Altered Tissue Box

Today, is a very different post than I usually do.

I have had a wood tissue box for AGESSSS! I mean ages!

I also had papers from Kaisercraft Craft a noon. I wanted to use it for cards so I cut it up into 14.4 x 10cm. I regretted it only because I do a variety of different projects. If you were a card making only it would of been fine. But for me it wasn't a good choice. They would of been awesome for an album... but... doesn't matter. We use what we have and make it work.

I had alot of cut-a-part elements, large pieces (which I used in this project) and smaller ones as well. The collectables have something for everyone, knitting, sewing, painting... Then I had alot of scraps to play with as well, so really the scraps were very useful as I didn't have odd shapes to try to incorporate. It took some of the decision out of the process , it worked out well.

This project is very simply in regards to work.I had already cut everything out, quite a while ago and the Collectables (ephemera, Kaisercraft called them Collectables) So it was literally decided where to put it and plonk it down. No extra sponging or cutting out. You can be I had elements I just wanted to use it up.

I do hope you enjoyed my project.

CASE me a Christmas Card

Today I am joining my friend Michelle Lupton in her challenge CASE Me a Christmas Card. You can check out the card I CASE here

Recipe:

Crealies Stencil CLMM27

Distress Oxide Ink-

Aged Mahogany

Barned Door

Abandoned Coral

Clear Embossing Powder

Ranger Emboss It Dabber

Versamark Embossing Ink

0.3 Copic Multiliner Pen

Taylor Expressions Simple Strips Christmas

Stickles Star Dust

I made a mark on the top and bottom of a 14.4 x 10cm panel at 3cm then 7.2cm down the right hand side. I masked this off with painters tape- delicate surface.

The stencil I used doesn't have a name just the code but it looked the most like little Christmas baubles. I didn't have red embossing powder so I used Distress Oxides. I need to try this with other embossing powders!

Once the ink was blended I used the Dabber first but my area was too big for it so I put out the big guns and used Versamark. After the clear embossing powder was applied and melted I used the Multiliner to add 2 thin lines to frame the embossing.

I used a T ruler to make sure the sentiment is straight and applied the Stickles to some of the 'baubles'

I hope you like my card and you can check out the video here.

Peaceful Peonies

Today I decided to have a play with some ephemera. I was going to use the paper off it too but I got lost in the ephemera.

The Collection is called Peaceful Peonies by Couture Creations. I got this set a little while ago and I'm slowly working thru actually playing with my goodies. So I hope you get some ideas with this post.

It is a very pink set which isn't something I use too much but I challenged myself.
