Artist on the Block Snowman using 100 Proof Prress Stamps

Exciting month for the Artist on the Block...we are paired up with 100 Proof Press Stamps to create some fabulous inspiration this month.

I am excited to share that I selected Christmas stamps from 100 Proof Press to create my block with...

and with stamps I made this wonderful Artist on the Block Snowman to add to my collection of snowmen (I have 76 and counting). 

 To begin with you need to die cut 3 different sizes of the Artist Blocks using mat board.

 Ink the edges with Tea Dye Ink, make sure to bend the the die cuts so you can do all the edges.

Cut Graphic 45 Christmas Papers and add to the sides and tops of each block with your Teresa Collins Mega Runner. 

I stamped several of the holy leaves from 100 Proof Press Stamps with Memento Green Ink and colored them in with a green Copic Maker...fussy cut them out as I added them to my project. 

I added a few of the holly leaves to around the neck of my deer along with a bit of red bling.

Also added some on the hat along with berries and pinecones I picked up at our local craft store.

I stamped and colored this super cute Santa from 100 Proof Press Stamps on to a premade doily and popped it up using pop dots and added it to the side of my Snowman along with more premade Christmas berries, flowers and pinecones.

I also added one of Tim Holtz metal wreaths along with the number 25 to the opposite side of the block.

I hope you enjoyed to my fun Artist on the Block Snowman and try to make one yourself...hope you mark your calendars to check out all the projects that will be shared on both the Artist on the Block and 100 Proof Press Blogs. Hugs Pammejo

Thankful Wall Hanger with Craftwell and Teresa Collins Memory Die Set

Today is all about being "Thankful"... I am so thankful for so many things but the one thing I am most "Thankful" is for my sweet husband. We have been together since we were sixteen years old, that is along time, smiling. Though I created my wall hanger about us you can easily make your theme about anything you are thankful for in 2014.

I began by cutting out 4 of the photo frames from Teresa Collins Lifestyle Die Set and leaving only one that says "Happy" the other three I carefully cut the "Happy" off to just have the frame. I covered a 4 x12 piece of cardboard and added a few borders from the Imaginisce paper I was using.

I also used a border die that I cut using my Cut N' Boss, layering my platforms in the order of the photo.

I love this butterfly die that is in Teresa Collins Memory Set...it is spectacular and works so well on the wire hanger.

I just love to add details to all my projects so I had to add the Chicken Wire and Life die cuts to the photo frames...I think it always gives your projects interested when you look at it and see something else that you didn't see the first time. 

Everyone is into silly selfies, including us, so I had to add this one because it just makes me "Happy". I hope you enjoyed my Thankful Wall Hanger of me and my honey, it is our year in review. I hope you try making yourself one with the people or things you are thankful for. Hugs Pammejo

Let's Find a Beautiful Place Album with Xyron and Paper House Productions

Today I am sharing with you this fabulous Lets Find a Beautiful Place Album using some fabulous products from Xyron and  In the Wild Collection from Paper House Production .

 I began my album by first cutting out mat board using Eileen Hull's Book Die. I love Xyron Glue Sticks, they are perfect for any alter project so beginning by generously applying to the bind of  mat board book and then placed a strip of the paper to the bind. Use the book die and cut paper for the front and back, ink the edges and repeat using your Xyron Glue Stick. 

Once paper is placed on the book cover ink edges with brown ink.

Repeat again for the inside of book only this time cut a piece of the In the Wild Paper the length and width of make sure to glue the center down first with your Xyron Glue Stick, fold back so you form a crease line and then repeat on the front and back insidetil paper is secure.

Add your favorite stencil and modeling paste to the top of book, let dry.

Cut and decorate pages using  Teresa Collins Mega Runner from Xyron. I used several different die cuts from Spellbinders along with pre-made doilies and ran them through my Xyron 3" Create A Sticker Maker.

Love how wide the Create a Sticker Maker is, don't you?

It was so easy to make my mini album with all the fabulous embellishments that Paper House Production makes to go along with the papers.

Here is another page I created where I cut the sticker in half so it would flow on to both of may pages.

Also a page using the same die and doily...so easy

I always create my covers to my album last, so I always set aside the pieces that I want to use. Decorate the cover with flowers, berries, twine and ribbon using Xyron Adhesive Dots along with another embellishment from Paper House Productions Embellishments.

As you can see you can add as many a pages as you want to your the mini album by just tying twine over the folded pages and tying on the outside bind of the book.

I hope you enjoyed my Let's Find a Beautiful Place Album that I created with Xyron and Paper House Productions...make sure to check out the blogs for inspiration and the both stores for other fabulous products. Hugs Pammejo

Jones Orchard Layout with Craftwell

Wow...can you believe it is already Nov, where has this year gone. Well,  today I want to share with you a layout I created from our pumpkin picking time at Jones Orchard. I just love the rows and rows of gourds, squash and pumpkins and couldn't resist taking a photo.

 I began my layout by first getting some scrap white card stock and cut a couple of the Teresa Collins Memory Chicken Wire Dies out using the Cut N' Boss and platforms in this order. 

Sandwich the platforms together along with the paper and die, run through the Cut N' Boss.

Once cut decide where you are going to place your photo and then place die cut down on a sheet of white card stock.  (Make sure to leave some of the cut outs in the die cut, it will give a great effect.)

Using a combination of Gold Crackle Texture Paste, Modeling Paste and a palette knife apply over the stencil die cuts you have created. 

 Once dry apply both blue and yellow Gelatos randomly on white card stock, mist with water and rub in, dab with paper towel to remove excess water. When completely dry spray Tarnished Brass Distress Stain lightly to top. Allow this to dry completely

Now for you last step in creating you background paper apply Tea Dye Distress Ink over the top of paper.

Now the fun part, decorating your layout with some more of the die cuts from Teresa Collins Memory Die Set...this is one amazing set of dies, so many to choose from. I used the bracket die as part of my border strip and placed them on my page using Teresa Collins Mega Tape Runner from Xyron.

And then added a double layered butterfly to the top of the "Best Day Ever" die cut that I layered on to blue pattern paper. 

HINT: Easy way to add  small intricate die cuts is by using your Xyron Sticker Maker.

Here is another of those intricate dies from the Memory Die Set. I hope you enjoyed my mixed media layout using the new Memory Die Set. Hugs Pammejo

Favorite Recipes with Eileen Hulls Vintage Kitchen Collection

  If you haven't heard Eileen Hull has made a fabulous Vintage Kitchen Die Collection. I created these a couple of months for the debut but am sharing again today. The first one is the Stove Die from the Vintage Kitchen Die Collection. I used Graphic 45 Bohemian Bazaar and Xyron Glue Sticks to cover the mat board with once I had the sides inked together. This would make fabulous gift or an accessory to your home.

 I love, love the Canister Die from the Vintage Kitchen Collection. Again, I used my Xyron Glue Sticks and Graphic 45 Bohemian Bazaar Collection and embellishments to decorate all the pieces with. It is just so functional and I can't wait to make so many other items using it but this one is filled with some of my favorite teas. 

And for my last is a Loaf Pan which is also part of the collection of dies.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my projects using the Vintage Kitchen Collection that will be ready for release sometime in December.  I cannot wait to be able to get them.
