It's Mixed Media Thursday!

Hello Friends! Today I tried to show that glitter can be a little perfect touch on different type of cards. And you don't even need a lot of patterned paper I have used the beautiful cardstcok as the base of my cards.

Admit one card by Evgenia Petzer

I took wooden gears, first colored them in a dark color and then applied glitter paste on top. I really think this little touch makes a big difference to a masculine card.

Snowman card by Evgenia Petzer

Look at this gorgeous glitter! It's just so perfect for a snowy, sparkly effect.  I took the cinnamon stick and covered it with a glitter paste, and also applied it on a lace sticklable stencil.

What A Wonderful World!

What a Wonderful World by Ilene Tell

Today, I'm sharing a Pinterest-inspired layout. I admit it - I love Pinterest. It's one of those sites that kind of sucks you in, and before you know it, hours have passed. When I got the challenge to use a picture from Pinterest to inspire a layout, I thought it would be fun to browse some home décor ideas. There is so much stuff out there! All the images with "Gallery Walls" caught my eyes. Something about the simplicity in combination with the busyness of it was just fascinating. So streamlined and organized, and yet SO much to look at. Here's my inspiration image:

 It comes from TidbitsAndTwine (and there's a whole article there on creating gallery walls). The Altitude paper was perfect for it since it already had a whole collection of "framed" images. To better fit the wall décor feel, I used foam adhesive to pop up the photo and all the images around it, to help them "float" on the page.

I also added some buttons and banners to give the layout a little more interest and variety without taking away from the more streamlined feel of it.

A Little Dutch Inspiration!

Hi everyone, it's Amy here with you today, to share my pinterest inspired off the page project.
I love surfing around the net especially on pinterest you get so many ideas just looking around.
As most of you know I live in The Netherlands that's why I wanted to make something Dutch.
So I came up with a "Clog" what's more Dutch then that right? This picture inspired me to make my OTP.

Wooden Clog by Amy Voorthuis

For this clog I used the pretty Rose Cafe collection. I think the person that created that collection must have Dutch roots, as I said before I love the blues in that collection it looks like Delft's Blue.

I have a little tutorial on how I made this.

The original look of the clog.

All gessoed, abraded and gessoed again to give the surface a better attachment for my next layer of paper pieces.

I used some glue & seal matte finished to attach the pieces of paper and later on sprayed it with some golden glimmer mist and stamped it with the it is written stamp.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope I inspired you to make something pretty using your country as inspiration!

It's All About the Details!

Pinterest is a treasure-trove of visual eye candy, so this month, my Misc Me layout is a pinterest-inspired creation.

Solstice by Keri Babbitt

I was inspired by the cascading silver circles in this Pinterest image:

I decided to get this ethereal look with a fun new technique - using BoBunny art mediums on the outside of my page protectors!  Below is a tutorial to achieve this fun look on your own project.

This particular 2-page spread is a bit unique.  Rather than left and right facing pages, the layout uses both sides of the page protector, for a see-through pocket effect.  To get this type of page started, first I chose photos for both sides of the page protector, and then adhered them to each other and put them in their correct pockets.  Then, I started on the mixed media technique.

I cut an 11.5" circle out of cardstock, and used it to mask off each corner of the page protector, one at a time.

I used Sugar Pearlescents to fill in the stencil, then flattened out the paste evenly and scraped off the excess.

The result is a creamy look that is bold and fun against the dark photos.

After repeating this process for all eight corners (Do four corners, let dry, then flip over and repeat process for four remaining corners), I added more stenciling onto the middle pockets of the page protector.

To get a multi-tonal effect, I placed the two pearlescent colors in different spots on the stencil, and then spread glitter paste over the whole thing.

The less you work the colors with the spreader, the more color variation the final look will have.

Gorgeous!  Note: the glitter paste will dry clear, giving a more icy, sparkly look.  If you want this opaque white look to stay, you can get this effect by swapping the glitter paste for modeling paste, or sugar pearlescents.

After everything was dry, I added my finishing touches.  If you are adding glitter, sequins, or confetti to your pockets, make sure to seal them shut with a sewing machine or double-sided tape.  Here is the final result:

I love the peek-a-boo feature of this page, and the circle of dots around each photo edge creates a fun shaping to the layout.  See-through elements are great for winter/snow/ice themes, like this page about us spreading bird seed around our yard on Winter Solstice.

Fantastic Film Stickers!

Good Morning Everyone! Is everyone enjoying winter? I will admit I am a little envious of our friends overseas who are enjoying the warm weather. Here in Canada it's been a late winter and quite a warm one where I live. When we have a little warm spell, we pack up the pups and head out to the lake house for some peace, quiet, and a warm fire.

Hello Winter by Lynn Shokoples

 
This layout is all about a trip we took out there. I had so much fun playing with the Altitude Collection. The warm colors and all the elements fit my photos to a tee!

 I used the Film Stickers not only as borders for my layout, but also as individual stickers on some of the cards. Another way to use them is like a paper strip behind your photo. Use the whole roll, some of the roll, or little pieces to jazz up your layouts. They were fun to just tuck here and there.

 I also had some fun with the Silver Glitter Paste and the Lace Stickable Stencil. It gave a little sparkle to the cards. A little sparkle in the winter time, just warms things up don't you think?

Cards To Inspire!

Hi everyone! It's Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell) here for you today! I want to share with you two of my new card. The first one is "Love you beyond the stars". 

As you understand, it's made for the beloved :). 

Frame was beautiful from the start, but I decided to add a little sparkle by using the glitter paste and acrylic paint.

The card has several layers, but the most interesting layer is made of the Adhesive Film Strip - it is transparent, and it adds the depth!

Of course, I could not forget about white drops - so card has become brighter!

Noteworthy: Star-Crossed

Glitter Paste: Copper

The second one is the "One day we'll meet again" card. For this card I decided to use a fairly bright and slightly mystical colors - deep purple (heheh), pink and white. As you can see the Adhesive Film Strip's transparency again added depth and a little mystery!

 A little pink accent ( dot of Blush Pearlescents) added more interest!

 As you can see, I've used the paste and spray with a suitable tinge. Quite a small piece of map (real map!) and a small piece of scrap paper completed the composition!

Hello BoBunny friends! I absolutely love the color combo of Altitude collection, its a bit unusual for a winter theme, but it looks so fabulous!

Hello Snow card by Evgenia Petzer

I used the stamp stickers as a chain of elements and framed it in the filmstrip woodshape. I also have applied the silver glitter past  with my finger tips over some elements to have a snowy look.
