Smudgy Antics challenge "Alter Something"

2012-03-12T00:01:00.000+01:00

This weeks challenge at Smudgy Antics is about altering stuff, for the rulles check here.

I love altering stuff and I did another spoon for this challenge, first gonna show you some pics and thn tell you how I did it ;-)

First I made the skully, it is a digi from Smeared Ink, I printed it out 6 times, cut them out and used distress ink to age it. then I layerd the skulls using sillicone glue. On the top skull (I used the upper half only) I added Glossy crackle (love how that came out.
The spoon was bought at the thrift store, I paid 0,10 euro for it ;-). I picked out a vintage looking spoon, when I came home I cleaned it and put alcohol inks on it to age it. When the alcohol inks dried,I covered the whole spoon with glossy accents to protecd the alcohol ink. Put it aside to let it dry. Meanwhile I made a bow from black satin ribbon and attached some pearl beads to it. When the spoon dried completely I put the bow to the top of the handle and added a string of black pearl thread and a black silk rose. Glued another silk rose at the borrom of the handle and glued the skull in the spoon. That's it not to hard huh?

Can't wait to see what you will alter to join this weeks Smudgy Antics challenge.....

Annabel Lee

2012-02-12T21:50:00.000+01:00

FOR BLOODY VALENTINE DAY 3 SCROLL 1 POST DOWN

I made this card for the Annabel Lee Challenge at Quoth the Raven.

The poem insired me to make this

You can find the poem here

This is the angel that killed Annabel Lee, and she regrets killing a deep love beteen two happy people. She holds a feather of the raven in her hand. (I know there is no raven in the poem, but I thought it looked good in the pic.)
I tried to make the background look like the kingdom by the sea, and tried to make the chilling clouds, that killed Annabel Lee. Let me know what you think...

Bloody Valentine day 3

2012-02-12T01:33:00.000+01:00

This is the last day allready, time flies when you have fun....

Welcome to day 3 of the Bloody Valentine hop organized by Smeared Ink

the blog roll is on my side bar, please do visit all of the bloody bloggers, they are making awesome projects, and leave them some nice comments.

I got 3 thingies for this last day, and these are on their way to my SSV, hope she likes....

Again not bloody (somehow bloody doesn't work for me these past days, so sorry for that)

I made a cute little canvas, I put a thick layer gesso on it and made it sort of crackle, let it dry and then painted and as a finishing touch added some gold paint. Then I made the stamp on it and coverd it with clear embossing powder.

Because I liked the image of the stamp so much I decided to use this for another project, I've been altering domino's and I wondered if this would also work on Scrabble tiles, and it did....

and then I made this necklace

The other side of the tile has an initial on it so I can't show it. The box was inspired by Black Dragon's awesome bracelet boxes ( although this one is a lot smaller)

Hope you enjoyed day 3 of the Bloody Valentine bloghop, and hope to see you again at the Smeared Ink Forum or at the Smudgy Antics Challenges

Alice in Wonderland Curious Clock

2012-02-01T19:36:00.000+01:00

FOR DOMINO TUTORIAL SCROLL ONE POST DOWN, FOR SMUDGY ANTICS CHALLENGE SCROLL 2 POSTS DOWN

This is another Alice in Wonderland project, a Curious Clock.

It's sort of a shadowbox, the clock has 3 layers and was difficult to get a good pic of it, so I'm sorry for the bad pics

If you want to see a better pic, this clock was published in Craft Stamper Magazine (March 2012 issue)

The clock is a TH Die and the Alice stamps are from "de Stempelwinkel"

Tutorial altered dominoes and how to make a domino book

2012-02-01T00:01:00.001+01:00

Altered Dominoes and Domino book tutorial:

There are different ways to alter a domino, this is how I do it.

1) Altering domino using Alcohol Ink

What you need;

Dominoes, Alcohol Ink, Stazon and Modpodge or Glossy Accents

Cover the domino with alcohol ink and let dry a bit

Stamp image with Stazon, let dry and then cover with modpodge or glossy accents to give the dominoe a nice shine and to protect the image, let dry.

