Today is our big finale of this week's playtime with Stampendous, Woodware Craft Collection and Dreamweaver Stencils (which have now become part of the Stampendous family). If you've missed my previous post with the Blossom Bunch necklace you can find it here.

This week's collaboration is super special as it is a celebration of many years of successful working relationship (and friendship!) of these three companies. The lovely Team at Woodware has worked tirelessly distributing Stampendous & Dreamweaver goodies. Yes, it's them who make it all possible for UK's retailers (and crafters) to get their crafty hands on these fantastic products.

This fantastic blog hop, apart from amazing projects also brings you the opportunity to win amazing prizes. And the super cool thing is that this time UK crafters can also participate in the giveaway - how awesome is that!

We’ll be offering three prizes in the UK and three in the US. Each prize package will consist of Nathalie Kalbach’s terrific Grunge Mixed Media Cling Rubber Stamp Sets and the beautiful Zen Butterfly Dreamweaver Stencil. Both products are ideal for adding texture and backgrounds to your projects!

Deadline to comment is Sunday, March 29th, Pacific Time. Winners will be picked using random.org and announced Tuesday, March 31st, in the afternoon.

So today I have an anniversary card I made for my SIL and BIL :). This card was a bit of an experiment with the new (fabulous!) pop up die set from Stampendous -  Build a Pop Up Die Set.

Shabby Shutters for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Re-edited: Woot woot! My card has been chosen a Saturday Spotlight at Fashionable Stamping Challenges! Yay!!!

Witajcie drodzy Blogowiczanie! Dzisiaj chciałabym się podzielić DT kartką, którą przygotowałam dla Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. Spis materiałów zamieściłam poniżej a dokładne detale opisałam na blogu firmowym TUTAJ. Opis jest po angielsku ale dla zainteresowanych chętnie również dopiszę wersję po polsku :). 

Dziękuję za wizytę i za pozostawione komentarze :).

Hello Friends!

I am soooo delighted to see new Followers joining my blog - thank you so much and make yourself at home! :0)

Today I have a DT card to share which I prepared for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. I won't go into too much detail here, as you can read all about my card HERE (and I would be really happy if you did! lol).

If you subscribe to the UK's Craft Stamper magazine you might recognise this stamp from the July issue. 

When I  saw this little Mackintosh-inspired rose stamp I immediately thought of stained glass windows. And I just had to have a go at creating a stained glass effect using acetate, stamps and inks :).

I know you might first associate stained glass with Gothic cathedrals. But as I'm not too much of a 'Gothic kinda gal', I decided to put a shabby - chic - cottagey spin on it. Funnily enough, one of the inks I used is called Gothic Purple lol :). So here is my Shabby Shutters card.

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L's Supplies:

E-Z Dots® Mini Permanent, MyStik® Permanent Strips, White 3D Foam Squares Regular and White 3D Foam Squares - Small, Black 3D Foam Squares - Regular, White Crafty Foam Tape, DODZ™ - 3D, DODZ™ - Small, 3d Foam Leaves, 3D Foam Cupcakes, 3D Foam Garden Shapes.

Other Supplies:

Stamp - Craft Stamper Magazine, July 2014 free stamp; Papers: 7Dots Studio Dreamer Collection and Bazzill Basics Paper; Wendy Vecchi - Blossom Bucket - Shutters

Stencils - brick stencil, Tim Holtz Shutter; 

Cutting Dies: Marianne Design CR1213 and LR0205,

Inks: Imagine Crafts StazOn Claret, Gothic Purple, Cactus Green, Cherry Pink, Mustard, Jet Black, Memento Tuxedo Black; Colouring: STAEDTLER ergosoft® aquarell pencils, Spectrum Noir markers, DecoArt Americana paints.

Glitters: Stampendous Pink Micro Glitter, Sea Green Ultra Fine Jewel Glitter.

Today is my first day back at work after the op... so please keep your fingers crossed for me that all goes well! :)

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a fabulous week!
Big crafty hugs

Summer On My Mind - with Stampendous and Dreamweaver

Hello everyone and welcome to the Stampendous and Dreamweaver Blog Play - Day 4. Tomorrow is the big finale so do make sure to pop back! This week we've been dreaming of stencils and stamps - a fabulous combination, if you ask me!

My biggest highlight of the week is the set we chose to play with - the Blossom Beauty stamps and the matching Cutting Die set. I absolutely love this new collection and the matching dies, they make crafting so much quicker and so much more enjoyable! We also have some fun free hair templates for your Blossom Beauty that you can download here. Both teams have really rocked this set so do check out all the amazing projects shared this week.

