LWD Design Team Showcase: WENDY VECCHI - STUDIO 490 EMBOSSING PASTE AND TIM HOLTZ LAYERING STENCILS

"THE PERFECT BLEND"

HEY Y'ALL! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HAS REALLY BEEN THIS LONG SINCE MY LAST BLOG POST. BUT, AFTER SOME HEALTH ISSUES AND SURGERY... I'M FEELING MUCH BETTER AND BACK AT IT. THIS WEEK I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU A PROJECT THAT WAS INSPIRED BY A DAY OUT TO THE TEA ROOM AND VINTAGE MALL SHOPPING WITH 2 OF MY AWESOME FRIENDS! DURING OUR SHOPPING DEANNA SPOTTED A QUAINT LITTLE PAINTING THAT WE ALL THOUGHT WAS A PERFECT PROJECT FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE ON. KEEP IN MIND... I WAS INSPIRED BY THIS, I DID NOT COPY IT!!

(not sure who the artist is or whom to credit, it's in a vintage store in Ridgeway, SC)

I WAS SO EXCITED AND INSPIRED THAT I GOT TO WORK QUICKLY THE NEXT DAY WHILE THE CREATIVITY WAS FLOWING! Y'ALL, I WAS SLINGING PAINT AND STAIN AND INK AND GOT THIS PROJECT DONE IN NO TIME. NOT REALLY, BUT, YA KNOW... I WAS WORKING FAST FOR ME. AND THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW ME WELL, KNOW THAT I AM A NEAT FREAK AND DON'T "SLING" ANYTHING...HA HA HA!

FIRST, I STARTED WITH A FLAT, PRIMED CANVAS THAT I PURCHASED IN A 3-PACK FROM WALMART. IT'S NOT ONE OF THOSE THAT IS STRETCHED AND STAPLED TO A WOODEN FRAME. THIS ONE IS ADHERED TO SOME SORT OF CHIP-BOARD AND IS THIN AND STURDY. I LIKE THEM!

I USED VINTAGE PHOTO AND MUSTARD SEED DISTRESS PAINTS MIXED WITH A LITTLE WATER TO PAINT MY BACKGROUND. I DID NOT MIX THEM A WHOLE LOT, AS TO KEEP A STREAKED LOOK.

ONCE THE BACKGROUND WAS DRY, I CHOSE TO GO AHEAD AND ADD SOME TEXTURE WITH WENDY VECCHI - STUDIO 490 EMBOSSING PASTE.  I USED THE MATTE WHITE EMBOSSING PASTE SO THAT I COULD COLOR IT TO COORDINATE WITH THE PROJECT.

I JUST LAID SOME EMBOSSING PASTE AND DISTRESS PAINT DOWN ON MY CRAFT MAT TO MIX THEM TO THE DESIRED COLOR. NEXT, I USED TIM HOLTZ'S NEW LAYERING STENCILS - THE "RAYS" TO BE EXACT - TO ADD SUN RAYS TO THE TOP.

THIS EMBOSSING PASTE IS SO EASY TO USE AND DRIES RATHER QUICKLY. ALSO, I LOVE LOVE LOVE TIM HOLTZ'S NEW LAYERING STENCILS!! I ACTUALLY USE 3 OF THEM IN THIS PROJECT.

I DIDN'T LIKE THE HARSH LINES AT THE TOP WHERE THE STENCIL ENDS, SO BEFORE IT DRIED, I SMEARED OUT THE RAYS TO GIVE IT A MORE FADED LOOK. THE EMBOSSING PASTE ADDS SO MUCH MORE DEPTH AND TEXTURE TO A PROJECT... I LOVE WORKING WITH IT!

NEXT, I ADDED SOME MORE TEXTURE BY USING THE BURLAP LAYERING STENCIL WITH EMBOSSING PASTE ACROSS THE BOTTOM... USING THE SAME TECHNIQUES TO COLOR AND SPREAD. AND, I USED THE SPLATTERS LAYERING STENCIL WITH WALNUT STAIN DISTRESS INK TO CREATE "COFFEE STAINS".

