This week Simon Says Stamp and Show ... some Buttons

This week at Simon Says Stamp and Show ....some buttons!! 

Here is my Mother's Day project I made: 

It's a tin I got from the Clearance Bin at SU! The pretty cardstock was also from there, such a good deal I couldn't pass it up!

I made the flower from the Tattered Florals Die by Tim Holtz. I added an old button to it. The fabric is crinoline that I dyed with Tattered Angels Cranberry Glitter Mist and the white layer was stamped with a Penny Black script stamp.

The pretty music sheet scallop was given to me from Isabella from last month's ATC swap over at Deviant Scrap.com

All the pages are attached together and you pull on the purple ribbon to view the different pages.

The vintage images are from Graphics Fairy. She has some really amazing images over there!

I inked the edges with varies Tim Holtz Distress Inks

One side has the vintage images on it, and the other has photos of some butterflies in my gardens from last summer.

Thanks for looking!

Distressing!

This week at Simon Says Stamp and Show some distressing!

I made an ATC for the swap over at Deviant Scrap The theme was Art Doll. The base is Claudine Hellmuth's Sticky-Back Canvas. I LOVE that stuff!

I found a ballerina on the web that I printed out and used as a mask. Then I sprayed Cosmos Tattered Angels Glitter Mist and a reinker mixture I made with Tim Holtz's Spiced Marmalade distress reinker and perfect pearls powder. A little ran under the mask, but I am still very happy with how it turned out!!

 

Using some Multi Medium glue I attached some mirco beads (Martha Stewart). I made the ballerina a necklace using Glam Pink Stickles. Inked the edges of the card with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink.

Thanks for looking!!!

Sponge Worthy?

I totally forgot to post my card for Drunken Stamperschallenge "Are you sponge worthy?"

It's hard to see the sponging I did on the card in this photo, it looks better in real life.

Stamps and paper are from Stampin Up.

Thanks for looking!

Anything but a card!

This week Simon Says Stamp and Show ... anything but a card! 

I made these for a couple of my friends. I got the idea from frenchiestamps.com.

The paper, stamp and brads are from SU.

I found a great Apple Blossom Flower tutorial from Linda.

Thanks for looking!

All About Him

This week over at Drunken Stampers it's All About Him #60.

This worked out well, because I needed to make Jeff a birthday card! I used Crumb Cake card stock (SU). I used the Top Note Sizzix Die on the red cardstock and added the mini screw brads. I embossed the aluminum foil with the diamond plate Cuttlebug folder. To make the wrenches I stamped the foil with black Stazon ink using the Totally Tool (SU) stamps.

Thanks for looking!

A word: Story

This week Simon Says Stamp and Show ... a word! I made an altered book with the theme Story:

I took a class over at http://www.deviantscrap.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2109 on Altered Books taught by Beth Rimmer.

My book also was made with Gingersnap Creations GC95: Random Redhead Challenge - Typewriters in mind. I love antique typewriters and fonts. I added 2 typewriters and the font I used on the typerwriter on the top left is my favorite: 1942 Report.

Typerwriter on top left is from Queen Bee by Holliewood Studios at Deviant Scrap.com

I made the drawers using Crumb Cake cardstock (SU).

The handles are Hitch Knobs (Tim Holtz)

I made the heart out of bronze UTEE.

The heart charm is a Typewriter charm by Tim Holtz that I put a heart in.

I made the flower from Tattered Floral Die by Tim Holtz and embossed it with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing Folder (SU).  Edges were inked with Brick Red Distress Ink.

Tickets and metal corners are by Tim Holtz, and glass charms are from Michaels. I glued everything down including the pages with Claudine Helmuth's Multi Medium Matte -it's an awesome glue!!
