My Creative Time 32nd Release!
Today is the last day of sneaks before tomorrow's blog hop and release!!
I know you are all super excited for that!!!!!
Today we are showcasing the new sets~
Live Love Laugh & Be Happy, Pretty Butterflies Dragonfly dies, and Social Media dies
For today's project I made a home decor project, something that I will set on my crafty desk because...well the sentiment is just PERFECT! I hope you like it!
For today's project I made a home decor project, something that I will set on my crafty desk because...well the sentiment is just PERFECT! I hope you like it!
Using the sentiment from the Live Love Laugh & Be Happy set, I stamped it onto the center of my chalkboard using some colorbox ink. Before stamping it, I took some chalk and rubbed it onto the chalkboard, wiping it off so it gave the chalkboard a worn look. The ink has that chalkboard look and the sentiment looks AMAZING on it...don't you think?
Then for the butterflies, I used 2 of the new dies from the Pretty Butterflies Dragonfly dies and cut them using some Lawn Fawn designer paper. Using the matching stamps for the dies, I stamped a pattern onto both butterflies using some Tim Holtz distress ink in colors that matched the designer papers.
Some added bling to the butterflies and to the frame of the chalkboard and my project was ready to be displayed on my desk!

I totally ADORE how your project came out Jessica! It's so cute! You have done such a GREAT job with the release! I think this is my favorite project of yours from this go around! AWESOME girl!
ReplyDeleteSuper cool idea Jessica! I love it AND the sentiment! It will look fabulous on your desk:) So, is that a permanent application-did you spray to seal it or will it come off at some time? I would love to make a few of these but was wondering if the message can be wiped off at some point and be re-used or just a one time use? Thanks in advance for the info:)
ReplyDeleteGreat project my friend!
Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteLove your chalkboard technique--thanks for sharing. This card is so neat. I love the chalkboard look and the stamps is perfect.
ReplyDeleteJessica,
ReplyDeleteOH MY!!! what a CUTE project!!! I really like the stamped sentiment that you used here. I had noticed the "smeared chalk" on the background of the blackboard before I even read your description of the card. that gave a really nice touch.
I have to agree with you, these are definitely words to live by, and being Bipolar, I TRY to live by these words everyday!!
Keep up the great work!
Keep on Craftin'
