Holiday Games

Christmas in October? Yes, I did it. I figure, if people do Christmas in July, I can get away with some Christmas stuff in October, right? I really am excited to share my projects with you today because they use some of my favorite colors of Creative Inspirations Paints. 

I made these for a class that I will be teaching in November, which is the real reason I did the Christmas thing. But the colors are some of my favorites. :) 

The layout uses some Rustic Red, Garnet and Green Olive on it. If you look closely, you can see that the background is tissue paper highlighted with some of the Rustic Red on the creases and some Garnet splashed over the top. I used the Green Olive with a Crafters Workshop stencil to add more texture and shimmer. 

The tag was super easy to make. I used my all time favorite Kassi Tutorial of Marbling with the CI Paints to make this. I chose Winter Frost and Silver Frost for my two CI Paint colors since they wouldn't be so prominent. I've found that although you can do the marbling technique with any of the CI Paints, the lighter colors such as Winter Frost, Autumn Wheat, Silver Frost, Ice Blue, Ivory, Gold, Pink Highlights and Beige are my favorites to work with when marbling. If you haven't stopped by and tried out the tutorials that Kassi shares, you need to check out the Tutorial Section. There are so many things to do with these paints! I'm constantly discovering new things! 

As always, the colors used today: 

Have a wonderful day!! See you soon! 

Happy Holidays this Friday!

Hi there CI Paint lovers! I hope you are all doing well on this Friday. Emily here with a holiday card I created using the gorgeous CI Paints. UPDATE: I have edited the photos since this was originally posted. I woke up this morning and took new photos so you could enjoy the way this card REALLY looks!!

Today's card was created using the Gingerbread Land collection by Nikki Sivils along with Chocolate, Mint, Spring Green and Rose Quartz paints in addition to Deliquesce Fine White Embossing Powder.  

 

The close ups below show the paints and powder much better than the original. The only part of the card I used the paints on was the gingerbread girl. I decided since she was the focus of the card that I would use them on her. She looks so cute in person.:) 

Below are all of the Creative Inspirations Paint products used in the card today.

 And a reminder, currently you get 10% off of all paint products at Creative Inspirations Paint!! What a great deal to stock up on your paints or for gifts this holiday season! The sale is going on until January 1st!!!

Thank you for stopping by on this Friday! I will see you soon! 

Christmas Eve wishes!

Hello, First I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!  Today I am so pleased to share a card I created using a technique behind my stamped image that Samantha recently shared on the blog.  See her tutorial HERE.

I also used the squish technique that I shared a little while back on the card base,  I LOVE all the shimmer on this card.  All created with Creative Inspirations Paints!  I painted the flower with Winter Frost.

The colors I used are Garnet, Green Olive, Turquoise & Winter Frost.

I really love all of these colors together..So pretty!

Hope you have enjoyed my card inspiration today.  Remember you still have time to join in on this weeks challenge that is inspired by holiday cooking.  I will be back next year to share some more projects.  Till then..Happy Craftin'!
