A "Get Your Fingers Dirty" tutorial...

I am just loving the new Want2Scrap™ Nestaboard™ especially these new Label Twenty-Three and I am looking at new ways to use it. I wanted to show you a great way to dress them up with some fantastic mixed media products.

These are the materials we will need:
Nestaboard™
Gesso
Claudine Hellmuth Paint
Faber-Castrell Gelatos
Nestabling
Bling
Sticker
Paintbrush and Water

First add a little gesso to your Nestaboard™.


After it is dry draw some of the gelato on the Nestaboard and add water to spread the color. I used two blues, a lighter in the middle and darker on the outer edge.


After that is dry I added some paint to the paint to the edges.


Now dress it up with Labels Twenty-Three Nestabling™, Turquoise Baby Bling Rhinestones, and a sticker as the focal point.

A few details...


Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you feel like getting your hands dirty now too!

Spooky Halloween Pin or Home Decor

Good morning blogging friends! Today, I have a fun little Halloween project to share with you.
I used the Nestaboard™ Sprightly Sprockets by Donna Salazar and embellished them with paint, die cuts and bling to make a fun & spooky Halloween pin.

But if you don't want to wear this as a pin you can pin it to a black ribbon and create a a little mini home decor wall hanging.


I painted the largest and smallest sprockets using Black and Bronze ECO-Friendly Acrylic Paint from Eco Green Crafts. For the medium sprocket I used Echo Park Apothecary Emporium Collection designer paper and S5-048 Sprightly Sprockets from Spellbinders to cut/emboss perfectly matching shapes. Then I added some Halloween die cuts using S4-280 Halloween Fences Scenes and Shapes (Crow) and S4-282 Witches Brew (Boot) from
Spellbinders. I added Baby Bling Red Rhinestones to the eyes on the skull and the crow.


Here is a close up of the boot and I added 72 Count Light Green Rhinestones. I also added 72 Count Purple Rhinestones going around the largest sprocket.


To create the rose I used old book pages, S5-050 Rose Creations and Tattered Angels Popsicle Glimmer Mist.


For a little sparkle I added Pralines & Cream Fairy Dust Glitter.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and a creative day!!

Hugs,

Small but Mighty!

Hi everyone! Today I am here to talk a little bit about leftovers, card casserole, craft supply stew! ;) You know, the bits and pieces of pretty papers and embellishments we all have little piles of. Supplies too useful to get rid of. I thought I'd share a recent mini card making session I had using leftover papers and the smallest Nestabling™ frames in three packages. I laid small clear stamp images over my packages of Nestabling™ to see what would fit best in each shape. These simple cards are great to have on hand for the many birthday celebrations of my daughters' friends.

Many times I use the larger frames on my cards or on scrapbook pages and I find that the smaller sizes are great to frame little images you want to give some extra WOW to.

This cute icecream cone from My Cute Stamp is positively radiant with her 72 Count - Black Rhinestones - Self Adhesive rhinestone eyes and Nestabling Labels Two Red Rhinestones.

Strawberries don't get any sweeter than this glitter sugared strawberry from Wilson Designs framed up with Nestabling Labels Nine Purple Rhinestone and a matching purple bling taken from one of the larger frames.

And finally this cupcake, another beauty from Wilson Designs, is perfect with it's 72 Count - Red Rhinestones - Self Adhesive "cherry" on top and framed out with the soft spoken Nestabling Classic Diamonds Lavender Pearl frame.

The formula is simple...one small Nestabling frame plus accent bling from Want2Scrap™added to stamped and glittered images and adhered to a folded Long Classic Scalloped Rectangles LG nestabilities cut topped with paper scraps. Ta daaaa! Simple gift package cards!

Big Scalloped Circles Christmas Album - Debbie Seyer October Guest Designer

Good morning blogging friends! Today, I am excited to share a beautiful Christmas Album created by Debbie Seyer, our Guest Designer for the month of October. If you missed our first post introducing Debbie please click HERE to read it and see more beautiful samples of her art work.


Debbie used the Big Scalloped Circles Grand Chipboard Album from Want2Scrap™ and Teresa Collins Christmas Home 6 x 6 Paper Pad Collection to cover the album. The Big Scalloped Circles Grand Chipboard Album matches perfectly with Spellbinders™ LF-249 Grand Big Scalloped Circles. I love all of the different patterns and layers of paper!


Debbie used the 72 Count Black Rhinestones to embellish the Lacey Circles die cut. She created a fantastic medallion and trimmed it with red tinsel like trim--love the sparkle!


Here Debbie layers the lacey and scalloped oval die cuts and added some Nestabling™ for a finishing touch. She made a wonderful keepsake to preserve her family memories of Christmas 2011 for years to come.

Sisterhood

Good morning..Karen Taylor here today to with you a happy October to you.

I hope you are enjoying fall weather.
I know I am loving the cooler temperatures and the leaves changing color.

For my Want2Scrap™ project today I am celebrating sisterhood!

“A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.” ~Marion C. Garretty

I started my layout with Simple Stories Elementary collection and cut Spellbinders™ Paper Arts: Stars Nestabilities® die templates using Grand Calibur™ die cut machine. I cut my background paper to 11 1/2 x 11/1/2, inked the edges and stapled to a 12 x 12 piece of kraft paper.

I then glued the die cut star to Nestaboard™ Stars Five,

Inked with ECO Green: Ink Walnut and embellished with Nestabling™ Star Five Silver and Bling: 72 Count - Silver Rhinestones - Self Adhesive and finished off the the layout with the layered and “blinged” stars.

I then die cut using Spellbinders™ Paper Arts: Grand Calibur™ die cut machine Donna's Alphas Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities® the word “SISTERS” . Inked them and embellished with Want2Scrap™: Bling: 72 Count - Silver Rhinestones - Self Adhesive.

In the cookies of life, sisters are the chocolate chips. ~Author Unknown

She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child. ~Barbara Alpert