Oh and of course - there are prizes, too! There will be three bundles for grabs - and the teaser picture is below. All you have to do is to comment on the posts shared this week as part of the Dream-pendous play. The more you comment, the bigger chance you have of winning!

For my inspiration today I am sharing a calendar journal page. Now, before you ask why it's an August one... 

At the beginning of the year I made a resolution (one of many!) to finish all projects I started in the past and never completed. Many moons ago I began creating a calendar where I could keep track of all the birthdays and anniversaries I need to remember about. The inspiration behind it was the 'challenge' started by Kate Crane from The Kathryn Wheel. So far I've done April, June, July and October so I only have a few months left to do...LOL. I chose to make the August page - I suppose I already have summer on my mind!

The background for my page was created with the DecoArt Americana acrylic paints smooshed around on the Creative Palette Monoprinting Plate. To add depth I layered lots of stamping with Mish Mesh, Grunge and Wired stamp plates - these are perfect for mixed media backgrounds.

I also fussy cut some lovely images from a napkin and added them to the page. To add texture the images were covered with Translucent Embossing Paste through sequin waste and sprinkled with a touch of Crystal Micro Glitter.

Next I sponged lovely neon inks all over the page through the Summer stencil. Then I was ready to stamp my Blossom Beauty. I coloured her with PITT pens  and aquarell pencils. I also gave her a little hat which I made using the Hydrangea Garden stamp and the Cutting Die set.

For the August banner I used some old paint swatch cards stamped with the Vintage Lowercase stamps and pins from the Smash Notes clear set.

The days were punched from Crafty Individual papers.

Additional supplies I used:
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L - Mounting Squares, MyStik® Permanent Strips, Adhesive Sheets
Tsukineko (Imagine Crafts) - Jet Black and Blue Hawaii StazOn Minis, Memento Grape Jelly, Radiant Neons - Electric Blue, Purple and Pink
Staedtler - ergosoft aquarell pencils
Faber- Castell - India Ink PITT Artist Pens

I hope you enjoyed my offering today. There is still more inspiration today for your viewing pleasure so make sure to check out the following:

Snowy postcard and Stampendous with Clearsnap Christmas get together!

Good Tuesday morning to all!
This week Stampendous gals are playing with ClearSnap for a full week of fabulous inspiration and goodies to be won.

To be in a chance of winning some great prizes hop along this week & leave some love on the companies' blogs and the participating Design Team members. The more love you leave, the more chances you have to win!

I've finally given in to the seasonal festive vibe and today I am sharing another Christmas project. To create my winter scene I stamped the beautiful Snowy Postcard image onto a cream card with BluejayMix'd Media Inx® Chox Ink by Donna Salazar and heat set it. 

Next I cut the oval part of the scene from the rest of the design and I added some soft colouring to the image with STAEDTLER® ergosoft® aquarell watercolour pencils. The rest of the panel was distressed using Chalk: Cat's Eye® inks.

Next I swiped the Watermark embossing ink over the image, sprinkled it with Crystal Embossing Powder and Chunky White Embossing Enamel (Encrusted Jewel Kit in white) and heated it from underneath.

To assemble my papers and embellishments I used MyStik® Permanent Strips, E-Z Dots® Mini Permanent, Medium and 3D DODZ™. The oval part of the image was mounted over the rest of the card with Crafty Foam Tape.

My snowflakes were die cut from white card covered with Adhesive Sheets (you can also use Sticky Double-Sided panels) and decorated with Gold Halo Glitter Mix. It's difficult to capture it in a photo but the sparkle on this glitter mix is just sensational (you get the benefit of micro and chunky glitter glows). I used Spellbinders Snowflake Pendant die.

My poinsettias were die cut using Layered Poinsettia die and for the centres I used 3D DODZ and Champagne Crushed Glass Glitter.

That's all from me for now. I will be back on Friday with another project during our big blog hop finale! Until then, I invite you all to check out all the other amazing projects shared today:

I ♥ Christmas! Handmade Clay Hearts Recipe

Hello blogging friends! So lovely to see you here today. I've been a bit MIA lately as life again got in the way of crafty blogging. But I hope you are all well!

Today I am sharing a quick and easy Christmas gifts project - clay Christmas tree ornaments. I ♥ Christmas - that's what this post is all about :). And I will also do some cooking today, too! 


You will be glad to know that this month's blog challenge at Stampendous is all about handmade Christmas gifts. Make sure to join the challenge for a chance to win some great goodies! (NB. winner needs to have a US mailing address).

Before I tell you about my project I would first like to announce to announce the winner of my surprise gift from the question I asked in my Move Night layout post. The correct answer was 62 DODZ in total :).

