Christmas Countdoewn Advent Calendar- Dana Tatar

Image
  Hi friends! Dana here today sharing an upcycled advent calendar. I saved the advent calendar packaging from last year and gave it a new life using products from the Fancy Pants Designs Fruitcake and Tinsel Collection and some of my favorite chipboard sets. I used the Christmas Countdown Title on the front of this calendar box, which I colored simply with a paint marker. While I was assembling the covers, I added red ribbon under the patterned paper so that I could tie the calendar closed. I had a lot of fun painting and embellishing this  Santa Head Shaker . I used paint markers to color the chipboard and then filled the colored segments with matching glitter or sequins. I added a sprig of holly from the  Poinsettia Set  and a blue pompom to Santa's hat.  There wouldn't be a Santa without Rudolph. I added a foam reindeer sticker to the spine of the box and embellished it further with a red rhinestone on the nose. Opening the box reveals more colorful chipbo...

Props Yo! - Dana Tatar

    Hi friends! Dana here today sharing a layout highlighting a recent a cappella performance by my oldest child. They feel right at home singing on center stage, and I love to watch them perform. I used two music themed stencils with black dye ink to add the symbols across the center of the page: Music Bar Stencil and Music To My Ears Stencil . The Film Strip Picture Frame Set was a great way to highlight my photos. I used Mirrored Gold Acrylic Stars to cover up the other teens in the photo. Sorry, not sorry! This was easier than cropping people out and they add a great shine to the page. I selected some words from the 90s Slang Word Set for my title. My child is performing Jay-Z's rap from Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" and nicknamed themselves "Young D" for the song. I thought a slang title paired well with their stage name.

Today Only Happens Once - Dana Tatar

Image
  Hi friends! Dana here today sharing a floral scrapbook layout that features one of my favorite photos of my niece taken this past summer. I've been holding on to this Simple Stories Vintage Indigo Garden Delightful patterned paper for some time now. The darker color palette of this collection feels more like fall to me, so I was happy to finally use this print. The Circle Butterfly Doily Frame was the perfect chipboard piece to pair with this patterned paper. I used paint markers and Distress Oxide Ink to color the frame, and then I embellished further with flowers and Rose Leaves . I chose the Today Only Happens Once chipboard title for this layout. The word only is not attached, so I moved that word to the other side of the piece to create a title that takes up more space to better fill in the top corner of this page. I've taken some creative license! I colored this chipboard with a brown paint marker and then used some gold wax to add a little shimmer to the letters....

Halloween Tag- Lisa Moen

  Hey there Creative Friends! Lisa here with you. Today I am sharing a large spooky zombie tag I created using some fun chipboard from  Creative Embellishments . I took the solid base from the  Flourish Tag Set 1  and used that as my background. I adhered  patterned papers to it with Modge Podge, tearing some of the papers. The orange and black paper is from Rusty Pickle: I used inks to color the  Zombie Infected Area  and added that to the top of my tag: I heat embossed in black the  Haunted House 4  and placed it between some of the layers of green patterned paper from Cosmo Cricket. To the left top of the house, I added a  Mirrored Gold Moon : I heat embossed in white the  Zombie Border  and added that to my tag: I also heat embossed the  Halloween Tree  and placed it on my tag.

Halloween Tags- Jen Dubell

  Hello everyone! Today I have created some spooky fun tags using chipboards from Creative Embellishments! Chipboards used: Jolly Jack-O-Lanterns Palm Foliage To create my tags, I started with black chipboard cut to 3 1/2"X7 1/2" as a base. Patterned paper was cut to 3"X7" tattered and inked on the edges and then adhered to chipboard scraps to elevate them. I added some stamped/embossed spiderwebs and trees and splatters of acrylic. My chipboards were painted using acrylic paints. These were added to my tags at different levels using scrap chipboard and glue along with some moss and black glitter. Tim Holtz Halloween paper dolls were adhered using scrap chipboard on the back as well to elevate them from the tags. Thanks So Much for viewing my project today! All chipboards used and many many more can be found at creativeembellishments.com Happy Crafting!!
