ON Vacation! See you back here July 13th

Bingo Card

Here's another Bingo card done with crackle Paint. The black flower transparency is from Prickley Pear.

Crackle Paint and Bingo Card

I decided to try my new Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint. I slapped some on an old bingo card I had laying around. The results were pretty cool.

Transparency ATC's

These are some of the new, Beautiful transparencies from Prickley Pear! The girls are adorable. This technique is so simple. Run the ATC sized transparency thru a Zyron. On the sticky side, I used shimmer chalk with little pom poms. When all areas were covered with chalk, I used Scrapbook adhesive spray to attach it to a piece of black cardstock. The results are stunning!
It's worth a try!

Little Lovelies ATC Set

This is something quick and easy for ATC making. The backs are playing cards. Collage sheets are from Altered Pages.

An Ice Cream Girl for You!

I used the little girl from the ice cream set. (The Angel Company) She was colored with Copic Markers. I added a touch of glitter on her bow and ice cream.

Beach Beauties Magnet Set

The photo doesn't do these gals justice. Using the back side of flattened bottle caps, I added tiny beads to the outside ring. Next I used a 1 inch circle punch on my collage sheets from Altered Pages. I glued the beauties in the center, added a rhinestone flower or gem and covered with a thin coating of Diamond Glaze. After all was dry, I glued a circle magnet on the back.

Where does the time go?

It must just Flutter By! This card is from one of our Glitter Gals Wed. A.M. Stamp Class. The butterfly is actually a sticker.

Have you ever seen such a goofy bunch?

This is the Glitter Gals Stamping Group I have belonged to for years. You can probably tell that we have a lot of fun and don't take ourselves too seriously.

Happy Birthday to me!!!!

Think Monday Think ATC: Foil

This weeks theme for TMTA was a great technique using clear acetate and tin foil! I used alcohol inks on the acetate, flipped it over and stamped with Staz On. Next I tore a page from an old book and put a partial strip on the alcohol inked side. ( I just used a glue stick) Lastly, I crumpled a piece of tin foil and glued my acetate stamped piece to it. The results are quite fun. For a video and instructions on this technique, go to tmta.wordpress.com . The video in not in English but easy to follow. There are also written directions in English.

New Iris Folding Stamps!

Iris folding has never been easier with these great stamps from Stamp N Plus Scrap N.

Owner LuAnn Hale has made some fabulous new designs including beautiful dresses, scrapbook frames and holidays. The stamp has all the lines and details of where to fold. I have never done iris folding before and am having a great time with this stamp line.

Springtime Friend

The cute little bunny and quote are from Stamp N Plus Scrap N.

Crayon Tulips

Using my craft iron, (I covered it in tinfoil) I melted crayons onto cardstock. The end of a crayon was put directly onto the iron. (No shavings). The I swirled some areas of crayon around but not enough to muddy the colors. Next I stamped my tulips and cut them out. I used 3D foam tape to layer them onto the stamped ATC.

Eggheads ATC

Java Time! Coffee ATC's

I had to make some coffee ATC's for a monthly swap. They turned out pretty nice!

April Cupcake Calendar

Fun Tilda

I got this really great 8x8 paper with awesome floral backgrounds. My little Tilda just needed to sit out on a bright spring day.

Friends ATC

I thought it was time to use some of my Magnolia stamps and Copic Markers. Isn't the puppy cute?

ATC's

These ATC's use collage sheets from Collage Visions.

Another ATC

This child is from Collage Visions. The flowers were inked with distress inks and then chalk was applied.

Artist ATC- I tried something new!

I got these great big brads from Red Lead Paper Works a while back. The idea they shared was to scratch up the brad and add a picture for a vintage look. Isn't he cute? The stamp is also from Red Lead. The flowers were done with a technique I read about in the latest Somerset Studio. Stamp flowers in black or dark brown. Lightly Rub Distress Ink (Vintage photo) over the flower and then color with chalks. The look is very fun and the distress ink helps hold the chalk onto the paper.

Tilda and Friends ATC Challenge

"Horizontal Hold" is the theme for Tilda and Friends ATC Challenge. Tilda and her friends are from Magnolia Stamps. Both ATC's were done with colored pencils and Copic markers. Every Wednesday a new ATC Challenge is posted. I just happened to be late with mine!

Springtime in Paris!

This card uses new stamps from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps. I did the Eiffel Tower in a green/ gold toned embossing powder.