The winner will receive a fabulous set of House-Mouse Designs® rubber stamps from Stampendous :). Without further ado the winner is...

Katie! 

Katie's guess of 50 DODZ was the closest :). Katie, please email me your address and the stamps will be on their way shortly!

Now on to my project. These clay heart ornaments were on my mind ever since I saw the Sweater Square stamp in my DT package and I was itching to play! And I was really excited to see a similar project with wooden hearts in the recent Craft Stamper magazine. This stamp has such a great design - I cannot imagine ever getting tired of it :).

I made a generous batch of clay hearts in two designs using Stampendous cling Sweater Square stamp and a holy branch from the Jumbo Cardinals set. I also used the STAEDTLER® FIMO®air microwave clay in white, a heart shaped cookie cutter and a small rolling pin.

To cure the hearts I cooked them in the microwave :). I will soon share a full tutorial on Stampendous blog, but for now, here's a recipe card for safe keeping!

And here's a piccie of my kitty Kropek (not)helping during the manufacturing process lol.

When I was finished decorating the hearts, I added sparkly treads for hanging onto a tree and popped them in festive goodie bags along with some sweets. 

I also added some simple matching gift tags decorated with sparkly snowflakes (Crystal Micro Glitter sprinkled over the 3D Foam Snowflakes from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L).

This was a really easy and enjoyable 'cooking' process - and I'm lovin' the fact that these delicious hearts are totally fat free! :).

Hope you have a wonderful week!

Witch's Brews and Halloween Poisons

Well, hello Friends! So lovely to see you here today. What a great collaboration week we had with Stampendous and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L with so many beautiful projects shared. My DT Sisters on both teams have really rocked this collab. If you haven't seen those projects yet - it's well worth a look! Thank you all so much for your sweetest comments on my mini album and personalised tape dispensers MyStik. They were really appreciated.

Today I would like to 'bewitch' you with my mixed media brews and potions project. Although I don't really participate in any Halloween adventures, I just couldn't resist playing with this paper mache book which I turned into a Dark Magic home decoration.



Above you can see the front cover of my 'Witch's Brews Anthology' book and below the inside...well, inside you can find everything there is to find in a 'respectable' witch's house lol. Actually I wonder... what are the qualities a respectable witch should posses? Just asking, you know, being curious... no other reason really lol!

I started by covering my book with Adhesive Sheets from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. Next I used some thick string to shape a spider's web on the front and covered it with tissue paper as a texture base for my mixed media assemblage. Not sure if you can clearly see it on the picture below. I'll have some step photos shared on Stampendous blog today - please feel free to have a look there too.

My spooky assemblage of metal flowers, gears, light bulbs, wires, bats and spiders is a combination of DODZ™ - 3D, white gesso, texture paste, black Crushed Glass Glitter, Aged Wine Embossing Enamel, Tattered Angels glimmer mists and Cosmic Shimmer mists.

The paper I used has lovely gold foil 'splatters' which acted as a resist for my inking. The inside of the book was stamped with the fabulous stamps from the Perfectly Clear sets Halloween Charms, Chandelier and Damask Chair. And can you see those blood splatters inside? I used food colouring potion (that now happily lives in the Blood Vial) and flicked it with a paintbrush. NB. A word of caution. Food colouring seems to stay on your fingers forever. I suggest using gloves for that step. I didn't. Bad move it was :(.

And here you can see how I decorated the title grunge paper alphas (Tim Holtz) - all inked with distress inks and glimmer mist sprays and sparingly heat embossed with the yummy Aged Wine Embossing Enamel.

I also added layers of Aged Wine goodness to the various parts (externally and internally) of the book cover.

Oh, my favourite part now. Here you can see the witch's 'living room' in its full glory, with the lovely chandelier and the damask chair, black cats (foam stickers from a discount store) and beautifully framed pictures of the witch's relatives... well... you know what I mean. Family 'heirloom' stuff lol. All these stamps are available in the UK on the Stamp Man's website :).

And here is the view of all the magical brews and potions from fresh blood, spider juice, random poisons (Trick or Treat Color Fragments) to heather oils (glass glitter and colour fragments from the Purple Encrusted Jewel Kit), stored in vials adorned with Poison Labels.

Oh, there is an old candelabra too! (Made from birthday cake candles and STAEDTLER® FIMO®air microwave). There are lots of creepy crawlies too, inside the bottles and all over the black witch's apothecary...brrr....

So what do you think? Trick or Treat? Treat I hope! 

If you're looking for more inspiration for Halloween themed home decor you might also like to check my Halloween Mixed Media Lantern tutorial.
