Shernocky Crafts - Tags

Hiya Crafty froends,

As promised, here are the tags that I have made to go with my 'Turn The Page' project

Supplies used (available from Shernocky Crafts):

• PaperArtsy Stamps - HPXTO1,  
• PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paint - Baltic Blue,  
•  Distress Ink - Vintage Photo, Tea Dye, Fired Brick, Tattered Rose and Victorian Velvet

There are some great background stamps in this set. I particularly like this map and also the postage mark stamps, which stamp beautifully.

I added the blue elements by watering down the Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paint (this is such a versatile paint)  and brushing onto the areas I wanted to highlight.

I used the fab cog and oriental text stamps on this tag. I after distressing I used the watered down paint wash all over to give a weathered look.

 Another great stamp in the clock face. I used pretty much the same technique on this tag as the one above, but instead of washing the whole tag I just just highlighted some of the lighter faces

Again, the same technicque was used on these last two tags, but this time at the end of the process I spritz the tag, quite heavily, to give a real bleaching effect.

All these tags now live in each of the pages of the book.

My mum now owns this book and is adding photographs to each of the tags...love that idea!!

Tag! You're it :)

Hiya crafty friends,

Todays Creativity Club make is made using part three of the gorgeous Renaissance collection. It's a fantastic collection to work with. I love the vintage feel to it, which could be used on so many different projects.

I decided to make three tags as I really wanted to use all the different papers, which work so good together. And I am so glad I did!!

Please ignore the fact that there is no hole. I forgot to do it before a took the photo's and I've only just noticed...doh!...lol!

I really like script backing paper and love the way it has been combined wit he damask design...very classy!

 

I especially like the blue one.

 

As I am week behind in my Creativity club makes. Keep your eyes peeled this week for another club project. And as s crafters we know that July ''Tis the season to be jolly', so it will definitely have a christmassy feel.

Shernocky Crafts - Turn the page

Hiya Crafty friends,

I wanted share with you my loooong delayed Shernocky Crafts DT project.

I had been mulling over what to do with my small manila envelopes I got in my DT pack for a while (changing my mind many times). When I finally decided to do a book, it then took on a life of it's own. The finished project ended up being completely different to what I had planned at the beginning. It was going to be white, but as you can see it didn't end up that way...lol :)

Supplies used (available from Shernocky Crafts):

• PaperArtsy Stamps - HPXTO1,  
• PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paint - Baltic Blue,  
• Jute Ribbon, 
• Small manila envelopes
•  Distress Ink - Vintage Photo, Tea Dye, Fired Brick, Tattered Rose and Victorian Velvet

 

I love how the distress ink have made the envelope I used to cover the front look like old leather, and believe it or not it sort of has a feel of it too :)

The sentiment on the front was cut with my Silhouette Cameo and then coloured with a walnut Promarker

I embellished the spine with some 'left-overs' from the lattice I cut for the pages (see below)

The page tabs where cut out from a silhouette file, which I them coloured with Fired Brick Distress ink

.

The front of the pages where decorated with the PaperArtsy stamp set using Tattered Rose and Victorian Velvet distress ink and the back of the pages were decorated with lattice work, which I coloured with Tea Dye Distress Ink.

Pop by next week and I will share with you the tags I have made to go in each pocket :)

Shernocky Crafts - Stamped Album

Hiya crafty friends,

It's time again for my Shernocky Crafts project!!

This weeks project is something a little different for me, as I enjoy a bit of experimenting and learning through it :)

For today's project I have used, which are all available from the Shernocky Shop:

•  PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paint - Baltic Blue
•  PaperArtsy Stamps - HPXTO1
•  PolyView Photo Display Book
• Indigo Blu  - Ella Bella
• Hobby House Pearl Brads
• Hobby House Ribbon

I have never stamped with paint before (well not since nursery school...lol) and as this paint says it pretty much can be used on anything, I thought I would give it a go on the display book.

The paint stamped great! But unfortunately it is possible to scratch it off. Maybe I should have sanded the cover a bit to give it a anchor. But a lesson learned.

So this design does not scratch off I am going to cover it with clear contact film, so I can retain the effect the paint has given.

 

It's the Renaissance...

Hiya crafty friends,

Gradually catching up with the Creativity Club downloads I have missed, and I have to say this collection 'Renaissance'  is one (of many) of my favourites. And even if I do say so myself,, I am really pleased with the end result.

I love making paper flowers, and the download designs worked perfectly with them.

 

The 'Congrats' sentiment was cut out from the same download of the flowers

 

I love the the subtle green download I used to make the box it's self...it's gorgeous!!!

 

The whole box was fully designed made using my Silhouette Cameo. I couldn't believe how easy it was to drag and drop the download pattern paper in the designs in Silhouette software. It certainly saves ink! :) I really don't know where I'd be without this machine now :)

You are my sunshine

Hiya crafty friends,

Well, the sun is still scorching here in the UK and the summer holidays are on the horizon (*GULP*). So this weeks Creativity Club download could not have come at a better time.

I have made a very summery gift bag and card. The template (Triangle Gift Box Project) for the bag can be found in the Creativity Club download section, and there is also an accompanying video in the Creativity TV section by the fabulous Jo Austin.

The button was made by cutting multible buttons and then layer and glue on the top of each other (I used three layers for the middle section, and six layers for the outer edge)

Inside the flap is a 'You are my sunshine' sentiment, that I cut out using my Silhouette Cameo
