Beach Memories

Hi, Kathi here to share with you my beach layout. This layout will hold two beach photo's. I combined Gina's laser chipboard and shells found at the beach in Hawaii. 

 

 Chainlink 8" x 8" panel with real seashells from Hawaii. Along the bottom is the  Beach College Border and a lobster from Beach Shape Set.

The chair and fence are from the Beach Shape Set. I love how the fence turned out!

Layout

Good day everyone. Shanna here to share a new layout I created.

I left my chipboard pretty basic although my stars really had to shine.

I added glass glitter with some gloss gel medium to keep up the shine in any gaps.

I left the chain-link blank because I think it popped off all of the colors. I love adding the rest of the embellishments but I think my favorite was the stars.

Items Used:

Chainlink 8x8 Panel

Celestial Shape Set

Mixed Media Canvas by Kim "Discoveries"

Happy Friday everyone! Today I have created a fun mixed media canvas using some of Gina's amazing products.

I have used the Flourish Circle Frames as the main focus on my canvas, and used several layers of mixed media on them, including paints, inks, texture paste and Tim Holtz distress paint.  In the center of the Flourish Frame, I have placed a bee which I made from some clay.

Below you can see some of the techniques I used on the Flourish.

I embellished around the Flourish Frame with some lovely flowers in whites, blues and yellows, along with some of the gears from the Gears Borders & Corners Set.  I also used one of the Steampunk doilies.  After distressing it, I cut the gears out from the doily and tucked them in with the flowers. In the background you can see some of the Chain Link Fence, which I embossed in black to contrast with the bright colors I used.  I topped that area off with some of the numbers from the Chunky Borders set.

I used a sentiment stamp from Rubbermoon as you can see below.  It is a quote by Picasso, which I just love. To the right you can see a close up of the Numbers from the chunky borders set, which I embossed.

I hope you have enjoyed taking a peek at my canvas today, thanks for stopping by!

Spring Birdhouse

Happy Saturday my pretty butterflies!  This is Crafting Marfa today!  Spring is here and so are craft projects!  You all know by now my love affair with birdhouses, so it shouldn't surprise you to see that one of my first spring projects is, of course, a birdhouse!  During the entire month of March the Design Teams for both Gina's Designs and Craftsupplies1 are having a collaboration.  We each get to work with both companies' amazing products.  I am the luckiest girl ever to get to create with such beautiful products.  This time I am sorry for my mother but she is not keeping this birdhouse :-D  It is going to be somewhere where I can look at it often!

A Mixed Media Layout by Melissa and a Wall Art Project by Marfa

Hi everyone!  Today we have two amazing and very different projects to share.  Both projects today are part of our month long cross promotional with CraftSupplies1.  The ladies on both teams have done an amazing job combining the products.  First up is Melissa with layout in soft pink vintage tones.

Hi, it's Melissa here with a layout using Gina's Designs Lasercuts, and items from Craftsupplies 1

In this project I wanted my layout to reflect the detail of the photo. I began by painting watercolor paper with watercolors to get a soft and delicate look.  I added texture paste, and used the same paint.  I also  applied Twinkling H20s , and art deco pen ink. 

I like how well the chipboard complements the era.   I especially like the fan, and how it gives a very feminine touch to the page.

Steampunk 2 Shape Set

Next up is Marfa with a project she is calling "Spring Sweet Spring".  I love the colors she used and the techniques for coloring the chipboard. 

Good morning chickadees!  This is Crafting Marfa with you today.  This month Gina's Designs and Craftsupplies1 are having a cross-promotion.  Both teams have received products from each store.  Today I'm sharing my Spring Sweet Spring canvas.  Its not really a "canvas" because I used a 12 x 12 slab of wood.  I've been in the mood to do something related to Spring because it is cheerful and I love cheerful things.  I created the background by first covering the wood with white gesso.  Then I sprayed ink and rubbed it around with a piece of paper towel.  I used lots of chippies from Gina's Designs.  I also used lots of roses and butterflies from Craftsupplies1.  I coated the chipboard shapes with white gesso and then I colored them with Copic markers.  If I didn't use gesso first the chipboard would not have shown the ink from the Copic markers.  I hot glued everything down (burned my fingers a couple of times too...lol), then  I finished the canvas with a little doodling and a little lettering.  I had already attached a sawtooth hanger and now my art piece is hanging on a wall in my dining room.  Scroll past the photo for a list of supplies :-)
