Mojo Monday 266

Hey all!

I'm here to share a fun little card I made based on a sketch from this week's Mojo Monday entry. I also used a few new sets of mine that are up in my Etsy shop.

Here is the sketch I used:

And here is my take on it:

The owls are from my "Snowy Owl" set which was another collaboration between my sister and I.

 I printed everything and then cut the pieces with my Silhouette. The snowflake paper and sentiment are from another owl set called "Winter Owls". The berries are glittered with diamond glaze and ArtC glitter my husband bought me as a stocking stuffer for Christmas last year (A man that buys me glitter? *swoon*). I added a rhinestone to the sentiment for a little sparkle and then finished it off with a dupioni silk ribbon bow. 

Here are the full sets that I used:

Also, I have been experimenting with printing on vintage book pages using some of my vintage flower and fruit illustrations and did these pieces for my boss to hang in her home.

Won't these be just gorgeous framed and hung side by side? It was super easy to do, I just taped the vintage book page in the middle of a piece of copy paper (make sure your tape isn't too sticky or it will tear the paper) and ran it through my inkjet printer.

Thats all for now, thanks for dropping by and be sure to enter this week's Mojo Monday contest!

Images/Sets used:

- little owls, branch: "Snowy Owls"
- sentiment, snowflake paper: "Winter Owls"

Sihouette Sketch Challenge

Hey All!

I'm here today to share a little Silhouette project with you that I made using the sketch over at the Silhouette Blog.

I created this card using my Showers and Flowers clipart set. You can get the set as a .svg file which you can then easily manipulate in Silhouette Studio. I used a tag and border shape from the Silhouette store and then made my own washi shape by just taking a rectangle and giving it some ragged edges using the knife tool. Then I filled it with some cute paper from my Carnival Stripes Collection.

 I printed the sentiment and dotted white line on the tag and cut everything out. The tag, cloud, and star were popped up with pop dots and then I added a touch of sparkle on the star with diamond glaze and Martha Stewart glitter. The whole thing was super easy thanks to my Silhouette!

Ingredients:

- cardstock: Conqueror
- Sentiment,  cloud: Showers and Flowers by TanglesTreasures
- Patterned Paper: Carnival Stripes by TanglesTreasures
- Tag, Border: Silhouette Store
- extras: vintage ribbon, diamond glaze, Martha Stewart Glitter

BBTB2 Breast Cancer Awareness

Hey All!

Today I'm here with a really  meaningful challenge from BBTB2.  The challenge this week is to create a project reflecting the fact that October is breast cancer awareness month. My personal challenge to you would be to create a project specifically for someone you know who has struggled with this disease or maybe is currently fighting it. Let them know that you are thinking of them and how they have inspired you. I created a little notecard and I apologize in advance for the photos, my husband and I just moved into a new condo (yipee for my own craft room!) and I haven't unpacked my photostudio yet : ). I used the bra cut from the Forever Young cartridge to make a shaped card. The paper print is from my Adelaide Collection (scroll down to the bottom of the post for a freebie!) which is no longer available in my Etsy shop.

The flower and leaves I made using Martha Stewart air dry clay, which is my new favorite crafting tool. The stuff is magic and you just push the light fluffy clay into the silicone molds, pop them out, let them dry and you end up with an endless supply of gorgeous little embellishments which can be painted and in this case, dusted with some shimmer powder and  coated with diamond glaze to give them a shimmery shiny finish. If you haven't seen this stuff I highly recommend looking it up. The dried embellishments are flexible and have the consistency of foam, which makes them perfect for paper projects.

 

Be sure to check out the BBTB2 blog to see the other lovely designers' work and enter the challenge! Also, here is the lacy digital paper I used for the project. You can click on it to bring up the larger picture and download it download to use in your digital scrapbooking or papercrafting projects.

New Etsy shop!

Hey All!

I have recently started another Etsy shop but have been so busy with it that I haven't even had time to write about it! It is similiar to my first shop except I'm focusing entirely on individual vintage graphics and graphic collages. The shop is called Tangle's Graphics and you will find the link on the left side of my blog near the top. These images are designed for crafters and are formatted to print easily on an 8.5x11 sheets of paper. They can be used to print on fabric or burlap for home decor or can be used as image transfers onto fabric, wood, linen, burlap, clothing, or almost any other material!

I have over 200 designs so far but here are just a few:

 

To celebrate the launch I'm giving away one of my graphics, this gorgeous French Chandelier design:

I hope you all have fun with this new shop, stay tuned for more giveaways in the future! Also, I am working on processing literally thousands of images from my collection of vintage graphics so if you are looking for a particular image for a project, just let me know and I will do what I can.