WHILE LETTING THE PASTE AND INK DRY FOR A BIT; I WENT TO MY COMPUTER TO FIND A ROYALTY FREE CLIP ART OF A COFFEE MUG TO USE AS A GUIDELINE FOR HAND-PAINTING. AFTER PRINTING IT OUT, I SCRIBBLED ON THE BACK WITH A PENCIL SO THAT I COULD TRACE AN OUTLINE ON MY PROJECT.

I HAND PAINTED WITH ANTIQUE LINEN DISTRESS PAINT FIRST, TO CREATE A SHADOW EFFECT. I LATER GO OVER IT WITH A MORE STRIKING COLOR TO ADD CONTRAST. 

ONCE I FINISHED THE LINEN LAYER OF PAINT, I WENT ON TO ADD THE SENTIMENT. I CHOSE TO STAMP AND STENCIL THE LETTERS AND WORDS WITH ARCHIVAL BLACK PERMANENT INK.

THE "COFFEE AND FRIENDS ARE THE" IS STAMPED; AND THE "PERFECT BLEND" IS STENCILED. WITH A SMALL INK APPLICATOR, I CREATED A SHADOW EFFECT AROUND THE LETTERS AND INTENTIONALLY MADE THE "PERFECT BLEND" LOOK LIKE IT HAD STENCIL MARKS AROUND IT. THIS KIND OF REMINDS ME OF THE MARKINGS ON A BURLAP SACK OF COFFEE BEANS!

THE STAMPING WAS VERY EASY AND TOOK NO TIME AT ALL...

I WANTED A LITTLE MORE COLOR ON THE PROJECT, SO I CHOSE TO GO WITH A STRIKING RED COLOR TO SPLATTER AND TO PAINT THE COFFEE CUP FINAL COAT. I THINK IT ADDS JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF... "BAM"!!

WHEN EVERYTHING WAS GOOD AND DRY... I INKED ALL OF THE EDGES WITH WALNUT STAIN DISTRESS INK TO GIVE IT THAT "VINTAGE FEEL". THEN I ADDED SOME METAL CORNER PROTECTORS AND A METAL BUTTERFLY FOR EVEN MORE TEXTURE.

I JUST LOVE THOSE COFFEE STAINS! I THINK THOSE ARE MY FAVORITE! WELL, AFTER EVERYTHING WAS DRIED AND SET.......

VOILA! THERE YOU HAVE IT....

OUR TRIP TO THE QUAINT LITTLE TOWN OF RIDGEWAY, SC PROVED TO BE NOT ONLY A RELAXING AND FUN DAY AMONG FRIENDS... BUT IT ALSO PROVED TO BE A VERY INSPIRATIONAL ONE AS WELL!! NOTHING LIKE SOME GIRL TIME AND SHOPPING TO GET THE CREATIVE JUICES FLOWING. I AM WELL PLEASED WITH HOW IT TURNED OUT. NOW, HOW TO KEEP MY FRIENDS FROM SNATCHING IT AWAY WHEN THEY COME OVER?? *WINK*

THANKS FOR VISITING WITH US TODAY! I HOPE THAT YOU HAVE FOUND SOME INSPIRATION IN MY LITTLE PROJECT. YOUR COMMENTS AND SUPPORT MEAN A LOT TO US, SO DON'T HESITATE TO SHOW SOME LOVE ON THE BLOGS!

OBSESSED WITH LABELING!

HEY Y'ALL! I HOPE YOU ARE ALL OFF TO A GREAT START TO THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR. OURS HAS STARTED OUT PRETTY GOOD, PRAISE GOD!  

I WAS WONDERING... IS THERE ONE PARTICULAR TECHNIQUE/PROCESS THAT YOU ARE OBSESSIVE ABOUT? LIKE PERFECTION WHEN MEASURING, ORGANIZING, SORTING, ETC.?? WELL, I'VE FOUND OUT THAT I HAVE QUITE A FEW "OCD" HABITS. IF YOU KNOW ME WELL, YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT ME ALREADY! ...LOL... I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU MY LATEST OBSESSIVE PROCESSES. LABELING EVERYTHING! 

