<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, creative friends! <a href="http://muddypawsinkyfingers.blogspot.com/2013/12/may-your-holidays-be-filled-with.html">Julie</a> here today.

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I started out cutting out a bunch of poinsettia-like looking flowers with my Big Shot, using watercolor paper. Here's what they looked like:</span></span></div>

</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of them had a stamp set to match, so I stamped them before I die cut them. It's easier to line everything up that way. Then, I started painting them, using colors that would make them look like a poinsettia. Here's what they looked like painted:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inch card was made for the friend who gave me those two beautiful stick pins. She made me a whole bunch of beautiful beaded stick pins just like these two. I thought the least I could do was return the favor with a card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When assembling this card, I used the rule of threes, using 3 poinsettias clusters, 3 leaves, and even 3 red rhinestones. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I created the background for my card using <a href="http://www.creativeinspirationspaint.com/creative-inspirations-paint.php">Garnet, Evergreen and Winter Frost</a> paints! I first die cut my poinsettia in various sizes with copy paper and laid them onto my white cardstock. I used low-tack tape to secure them so that they wouldn't move as I painted the background. With a paintbrush, I added Winter Frost first, then dabbed lightly with Garnet and Evergreen until I was pleased with the results. Once the paint was dry, I removed the copy paper poinsettias, and stamped with a poinsettia stamp using red ink in the stenciled areas.</div>

<br />
I realize that the Christmas Countdown has already started, but if you haven't started your Countdown to the big day, or if you are looking for ideas for next year, today I'd like to show you my version of a Christmas Advent, CIP Style.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPH3Zv6zZie6gafykAqahABrZtS8cGUu4qkh1GixOw0PANML-4IjvZ4Qx6qaKtyXk0Tax3s97RFIPLsOKl-mFPpM71sMp099BgWrQ0WxvmQuOzdyfZ_uSGLH6OvdVHW6AB0_jRnrMC24o/s1600/IMG_7415a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPH3Zv6zZie6gafykAqahABrZtS8cGUu4qkh1GixOw0PANML-4IjvZ4Qx6qaKtyXk0Tax3s97RFIPLsOKl-mFPpM71sMp099BgWrQ0WxvmQuOzdyfZ_uSGLH6OvdVHW6AB0_jRnrMC24o/s400/IMG_7415a.jpg" width="350" /></a></div>
<br />
I wanted to create an easy (and quick) way to celebrate that yearly Christmas Countdown.<br />
<br />
To start, you will need 25 white coin envelopes (available at your local office supply store), your favorite stamp, CIP Embossing Powder (in green and red), Embossing Ink, CIP Paint (in green and red), countdown numbers (I used number circle stickers from Pretty Little Studio), festive holiday paper and your favorite scalloped punch, several Christmas die-cuts (I used several from Pretty Little Studio), and an advent frame. (mine is a Silhouette frame from several years ago).<br />
<br />
Step One: Heat Emboss coin envelopes with stamp and CIP Embossing Powder.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrlAaCtcA-lBgWVCIOcg1-M8MXtjcQnabwIiHCDLpORY3tREXMtwWcdJtmYd9-1GTFjzm23ST9UOQ7sNWIkNTs3h2WHZ0Jhu4z-Ah-Hp8nLtuUNRg7ZkvwtCIXrvITiUm6ClELj0ntWec/s1600/IMG_7425.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrlAaCtcA-lBgWVCIOcg1-M8MXtjcQnabwIiHCDLpORY3tREXMtwWcdJtmYd9-1GTFjzm23ST9UOQ7sNWIkNTs3h2WHZ0Jhu4z-Ah-Hp8nLtuUNRg7ZkvwtCIXrvITiUm6ClELj0ntWec/s400/IMG_7425.JPG" width="400" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step Two: Using water downed CIP paint, apply a 'wash of color' to each envelope.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWbY5aHN9aq_oTSagHG3d7MnlBJ_Nmb319BhtOmP1lWoq0H7zrh2ok-e9JmvDeK-RmI1ME5FfcI_R0fO1jOZt3TTMeW2E1H55m7fr5JEUE-envsfOoz3Wi5-D2zjzwzuwLM2IYwYWe25w/s1600/IMG_7427.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWbY5aHN9aq_oTSagHG3d7MnlBJ_Nmb319BhtOmP1lWoq0H7zrh2ok-e9JmvDeK-RmI1ME5FfcI_R0fO1jOZt3TTMeW2E1H55m7fr5JEUE-envsfOoz3Wi5-D2zjzwzuwLM2IYwYWe25w/s400/IMG_7427.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
Step Three: Cut envelope in 1/2 and punch open edge with fancy scallop punch.<br />
Staple Countdown number to outside of envelope.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDW0zmAxbaLjASeCy0NpQpnHz6oPiHyehh2dYglO3TLlfuj2KnyfkSoPlhjRe1FyX5xxNEpBIrQeTdShr4FO7v-NBNSVCEvBW6qp2N6CYW_8B_YcKd8RZMdP6dC7RKxFmlHv_wzpslxDY/s1600/IMG_7423.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDW0zmAxbaLjASeCy0NpQpnHz6oPiHyehh2dYglO3TLlfuj2KnyfkSoPlhjRe1FyX5xxNEpBIrQeTdShr4FO7v-NBNSVCEvBW6qp2N6CYW_8B_YcKd8RZMdP6dC7RKxFmlHv_wzpslxDY/s400/IMG_7423.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Step Four: Add Countdown 'present' to each envelope. I typed up small sentiments and added to each envelope.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3QFZyabe20LjUtAE1GircLHQtQCPwm5AqMPFyD_LBBEGnMej2KaIf-MIRp45KQxtcM83KmWKirxdPR_6aNMkAmpkgw0kbh2KGpWiOYzqzIFivN-YUoss56b7JQz5Z8aExIlz4TfxSQx0/s1600/IMG_7430.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3QFZyabe20LjUtAE1GircLHQtQCPwm5AqMPFyD_LBBEGnMej2KaIf-MIRp45KQxtcM83KmWKirxdPR_6aNMkAmpkgw0kbh2KGpWiOYzqzIFivN-YUoss56b7JQz5Z8aExIlz4TfxSQx0/s400/IMG_7430.JPG" width="400" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step Five: Hang daily envelopes and Christmas die-cuts on Advent Calendar. Enjoy!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The great thing about creating this Advent Calender, is that the envelopes can be re-used next year, or if you are a scrapper, you can use them in your December Daily projects. :)</div>

