Almsot Artisan 3-d Project The Final Project

So now that I have finally showed you all the "pieces" to my 3-d project here it is all put together!!


A jewelry holder!! I thought it came out great it was a bit of work but it was worth it!!! I cut out the butterfly with my big shot and the Beautiful Butterfly die using thin corkboard and then decorated them up with pearls from the pretties kit and ribbon. I'm thinking of making a few for Christmas gifts this year (if I can make some time)! Hopefully my missing 2 projects will be on display at convention so I can get some pictures of them since somehow I forgot. Happy Stamping!

Almost Artisan 3-d Project Part 5

This is the last separate part of my 3-d project; another set of jewelry.

This is a bracelet and earrings set. They were also made with the pretties kit and pink duo beads. I had a lot of fun making them and will have to make some for myself!! Happy Stamping!

Almsot Artisan 3-d Project Part 4

Here is the next piece to my 3-d project. It's a necklace and earring set!

I made this with an earring kit, pretties kit as well as the silver bead duo. The earring kit I picked up at a craft store. Happy Stamping!

Almost Artision 3-5 Project part 3

Here is the next piece from my 3-d project ... cute little earrings!


I made these using the pretties kit. The were very simple to make with a jewelry making kit. It's bummer that they discontinued the pretties kit.

I have also added the links to all the new catalogs and you can find them on my right side bar! There is a ton of new fun stuff and I love it all! Happy Stamping!

Artisan 3-D Project part 2

This was another hair clip I created.

I created this set of hair clips using the eyelet border punch along a long strip of paper then created flowers with them. I add rhinestone brads to add a little bling to them as well spritzing them with shimmer paint. Happy Stamping!

Artisan 3-D Project part 1

This next project was a collection of sorts so I am going to show each piece before I share the final project.

I made these little hair clips with foam that I cut little flowers out of using the big shot and the baskets and bloom die. After that I heated them slightly and then glued a half pearl from the pretties kit. Happy Stamping!!

Artisan Scrapbook Project #3

Here is what I submitted as my last scrapbook project. This one was my favorite!!






I created the titles with My Digital Studio. I used the Viola stamp set and paper pierced the guy. To make the book I used five of our large flat cellophane bags and sandwiched them between red card stock and tied them all together with hemp. I used several of the clip from the clip assortment to help hold the pages in. Overall the page is 8x8. Happy Stamping!!

Artisan Scrapbook Project #2

Here is my second submission for scrapbook pages.

These are a few pictures of when the Traveling Vietnam Memorial cam through town. This page is pretty simple I used Classic Stars and Hero jumbo wheels, the star bards as well as My Digital Studio. Happy Stamping!!

Artisan Scrapbook Project #1

Since I never took a picture of my 5th card project I am going to move on to the scrapbook pages. Hopefully when I go to convention my last card project will be on the display boards and I can get a picture then.

This is a page of our crazy dog Aspen. It's a 12x12 spread. I made the title using My Digital Studio. The stamp set I used was D is for Dog. To make the paper bones I cut out chipboard with my big shot and the magnetic movers and shapers heart and tag pieces and then pieced them together to get the bone shape. I then covered them with cardstock from the patterns pack paper. Happy Stamping!!

Almost Artisan Project #4

This is the next card project I created for my artisan submissions. This first set of three pictures is the original project.

I had originally created this card for Stampin Addicts Birthday Blog Hop back in February using the stamp set Greetings Earthling. At this time I was going back an forth about whether or not I should even enter the contest. I liked this card so much I decide I wouldn't use it for the blog hop but instead make another one for the contest. So I changed it just a little bit and made this one to send in.

It's the same one just a little crisper and a bit more done up.

The inside I did just a bit different. I didn't add the rolled back image but added a few more characters; plus I changed the colors to the lights on the UFO. To create the UFO I used the pop up ball die and then I covered it with versamark. To get the silver sparkles I mixed then Fine Galaxy Silver Glitter with clear embossing powder. This was by far my favorite project!! Hopefully I will get to see it again on the display boards at convention! Happy Stamping!

Almost Artisan Project #3

This was my submission under the category I call quick and simple and I thought it was too cute!

To make this card I used Cheers to You. I stamped the wine glasses in gold and then embossed with clear embossing powder and added some iridescent ice ice to make it look like the glasses had some liquid in them. I used the word sparkle from Warm Words and did that with versamark and iridescent ice as well. But my favorite part is the little bow!! The card is smaller and measures like 2 x3. Happy Stamping!

Almost Artisan Project #2

I wanted to include a masculine card in my projects so I came up with this little beauty!

I really loved how this card came out and at the time it was a card I would not normally put together and now I like to layer more. That's the great thing about this contest it really pushes to be your best! I used Extreme Elements and Extreme Snowboard. I stamped in versamark the larger background stamp from extreme elements behind the guy to make it look like snow spray and then embossed it with iridescent ice; it made a really cool effect! The snowflakes are cut with my big shot and snowflakes #2. I think I will be using this same concept on my snow play pictures if and when I scrapbook them! Happy Stamping!!

Almost Artisan Project #1

As I was saying several posts back I entered the Artisan Contest that Stampin' Up! held and I wish I could say I was a winner. In some rights I am though because I really went out there and tried ... this was my first time entering and I learned lots!

As I was getting the photo cropped and ready I noticed that I forgot to take a couple of pictures so I only have 8 projects to share ... what's even worse I can't remember what the 5th card I sent even was! Anyways here is the first card I made:

It uses the Flores Suaves stamp set in the Spanish Supplement; one of my favorites because of that cute little butterfly! I don't usually use so many layers but it worked out perfectly for this card. The background layer I did the reinker spread technique in reverse and LOVE how it came out. I water colored the butterfly after I embossed the image and then spritzed it with shimmer paint. So what all do you think?? Happy Stamping!


ETA: I also wanted to share the sites to the other gals who are posting or have already posted their submissions!! A ton of creativity out there and some super ideas!! So when you get a chance check them out :)
