When I just saw the new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Use Patterned Paper, I was immediately inspired to take pictures of my latest upcycled cigar box which I recently made using patterned papers that have a dog theme. I added some embellishments to the lid and there you go...
Based on my being recognized at the Cut It Up Challenge Blog last month, I am serving as a guest designer for their current Spring Challenge. The theme is die cut flowers and/or butterflies. In response to the challenge, I upcycled a cigar box with a Flower and Gnome theme in mind.
The supplies I used are as follows:
PhotoPlay Papers: Tulla and Norbert collection
Heartfelt Creations: Oakberry Lane Blossoms (cling stamps and craft dies), flower stamens
Gina K Designs and Therm-O-Web: Gnome for the Holidays Craft Kit (including gnome dies)
Distress Inks: used to color the die cut flowers
Here is another two-page spread from my art journal made using Dyan Reaveley products from Ranger. I'm playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Anything But a Card
During COVID pandemic, I was looking for some new crafty endeavors and I ended up purchasing some Dyan Reaveley products through Ranger. Subsequently, I started playing around with the inks, paints, stencils, and stamps to make this two-page art journal layout. Hopefully I'll get to playing around some more in the near future. In the meantime, I am playing along with this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Anything But a Card
