Brusho Crystal Colours Card Backgrounds



Now that was fun!  Just got thru playing with my new Brusho Crystal Colours from Stampin' Up! to make some quick, easy and dramatic card backgrounds.  
 To create these backgrounds I used mixed media paper from my stash.  It was so easy.  I just enjoyed experimenting with techniques.  The first ones I made I sprinkled the crystals on to dry paper and then sprayed with water.  I was a little heavy handed with the water and it created more of a wash look, which was beautiful.  But I wanted to try to keep the textured look of the crystals, so I went back after papers dried a little and sprinkled more crystals on.  That worked pretty well, as you can see in the wizard card and celebrate you peach/orange card.  
 I then just kept playing with less water and even sprinkling the crystals on to paper that I had already sprayed with water.  I can't tell you how much I enjoyed watching the colors bloom and spread, creating gorgeous effects. 
 Here are pictures of the backgrounds before stamping.  The new Brusho set from Stampin' Up! comes with five incredible colors.  But as you can see, each color has different color crystals mixed together, so the possibilities are endless.

 You can get some pretty dramatic effects by just using these.  I love how they mixed and played together.  





Here's the video of the cards!



I enjoyed using several different sets to stamp these cards.  Below is a list of the items used to create these cards:




 Brusho Crystal Colours 
 Birthday Blossom
Birthday Blossoms Clear Mount Stamps
Touches of Texture Clear Mount Stamps
Birthday Wit Clear Mount Stamps
Rose Wonder Photopolymer Stamps
Well, I hope you are having fun "crafting memories" this new year!

My Craft Room Tour 2018


I wanted to take advantage of the one moment in time, when my craft room was clean, to film a quick video tour.   I  am so happy with how my new craft space is working for me.  Hope you enjoy walking thru it with me.

I still can't believe I have actually done this big move.  We converted our former living room to my new crafting space.  We have been in this home for over two decades and have only every used the living room for once a year, one day Christmas celebrations.  When  I watched a video from Melody Lane, where she moved into her new home and used the traditional living space for her craft area, I was hooked.

So using furniture from IKEA and Target, and with the help of my fabulous husband, we created plenty of storage for my stash.  Hope you enjoy the video walk thru!

FYI:  
Ikea DVD shelving units are called GNEDBY
Under table drawer units are from the ALEX collection
Cube units and collapsible totes are from Target in the organzier section near hardware.

Beautiful New Stampin1 Up! Cards from Team Swap!


So happy to have just received these beautiful cards from a team swap hosted by my upline, Susan, of WOW NOLA Creations.

All of the ladies did a beautiful job, creating some gorgeous cards.   (just click the highlighted words below to be taken directly to view the links)

This first card is from Nancy Sanders of Stampin' on Sander's Pond.  She used the Waterfront set for the new Occasions 2018 catalog How perfect a set for her to showcase.  Love how many colors she incorporated into this tranquil card.

 Next up, Helene Hebert created this beautiful card, using the Petal Palette set, also from the new catalog.  I just love how she added the stamping to the envelope.  Plus, her coloring is exquisite!  Love this card!  
Dawn Galland used the Magical Day suite.  This intricate and playful card is sure to be kept out on the mantel or desktop for a long time!  I love how many colors and papers Dawn used to create this "magical" scene. 
 Susan L. of WOW NOLA Creations also used the Petal Palette stamp set, but used papers from the Painted with Love Suite.  

I am amazed by all the layering Susan did to create the perfect nest for this sweet little bird.  Just beautiful and truly a WOW card!
I couldn't resist using the Cake Soiree suite for my card.  The colors, intricate dies and beautiful, graceful stamp set just called out to me.

I had fun using the coordinating masks and Shimmering White Embossing Paste to ice my cake.  I did use a die I had in my stash to cut the background card.  And loved using just a bit of so many of the beautiful papers to layer onto it.  

A heartfelt thank you to all the ladies who shared their talent and love  and creativity in this swap.  And a very special thank you to Susan for hosting this for us!

Hugs and have fun "crafting memories"
