DT Project #1 by Val featuring Kaisercraft Art of Life

Gosh, when I said later, I never imagined days later, but sometimes life just gets in the way!

 Anyways, here is one of this month's workshop projects with the beautiful Art of Life kit - if you haven't seen the kit you can have a look here.

Our younger daughter is 18 this week, she is currently studying engineering and is not really a flowery, girly girl so this little book is for her. The 'bones' of it are made from mount board cut to 4" x 6" with black card stock hinges and spine so it is very robust, an ideal design for a keepsake.

Here are the pages....

... and the back cover.

This workshop will run on Saturday 8 March from 11am to 5pm, it costs £30, and we currently have a couple of spaces available if anyone is interested.

Thank you for stopping by, and for your patience this week. A couple more workshop projects with this kit will be on the store blog next week and Minxy will of course be here next week with more inspiration.

A New DT Kit and A Winner ........

Hello Snazzy followers.

This week sees the start of a new cycle of design team projects using the wonderful Art of Life papers and stamps from Kaisercraft.

The paper kit has 2 each of six double sided papers and a bonus 12x12 sticker sheet, the two stamp sets are CS146 Art of Life and CS154 Film Edges. To this we added a set of the Art of Life Collectables, some dainty cream lace and some linen ribbon......

 

I have added some black mountboard and cardstock to my kit for the first of my workshop projects but I'll keep you guessing about what I made until a little later.

 

 

I must thank everyone who took the time to leave a comment for the DTeamies last month, this is very much appreciated by all of the team, and it's so nice to pop over and have a look at your blogs too - there are a lot of very talented people out there!

 

As a little token of our appreciation, each cycle we will ask Mr Random to pick a comment from all of those left, and the winner will receive a little something from that cycle's DT kit.

 

Last cycle there were 66 eligible comments and congratulations go to the winner of the Jilly Bean Soup stamps, Versafine Ink and WOW EP - #33 massofhair - email me your address and I will get your goodies off to you. (Do pop over and have a peek at her blog too, lots of interesting things!)

 

This cycle we will be giving away one of the Art of Life paper kits the team are using so remember, when you drop by do leave a comment for our DTeamies. 

 

back later

DT Project #3 - Diana - featuring jillibean soup - art journal

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!

i am back one final time with my 'oh how i love thee' art journal page.

i just thought i would pop back and show you what inspiration hit me when i saw the set of jillibean soup heart healthy red bean soup clear stamps along with the versa fine satin red stamp pad and the WOW opaque Bright White embossing powder in my design team kit

it turned out exactly as i hoped it would! this for sure will be a set of stamps i use over and over on those 'love type' pages i create!

that's it from me! see you next month!

DT Project #2 - Diana featuring jillIbean soup quick layout

hi there again. just popping in really quickly to let you see another project i have created using the jilly bean soup papers.

i loved the mix of using paper, the tsukineko red versa fine ink included in our kits along with a crafters workshop stencil and of course my black archival ink pad.
i love how it came together... not necessarily a 'valentine' type page but a true story. i do love this kid 365 days a year

DT Project #1 by Diana - blocks of love featuring JilliBean Soup!

hi everyone. here i am sharing with you my creation using JilliBean Soup Heart Healthy Red Bean Soup collection
i started my project off with a 2x4 which i cut down to size, sanded the edges and then painted it black.
next it was just a matter of layering on this lovely paper and adding bits and bobs along the way. i am not a neat kind of scrapbooker or mixed media artist or well okay neat anything when it comes to art so i just had to add a bit of distress to my papers along with a bit of black edging using archival ink.

for those papers that were white based, and i wanted to use them, i just added a bit of frayed burlap distress ink to them to add the kraft touch

here is my project. hope you like it!

 a bit of a close up to show you that they can be angled (not attached to each other!)

i love that i can rearrange them depending on where i want to stack them!

i will be back later on this week to show you a couple other things i did with this paper and stamps!!

DT Project No 2 by Lucy Edmondson - Featuring Jilly Bean Soup - Heart Healthy Box

I made this heart shaped chocolate box for Valentine's Day featuring the Jilly Bean Heart Healthy Red Bean Soup Collection. I painted a papier mache box with Fresco Finish paints in a mixture of London Bus and Brown Shed and covered the top with the Love paper. I edged it with a red pleated ribbon from my stash and some of the paper cut with a scalloped punch.

I cut the flowers using the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die and a piece of hessian to go with the natural look of the paper range. I covered the hessian with watered down PVA first and let it dry so that it didn't fray. I made up the flowers and then edged them with some of the Wow White Embossing Enamel to define the edges and popped a red heart from my stash in the middle and added green fabric leaves. I added a white doily, and a couple of the white heart pins from the kit we were sent which you can see peeking out at the back.

The shrink plastic plaque which reads, 'I love you 365 days of the year' is made in the same way as the one in Monday's post here, and is made with the co-ordinating stamps set and the Versafine Satin Red ink pad.
