Introducing a New Photopalymer Set.....Bombs Away

Smash Book/Scrap Album

I have been working on an idea I got a while back and am finally taking the time to start the creative process, I had ordered the Designer Series Paper already and just needed to get working. I am still in the process of creating each page but thought that I would share with you what I have so far and give you a glimpse into my space when I am working on a project. Although I have to say i got a little messier than usual with this one.

For the cover I used chipboard and card stock to create the back and front of my album and added Jump rings and ribbon to hold it together. The inside is card stock in the colors that coordinate with my chosen Designer Series Paper Fan Fair #126918.

Over the next few weeks I will share with you the pages as I create them.

I hope you all enjoy!

Sympathy Cards

I recently had a friend call and request an order of a dozen sympathy cards in no particular colors or designs just as long as they were blank-no inside sayings. 

 I am not very good at sympathy cards as I have not had to many reasons to make sympathy cards since becoming a demonstrator. I was definitely a little worried although, not needing to put any sayings on the cards goes a long way towards helping as I only have one sympathy set. It took me about half a day to make these cards as I was a bit stumped on what to do. I think they turned out well and my friend loved them. 

I hope you enjoy!!!!

Technique Swap Pages

Here are the promised photos of my technique page for the technique swap I joined last month. So much work yet I still managed to keep it fun. 

Here are smaller close ups of the actual technique:

Faux Patina

1 light neutral color ink pad 

2 medium colored ink pads 

1 dark colored ink pad 

Embossing Folder of Choice 

Very Vanilla or Whisper White Card Stock 

Metallic colored Embossing powder 

VersaMark ink 

Big Shot, Heat Tool & Embossing Buddy 

1. Lightly cover the front inside top of your Embossing Folder with the lightest color ink of choice, carefully place card stock in embossing folder and run through Big shot. 

2. Lightly sponge the lightest of your medium colors over the embossed card stock, full coverage is not necessary. Repeat with the remaining medium color. You do want good coverage but some patches of no color or base color will add to the patina effect. 

3. Sponge over the top with your dark color to bring out the embossed image and give your piece dimension. 

4. Pat your embossing buddy over the top of your card stock to get rid of the excess ink. You want the piece to be dry so the embossing powder doesn't stick to the entire image. 

5. Dab VersaMark randomly over the top, you can just use the pad direct to image. 

6. Sprinkle your embossing powder over the top and heat to set. 

7. You are now ready to use on your project.

I hope that this inspires you today to create something beautiful.
