Running out of Glimmer Mist!  Isn’t it a scary thought?

Today I have a couple of projects to share with you, one of  ‘witch’ was a display at CHA Summer last year, but I don’t recall posting online.  So hopefully it is new to BOO.  Ok, I’ll stop doing the Halloween schtick now…

First, this Halloween themed mini-album, using the Garden book.  I love the swinging glimmer glass gates and how through the application of color the album can take on any theme. 

And I wanted to show you how you can mix up alphabets, even when you are missing a letter (or two).  The style of the alphabet frames lends itself to really getting the most out of every piece.  In my case, I had two ‘problems’.  I didn’t have a ‘w’.  but I quickly found that I could flip an ‘m’ upside down and get what I wanted.  Also, I didn’t have the insides of an ‘a’.  But look how great the inner frame works as a tombstone in my garden ‘graveyard’!  Lastly, I cut the letters for RIP from the Bingo board calling card set for Halloween that said ‘PUMPKIN CARVING’.  All the letters I needed were there.

I placed a piece of cardstock over the letters to cover half of them.  Then I sprayed Apple Glimmer Mist on the top half.  I let that dry for about 30 seconds and then moved the paper to cover the top portion of the letters.  Then I sprayed Pomegranate Glimmer Mist on the lower half of the letters.  Finally, to give it a spookier look, I added a light overall spray of Black Magic Glimmer Mist over the entire title and rubbed some chalk ink on top of them.

For the tombstone, I rubbed a bit of ink across the embossed design on the alphabet frame and then sprayed it with Granite Glimmer Mist.

The calling card ’sign’ is sprayed with Sugar Maple Glimmer Mist, with the edges dragged through the leftover spray on my misting mat for contrast.

My next project was on display at Summer CHA last year, in Orlando.  I loved the owl from the Graceful Journey stamp set.  It immediately reminded me of Hedwig from the Harry Potter book series.  So I made a hybrid scrapbook page using images I found online as a background. 

The Platform 9 3/4 image is a purchased ’stock image’ that I purchased.  I printed out my background image on an Epson R1800 printer.  I have found this ink to hold up to Glimmer Misting and general inking.  Yes, it does NOT make the ink run.  Don’t have it swimming in ink, mind you – but a typical application doesn’t degrade the image in the slightest.   I have posted about this before on my blog, if you would like to see another hybrid layout.

I added alphabet frames and a stamped owl.  I stamped the owl in brown Brilliance ink on a piece of vellum and sprayed that back liberally with Marshmallow Glimmer Mist to accentuate that white color of the vellum and add a magical sparkle.  I even made some ’spectacles’ on the background image using the pocketwatch alphabet frames.  A handmade broom embellishment was painted with Sugar Maple Glimmer Mist.  I used a calling card from the coordinating Bingo Board set as a journaling spot.

I hope you enjoyed these two projects I have shared with you.  And if you’ve read this far… you are in for a treat!  Besides listing the winner from Wednesday’s post – I will be adding another drawing as well.

The winner from Wednesday’s post is:

And a little bit of Rock’n Roll

Yep – I’m in a good mood- I mean it is summer …so how could I not Even with lot’s of work and projects Summer seems for me the time to refuel and get a lot of inspiration for the next few months. All the sunny days and even nights outside, the parties and time with family and friends, the things you see traveling, bicycling or just doing something outside…it is the way to refuel before the days get shorter and and the time in the studio finally gets longer And don’t get me wrong…looking forward to those days too.

BUT….still managed to create some things with the always inspiring products by Tattered Angels – it’s doesn’t matter what time of the year it is – a little bit of this and a little bit of that…and there you have it…Rockn’ Roll – LOL

Fairy Land Tag

I love the Tailored Tags – so many possiblities to use them for fun projects, like book marks, gift tags, pages for mini albums – or just for a fun tag as I did here, using different Glimmer Mist Colors.

Another Project I did was this Punky Sprouts Album using lot’s of Tattered Angel’s Products like Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Glam, Glimmer Chalkboard, Glimmer Glass , Clear Stamps, Glimmer Glaze,Glimmer Screens, Glimmer Chips etc. Combined with the wonderful Graphic 45 Papers it came out as a nice Beach Album …ehem …Down the Shore Album- for my NJ Sis in Law

For the clear pages I used some of the Beachthemed Tattered Chiptiles and Glimmer Glass and sprinkled some Glimmer Glam right onto the pages.