2) Another way to alter the domino is to stamp on a piece of paper and glue this on the domino.

This is what you need: glue, versamark , clear embossingpowder, heat gun and optional: stickles

Stamp the image on a piece of paper, cut to size, colour the image (I use colour pencils) and ink the edges. Glue the stamped piece of paper on the back of the domino.

Press the domino with the imageside in the Versamark and then cover with clear embossing powder, heat till it melts and let cool.

When the domino is coverd with embossing powder you can leave it that way or put some stickles round the edges (see left domino).

3) Altering dominoes using markers
What you need: permanent marker (I used black), Sakura Glaze pens, Modpodge or Glossy Accents.

Add sticker to domino and colour the domino on the ouside of the sticker using a black permanent marker. Colour the inside of the sticker using the Glaze pens. Let dry and then cover with Modpodge or Glossy Accents.

4) Making the domino book

You need 2 altered dominoes , 2 pieces of ribbon and a strip of paper (length you choose, height, measure the height of the domino)

Accordion fold the strip of paper (size of the fold should match the size of the domino), it should look like this:

Then glue a piece of ribbon to both of the dominoes like this:

The dominoes will be the covers of the book they come to each side of the accordion folded strip see pic below.(The pic shows the domino without the ribbon, but the ribbon should be attached to the domino before you attach the paper strip to the domino).

When you have glued the dominoes with the ribbon on each end of the strip of paper it,
should look like this.

Then fold the paper inside the 2 dominoes and tie a bow in both ribbons:

that's it, not to hard huh?

New addiction altering dominoes

2012-01-16T22:20:00.007+01:00

FOR THE NEW SMUDGY ANTICS CHALLENGE "MASKING" POST, SCROLL 1 POST DOWN

For the first quest on PoeQuoth the Raven blog the master asked for ravens, so here are some.

I made some domino jewelry, I coloured the dominoes with alcohol ink and stamped the ravens on them with Stazon let dry for a while and then covered them with Modge Podge for the glossy look and to protect the image.

The Box was painted gold and the lid has some faux metal on it (used TH embossing folder).

The dominoes have a metal hook on them so you can attache them to the ball chain , it's easy to open to attache all the different dominoes, they are made the same way, but have a skull stamp, keys stamp and a clock stamp, see pic below.

I will also enter these in the Haunted Design House Challenge chic Freaks, I think this jewelry is something a chic freak would wear.

Here is tag 13 of the 12 tags of christmas (naughty or nice) LOL

12 days of christmas day 10 and smudgy Antics challenge Gothic Christmas

2011-12-19T00:01:00.008+01:00

This weeks challenge at Smudgy Antics has a christmas theme so I can cheat a bit and use my DT project as my day 10 of the 12 days of Christmas also :-). Anyway the theme is Gothic Christmas or Wicked Santa or Wicked Christmas, I chose the Gothic theme.

Here is my card:

I used Watchful Eye again he is one of my favourite Smeared Ink digi's I coloured the little fellow using my good old colouring pencils and some glitter gel pens. Then put him on some christmas paper and to give it a Gothic feel I cut out a black candle using my Cricut machine (31 oct. cartridge)and added some metal corners,red glitter roses and some black leaves.

I think it turned out fine, and send this as my christmas card to friends of us(Ronald & Christa hope you like it).
I hope you will come and play with us at Smudgy Antics Challenge Blog this week, there are a lot of themes to choose from .......

The blog roll of the other jolly bloggers is in my side bar, go and check their awesome projects out, you will love it.

Today I made one of the 12 tags of christmas by Tim Holtz that I missed, this is my version of tag 9.

Because I don't have the dies Tim used for this tag I used my Cricut to cut the lantern (mini monsters card) and the letters (happy hauntings card, spooky font.

And I made a birthday card for Rianne, she turned 14 and loves fashion and sewing, so I made her this (happy birthday Rianne!)

