Sunday Stampers - Week 89 - Anyone Who Had a Heart....PLUS OWOH & Candy!

Morning Stampers...blimey, what a week ... first of all, many thanks to everyone who has joined in with last weeks challenge, it was great to see so much lovely art and some new peeps too :O)) Secondly, wowzers at the amazing comments I have been left for the One World One Heart 2010 event...and, by way of a thank you I am adding this weeks challenge entry to the giveaway list...and, not forgetting all you lovely Stampers on a Sunday, there is a little Candy giveaway too.




The theme this week is...HEARTS which is in keeping with the OWOH event too...all you need to do to join in with the challenge is make something that includes the theme and some stamping and leave me a comment on this post with a link to the place you are showing your creation. To be in with a chance of winning the candy, all you need to do is leave me a comment & become a follower of my Blog and add a link on your blog to this post... or join in ... or all three! The candy is a set of my Stitchels Dashy Dot designs u/m stamps and a piece of Kling On to mount them onto.





So.. the week! Well, Larry the Laptop sadly gave up the ghost on Wednesday and as hard as Grim tried to fix it, it conked out...so, I had to go and get a new one... now, indulge me a bit here...as much as I hate to admit it...I LOVE my new lappy...which is called Lionel...but I didn't love shelling out all my stash money which was supposed to be buying the new Wendy Vecchi stamps and the new Tim stash....mmmm....I think I will have to appeal to Grim's better nature and see if I can get him to buy me some for my birthday...which isn't til June but I like early birthday pressies LOL And, I have got Windows 7...and it is super speedy, which means that poor Grim doesn't have to listen to me cursing everytime I try to get online ROFL




My entry this week was a cobbled together affair to say the least...I had a free afternoon...and sat there twiddling my not so inky thumbs with a distinct lack of Mojo! Typical! So, I reverted to the one thing that always gets me creating...and that is a Shadow Box...which is my last one in the stash, so that is something else needed on the wishlist LOL The frame was painted with *just to be predictable* Claudine Hellmuth Traditional Tan paint, covered with blobs of Rock Candy Crackle and then once this was dry and crackled, I spritzed the whole lot with a combo of Lily Pad and English Ivy Glimmer Mists....which was waaaay too green, so I slapped on some Walnut Stain Glimmer Mist to calm it down a bit.




The collage in the centre was made using a piece of card, cutting it into oblongs (you know, I haven't said that word since I was at school ROFL) and squares, using Old Paper, Peeled Paint and Brushed Corduroy DI's to colour the card, stamping with Walnut Stain DI and then edging all the pieces with Walnut Stain to make the pop a little bit. I added some Idea-ology and a Fragment to the collage...oh, and all the stamping is done with Tim Holtz collection stamps...and the heart is kind of obscured by the Idea-ology frame at the top...bad planning of the layout there me thinks!




To finish the box, I added some more Idea-ology and then rootled through my junky box and found a rusty tin heart, a teensy watch bit, part of an yakky old earring which I prised the back off and cleaned it up a bit...and added a little bottle with beads in...well, all my Shadow Boxes have these little bottles so I couldn't leave one out of this one. The word in the Idea-ology frame is an Adage ticket which I inked and then used Rock Candy Stickles too.....oh, and I added these to the heart too...so it didn't get lost in the whole design :O)) Here is a piccy of the Candy




Anyways, that is way too much waffling from me...I am typing so much cos I am loooooving this new keyboard, it is all bouncy and non of the letters have worn off yet *N keys seem to fall foul of my fingernails* Have a great week everyone and please don't forget to do the stuff to be in with a chance of winning the Candy :O))

PS...please scroll down for the OWOH posts...also, the pics of the giveaways are on my sidebar....and I will make a dedicated post later this week at the top...when I get time...if I can drag myself away from fiddling with my new toy ROFL

