by tarnished rose good morning everyone marilyn here with a quick project from our very own mama amy she has created a wonderful thank you card that i believe you will love amy please tell us how you made this beautiful bright and happy card i begin the card by laying down drywall tape as the base then layered floral washi tape from our green washi tape combo pack and aqua striped tape from our diagonal stripes washi combo pack over it next came some heidi swap neon letters and basic grey chipboard pieces lastly i inked the edges and chalked over the drywall a bit for the envelope i added chevron washi tape from the green washi tape combo pack to give me a decorative area in which to write in the mailing address this card was done for a special person whose very kindness brought tears to my eyes amy thank you for a wonderful thoughful card it s so great that you were able to repay a great kindness with one of your own anyone would be thrilled to receive the beautiful card you have created plus i love the chicken until later smiles marilyn filed under design team inspiration rak tagged cardmaking crafts decorative tape design team mixed media paper crafts paper tape washi tape 2 comments do it yourself craft mat posted on may 28 2012 by tarnished rose hello marilyn here with a cool how to from alchemist misty have you ever need something but just can t seem to make yourself part with those hard earned bucks to purchase it never fear today misty shares with us how to make one of those much longed for items a craft mat so without further ado or to do here s misty if you re like me there are things you should probably have but don t buy because you would rather spend your money on more paper inks mists etc one of the things i really needed was a craft mat but i really couldn t see spending 20 on one so i kept trying different things to get the same effect and finally stumbled upon a roll of laminate the kind you can find in hardware stores to protect drawers and shelves i has some on hand as i had just laminated a chore chart for my kiddo anyway i decided to test it out over a piece of cardboard and i was so excited to see that it worked perfectly for my needs first you find a large piece of cardboard i ve used the gauche alchemy pizza box it s the perfect size and you already have the shape lined out for you plus who wouldn t love to have their own gauche alchemy craft mat right then you use the magic cover which is just a roll of clear laminate and cut two pieces about an inch or so bigger than your cardboard piece take the first piece and slowly remove the backing off small sections at a time while laying it over your cardboard piece trying to smooth it out and prevent any bubbles or creases then once you cover the first side repeat with the opposite side the second side is a little harder because you want to make sure that you place the laminate on the cardboard without touching the sticky side of the laminate on the opposite side or you will have troubles detaching them once you have both sides laminated cut the excess around the cardboard and your mat is ready as you can see from the pictures you can use inks and mists and since its a non porous surface it has the same effect as the expensive craft mats and you are paying less than 5 for this one now i m not saying that this is just as good as a craft mat in every way for instance the ranger mat is supposedly heat resistant and this one will melt under extreme heat if your a cheap o like me though this is a perfect knock off so that you can spend your money on better things like more mists inks and glitter thank you misty for once again giving us a great how to i don t know about the rest of you but this is the perfect solution to a problem i ve been having see i love glue but i get it everywhere my nice expensive craft mat is just too big for my work area so did i give this a whirl oh yessiree yes i did i sure did i made a smaller one using misty s instructions perfection now i can glue to my heart s content and when done move the mat out of the way until later smiles marilyn filed under design team diy found inspiration tagged crafts design

loads of texture and plenty of personality gritty and gorgeous right let s see how she put this layout together misty here is a layout i made using lots of different styles of gauche punchinella to make the background i painted my cardstock and then pressed the different punchinella s in the gesso to give texture then misted away from there i used the chevron template from the crafter s workshop and and added modeling paste over it and misted it as well to embellish the page i added strips of the rectangle punchinella to the right bottom corner and some 6 petaled flower punchinella to the top left corner i matted the picture to a piece of cardboard that i covered with aluminum tape and then embossed below the pic i added a strip of ouchless cardboard backed with some lace and added large silver eyelets to the top right corner i clipped on a barrett from the blue color kit to a piece of scrap ouchless cardboard because the color didn t quite match my layout i decided to heat emboss the barret and then add some purple ink over the embossed areas i had tons of fun creating this layout and i m obsessed with all of the different punchinellas that are available to create textured backgrounds and to satisfy my need for metal on a page i am just loving the monochromatic industrial vibe to this layout that turquoise pop from the bit of lace does a fabulous job of pulling the eye in towards the picture and highlighting the subtle