The Canvas pages were created this way: I sprayed the Canvas with a solid color that I wanted to look through the later used screens. Then I placed the Glimmer Screens onto the Canvas pages and then sprayed with different Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Chalkboard Colors – kind of working them together. Before lifting up the Screens I tapped the excess liquid off with a paper towel. Some of the images that I used the screens with are also later on stamped over to highlight the image even more.

oh yummie Glimmer Glam!!!

I really had an aweful lot of fun to create this album!

Wanna see more- LOL – I have more- here is an altered Shadow Frame I made for our upcoming anniversary and I used the beautiful beautiful new Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Fall Colors!!!! I love them soooo much!

And here is how the shadow frame looked after I had my Glimmer Hands on it

Here are the Supplies I used:

Tattered Angels: Glimmer Mist Fall 2010 Colors, Glimmer Glam Chandelier, Glimmer Screens, Tattered Trinket, Rockn’ Renaissance Costum Cut Outs, Tattered Traveler Clear Compact, Framed Fonts; SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES by 3L™ Foam Pads and Crafty Power Tape, Clear Gesso, Pepples, Prism white Cardstock

If you want to know how I did this- you can see the tutorial video on the Tattered Angels Educator blog.

But wait….there is more…LOL – one more…ok? What about a layout to close this post?

*The Many Faces of Israel*

It remains my favorite to create my own backgrounds with teh wonderful Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and with those cool Tattered Textures Stamps – not to forget the fun Framed Fonts that makes awesome frames for the pocket pictures I used.

So I hope those projects and layouts showed you how versatile the Tattered Angels Products are!

Wishing you a gorgeous and happy crafty day!!!!

The projects I enjoy the most are Cards, they can be such a special detail from the heart! I have created a few using some papers from my stash and lovely Tattered Angels stamps, chipboard and glimmer mist…

For this card I use my favorite Postage stamp framed fonts and I covered with coral reef Glimmer mist then I added some glitter, I use the Nature field notes  stamp, and for the inside more stamps from the timeless romance stamp set.

 Next a card created with some chipboard from the Glimmer Chips – Seaside Beach Comber Embossed covered with crushed shells  glimmer mist and glitter, I stamped a clock image on vellum, and I sprinkled the card with more glimmer mist.

And last for this card I use again the Framed fonts covered with vintage pink glimmer mist, glitter, one postcard transparency and the carpe diem chipboard sentiment

Thanks for stop by, have a great day!

Hi everyone!  So yesterday I told people it was June.  I’m a little behind.  :)  It took me all day to realize that it was actually July!  Time flies…seriously!  My June was full of weddings.  I made this layout of my Sister-in-law and her groom:

I used a bunch of Tattered Angels yumminess on this layout, including Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Screens, Calling Cards, and Stamps.  Here are some close up’s:

It’s hard to see in the photo but I sprayed Pearl Glimmer Mist on the white flowers to give them a bit of shine.  

I place some stamps in the background to help with the clustering.

And then here is a project I made for my sister, who just got married in Jamaica…

I used Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Screens, Glimmer Glass, Glimmer Chips, and Calling Cards.  :)  Here’s a close up:

I thought I would show you the edge too, because I took one of my favorite colors of Glimmer Mist (Frozen Lake) and just sprayed the edges of the canvas with it.

And finally here is one more canvas project.  I was working on a project the other day and my first attempt did not work out as I wanted it to.  So I started a new project and set this one aside.  Then I came back to my “messed up” canvas and used it anyways!  Art is all about the imperfections anyways!  :)  Here it is:

I used Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Glaze, Glimmer Chips, Ir-resist-ible Chips, Glimmer Glass, and Framed Fonts.  I used the cowboy Glimmer Glaze all around the edge and on the letters.   I just brushed it on after I did everything else.  I used the Mellow Yellow on the inside parts of the Glimmer Chip butterfly.  Here are some close up’s:

Well I hope you have enjoyed my projects and I hope you have a fabulous day!!!!

Hi from Singapore! I’m back to share some of my latest Tattered Angels projects.

Here’s the first one:

I created my own background design for this layout by misting some white cardstock. I laid out two butterfly glimmer screens over the white cardstock, then picking up the colours from the patterned paper, I misted the cardstock in shades of brown, orange and pink. The mists I used were Tattered Leather, Tutti Frutti, Peach Delight and Flower Power.

Here’s what the misted cardstock looked like:

And the completed layout:

As always, lots of inking, distressing, handcut details and layers on my layout.

And my favourite turn-to Tattered Angels embellishment – a chipboard butterfly from the Framed Font collection. lightly misted in Tattered Rose and inked in orange.

