Conjurer of Dreams: Vintage Vixens

Hello

Today I'm sharing some projects I made using Conjurer of Dreams images. I hope you'll pop over to the store and take a look at the Digital Art on sale for collage, scrapbooks, journals, cards and more.

We have an open, worldwide challenge at the Conjurer of Dreams Blog.

The challenge theme is always 'Anything Goes' and this month we have a twist of 'Vintage Vixens'.

We hope you'll share your projects with us.

We also have a friendly Facebook Group where we would love for you to share your Conjurer of Dream projects.

Here is what I made:

A set of ATCs:

I used the Vintage Vixens set and fussy cut the girls. they are placed on design paper with fibres and backed on gold card.

***

A card

This is a beautiful image from Vexing Vixens. I popped the image panel, once inked around the edges with Vintage Photo ink, on foam pads and printed a sentiment.

***

A Rolodex card:

This image is from the Inked Mistress set. She reminds me od a strong, powerful woman so her sentiment reflects her ideaology.

***

Another card:

This card uses an image from a set called Glamour.

***

A second rolodex card:

This beauty is from the Bejewelled collage set. She'son a die cut rolodex card covered with design paper. She has silver trim, diamonds, and pearls for embellishments.

Crafts Galore Encore: Cats with Cups

 

Hello

and 

Happy New Year!

Today sees that start of a new challenge at Crafts Galore Encore. 

The theme is always 'Anything Goes' and you can enter up to 3 different projects.  The challenge runs all month until mid day (GMT) 30th January..

This month's challenge is sponsored by the wonderful Wendy from WendyLynn's Paper Whims and the random winner will receive their choice of 2 digital collage sheets from her store..

Here is what I made:

It's a mini book made from memorydex die cut cards. 

Here are the inside pages:

I coloured the card using Distress Inks on an acrylic block. The inks were spritzed with water then stamped onto the card. Once dry, I stamped some patterns and added some heat embossed script writing. Some white paint splatters were also added.

The gorgeous collage sheet, called Cats with Cups, was cut up to reveal 8 beautiful woodblock style cats. Aren't they adorable. I inked around the edges of each block in black ink and adhered them to the pages.

I gathered some cat quotes from an internet search and typed them into word. They were printed and cut into strips. The strips were adhered and partly outlined in black pen.

And here is the back of the booklet:

The booklet is held together with discs.

***

That's all for now.

Please pop over to Crafts Galore Encore to see the DT's wonderful designs and to enter our challenge. 

We'd love to see your creations.

Remember the challenge is always 'Anything Goes' and so you can create any type of project - it doesn't have to be a card and you can enter up to 3 times.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Gecko Galz: Tags of Christmas

Gecko Galz

Tag of the Day

 

I layered red, white glitter card and turquoise satin card for the tag, putting an eyelet through the top and red gingham ribbon.

White Frontage was scattered and heat embossed to replicate snow along with some 3D snowflake stickers. The retro snow lady is from the Christmas Beauties collage set, she was partly fussy cut and popped in a corner.

Thank you for stopping by today.

(To download: Right click to save)

This is what I've created using the sheet:

A Christmas Banner:

Here's a close up of one of the six flags:

Six large flags were die cut and six smaller flags. They were placed one on top of the other. A gold rosette was made and topped with die cut circles as the base for the images. Die cut foliage and die cut paper flowers were added as well as three gold jingle bells on twine suspended from the centre of each flag. Red velvet ribbon was threaded through the eyelets at the top of each flag.

***

A couple of Table Placement Settings:

I used mini terracotta plant pots and filled them with hot glue. Distress Oxide coloured Christmas trees were placed at the back and some moss and pine foliage at the front. I added some berries and a pine cone, along with some white paint splatters  and added one of the fussy cut critters. A label displays the name and a tiny gingham bow finished the ornament off. 

***

A Tree Decoration:

The wood slice was finger painted with acrylic paint in blue and white and the fussy cut image was adhered. Pine leaves and a pine cone were placed at the top with some red berries and a gingham bow. A gold ribbon trim was added to. hang the wood slice ornament from the tree.

***

Christmas Caroller's Lamp:

I've had this. little wooden house for ages. The front slides out to reveal a drawer.  I covered the walls with wood style paper. A battery operated tea light was popped inside. Some die cut trees were paced around the house and an array of critters were fussy cut from the images and placed outside the house as carol singers. I added crystal snow for a wintery feel.

***

Christmas Table Decor with lights:

These toadstools were on sale at our local shop. I arranged them on a thick, wood slice plaque which I covered with dried moss. The critters were fussy cut and placed below the toadstools. Some fairy lights were wound around the wood slice.

***
Wobble Card:

I used a piece of design card for the base of the card - I liked this card as it is a music score for a Christmas Carol. I added the fussy cut critters on a wobble mechanism.