I RECENTLY WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE MY HUSBAND FINALLY BUILD THE SCRAP-DESK OF MY DREAMS!!  HE IS GREAT AT WOOD WORKING/BUILDING STUFF. I HAVE A PLAN, WE TALK IT OUT, MEASURE, JOIN IDEAS... AND VOILA! IT COMES TO LIFE. 

THE PEGBOARD ON THE BACK WALL NOW HAS WHITE PICTURE MOLDING AROUND IT TO FRAME IT. I COULDN'T DEAL WITH THE RAW EDGES OF THE PEGBOARD. I TOLD YA, OCD! ...LOL... DIDN'T HE DO A GREAT JOB! THANKS TEDDY BEAR. WELL, AFTER WE GOT EVERYTHING FINISHED AND I GOT ALL OF MY SUPPLIES RE-ORGANIZED, EVERYTHING NEEDED TO BE LABELED - OF COURSE! 

I'VE HAD THESE BASKETS IN MY CLOSET FOR SOME TIME. THEY FIT THESE SHELVES PERFECTLY. I OPTED TO GO WITH PHOTO BOXES MOSTLY BECAUSE THEY ARE CHEAP BUT REALLY STURDY - I FOUND MOST OF MINE AT MICHAEL'S ON SALE FOR $1.66EA. I HAVE FOUND THEM TO BE REALLY HANDY FOR ORGANIZING. A COUPLE OF POSTS AGO, I SHOWED HOW I USED THESE PHOTO BOXES AND SIZZIX PLASTIC ENVELOPES TO ORGANIZE MY WAFER DIES AND EMBOSSING FOLDERS. 

ON THE TOP SHELF HERE, YOU SEE HOW I HAVE MY CLEAR STAMPS ORGANIZED. EACH STAMP COLLECTION IS IN A CLEAR/OPAQUE DVD CASE. I STAMPED ALL OF THE IMAGES ON WHITE CARDSTOCK TO PUT IN THE FRONT COVER FOR EASY FINDING. THE LABELS ON THE OUTSIDE ARE REALLY SIMPLE, EASY, & ADD A NICE TOUCH TO THESE INEXPENSIVE BOXES.

 I STARTED DECIDING WHAT SIZE I WANTED MY LABELS. THEN, MEASURED AND CUT ENOUGH WHITE CARDSTOCK FOR ALL OF MY BOXES AND BASKETS. AFTER PUNCHING ALL OF THE CORNERS WITH A DECORATIVE CORNER PUNCH, I MATTED THEM ALL WITH BLACK CARDSTOCK. NEXT, I USED A CORNER ROUNDER PUNCH TO HELP THE CORNERS FOLLOW THE DESIGN OF THE DECO PUNCH. WHEN FINISHED WITH THOSE, IT WAS AS SIMPLE AS PUNCHING HOLES IN THEM ALL & ADDING TIM HOLTZ JUMP RINGS (LOVE THOSE BTW).

I DIDN'T WANT TO PUNCH HOLES IN THE LINING OF THE BASKETS, SO I ATTACHED THE TAGS BY PUTTING A STICK PIN THROUGH THE BACK, THROUGH THE RING, THEN BACK AGAIN. IT'S NOT VERY NOTICEABLE AND WORKED GREAT!!

IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN SEEING HOW I ORGANIZE MY CLEAR STAMPS, JUST LEAVE ME A COMMENT ABOUT IT AND I WILL GET A POST TOGETHER FOR THOSE TOO. AS ALWAYS, THANKS SO MUCH FOR VISITING "FASHIONED IN FAITH", I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK!!  UNTIL NEXT TIME...

HAPPY SCRAPPIN',

LWD - Design Team Showcase - "Darcie's Inkjet Printable Shrink Plastic Project & CD"

HEY Y'ALL! I'M BACK AGAIN WITH ANOTHER DESIGN TEAM SHOWCASE FOR LONE WOLF DESIGNS DISCOUNT CRAFT SUPPLIES. THIS WEEK I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU SEVERAL WAYS YOU CAN USE "DARCIE'S - INK JET PRINTABLE - SHRINK PLASTIC PROJECT & CD". I DECIDED TO TRY A FEW NEW THINGS WITH THIS SHRINK PLASTIC THAT I'VE NEVER TRIED BEFORE. NOW, I'M NOT ONE FOR REALLY READING ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS, SO... I JUST WENT TO EXPERIMENTING A LITTLE. LET ME TELL YA, I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS! 

