Masculine Checkbook by Elena Olinevich

Hello friends.

I am trying to create not only floral cards and feminine projects, but I really wanted to make something masculine.

This time I decided to make a checkbook, this is such a fun way to cheer your man. So I put a typical male's desire on each page, to have a beer, fish & chips with his friends; to watch movies all day long; to go fishing for a week end and so on. I guess it's a great way to make someone feel more happy.

So I started with embossing the black cardstock. After that I wrapped the cardboard with the embossed cardstock - the wooden background works great.

I fixed everything using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

I colored my background using the pigment powders in blue, gold and brown. I like the shimmer they release on the dark paper, especially a textured one.

Then I added some die cuts and topped them with 3 D Foam Squares. I've also adhered the denim ribbon and put it on a crafty tape.

Using my E-Z Stars Runner. Those starts have a sticky surface, so the pigment powders are hold perfectly, but however I fixed it with the wet brush, so that the color won't go off the surface.

I hope you have liked my idea of treating your man with such a checkbook.

Winter Scene Canvas by Elena Olinevich

Hello crafters. My kids are asking me each day when the winter comes. As for the youngest (he is 3 years old) it means cold and snowy. It's nasty outside with no snow. When I was a child there have been much more snow in winter than nowadays, and the color for winter projects for me are associated with white and blue for my childhood. Now I experiment a lot with a color, but in my memories of those good times it was snowy and blue was the dominant color.

So I decided to create a canvas, I named it Winter Scene - with lots of snow on the background and frosty weather.

So I played only with 3 main colors - white, blue and brown,

though I used many tones of these colors.

I started with creating different textures on my canvas background - I applied crackle paste, sand paste, and gloss gel. After that I added lace and denim trims, covered half of it with gesso and started playing with the blue.

First I misted it, then I added the pigment powders in brown and blue. It was a magic.

You can see the lovely textures and colors here.

Lots of sparkle.

So easy and so cool!

Hope you have liked my canvas, thanks for watching.

Christmas Card & Layout by ~Donna Salazar

Hello my peeps! I've been crazy busy with preparations for CHA so it was nice to be able to take a break and make a layout and card using some of my favorite products from Spellbinders®, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Clearsnap® with "Dear Santa" papers and stickers from my friends at Photoplay™.

The first project I'm sharing is this 8.5"x11" layout with a photo of me and my bestie with my daughter that was taken TEN YEARS AGO!!! My how time has just flown by!!!

In the close up below you can see some matte splatters and some glittery splatters. I pressed my Mix'd Media Inx pad onto a non stick craft sheet then blended with water and used a fan brush to splatter. I then watered down some white acrylic paint and used the same brush to splatter that. While the paint was still wet I sprinkled my Twinkle Dust Glitter in Sugar Shimmer over it and I got 2 different types of splatters. I also added some of my E-Z Stars with the same glitter.

I added a little Girlie Grunge touch with my denim ribbon on the strip as well as a rolled denim ribbon flower.

I made a couple of Bitty Blossoms out of white card stock and then I spritzed one with Holly Berries Smooch Spritz to create the little sparkly deep red rose and then I added some of my Carnation Creations die cuts to the Bitty Blossom.

I had a ton of fun with all the stickers that came in the "Dear Santa" paper pack.

Making the card was SUPER easy!!! I just cut one of the 12x12 papers down to size, distressed the edges, inked them with Mix'd Media Inx CHOX, then added a bit of white paint to the edges. I then splattered the back ground with a little bit of the same paint watered down a bit then sprinkled with Twinkle Dust Glitter while all the paint was still wet.

I added a piece of burlap from my Texture Ribbons pack and a piece of scalloped denim from my Denim Ribbons pack both from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®. I added 3 Bitty Blossoms and adhered a few stickers and this card was done!

In the close up photo below you can see the inked edges with glittery paint edges and splatters really well. The stickers are also from the "Dear Santa" paper line.

Rose Christmas Card by Elena Olinevich

Hello Crafty people.

I am practicing at cardmaking at the moment, as it is Christmas season coming. Anyway, I have noticed that simple cards now hold my creative attention, and I really enjoy making them.

Here is the latest card I made using some of Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products.

I started with absolutely plane white background and only die cut the star in it.

After that I added denim ribbon and tried to create an unusual bow. Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Dodz™XL work perfectly for fixing any fabric. I especially like to create the folds with textile using them.

Then I added the lace and the flower again using E-Z Dodz™

I really tried to keep some simple embellishments.

I only added Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® E-Z stars, but they needed to be colored, especially those on the white background.

Lastly I applied clear gloss gel using a rose stencil and then sprinkled Donna's

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Pigment Powder in Pink on it.

Girlie Grunge Fall Decor by ~Donna Salazar

Hello my peeps! Today I'm sharing photos of a couple of Fall home decor items that I've made in my Girlie Grunge Style.

The first project I'm going to share with you is a wood sign made with products from Jillibean Soup.

I used their "Mix The Media" 8x8 Wood Plank & Ephemera Pack in Cream and their Mini Alphas in Navy. I also used my Denim Ribbon, Texture Ribbons, Lace Ribbons, 3D Foam Swirls with several adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and my Bitty Blossoms die from Spellbinders.

I used cards from Jillibean Soup's Ephemera Pack to create the layered pumpkin and I inked the edges of all the paper elements with my Mix'd Media Inx™ CHOX.

In the photo above I used the Ephemera Pack to make the leaf out of a tag and I cut a stem from one of the cards. I also used my organza ribbon (from my Texture Ribbons pack) to create the bow... When you add a bit of heat from a heat gun to the organza ribbon you can make the ribbon all wonky.

In the photo above I have a close up of my 3D Foam Swirls colored with Gold and Blue Pigment Powder then inked with my Mossy Mix'd Media Inx™ and finished with clear embossing powder over the top. You can also see my Twinkle Dust Glitter peeking out from behind the lace. You can get that effect by using a clear wide double sided adhesive tape on the back of your lace. Adhere the lace, sprinkle glitter over the top and burnish with your finger. Remove the excess and you have peek-a-boo glitter!

The second project I want to share with you is an altered Girlie Grunge craft pumpkin.

I started with a foam craft pumpkin and decoupaged old book pages to it. I dry brushed some acrylic paint over a couple spots and made a glaze with my Pigment Powders to drip down the sides.

I added a piece of card stock to the back of a piece of denim using an Adhesive Sheet from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and die cut the Bitty Blossom and the leaves with my dies. I also die cut several other Bitty Blossoms out of paper, added in some Rose Creations die cuts and made several lace flowers using my Lace Ribbons. I also added a bow using the organza from my Texture Ribbons pack. I used a heat gun to make this bow wonky as well.

I mixed my Brown Pigment Powder with acrylic medium to make the glittery brown paint that I used to paint the leaves and outlined them with a black Sharpie when the paint dried.