Sunday Stamper - Week 88 - Hip To Be Square

Morning Stampers ... have you noticed I am not in my usual place??? Do I look different? Aha, that is cos today I am having to post from....THE BIG COMPUTER! My laptop has passed away (or at least, it will have once I have removed my boot from it...why are computers so annoying, you just get used to it, it understands you, you understand it... and then it goes and plays silly beggars and annoys you so much that you inflict harm on it....ROFL) so Grim has allowed me onto his pride and joy purely to post the new challenge...he just knows how rubbish I am with computers and how I break things, unwittingly of course, but clumsy is, afterall, my middlename ROFL First of all...THANK YOU for all your lovely entries last week... it was lovely to see so many new faces joining in too. I used Random.Org to pick out a winner...basically, using the usual formula, every entry assigned a number in order with date/time posted and then picked out this way...the lucky number was 7. Without further ado, I am pleased to annouce the winner of the "Sponsors" candy from The Artistic Stamper is....

Clarky J - congrats and please email your addy etc to me and I will pop your candy into the post.




Moving on...the new theme this week is....hips....ahahaha, got you going there... really it is SQUARES... and I used some 2" squares of Stampbord to make a little hangy piece. The base is an 8" square canvas oil board which I first painted with ... Traditional Tan (why use anything other when this is THE perfect paint!!!) and then layered some stamped tissue over it using Beeswax to fix it down...the stamping was done with StaZon and are Crafty Individuals stamps and an Artistic Stamper script stamp.





Now, once this was done it was way too in my face, not subtle at all (and, afterall, subtle is my middle name...along with clumsy LOL) so I layered another sheet of plain tissue over the top, using more Beeswax over the top...and then watered down some of the Trad Tan and blended this over the top using Cut & Dry foam. I used some little sprinkles of gold embossing powder to jazz up the edges and randomly over the bumpy bits just to add a bit of emphasis and to close the piece in I dragged a black StaZon around the edges too.




The tiles are all inked with a combo of Adirondack Foam Pigments and Chalk Inks and Colorbox Pigments. I have found that these pigments seem to work the best on Stampbord...basically, just heat set between colourings and stamping...and then I used a scratchy tool to scrape away bits of the images to add some highlights.




Each tile was then UTEE'd with three layers altogether so you get a really cool ceramic look..which doesn't really show up on the photo's too well. I edged all the tiles with gold Krylon to make them nice and neat and then to blend them more into the background I swiped a StaZon around the edges, just roughly, which toned them down a bit.




The stamping was all done with black StaZon and are a bit eclectic this week... no real theme, just some random images that are some of my faves and are from *in no particular order* Crafty Individuals, PaperBag Studio's, Stamp Francisco, Prima, Stampers Anon and The Stamp Bug... I have to admit, this piece is totally unlike the idea I had in my head...so that project, hopefully, will be made today...and will be the One World One Heart giveaway tomorrow :O)) If you are wondering what I am waffling on about, there is a link in my sidebar for you to click on and get transported to the place that is setting it all up...several friends joined in with it last year and loved it...so I thought I would give it a go this year!




Anyway...back to the hangy piece...I added some eyelets and rusty wire for the hangy bit and added a little bead that I nabbed from an old bracelet and a Philiosophy Tag which I dabbed with gold paint and wiped off so the gold stayed in the indentations. Finally, I added some micro beads randomly round the edges, again, they don't show up too well on the pics and some more of the heavenly golden pearls that I am fast running out of now!



To join in with the challenge, all you need to do is make a piece of art, be it a card, ATC, altered, tis up to you, incorporate the theme and some stamping and then pop back and leave me a comment on this post with a link to the place you are showing your piece... then I can hop over and visit you :O)) The challenge will remain open until 23:00 on Saturday 30th January...so you have all week to play!

Thanks for looking and I hope that you all have a great week!

The Beeswax Experiment...

...Aha! Not a single drop of Beeswax on my clothes this time...I was ultra careful LOL I have been fiddling about with tissue paper and some Studio 490 stamps today...and wondered if Grungepaper would look any good if it had Beeswax painted onto it...so I had a go...I mean, all I had to lose was a bit of Grungepaper and I do like a good experiment :O))




This little canvas is 4" square...my fave size to work on, not too big, not too small and it hasn't got deep edges...which for some reason I have developed an aversion to! I started off by painting the canvas with Traditional Tan paint...and then I used some tissue paper, stamped with Wendy Vecchi's amazing background stamps, and then popped them onto the canvas with Beeswax...I reckon I am getting a dab hand at this stuff...considering I was frightened stupid of the stuff until a few months ago!!