 

THE FIRST TECHNIQUE THAT I TRIED IS THE ONE DESCRIBED IN THE PART OF THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT I DID ACTUALLY READ! (LOL)  PRINTING IN AN INKJET PRINTER. THIS IS VERY EASY AND THE IMAGES THAT COME ON THE DISK ARE VERY LOVELY. I CHOSE A FEW DIFFERENT SHAPES AND SIZES TO SEE WHAT I REALLY LIKED FOR MY PROJECT.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE DESIGNS ARE VERY LOVELY AND UP TO DATE WITH TODAY'S CRAFTING DESIGN TRENDS. YOU HAVE TO DO A BIT OF FUSSY CUTTING WITH THESE... UNLESS, YOU OPT TO PURCHASE THE COORDINATING DIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE. IF YOU PLAN ON USING THESE A LOT, I WOULD SUGGEST INVESTING IN THOSE.

AFTER CAREFULLY CUTTING OUT THE DESIGNS, I INKED THE EDGES WITH COORDINATING COLORS OF DISTRESS INKS TO GIVE A MORE FINISHED LOOK. DOING THIS BEFORE SHRINKING IS A LOT EASIER!

SINCE I AM USING MINE FOR A DANGLE CHARM, I FOUND IT BETTER TO PUNCH THE HOLE AND ADD THE TIM HOLTZ JUMP RING BEFORE SHRINKING. I TRIED TO JUST PUNCH THE HOLE, THEN SHRINK, BUT THE HOLE JUST CLOSES RIGHT UP. YOU NEED TO ADD THE RING OR A TOOTH PICK, OR SOMETHING TO KEEP IT OPENED BEFORE YOU START HEATING IT.

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN HEATING YOUR PIECE. HOLD IT WITH METAL PLIERS THAT HAVE STAY COOL HANDLES. ALSO, DO NOT FREAK OUT WHEN THE PIECE STARTS CURLING UP. IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!!  IT WILL CURL, TWIST, BALL UP, EVERYTHING! IT'S FINE. JUST KEEP A STEADY HEAT (NOT TOO CLOSE) AND REMEMBER TO HEAT BOTH SIDES.

WHEN IT IS TOTALLY SHRUNK, IT WILL FLATTEN OUT A BIT. THIS IS WHEN YOU STOP HEATING AND TURN YOUR TOOL OFF! IMMEDIATELY TAKE A CLEAR STAMPING BLOCK OR OTHER SURFACE AND FLATTEN YOUR PIECE OUT COMPLETELY. DO NOT TOUCH IT YET... IT AND THE JUMP RING WILL BE VERY HOT! THE TOP PIECE ABOVE IS BEFORE AND THE BOTTOM PIECE IS AFTER HEATING. THE BOTTOM PIECE STARTED OUT EXACTLY THE SAME SIZE AS THE TOP.

THE NEXT TECHNIQUE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU IS STAMPING ON THE PLASTIC!!!  YES!!! IT WORKS GREAT!!!  I TOOK A CHANCE, NOT KNOWING WHETHER THE INKS WOULD TAKE WELL TO THE PLASTIC... BUT I LOVE THE RESULTS. I USED BLACK ARCHIVAL INK TO STAMP THE IMAGE; THEN USED A COTTON SWAB TO COLOR IT IN WITH DISTRESS INKS. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE INKS WILL BECOME MUCH MORE VIBRANT AFTER SHRUNK. ABOVE, AFTER STAMPING AND COLORING THE MAIN IMAGE, I DECIDED TO FAINTLY STAMP THE BACKGROUND WITH A MUSIC SCORE. FABULOUS!!  