I used my Gelli Plate with some of my favorite stencils along with <a href="http://www.creativeinspirationspaint.com/creative-inspirations-paint.php">Emerald</a>, <a href="http://www.creativeinspirationspaint.com/creative-inspirations-paint.php">Evergreen,</a> <a href="http://www.creativeinspirationspaint.com/creative-inspirations-paint.php">Garnet</a> and <a href="http://www.creativeinspirationspaint.com/creative-inspirations-paint.php">Winter Frost</a> CI Paints to create a background. After the background was created I traced my trees using a Dyan Reavely stencil and black marker. I completely covered everything but the trees with black soot Distress Paint. </div>

The Dyan stencil has these cute lights along the edge for a border on both the small AND large stencil, so I used the smaller stencil on the corners with some modeling paste. After the modeling paste dried I colored the lights in Garnet, Evergreen and some Gold CI Paints. They really look like shimmery holiday lights! </div>

I have to say, this page is one of my favorites. I don't know if you can see, but the CI Paints behind the Distress Paint, still show up! I love the texture that it gives! You can't create that on your own... it's a natural texture created by the two mediums because of their chemistry. You can still see some of the shimmer of the paints behind the Distress Paint, and even the color in some places. :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you get a chance, play around with the paints and other mediums, especially layering! It's a lot of fun! I do a lot of layering in my art journal, which is how I discovered this look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you have enjoyed my holiday journal page and play with your own paints!! Have fun and get messy!! </div>

Hi Everyone and Happy Friday!!!<br />
Here is my Design Team project this week and I am definitely counting the days to Christmas.<br />
I will tell you this is not at all what I had originally intended on doing. I just went in a completely different direction LOL.<br />
<br />
I
started by creating a background print on my Gelli Plate using Garnet
and Spring Green. I then used an old cardboard tube to create circles
and painted over them with the Garnet and Spring Green. Got out my white
signo pen and started doodling and turned the circles into ornaments. I
framed the print with the black and white checkerboard Duct Tape.<br />
Here's
a picture of the background before adding the tree, and some close up
shots showing dimension and the Deliquesce Black Embossing powder.<br />

