FUNdamentals technique sampler: a snowman card

This is one of the cards I made for the FUNdamentals class, to show the techniques I taught in the past few classes like edge and ink distressing, blending(colors), tearing, heat embossing among some others.

The cute snowman is part of a (very) fun stamp set from CTMH, which you can "dress" it with different mittens, scarves or other accessories. This set was a popular set from last winter and now is back to be featured in current idea book.

The cardstock color is pacifica and patterned paper is the from the new set called Magnifique(CTMH).

All supplies are from CTMH.

Have a great day!

Stamping can be so much fun with countless projects possibilities, and depending on the ink type you have many choices of surfaces to work with and different and artistic options to color your images...go creative!!

Supplies:

papers, stamp, embossing powder, stamp pad, brad (CTMH), watercolor pencil set(artistic loft-Michaels), COPIC markers, Stazon (Tsukineko), transparency sheet (Office Max)

CTMH recipe box in "Magnifique" style

Good morning!

The box project you see here is made with the new CTMH My Creations (recipe box).

I used the Winter new paper collection - Magnifique (featuring the Pacifica/blue and Chocolate shades), this set of patterned papers are so gorgeous!

I love when the paper colors and motifs are universal - I mean, you can use for a wide variety of purposes and for both masculine or feminine themed projects. This is one of those sets.

All supplies used for the box are from CTMH, as sample of my upcoming FUNdamentals classes.

Thanks for visiting me today!

book page made bloom

Here you see some of the paper flowers I made from book pages.

It is a beautiful way to create my own embellishments out of the colors I really like.

These delicate little ones (approx. .75 inch) are just the right size for my handmade cards or scrapbook layouts, decorating corners or accentuating borders.

Supplies:

old book pages

craft buttons and thread

(my spare time)

Wish you a happy day!

my FUNdamentals Classes

Hello,

Recently I started to teach the FUNdamentals Technique (T1).

I created the class curriculum based on some of the most used techniques for paper crafting, with extension to Scrapbooking and Card Making and thinking about both beginner and even people who already do scrapbook or handmade cards.

I believe it is always a good thing to see and review the techniques to help fellow enthusiasts learn and get to know how fun and versatile some of these can be.

I created this sampler board featuring the techniques discussed during the first class.

Supplies:

patterned paper, cardstock, blender pen, stamps, ink pads, scoring tool, Liquid Glass, Liquid Applique, Glitter Glitz (CTMH), Adirondack Alcohol Ink(Ranger), punch(Marvy Ushida), dry embossing pad( Fiskars ), vellum, glossy paper , mesh template(miscellaneous).

Thanks for stopping by!

So many ideas, so little time

With so many things going on right now, I wish I could organize better my "own" time to craft more and to sparkle more fun ideas for the projects.

Little time, lots of ideas. Inspirations here and there.

Then I found out that making these handmade embellishments can help keep track of my creative outlet. Without taking too long or spending an entire evening.

I enjoy the outcome of these little - simple - cute accents made "fresh" from what I already have in my stash.

Supplies:

stamps(CTMH, inkadinkado), patterned paper and cardstock(CTMH, DCWV, K & Company), felt flowers (American Crafts), punchies(from Marvy Ushida, MS., Karl), brads (Making Memories ) vellum, plastic lace, tag, felt leaves, buttons(miscellaneous).

Thanks for visiting!
