Artist Trading Coins

Artist Trading Coins seem to be the new craze. I came across this idea on a few videos I watched on You tube.  These little coins were perfect to use up some of my small Tim Holtz Paper dolls.

To see how I created the background and the production of these Artist Trading Coins, you can check out the video below.

The background technique is very easy to create. I was able to add several layers of metallic acrylic paint and also created some texture using embossing folders, in a non traditional way. 

These coins not only can be used for trading, they can be great additions to your cards, journals and more.

Non Traditional Wedding card

Hi crafty friends. I am here today to share with you a wedding card I created for the just cards video hop. Now this is probably not the type of wedding card you are use to, but I wanted to give you some ideas for an outside of the box, not traditional wedding card. 

To see how I created the card, you can click on the video below. 

I am using two sets of stamps for this card. The first one is used for my background and is from PaperArtsy and is designed by Seth Apter. The second one is the silhouette bride and it is from I Brake for stamps. 

This card is part of a video hop, so if you want more inspiration, you will find the links to the other videos over on my you tube channel.

Lucky is a state of mind

Hello and happy Monday! I am here sharing this fun birthday card that I have had in my mind for a while. I found these little poker chip stickers at a craft sale and they have been sitting in my stash waiting for the perfect card.

When I saw this playing cards background from I Brake for Stamps, I knew exactly what I would do. While the stamp is one piece, it is easy stamped and cut to make four playing cards.  I added distress oxide ink to make the cards look old and added this funny image from half sheet 046.

It is a very simple design, but so fun and will make a perfect birthday card. Be sure to check out this section and don't forget if you use my coupon code SAVE10MONICA, you will get 10% off.

Let's go Fishin!

Hello crafty friends. A few weeks ago i brought out my alcohol inks and was playing around with them. Now when you bring out those, typically you are going to want to make several backgrounds. They are a bit messy, so you may as well get the most out of them.

This background is one of the left overs and has been sitting on my desk for a bit.  I thought it kind of looked like a murky pond, so it was time to get out the fishes!

The stamp set i am using is a fun one from I Brake for Stamps. it is called Luncheon meat.

This stamp set works great stamped over alcohol inks, but is also fun to color. I also used some clear nuvo drops for the water droplets which made a nice addition. 

They layout was fairly simple. I used one of my nesting die cuts to cut around the image then matted it onto two pieces of coordinating cardstock. 

This stamp is a great summer stamp and would also make a fun Father's Day Card. Be sure to check out this section and don't forget if you use my coupon code SAVE10MONICA, you will get 10% off.
