Christmas CRAFTINESS! Reindeer Treats featuring FaLaLa with Rhonda

Reindeer Treats Shaker with Rhonda

Greetings and welcome to the blog today!  It's Rhonda here to share a holiday crafting project with you that is perfect when involving the kids. I've been wanting to switch things up a bit this year and give them a glimpse of holiday magic with some "reindeer food" for them to sprinkle out on the front lawn.  Usually we leave carrots but it's fun to switch things around right?

The idea came about because I had an empty shaker container and I put it aside to use for this special project!  The FaLaLa collection was perfect as the theme is fun and whimsical.




First, I covered the decorated portion of the shaker with the back side of the Noteworthy paper. Then I cut the tag, deer and die cuts. I covered the snowflake with white gesso and set aside to dry, but sprinkled just a bit of fine glitter on top so it would adhere.



Isn't this cute?  I'm so glad that I have this done now so later it's all ready to go on Christmas Eve!  I just put some oatmeal inside and sprinkled a bit more glitter to mix it up and give a bit of holiday glitz.

I hope you've enjoyed my project today.

Masculine Page featuring Penelope with Rhonda

Greetings, it's Rhonda here today to welcome you to the blog. I have a scrapbook page featuring the lovely Penelope collection which is simply gorgeous and rich in color and design! As this line features pretty blue florals, I thought it was perfect for a masculine page.

I used the Abbey sheet of patterned paper and cut several flowers and elements to layer into my collage. The featured scalloped banner became my photo mat. I opted to use a shaped photo to accent the design.

A variety of die cuts and fussy cut embellishments are layered into a collage using dimensional adhesive foam. Accents of DoubleDot Jewels and Flourish Jewels add the perfect amount of bling.

I added layers of torn papers to the left to give the page some interest, yet keeping the main "Penelope" paper design as the design feature.

Altered Composition Notes with Rhonda

Altered Composition Notebook by Rhonda Van Ginkel

Greetings and welcome to the Bobunny Blog today. it's Rhonda here to share an altered composition notebook featuring the new Family Recipes collection. It's such a charming collection full of fabulous culinary designs to spark your creativity.

I used the Mandala die to anchor the clock sentiment which was hand cut from the "So Good" paper. There are several embellishments cut from that paper including the chef's hat, the spoon and spatula and canister.



A few DoubleDot Jewels in Ruby Red were a nice extra touch on the clock. I also cut the rolling pin and adhered with some pop dots and tucked the cherry behind it.

I've used a bit of drywall tape for texture and layered a strip on top with a torn edge. As you can see, the Black patterned washi tape provided a nice accent on the binding.

A very simple accent on the upper right corner gives this book a finishing touch. I'm going to use this to keep notes about all of the new recipes that I am trying out and the settings for my electronic pressure cooker. Look for a recipe album of those coming next with this collection from me.

Garden Party and Mixed Media-Color Matching Techniques with Rhonda

Garden Party and Mixed Media Scrapbook Page by Rhonda Van Ginkel

It's Rhonda here today to share with you my a project featuring the all new Garden Party collection along with some of our mixed media products. I'll have a brief technique video for you at the end to show you how I applied some of these products to our Laser Cut Chipboard for color matching.

I created a collage of photos that coordinated nicely to the color scheme of the collection and matted it. Under the bottom of the mat I added a few cuts of the grass from the Bike Ride Dies set. Next, I cut out the elements from the Love Story paper.  I selected the Elegant paper for my background and the Fragrant paper for the brick layer. To size it, I simply placed a ruler along the edge and tore it, then finished it up with some piercing.

I determined my photo placement, then added the Royal stencil and applied Pentart Stencil Paste in Vanilla and Silver . I like to blend the colors for interest. I followed that up with some Glimmer Spray splatters in Bronze, Sugar, Gold and Mint.

While the splatters and paste were drying, I cut several die cut pieces and set them aside. The effect I was trying to achieve is a collage in the general shape of a car. It's very subtle, but you can see that I selected a few circle shaped cuts as "wheels" and a few other shapes for the front end.