I made a little sentiment piece using a cut of mountboard, painted with Traditional Tan (what else?) and then stamped the sentiment onto tissue and beeswaxed it over the top. I popped this into a Memory Frame and added some Idea-ology bits to the loop at the bottom...and then set about the "experiment" *dah, dah, daaaaaah* After stamping a flower and Distress Inking some Grungepaper I dabbed the tips of the flower with Beeswax...so far so good...and...get this...it actually helps to keep the curls curled, if you know what I mean...it strengthens them, so to speak... to the point that I later added Rock Candy Stickles and the curls stayed put...usually they tend to flatten out again.





Getting ever bolder, I then made a Grungepaper rose...and before I assembled the layers I dipped them into the Melt Pot of Beeswax...and I am rather chuffed with the look...kind of shabby and distressy but not too glossy. I added some Rock Candy Stickles over the top of the Beeswax to match with the flower and leaves....and then..to finish the canvas off I added a strip of Sticky Back canvas to separate the two patterns and popped some Film Strip over the top...that was a right beggar to stick as well...I ended up using Super Glue..and...I am proud to annouce that none of my fingers are stuck together...nor are they stuck to anything else!! I must be getting less clumsy in my old age ROFL Look at those heavenly Trinket Pins behind the rose...they are by Maya Road...and I think they are FAB!




Thanks for looking...I would love to hear what you think of the Beeswax on Grungepaper...do you like the look? Is it a bit too grungey? Is it a bit yukky...or do you love it?

Nice & Shabby Does It....

...As you probably know, I have a range of stamps called Stitchels (cos they have stitches in them...and my name is Hels LOL) As well as the stamps themselves there are some Stitchels Shabby's to go with them...all of which are handmade by my fair inky fingers, all different and ever so slightly battered so they go really well with all kinds of grungey and distressy stuff.




I took one of these Shabby's and popped it into a Melt Pot of clear UTEE...very much like the Faux Procelain that Jennie did a few weeks ago...I was really chuffed with the effect that I got, so I added a little pin clasp to the back and voila! A brooch! And a sturdy one at that ... surprisingly I thought that it would be a bit brittle but it is fab, the paper inside helps it to flex a bit I think. So, here is a piccie I took of three that are now brooches...and the others were used on the Sunday Stamper box...which reminds me to remind you...the Sunday Stamper this week is 2 years old and is sponsored by The Artistic Stamper...click HERE to go to the post so you can still join in if you like :O))

Thanks for looking...

Heavy Metals....

...There is a new challenge on the Gingersnap Creations blog today...the theme being Metallics. I made a card for my entry...and keeping in with the embossing theme this month...er...went a bit bonkers with the gold powder :O))




I used some fab Serendipity stamps...those butterflies are so sweet and the sentiment is one that I have been after for yonks and seem to be using it almost everything at the moment LOL **as usual the photo's are baaaaaaad, I need to try and get this card done in natural light...it does look better in the real...honest :O))**




The main image was stamped and embossed with gold...and then I added some gold Stickles to it ... more bling...and made a fancy centre piece using a Martha Stewart punch and some gold cardstock, adding gold thread with a little gold butterfly charm...and finishing with gold brads. You may be misled into believing that I like gold...actually, I am more of a silver girl but for some reason this stamp just told me to use gold with it...do you ever get your stamps talking to you? NO!!!? Just me that is barking mad then ROFL

Thanks for looking...don't forget to hop over to the Gingersnaps...the challenge is fab..and there is candy up for grabs too :O))

Black & White...Short & Sweet....

...Just a quickie today...three ATC's I made for the UK Stampers swap this month...the theme is Black & White...

