Going to Camp ~ Camp Create 3 Final Session ~ Remarkable Resist

Good Evening Dreamerz,

As the title of my post says I am going to camp!! This is not the camp of my yesteryear, this is a camp for crafters! My favorite kind of camp, no mosquitos, no embarrassing situations at the pond (don't ask), and the best camp counselors  aka MFT Designers, a crafty girl can ask for!!

Well as day 3 of camp comes to a close I want to share with you what all the cool kids did at camp today.  Today the counselors had us create a project using the theme "Remarkable Resist".  I struggle so badly with this technique, so while I am still not super happy and realize the mistake of using the wrong paper, I used a shimmer paper thinking Oh WOW this will make it really look like the night sky, WRONG!.  My Distress inks did not lay down as smoothly as I had hoped.  Thankfully at this camp everyone is super encouraging..

Good Evening Dreamerz,

As the title of my post says I am going to camp!! This is not the camp of my yesteryear, this is a camp for crafters! My favorite kind of camp, no mosquitos, no embarrassing situations at the pond (don't ask), and the best camp counselors  aka MFT Designers, a crafty girl can ask for!!

Well as day 2 of camp comes to a close I want to share with you what all the cool kids did at camp today.  Today the counselors had us create a project using the theme "Ombre".  So I set out to use 2 of my favorite colors lately Purple and Grey. Well as I was blending to create the ombre effect with my stencil it occurred to me to make a shaker card, but to reverse the ombre effect inside the shaker. WOW this came out great so I took it outside to catch a glimpse of it in the sunlight and sunlight was not all I caught! I caught an adorable Unicorn. Cute critter landed smack dab in the middle of my shaker all I could say was "Are you for real?"

Good Afternoon Dreamerz,

As the title of my post says I am going to camp!! This is not the camp of my yesteryear, this is camp for crafters! My favorite kind of camp, no mosquitos, no embarrassing situations at the pond (don't ask), and the best camp counselors  aka MFT Designers, a crafty girl can ask for!!

So today's camp project challenge was to create a card using the theme "Monochromatic"

This was perfect for me as I had just recently found out a good friend of mine has been declared breast cancer free.  So what better way to tell her how happy I am for her than to create a pink themed card.  

The My Favorite Things Hog Heaven stamp and die set's I think were made just for a card like this.

Card Recipe:

My Favorite Things Hog Heaven Stamp and Dies

MAMBI Breast Cancer themed cardstock

Stampin Up Black Ink

Pink Ribbon from stash

Sentiment from Hog Heaven stamp set and stamped with pink pigment ink then clear embossed on vellum.

Polka Dot cardstock die cut using 

My Favorite Things ~ Die-Namics Wonky Stitched Dies

I used foam pop dots on the backside of all the lil piggies.

I hope you enjoy my Camp Project and look at the swell badges I earned for participating on day 1.

Good Morning Dreamerz

This morning I want to share with you a really cute interactive tag.  I used the Elf from the Digital stamp file called Christmas Kitchen. 

Here is a close up of the tag itself.

Tag Recipe:

Uploaded digi to Design Space, created the tag using the print and cut function and digital images in the design space library. I cut the digi of the elf on a separate layer then water colored him using Gansai Tambi Watercolors. I took distress ink to create a blue swirl background on the tag and then used some snowflake stamps with versamark and holographic embossing powder to add a lil sparkle and give the appearance of snow.  Since I wanted to make the tag interactive and give the elf the appearance of making snow angels I adhered a wobble action spring to his back. 

I hope you have enjoyed my Jiggly Elf.

Have a great day Dreamerz..

This morning I want to share with you a fun card using image from 

Sandra Caldwell.  I actually used 2 images and created this fun card which I then watercolored using Faber Castell Watercolor's.

The images in this card were uploaded to Cricut Design Space where I was able to combine them to create a scene, I then added the patterned background from Cricut Design Space Subscription images.