Next up, a layout using lots of Tattered Angels embellishments.

I used the Va Va Victorian Irresistable Chips on the layout. I really like that they’re resist-embossed so all you need to do is to mist directly onto the chip and the embossed areas will resist the mist, creating perfectly misted details every time.

Here’s a close-up:

I misted the Victorian chip rose with Apple Candy Red and the leaves with my favourite Olive Vine. I laid the the chip over Regal Glimmer Glass in cocoa. The alpha chipboards are from the Regal Framed Font collection. I liked how the original cream of the alpha chips looked against my layout and decided to keep the shade, but added some glimmer by misting it with Dazzling Diamonds.

I used more Victorian chip leaves and Glimmer Glass here. I like how the chip leaves work so well with the Prima flowers.

I layered lots of lace, trims and Websters Pages bloomers on this layout, which has portions of the cut out patterned paper raised up for a 3D finish. Some pearl flourishes complete the layout.

Finally, I have a card for you:

A romantic pastel card using stamps from the Timeless Romance collection, and a Regal Framed Font chip which I misted in Tattered Rose to complement the patterned paper.

I hope you liked my projects this month. I know I had lots of fun creating them. Check back here for more inspiration from the rest of the Tattered Angels Design Team all July.

Happy Scrapping!

Of Photos and Paper

Hi everyone!  I thought the blog was amazing this month – I loved seeing all of the Tattered Angels / Pink Paislee combos!  Before I show you my projects for the month, I wanted to thank all of the wonderful crafters that stopped by the Tattered Angels booth last weekend during GASC in Chantilly, VA.  I had a lot of fun at the demo table and all of you ladies were awesome!  It was also very nice to meet some of the Tattered Angels team – especially Kalie who did time with me in the demo booth, she was super sweet and she picks fabulous color combos.

So…on to my projects. First I have a card made using one of the Tattered Tags: Frames and Flourishes. 

The little black tag layered with it is from the Pink Paislee Baybeery Cottage Collection.  The foam swirls, glittered chipboard, brad and twill ribbon are also from Pink Paislee. The butterfly is from the Tattered Angels Framed Fonts Nature Collection. I sprayed the foam swirls (artisan elements) with Key Lime Pie GM. The butterfly, flower, and trim were all sprayed with Turquoise Blue GM. The trim and flower were made from the Pink Paislee Pleated Ribbon. I cut slits all along one side of the ribbon, I didn’t cut past the stitching that runs down the middle of the ribbon. Then I rolled the ribbon into a flower (using the same technique you would use to make those rolled paper or ribbon flowers that are very popular right now).

While I was at GASC last weekend I picked up the Spellbinders dies I’ve been wanting (Labels One and Labels Eight). The next two cards use the Labels Eight dies. I love these dies and I think you all are going to be seeing a lot of them! 

The card below uses patterned paper and die-cuts from the Pink Paislee Bayberry Cottage Collection and the Queen Bee Collection. The chipboard is all Tattered Angels. 

The  frame around the bird is from the Framed Fonts Postage Stamp Set (sprayed with Key Lime Pie, Meadow Green and Forest Green GM). The brackets around the die-cut are pieces cut from the frames that come in the Regal Framed Fonts Set (sprayed with Caribbean Blue and Electric Blue GM). The chipboard photo corner used as the roof is from the Regal Glimmer Chips Set (sprayed with the same colors as the postage frame). The bird is from the Va Va Victorian – Irresistable Chips Set (sprayed with Black Cherry and Cranberry Zing).

My last card uses patterned paper, die-cuts and large chipboard letters from the Pink Paislee 365 Degrees Collection. The foiled chipboard (wings, crown and stars) is from the Tattered Angels Rockin’ Royalty – Foil Chips Set.

The wings were sprayed with Key Lime Pie GM. The crown and stars were sprayed with Golden Terracotta and Tiger Lily GM.  The postage stamp frame was sprayed with Scarlet GM.

Well, that’s it for me today. If you are in the U.S. – I hope you enjoy the upcoming long weekend and have a happy and safe Fourth of July!   Take care – Patty

**UPDATE**  FLOWER TUTORIAL BELOW

Here is a series of photos to help describe the process for making the flower used on the Hello Card shown in this post.

Hello everyone!  My projects today definitely remind me of summer with the dragonfly, flowers, butterfly and the fresh pastel colors of the Glimmer Mists that I used.  Put them all together with some pretty Pink Paislee products and summer is in the air.

