Inspired By: Autumn Colors - Happy Fall Card

Hi CIP fans! Dana here today sharing a fall themed card for the Autumn Colors Challenge this week. I love patterned paper, so I chose a pretty leaf print and highlighted the design with several colors of Creative Inspirations paint.

I used Burnt Clay, Chocolate, Copper, Emerald, Rustic Red and Sunshine paint to help some of the leaves shine. I added some Clear Jeweled Inspirations for a little extra sparkle.

I made a pair of resin leaves with the NEW Resinesence and then painted them with Raw Sienna and Rustic Red paint.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Painted Glass Sun Catcher

Hi CIP fans! Dana here today sharing a quick and fun project for the "Anything Goes" challenge theme this week. Summer is almost over and I'm hanging on to the sunny days for as long as I can! To help capture the rays and bring them into my home, I altered this sun catcher. The Creative Inspirations Paint that I used with one of my favorite floral stamp sets really captures the light. This small piece has helped to brighten my space in a big way!

I used a black permanent ink to stamp the Black Eyed Susan design onto a piece of glass. My piece of glass was not a flat surface, so I did not use a stamping block.

I then painted the stamped image with Creative Inspirations Paint in Chocolate, Copper, Emerald, Green Olive, Ivory, Mango, Onyx and Sunshine.

I twisted a piece of wire around the glass to make a hanger for my sun catcher and added beads to finish.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope I have inspired you to use your paints on something other than paper.

Bella Sun Kiss

Hello everyone, and Happy Tuesday to all!!!

Today I am sharing a card I designed for Creative Inspiration Paints using the beautiful shimmery paints.

On my card I used Green Olive and Evergreen for the Bella Leafy Branch. Next for the Bella Spring Corners and the Bella Butterfly bottom Layer I used the Chocolate CIP's. For the 2 velum layers I used Buttercup and Sky Blue on the edges of the butterflies. I love the beautiful look this gives to my card. Its really hard to see in the photo's, I did try to take different shots. If you CLICK on the photo you will be able to enlarge it and see better :)

 All die cuts are CottageCutz Bella Release, and design paper used is Prima's Sun Kiss collection! I added some sewing, and some Satin Really Reasonable Ribbon to complete my card.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

hugs to all,

Cheryl

Glittery Speckled Eggs

Hi CIP fans! Dana here today sharing a fun Spring decor piece. I picked up this small nest for practically nothing and had a lot of fun embellishing. The original eggs were plain white plastic and in need of some shimmery texture and color.

 

I first added a coat of Resplendence Angel Dust Glitter to the eggs.  Once dry, I used a toothbrush to add specks of color in Sky Blue, Mellow Yellow and Chocolate.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

CIP's Pennie Pockets/Video

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with 2 Pennie Pockets I created for Creative Inspiration Paints. I LOVE using the Paints & Embossing Powders on my projects.

For this 1st Pennie Pocket I used CIP's Paints in Tutu Pink & Chocolate to give some shimmer to my flowers. I also added a tad bit of Resplendence Angel Dust

 On my next Pennie Pocket I decided to use Creative Inspiration Paints Deliquesce Gold Crystals Sparkle for my Tag. I love the look of the pretty shiny gold and the crystals that come through.

 My video shows how I used the paints and Embossing powders on my projects here.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

A Joyful Canvas

Good morning and Happy Christmas Eve to everyone! I hope you are all ready for tomorrow and are able to spend some quality time with your loved ones and friends. 

I wanted to make today's post quick since everyone is preparing for the big day tomorrow, or already in the middle of some festivities! 

Today's project is a canvas I made for my boyfriends mom, Joy. She loves Christmas, and has one of the most beautifully decorated houses I have ever seen! Since her name is Joy and ornaments and decorations with the word Joy are in abundance this time of year, she has a tree decorated entirely with Joy ornaments. Also, there are various pieces of art around the home that have the words Joy on them. Which is why I made this canvas. The Joy isn't just the word joy, it is Joyeux Noel. We don't remember her having many French phrases around the house, so I thought this would be cute. 

As you can see it has lots of Creative Inspirations Paint on it. The background, tree, tree trunk, and tree top are covered in CIP goodies! There are even some jewels on the Joyeux Noel. 

I used the following paints and jeweled inspirations on the canvas: 

Thank you so so much for stopping in today from your busy schedule!! I will see you again after the New Year!!! 

Merry Christmas!!!! 

If you would like to get some paints before the start of the new year, remember that everything in the CIP store is 10% off!!! 

CIP - Reindeer in Paint and Glitter

Hi CIP fans!  I have a trio of cards to share with you today.  These fun little reindeer die cuts are from a die that I've had for a while, and I've used some wonderful Creative Inspirations Paint in Copper to paint them.  Their hooves and antlers are painted in Chocolate, and the antlers have been glittered with Resplendence Angel Dust by Creative Inspirations Paint.  I couldn't resist adding a bit of Garnet paint to the collar, and added some of the Jeweled Inspirations (Siam and Clear) Bling to their noses and collars as well.

Creative Inspirations Products Used:

Don't forget, the 10% off sale is still going on at the Creative Inspirations Paint website through the end of the month!

Happy Holidays this Friday!

Hi there CI Paint lovers! I hope you are all doing well on this Friday. Emily here with a holiday card I created using the gorgeous CI Paints. UPDATE: I have edited the photos since this was originally posted. I woke up this morning and took new photos so you could enjoy the way this card REALLY looks!!

Today's card was created using the Gingerbread Land collection by Nikki Sivils along with Chocolate, Mint, Spring Green and Rose Quartz paints in addition to Deliquesce Fine White Embossing Powder.  

 

The close ups below show the paints and powder much better than the original. The only part of the card I used the paints on was the gingerbread girl. I decided since she was the focus of the card that I would use them on her. She looks so cute in person.:) 

Below are all of the Creative Inspirations Paint products used in the card today.

 And a reminder, currently you get 10% off of all paint products at Creative Inspirations Paint!! What a great deal to stock up on your paints or for gifts this holiday season! The sale is going on until January 1st!!!

Thank you for stopping by on this Friday! I will see you soon!
