Wildflowers on Woodgrain - Stampers Anonymous

This tutorial focuses on making some woodgrain paper with Distress Crackle Paste and the Woodgrain Stencil.from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous. The lovely Wildflower Silhouette clear stamps (or Mini Bouquet if you want Red Rubber stamps) make a beautiful focal point on this woodgrain background.

Here is my process tutorial if you would like to see how I made these cards.

This is a mini slimline card.

The woodgrain was made by tinting Distress Crackle Paste Opaque with a few drops of Gathered Twigs Distress Ink Reinker and then putting it through the woodgrain layering stencil. onto Mixed Media Heavystock.

Then I colored the Mixed Media Heavystock With Distress Spray Stain in Walnut Stain and Scorched Timber. I cut the woodgrain into 7/8" strips.

I inked the wildflowers with Mini Distress Inks and sprayed with water before stamping on Distress Watercolor Cardstock. Then I cut the flowers out with the coordinating dies for the red rubber stamp version of these wildflowers called Mini Bouquet CMS259. 

Here is a closer peek at the nail holes in the wood. I poked the holes with the Craft Pick from TIm Holtz and Tonic, them colored wtih Distress Markers (yest I still have them.

I tied the ends of the flowers into a bouquet with some bakers twine. 

The sentiment is from the Crazy Talk stamps.

This version is an A2 size and is the one I sent to Stampers Anonymous. 

The background woodgrain was made the same way but I used Lost Shadow Spray Stain to make a weathered barnwood look.

Again I poke "nail" holes with the Craft Pick and then colored them with a Rusty Hinge and Ground Espresso Distress Marker. 

I just love the look of the rusty nail holes.

The sentiment was from Crazy Talk again.

Thank you for reading through this. I hope it was helpful.

Have a creative day!

Tiny Toadstools Etcetera Tag

 

Today's project is a small Etcetera piece that really packs a punch. The Etcetera adds dimension to a project that just makes things pop. I used the Tiny Toadstools Mixed Media Stamp and Stencil set from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous to cover the Etcetera #8 Tag and Etcetera Mosaic Tiles. All the products are listed below 

 Here is the video process tutorial for today's tag.

 

Included in today's project is a short tutorial on how to stamp on twill ribbon with Distress Paints. That's right, two paint tutorials in a row!

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Interactive Birthday Card

Hello Makers! I put the Simon Says Stamp coordinating dies to work this week by making this interactive spinner card.

Here is a video tutorial of my process for making this card. 

The Bold Sayings stamps can be used as is, or you can cut the words out and just use the words you want. 

I used the text stamps on both Professor stamp sets to make a 5x7 background .

The words for the spinner are from Tiny Text.

I layered several for the professor dies cuts and then after attaching the spinner I attached him to the guage with foam tape. 

The spinner was made by cutting the arrow from the Correspondence coordinating die set and using the Professor Suite dies to cut the goggles.

The background stamping was doen in Old Paper Distress Ink.

 If you wanted the background to be a complete circle with birthday options all the way around, you would need to make a 6x6 card base and stencil the green circle on a 5.5x5.5 piece of White Heavystock.

 I hope you enjoyed the process video in this card. It was fun to make!

Have a creative day, 

Tami

Card Donations for an Animal Sanctuary

 I'm making a bunch of boxed sets of cards to donate to an animal sanctuary that has pigs, cows, goats, sheep and a couple of chickens. They have frequent fundraisers for food, snacks, bedding, property upkeep, vehicles, medical costs and so much more. So these cards will be going toward their art crawl fundraiser coming up in a couple of months. 

Video link

 I was able to make 5 sets of 6 cards out of the products I used in this video. I have plans for more card sets, but I have deadlines to finish this week and then I will get back to the donations.

 

I hope you enjoy this little walk though of my process making 30 cards with Unity Stamp Co stamps and Whimsy Stamps papers.

As you can see it all began with stamping all the images, coloring them, and fussy cutting them. Next I cut all 30 6x6 Barnyard papers into 4x5.25 back grounds and I stamped 10 with the Unity Cows, 10 with the Unity smiling pig and 10 with the Unity spotted pig. That way when I added the fussy cut colored pigs and cows onto the backgrounds all the little details showed. 

Next I fussy cut all the sentiments I had stamped, and added the sentiments and put all the card fronts onto kraft card bases. I added an envelope for each on and put them in one of these kraft window boxes. Then so the rescue could tell which set of six to send to the supporters who purchase them. I added twine and tied a tag with a letter on the back for easy reference. Then I added the photos below to the back of each box so they knew which cards were in the boxes as well.