FOR CUTTING, I DECIDED TO TRY MY DIES AND PUNCHES. I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT BOTH WORK VERY WELL WITH THE SHRINK PLASTIC. YAY!

AFTER CUTTING/PUNCHING THE SHAPE OUT... I ADDED A JUMP RING, THEN SHRUNK THEM. LET ME ADD THAT IF YOU FORGET (LIKE I DID ON ONE) TO ADD YOUR JUMP RING BEFORE, A VERY SMALL DRILL BIT IN YOUR ELECTRIC/HAND DRILL WORKS GREAT TO ADD THE HOLE. TAKE IT SLOW AS TO NOT CRACK THE PIECE.

THIS IS HOW THE FINISHED STAMPED IMAGE LOOKS... IT IS SO MUCH BETTER IN PERSON! THE COLORS REALLY POP, AND THE BACKGROUND STAMPING ADDS SO MUCH TEXTURE. WHAT I DID NOT GET A PICTURE OF (SORRY), IS THAT YOU COVER EACH PIECE WITH GLOSSY ACCENTS WHEN FINISHED TO SEAL IN THE COLORS AND TO GIVE A SMOOTH, SHINY LOOK. ALLOW SEVERAL HOURS OR OVERNIGHT DRYING TIME.

 SO, HERE WE GO... TIME TO ASSEMBLE THE DANGLE CHARM. I CHOSE TO START WITH THE "CHERISH TIME" PIECE FOR THE BOTTOM CENTER PIECE. I ADDED IT TO A TIM HOLTZ IDEA-OLOGY SWIVEL CLASP. THESE ARE SO CONVENIENT AND EASY TO USE.

AFTER ASSEMBLING ALL OF MY TOOLS, BEADS, PEARLS, HEAD PINS, AND TIM HOLTZ JUMP RINGS... IT WAS FUN JUST ADDING AND CREATING TO FINISH UP THIS BEAUTIFUL DANGLE CHARM!!

I DECIDED TO USE MY SHRINKED CHARMS ON A CHUNKY DANGLE CHARM... I AM MAKING A MINI-ALBUM FOR A DEAR FRIEND; SO I INTEND ON USING IT ON THE BINDING OF THAT ALBUM...

I REALLY HOPE SHE LIKES IT!!  WHATTU THINK? PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT AND LEAVE A COMMENT OR EVEN JOIN THE SIGHT... YOUR INPUT MEANS A LOT TO US. THANKS SO MUCH FOR VISITING WITH ME AT FASHIONED IN FAITH TODAY, I HOPED YOU ENJOYED OUR TIME TOGETHER!!

LWD - PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

WAFER DIE ORGANIZATION

HEY Y'ALL! I'M BACK AGAIN WITH ANOTHER LWD, DESIGN TEAM POST. THIS WEEK, INSTEAD OF DOING A SHOWCASE PROJECT, I DECIDED TO SHARE SOME ORGANIZATIONAL TIPS WITH A PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT.  I DON'T KNOW IF I AM ALONE ON THIS OR NOT, BUT I HAD BEEN VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THE STORAGE OF MY WAFER DIES LIKE SPELLBINDERS AND MEMORY BOX DIES.  

BEFORE I JUST KEPT THEM IN THEIR ORIGINAL PACKAGING AND STACKED IN A PHOTO BOX. THIS WAS NOT ORGANIZED AT ALL. THEY WERE ALL DIFFERENT SIZES AND SHAPES AND JUST DIDN'T WORK WELL FOR ME. 

  I HAD SEEN A FEW IDEAS ON YOUTUBE AND SUCH, BUT THOUGHT THOSE SOLUTIONS MAY GET A LITTLE EXPENSIVE.  SO, AFTER MUCH CONTEMPLATION AND SEARCHING, I DECIDED ON THE PLASTIC ENVELOPES FROM SIZZIX. AT THE LAST CROP WE HELD FOR THE SCRAP CAFE'; MRS. CATHY BROOKS BROUGHT HER DIE COLLECTION ALONG AND HAD THEM STORED IN THESE ADORABLE PLASTIC ENVELOPES. I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT BRAND HER'S WERE, BUT I WENT SEARCHING ON THE PRODUCT PERFORMERS WEBSITE TO SEE IF I COULD FIND SOME TO PURCHASE THROUGH "LONE WOLF DESIGNS DISCOUNT RETAIL SALES". WELL, AS YOU MAY HAVE GUESSED, I FOUND SOME... MADE BY SIZZIX!!  YAY!!