ATC 1




I cut some mountboard to ATC size and used a Tim Holtz dandelion stamp using Black Soot, which I spritzed with water before stamping a couple of times...adding in some little dotty's as a fill in and a CAtslife Press sentiment and three black pearls to finish

ATC 2




Another mountboard base, stamped with a Stampers Anon stamp, which was chopped into and some of the squares layered on two different heights for definition and then a wordy stamp, source unknown...and edged with black embossing powder.

ATC 3




More mountboard, this time again with the TH dandelion...which was embossed with black powder and then ISC sentiment and butterflies added ... with a bit of Black Diamond Stickles around the edge

Thanks for looking...sorry it is a quicky tonight...there is a new Gingersnap challenge tomorrow and I promise to be more talkative *is that a good thing or a bad thing though???*LOL

Another Page In My....

....nope, not Diary...but Calendar :O)) *or am I reallly showing my age referring to this song title...which, BTW is one of my favest songs ever :O))* This is the June entry for Andrea's calendar...it is taking me ages to get the whole thing blogged...I am determined to do it before the end of January though!




Made with a Tilda - she is my fave one I think - coloured with ProMarkers and some Basic Grey Wisteria papers, which were cut into 1 1/2 inch squares...and some Prima's...and some fancy pins that I threaded with some silver charmy things which I couldn't work out what they were for...but I think they match the Tilda with the wings...if you know what I mean!




No more mishaps today...been a quiet day...tried a few new to me techniques and I have the filthiest fingers...hopefully I will be able to finish the thing I am making and post it tomorrow :O)) Thanks for looking...short n sweet today....bit like me LOL

Sunday Stampers - Week 87 - Happy Birthday...To...

...The Sunday Stamper! Today we are two years old! I can't believe that it has been going for so long...indeed, it only started out for a few weeks...and now, 2 years on we are still going strong *that rhymed...perhaps there is a poet in me LOL* To honour our second birthday, I have a special Sponsor for the challenge today...namely, Jennie from The Artistic Stamper, who has very kindly donated some heavenly Mabel Lucie Attwell stamps and Kling On to go with them...all you need to do to be in with a chance to win the goodies is join in with the challenge...make something, include some stamping and the theme and then leave me a comment here with a link to the place you are showing your art. The winner will be chosen at random and announced next Sunday and this challenge will run until Saturday 23rd January. Thanks to all who joined in with the rather strange theme last week...this week the theme is Birthday's...which is a doddle for everyone so come on and join in and make some ART :O))




I used a Mabel Lucie Attwell stamp for my project this week... I altered a box that has been lounging about for yonks, waiting for the right time to be played with...starting by painting the outsides with Traditional Tan paint *why use any other when this is perfect!!* and then streaking some Sable Brown and Painterly Pink paints over with a bit of Cut & Dry foam.




Once the paint had dried, I stamped Mabel onto some tissue paper and then used Beeswax to make a collage onto the lid of the box, using a variety of background stamps and a birthday sentiment. Then...you will never guess what happened!!!! I had finished with the Beeswax and was moving the now cooling down Melt Pot onto the other desk...when the wire got caught around my chair castor...and the Melt Pot tipped up into my lap!!!! After my story yesterday I just couldn't believe it had happened again...this time on a mammoth scale..to the point that my tshirt was covered, as was the whole of my left leg from hip to slipper...thank heavens the wax was starting to cool...but it is stuck like you know what to a blanket and I fear my crafting trousers are going to be sent to the great trouser heaven in the sky...along with my tshirt, which has annoyed me cos it was really comfy and warm and one of my faves!!!! I was seriously thinking of giving up with the Melt Pot...but...

I had to reheat it again to carry on with the rest of the project....this time using clear UTEE to make some Faux Porcelain flowers, as detailed HERE on Jennie's blog....I used Stitchels Shabby's and just plonked them into the UTEE, wiggled them about a bit and then drained off the excess before sticking a badge pin on the back...so they are brooches as well as embellies!




