Incredible Egg Fun!

I love eggs…I clean the shells out if I am going to use them for baking or scrambling. I love the texture. I decided to create something a little different, a box made from an egg. I had to cut it in half it was fairly easy with a rotary grinder and a cut off wheel. I then used several of the products from AlteredPages including a Mailbox Muse stamp set.

Please let me know what you think of my crazy creation.

Supplies:
Egg Shell
Wood furniture biscuit from home improvement store
Muse Dragonfly Stamp
StazOn Jet Black Ink Pad
Trim  or Fiber 
German Scrap 
Glass Glitter 
Aileen’s Tacky Glue

Merry Altered Christmas Jean!

I loved crafting a special item for Jean Moore the wonderful energy filled force behind AlteredPages! Jean is filled with so much positive ideas for women. She knows how far we have come and that this is really only the beginning. I used one of altered pages collage sheets to show a young female factory worker in the sweat shop pausing for a moment to reflect on the Dream! I hope that we all continue the journey and pursue our dreams of equality, equal pay and enjoyment of many of the rights that our ancestors fought  for women.

 

I used chipboard for my base. I coated it with white gesso from AlteredPages. I used a stamp from one of the Box o' Rubber from AlteredPages. I also used the Antique Sewing collage sheet from AP. I used my on hand eBrush to do the red tint and the oversprayed it with the black marker. I used an on hand wand stamp. The glitter effect was created by using some glitter mixed with Art Anthology Crystals from AlteredPages. I used another on hand stamp for the word dream but used my Delicata silver stamp pad and also my favorite StazOn jet black ink pad! I used an on hand adhesive for all. I then coated with a layer of Crystal Lacquer waiting tilll it thicken and drawing my brush through it for brush strokes!I added some gel pen color to make the focal areas of interest as well.

I love the cool products that AlteredPages carries. The products make my expression of art so much fun!

Jean thank you so much for all and I hope that you enjoy your book!

Apologies to all my posts didn't upload  for some reason only the fourth of July card....I can't seem to get it to work....

For my Hop post I created a Fourth of July card. I love my eBosser, eBrush and Xyron adhesives! When I am creating with them all I consider it a triple threat!!!

I simply love creating with all of my great tools. I started with my eBosser and used one of the Spellbinders M-Bossabilities Embossing Folders to create the wonderful patterns on my stars! I actually embossed them first then used my eBosser to cut them out! I used a silver stamp pad to make the design pop!

Next I used Pearl Paper for the card.  I prepared it with a fun “4” stamped on it. Then I used my eBrush to embellish it further.

I wanted to apply the stars to my card and I love how my Xyron sticker maker handles any small piece that I put through it.

I used my smaller Xyron machine to make my Ribbon stick to my project too!

Then it was time to put it all together. I do love how my project came out. I hope you enjoyed my tutorial. Best of luck to you with this great hop!