and not so subtle textures of course i d be totally remiss if i didn t point you towards the gauche alchemy punchinella variety pack so you could try out your own take on this layout until next time scraps filed under design team scrapbooking tagged design team grunge metal mixed media paper crafts punchinella scrapbooking 7 comments layout from outer space posted on may 23 2012 by maggi hi everyone maggi here with a new layout from alchemist michelle i loved our kit monstrous mutant robots from outer space from the moment i saw it the pops of orange and the bam pop papers are so awesome but i must admit the patterns are very intimidating so here s what i did i pretended the paper was plain white sometimes the biggest hurdle using a certain material is overcoming your preconceived notion of what the final product should look like i ve been drawn to white background pages for a while now but when i tried to put this page together on white paper i felt i needed to add a background to it with stamps and misting so i just decided to let the paper be what it is i really like this as it represents what my nephew s minds must look like there s probably more burgers fries and soda involved though my youngest nephew marcus background is within the autism spectrum and though he s highly functional mastering social interaction took a while for him and makes him uncomfortable to this day his older brother kaine foreground does his best to guide him through interactions in school and in public it s a role he didn t choose for himself but he handles the occasional stares and comments with humor and good sense you ve seen these before i have a thing for triangles on borders lately i m so excited about the geometry trend in crafting mathematical equations triangles hexagons i have a fetish what i love most about washi tape is that it s translucent so layering solid colors over patterns really makes an impact i also used our blue punchinella red grid washi tape and metallic silver washi tape the embellishments in the this kit are really cool i love these wall decals and their pure colors i also cut out the robots from another bam pop paper but they never made it on here in a future project perhaps awesome layout michelle your layering of different elements is always so inspiring now go glue something awesome onto some awesome something maggi filed under design team scrapbooking tagged design team paper crafts scrapbooking 6 comments among trees in the style of posted on may 21 2012 by tarnished rose good morning marilyn here with an experiment from alchemist jo jo was inspired by an artist she read about and decided to create something in the style of that artist she s done a bang up job and the result is an awesome piece of artwork jo show us how it s done i wanted to complete a project using a paper napkin background and chose a very striking black and white paper napkin from the paper napkin art kit while very striking by itself i wanted to see how it would look sprayed with some vibrant color using dylusions ink sprays mmmmmm yummy which i liked so i stuck the napkin onto a cardboard base using mod podge although as you can see i d torn it a bit small ok i d gotten my background but now what was i going to do with it hmmmmmm thinking face i had a few ideas but nothing that was exciting me so i picked out one of my stuck sticks a previous gauche project and it told me to study an artist and have a go at creating something in their style good idea if i do say so myself but first coffee i took myself off to my local coffee shop and sat with a medium cappuccino to have in please and the mar apr 2012 issue of somerset studio as i m leafing through what should i see an article by mary beth shaw who wait for it studied an artist and then created artwork inspired by that artist wow how serendipitous the artist she d chosen to look up a viennese artist named hundertwasser 1928 2000 i m ashamed to say i d never heard of him his artwork full of detail and colour is stunning i m in love back home i carefully studied the main elements that make up his artwork and picked out several to create something which nods to his style but doesn t copy it on one side of the paper napkin background i smeared black gesso over some large hole punchinella from the punchinella variety pack once dry i used the ends of pens and paintbrushes to add neon bright acrylic paint dots i was inspired to use neon colours by alchemist michelle s stunning layouts and photographs using black staz on i stamped a claudine hellmuth line circle image onto paper which i then cut out and painted with neon acrylic paints these became my trees once they were stuck on i painted their trunks often in hundertwasser s paintings you can see the trunk of a tree through the foliage of the tree in front so i replicated this by using charcoal pencil the finished piece includes a hundertwasser quote which i ve handwritten i initially wrote it with a white paint pen but it didn t look very good so i painted over it with neon yellow paint better i learned such a lot from this exercise from mary beth shaw i discovered a new to me artist i really enjoyed experimenting with a style totally out of my comfort zone from alchemist michelle i got the confidence to try using colours that i would never previously considered using from myself i learned that i can spread my little arty wings and try something new without fear of failure have i created perfect artwork no did i enjoy creating it yes will i do this exercise again with another artist definitely jo what a truly beautiful work of art y...