Here I took several pieces and layered them in an unexpected way. The chandelier is upside down for added whimsy.

Since the photos here are of an unusual nature, I wanted to design my page in a fun way, but using a pretty collection. I love how the colors really work so well.  Here is a brief video to show you how I customized my Laser Cut Chipboard so that it coordinated with my page:

Mixed Media Travel Journal with Rhonda

Rhonda

Monday greetings to you! It's time for a bit of fun with Mixed Media today. I've created a Travel Journal featuring the Down By The Sea collection.

This travel journal features Gold Confetti Paste, Stamping, Stencils with Silver Glitter Paste, Pearlescents and some Pentart 3D Balls make an appearance as well. The coordinating accents include Chipboard, Noteworthy and some of the DoubleDot Jewels for accent.

I love the subtle sparkle that the Gold Confetti Paste adds. I also stamped lightly and then splattered a touch of Gold Glimmer Spray. To color the Pentart 3D Balls, they were placed into a small zipper plastic baggie, added a tiny amount of Chocolate and Sugar Pearlescents and rolled them until I had the color I wanted. I then laid them out to dry.

The finishing touches were some drops of Pearlescents added here and there to create more texture. They were also placed into the cheese cloth. I hope you've enjoyed my little travel journal.

Serendipity with Pentart Mixed Media with Rhonda

Greetings!

Hi there, it's Rhonda here today to share with you my project featuring the gorgeous Serendipity collection along with a few of the new Pentart products. I've got a couple of techniques that I will highlight in a short video as well.

This woodgrain paper called "Flight" was so soft I wanted to use it as my focus. I used some Pentart Primer Paste Gesso in white to lay down a whitewash effect and also to prepare the paper for additional mixed media pigments.

Once the background is prepared, I used the frame from the new "Congratulations Card Dies" set, but slipped it over my matted photo to showcase the photo in a soft but dramatic way.

Square foam dimensional adhesive is used to elevate the photo and under the butterflies. Double Dot Jewels are added to accent the Noteworthy butterflies.

One of my favorite assembly methods is collage, I take bits and pieces from Noteworthy, or die cut some elements, cut them apart and layer them into the page. As you can see peeking out from behind the bird, there is a bit of grass layered in.

Weekend Adventures and Mixed Media with Rhonda

Out and About- 1 Layout 3 Ways with Rhonda

Greetings to you, I am excited to share my layout created in three degrees of difficulty today, otherwise known as "1 Layout 3 Ways".  The Weekend Adventures collection has such a fun array of patterns and designs to it as you will soon see.

The image above is a very basic design or "Level 1" that you can create using the pattern papers in the collection along with some Noteworthy pieces. I did a bit of cut work for the oval layer with the floral that allows me to tuck my photo within.

Level 2, building in a few more pieces into the collage here, I have included some chipboard elements and additional sentiments while keeping the rest of the design mixed media free.

Level 3, I worked in a few base pattern paper layers and added some Stamping, Glimmer Spray splatters along with a bit of Stencils and Pentart Stencil Paste. A variety of Dot Jewels are added as accents. To add a bit more dimension I also included some Layered Chipboard pieces.

I love the glitter accents of the Layered Chipboard pieces!

The two top layers are stitched on and edges gently distressed. Foam adhesive squares added so much texture on the page. Here's a surprise for you, the fireworks at the top (Good Vibes), are actually turned upside down. I thought it was a fun switch.



Of course I had to add a few Dot Jewels to accent the cute designs in this collection. This page was so much fun to build and it cametogether so quickly.

Petal Lane and Pentart Antique Paste with Rhonda

Sunday Funday Gift with Rhonda

Happy Sunday Funday crafty friends, it's Rhonda here today to share with you a crafty gift project, an altered clipboard that I created featuring Petal Lane and Pentart Antique Paste in Gold. 