Here are a few pics of the stamps which are up for grabs...and the list is as follows:





6 Mabel Lucie Attwell Unmounted stamps
1 Sheet of Kling On Repositionable Cushioning

AND

A little something from me...namely the box I made for today...and lost my trousers for...think of the agony I will have to go thru when I finally put them into the rubbish...they are my fave crafting joggies, comfy, tatty and covered in Gesso already...*sighs for sympathy* LOL

Thanks for looking...and don't forget, to be in with a chance of winning the Candy, just join in with the challenge and leave a link here for me....have a great week...AND...THANK YOU to everyone who has joined in with the Sunday Stamper since Jan 08...I have made a load of blogging friends and found so much inspiration along the way!

Hels x

PS...If you get chance, please pop over to the Gingersnap Blog today...I have a Resist Technique Tutorial on there and would love to hear what you think...is it useful and do you likey???? :O))

The Moral of the Story....

...Remember I said that I went on a workshop to learn how to use Beeswax at LB Crafts? Well, here is the gorgeous piece that I made on the class...thanks to the expert *and very patient* tuition from Lin Brown, I now can use Beeswax...properly, like without sploshing it all over me, my desk and making a general muck up of things LOL I wasn't going to admit this to anyone...a few close friends know already because I knew they wouldn't laugh *ha, they did* but...the first time I ever attempted to use Beeswax I had a great mishap...of major proportions, resulting in a lot of pain and a very red face.... What happened was...*you may want to get some tissues here cos I know you will be crying with sympathy for me (more like laughter)*... I saw a fab article in Craft Stamper by Kate Crane...how to make a Beeswax collage...so I thought that I would have a try and follow the step by steps...well, I forgot to take the mag up to the Room of Stash and being so lazy I couldn't scale our steep stairs to go and get it...so tried to wing it...and what happened next is probably one of my most stupidest things I have ever done.....ever! *and that is saying a lot*




I inadvertantly dropped a dollop of melted Beeswax onto my trousers...my best trousers that I am banned from even stepping into the Room of Stash wearing...because I was rushing about and wanted to strike while the Melt Pot was hot, I thought that I would take the risk...I wasn't going to be using too much ink after all...so the trousers would be safe right? *wrong, as usual* So, I am sitting there, cursing like a Docker at the dollop of Beeswax that has hardened in about 2 seconds when I remembered an "old wives tale" remedy *who are those old wives BTW?* for getting candlewax out of materials...you just heat it up and dab with tissue or brown paper...simple, my trousers would be back to normal and I could redeem myself...




So...I picked up the Heat Gun... I have one of the hairdryer types, extra hot but very gentle...and started to melt the wax...whilst my legs were still in the trousers....*at this point I expect that you will all be crying for me...no, not with laughter!!* When I said I had cursed earlier...well, that was nothing compared to the cursing that went on for the rest of that day...needless to say, the trousers were binned, the leg was swaddled with a cold compress *and blimey, my hot bath that night was so a mistake....even more ouching going on when the hot water touched my rather tender leg* However, all was not lost...you see, I have a bit of a food baby belly *ok a lot of one* and thank heavens for that...for if I were to be the skinny minny that I have always dreamt of being, I would have given myself a Brazillian of the most extreme sorts...so...in all, my foray into the world of Beeswax came to a rather abrupt halt...until dear Lin spent five or six hours showing me how to use it properly...and safely ROFL




Why I have decided to pass on this story today I have no idea other than I fancied making you all laugh and wanted to show off the piece of art I made but didn't want to waffle about the how to's...you can go to LB and do a class yourself and then you too can be a safe Beeswaxer, which is what I now am :O)) *did anyone spot the not so deliberate mistake on the artwork? A bit of over zealous cutting? A little prize for the first person who gets it right.....*




Thanks for reading...and looking...The Moral of this Story is never use Beeswax without first changing into old clothes and never attempt to remove hardened Beeswax from your clothes..while you are still in them....ROFL Please pop back tomorrow...it is a very special day for the Sunday Stamper...it is 2 years old AND I have a Sponsor with some FAB candy to giveaway!

The Bird & The Bees...