I
cut the Christmas tree by hand then covered it in the Resplendence
Emerald Glitter, which by the way is so sparklie, I love it!!!! then I embellished it
with the clear Jeweled Inspirations. <br />
<br />
I printed the
numbers on cardstock. The numbers are from the Merry and Bright kit by
Nancy Baumiller at Deviantscrap.com. I painted another piece of
cardstock with the CI Sunshine paint then glued the numbers on and recut
them. I adhered them to the border with pop dots. The green background
paper is a piece of scrapbook paper I had. I inked the edges with a dark
green ink pad.<br />
<br />
I inked up the chipboard letters then
covered them in the CI Deliquesce Black embossing powder and they came out awesome. This
is the best embossing powder I have ever used. I attached a a red ribbon
at the top to hang it. <br />
<br />
Here's the final piece. It's crazy and colorful and happy like Christmas!!!!<br />

For the Tag I painted the chipboard tree using Evergreen and Chocolate for the trunk.<br />
I then added a paper star and used Winter Frost CI paint.<br />
For the snowman embellishment I used the Resinesence resin adding a small die cut.<br />
Just a quick and simple tag with lots of shimmer!<br />
The close of of the amazing CIP colors are below! <br />

Debbie here today to share a card I made with some <a href="http://www.creativeinspirationspaint.com/">Creative Inspirations.</a> Every year I tell myself that I will be ready for Christmas..make my own cards and how nice it would be for everyone to receive a handmade card. Well here we are again and I'm not ready, but I did make this one!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8-QrLPbzoAI/Upz2jaObOeI/AAAAAAAAJg4/AlNlyA2hIUI/s1600/IMG_8732.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8-QrLPbzoAI/Upz2jaObOeI/AAAAAAAAJg4/AlNlyA2hIUI/s640/IMG_8732.jpg" width="418" /></a></div>
Just a few quick instructions on how I did this card. <br />
1. Embossed with a Tim Holtz folder<br />
2. I painted in the leaves with Burgandy<br />
3 I finger rubbed the high points on the embossing with Antique Gold.<br />
4. I painted the background with Antique Silver.<br />
5 Added the flowers to the top of painted flowers. <br />
<br />
Here are the Creative Inspirations colors I used to create this card.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Tuesday, CIP friends. Julie posting today from <a href="http://muddypawsinkyfingers.blogspot.com/2013/12/let-it-snow-for-creative-inspirations.html">Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers.</a></span> <span style="font-size: large;">I have a small home décor piece to share with you.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">It started as a piece of 2x4 wood. I had a friend cut a bunch of 2x4 scraps for me. This particular piece of wood measures 2x4x4. With a little paint, a couple stamps, and some fibers, this is what you can make:</span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used acrylic paint on the base, mixing turquoise with a little black so it wasn't quite so stark. Then, I stamped the snowman and sentiment onto the wood. I painted the snowman with <a href="http://www.creativeinspirationspaint.com/">Creative Inspiration Paint</a>, using Winter Frost (one of the sale colors for December), Garnet (on sale in December at 33% off), Royal Purple and Orange. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wrapped some white fibers around the top of the wood, removed the legs of a snowflake brad, attached it to the fibers with a glue dot, and my home décor project is done!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone, Julie here today from <a href="http://muddypawsinkyfingers.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-barrow-of-blessings-for-creative.html">Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers</a> hoping you had a great Thanksgiving yesterday (American friends). We have much to be thankful for, don't we?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We spent yesterday noon having Thanksgiving dinner with my father at the assisted living facility where he lives. My father was a carpenter by trade and spent many hours taking care of his yard when he wasn't working. His yard became even more important to him after he retired. I wanted to make him a little something to have on the table that he could share with his table mates and friends. With that in mind, I found what I thought would be the perfect Thanksgiving table décor:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I had this idea for a wheelbarrow, and looked around until I found what I wanted. This is a wheelbarrow treat box.

<span style="font-size: large;"> The leaves started out white. I painted the die cut leaves with <a href="http://www.creativeinspirationspaint.com/">Creative Inspirations Paint</a> to give them those beautiful Fall colors and shine. I used a variety of different <a href="http://www.creativeinspirationspaint.com/">Creative Inspirations Paints</a> on the leaves -- Burnt Clay (on sale), Autumn Wheat, Sunshine, and Pumpkin (on sale).</span></div>

