Small Packages Tied Up With Ribbon!

Good morning!  Sherry here again this week and I have a couple of things to share today.  Over the last week, I’ve been working on some mixed media pieces using the Spellbinders Media Mixage line.  I shared some on my blog the other day, but I wanted to share one here with you today!

I used the Spellbinders™ Media Mixage™, Rectangles Two for this piece, along with UTEE and lots of beads.  The UTEE and coral additive made unique designs within the bezel.

I’m planning on giving these pieces as Christmas gifts to some members of my family, and while I’m always hoarding little boxes, I’m afraid that I might not have enough on hand.  I decided that to solve my problem of “not enough little boxes” I would make my own gift boxes.

The template and tutorial for this mini pizza box can be found here on Splitcoaststampers.  I use this template as the basis for the box, but I do like to add a band that goes around the box to hold it closed.  A strip of white paper was cut and formed loosely around the box, basically to get the folds.  Once I have the folds marked I scored them so that the band will bend easily.  

The small snowflake from Those We Love Are the Snowflakes was stamped randomly around the box (before it was glued together) in white.  The sentiment on the tag is from Christmas is the Day was stamped in sepia and then die cut/embossed, and layered using Spellbinders Ovals.

The box is the perfect size to hold small gifts.

Oh and by the way, the ribbon was dyed with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink.

That’s it for me today!  If you need any small gift boxes, I hope you give these a try!

Welcome Little One Card Two

Hello Crafty Peeps! Terre Fry here  and do I have a treat for you today! Just look at this cute, cute, cute baby card! This is the new baby stamp set "Welcome Little One" from Quietfire Designs.

I used Copic Markers to color in the moon and the stars and airbrushed the center die cut with blue and added foam square to pop it up off the center.

I created a baby rattle using Spellbinders newest Media Mixage line of products call the Circle Bezel Hat Pin, added a few beads and there  you have it, a hand made rattle with an adorable paper photo inside. Thank you for stopping by  most blog post today, I hope you have enjoyed my creativity. Have a wonderful day. Terre

Garden Delights Mixed Media Tag!

Good morning!  Sherry here with you today and I have a mixed media tag to share that was absolute fun to create.

I read about a gesso resist technique that I decided to try on this tag.  Using an old gift card, I scraped gesso along the surface of the tag applying light pressure and changing directions.  The gesso dried very quickly (which meant there was hardly any wait time for this inpatient artist).  Broken China and Wild Honey Distress Stains were added over the gesso, and water was misted over the stains to blend the colors over the tag.  (The bright white spots on the tag are the gesso.)

Before adding anything else to the background white ink was sprayed over the tag using a stencil created from chipboard using  Spellbinders® Grateful Lattice.   The heart was another stencil created from chipboard using Spellbinders Classic Hearts.  The stencil was taped to the tag with painters tape and Barn Door Distress Ink was added with a stencil brush.

The flower stem was made using a stencil and adding embossing paste that had been tinted with Peeled Paint Distress Ink Refill.  The flower itself was watercolor paper die cut/embossed with Spellbinders Jewel Flower and Flourishes.  The flower was colored with Wild Honey and Barn Door Distress Stain, with some highlights of Wild Honey paint.  Once assembled, the flower was misted with a red ink spray to bring to bring out the red tones.

The sentiment from Garden Delights was stamped in Adirondack Pitch Black Pigment and embossed with clear.

The ribbon was dyed with Barn Door Distress Ink.   The ribbon embellishment is the smallest circle bezel from the Spellbinders Media Mixage line.  A bee was die cut from Graphic 45 Olde Curiosity Shoppe paper with the Media Mixage Circles One and placed in the bezel.  For some reason I couldn’t find my melting pot, so I dropped some UTEE into the bezel and began heating it with my heat gun.  While the UTEE was still hot, I continued to add more UTEE until I had the bezel filled.

Thanks for joining me today!