....Wax! I have finally managed to be brave enough to attempt a Beeswax project all by myself :O)) I went on a Beeswax class at LB Crafts back in December and totally loved playing and making something that looks great and different at the same time. I used Natural Beeswax pellets in my Melt Pot and some fancy tissues that I bought in a heavenly shop in Faversham last time I went to see Jennie...I did have to explain why I bought so many packets of tissues and napkins...she probably thought I had lost the plot...or was expecting a posh cold LOL




The canvas is a diddy one...just 4" x 3" and deep edged, pre-gesso'd so no mucking about first...I just painted it with...erm...*why change a habit?* Traditional Tan Claudine Hellmuth paint... I know, I know, it is always that colour but it just lends itself sooo well to most things...anyway, I split the tissues so it was just one layer (or for those who study loo rolls, ply :O}) and then painted a bit of Beeswax onto the canvas and then overlaid the tissue...the used my heatgun to keep the wax melted whilst I placed my tissue bits where I wanted them...and used a paintbrush to smooth out the surface and get an even layer of wax.




The cute birdy is a Long Tailed Tit...**oh how I wanted to call the title of this post something else but I just didn't dare...I could have been reported for being naughty ROFL**...I cut this little fella out of the tissue pattern and popped him onto the canvas in the same way as above. I used some script stamps to break up the plain background...stamping with Timber Brown StaZon...adding teensy round fragments over the letters to make them stand out and I then added some divine little gold pearls that I bought yonks ago on eBay and found them when I was tidying the room the other night...they were pre-strung and are cultivated wotsits...so they are all different shapes and sizes which I thought made them look prettier. The final bits were a few clear micro beads in clumps and then a swoosh of Gold Krylon around the edges to finish it.




Then...disaster struck! There I was merrily tidying away *so good still* and I dropped the StaZon pad onto the canvas!!!!!!!!! Before I had put the lid back on properly!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!! But...I rectified this mess up by swooshing the pad right around the edges over the Krylon which thankfully didn't rub off onto the pad and I actually think that it frames it better!




Thanks for looking...sorry I haven't visited peeps for a few days...been bogged down with the Lappy being re-jigged and haven't been able to get online much...Now I am up and running properly I will be able to hop later to see all your lovely creations :O))

WOYWW... Tidy!

...I got my Mojo back..yay! And...I have to say that I was totally inspired by Lin's tag on her BLOG...you have to see it .. it is amazing...so I got the Ten Seconds Studio's stash out...and the Melt Pot and copied her LOL Instead of a tag, I used a large piece of Maya Road chipboard from a book and altered that to make a hangy piece... **the pics are rubbish...Grim has updated the laptop...and the old PSP is now a new one and I cannot for the life of me fathom how to use it properly...am such a dinosaur..so, the old one will be back on the lappy tomorrow..hopefully LOL**




I used gold metal (cannot remember who makes this one tho) and TSS embossing board...using Lin's "controlled squish" on the diamonds and doodling into them and then using black paint to antique it. I used Ferro and Terra...stamping a blocky stamp from Green Pepper Press into the Ferro and then highlighting it with black and then Precious Metal gold paint. I added a little metal rose...which was stamped with the medium Flower Power stamp from The Artistic Stamper...and I doodled on this too before adding more black paint to match it in. The rest of the stuff is Idea-ology and a few bits of ribbon.




Also, just in time to say what is on my desk today...I am so late posting...mainly cos we went to see Avatar....wow, it is an amaaaazing film... we saw it in 3d and I made a burk of myself because I kept flinching and then...tried to catch what I thought was a floaty thingy in front of me...when it was actually on the screen...thank heavens it was dark so no one saw me ROFL Hop on over to Julia's blog...she has loads of peeps showing off their work areas...and now mine is all tidy and neat I feel a bit happier :O))




And...I just have to share this snapshot of AlfieCat...I was trying to take a piccie of him looking cute...and he moved...like cats do...so instead I got a piccie of his teeth! He isn't that fierce really .. infact...he is quite a pussycat *groans*




Thanks for looking...