Hope you enjoyed this ( very long) post and see you again for day 11 of the 12 days of christmas on dec. 21.

12 days and tags of christmas day 4, tag 6

2011-12-07T00:01:00.002+01:00

Here is my day 4 project for the 12 days of christmas and it's also my version of the 12 tags of christmas tag 6 by Tim Holtz.
I combined them that saves a lot of work ;-).

I didn't really like Tims day 6 tag (sorry Tim, guess you don't hear that a lot), so I changed it a bit (hope nobody get's shocked by this one) into a Smeared Ink christmas tag.

I liked the metal idea and the paint and the sanding too, so I kept that in and also added a metal embellishment. (It fits in this weeks Smudgy antics Challenge Steampunk on the darkside aswell)

Taadaa, here it is, let me know what you think :-)

This tag has a rubber band instead of a ribbon through the hole so I will enter it in the Junk Funk Challenge December at Smeared Ink forum (by the way, if you join any of the challenges in the challenger at Smeared Ink forum you will receive a free digi and ther are also prizes to be won)

Poe me challenge at Smudgy Antics

2011-11-21T00:01:00.001+01:00

This weeks challenge at Smudgy Antics is Poe me, check out the rules and the prize here

I'm not a Poe fan, so I searched the internet and found the poem "the Raven" and decided to use that for my project. Again I made an art journal page

I printed the poem twice, once on white paper and once on designer paper, cut out the raven (Cricut) and put the 2 pages together so you still will be able to read the poem. Printed out the Smeared Ink "dead dancer" digi cut it out and coloured it using colour pencils. I inked the raven with distress ink and added the title. Hope you like it.

to use the Raven I cut out I made another page

This time I picked one line out of the poem and made the page, the sweet little guy in the bird cage is a little creeper digi also from Smeared Ink

Hope you will join us at Smudgy Antics blog for the Poe Me challenge, see you there

This weeks challenge at Smudgy Antics : Dear Heart

2011-11-16T21:24:00.001+01:00

There are a few changes in rules for the Smudgy Antics challenges:

*Your project can be anything (card, scrapbook page, mixed media, altered or 3-D item, etc) as long as it is handmade and stamped somewhere with either a rubber or digital stamp. We have taken into consideration our digital artist fans and will be allowing all-digi projects. Feel free to think outside the box and have fun with your project! We are all about looking at things differently and look forward to the variety of projects and mediums we are sure to see.

*~~You must use AT LEAST 1 Smeared Ink image on your project. You are allowed to use anything else that you like.~~
*This rule has changed. To encourage more participants, any stamped image may be used, however only projects using at least one Smeared Ink image will be eligible to win a prize. Encourage your crafty friends to come play with us.

*You can only enter and qualify for a prize if you are, or become, a follower of the blog.

This weeks challenge is "Dear Heart"

And here is my entry,I made a page in my Art Journal, I used the bat wings of the Smeared Inks digi "a little bit batty". The heart is a Double Do die and it is embossed using Cuttle Bug embossing folder.

I made the background with a magic stamp, it's a foam block you heat with heatgun and then press into anything you want to make a stamp of. I used the heart embossing folder to make a stamp and used that as my background.

here is a pic of the foam block

The fun thing s that you can re-use it, just heat again and the image disappears, heat and press in something else.

cool huh!

I was just playing with it and tried it out in my Art Journal, it is just a quick and easy page but it was fun to make it. That is the main thing, having fun so some and join this weeks challenge

I can do cute........

2011-11-13T22:20:00.000+01:00

I coloured the birdies using my pencils. I hope my gran likes it

Smudgy Antic Challenge Alter Something

2011-11-07T00:02:00.001+01:00

This weeks challenge at Smudgy Antic is Alter Something.

I've got 2 projects for you, the first one is this,

before:

It's a can that used to have peanuts in it, now it's on my desk holding my pencils. Though it had a nice image on it, it was time for change...

here is the after pic.:

I coverd the tin using designer paper and then added the Grumpie, he is a Smeared Ink Digi and I love him.

