Day 11 Unruly PaperArts Christmas Link Party~Newton's Nook IPC16 Christmas

Hello Again!

So happy you came by! If you are looking for my Creepmas project, please scroll down:)

This page I created to use as a gift for Christmas, shhhh don't tell anyone:)

I am sharing with Unruly PaperArts Day 11 of 12 Days of Christmas Link Party, all the fun gorgeous stuff can be found HERE.

I am also entering for the first time and sharing with Newton's Nook Inky Paw Challenge #16, Christmas.

Please click each image to see them bigger:)

The leaves and sentiment are Newton's Nook Falling into Autumn set. I love the wonderful smooth flow of these stamp shapes. The main image stamp maker I do not know. I found the stamp in a grab bag at a thrift shop. It is so gorgeous, I could not wait to use it this season:)

I like to change the angles so the light reveals the images differently. I used Archival Inks for stamping onto manilla stock and white Core'dinations.

Remember to count your blessings each day:)

APCC Week 12~Day 7 12 Days of Christmas Unruly PaperArts Link Party and Altered Playing Card Challenge

Wow Sunday!

Where is the time going? Crazy crazy! If you are looking for my 12 Days of Creepmas, please scroll down or click HERE :)

Today I caught up on the Altered Playing Card Challenge hosted by the lovely Claudine Criner. This is a great challenge and you can find all the cool details HERE. 

My take on the Week 12 is here. I went with affirmations and reminders to hold close in this hectic Holiday Season. 

I am also playing along with Unruly PaperArts 12 Days of Christmas Link Party, this is Day 7 and this is what was on my desk this day:)

Both of these challenges can be joined by anyone at any point, so I hope you can take a look and have some fun!

Altered Playing Cards are so fun, they are small and fun to work with. They are the standard playing card size.

I used paper and tissue paper for the background and Unity Stamps. 

This background was a scrap that I was playing with, just a technique playtime. I liked it and decided it worked for me today:)

~Enjoy~

Happy Holidays!

Creepmas Joy~Smeared Ink Day~12 Days of Creepmas AND Unruly PaperArts Link Party

Wonderful Wednesday!

Welcome to Day 2 of 12 Days of Creepmas! You can see all the fun details of this Hop HERE, at Terra's Blog:)

This is Day 3 of UnrulyPaperArts, UPA, 12 Days of Christmas Link Party, join the fun HERE.

For this day of Creepmas, the added challenge is to use Smeared Ink stamps, rubber or digi.

I love tags, ATCs and Altered Playing Cards(APC), so I think this year my Christmas tree is going to have lots of new decorations! And some really awesome gift tags:)

All images on the tag are digital and printed on my inkjet printer. I used Sharpies and Bic Mark Its to color. The tree topper is my favorite Smeared Ink, a Grumpie, love them! The steampunky kitty and gifts are part of the Steampunk Christmas digi set. The background is also a Smeared Ink digital paper in the set Icy.

The sentiment is Tim Holtz alpa stickers, still wanting a real Dymo tape label maker:)
I edged the tag with Distress Ink Faded Jeans and Black Soot.

Have fun on both Hops today! The Creepmas Hop list is at the top on the right in case you are lost.

The Unruly PaperArts Hop Link Party is HERE

I am also sharing at Smudgy Antics, which is back with a new Anything Goes Challenge, the only requirement is to use at least one Smeared Ink stamp, rubber or digi somewhere. 

I do hope you pop over to all these wonderful places to play! Share some comment love along the way :)

Mixed Media Mojo DT Inspiration~December 2014~Ornament~Unruly PaperArts 12 Days of Christmas

Hello!

Welcome December! Wow!! So amazing how fast December has arrived!

Today brings lots of fun stuff! This is a very busy month for many people all over. I appreciate you making the time to visit and hope you have an extra moment to leave a word or two.

This month I am also playing along with Smeared and Smudged Creepmas Challenge, if you are looking for my Creepmas, you can follow this link HERE.

Also I am playing at Unruly PaperArts 12 Days of Christmas Link Party, yes I know this is crazy but it is so FUN!

This day brings the December 2014 challenge for Mixed Media Mojo. This month is fun and simple and we really hope you can play along with us. The theme is Winter/Winter Holidays and the twist is Ornaments! You can play along anytime this month, we would love to see what you are making!

Here is my Mixed Media Mojo project, hope you like it! Please click the photos to see a larger version :)

I started with a silver shiny star ornament I found at the Dollar Tree store. It was complete with the bell attached.

I inked it with alcohol ink. The alcohol ink ink sticks to metal and plastic which is awesome. It was still too shiny so I decided to clear emboss it. I used Ranger Embossing Ink Dabber to apply the embossing fluid. Then coated with Ranger Extra Fine Embossing Powder. As with all heat embossing, be careful it is HOT. The metal gets even hotter! The star I simply heated while it was flat on the tile counter. The blue bell I embossed with Ranger White powder. I held the bell with a pair of long tweezers. The metal stays hot much longer than paper so take care when embossing.

The embossing gave some nice texture, I am happy with it :)

That part done, set it aside and did the stamp. I used one of my favorite Holtz stamps, the Three Gentlemen. The Steampunk Wise Men. I stamped with Archival Ink, Potting Soil and clear embossed. I love embossing! 

I used Antique Linen Distress Ink over the whole image. Then I used Vintage Photo around the edges and inwards. Then I misted the whole thing. I wiped a little off the hats and suits. I let it air dry. I like the color effect after it dried.

Once everything was dry and cool, I used the gears and jewelry jumprings I had in my stash to assemble my ornament.

Once my tree goes up, I will add this to it.

Thanks so much for reading! I hope you find inspiration along the Unruly PaperArts 12 Days of Christmas Hop and with us at Mixed Media Mojo!

Have a great day!
