Design Team Project #2 Featuring Kaisercraft ....

Morning everyone, today I am back with my second project of the week featuring the gorgeous Base Coat Collection from Kaisercraft.

To create the tag background I started by using a Size 12 Black Tag from Ranger then mirroring a slightly smaller tag using the "Whitewash Cardstock" from the Base Coat Collection. I then added some stamping by using the Clear Flutter Stamp using Archival Ink (Jet Black).

I then layered a strip from the reverse side of the "Whitewash Cardstock" onto the inner tag. Next I die cut hearts using a Sizzix die, again using the "Whitewash Cardstock" and adhered with 3d foam to add some dimension.

The "Words" are Kaisercraft Secret Admirer Clear Stamps (also included in this months kit) which have been stamped using Archival Ink (Jet Black). I then mounted the tags onto some recycled  corrugated cardboard and randomly drybrushed Stone Fresco Paint.

I will be back over the weekend with another make using this collection. Until then ....

Design Team Project #1 Featuring Kaisercraft ....

Good morning everyone, today see's the design team kick off the week with a new set of goodies this month using a selection of Kaisercraft products from the Base Coat Collection.

But first we need to choose the Random Comment winner from last month ....

 

No 10 which corresponds with Judith Smith (Poppy Cottage) ... congratulations Judith please email Snazzys with your details.

For my first project I covered this decorative frame from the Fancy Oval Frame Art Parts Set using the 12x12 Concrete cardstock which was applied using Cosmic Shimmer Glue then sanded around the edges. The "Face" image is from Stampers Anonymous Classic #5 collection, again stamped on the above cardstock.

 I've used the clear Flutter stamp also by Kaisercraft using Archival Ink (Jet Black).

then adding some more layers by stamping the Journal Clear Stamp also in this months collection by Kaisercraft.

I then added extra splashes of colour by flicking some Dylusions Spray onto the background (Calypso Teal, White Linen & Black Marble).

 

The quote is also from the Classics #5 collection which I've cut down, coloured the edges using a Distress Marker (Black Soot) and used 3d foam pads to add extra dimension to some of the words.

I'll be back on Wednesday with another project using the Base Coat collection.  Until then ....

DT Project #2 By Gillian ....

Good morning everyone, Gillian here with one more project to share before the week is out. The Engraver Collection from Prima is a truly beautiful collection so with this project I wanted to try and keep it clean, simple and elegant (which is most unlike me).

For this 8x8 card I have layered the following papers from the collection .... Arcade, Black Leaf & Roulette.

I stamped the "butterfly" image from the Cling Mount Stamps onto co-ordinating cardstock from the collection and mounted using 3d foam pads then added some crystals for the antenna then I added a dimensional vintage ticket adhering using Cosmic Shimmer Glue.

The word "Memories", "Ruler" image and the "Lace Clock" image are from the Cling Mount Stamps Engraver which have been stamped using Archival Ink (Jet Black).

To create some dimensional detail to the card I have added a Heart Doily, some Say It In Crystals bling and some Mini Paper Rose Stems.

I hope you have enjoyed this project, Lesley will be back on Monday sharing her projects using the Engraver Collection. Don't forget by leaving a comment HERE you could be in with a chance of winning this collection. Until next time ....

Snazzy DT Project #1 Prima Engraver Collection

Good morning everyone Gillian here to kick start another month of projects for Snazzy's. If you read yesterdays post you may have saw that we are working with the scrummy Prima Engraver Collection ( I can tell ya we all did a happy dance when we received this kit) ... and its available online now either individually or as a collection. Can't wait to see what the design team create with this kit.

Now you know I love all things Studio 490 by Wendy Vecchi so it will be no surprise when I tell you my base for this project is a Studio 490 Art Parts SweetHeart Frame perfect I thought for these papers.

I started out by deciding what cardstock I wanted to use to cover the main heart shape, I was immediately drawn to the boldness of the Atlas sheet, simply trace round the heart and cut out, I then used Cosmic Shimmer Glue to adhere the cardstock, then chose collage images from different papers. Instead of using the apperture in the centre of the heart I opted to use it as a feature to the left of the heart. 

