I Pledge Folk Art Angle Card

 Hello friends...a new challenge is up over at Lost Coast Designs - 

Challenge #170 Red, White and Blue!! 

Very excited about this challenge...

such a fun way to celebrate this country's independence...

I used the image called Pledge for this card.  I decided she would be perfect to paper piece so I stamped it once onto confetti cardstock using black ink then a second time on white cardstock using Tulip Red ink and clear embossing powder.  Finally I stamped it a third time using Versa Mark ink and white embossing powder on blue cardstock.  I then fussy cut the various parts and assembled her on the black inked image.  The panel was mounted on a piece of Club Scrap musical cardstock and affixed to a red card.  I had some glittery star brads for the perfect finishing touch :)

Hope you can find the time to join in on this fun challenge!

Happy Fall Ya'll Rinea Foiled Card

 

Happy Harvest time friends! Today I wanted to share with you this fun slimline card I made using Rinea Foiled papers and Joy Clair Stamps. It's so fun and easy to make but the final project is a real WOW!

Here's how I made the card....

Step 1 - Trim a card panel 3.5" x 8.5".

Step 2 - Cut background sky and grass by hand or use diecuts as shown here.

Step 3 - Adhere these elements to the card panel.

Step 4 - Stamp desired elements onto Rinea Foiled Paper using StazOn ink - pumpkins, corn stalk, and scarecrow.

Step 5 - Fussy cut all of the stamped bits.

 

Step 6 - Adhere all of the elements to the card.

Step 7 - Stamp sentiment and adhere it to the bottom of the card.

 

You've now got a wonderful fall themed card to brighten anyone's day.

Rinea Foiled TP Roll Owls - Upcycled Kids Craft!

Hello Friends!

I hope you're doing well and are safe from the wicked storms rolling through the central part of the states courtesy of Hurricane Cristobal. Today I wanted to share a fun craft to make with your children...my Foiled TP Roll Owls! Aren't they darling? I had so much fun making them and with a little prep work you will have a parliament of owls in no time at all!

All you need is a 4x6" piece to wrap around the toilet paper roll, several circles cut from your favorite color(s) of Rinea Foiled Paper, a 3"x3" piece to cut out some wings (not shown) and circles cut for the eyes.  That's it! Easy peasy!

I made this owl using the Peacock Foiled Variety Pack...I just LOVE these colors. They are beautiful together and I rather like my Peacock Owl.

This cutie was made using two of the colors from the Floral Variety Foiled Paper Pack - Violet and Fuchsia.  I also used a scallop circle die to cut these circles...I thought it was a fun way to add a bit of texture to her feathers.

And my final traditional little guy was made using Mocha/Gold Glossy and Mocha/Mocha Starstruck foiled papers. I used the reverse side of the Mocha/Gold Glossy for his chest feathers.

If you'd like to give these little critters a go, you can find complete details here: Rinea Foiled Paper Owls with Roni.

Have a lovely day my friends!!!

This is Rinea Foiled Paper #6

Welcome to another fun filled post of techniques to use with Rinea Foiled Papers!

My first technique is really fun - I embossed Jade Foiled Paper then rubbed Rinea Ghost Ink over the entire panel and followed the directions on how to use.  When you are done you will wipe away the ink which also takes the color with it!!  How cool is that - I actually used the reverse side of the embossed foil so the ink was left in the impressions of the ferns. 

I made these flowers to show how pretty it is to mix and match to make a really pretty 3D piece.  I used Violet, Lavender and Blush.

This is another idea on how to incorporate the 3D Hyacinth Die Set into your projects.  Last time I showed you an ear of corn...today I popped that corn for a nifty movie snack!!  How fun is that?

Finally I applied DecoArt Crackle Medium over the panel, let it dry and flaked off various areas. NOTE - if you're not careful you could flake it all off since the paper is slick.  Once I was satisfied with the look I covered the entire piece with a layer of Glaze to secure the remaining medium to the foiled paper.  Such texture!!!

Paper Piecing Farmhouse Chicken

Today I wanted to share a fun card with you using this darling 

Folk Art Farmer Chicken stamp 

from Carmen's Veranda.

This sweet little chicken was stamped 3 times, once in black, once in brown and a third time in blue.  Each section was then colored cut up and reassembled on the image stamped with black ink.  I love paper-piecing images like this because it adds so much depth of color IRL. I only wish that I could capture this in the photos.

Have you tried your hand at paper piecing an image lately?

Did it turn out like you envisioned?

A Bit 'O Paper Piecing

The current challenge at Lost Coast Designs is 

#60 - Paper Piecing.

Long ago when I first started playing with paper I hated paper piecing because I wasn't very good at the fussy cutting...fast forward several years and lost of practicing and I now love it! I find it relaxing to snip here and there and create something beautiful.

And this is what I created for the challenge. 

I LOVE this mannequin stamp set...there are several more in the set but these are some of my fav's.

I hope you stop on over and join in on the fun. 

You could win a gift certificate to LCD/CV if you're the lucky winner!

Mermaid Comp Book

Hello Friends...long time I know. 

(more on that near the end)

I wanted to share a fun comp book that I made using supplies from Rinea and Rita Barakat...

Mermaid Hair!!!

I so want to do this to my hair at some point but for now I will live vicariously through this little lady.  I love the face stencils that Rita has to offer. They give people like me (that can't draw faces) a chance to play with designs like this one. Combine it with Rinea foiled papers and oh my...such fun to be had. I can think of so many fun ideas for this...a witch with green & purple hair, something for the 4th of July w/ RWB hair, a frosty princess for winter. Just think of the fun!

Each piece of the stencil was drawn out onto various colors of the foiled paper and paper pieced to create the finished look. I went back over the entire design with an alcohol marker to add definition and details.  Aside from her hair I especially love her eyes....

What do you think? Fun huh?

For complete assembly and supply list please check out my post over on the Rinea Blog - 

Rita Barakat Mermaid Comp Book

Life has been rough lately so I took some unexpected time off. We found out our Basset Hound - Cecil had a very aggressive, fast growing cancer and there was nothing we could do for him other than manage his pain. We were lucky enough to have a little over a week with him to try to get used to the idea and say goodbye.  Of course there is never enough time but you take what you can get.  I'm sure you can understand that I've not been in much of a crafty frame of mind but time is a salve even if it doesn't make the hurt go away.  Anyway, things are slowly getting back to the new normal...
