Crash Your Stash- The Outlawz

Hi fellow crafters! We have an awesome new Crash Your Stash Challenge over at the Outlawz! 

The purpose of this Challenge is to encourage you to use those items that are no longer trending and probably stashed away in a drawer. Forgotten and alone. So, we are here to help inspire you to dig those items out and bring them new life! This month's challenge is Chipboard!

Come play along with us!

FEBRUARY - CUE: Chip board - This can be shapes, words, letters etc

PRIZE: Recipe Cards

Now take a look at what I made using chipboard:

My first step was to take some very thin chipboard that I had in my stash (for a long time....), and cut out some cogs with my Silhouette. I needed to make them look more realistic, and rustic, like they had been there on the side of a road somewhere...or anywhere, for that matter....so I took each piece and pressed them into VersaMark and then heat embossed Ultra Thick Embossing Powder. I did that at least twice (usually 3 times). This way it hardens up the piece and gives it a bit of a shine.

I then took different pastes of various colors (green, rusty red, etc) that had the look of patina and rust. All of mine were from Art Alchemy (Prima). After I got the results I wanted, I then took Kraft cardstock and used it as a foundation for my card.

My dilemma? What color of paper to mount on top of the Kraft paper, so I can mount my cogs on. You'd think that would be easy, but then it hit me....Green! A dark green would be perfect (anyway, that's what I was thinking...lol). So I mounted the green on the Kraft, and then mounted the cogs on top of the green. I added a bow and strung twine around the edge, then added my sentiment.

I hope that you enjoyed this and that it will give you inspiration to use some of your chipboard stash! And thank you for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges - Love is in the Air (Add a Heart)

Hello, crafters! A new challenge has begun over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenges! This fortnight the challenge is: Love is in the Air (Add a Heart)

Our awesome sponsors for this challenge are:

Sparkle N Sprinkle

Prize ~ $15 Gift Certificate

LeAnn's World 101

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

I absolutely love my image! Here is my card for this challenge, Birdie from LeAnn's World 101 (link above).

This card is a pretty simply made card, and in order to add a heart, I decided to use some heart lace I had in my stash for some time. I love it, but just didn't really know where to use it. But I felt it was perfect for this challenge! I used my Prismacolors to color the image, and some papers I had in my stash.

I hope that you will join in on the challenge! Great sponsors and great prizes to be given!

Thank you for stopping by!

The Outlawz Color Challenge - February 12, 2019

Hi, fellow crafters! I'm so glad you dropped in! Today begins a new challenge over at The Outlawz Color Challenge! And for this challenge, we have the amazing Imagine That Digistamp as our sponsor! (And they currently have a sale going on!)

Imagine That Digistamp

Prize: $12 gift certificate

Blog: http://imaginethatdigistamp.blogspot.com/

Digi Store: http://www.imaginethatdigistamp.com

Here is our board picked by fellow team member, Ursula:

As you can see, the board has one main color for you to use, so you can pick at least 2 other colors for your project. AND....the twist is make your own background! Here is what I did:

The image is called January Carnation by Imagine That Digistamp. To make my own background, I printed off on my laser printer a piece of white cardstock with black and white colors. I then took some Gina K Designs Sparkling Silver foil and placed it on top of the black and white, ran it through my laminator, and Ouila! I had a new background full of colors! I then layered everything together, coloring my image with Prismacolors.

I hope that you will join us for this challenge! And thank you for stopping by!

A little Bio about our Sponsor:

Gecko Galz is a digital craft products shop that was started by a group of paper artist and designers who wanted products that they could not find anywhere else.

The idea of Gecko Galz came to fruition in 2012 when they opened their shop on Etsy and since then have offered hundreds of products, ideas and classes to others world wide.
