The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - G45 You are My Sunshine Card

Hello everyone and happy Friday!  This week seems like it just kind of flew by.  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and I have a CAS (Clean And Simple) card to share with you.


For my card I used some of the beautiful papers from the Graphic45 Sun Kissed 8 x 8 Collection.  I just love the sweet image of the little girl at the beach.  I know sometimes people can be scared to use the G45 papers because the patterns are so pretty and they don't want to cut into the paper.  But I always say let the paper do the work for you.  Cut the paper!  You will be so happy you did lol.  The paper collections are filled with so many wonderful patterns and beautiful images it makes creating cards a breeze.  This is a very CAS card and it came together in just a few minutes.  


Here is a close up of the little girl image.  I layered another piece of pattern paper behind the image and used some Foam Tape to pop it up and add some dimension.  


I used another piece of pattern paper for the sentiment on the card and I also added some foam tape to this piece.


I picked out yet another piece of the pattern paper and used it for the background on the card.  I adhered everything to the front of a white A2 top folding card base.  To finish off the card I added a few Prima Say It In Crystals Zella Teal pieces.  I love the added sparkle from these crystals.

Thanks so much for joining me today!  I hope you enjoyed the card share.  All of the supplies used to create this card are listed and linked below in the supply list and can also be found at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  To see more card inspiration I encourage you to check out the Stamp Simply Blog.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Much love, hugs, and blessings,
Heidi

My Booth at Chapel Con 2018! Sharing Artwork and Jewelry

Hello everyone!  This past weekend I set up a booth at Chapel Con to sell some of my artwork and jewelry.  This event is held in my hometown.  It's also the largest event I have ever set up at -- 2 arenas filled (100+ booths) with actors, cosplayers, vendors, artists, vehicles from movies/tv series, and food.  This was the 2nd year for Chapel Con and from what I heard from everyone it was even bigger and better than the first year.  There was a wonderful line up of actors including -- Ryan Hurst (Harold "Opie" Winston on Sons of Anarchy), Sam Jones (Flash Gordon), Kiowa Gordon (Embry Call in the Twilight Saga), Joshua Mikel (Jared on Walking Dead), RJ Mitte ( Walter White Jr in Breaking Bad), Aaron Schwartz (Heavyweights, The Mighty Ducks, Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2), Jayson Warner Smith (Gavin on Walking Dead), and Charles Wright (WWE Hall of Fame).  Another fantastic line up of cosplayers including -- Superkayce, Oh My Sophii! (She bought a piece of my art work!), Knightmage, Sirynrae, Hannah Eva, and Aradia Tombes.  

We started setting up the booth on Thursday and finished up early Saturday morning before the show opened.  The weekend before the event was my family reunion and several family members asked if I would post pictures of my booth, artwork, and jewelry.  These are a few of the pictures and I will be sharing more closeups over the next week or so and including more details about the pieces.  The artwork includes fluid acrylic painting, resin art, alcohol ink/foiling and resin art, alcohol ink and resin art.  I also had a table for my handmade jewelry.


Here is a look at the inside of the booth with artwork.  Just as a reminder you can click on all of the images to enlarge them and be able to see more details.


"80's Rock On"
16 x 20 canvas
This is one of my favorite pieces.  This is a fluid acrylic painting with a top coat of resin.

This piece has a glazed top coat.

Alcohol ink with gold foiling and a top coat of resin.


8 x 8 gallery wood panel
Alcohol ink with gold foiling and a top coat of resin. This piece also includes a resin mermaid and is embellished with crystals, sea glass, shells, confetti, and glitter for lots of texture, shimmer and sparkle.  This is another favorite piece of mine.


These are a couple sets of coasters.  Alcohol inks, resin, and gold gilding flakes were used to create these.  The coasters measure 4 x 4.  They protect the surface of your furniture and look beautiful at the same time.


8 x 8 gallery wood panel
Alcohol ink with gold foiling and a top coat of resin.


