Savvy Projects Technique Blog Hop- Stamping on Fabric

Hello and Happy Friday! I hope that you are having a wonderful day today. It is time for another Savvy Projects Blog Hop!! This month it is a technique hop, and we are featuring Stamping on Fabric!! I have never actually done this before, always meant to, but never got around to it. It's always good to try new things!!

I found these muslin(sorry I thought they were muslin, but no!) canvas artist trading cards in my stash of stuff and thought that would be a good place to start. I stamped off a few different images to work with using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. When you stamp on fabric it is a much softer line, the ink just is not as bold. I knew that you could use colored pencils on the muslin, but I wanted a bolder look so I went for my Copics. After experimenting on one of my images I realized that you need to use a very soft hand, and it is better to let your ink dry between colors. Also I liked it better when I started with the softest color, completely covering the area I was coloring, then adding my darker color for shading and then the medium color over the top of that. I hope that makes some kind of sense. For this card I used Be Fabulous, Wonderful Words, Hemingway ribbon, SWIC, and card stock collections. Originally I was going to stamp the sentiment on the fabric, but I knew it wouldn't be as bold as I wanted it, so I just added another layer!

This next card is my favorite and uses Music Washes, Amberley Grace SWIC, Amberley Grace, Hemingway, and Mimi card stock collections. I also used some wonderful old sheet music that one of my sweet hostess girls gave me, Thank You Kara!

Happy Leaf

Today on the Savvy Projects Blog, the Design Team has an amazing collection of cards to share with you, using the August Card Club Rewards set Happy Leaf. You have got to go and see these cards, so many different points of view and just beautiful art work!! This is the first card I made with this set, I used Miss Moxie paper collection, so bright and happy. This is a "scrap" card, I used all the little pieces that were on my desk left over from something else. Love to do that, it's like putting a puzzle together.

Then I made a trio of cards, using the same background. I used Versa Mark and clear embossing powder on all but one leaf, on Kraft card stock for my background paper. The sentiment from One Of a Kind. I really love Kraft card stock.

Then I had this idea, with the same background. That beautiful sentiment is on of TAC's new gift with purchase stamps!!

Then I made this one. All of these cards are quick and simple to make, the last three would be great for a man or woman! This is a very fun set of stamps, and very versatile too. Please check out the Savvy Projects Blog you will not be sorry that you did!! It always amazes me what each designer does with the same set, completely wonderful and inspiring!!!

Hope that your day is full of blessings! Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July!!

How about some awesome ideas for Christmas! All this week over on the Savvy Projects blog, we will be focusing on ideas and projects for the holiday season!  So will I, each day I will have a new project featured here to (hopefully) inspire you to get a head start on your holiday projects! I know it is only July, and it's like 100 degrees out side, but if we get a head start our projects could be done and we could enjoy the Christmas season without a crafting frenzy at the last minute. What!? I can't be the only one who does that... am I??

I took up a challenge by another Angel to use papers that were not "Christmas" paper, to create for Christmas. We have so many beautiful paper collections to choose from at The Angel Company that it really wasn't hard to do. I found that there is at least one sheet in most of our "Soar with it Collections" (SWIC) that could work for Christmas projects. And often there were two or more sheets that would work!!
The first card (above), was created using the Maggie SWIC and Amberly card stock collection., This light blue paper from Maggie, looks so cool and wintery to me. I tried for a "traditional" Christmas look for these cards today. I will share some nontraditional color combos later in the week.

 

This next card couldn't be more traditional in color, but this paper is from Mia's Cottage SWIC and card stock collection, paired with scarlet card stock! Polka dots are from Background Soup and embossed in white. This sentiment was computer generated, sorry,  I just wanted that saying so badly for this card, and couldn't let it go. :) 

Along with my papers, I also used stamps on both cards that are not from Christmas sets. The first card used the sweet angel from Fairytale Fun, but the sentiment is from Hung on a Tree, a Christmas set. This second card used Mice Day.

I will be adding something here everyday this week, lots of ideas for Christmas I just couldn't stop! I hope that you will stop in again . Also please be sure to check out the Savvy Projects blog all week for Christmas in July and see something new each day to inspire you!!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a delightful day!! :)
