this box for a dollar at Michaels then painted it with MS paint. The spider stencil on top is a cake stencil from the MS Halloween collection. The other stencils are self adhesive stencils from MS Holiday Icons II.
I discovered some wonderful new paints from Martha Stewart this weekend at Michaels. They can be used on lots of different surfaces including metal,wood,fabric and glass. The new line of Martha Stewart paints also includes lots of fun tools, stencils and mediums. I bought the fabric medium to make the paint permanent on fabrics. You just add paint to the medium and mix. It is really simple. I decided to stencil on a baby onesie. I used the color Goji Berry in satin finish. The stencils are from the set Fair Isle Dots. After stenciling onto the onesie I ironed the design to heat set.
Last week I went to the stamp show in Rhinebeck, NY and found lots of goodies. I picked up the whole line of distress stains and some glassine paper. This my first attempt. This card uses distress inks and stains.
This card was made from stamps by Memory Box and colored with Copic markers.