***POST UPDATE: this particular envelope is no longer available from Sizzix. However, there are 2 other types available and the only difference is the flap. FYI: I later purchased some of the others that are landscape orientation and have a scalloped flap; I like these a lot better. (not pictured)**** 

THESE ENVELOPES ARE VERY STURDY AND WELL MADE. I WAS VERY HAPPY WHEN I RECEIVED THESE AND COULD NOT WAIT TO GET HOME AND START ORGANIZING!!

THE ENVELOPES COME IN A PACKAGE OF 3 FOR A GREAT PRICE, ARE MADE WITH A GENEROUS OPENING, AND A STRONG SNAP CLOSURE. AS I MENTIONED, THEY ARE STURDY AND STRONG... NOT THIN AND FLIMSY AT ALL.

I DECIDED TO KEEP THE PACKAGING INSERT WITH MINE... THE CARDBOARD LINER THAT HAD THE PHOTO OF THE DIES AND NAME/BRAND, ETC. I CUT EACH ONE TO THE SAME SIZE TO FIT INSIDE OF THE ENVELOPE AND PLACE THEM IN THE FRONT OF EACH ONE.

THE SPELLBINDERS DIES COME ATTACHED TO THE BACK OF THE CARDBOARD INSERT WITH DOUBLE SIDED TAPE. I LEFT THAT INTACT AND JUST SLID THE WHOLE THING DOWN INSIDE OF THE ENVELOPE. I MUST SAY.... I LOVE IT!!  I WISH I HAD CHECKED INTO IT LONG AGO AND I COULD HAVE HAD WELL ORGANIZED DIES ALL THIS TIME.  *LOL*

THE SIZE OF THE ENVELOPES ARE PERFECT TO FIT INSIDE OF A PHOTO BOX. YOU WOULD HAVE TO LET THEM LAY BACK A BIT IN ORDER TO GET THE LID ON PROPERLY. BUT, I STORE MINE ON THE SHELF OPENED ALWAYS FOR EASY ACCESS, SO THIS ISN'T A PROBLEM FOR ME.

WELL, AFTER I HAD ALL OF MY DIES TRANSFERED TO THE NEW ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEM... ANY GOOD "ORGANIZER" WOULD LET IT GO WITHOUT ADDING LABELS....

OF COURSE, AFTER LABELING, I ORGANIZED THEM ALL IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER. IT BOTHERS ME THAT THE LABELS DON'T ALL PRINT OUT THE SAME LENGTH, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE ALL THAT EXTRA TIME PUTTING IN SO MANY SPACES AND ALL THAT EITHER. *WINK WINK*  NEEDLESS TO SAY, THEY STAYED ALL DIFFERENT SIZES. HEY, AT LEAST THEY ARE LABELED, RIGHT?!? *LOL*

JUST ANOTHER TIP FOR USING THESE ENVELOPES.... 

FORTUNATELY FOR ME, I OVER ESTIMATED HOW MANY I WOULD NEED, SO I OVER PURCHASED BY 3. IN LOOKING AROUND TO SEE WHAT I COULD USE THEM FOR, I FOUND THAT IT WORKS PERFECTLY FOR STORING EMBOSSING FOLDER SETS AS WELL!!  

KEEPING ALL OF THE FOLDERS FOR THAT SET IN ONE NEAT PACKAGE!!  YAY ME!

BEFORE

AFTER

ONCE AGAIN, THANKS SO MUCH FOR VISITING "FASHIONED IN FAITH"!! COME BACK TO SEE ME REAL SOON, AND DON'T FORGET TO "FOLLOW"... YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT CREATIVITY YOU WILL FIND AROUND THE NEXT CORNER. UNTIL NEXT TIME, AS ALWAYS,

HAPPY SCRAPPIN'...