This is the Blue Paradise Geode and Resin Canvas with Art Resin that I posted a couple weeks ago.  If you missed the post you can click HERE to see more pictures and find out all of the details.


This is a mermaid jewelry tray.  The tray and mermaid are both metal with a bronze finish and the mermaid has a patina finish.  Crystals, sea glass, shells, confetti, glitter, and sand were added to the resin to create this beautiful piece.

This is another fluid acrylic painting.  
This piece has a glazed top coat.


This is a screen door that we painted and added decorative legs to for a display piece.  A huge thanks to my oldest son, Dusty for all his help in getting some of my display pieces ready for the show!  All of the pieces shown are fluid acrylic paintings with a glaze top coat.


Sorry, I can't remember what size this canvas is!
This is called a "tree ring" pour.  It's a fluid acrylic paintings with a glaze top coat.


16 x 20 canvas

This is a picture on the outside of the booth looking in.


"Mermaid in the Sparkling Sea"
16 x 20 canvas
This is a fluid acrylic painting with a couple layers of resin.  The mermaid is a very light weight wood piece I painted black and adhered to the canvas.  Then in the bottom right corner and going up the side I added crystals, sea glass, shells, confetti, and glitter.  There is also glitter sprinkled throughout the piece for added sparkle and shimmer and then a top coat of resin on the entire piece.


Here is a picture of my jewelry display.


One more picture of the jewelry table.

There is a lot of work that goes into preparing for an event like this.  The past few months our house has been taken over by artwork.  Every flat surface was used for drying artwork lol.  A HUGE HUGE thanks and shout out to my husband, Eric and boys, Dusty and Evan for being so supportive of my creative journey throughout the years and especially during the crazy creative chaos of getting ready for a show!!!  If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be able to do what I do.

Like I said I will be sharing more pictures over the next week or so of artwork and jewelry along with more details about the pieces.

These are some of the products used the create the art pieces.

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Blessed to be Your Friend Card

Hello everyone!  Today, I have a CAS (Clean And Simple) card to share with you using some of the beautiful papers from the Kaisercraft Miss Betty Collection.  


Check out these papers!  They are so pretty and layer together perfectly.  I used a couple pieces of the pattern paper and layered them onto the card front.  Then I added some of the die cuts from the Kaisercraft Collectables Miss Betty collection.  I added Foam Tape in between the layers to add some dimension.  Then I added a few Petaloo Botanica Collection Pink Minis and Prima Say It In Crystals Heaven Sent and the card was pretty much finished.  Totally CAS!  It's always so nice to work with a paper collection and the die cuts and be able to create a quick card when needed.


Here is a close up of the sentiment and embellishments.  I love all of the sparkle from the crystals!


The card base is a white A2 top folding card.

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Cottage Rose Happy Birthday Card CAS

Hello everyone!  Today I have a CAS (Clean and Simple) card to share with you using some of the beautiful papers from the Kaisercraft Cottage Rose collection and one of the sentiments from the Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - All Occasions Sentiments SET 1.


I truly believe having beautiful papers to work with is one of the keys to CAS cards.  It just makes it so much easier.  I used three of the pattern papers from the collection and layered them.  Then I took a strip of black cardstock and stamped one of the sentiments from the Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - All Occasions Sentiments SET 1 with VersaMark.  I heat embossed it using  Ranger Super Fine Embossing Powder - White.  I added some Foam Tape behind the sentiment to pop it up.


I tied a bow onto the end of the sentiment strip with some Baby Pink Seam Binding and added a Prima Shabby Chic Treasures - Tassel.  To finish off the card I added a few Prima Say It In Crystals Heaven Sent and Petaloo Botanica Collection Pink Minis.


The card base is a black A2 top folding card.  Thanks so much for joining me today!  I hope you enjoyed this CAS card.  All of the supplies used are listed and linked below and can be found at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  If you would like to see more card inspiration please be sure to check out the Stamp Simply Blog.

Love, hugs, and blessings,
Heidi