First up is a 12×12 layout that I created with the Pink Paislee 365 Degrees papers.
How I love red and pale blue colors together!  I misted the Tattered Angels Chipboard flourish piece with “Sea Glass” Glimmer Mist.   The alphabets from the “Framed Font’s” were misted with “Coffee Shop” mist. 

The “Key Lime” misted design was cut from a die cut paper and then I misted the back side of the paper which was white.  The paper flower’s center was misted with “Lemon Zest” Glimmer Mist and the center of the round chipboard piece was stamped with an image from the “Tattered Traveler” Clear Stamp set.

Next I created a “Dream” sign… because summer should be full of dreaming.

Again, I used paper from the “365 Degrees” collection.  The alphas were misted with “Sea Glass” Glimmer Mist.  The base of the sign was misted with Suede, Sunflower, and Flower Power– just to give the paper an bit of an aged look.  The leaves on the flower were misted with “Key Lime” then stamped with a portion of one of the Tattered Traveler Cleear Stamps.  The flower which was originally white was misted with “Sea Glass” around the outside edges of the petals then the center was misted with “Flower Power”.
The Glimmer Glass  butterfly was coated with a layer of clear glitter and the “Artisan Elements” from Pink Paislee were misted with “Suede” and “Sea Glass”.  I also added some clear sequins to add a little more sparkle to the elements of the sign.

The tag above was made with a white with blue dots paper from Pink Paislee’s “Bayberry Cottage” collection as the base.  The paper was misted with Key Lime, Lemon Grass, and Suede to change it’s color.  Next I added one of the collection’s Punch Outs to the bottom of the tag.
II used an embossing medium and black embossing powder to stamp the Dragonfly image from the Tattered Angels “Nature Field Notes” set.   The chipboard Frame was misted with “Juniper” and the roses were misted with “Cranberry Zing”.  Both of those colors are perfect with the Bayberry Cottage papers– it’s like they were created to go together.  The “happiness” tag is one of the Punch Outs from the collection.

Thanks for stopping by…..I hope that you are enjoying all of the pleasures that summer brings.

When the Pink Paisley parcel arrived down under it really brightened my day with all those fun colour combinations.

My first project this month was to frame up a positive affirmation with a beach theme. Pink Paisley’s Picket Fence, Imagine and Flower Garden have such a lovely texture style print.  Tattered Angels Seaside collection is a fabulous stamp set to complete the theme, combined with Heidi’s Irresistible Alphabets a fun and colourful page.  

June is the month when many of us need to be organising little gifts and cards. I created this card from Pink Paisley’s Honey Comb and Think Big papers and a rumpled dictionary page.  Topping them off with prima flowers and a Tattered Angels Butterfly Framed Font, popping out the center to frame up dictionary words.  
Glimmer Mists: Key Lime Pie and Turquoise

A little carry bag style folder is a quick way of wrapping a photo cd or gift card with a fun combination with Tattered Travellers Glimmer Chips.  Pink Paisley paper Trellis is a pretty shade of blue houndstooth that made me think of travelling through Europe. 
Glimmer Glaze:  Champagne, Cowboy and Orange Crush.

Thank you to everyone that commented on the altered book projects. This page has Pink Paisley’s Worker Bee as the background paper. First I misted the paper in shades of Sunshine and Crushed Shells before using Queen Bee rub on as an accent. Everyone has be saying how great these Artisan Frames are, being flexible you will be able to stick them every where and the amount of details in the frames makes it all the more fun to decorate.

Hi everyone!  This month is already flying by!  I can’t believe it is already my day to post!  But it is and I have some fun Tattered Angels and Pink Paislee projects to share with you.  :)

There are a couple things I want to point out on this layout.  Notice the frame around the title?  Well I cut that from one of the boxes that the Glimmer Screens come in.  And that swirl is cut from the plastic part that came with that stamp.  I also used Glimmer Mist, the butterfly Glimmer Screen, and some Glimmer Chips.

On this layout I used some stamps from the Time Traveler stamp set.  I love using stamps on my layouts and Tattered Angels has fabulous stamps!  I also used a Glimmer Screen, Glimmer Mist, a frame from a Framed Fonts collection and Glimmer Glass.

And then here is another project you can create from your packaging:

Did you notice what that is that I used for the base of my project?  It is the inside packaging that comes with Glimmer Chips.    I have a bunch of them laying around and they were just begging to be used.  On this project I also used Glimmer Mist, Calling Cards, Framed Fonts, and Glimmer Glass.

Thanks for checking out my projects!  Have a fantastic day!!!

Pamela