Tina here today with a project that will get you in the holiday spirit!<br />
<br />
I can't believe Christmas is only a month away. It seems like Summer was just yesterday!<br />
<br />
Tags are one of my favorite, 'no-brainer', easy projects. I could spend all day creating one tag after another. They are so fun and so easy, they are a great way to try new product or experiment with new techniques.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I started my tags with an ombre painted effect, using a favorite star stencil. Starting with my darkest color on the top of each tag, I used 4 greenish hue's to complete my background.<br />
{Hint: I used a cosmetic sponge to apply the paint to the tag. Lots of control and you can cut the end off when you are done with one color to use on the next.}<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I also love to color my embellishments to match the colors of my project. I have colored my ribbon with stains and inks in the past, but wanted to see if it would work with CI paints. It did! Beautifully!<br />
<br />
I sprayed my ribbon with water, then dipped my fingertips into the lightest color first. I randomly rubbed the ribbon with this color, then repeated with 2 additional colors. Once I was happy with the color, I crinkled the ribbon into a ball and dried with my heat gun. Once it was dry, the beautiful shimmer from the paint looked gorgeous on my new custom-made ribbon. I will <span style="color: #0000ee;">definitely</span> be trying this technique again!<br />

Hi friends! I don't know about you, but this week is going to be super busy for my family! Since Thanksgiving is on Thursday, we will be doing some traveling the day before to go see my fiance's family in Ohio. I always look forward to these trips! Since this week is going to be busy, I was able to get some projects done this weekend, and today's project is one of them. I am so pleased with the way this turned out. I can't wait to share it with my LSS, where it will be displayed. :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to go grungy for this canvas, with lots of textures, including fabric, metal, pastes and of course, <a href="http://www.creativeinspirationspaint.com/">Creative Inspirations Paint</a> on this... </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The canvas was covered with Tim Holtz Eclectic Elements Fabric. I used some <a href="http://www.creativeinspirationspaint.com/">CI Paints</a> in <a href="http://www.creativeinspirationspaint.com/">Antique Gold and Antique Copper</a> on the sides and front. Using a stencil and some Viva Decor Ferro in Graphite, I added the circles to the corners and sides. My butterfly is a page from the Genuinely Jane Studios Butterfly Album that I used more Graphite Ferro on using a Brick Stencil. I painted the empty spaces in the butterfly and it's sides using <a href="http://www.creativeinspirationspaint.com/">Creative Inspirations Onyx Paint.</a> I added <a href="http://www.creativeinspirationspaint.com/">Antique Silver</a> to each brick and dry brushed more Onyx back over the bricks for an aged look. </div>

I've been completely in love with the Patina look, and using some <a href="http://www.creativeinspirationspaint.com/">Sea Foam </a>over the Antique Gold, I was able to create a slight faux patina look. It isn't perfect, but it looks fine for what I was going for. You can see it better in the photo below:</div>

To add to the grunge look, I threw on some gears and the key hole to the butterfly. I brushed Onyx over them as well. </div>

With Christmas around the corner I thought I would create a card for the Holiday.<br />
I tore three pieces of Rives Kraft card stock and embossed the edges with Creative Inspirations deliquesce white. I love the effect of the torn paper, but adding the embossing powder gives it and extra element of dimension. The tree is formed using the resinesence and copper and green sparkle embossing powder in a silicone mold. Here is a close up so you can see the detail<br />