I coloured Grumpie with my pencils (what else...) The word "pencils" is made using a cuttle kids alphabet.

here some more pics

and now my second project:

here is the before pic

I don't wear these earings because they are so heavy, so I took the middle metal ring with the beads off to lose some weight. Then I added something, see the after pic below

I printed the smeared Ink digi Creepers toy on designer paper twice, and took of the head with a circle punch. Punched another circle out of the designer paper and glued it to the back of the Creepers circle. Than laminated the circles and attached to the earings.

My daughter loved them and she is going to wear them today :-)

See how easy it is to alter something, hope you will enter the callenge at Smudgy Antics blog

31 days of halloween blog(s)hop #28

2011-10-28T00:01:00.000+02:00

Before you read this Day 28 post I will have to warn you, it is a long post and there are many pics, but I hope you think it's worth reading it. Enjoy...

A special offer for you. Today only in my 31 Days of Halloween Shop of Horrors.

It's is something you all want and something you all need but, there is only ONE in stock.

So here is comes (drum roll).........

It's a box, painted with crackle paint in the colours: Blood Red and Death Black. On the lid of the box is a beautiful bat decoration.
But it's not just a box........

It is............

A VAMPIRE SLAYING KIT.

"Do I need this?" I hear you say.
Well better safe than sorry.....(don't say I didn't warn you)

What is inside this beautiful decorated wooden box? Please take a look inside

Okay a closer look

Inside this fabulous box is everything you need to determine and slay a vampire. Van Helsing used one of these.

Let's take a closer look at the content, first there is this:

A book that tells you everything you need to know about Vampire Slaying.

And there are other things you will need, such as:

A mirror (just to make sure your victim really is a vampire, we don't want to slay innocent people do we?).

A silver bullet (no gun included) this bullet will kill vampires as well as werewolves.
A crucifix (you know how to use that, if you don't, the book explains it all).

Garlic and Holy Water

The only thing I couln't fit into the box is the wooden stake, but there's a clever solution to that. Instead of just one stake the Vapire Slaying kit contains the Bram Strokers Stake Maker:

With this super sharp knife you can make as many stakes as you like. The Vampire Slaying for Dummies book contains a clear manual(pictures included) how to make and use a stake.

This box that is super easy to: store, carry and use can be yours for the paltry sum of 31,13 Euro (shipment not included).

Okay you 31 Days of Halloween fans, this of course is my day 28 project and it is NOT for sale. Because fridays are Smeared Ink days I used all Smeared Ink digis (a little bit batty).

The box was painted red first and then I used crackle medium and added the black. The Smeared Ink Digi Bat on the lid of the box was coloured red using distress ink. Then I put Versamark ink on top of the bat and clear embossing powder (melted it with heatgun). I added 3 layers of embossing powder and put the embossed bat image in the freezer (yes I mean that thing in your kitchen that makes ice) for 10 minutes. Get it out of the freezer and crack the bat the way you want.
See this pic for the after result:

Then you get a distress ink pad (I used walnut stain) and rub over the cracked bat (don't worry if it's going to look terrible messy) let dry a bit and rub the ink off the bat using a babywipe. (repeat the freezer and inking thing till you have the result you want). Glue the bat on the lid.
The iside of the box is coated with snake skin designer paper.

The little book is a maze book, made of 1 12x12 piece of designer paper (google " how to make a maze book" and you will find instuctions). The cover is the same paper as inside the box, the book is closed with a piece of lace ribbon (so this project will fit the Leather and Lace challenge at Smudgy Antics)

The little bottle of holy water is a small wine bottle, I made the label on it and filled the bottle with tap water. The Garlic jar already had this label on it (in fact it was the label that inspired me to make this project, LOL). I just added the bat and the "Anti Vampire" to the label.

The knife is my craft knife I just added the bat.

