Today I am popping in with a quick and easy Susan K Weckesser project I made. Our theme this month is gifts for special people. So I decided to make a small banner with some fun products.
Let me apologize first for my pictures, I am not able to hang the banner like it will be displayed so I could take pictures.

The Garden Whatnot Collection

 A Little Grunge Love

I used kraft card stock paper to stamp my tags with a blue ink and just left them uncolored .Next I stamped the hearts in red and covered with liquid glass.

 I received some fabulous products to use for this design team project

Decorative Clothespins White 

 Canvas Shape - Flag

 Solid Navy on Ivory paper

Navy and Ivory dots paper

Hemp Rope Natural 

 Tattered Angels glimmer mist Jack Frost

 I used a chicken wire  stencil for the background and used the glimmer mist for color.
Next I die cut a chicken wire pattern out of the solid paper and then layered an oval out of the dot paper.
Just added the tag and hearts with the clothespins.
Can't wait to share this with a friend.

Leaves Of Fall

Today I am popping in to share a quick card design I made using Susan K Weckesser and The Crafter's Companion products.

 

Autumn Grunge

 

Some of the stencils from TCW I used were : pod fragments,Beaded Curtain, and Harlequin.

 I used Susan K Weckesser paper as a background and inked and distressed with ink.

 Of course I had to add some texture with molding paste and stencil.

 Most of the papers in the background were in my supplies and the ribbon and twine is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

Hope you had a great weekend and thanks so much for stopping by today.

 

Total Love

Welcome,
Today our Susan K Weckesser design team is teaming up with TCW -The Crafter's Workshop.
TCW was so generous and sent our team so many fabulous stencils that we have all been using for awhile. Let me share a fun project I created for this special post.
Please stop over at the  Susan K Weckesser and TCW -The Crafter's Workshop to leave a comment to be entered in the daily giveaways.

I decided to create a scrapbook page with my beautiful daughter and her fur-babies.Using several of TCW stencils I created a fun background with lots of color and texture.

I used: Beaded Curtain, Bee On Time,Vineyard, Labyrinch.

 

Stamping with the Autumn Grunge stamp set on some of Susan's fabulous papers I was able to give some fun colors to the leaves. I covered all the leaves with crackle medium and then used TCW stencil to add molding paste wile I had distress ink drying.

Sorry for the fingers but I needed to hold so you didn't get the glare.

 

The Garden Whatnot Collection

Well of course I had to add one of these great new tags Susan created.

 Just wanted to share a couple close ups of all the layers and details on my scrapbook page.

 

Painted Sentiments

Distressing A Card This Month.

Today I have a really quick card to share for my Susan K Weckesser design team project. Now of course when I make cards I always love layers, distressing, and beautiful stamped images.

I had to use some of my favorite Susan K Weckesser paper that I inked (distressed) for a vintage look.

I decided to stamp and emboss my images which are the newest Susan K Weckesser stamps released.

 

 The Garden Whatnot Collection

Let me say that I love these Unity stamps because they always stamp so nicely and have the best details in red rubber stamps.

I chose to watercolor and distress the embossed images and fussy cut the stamped images to use for layering.

Just a couple more angles to share. I used some die cut shapes to mat my tag image. I also always love to add yummy ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and flowers and pearls for added dimension.

 Wanted to share a second card I made using a tag I made last month and I love how this tag looks on a card base. Using the same paper as a base and a die cut shape under for layering.

Let Your Heart Sing Album

This month for our Susan K Weckesser team we were asked to create Mixed Media. Now we all have a different definition of that technique or style.
I decided to alter a plain white album using paper and stamps.

Here is my plain white album and how I added strong white tape to attach my designer paper from Susan K Weckesser.

I used one side of the paper for part of the cover and the backside for the other portion.

 When I stamp an image sometimes I like to use the image in  reverse, that is when my mirror image stamp comes in handy. A hint is to practice a few times, sometimes it can smear and I have realized the image isn't as crisp as a straight on stamped image.

Here is my two stamped images attached together.

Isn't this a fun image? I love the whimsical style of this set, Sing your Song.

 I used the sun and cloud stamp from Fly Away

The ribbon on my project is from Really Reasonable Ribbon... I love how the colors work with the Susan K Weckesser design paper.

L.O.V.E...

Today I have a Mixed Media project to share using Susan K Weckesser and some of my favorite products. For the month of September our design team at Susan K Weckesser were asked to share mixed media projects.

 

Can you believe I made two canvas pieces? I always like to have more then one project when I am playing with new ideas. I can't decide which one I like more.

 

I used this fabulous Susan K Weckesser Unity stamp set.

This is the one sheet of paper I used for the background and the backside for my large letters.

This is the very large Unity Stamp I used for my canvas

 Let me share a few steps along the way. This is a 12 x 24 canvas that I covered with Tim Holtz tissue paper.I used scraps of some Susan K Weckesser paper and tore extra from the sheet above.

 The large hearts were stamped with Deco-Art Media paint and Crackle paint added to distress.

These hearts were stamped with Memento ink and then distressed with Tim Holtz Antique Linen ink.Next I added the fussy cut hearts to old book pages and tore the shape roughly.

 One of our partners at Susan K Weckesser is TCW -The Crafters Workshop, they supplied us with so many Fabulous stencils. The one I used to add dimension to my canvas is called Mini North Star and worked wonderful with Deco -Art modeling paste and Green Gold Media Paint.

 

If you click on any of the pictures you can get a closer look at the texture and detail.

Let me know if you have any questions and I will get back to you.

I know this has been a long post this time, I just wanted to share as many pictures and angles as I could. Thanks for checking out my project,hope you leave a comment to let me know what you think.
