Inspire canvas - Crafter's Companion

Happy Saturday - so glad to be home and catching up on laundry, cleaning my craft studio and spending some time with Tom.  Life is good!!!

I wanted to share another canvas I created for my collage... two down, three or so to go!  I can't wait to get them all finished and hung.  Looking forward to seeing them together.

For this one I used a great set from Crafter's Companion which has a set of stamps and die cuts that match.  It's from the ubber-talented Sheena Davis and this one is called Sheena's Perfect Partners - Sweet William.  I also collaged a bit with the Sheena - A Little Bit Scenic stamp set called Silhouette grasses and the Kimono Paper Moon set.  I colored the main image with Spectrum Aqua Watercolor Markers and used the Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen in crystal clear to highlight things.  I am really happy with the same it turned out.

Here's a list of the colors I used and the Crafter's Companion supply links:

Stamps / Dies - Sheena Perfect Partners Sweet William 
Sheena - A Little Bit Scenic - silhouette grasses
Kimono - Paper Moon

Thinking of You tag - Crafter's Companion

Had a wonderful weekend full of crafting time and family.  Didn't get a thing done in my house, and it looks a little like a hurricane hit it... but let's be honest, it's not going anywhere.

I want to share a quick little make today for Crafter's Companion.  It's a bright and happy tag created to tell a friend I have them in my thoughts.  I love the color combination and had fun creating this little gem.

After running the watercolor paper through the embossing folder, I used my Spectrum Sparkle pens to fill in the depressed wells created by the embossing.  I love that the watercolors all create different colors and mix to make sure no one diamond is the same.

I used a create a card die to cut just the middle sentiment out, adding just the right touch to finish off the card.

The Crafter's Companion supplies are:

Scruffy Little Cat - Chic Embossing Folder, 
Die'sire Create-A-Card Thinking of You die
Spectrum Sparkle pens - Aquamarine, Amethyst, Pink Garnet, Inspired Violet, Blue Topaz, Crystal Clear
Spectrum Aqua watercolor cardstock

You are Amazing - Crafter's Companion

Hello crafty-peeps out in blogland.  I'm back again today to show off this new make for Crafter's Companion... A sweet card for any occasion.

I used an adorable stamp from Crafter's Companion's Angelica & Friends collection called Jessica.  I colored her up with my Spectrum Noir markers (see list of colors below), and then placed her on a framed die cut from Die'Sire called Cameo.  I used the Spectrum Sparkle crystal clear pen to add a touch of sparkle to her wings and to the flowers on the embossed paper, which was embossed using the Sheena Petite Floral embossing folder.  A simple sentiment stamp finishes the card.

I think I'll try this one in a few challenges:

Through the Craft Room Door - anything goes
Love to Scrap - anything goes
Craft Your Passion - anything goes

Hugs,
Jodi

Decorated notebook - Crafter's Companion

A quick post today to show off this adorable decorated notebook.  I created this for Crafter's Companion using several of their stamped images and die cuts.  (See the list below for specifics.)

I grabbed some great paper scraps from My Mind's Eye, and layered the background.  The butterfly is stamped on patterned paper, then fussy cut.  The flower is also stamped on different patterned papers, and then die cut before layering it together.  I added a touch of sparkle to highlight it all.  The top is finished with a bunch of ribbon scraps tied to the metal spiral.

The Crafter's Companion supplies I used are listed and linked below:

Flutterby Stamps
Sheena Perfect Partners Victorian Floral Anemone stamp and die cut
Spectrum Sparkle pens - Moonstone, Crystal clear, Harvest moon, Pink Champagne

Dream Banner - Crafter's Companion

Sharing a make today that uses a whole bunch of stamps from Crafter's Companion as well as Spectrum Noir markers and the Spectrum Sprakle pens... (Complete list and links below).

I found this canvas banner pieces in the clearance bin and thought they would make a pretty wall hanging with a little bit of decoration.  I stamped directly on them using a permanent die, then colored them with my Spectrum Noir pens, and then added a little bling with the Sparkle pens as well.  I strung them on a pretty wired ribbon and used a bit of hot glue to attach them along the ribbon.  I made a pretty bow to finish off the top!  Easy peasy!

Crafter's Companion supplies:

Spectrun Noir markers - CG1, CG2, LV1, LV2, PL1, PL2, PL4, BT2, BT4, CT2, GB5
Flutterby Stamps, Sheena - A Little Bit Scenic French 50's Cafe, A Little Bit Scenic Provence, As Scene on Screen Wouldn't it be Lovely 1

Smell the flowers - Crafter's Companion

Life has really gotten in the way lately - between car problems, volleyball clinics to teach, overtime at work, watching the adorable granddaughter and buy new cars, my crafting time has been limited... and apparently so has my blogging time.  Hoping things settle down a little bit this weekend and that I can actually crack open the door of my craftroom on Sunday!

I wanted to share this make this you today... I realized when I posted the pic that it doesn't show any of the dimension of the card - so you are going to have to picture this for me... the circle is actually cut out and the floral image is behind the window.  The flowers are all three dimensional, with a second layer added on top of the stamped image.  Sorry the pic isn't better.

I completed this card using a stamp called Fusia from from the Art Kure Britain in Bloom collection.  Such a beautiful image.  I colored it with my Spectrum Sparkle markers in Moonstone, Inspired Violet, Amethyst, Pink Garnet, Cosmos, Holly Leaf, and Emerald Green.  The sentiment is from the Moonbeam Meadow - Time Out stamp set.

I would like to enter this into some challenges:

Joy - Crafter's Companion

Good morning from beautiful Colorado!  It's getting close to Christmas and I am finally feeling kinda ready for it.  How about you?

I will be sharing quite a few last minute Christmas card makes this week starting with this adorable one using another fun stamp from Crafter's Companion.  The stamp is from Barkley and is called Christmas Festive Fun.  I stamped him on Spectrum Noir watercolor paper, then used the Spectrum Aqua markers to add some color to the image.  I then put some of the Spectrum Sparkle Crystal Clear ink over the top of the snow scene to give it extra sparkle and shine.  I also added some extra glitter along the bottom.  It turned out very festive and fun.  I love using non-traditional colors for Christmas!

Here's the list of Crafter's Companion products I used:
Spectrum Aqua Markers - burgundy, begonia, wildflower, tan, boulder, charcoal, moss, peacock blue.
Spectrum Sparkles - Crystal clear
Stamp - Barkley - Christmas Festive Fun
Spectrum Noir watercolor paper

I will be adding this to some challenges:
