Happy About Spring-Practical Scrappers DT Project

Hello Krafters!

Who is ready for spring? I know I am! This has been one of the worst winters I can remember! Check out this care. Hopefully it will bring a smile to your face and remind you that spring is a few weeks away!!

Today over at Practical Scrappers, we are looking through our cupboards and pulling out those unloved cookie cutters most of us only use during the holiday season. Go over and check out the other projects! I decided to pull out my clay and used two scalloped shaped cookie cutters for the embellishment. It matched the flowers in the Butterfly and Spring stack by DCWV perfectly!

Once the clay was dried, I rough painted it and added a pearl to the middle. I used the Grunge Girly Sayings (I think that is the name of it) Spellbinder Die by Donna S. for the sentiment and a stamp I had in my stash. That's it!

I hope you enjoyed today's project and it got you in the mood for spring. Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~

Practical Scrappers DT-Leave an Impression Mixed Media

Hello Krafters,

If you are a card maker, more than likely you use stamps for sentiments and an occasional image. Did you know you can use stamps for more than that? Oh yes! Stamps can be used to make pattern paper, add interest on layouts and just add the right element to a project. Check out how the Practical Scrappers DT used stamps. Today I decided to use a stamp on my mixed media project! Mixed media is a hot new trend. It is so much fun to do!

I cut down a piece of chipboard to 2.5x3.5". I used a collage stamp on some clay that I had in my stash. While that was in the oven, I layered some tissue paper on top of the chipboard for texture. Once the clay was set, I added it to the ATC. I added some flowers, chain and metal embellishments that I had in my stash.

 Next I painted everything with white Gesso. After the Gesso dried (I helped it using my heat tool), I added some Lindy's Stamp Gang (Gossamer Gold and Delphinium). Once, the sprays were dry, I stamped the collaged image with black Stazon Ink. Then I added Goosebumps spray for more texture.

That is it! I hope you enjoyed and try out today's project! Thank you so much for stopping by, Krafthead~

I Needed Accents!!!

Happy Monday Krafters!

Ok, first off, I have a disclaimer! ***I am NOT a jewelry maker and am NOT trying to be LOL*** If you are a jewelry maker, please try not to cringe! Now that I have that out of the way, let’s get on to the project. On a normal day, I usually don’t wear jewelry except for my wedding ring and two other rings. The only time I wear jewelry and makeup is if I am going to a wedding or something along those lines. Well I woke up yesterday, and realized what I was wearing to church really needed some type of accent and I did not have anything that worked. I went to my craft room and pulled out my unloved clay. It took me only a few moments to roll it out, shape, bake and put the finding on it. To give it a little bling, I added some Perfect Pearls, rubbed/buffed them and was out of the door! Not too bad for a few minutes right? I actually got compliments…LOL J
