Picture Tutorial on Making Tag Hearts~ Creative Inspirations Paint

Good Morning !!

On Sunday, Creative Inspirations Paint kicked of the next Inspired by Challenge.

This weeks challenge is 

Inspired By: Tags
and

the challenge is to make any project with a tag

so

I posted this tag

I received quite a few comments regarding how I made the hearts and I thought I would walk you through 

with a picture tutorial.

So here we go...

I started out with these fun chipboard pieces that I picked up at Michael's from the $1 bin

Colleen, another CIP DT member also made a project using these chipboard pieces which can be seen 

here

Next I choose the color of Creative Inspirations Paint I was going to work with.

Antique Silver, Blush, Evergreen and Tanzanite in this tutorial

Such a cool color combo I think...remember any colors will work :)

Using my paint brush I dabbed the color on.....so not paint them on.

You want the look of tie dyed, or splattered rather than a smooth coat

Don't be afraid to mix it up!

If there is not enough of one color, add more paint.

The more you play the different the end result will be

This is where my original project turned...

I was being very impatient waiting for the paint to dry so I took out my heat gun

and heated the hearts to quick dry them...

instead of just drying them...

the heat gun made the paint bubble giving the hearts even more texture and a splattered look.

Not the idea I was shooting for originally but so happy with how they ended up turning out.

Not only can you see the texture from the original unpainted embossed hearts, but the paint created a texture as well from being heated.

Now these hearts are ready for another project!!

I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial

and I would love to see you give this a try!!

Also would love to see you create a project for our challenge!!

All the details can be found

Thanks again for stopping by and have a great day!

E.A.D Designs!

Make sure to comment all around, including E.A.D Designs for a chance to win some goodies...plus get tons of awesome inspiration!!

I just got finished reading all 3 books in 

The Hunger Games series...

I read them in about a week and when I was about 20 pages from the end of book 3 I tried so hard to prolong the ending...

I did not want the book to be over!

What a GREAT series and I highly recommend it!!

My son is reading the book as well and I promised him that if he finished reading it we would go see the movie.

He is not done yet but hoping to take him next weekend.

So with all the hype with the book and everything, a fellow blogging buddy Cathie from the Cricut Creative Cutter Room 

posted this freebie cut file

and here is what I did with it

I had this tumbler sitting on my desk just waiting for some vinyl.Perfect opportunity!!!

I used E.A.D Designs vinyl in Mustard

and cut my Mockingjay out using my Silhouette Cameo

My son has already laid claims to this :)

I hope you have enjoyed my project!

Now you are off to the very talented 

Judith

Creative Inspirations Paint~Inspired By Tags Challenge

Good Morning Everyone!!

It is Sunday and time for another challenge over at

Creative Inspirations Paint!

This weeks challenge is...

Inspired by: Tags

we want to see any project that is a tag and/or has a tag

Here is what I created

For my tag I found these chipboard hearts in the $1 bin at Michaels

and started experimenting with my paints.

I used Sea Foam. Tutu Pink and Light Purple and kinda splattered the paints on the chipboard.

Being the impatient person I am...I didn't want to wait for the paint to fully dry so I used my heat gun to speed up the process.

While doing that, it caused the paint to bubble and give it the coolest texture!!

I was so loving the way it came out that I wanted the hearts to be the focal point on my tag and make it very CAS.

I also used the Sea Foam paint to color my satin ribbon which made matching a ribbon so easy!!

My fellow DT'er Sandie did a post here using this technique on the ribbon and I knew I wanted to give that a try!! It adds so much shimmer to the ribbon!!

My sentiment is from Paper Smooches~ Simple Sentiment set

and 

I used Twinery Twine in Lilac, Blossom and Caribbean

What do you think?

I hope you will join in this week for our new challenge!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT day!!

Teacher Appreciation Gift Box~ 3 Girl Jam DT Post

Morning Bloggers!!!

I am here with my first

3 Girl Jam DT project!

I am so excited to share this fun project with you!

Since Teacher Appreciation week

 is fast approaching, I wanted to get a jump start on some gifts for my 2 boys fabulous and oh so hard working teachers.

Here is what one of the Teacher will get.....

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out this adorable Apple Treat Box from

The Cutting Cafe

The sentiments, also from the same set were cut using

My Creative Time~scallop and stitched circle die 

and

my handy dandy scissors 

 To tie the gift tag on I used 

3 Girl Jam 

Crinkle Ribbon in Goblin Green 

Now.....

who said the Spooky Bundle was only for Halloween??

And....

What is a gift box without some yummy treats?

For the bag which fits perfectly into the box

I tied some more crinkle ribbon 

from

3 Girl Jam

in Hot Chocolate and Holly Berry

No fancy bows...just a straight tie and I think it looks great!

Additional items used include:

Foam pop dots for the sentiments

Stickles in Xmas Red

White gel pen for doodles

Cuttle bug folders in Divine Swirl and Argyle 

What do you think?

Thanks so much for checking out my project

and have a GREAT day!!