The mirror is my make up mirror and the bullet was a keychain hanger(It's my son's I had to give it back to him).

Sorry for the long, pic heavy post, but I hope you liked it, please visit the other Wicked bloggers and join the challenge at Smudgy Antics.

See you tomorrow for a much shorter day 29 ( I promise)

Weekly challenge at Smudgy Antics and 31 days of Halloween DAY 10

2011-10-10T00:01:00.001+02:00

My project for the Smudgy Antics Challenge Black Birds. Not Halloween themed.

I used the Smeared Ink digi Blue Birdrider and the dead dancer fallen digi to put on the cover of an altered notebook.

I took a blanc note book like this

first take the front and the back cover out of the wire

Put designer paper on the front and the back cover, and punch the holes. I embossed gold coloured cardstock using the cuttlebug and glued it to the front of the book.

printed the digi's and coloured them using Letraset Aquamarkers and cut them out. I turned the dead dancer upsidedown so she would fit in the claw of the bluebird rider (I made an almost blackbird of him to fit the challenge, didn't want to make him to dark so added some purple and dark blue)and attached both digi's to the embossed cardstock.

Hope you will join us for the challenge here

And then day 10 of the 31 days of Halloween sponsored by Smeared Ink

A trick or treat bag, The pumkin is from the Happy Haunting Cricut cartridge and the Bats and the Trick or Treat are foam stamps (I think Making Memories).

2011-10-08T00:01:00.004+02:00

Just a quick post today here's my post for day 8 of the 31 days of Halloween

The spider, the webb and the eek! are foam stamps and the glas jar is a rubber stamp, the circle with spider is a clear stamp. The jar is coloured using Letraset Aquamarkers.

Thought it would be fun not to use typical Halloween colours.

see you again on day 9 ;-)

31 days of Halloween DAY 7

2011-10-07T00:01:00.000+02:00

Day 7 of 31 days of halloween hosted by Smeared Ink.
To keep all my cards and atc's I made for the 31 days of halloween organized I made a binder. The binder was already black and I used my cricut to cut out the letters (Happy Hauntings cartridge, Vampire Font) and glued them on the front of the binder. The bats are from the Smeared Ink "a little bit batty" digi stamp set. I laminated the front cover to protect the letters and the bats.
Sorry for the bad pics, I had to use flash light.

here is the front cover:

and the inside

sorry can't show you the rest of the inside, there are the cards and atc's that I have to post for rest of the 31 days :-)

Thanks for all the nice comments and I hope you will check out the other wicked blogs (see side bar) to see the fab projects they all make and leave them a comment. Happy Hopping and see you again on day 8.....

Uitdaging Scrapfever ? Challenge Scrapfever

2011-09-19T16:44:00.001+02:00

Ik doe mee aan de uitdaging bij Scrapfever de uitdaging is:

“SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE”.
Het is de bedoeling dat je de items uit het rijmpje gebruikt op je layout :

Iets ouds: dit kan zowel het materiaal/embellies zijn maar ook de foto´s of het onderwerp op de foto.
Iets nieuws: idem
Iets geleends: dit zien we ruim en mag ook iets “gepikts” zijn zoals een (scrap)lift, “gestolen” tijd… we zijn heel benieuwd naar jullie creatieve oplossingen!
Iets blauws: spreekt voor zich….

Dit is mijn inzending:

Iets ouds: het papier
Iets nieuws: de pins, het bloemetje en het bedeltje van een hondebot.
Iets geleends: Baileys, de hond van de zus van de buurvrouw ;-)
Iets blauws: lijkt me duidelijk.....

I made this layout for the challenge at Scrapfever

“SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE”.

My something old : the design paper
Something new: the flower, the pins and the charm dogbone
Something borrowed : Baileys, he's the dog of my neighbours sister.
Something blue: thats obvious....

