Woodware and White Rose Crafts

Hello! I've got a simple little card for you today that features a sweet stamp from Woodware. This week, the White Rose Crafts team is featuring creations using Woodware products. My card uses the Woodland Elements stamp set. I'll actually have another card featuring a different stamp from this set later in the month.

I stamped the image with VersaFine Clair Ink in Nocturne, and then did some very basic coloring with my Zig Clean Color Markers. It only took a few minutes to color this image in. I fussy cut it out, then started to look through my 6" x 6" paper pads. White Rose Crafts has a ton of paper pad option, and I like the 6" x 6" pattern sizes. This paper is from the Altair Art "Ever Dream" paper collection. It's a double sided set of cardstock, so that little pink strip under the image is actually the reverse side of the blue!

Using patterned cardstock from one collection is a great way to speed up your paper crafting process. It's fun to pull patterns from different collections and brands, but for a quick fix, using one cohesive collection is definitely a time saver. Even if I only did use a teeny little strip along with my large background paper. I also added just a few sequins from the "Conversation Hearts" Sparkle Blend, which I adhered with On Point Glue from Imagine. My sentiment is from a Lawn Fawn stamp set.

I really like using this Woodware stamp set because the images are easy to work with, and help you to create sweet cards. Again, I'll have another card featuring this set later in the month, and it has a very different look. I hope you'll come back to check it out. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Deco Art and Andy Skinner Hop

This is a very exciting week for the Stampendous team! We are hanging out with the ultra cool Deco Art Mixed Media team, each using each other's products to share some incredible creations with you. These companies go hand in hand, so using each other's products is easy. And the results are amazing. We are of course featuring Andy Skinner's stamps, who is the DecoArt International Education Coordinator. And yup, there are prizes! But I want you to go to the Stampendous Blog for all of that info. The link is at the bottom of the post. Now, on to my project. I made a cool wall hanging today. I started off with a piece of MDF and I drilled 2 holes, and covered it with DecoArt's white Gesso. After it dried, I used Andy's Alcohol and Media fluid Acrylics Layering Technique. You can check out his how-to video HERE . Needless to say, it's a great technique, and I loved doing it. Once I finished with the aforementioned technique, I sealed the piece w

Changes

Greetings! I don't have a project to share with you today, but rather, an announcement. I have decided to completely revamp my blog, and move it to a new site. I've been blogging at 21st Century Pillow Book for over 10 years now, and it's been wonderful. But the "Pillow Book" aspect got lost somewhere along the way. If you don't know what that is, read my description in the blog header, or do a quick search. They are really very cool. Anyway, I thought it was due time for me to work on a new blog, more of a brand, etc. So, I invite you to now join me over at alisonheikkila.com . I've still got some polishing up to do, and a whole lot of learning, as WordPress is completely different from Blogger, but I am really excited for this new site. I've wanted to do this for a long time, and I am happy to finally be getting it done. Bear with me as I figure out the best way to make it all look and flow. I thankfully have some help with that. But I think you
