Envelope Pocket

 

Although I have had a very busy and different type of weekend. This year marks the 100th year Church Picnic for Rudolph, WI USA. I have been taking my kids to this since they were born but I also have helped with the picnic since I was 14 years old which means 16 years I have been able to participate in the lovely community event. 

About the piece I made for TTCRD. I took an envelope that was glued shut. Embossed with Silver embossing and a unbranded butterfly stamp onto a black piece of card stock. I next glue the thin pink polka dotted ribbon onto the top and bottom. I decided I should cover a butterfly that did not emboss right. I glued a piece of white card stock to cover the butterfly. I watercolored the Hetty Clare digital Flower Boot and glued it on. Lastly I cut the side and thumb punched to create the pocket.

Hedgehog Candy Decorative Folder

 I recently have been going through quite a few personal stuff going on. So I decided for my project designed for TTCRD I would try something rather basic. I took the digital Hedgehog Candy Bellyfulls made by ColourOfLoveShop. I colored for the first time with alcohol markers. I like to experiment with new things. I cut the digital out. Then I took a piece of 6 by 6 scrapbooking paper to block the area that had been written on. Then I glued the pieces onto the orange folder. Just remember it took me almost 3 hours to color because I have 2 girls who are constantly fighting now that it is summer time.

Decorative Victorian Boot Box

This project took longer than I thought due to modeling paste took way longer to dry. I used Creative Hearts digital for my design team TTCRD. I sprayed distress spray all over the box purples and blues. I added a strip of lace and some music paper.

Vintage Flowers Journal Card

 I wanted to make a simple journal card for my design team project today for TTCRD. I used a floral from Pinksydoodle. She has really pretty SVG files. If I had a cutting machine I would definitely be buying some. I grabbed an old piece of junk mail covered it with ledger paper for a background. I colored the flower digital with colored pencils. I found some word stickers and added them to the card.

Limited Edition Midnight Owl

 I decided to make a journal card today for my design team project for TTCRD. I used the digital stamp- Val from Wink Wink Ink as my main focal point. I cut some watercolor paper 6 in. by 4 in. Then I used generic alchol inks to make my background. I had some freebies I found on Pinterest to add "Limited Edition" and "No. 1." I added a home made label I made on how to make your own label video. I glued the lace at the bottom to embellish a bit more. I try to keep my pieces uneven on what is all on it .

 Yet again Through the Craft Room Door has Morgan's Art World as a sponsor. I personally love the digitals made by Morgan's Art World.  I used Vintage Cameo with this project.

Wonderland Tea Cup

 I initially feel in love with this digital made by JMC Designs. While making this for my design team project for Through the Craft Room Door I became more in love with it. I am still experimenting with embossing powder. First, I colored in the digital with Simply colored pencils. Next, I used my embossing pen to trance around and emboss with silver embossing powder. For the background I sprayed Salvage Petina and some food coloring. Then I distressed both the background and the tea cup with Walnut stain distress ink.
