I made this Christmas decoration in an afternoon. You’ll need plain wooden letters to spell out a word, a frame, a piece of decorative paper, a home decor stamp and paints. I used the metallic watercolors I was gushing about yesterday. Sand and prime your wooden letters, stamp your home decor stamp on them using […]

My scrap paper pile was getting to the point where I was going to have to start a second one, so I started working on some projects to use up some of the scraps. The bird garland turned out pretty nice and I’m using it as a Christmas decoration. I just cut a bunch of […]

This was a quick card we put together this morning using the Sizzix turkey die. It is perfect for a group of children, since you can make a ton of turkeys very cheaply. First, we cut out a stack of turkeys in different colors and one plain white turkey. Then, we cut the feathers off […]

Rubber stamped paper Christmas ornaments are a really fun and easy project. Just grab a few stamps and some scrap paper and stamp a pattern on the paper. You may want to emboss and add glitter, too. Then, fold the paper in half and cut out a shape. This picture is of one of the […]

I kept meaning to play with the Sculpy I bought and then today I had two sick kids home, so it seemed like the perfect time. They played with their clay and I played with mine. It takes some getting used to, but I think this was pretty good for a first attempt. I used […]

I missed last week’s class at Studio 432. I heard it was fantastic, but so was this week’s class - making a magnetic board using recycled gift cards. Next week’s class is art dolls and I so wish I could go. The dolls on display are absolutely marvelous and are made using mint tins and […]

I’m on a recycling kick, I guess. This tag is made completely from scraps I was going to toss out - a piece of cardboard for the tag body, a bunch of one inch strips from all the skinny book pages I’ve been working on, a baby wipe I’ve been using to wipe away excess […]

It’s July and I have Christmas on my mind. I’ve been working on gifts and decorations for the last few days. One of the things I’ve made is this mixed media star. I cut it from flannel, painted it, stamped it with my current favorite home decor stamp and then sewed it together. I have […]