To begin, I coated the edges of the clipboard with some Pentart Primer Gesso in white and let dry. Once dry, I added a layer of the Pentart Crackle Primer 1 on top and let completely dry.  Then, I added a layer of the Pentart Crackle Primer 2 in Victorian Rose and allowed to dry overnight. It provides that aged bit of crackling on the very border that coordinates to the paper collection.

While the products were drying I then went through my papers and selected my favorites to cover the clipboard with. I trimmed to size, used a 1/4" corner rounder on the corners and got them ready to adhere.

Once I had trimmed out a template for the clamp of my clipboard shape, I was ready to adhere the paper.  I used Pentart Gel Paste to adhere my papers to the clipboard. In between the top and the bottom sections, you will see that I layered a medium doily and on top of that a bit of cheese cloth. 

Once that was dry, I used a dry brush and accented the doilies with the Antique Paste in Gold. It gives the perfect touch of a gentle shimmer. Some stamping randomly was done, then added Glimmer Spray splatters in Bronze, Tutu, Sugar and Gold as well as some Tutu Glitter Paste using the polka dot Brocade Stickable Stencil.

I really wanted to focus on keeping this project useful so the Stamping, Ink Splatters, Clear Stickers and Noteworthy items were perfect to add the right amount of texture without removing functionality for the clipboard.

Game on and Penart Lasur Gel with Rhonda

Fine Arts Friday - Altered Frame designed by Rhonda

Crafty greetings to you, it's Rhonda here with an altered frame to share with you today featuring the Game On collection and some products by Pentart, the Lasur Gel Indoor Use in Blue and the Metal Wax Paste in Silver.

To begin, I gave the frame 2 even, light coats of the Pentart Lasur Gel Indoor Use, and let dry. I really liked how the grain of the wood was still visible and wanted to keep that timeless look. After one peek at the vibrant blue I knew this project needed silver accents. I added the Silver Foil Accent Transfers in opposing corners.

Once the frame was completely dry I used a very light hand and a brush to randomly accent the frame with the Metal Silver Wax. The next step was to use the "Oh My Stars" Stickable Stencil and my Silver and Blueberry Glitter Paste. I then added a few drops of Sugar and Frost Glimmer Spray splatters. 

To finish the frame, I added a collage of Noteworthy sentiments and die cuts along with a few chipboard pieces as well.  My boys are in sports of all kinds and I love that I can pop in any sport photo in here and it will be perfect!

Petal Lane and Pentart Lasur Gel with Rhonda

Beautiful Vintage Page by Rhonda Van Ginkel

Greetings and welcome to the blog, I have a mixed media project featuring the beautiful new Petal Lane collection for you today. I've used the Pentart Lasur Interior Gel in Country Rose three different ways on my project.

The first way I used it was to mix just a touch of White Gesso with it and lightly dry brush along the edges of the foundation paper and rub it in. 

I then used the Brocade Stickable Stencil and some Sugar Glitter Paste and applied a bit of iridescent sparkle to the page. After this was applied, small splatters of Gold, Sugar and Bronze Glimmer Spray were added randomly. Note the centers for a few of my florals here, want to see how I colored them?

I knew I wanted to use some of the very pretty floral Noteworthy die cut shapes and wanted to embellish the centers with some of the 3D balls, but wanted to color coordinate them. I placed a variety of them into a small zip lock baggie.

To lighten the color just a touch, I added in some White Gesso with the Lasur Gel and blended together. Carefully, I added it into the baggie and gently worked the color mixture through.

When completed, I cut the sides and top of the baggie off and laid open to separate, added a few mists of Sugar Glimmer Spray on top, then set aside to dry. 

One last use, I took some of the remaining Lasur Gel and applied a nice coating on top of the Chipboard Laser Die Cut Tag. I then misted a few sprays of Silver Glimmer Spray and set aside to dry. Once dry, I added a touch of stamping randomly to coordinate with the random stamping on the page.

I accented a small bit of the stamping with a very light touch of Pentart Wax Paste Metal in Silver.