In this collection there are the most yummy paper roses, I have sprayed mine with Dylusions Spray (Black Marble) then highlighted areas with Treasure Gold (Classic)

 

 The "Memories" stamp is from the Engraver Cling Mount Stamp Set.

I finished off by adding more Treasure Gold around the edges of the heart then adding some eye hooks & metal chain to hang the heart .... perfect gift for Valentines day me thinks!

The ruler images are from the Cartouche sheet which have been trimmed to size. The numbers are from the Engraver Cling Mounted Stamp Set which have been inked using Archival Ink (Jet Black).

and *unlike me* some Crystal Bling to jazz things up .... (also included in the collection).

Until next time ....

DT Project #1 .... It's All About The MDF Man!

Good morning everyone it's great to be back after our festive break .... the design team are raring to go again with this months kit (will certainly get the cogs ticking that's for sure).

This month the DT will be working with the following shapes courtsey of The MDF Man - so we have a free reign this month in terms of creativity. Look forward to seeing the design team members interpretation.

For me their was only one way to go with this .... out & out grunge (sorry folks if that is not your thing).

I started out by using Distress Ink (Antique Linen) on all the cogs, after adding a couple of layers I then inked the edges with Distress Ink (Walnut Stain). The largest of the cogs was then stamped using Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Classics #6 in Archival Ink (Sepia). I then applied a second layer of stamping using the "text" stamp from Tim Holtz World Traveller Stamp Set, this time using Archival Ink (Jet Black).

 The small cog at the top was stamped using the large background from Tim Holtz Remnants stamp Set.

I stamped the "face" image (from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Classics #5) onto cardstock and cut to size, the quote is from Tim Holtz World Traveller Stamp Set ....

.... which was cut up into small bits rather than keeping it as one long sentence.

 

I've used Tim Holtz Ideaology to decorate - Hitch Fasteners, Clock Face & Game Spinner which were coloured using Metallic Distress Stain (Antique Bronze), I've also used an Ideaology key.

I hope you have enjoyed this project, it sure was fun to do .... don't forget to leave a comment here to be in with a chance of winning the random comment prize drawn after Hels week.

Hey Snazzy followers it's time to share my third and final project this week using the Christmas Cottage Collection by Teresa Collins .... meet the "Distressed Old Bird"

For todays project I started out by using the Studio 490 Birds With Wings Art Part Set which has been covered with the Medallion cardstock from the collection, I then stamped the "music notes" from the Christmas Cottage Clear Stamp Set in Archival Ink (Coffee). I adhered the paper using Cosmic Shimmer Glue

I inked the cog which is from the Steampunk Gears & More Art Parts Set with Distress Ink Festive Berries then stamped the star image from the Christmas Cottage Clear Stamp onto the brad which is from the Decorative Brad Set. The hat is from Blossom Bucket Embellishments by Studio 490 which I have coloured using Treasure Gold (Onyxite).

As with the steps above I used the reverse cardstock from Doily Trees, stamping the "25" image again from the Christmas Cottage Clear Stamp Set this time using Archival Ink (Jet Black) then adding some Tim Holtz Ideaology.

For the legs I cut out cardstock from the collection (Countdown & Tiny Flowers) again adding some Tim Holtz Mini Gears. The wooden base was inked with Distress Ink (Gathered Twigs) and highlighted with Treasure Gold (Renaissance).

Design Team Project #3 ....

 Good morning everyone, I'm back with my final project using the Darkroom Door London Collection stamp set and yes it's another card this time with a vintage feel to reflect the main stamp image.

 I started by layering a sheet of printed newspaper imagery from the Kaisercraft Black & White Timeless Paper Pad to 6x6 Kraft cardstock, which was then swiped over with Distress Ink (Vintage Photo), the edges have been distressed using the Tim Holtz Tonic Paper Distresser and then edged with Archival Ink (Coffee).

 To adhere the centre piece, the strip along the bottom & the Ideaology Word Band I have used my new fav 3d product .. Stix2 Clear Foam On A Roll (available from Snazzy's).

For the centre panel I used Manilla cardstock which has been inked with Vintage Photo, then spritzed with water, again it has been distressed at the edges and inked as above.
