Sweet Friends Card with IBS and MME

Good Morning Sweet Friends....it is such a lovely day....great day to go to a yard sale or two is what I think...smile. I love looking for fun stuff to alter or finding things to use on my projects don't you. Well today my "Sweet Friend" I made a card that just says how lovely a day it can and should be....hee, hee, hee. I made my card from My Minds Eye Lost and Found Blush paper pad and a stamp from the Creative Tags by Inspired by Stamping. I layered all of my tags before I placed them on my card base, fussy cut the "such a lovely day" bird banner from a piece of the paper and placed it to the top of my card with pop dots once I had wrapped it a few times with brown twine. I tadded the tag and tied a bow before adding my fussy cut bird to the top with a pop dot. I hope you have a fabulous weekend and stop back by. Hugs Pammejo

Friends Mini Album with Couture Creations

I love mini albums...they are one of the most favorite thing I love to create, they are a way to use a few pictures but yet you have an album that last a lifetime. Today I created my Friend Album using a chipboard book that I had in my stash along with the Large Vintage Girl Embossing Folder and the Nesting Sunflowers. The Large Vintage Girl Embossing folder from Couture Creations is the perfect size for the front of the chipboard album.

I started by first running my salmon colored paper through my die cut machine.

 I then cut out a bunch of the Nesting Sunflowers out so I would be able to make my flowers.

T

When I covered my album front and pages I cut the excess paper off with my xacto knife from the Couture Creations Handheld Essentials Kit and sanded the edges with the Couture Creations Sanding Block

I also sanded the front of the embossed image with my sanding block to expose the white color core.

Taking my Couture Creations Precision Scissors I cut around the frame

and continue to do the same for the inside of the embossed image so I could form a frame for the front of my album

 

I inked all of the album pages and the frame with the distress ink using Couture Creations Sponge Daubers.

I added Couture Creations Double Sided Tape to the cut out center so I could place a piece of pattern paper behind the frame.

I just love the Couture Creations Double Sided Foam Tape, it gives great dimension and that is what I wanted to achieve this for the front of my book when I place it to the front of my album.

When you get ready to make your flower from Couture Creations Nesting Sunflowers, ink them first, mist with water, wad them up and allow them to dry completely.

Once it is completely dry carefully open them up, layer them, using your Couture Creations Handheld Essentials Paper Piercer pierce a hole in the center and add a brad.

Here is a closer look at the flowers and the Large Vintage Girl frame I created

and a second look at the other corner.

I hope you try your hand at making an alter album. Check out the Couture Creations Embossing Folders and other fabulous products that you could use with your album also. Hugs Pammejo

I Love You More Can using Inspired by Stamping Reveal Stamp

Today Inspired by Stamping reveal day for the French Country stamp sets. I am in love with this stamp set and sure I hope to inspire you to feel the same. I decided as soon as I saw them that I had to make an altered project and with that being said I had my husband make his fabulous salsa so I could have his large tomato can...always a reason to get a project going, hee, hee, hee. So I flatten my can at the top and paint it with white gesso. While it was drying I stamped a burlap ribbon with black ink and one of the French Country Background Border stamps. I think the chicken wire stamp looks fabulous on the ribbon and can't wait to do it again. LOL

Here is a closer look at the ribbon that I stamped.

The sunflower stamps are fabulous on the French Country set. I colored 6 stamped images with my Copic maker and fussy cut them all out but on 3 of them I cut them a bit smaller so I could layer them with pop dots and used stickles for the centers. 

I stamped the label from the French Country Stamp Set on to a piece of pattern paper along with a sentiment from Big Notes II set prior to running it through my die cut machine using my Fancy Label I Die Set. I glued my stamped and fussy cut roaster to the label prior to gluing it to and placing it in my can

I then stamped a second roaster along with the Fleur De Lis  from the French Country Stamp set and placed it at the bottom of my can, notice I put my Fleur De Lis in a bottle cap and placed an epoxy bubble over the top of it. I hope you check out the other designers for inspiration and going check out the other fabulous items at Inspired by Stamping. Hugs Pammejo

Clowning Around with SinCity Stamps Blog Hop

Welcome to our Clowning Around with SinCity Stamps...I hope you have a fabulous time hopping through all the talented designers to see what is happening under the "Clowning Around" Big Top. Just click on each of the links to see what is happening...most important is to have fun after all you have come to a circus....

I made an altered box for my project to share using the Clowning Around Stamp Set along with the Urban Grunge set, after all you have to have a place to put all your fabulous prizes, tickets and treasures at.

I began my stamping a piece of yellow card stock with Brown Memento Ink. I inked my stamped and stamped it three times before I re-inked this will give you a great shadow/collage effect on your paper.

Once this was done...I used my blending tools and three different colors of distress inks to ink up the yellow card stock so it would look a bit more vintage to go along with my pattern papers.

Once I achieved the look I was going for I place it on the center of my box and added my pattern papers.

Here is a closer look, can you see I meter the corners of the paper prior to placing it on the box and adding the metal corners. It makes the stamped image look like it has been framed.

I stamped my ticket from the Clowning Around Stamp Set with embossing ink and Seafoam White Embossing Ink.

I colored the fun jack in the box clown in with Copic Markers and added it as well as my embossed ticket to the front of the picture wheel that I had die cut out and placed to the front of my box.

I added a painted hinge that I die cut out and stamped when it was dry with a small gear stamp set from the Clowning Around Stamp to the top of my box along with the "Laughter" bottle that I colored in with my Copic Markers.

 I thought the little tied on dice would be a fun accent to add a bit more to my box.

Here is another look at the front of the Clowning Around box. I hope you take a look at all of the fun and fabulous stamp sets at SinCity Stamps. The fun part of our Clowin' Around Blog Hop is that each of the designers is giving away a $10.00 Gift Certificate from SinCity Stamp Store, all you have to do is visit each of our blogs, make a little comment to let us know you have visited and follow our blogs.
