Mini Misters {card 3}

Phew this is keeping me busy…

mini mister card 3

 

I have used the mister again with Aquacolor Crayons but this time the image is the feature not the background.  I love how this turned out, first time using my new bamboo stamp woo hoo.  I can see so much potential for that stamp.  I chalked the base card as it was white and looked odd but I’m not sure if it’s enough?  The stamped images are one a piece of Natural A5 from the Neutrals Card Pack, one of the mix packs that I always forget to use.  There are a lot of fantastic mixed card packs in the catalogue.  The Peace stamp is from the ATC set.  There’s so many great little words in that set, I love it.  All products Kaszazz of course.

 

Ok off to do some baking, yay!

Mini Misters {day 2}

}Edit:: apologies for the two mister photos so far – I took them outside this morning before going to work and obviously it wasn’t quite light enough, sigh.

Here we are again…

 

mini misters day 2

You may be wondering how I incorporated the mini misters today?  Well if you look closely…closer…closer..see it?  I have mixed up a concoction of water, Vintage Photo (distress ink) refill ink and Gold Perfect Pearls in my mister and sprayed some Vanilla Bazzill with it.  I then used this paper to punch my flowers and stamp the sentiment onto.  Pretty cool huh?  I also used a bit of left over Feather Boa Bling from yesterday for the pink flowers.  I think they look really good together.

Now what will tomorrows creation be?  Don’t forget to check out the other girls in the blog war – see list over right.

Blog Wars – Mini Misters {day 1}

 

Sorry it’s a little late, I had to squeeze in some time between cooking dinner and watching Desperate Housewives last night!  Let me introduce you to this weeks Product of the Week – Ranger Mini Misters.  They are a cute, weeny sized spray bottle that delivers a super fine mist.  Follow me this week as I use it in as many different ways as I can think of!

 

mini misters day 1

This little number is highly influenced by National Training and the two new workshops we did.  I used the mini mister filled with water only to mist my (new) hibiscus stamp before colouring it with Aquacolor Crayons, then misted it again before stamping.  I got around three stamps done each time (misting in between) and it gave me this lovely soft, worn out linen look.  The trick to this was using a fair bit of mist and pressing lightly with the stamp.  I then used Cardinal Ancient Page ink to stamp the image again.  I stamped over the top of this with Gold Colorbox ink to give it some shimmer and create a slight shadow effect which may not be visible in the photo.  The card base is Bazzill Bling in Feather Boa a lovely soft sparkly pink.  Hope you like it!

Chalks last stand {day 5}

TGIF!  Here is the last chalk project::

 

Chalk day 5

This little number was made with our pals Perfect Medium and chalk on black card.  For the little “photo” corners I used a rubber ahem eraser (sounds nicer right?), I also chalked the edges of the base card to soften it and add interest.  It’s those suble treatments that make all the difference don’t you think?  And if you think you are seeing rubber burn – you’re right!  It’s deliberate [of course] as I didn’t want it looking all perfect, it needed to be grunged up a bit.  Also I didn’t have matching ribbon so I used Fluid Chalk ink to tint it mauve.  Hurrah.  And a sparkly cherry on top!

I hope you had fun following me this week in my chalk inspired crafting.  If you’ve been breaking out the chalks leave a link in the comments below so we can check out your creations too.  No blog?  Just email me the photo evidence and I can post it up here for you. 

Make sure to tune in on Monday for a Brand New Product of the Week.  Yippee!

Tonight I have a little workshop running at my house [cheeky cards] and tomorrow is National Training.  all.  day.  long.  Waahoo can you tell I’m happy about this?  Stay tuned as there will be a New Kaszazz Product Release with brand new workshops too.

Can’t wait.

Can’t wait.

Can’t wait.

p.p.s. this is the last post you can leave a comment on to go into the draw for this weeks projects; hop to it!!

Chalks {day 4}

Nice and early today!  So far so good with this blog war business!  Here is another chalk creation for you..

 

Chalk day 4

I used the medium folk heart punch to make a stencil and coloured it with red chalk.  I love how soft and fuzzy the hearts look, they sort of look air brushed.  And there’s a little peek-a-boo on the inside of the card which the lucky winner will see!  The cherish die cut is actually a stamped image punched out with the whale circle punch.  I love it when stamps and punches are made for each other like that, so many variations can be made.

Tomorrow will be the last day of the Chalks, what will next week bring I wonder…?

keepin’ it craftie

Chalks {day 3}

Hi there,

Here is my creation for today…

 

Chalks - day 3

Made with Basic Brights chalk set, rubber stamps, circle whale punch, Perfect Medium and paper from the Gelati range.  I didn’t have matching brads so I painted our gold ones with paint dabber – note to self :: try sanding before painting next time!  It’s something a little fun and colourful for a birthday.  You can’t see them all but there are Ice Stickles on each flower and the candles.

It’s a little late but Mum and I didn’t do any crafting this visit so I had to whip this up once she was headed back home.  I will try to get on top of these posts so they are up nice and early for you – TRY being the operative word ha!

Product of the Week – Chalks! {day 1 & 2}

Hi there folks,

As I mentioned earlier I have joined in with the Kaszazz Consultants Blog War, please check out this post for a full explanation!

This weeks Product of the Week is Chalks.  Kaszazz carries a great range of dry chalk sets of different colour groups including the lovely pearlescents.  I own the Basic Brights set which has proved a popular choice with my customers and I love the unlimited colour combos I can get out of it.  They are so easy to use – it’s childs play, yes really, it is.  The secret is that if you get chalk where you don’t want it you can just erase it, cool huh?  We do sell accessories to use with chalks such as a chalk eraser, applicators, pom poms, and stencils.  You can check them out in our catalogue over here on page 62.

So here is my creation for yesterday and today…

 

Blog Wars - Chalk day 1 & 2

A gorgeous card for Mother’s Day in my Mum’s favorite colour; blue (I stamped the message inside, which I will leave off for the blog candy winner so you can use it for any occasion) and a little birdie notecard.  I’ve used the chalks here with Perfect Medium and un-mounted rubber stamps, all available from Kaszazz of course!  I used punched flowers behind the bird for something different.  Sorry about the setting – could have been prettier right?

If you’d like a chance to win my weeks creations please leave a comment on any of my blog war posts (one entry per person but you may comment each day).

I declare a Blog War!

No wait it’s a good thing I promise!  A few creative Kaszazz consultants came up with the idea of having a blog war:: each week they have a different product (Product Of the Week or POW) sold by Kaszazz and make a project each weekday using it.  It’s a great way to get the creativity flowing and come up with new ways to use our products as well as giving customers some fabulous ideas and inspiration.

Well I said a few but it has grown and grown and there are now several gals “at war”.  You can check them out in my “blog war gals” links over to the right.  You’ll be sure to pick up lots of new ideas for using your fave products.  So stay tuned as I upload my first blog war creation later today.  I’m excited!

To make it even more fun for you my dear reader I will be making two of every project and at the end of each week I will pick a lucky winner to receive the set of five projects [Blog War Candy].  All you need to do to enter is leave a comment on any of the blog war posts – too easy right?  If the project I create is a large off the page or something that won’t live through the mail I will make a substitute just for you!

First Blog War post on it’s way…
