Crafting with Wine Corks


Hello!  Since I have been trying to use up some of the stash of items that I save, I decided to make use of some of the wine corks that I have been accumulating and make something for my fall decor.  I made Pumpkins using the corks with acrylic paint (bought this years ago at a clearance sale), green cardstock from stash, Green Washi tape, raffia ribbon, hot glue and gun, and some wire.  No items were purchased for this project since I had all the supplies on hand. For the smaller pumpkin, I used 33 corks plus 1 for the stem and used 48 corks plus 1 for the larger size pumpkin.  That's 88 bottles of wine!!

Lucky Me



Welcome to my studio! I recently received Power Poppy Shamrock-n-Roll digital images and sentiments. These stamps are perfect for St. Patrick's Day cards. I created 2 cards using the same stamps on both cards.  For the above card I printed the no line image on White CS with the sentiment that I colored green before printing.  I colored the image with Copic Markers and added some Flower Soft Raspberry Fizz to the clover and tied on a bit of Raffia to give texture and dimension.  Adhered the trimmed image to a Pattern Paper background and then to GKD Grass Green card base. 

For the second card I printed the image on white cardstock and colored with different Copic Markers.  I trimmed the image with a Spellbinders die and inked the edges with a Pink Copic.  I used Crushed Velvet Flock to add texture to the bloom and tie. Have not used this product or the Flower soft in ages but it does add a nice touch of texture. The flocking does not show up in the photo but looks good in real life. I printed the Power Poppy sentiment on a panel of pattern paper and assembled the card with a White Cardstock base. 

Challenges:
Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge: Always all about using patterned paper.
Allsorts Challenge: Week 559 Dies and/or Punches. Used die on second card.

Creative Confetti Challenge: Inspired by a Song. This image of Shamrocks reminded me of the song "I'm looking over a four leaf clover"

Wrapping Gifts

Welcome!  I hope you all had a great New Year's Eve and I wish you much Health and Happiness in 2020!  Today I am sharing some wrapping paper and tags that I created using some Artsystamper  digital images with some neutral colored paper from my stash.  I often give sets of handmade cards as gifts in clear boxes and I needed to gift wrap them and decided to created my own design of wrapping paper using 8.5" x11".  Then I decided that I needed to add coordinated tags that I printed using the same paper and digital images.  The gift package with tag that I created is shown above. I used Photoshop to layout the designs and printed them on  paper. The Pine Cone and Pine Needles digital images that I used were free gifts available to the Artsystamper Art Group on Facebook.
