Hello everyone! I just came back from Lima, Peru where I was teaching mixed media-scrapbooking classes invited by Vidalina Flores Alarcon from the store Lapiz de Papel . The last day Sunday, I had a steampunk album class using the Imagine collection by Graphic 45 and the Creative Embellishments chipboards, and stencil. I share with you the project and also a few photos of the event. This is the Regular Book Box by G45 that comes with a tag album. I covered all the exterior and interior of the box with papers from the Imagine collection by Graphic 45.   I gave textures on the cover and spine of the box using the  Crackled Brick Stencil  by Creative Embellishments with modeling paste by Prima Marketing. I gave a rusty effect and added dimension  to all the chipboards with the Finnabair Rust pastes. I used the  Gear 1 1/2″ set and the  Mini Gears 3/4″ (set of 12) . Once you open the box you find the mini tag album that I worked u...

Hello scrapper friends! I made a boy page to share with you today, yes you read well , lol! It's a challenge for me to create boy pages because my style is romantic if I can call it in that way but I did it. I made this page with this precious model that is Nicole's grandson (the owner of Creative Embellishments). Let's take a look... I started creating textures with the Falling Stars Stencil and modeling paste over the paper from the Forget Me Not collection by Lemoncraft. While the texture were drying, I worked with the chipboards and I applied gesso to all of them, then I embossed all the pieces with pearl embossing powder. I cut the Butterfly flourish by half and adhered to the bottom corner . I also adhered from the Baby Word Set my title..Baby Boy. To highlight this beautiful picture I placed it over the Easter frame.  I adhered the baby boots from the Baby Set. I added more textures with art stones, glass beads and pearls . Other supplies ...

Hi everyone!! I have a canvas with the video tutorial to share with you today. I'm using Creative Embellishments product, let's take a look...  I started giving a coat of gesso to all the canvas, then I added textures with the Crackled Brick Stencil and modeling paste. I also gave a coat of gesso to all the chipboards, like the Doily Frame and the Layered Wings. I applied gesso with a sponge to the Layered Wings to create textures, once it’s dried,  painted it with distress paint and distress oxides ink. I cut out the cute fairy from a Stamperia paper. I adhere some gears from the 12 set- Gear 1 1/2   and the Beautiful word from the Gorgeous Small Border Word Set . To give more textures on the canvas, adhered with gel medium cheesecloth, lace, art stones, buttons, crystal pebbles. You can see from this angle all the dimension and textures.

Hello!! I have been working on altered projects lately and I share one with you today.  I made this altered box using the fantastic Creative Embellishments products. I took a round wooden box that I bought at my local craft store and covered it with The Peony Avenue paper by Studio 75.  I  cut and adhered the Bubble Panel to the lid of the box and the Flourish . Once the Bubble Panel was adhered to the top of the box, I glued the flowers and pearls then  I gave a coat of white gesso to the chipboard and flowers. I painted the chipboard with Color Blooms, metallic acrylic paint  in coral, pink, and gold colors.  I embossed one of the Butterflies in gold and pink embossing powders.  Then I added more textures with art stones , pearls and glass beads. I stamped the bottom of the box with the Distressed Crackle Stamp and a permanent ink. Other supplies I used: Prima Marketing: Color Bloom Peony Meta...

Hello there! Here's my take of the June sketch challenge by Blue Fern Studios . I'm using the new Attic Charm collection that has pretty colors perfect for Summer although I made a romantic page with it. This lovely couple recently married, he is my friend Edna' son and I made this page for her album.  The paper are the Attic Charm- Curio and the Calling cards papers, the flowers are from the same collection. The sketch was designed by Michele Singh. I frame the photo with the Shrine Frame chipboard that I embossed with Antique Gold embossing powder.  I also embossed the title with the antique gold embossing powder  that is the "I Love You More" chipboard. Attic Charm Daisies and the little flower is the Courtship Blooms. I added pieces of the Crackle Bits chipboard around the flowers and the card.
