Festive Friday #4

It's Festive Friday time again. I am again excited to bring you another amazing stamp company I found at CHA. Their stamps are really different. Beside the detail each of their stamps has - the stamps are heat resistant. This opens a lot of doors...







Supplies:
Stamp: "Santa with Notes" from LaBlance.eu
Mulberry Paper - Blue
White Cardstock
Red Crystal Lacquer
Red cardstock
cardbase
India Ink - black
Fiber-Castell Art Grip Pencils

Directions:

1)
Stamp "Santa with Notes" onto White Cardstock with Black India Ink. color in image with Art Grip Pencils - except the berry for the holly. I used my Red Crystal Lacquer for my berries... set aside so the lacquer can dry
2) Place "Santa with Notes" image onto Blue Mulberry paper. use a q-tip or paint brush and small amount of water to trace around the mulberry paper. then pull away the extra mulberry paper. this give the edges of the mulberry paper a soft look...
3) Matt onto Red cardstock, add to cardbase and you are done!

Now it's time to hop on over to Chris Hurley blog and see what she has made for us.. please remember to leave us some love.

FaveCraft Blog Hop


It's time for another great Favecraft Blog HOP! and I am just in love with Steampunk right now. So I make this tiny little steampunk book. It's just 1 1/2" x 1 1/2". Yes, it tiny... but it's so cute...

Here is the cover of my tiny book. I used glass as my covers (both front and back cover), I got this glass from Sakura.
The images are all from a Steampunk CD I have. and lots of gears and clock faces.



This is just one of the pages in my tiny book, the book only has 8 pages total...
I stamp each page with some Di Vince Stamp I own from Stampington.
The clock face are from real clocks and the spinner is Tim Holtz..
I used a snap to close my book and used one of Tim Holtz pearls to add a little more to it..


I used safety-pins and ribbon to bind my book together. I show this tiny book to lots of people at CHA and it was a hit...


This page I used gears from Tim Holtz and the clock face is also from him.... Again stamp my background with Di Vince Stamps.
You can see the snap really well in this photo.

I hope that you become a follower of mine and come back and enjoy all the other amazing project I will bring to you - some with video...

Hop on back to Favecraft and see the other amazing project they have there...

Their Stamp unite and old and new by giving feminine and romantic style to modern techniques. They have foam backing high quality silicone stamps allow not only easy stamping with minimum pressure, but amazingly exact results. They are lightweights, heat resistant and easy to clean.
