Making A Bullet Journal With Susan K. Weckesser House Stamps

Last year my daughter made a bullet journal that she loves.

She was convinced that I would love it too so she sent me all sorts of pins and pictures so I could see what she was talking about.

She used hers and loved it.

So I decided to give it a go this year too.

She used a graph paper notebook but I did not want to go buy something to do this so I used an extra notebook I picked up at Michael's on clearance.

I used a page from an old reader's digest book to stamp my images.

I wanted a matte finish so American's Decou-Page from DecoArt was the perfect adhesive.

I used it to stick a piece of  Color Burst Paper on the cover.

Before I stuck the paper on, I added a piece of ribbon to use as a book marker.

Once it was dry, I scuffed the edges with a bit of sandpaper.

I fussy-cut the houses and glued them on, stamped a sentiment and sealed the whole cover with DecouPage.

Done!

Love it!

I stamped each of the inside pages for some fun color/design.

I am going to love using this to keep myself organized!

Supplies needed:

Hardcover notebook

Colorburst Paper

Scissors

Markers

Ribbon

ColorBox Color Pop Premium Dye Ink by Susan K. Weckesser

Heartful Homes Stamp Set

Let It Snow

Hello friends. It is the season for giving. I love making cards year round and sending them to my family and friends. This time of year is my favorite. I have a passion for Christmas cards. I guess you can say it is my favorite holiday.
Today I am using this absolutely fun little snowman.

This is "One of a Kind Winter"

I stamped the image on a piece of watercolor paper using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I then used my Sakura Koi watercolors to color the image. I used a couple different shades of blue and gray for the background and then just a red and green for the hat and scarf.

I did add some glitter with a glitter pen to his hat and scarf you just can't tell from the picture.

I have already started making some tags for some homemade baking goods and I plan on using this stamp as well. I just love him.

I hope you enjoy your week. Have a wonderful rest of your day.

Merry Christmas Gift Bag

Hi everyone,  Steph Ackerman here today finalizing last minute Christmas projects.

I love giving gifts in hand made gift bags and wanted to create something special.  Using a variety of stamps and stencils, it's easy and fun to create the perfect gift bags.

Using a white gift bag, I inked The Crafter's Workshop Vineyard stencil with ColorBox Crafter's Ink for Ann Butler in Evergreen.  The large sized stencil make it possible to ink the entire bag without moving the stencil.

 

 

Die cutting red and green ovals, I placed them in the center of the gift bag, then used the Crafter's Workshop North Star stencil with Art Anthology Frost Sorbet on the red oval.  This provided some nice dimension.

 

 

To finish, I stamped and fussy cut the house from the Unity Little Haven stamp set on Beautiful Daydreams pattern paper and the clouds from the Unity Fly Away stamp set on white cardstock.  Reindeers were added to the roof with foam adhesives, and Stickles were placed on one reindeer's nose and the roof line of the house.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Merry Christmas.

Celebrate the Simple Things

Good morning friends. Larissa here with a Christmas tag using Susan K Weckesser's 

"Celebration of Simple". 

I started off stamping 3 of the four banner triangles onto a piece of white 100 lb cardstock. Two using black ink and one using red. I then colored them using my Copic markers. 

G05, G07, G28 and R25, R27. 

I then took my glittery gellyroll pen and went around the circles and added some dots here and there. I added some Christmas twine and gold ribbon to the top and finished it with a bow.
I punch small gold glitter circles and added them with a few red sequins.
I stamped the sentiment from the set with red ink and cut it apart.
 

A simple tag for a Big Celebration happening soon.
Have a wonderful rest of your Tuesday friends and don't forget to check back to see what our amazing Design Team creates this week.

Thinking Of You

Today I am popping in with a quick and easy Susan K Weckesser project I made. Our theme this month is gifts for special people. So I decided to make a small banner with some fun products.
Let me apologize first for my pictures, I am not able to hang the banner like it will be displayed so I could take pictures.

Banner #3

The Garden Whatnot Collection

 A Little Grunge Love

I used kraft card stock paper to stamp my tags with a blue ink and just left them uncolored .Next I stamped the hearts in red and covered with liquid glass.

 I received some fabulous products to use for this design team project

Decorative Clothespins White 

 Canvas Shape - Flag

 Solid Navy on Ivory paper

Navy and Ivory dots paper

Hemp Rope Natural 

 Tattered Angels glimmer mist Jack Frost

 I used a chicken wire  stencil for the background and used the glimmer mist for color.
Next I die cut a chicken wire pattern out of the solid paper and then layered an oval out of the dot paper.
Just added the tag and hearts with the clothespins.
Can't wait to share this with a friend.

Faith Is The Bird Mixed Media Canvas

Hi Susan K. Weckesser fans! Dana here today sharing an uplifting bird themed canvas. I had a blast mixing different media and mediums to created this tactile piece.

To build the background, I first covered the canvas with a brightly patterned piece of tissue paper that I then toned down with a light coat of gesso. I added texture with The Crafter's Workshop Beaded Curtain Stencil and some whipped spackle. I sprayed the canvas with Tattered Angels Plain Jane Fresh Orange Mist to add a burst of color and then stamped around the edge of the canvas with a stamp from the Susan K. Weckesser A Little Bit Washi Stamp Set.

I cut a vibrant yellow sun from a piece of Live In Color patterned paper and topped it with a piece of coiled Canvas Corp. Orange Hemp Rope. I finished the canvas with colorful flowers and ribbon.

If you'd like to explore the exciting world of mixed media art sign up for the Big Picture Classes Mixed Media Studio Workshop. Artsy all-star Susan K. Weckesser will share an exclusive project, a video of a featured technique and step-by-step instructions to help you complete a project.

Create to Live Journal Page

Good morning everyone! Larissa here with you today to share my journal page.

Today I decided to do a two page journal entry instead of just one.

I started by taking some modeling paste and layering it in different areas

of the pages using a couple of different stencils from The Crafter's Workshop.

Once that dried I sprayed two different colors of spray ink on the top and bottom of the page.

I then stamped my favorite Gnome on a piece of white 110 lb card stock and colored him using 

my Copic markers.

I added a couple pieces of pattern paper to each page. I then stamped some Washi Tape right over the top of the spray ink.

I love this saying and had to add to my page. 

After coloring my little Gnome I decided to draw some white stars on him. 

I cut him out and adhered him to the journal page with some liquid adhesive.

I decided to do some doodling around both pages. 

Hope you enjoyed today's post. I will have a list of all supplies used at the end of my post.

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.

See you next time.
