Chalk N Stock DT inspiration...

Hey if your here if the Hot Chocolate blog hop...

Please click here... 

oh and thanks for stopping by...

Now on to my inspiring chalk n stock card...

Shop until you Drop

This card was kind of fun to put together...

I used the digi stamp from Bugaboo...

colored with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers

and added star dust chalk to the white areas of her dress and hat...

and used sunshine color chalk to color in her hair...

I love how chalks can give such a nice color to your image without

making it 'too' much color...I highlighted the hair with an alcohol marker...

too cute huh...

oh yeah I used the marker tool by Amy Chomas with my Cameo for the 

"Show until you Drop" sentiment...

Well go Shop until you Drop...only a few more days of shopping for 

Christmas...

Remember  Chalk N Stock will be running this months

challenge for the WHOLE month of December...so you have lots of time to get your 

chalk projects link'd up...

until next time...

Happy Chalk'n

GET WELL ~ in 'Chalk' Style

Today I have a get well card to share

with you all...

I created it for the Chalk N Stock Challenge Blog

This month we are being sponsored by:

we got some cute little digi files to work with...sunflowers...oh I just love them...

so I put these cute little digi files on the virtual mat in the Cameo program...

Designer Edition of Silhouette America

I traced the images and I also made them to size on the virtual mat...

I printed the images then colored them with the Spectrum Noir alcohol markers

then used my Cameo to cut the images.

also used the Amy Chomas marker holder to 'draw' the titles...

so... Print and cut can be that easy...

after I had it all colored and cut out...

I took it to my 'misting' station...

a box with some paper towels in it...lol...

sprayed the finished images with water and Stardust chalk...

heat set to dry with the heat gun...

then added some twine...there you have my secret now....

Ok so its not just my secret but I wanted you to know how I make my cards...

be sure to be careful when spraying the water and chalk mix not to get

too much water...maybe mix with 70% Alcohol (or higher) and chalk ...

that way the makers/coloring wont run as bad...just an idea...I will have to try it when I need to make my next batch of spray...

Get Well

I have another card to share with you today...

I named it

 Home Sweet Home

I used heat embossing for the 'farm' scene

then I chalked over the image to get the look I wanted

for the 'Home Sweet Home'

I used my Amy Chomas marker holder in my Cameo

the Stars embossing folder by Cuttlebug 

Card stock used was some AC Card stock and from the stash

I used some lace from the stash

and a few charms to top it off...

Oh how I just love how this card turned out...

so country,

so home feeling

what a great house warming card this would make.

I have entered this in the following challenges:

Happy Day

MyGrafico Monday ~ For Dad

It's tool time !!

The Crafty Clip

has this great Vector Clip Art at MyGrafico Arts and Crafts Store

Check out that great online store...

Each week we have a

Design Team Project to inspire you

this week is a Challenge Week

All about DAD

I used my Cameo's print and cut abilities

and cut each of the elements with the Cameo after printing them on my own printer,

 in case your not familiar with that technique.

It was the selling point for me to 'justify' a new electronic cutter ... hee hee it worked

so with this I used my adjustable marker holder by Amy Chomas with my Cameo
to create the peg board

card stock from the stash
brown zig marker w/marker holder
and the Crafty Clip vector images
I even added one of the cut elements on the envy to match the card...

Easy Peasy !!!

now it's your turn to try your hand at the
all about dad's challenge

Happy Monday !!!
Happy Craft'n !!!

MyGrafico Monday, Strawberry Jam...

Good Monday =  MyGrafico feature file

Today I have for you a MyGrafico project...

I took a few weeks off to realize that I really do enjoy

being on the design team for MyGrafico...

Now I am back on track, and loving it!

This is the kit we used this week...

Find the File here

Strawberry Jam Anyone ?

So I used my Cameo to draw the Jar from the kit

using Amy Chomas Creations adjustable marker tool

I then used the Cameo to print and cut the strawberries

(file from the Internet somewhere, thank you to who created it)

after cutting the strawberries out I wanted them to shine

so I used Clear Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel 

by putting Glycerin on the strawberry, then the enamel, then heat it with a heat gun

yeah Glycerin and a q-tip, works great instead of using

Versa Mark, I feel that I got a better coverage of enamel using the Glycerin

Glycerin can be found in the pharmacy, its a Skin Protectant

but works wonders for embossing

That's my tip of the day ... lol

This card would be so easy to turn into a gift recipe card for 

your homemade strawberry jam recipe... 

if you make strawberry jam ... heehee

Well I hope you enjoyed my design team project for 

MyGrafico digital arts and crafts store

Remember to stop by the 

MyGrafico Challenge blog

the design team always comes up with such 

great projects and ideas on how to use these files.

Have a great week...