Tis the season for glitz and glam!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello my wonderful friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are you ready to get sparkly? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've noticed in the stores a fun thing... glitter tape. It's just what it sounds like... a roll of tape that is glitterized. Well, that got my brain to thinking...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's fun and all, but...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You guessed it, I wanted more control! I wanted it to match MY projects, MY colors, MY patterns, and MY style! I didn't want to have to match my work to what the STORE decided to carry! UGG!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, when has that really stopped me before? It just forces me to be a little more creative. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, here is a fun way to make YOUR OWN glitter tape. (well, more like glitter ribbon...)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Step 1:</b> Stamp a design onto tissue paper.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXgM2Jf0H8v4k4ivaHdyp29K5JnlWm3X9ACcBSVZ-aM_tL3FvwpwfJrCDzR0Z5HGzIGnzZkjnjUuzX06jZL-uyzTiTlgVwD0WdNqRZizUBHgdIkvg1vQasJHDq-__XRbyqPzQFe_ln6vw/s1600/DSC_1427.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXgM2Jf0H8v4k4ivaHdyp29K5JnlWm3X9ACcBSVZ-aM_tL3FvwpwfJrCDzR0Z5HGzIGnzZkjnjUuzX06jZL-uyzTiTlgVwD0WdNqRZizUBHgdIkvg1vQasJHDq-__XRbyqPzQFe_ln6vw/s320/DSC_1427.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Step 2:</b> Cover with a strong double sided adhesive, and trim off extra tissue... I like to use a double sided adhesive that comes in a sheet so I can cut it to the size and shape I want. I'm using a Silhouette Double Sided Adhesive sheet here.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijFzKTNTlUSg6OaOcVmrfyz3i7s9vlR3EeqfLUYoQwnCK-Fg7N5f0IypPHkyHuKI0TXu6CqXXTT3szlmYH_NZSWwAshxwV7ijJIWjcCyBG5L3lQr2kl016OGdLACyRClsf6Aew_KlVfSE/s1600/DSC_1429.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijFzKTNTlUSg6OaOcVmrfyz3i7s9vlR3EeqfLUYoQwnCK-Fg7N5f0IypPHkyHuKI0TXu6CqXXTT3szlmYH_NZSWwAshxwV7ijJIWjcCyBG5L3lQr2kl016OGdLACyRClsf6Aew_KlVfSE/s320/DSC_1429.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Step 3:</b> Peel off the back of the double sided adhesive and cover in Creative Inspirations Angel Dust Resplendence. Press the glitter onto the adhesive and brush off the extra to return to the jar.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinxazBOFSKyxH_uw49CnDHsHq0MaI3dvx6MX48lnbG88JLTqe0Cb1QHRPVfJUEJb9ROeWSYa2GvtAQP10IYw3H-S3Ne4-ergarun_HNCFXQWfn96jEUTO2qOX7eIfMF_0jg32cobZtDrE/s1600/DSC_1434.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinxazBOFSKyxH_uw49CnDHsHq0MaI3dvx6MX48lnbG88JLTqe0Cb1QHRPVfJUEJb9ROeWSYa2GvtAQP10IYw3H-S3Ne4-ergarun_HNCFXQWfn96jEUTO2qOX7eIfMF_0jg32cobZtDrE/s320/DSC_1434.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The fun thing about this technique, is not only is it totally customizable, but it is also semi-transparent, and you can tint it by rubbing on a little distress ink to the tissue paper side of the tape. Of course you can make plain glitter tape by simply covering one side of the double side adhesive with any color Resplendence glitter, then using the back side to adhere it to your project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The glittered tissue tape will have to be attached with an adhesive like a glue runner or another piece of double sided adhesive... or, you can do what I did here..,</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because the back is not sticky, and it is stabilized by the tape, it can be tied in a bow. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not your average glitter tape, huh!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello everyone. Monica here with my project
for this week. I wanted to make a banner to hang on the mirror over my fireplace and I wanted it to be
shabby to go with my decor.<br />
<br />
I started with burlap and
heavy card stock. After cutting the burlap base, I cut the card stock
smaller than the burlap, then crumpled it in my hand. I painted two
coats of Creative Inspirations Tan for the base. After it dried I used
Tim Holtz vintage photo with the blending tool over the high spots on
the wrinkled paper, then some soot to bring out more depth. I then used a
paper punch to achieve the lace look edging and used my fingers to
cover that with white Gesso, then highlites of Creative Inspirations
Ivory.<br />
<br />
I sewed the paper to the burlap, this was a challenge. Burlap is not easy to sew on but I was determined.<br />
<br />
I
then stamped the circular lace onto cardstock with Tim Holtz vintage
photo, then cut out the edges and center and sewed it to the burlap and
paper banner piece.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The
blue in the middle lace stamp is painted with Creative Inspirations
Turquoise, which I then stamped over with white gesso to bring out the
detail. Lightly rubbed some vintage photo over that to give it a more vintage look. The typewriter key
letters are just printed from online.<br />

I dry brushed the flower trim with the Tim Holtz Vintage Photo then brushed over that with the Creative Inspirations Tan...<br />

<br />
Happy Thursday CIP Fans!<br />
We are one week away in the US in celebrating the Thanksgiving Holiday!<br />
I created a vintage Thankful card to celebrate the upcoming Holidays.<br />
For the background I used a vintage Bingo card I found in a antique store.<br />
I added a crackling medium and then used the Antique Gold from CIP for color!<br />
For the berries I used Antique Copper and for a little more color on the<br />
leaves I used Evergreen.<br />
The colors on the burlap flowers I used Raw Sienna, Rustic Red and Burgundy!<br />
A close up here below where you can see all the amazing shimmer!!<br />
