Imagine mini album

My dear grandson Omer  made those studio photos  (Limor Aharon was a  photographer) and they were so great for small vintage style mini album with a lot of stamping. I used a few of my new just delivered stamps from 100 Proof Press, some of them on each  second page and made stickers titles for each one.
So here is a cover: Old Script and Child Looking up stamps. White  ink is Clearsnap Frosty White; black is Ranger Archival  ink and I used it all over this mini album. All stamped images were misted with a mix of Ranger mists and edges were heat embossed with Metallic Copper WOW! Embossing powder.

Nest pages- photo and a few more stamps for this Discover page: Boy Daydreaming, A flock of Crows,   Hot Air balloon, Spring Bouquet.And again- mix of RANGER mists was sprayed over the piece.

Nest couple of pages with Explore: same Old script and Flower girls  stamps

And last couple for Dream: same Old script and Butterfly  boy

I still have 5 more blank page on the back and more photos to add, so to be continued...

Celebrate childhood: GJS Arrow album

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Today I am going to show you my first project made as Genuinely Jane Studios DT member (I made a couple, but it was for product swap with my other teams as I didn't get my DT goodies till now).
So my  wooden mini album today is an Arrow one and I love this shape a lot: so trendy, so easy to cut and to cover with paper, so  easy to make it " any occasion" album.
I made this  mini album with my dear grandson's studio photos and the banners, colors and a cupcake in his hands were  my main inspiration for colors, patterns and embellishments of this mini.

 I used Bo Bunny papers to cover all wooden pages; inked around and used stencils with white gesso  on every front page.
Here is my cover and I tried to keep it as flat as possible and with no success after all. I used this Art stencil from CWS over this cover, added a chipboard banner from Tando Creative covered with washi tapes and some K&Co due cuts.  My title was covered with glitter embossing powder and I added some more small home die cuts and blings.

The back sides of all pages are mostly photos and some washi tapes around.Now you can see the photo colors and banners and cupcake on the photo.

My second page front was stencilled with Artistcellar Seven Jewels stencil with  gesso and misted with Dylusions Lemon Zest  mist.Then I added those chipboard Tando cupcakes covered with Liquid Applique  brown paint and Art Anthology Sorbet Frost paint.A bit of chunky glitter and one red Dew Drop as a cherry were great finish for those cupcakes . The sticker sentiment is from Fancy Pants and is for " sweet" cupcake or other memories.

The second photo is very similar to the first.

My third front page is for " perfect": my grandson is such a perfect little guy.
Here I used CWS Numbers stencil and Calipso Teal Dylusions mist over a dark paper with one single BB 3d sticker as a title of the page.

Another photo was glued on the back.

The last front page: another Artistcellar stencil Flower of Life with Dylusions   Bubblegum pink mist and a chipboard Happy word covered with blue glitter.

So this was my lovely  Arrow mini album.
And if you want to make a very similar one, just go to GJS shop and pick your favorite shape. So easy, so fancy, so much fun to make one.
And for one more day there is 35% sale in the shop!  You need to see to believe as  those prices are  the best for all kinds of mediums, mists, inks ,GJS most gorgeous wooden mini albums and much much more!

Sweet Stamps challenge #118: Anything goes

Hello dear crafty friends! Today is our Anything goes challenge with Sweet Stamps and we are going to show you Sweet Stamps new DIES!
We have 20!! new dies in  this month bundle and you can buy them all with 25% discount as the whole release or just whatever dies you like.
YES, we have our own dies in Sweet Stamps shop!

So as most of those dies are nature and flowers, I made this  flowers card with my favorite color combo: brown, pink and green.

I used American Crafts cardstock as my base and this was my first time to use Cheery Lynn Card makers Rectangle Dies A2  too  and I am very glad I have them finally in my stash.
Then I used 10  different  new dies; Betty's Bloom SweetCuts, Mini Medallion, Pretty Petals,Mini Flower (2 dies),Flutterby #2 (2 dies), Fancy Leaf and 2 of 3 dies from Flower Trio.    Some were cut from Core' dinations Brownie cardstock and some from green leftovers of DCWV. Then I die cut a rectangle from double sided glue sheet,  arranged all my die cuts and added Sweet Stamps Micro Fine Gloden Glitz glitter over the glue. Bingo! It's so delicate and light glittery and so much add on to the plain cardstock I used.
Same glitter was added over the Butterfly  wings (Prima cardstock leftover, really a small piece that had the right colors).
2 more small dies cut flowers were added over my title strip on the bottom of my card and I also added some glitter over Glossy Accents.
I stamped HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY sentiment with Sweet Stamps Brownie Shades ink  spot and added a piece of thin trim between the parts of my card.
My last touch was faux white pen stitching with Uniball and a lot of pearls and rhinestones added over my die cut flowers.

Now it's your turn. Play with our Anything goes challenge with any stamps or products and you can win a nice prize!

My beautiful Mom: she still is...

Today is my dear MOM'S Birthday and she is 79, but still a very clever, elegant young lady. So Happy Birthday dear Mom! Here is my web present to you!
This is my new MM page made with my mom old photo.I made a part of it on the workshop, but I can't do it the same way, so I added much more, like a title, more embellishments, more washi tape, metal charm etc. and made it my own after all.

Then I decided that I need a title (there was no one ) and some more things to add, so I added my Handmade Halo  resin frame, bird cage charm,  Beaded trim and a chipboard Beautiful title .

Now, with my title, I like this page more.
 I enter this to Get Creative lots of flowers

Snowflake key chain

Also winter is far away, but sometimes you make projects  ahead, and this is one of those projects.
I made this fancy winter key chain for some magazine submission and never got an answer from them, so  it's a time to showcase it in my blog and  even to enter to some web challenges.

All stamped snowflakes are from Inspired by Stamping over Epiphany Crafts charms. Chipboard show flake is Tando Creative and the beaded crystals are my own work (long time ago)
I enter this piece to Moxie Fab Gifts challenge

For you box

My new altered oval box  made with 100 Proof Press most gorgeous Child Looking up stamp as a focal point of this project.

I covered it with Teresa Collins paper, added a die cut with CLD die oval frame, also it's not much seen after all. Then I added a die cut flowers and butterflies piece from Die Versions and covered it all with Glossy Accents  (RANGER)
The next level  of embellishments is this 100 Proof Press  Child Looking UP stamp, stamped  with white Frosty White Clearsnap ink over black cardstock and hear embossed with  Bright white regular embossing powder (WOW! Embossing Powders).Then I changed color on this Flourishes with Bling piece as bright pink was not a right  color for this project(Ranger alcohol ink) and glued it over the first layers.
 I heat embossed Tando Creative book plate with  a mix of embossing powders and  heat embossed a title too and glued them over the box.
A few Tando leaves and flowers were heat embossed and added over the plate and  embellished with pearls and stones.
 The base of the box was covered with Maya Road zipper trim and some May Arts ribbon and Love my Tapes adhesive lace.

There will be a mini album in this box made with a lot  more 100 Proof Press stamps, but I will do a separate post for the inside mini photos just in a few days.
