Rustic Gears Layout by Tracy McLennon

June 2, 2017 5 Comments

I have wanted to create this layout for some time. This photo was the inspiration. The young man on the left hand side is my Dad, and is you look closely he’s holding a bunny in his ball glove. I am so glad that I waited until I had the Tim Holtz for Ranger Distress Oxide Inks to play with. Here is how I added the rust like colouring to the background and the largest rusty photo mat. I used watercolour paper and Ranger Distress Oxide Inks to create this rust like background. To do this you need a non stick craft mat. Stamp the ink directly onto the craft mat, spray with water and mix with your fingers. Then dip the paper into the ink/water mixture. Dry with a heat gun. Then do the same with the next colour of ink. Dry again with a heat gun. Do the…

Art Journaling with Stabilo and Nicole Wright

May 30, 2017 1 Comment

Hello, Nicole here and I am so excited to share my new journal pages using Stabilo. I was sent a set of Woody 3 in 1 pencils to create with. These are new to me so I was very curious how they would handle my love of watercoloring. They far surpassed my expectations! They are smooth to put on these old pages, creamy enough to blend and don’t washout when watercoloring. Check out my quick and easy tutorial for stamping and watercoloring with Stabilo Woody 3 in 1 pencils.I prepared my old book pages with Ranger’s Clear Gesso. Once dry I stamped the Garden Flower stamps randomly then started adding colour with the Stabilo Woody pencils. You can easily move the colour around by smearing with your fingers.This is my first time so I wanted to try the pencils in different ways. I tried blending and they blend beautifully. Watercoloring…

Hey Creative Scrapbooker Fans! With the weather finally changing outside, there seems to be more inspiration from nature, I thought it would be fun to create a spring project.

Make sure to grab a cup of your favourite beverage, as I show you how to recreate my Spring Window in the comforts of your own home.To start, you’ll need the Stand Up Window Kit from Southern Ridge Trading Company. In this kit, you’ll receive the wood base, the wood stand up piece, a rock stencil with the window portion blank and the window with shutters and decorative top piece. Place the stand up piece on…

Creative Memories Woodland Whimsy Fast2Fab Album

May 28, 2017 1 Comment

Hello, Connie Nichol here to show you one of Creative Memories predesigned albums, Woodland Whimsy Baby Boy. It is gorgeous and makes memory keeping so easy. All the design work has already been done, so basically you just add photos and journalling and embellish as desired. Here’s a two page spread I did in a matter of minutes. I’ll take you through the process so you can see how easy it is. Here’s the album cover. Isn’t it cute? The album comes with 16 pre-printed double sided pages. Here’s the one I worked with – I selected six 4×6 photos and placed them on the designated spaces. (I added one black and white photo just for fun). Cute, but I wanted to ad some more oomph, so I started by matting some of the photos with cards from the Woodland Whimsy Mat Pack. These were the perfect size and colours…

Tuesday with the Team with Cathie Allan

May 23, 2017 2 Comments

HELLO SUMMER! Hey everyone, – Cathie Allan here – thought I would share with you a totally fun and easy card that you can create in the wee hours of the morning. Why? … in the “wee hours of the morning?” ….. well, because, it is May 23rd and it is behaving like summer outside so we NEED to spend “some” of our “crafting time” in our gardens and on our deck. I used totally “doable” stamping techniques to create a fun, shape card that “wanted to be a slider card”. The background was simply stamped using a wonderful solid, daisy stamp from Impression Obsession and two fabulous pigment colors from Clearsnap. Since it was pigment ink, I was able to stamp the darker, Antique Pewter images first and then stamp the lighter, Buttercup images on top of the dark color. Pigment ink allows me to do this and I…