New Halloween hop and release from Smeared Ink

2011-09-15T12:07:00.004+02:00

Smeared Ink is releasing some more Halloween images! To celebrate, of course we have to have a new release blog hop!

this is my project:

It's a doorhanger, I used the bat stamp from the seared ink set A little bit batty and the digi stamp BEWARE from the new release Halloween set Build a Graveyard

I used a piece of cardboard and painted it blue and then put gesso over the blue paint. Glued a piece of aluminum foil on cardstock and embossed it. Used some black acrylic paint to give it a more metal look. Cut the digis out en coloured them, for the bat I used distress ink and for the Beware digi I used letraset aquamarkers. Put some rope on both ends and attached a chain to hang it.

I hope you've enjoyed taking a look at my project. Below is the blog roll for all of the participants this hop, so please hop through from blog to blog and leave them some comments about their work- we all love to hear what you think! Thanks for stopping by

Weekly Challenge at Smudgy Antics blog- Paint

PAINT

One of our favorite mediums! Splosh it, drip it, spread it around, or water it down...just use it and you're good to

If you want to play check the rules here

Here are my projects:

I used the Creepers Smeared Ink digi set I got stuck with this challenge so I made a card using the cuttlebug embosing folder and put some purple paint on it. Then I used my cricut to cut the apple. I wrote the sentiment on the apple.

But then I started to think about using the paint challenge to make little paintings. I printed the creepers (love them) on ATC size, used watercolor (just a cheap set that kids, use nothing special) and my waterpen to make these little paintings. I glued them to cardboard so the are a bit sturdier and put them on little easels.

Hope you join the http://smudgyantics.blogspot.com/2011/09/weekly-challenge-paint.html.

Pieces and Parts bloghop at Smeared and Smudged Blog

2011-09-08T07:00:00.004+02:00

Pieces and Parts bloghop at Smeared and Smudged Blog The theme this month is Pieces and Parts. Use at least two stamp or digi images combined to make a "new" image or focal point on your project. So, you can combine the top half of one stamp with the bottom of another, or add a part of one to another, or even build a background from several images, it's up to you! Use your imagination and have fun with it. We can't wait to see what you come up with! Also, don't forget the S&S rule that is has to be stamped somewhere (digi stamps are fine), which we're sure you won't miss with this month's theme. Here is my entry:

I used the Smeared Ink Digi Dead Dancer Falling. ,My Paperworld Viva Decor Clearstamp (the roses) and All Night Media rubber stamp 550j74 (the music notes). I printed the digi twice, once on cardstock and once on normal paper to use as a mask. I made an Oval using a colluzle plate( you will need both pieces the oval and the piece that you cut the oval from). I masked the digi and the part of the card where the music notes will be(using the outlining of the oval colluzzle cut ) and stamped the roses with the clear stamps. Leave the masks on the card and use Tim Holtz distress inks (peeled paint, dusty concord and tumbled glass) and color the roses. Then remove the masks and put the inside oval over the part with the roses and the digi. Then stamp the music notes with black stazon and remove the mask.

I hope you've enjoyed taking a look at my project. Below is the blog roll for all of the participants this month, so please hop through from blog to blog and leave them some comments about their work- we all love to hear what you think! Thanks for stopping by.

Up in Flames challenge part 2

2011-08-30T19:00:00.000+02:00

Here is another project I made for the Up in Flames Challenge at Smudgy Antics blog

I had this idea to make some sort of smashbook/ planner for the 31 days of Halloween 2011

The cover of the book has burned edges, I used brown cardstock with a leather look and inked it. Used stamps and gold embossing powder for the title. The bat on the cover and all the bats inside the book are from "a little bit batty" digi stampset by http://www.smearedink.com/.

The first page is a calender of october, where I can put all the project names and when the are posted on my blog, so that I can plan ahead.
The rest of the pages have the same lay-out (so I won't put pics in this post from every page but there is a link to photobucket below), I can make notes, make a shoppinglist for supplies needed for the project and on the blanc pages there will be a photo of the finished project. (I'm so organized LOL)

Hope you like it an will join the challenge at Smudgey Antics Blog
