Sweet 'n Sassy January Release Day 5: Majestic Monarchs Dies

Welcome to day 5 of our January feature Blog Hops!  

 

Today we're featuring "Monarch Dies" set, this coordinates with Majestic Monarch Stamp Set

 

• Die set includes 6 dies
• Dies range from approximately 3/4" x 1" to approximately 2.25" x 2.75"
• Dies coordinate with the Majestic Monarchs Clear Stamp Set
• Designed by Korin Sutherland
• Die set - $14.75

This is a mini canvas, size 3" x 3"! I enjoyed creating this little piece of mixed media. Actually, this mini canvas was a "bad piece" I made few months ago, I was getting ready to toss it, glad I didn't.

Here are the details:

• Cover your canvas with a layer or two of gesso.
• After it dried, paint it with Pool Acrylic Paint (Ranger), set aside to dry.
• Stamp butterflies in Coffee and Sepia Archival ink.
• Stencil your piece with gold and white paint, here I used Mini Chicken Wire stencil.
• Add a piece of Adhesive Lace.
• Die-cut butterflies, stamp coordinated butterflies in Coffee Archival Ink, stamp sayings from Vintage Seed Packet set in Sepia Archival Ink, then sponge butterflies with Distress Inks (Antique Linen,  Mustard Seed, Wild Honey).
• Cover your butterflies with VersaMark Ink, and add at least 3 layers of UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel), you are going to get a very nice glossy and smooth result. Love it!!
• Add butterflies to canvas (I used my heat glue gun).
• Stamp sentiment from "God is Bigger" set, cut sides, ink all edges and adhere it to canvas. 

Check out some of the fabulous samples made by our talented DT in the thumbnails below.

Hey there

Hello friends! Today, I want to share with you a wood-paint piece I created for eclectic Paperie. I had a lot of fun sketching this piece and painting, it was so relaxing, I think I need to do more of this more often. On the other side, I created a big  mess in the craft room, oh well, nothing is perfect, right?

I recently ordered a couple of Luminarte Twinkling H2O and I love them!!  Love playing with new products!

Ok, let me tell you some of the products I used for this project and few details.

• Start with a piece of wood, clean it, sand it and cover it with White Gesso. Set aside and let it dry.
• Paint the sides with Pool Acrylic Paint Dabber, then activate your Luminarte Twinkling H20 Olive Vine shimmer (love it!!) and paint the bottom parts with a brush.
• Now, for this fun part, using your fingers and white gesso, create the clouds.
• Spray the very bottom parts with Dylusions Melted Chocolate Spray.
• Take a little bit of the Dylusions Melted Chocolate Spray from the bottle and a fine paint brush and paint the branches. Rinse your paint brush.
• Add little dots of Luminarte Twinkling H20 Ginger Peach and Olive Vine to the brunches.
• Take you  Olive Vine again, now your mixture is a little bit thick, paint the little valleys and green areas.
• After the paints are all dried, stamp the sentiment from Strictly Sentimens 2 in Jet Black Archiva Ink.
• Now take a  Mini Chicken Wire Reversed stencil and White Embossing Paste and apply it to all sides.
• Take your Barcode Stencil and White Embossing Paste and apply it to the back side, add your signature.
• Paint a bird from Vintage Wood Birds with Dylusions Melted Chocolate Spray, then add little bits of Luminarte Twinkling H20 Ginger Peach.

Top Dog Dies Guest Designer and a Giveaway!!

Hello friends! Today, I have excited news to share, I am a Guest Designer for Top Dog Dies!! I got pretty dies and I have used some of them to create this pretty easel card!

First, let me tell you a little bit about Top Dog Dies:
Top Dog Dies is a new online store that offers their own brand of wafer-thin and steel-rule dies, along with dies from brands you already know and trust, including My Favorite Things, Sizzix, Savvy Stamps and Cheery Lynn Designs. Top Dog Dies is also the leading U.S. retailer for Tattered Lace Dies, a new line of intricate dies designed by U.K. designer Stephanie Weightman.

These are the dies I used for this project:

• Heart Mini Album Finishers
• Heart Doily

For my easel card, I followed the same rules as a regular square, you can see the tutorial HERE. I embossed the top and bottom pink hearts with Regal Damask Embossing Folder. All the heart edges pieces (pink, white and lace heart) were inked with Memento Luxe Love Letter, then I added then to the heart easel base.
I die-cut the hearts, arrow and I {heart} U pieces from Red cardstock, then added them to the panels. I covered the hearts and arrow with Star Dust Stickles, finally I made a triple bow with brown hemp twine and added a green ribbon flower.

Hello friends!! Hope you all had a great New Year's celebration, I had a great one, nothing better than Skyped with my family in Peru! It was so nice, I laughed a lot, hope to go back there soon, but for now Skype is a great resource!!

Anyway, today I want to show you a set of 4"x4" cards I made using Latina Crafter stamps and dies. I got these sets some time ago, but until now I had the chance to use them so they are pretty new to me.

For this set I used Días de sol (Sunny Days) stamps and coordinated dies. I also used the set Construye tu casa (Build your house) to stamp the house, grass and tree. I drew and cut a cloud to use as a template, then using Tumbled Glass Distress ink, I sponged the edges.
All the images were colored with Spectrum Noir Markers. I am adding the markers used on every card.

So, let me show you the cards.

• Flower Basket: TN4, TN5, TN6, TN9, DG2, DG3, CR5, CR7, CR10, BG1

Hola (Hello): All images were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black. I die-cut the frog, flying butterfly and flower  with coordinated dies.
Here is the list of markers I used:

• Frog: DG2, DG3, LG3, CG1
• Flower: DG2, DG3, PP3, PP4, PP5
• Flying butterfly: HB1, HB2, HB3

Mi sol, mi alegría (My sun, my happiness): All images were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black. I die-cut the sun, snail, bird and bird house with coordinated dies.
Here is the list of markers I used:
