Stamping on vellum card tutorial with Irit

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my last November tutorial made for Susan K Weckesser blog.
I didn't make step by step photos this time, so it's just the step that you can do to make this fancy card.
1. Make the basic card with stitched rectangle die and Susan's Live in color cardstock.(Use the back side for this card)
Add another layer die cut in smaller size using Susan's Colorburst cardstock.(Use back side again)
2. Die cut the third rectangle and die cut the honeycomb using Sizzix die. Glue the die cut layer as your third layer.
3.Make yellow cardstock matting and the diagonal cardstock layer and glue them over the first three layers.
4. Stamp the Susan's co- branded with Unity sentiment from In my garden stamp set with black pigmented ink and heat emboss with clear powder. Die cut the sentiment and make a yellow circled matting using Die Versions stitched nested dies. Glue the sentiment over the card as shown.
5. Stamp the big flowers over clear vellum from the same stamp set in the same way and hand cut them. Color the flowers with Susan's inks from Clearsnap using them as water colors (Kiss, Fresh and Snow).
Glue the flowers with clear glaze and cover them with a  glaze layer.
6. Add some rhinestones and three yellow circles around the card. Make faux stitching as shown with black pen.

Fancy tags tutorial with Irit

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new tags tutorial!

This time I made a couple of fancy tags with Susan K Weckesser's Unity co- branded stamps, Clearsnap inks including Susan's gorgeous mini ColorBox Color Pop inks and the most gorgeous Makin's Clay casted in molds embellishments that were painted in gorgeous shimmery paints from Art Anthology.

So here is the full tutorial:

1. Stamp two tags from The Garden whatnot collection with black pigmented ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.

2. Hand cut the tags around the stamped images and made two copper glitter hand cut tags a bit bigger than the stamped tags.

3. Ink the stamped tags with a mix of Susan's Clearsnap ColorBox mini Color Pop inks in Kiss, Fresh and Ice colors. Just use them as a kind of watercolor over the tags. 

4. And as a magic-  your tags are just done!
Glue the inked stamped tags over the copper glitter tags.
Tie the twine and glue Makin's Clay embellishments that were previously painted and add some pearls on the side.

I added a  couple of chipboard words to make those tags more artistic and not just  usual gift tags.

"It Takes A Village" Mixed media wood blocks

 

 

 

 

 

Hi!  This is Joyce and I am excited to be part of the Susan K. Weckesser Design Team.  Mixed media and recycling is a passion of mine, so today I would like to share with you how to create your own village using the wonderful new mini-pop inks, stamps, and scrapbook paper that Susan has created. 

For this project, I used recycled children's wood building blocks.  I made mine reversible, and the roofs can be switched around also.  Another idea would be to make a holiday house on one side and "everyday" on the other.  You can use any size, shape, or combination of blocks, so get creative and have fun!

 

 

First, choose your blocks to make a little village.  Slice larger blocks in half on the bandsaw to make roofs.  

 

 



 

 

Next, tear up strips of old tissue patterns into sections approximately 1" x 3".  Using a foam brush and Decou-page, glue on tissue pieces to cover all sides of your houses and roofs.  Be sure to overlap edges a bit.  Let dry.

 

 

Take your mini-pop ink color and swipe it on all sides of your wood piece.  This covers quite easily and is bright and vibrant.  When dry, use Mystery for a vintage look by swiping the edges.  Continue with all colors until all blocks are colored.

 



 

Ink up the Celebration of Simple stamps with the mini-pop inks and stamp onto the Colorburst scrapbook paper for the roof fronts.  Cut out triangles to fit your blocks.  Adhere the pieces with the Decou-page.



 

Trace the house block shapes onto the Colorburst paper and cut to fit the blocks.  Use both sides of the paper for variety.  Glue the rectangle pieces with Decou-page onto the blocks. 

 

Drill holes 1/4" into roofs for chimneys (screws or springs) to fit.   



 



 

With the Doodle Stencil and a cosmetic sponge, pounce Decoart paint colors on house fronts and backs.  Use coordinating paint colors with the mini-pop ink colors.  Let dry.  Using the Mystery ink, go over edges of scrapbook paper. 

 

Cut out magazine words that relate to the home theme.  Distress the edges with Mystery ink.

 

Arrange metal scraps, keys, buttons, dominoes, and magazine words to your liking.  Photograph for reference.  Glue on all paper pieces and words.  Doodle around words and stenciled areas with a ultra-fine sharpie pen and a white gel pen.  Brush over all house surfaces with Decou-page.  Allow to dry.  With foam brush, cover all wood block surfaces with Decoart ultra-matte varnish.  Dry well.  Glue down all metal pieces, dominoes, keys, buttons with E6000 glue.  Also glue in the chimneys with E6000 glue, referring to photo. 



 

I hope you enjoyed this project and look forward to seeing what you've created with Susan K. Weckesser products.

Hello friends. Larissa here today and I have to say I am so happy to be back for another term with my friend. Susan is one of the sweetest people I know.

Today I created a card for you and used a few different stamp sets.

First off I took a piece of white cardstock I had cut to 5 1/4 x 5 1/4. I laid it in my MISIT and placed the stamps where I wanted them. I used Simon Says Stamp Black Intense ink to stamp them on the cardstock.

After stamping them on the cardstock I used a couple different mediums to color the images. 

First off I used Colorbox® Color Pop Premium Dye Ink By Susan K. Weckesser in Fresh and Ice I stamped the banner and then used them for watercoloring.

I then colored the images with Copic markers. Except for the Gnomes outfit I paper pieced with a piece of yellow polka dot pattern paper from Lawn Fawn. 

 And here is the final card.
