Quick Quotes Altered Canvas Mini

Hello out there!  It has been a while since my last post, so it's time to share a project with you.  This one was very special.  My niece lost a very dear friend and had very few photos of him, so I put together this little canvas kit from Quick Quotes for her to look at whenever she was missing her friend.

All the chipboard pieces (in silver) were inked up with Silver Metallic Stazon.  After the ink was dry, Tim Holtz Fabulous Flourishes stamps were used on the page tabs and black metallic paper was placed behind the cut-out letters.  The chipboard photo frames were done in the same technique, using a  stamp from Hot Off The Press, Artful Collection. A close-up is below.

The entire project was inked with Quick Quotes Midnight Confession Powder Puff Chalking Ink.

Teresa Collins Christmas Cottage

Hello Bloggers!  It has been a very busy month for this blogger!  I have only had one weekend off in the past six weeks!  Yikes!  But I did manage to get in some crafting because one of my weekends was a girlfriend's getaway!  Yeah!  (Missed you, Nette!)

So, let's get started:  First up, a design team layout project for The Scrapbooking Studio in Bloomington.

 The thought process behind this layout was to create a Christmas gift with the Striped POW! glitter paper as the "ribbon."  The 'bow' is a layered die cut flower from the line which was curled with a dry-embossing stylus.  A TC Fabrications brad finished off the center and on the tag.

The flower and the banners were spritzed with Mr. Huey's mist to give them some sheen.  The sticker and die cut sheets were pieced to make the title on the gift tag, with journaling on the back.

The next layout has stickers, chipboard, die cuts, Prima flowers, pleated ribbon, hidden journaling and lots of layers and Stickles!

The flower grouping...

This flower was handmade from pleated velvet and organza ribbon, centered with a TC jewel from the line.

Some of the die-cuts and chipboard...

Cool hexagon stickers, too!

Tag with 7gypsies Trousseau

Hello all !  Back on the blog today for The Scrapbooking Studio in Moline, IL!
This is another project made with the 7gypsies Trousseau Collection.

The project begins with a manila tag.  Distress Inks in Victorian Velvet, Broken China and Pumice Stone were blended onto the tag.  Stamps from Tim Holtz 'Urban Chic' and 'Going Somewhere' were added to the tag by swiping a Vintage Photo ink pad across the stamps a few times, so that the image would be light.  The next step was using perfect medium to stamp the "it's the little things..." from the Tim Holtz Good Thoughts stamp set.  Blue Smoke Perfect Pearls was then added ~ loved the sheen on the finished product!

A pen nib and Victorian Velvet Distress Ink were used to color in the dress on the sticker.  The flowers and leaves on the tag envelope were fussy cut with an exacto knife, then the photo sticker was tucked under.  Sequin Glitz Stickles was added to the flower centers.  A few more stickers from the sticker sheet were added to the tag envelope.  The pearl strands were glued onto the tag and the envelope was attached with foam dots.  The Tim Holtz Lavish Trimming was colored with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink and added to the tag.  The flower is handmade from the 7g patterned paper ~ each loop was individually curled to achieve the look.

To make the ribbon a lighter color, Victorian Velvet was rubbed onto a craft sheet, then sprayed with water and dried with a heat tool.  After it was dry, Broken China was tapped lightly onto the scrunched ribbon.  A Tim Holtz Type Charm and Bauble were looped through the ribbon with jump rings.  The bauble was "dyed" with Adirondack Wild Plum Alcohol Ink.

I hope this Inspires you to make a tag of your own!  Thanks for stopping by the blog today!  Be sure to stop by The Scrapbooking Studio to get your 7gypsies supplies today!  Be Inspired!  Jules

7gypsies Trousseau Photo Box

Hello everyone!  I am back today with a post for The Scrapbooking Studio in Moline, IL!  The projects designed this month are from the 7gypsies line, Trousseau Collection.  The papers are so vintage and just my style!

My altered project for August is this little photo box, made with 7g book covers.  You can see the front cover peeking out from behind the little envelope stuffed with more 7g goodness!  There is a journal card, two tag envelopes, a charm and a few stickers from the sticker sheet.  And how about that crochet lace trim at the bottom.  It is just gorgeous!

This is another front shot, showing the photo tags which fit inside.  They are 5 x 7, so full size photos will fit on them!

 A closeup of the handmade loopy flowers, tulle, a triple-loop bow and Maya Road Clocks...

For the tag pocket it the center, an adorable sticker was backed with kraft cardstock and mounted on the pocket.  The little girls in the photo are holding hands, so I added "a hand to hold" phrase from the sticker sheet.  Three tags were punched to insert into the envelope.  The center tag has a 7g charm attached.

The photos placed on the tags are actual vintage photos of my ancestors and other family!

 Patterned paper was added to each tag, with varying enhancements, like the vellum photo corners below...

for the tabs on the tags, a scallop circle of patterned paper was added to a kraft circle, folded in half and stapled to the tag.  Tattered Angels Pashmina Glimmer mist was used to color the tulle 'ribbons' accenting the tag tops.

This is a really cool photo of my great grandmother.  It is a post card she mailed to a family member in the early 1900's ~ I cannot read the date, but she passed in 1918, so it is nearly 100 years old!  So that the back of the post card can be seen, it was attached with a 'hinge' of patterned paper.
