Thanksgiving tags

I got the clothing labels (those attached to new dresses) and I used them to make some "Thanksgiving tags".

First, I covered the labels with Distress Crackle Paint (Picket Fence - by Ranger). Then I used the Shimmerz to create the horizontal lines and to color the edges of the tags. The tags colors are: Fire Engine Red , Aqua Marine and Key Lime Shimmerz.

I stamped one black swirl on the "new" background, on which I applied a Petaloo flower. I colored the white original flower with Tickle-Met-Turquoise, Sunny and Sugar Plum Shimmerz.

I hope I give you a nice idea to recycle your labels.

Have a great day with creativity!

Handmade

My sweet mom decided to take up sewing a few years ago so that she could make clothes for my girls.  She went out and bought a fancy machine and took sewing lessons, and since then she has made many beautiful dresses and skirts for my daughters.  This layout features a picture of my daughters wearing the first dresses Grandma made for them.  

I cut out a dressform shape and used it as a mask with Red-Y-Or-Not Shimmerz Vibez.  I outlined my masked and "Vibez'd" dressform with a little Stickles.  It was the perfect spot for my journaling:

The papers are by Cosmo Cricket, and I cut the dressform shape from a sheet of Prima canvas.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Heart & Chains

How about closing the month of love with this project? What a good idea!!!

The hearts are cut out from the canvas.

First I glued on the canvas some newspaper clippings with gel medium then I stamped the hearts and the word "LOVE" using red and black colors.

I used the gold film to emphasize some hearts.

In order to make the background bright I sprayed all over the canvas with Red-Y or not Vibez.

I got the drops of color spraying Red-Y or not Vibez, very close to the canvas, and then I added a drop of Shimmerz Pearlz Pearl.

I cut out hearts from canvas and I sewed them with black thread.

I linked hearts with chains and I added the red pearls sprayed with Red-Y or not Vibez.

This is the canvas after having cut out the hearts.


Have a great day with creativity!

Stamping with Shimmerz

I have been using these large background rubber stamps for my cards lately. I spray the stamps with Shimmerz Spritz and I wanted to show you how I do that.
These stamps are large enough to cover a standard size card. Spray the stamp with Red-y or Not Shimmerz Vibez. Lay the card on top of the stamp and rub with your hand. I like to do it this way because I can see where I position the paper, especially here where there are straight lines.
This is what it looks like after you remove the paper.
For the second layer I used patterned paper and stamped it with the same stamp two times. Once using Licorice Shimmerz Spritz and then with Red-y or not Shimmerz Vibez.
The next two cards are done the same way. I used Sea Foam Shimmerz Spritz for both mixed with a little Licorice Shimmerz Spritz. Once I have the stamp out I spray and stamp several pieces at once, that way I have something to use later and it is dry and ready to go.

{ Layering Shimmerz and Vibez }

I played with my favorite Vibez and Shimmerz: Red-y Or Not Vibez, Rusty Bottom Vibez and Ruby Shimmerz Spritz.

I stamped the card base with music notes stamp. I heat embossed large polka dots with clear embossing powder over that. I sprayed the background with Ruby Shimmerz Spritz, first, then Red-y Or Not and Rusty Bottom Vibez. I used a towel to wipe over the embossed area, to "clean it up" so that the polka dots show up really well.
I made my little flower out of old book paper. You can visit my tutorial if you would like to know how I make these. I sprayed the flower with Licorice and Ruby Shimmerz Spritz and Red-y Or Not Vibez. Like my tutorial says, I use a heat tool to dry the flower, it heat sets it and the flower keeps the shape. I painted the edges with Pearl Shimmerz Pearlz.

The sun finally came out and I was able to capture the shimmer.
