Mini Project using Heart Shape Canvas

-

I am still recovering from an awesome craft retreat I attended with the wonderful Julie from Scrap of Your Life and my amazing friends. Busy weekend, with lots of fun and laughter and a awesome Mexican Themed Saturday night dinner, photo booth and dress up!

Over the weekend I made these cute little hearts using the Do Crafts Bare Basics Heart Canvas shapes and adding Art by Marlene elements either with glue or dimensional and sticker quotes which I cut around.

Each canvas was painted on the sides with Distress Ink Antique Bronze and Tarnished Brass. I then added Nuvo Mousse in Old Navy and Burnished Bronze using a flower stencil and spritzing some Distress Ink in Vintage White.

They turned out super cute and now can be easily added to any project.




You can find all the products from Scrap of Your Life and if you can't find what you need, message Julie and she will source it in!

Happy Crafting

Welcome to Mishka's Crafty Creations

Hello, welcome to Mishka's Crafty Creations Blog, where I hope to be able to inspire you with my creations so you can come along with me on my journey! I am super excited to be part of  Scrap Of Your Life  Design Team, a very first for me, so I am a little nervous, however I am looking forward to the next 6 months and the exciting projects and inspiration I can bring to you. A little about me.....I have been crafting since I was around 18 years old (a long time ago) or thereabouts, and not always with paper crafts. I actually started cross-stitching, which then lead me into making teddy bears with embroidery on them. From here I moved into paper crafts, being introduced to Crafty Kids at the time and absolutely loved what they offered. I then met some wonderful, creative people along the way attending various craft workshops and enjoyed being with like minded people and creating to our hearts content. I have developed some wonderful friendships along the way, and created many vario

Halloween Tags and Cards

Halloween! Spooky and scary.........unfortunately not something I am greatly into, although I have to say I did enjoy making these tags and cards using the awesome Simple Stories Say Cheese Halloween 12x12 paper and the the cute Hey Pumpkin Stickers. I created the tags first using Dylusions ready made tags in Black and chose a background for one from the Simple Stories sheet and the other I used a square stencil and used my orange blush nuvo mousse and created a raised bakcground at the top and bottom of the tag. They are so easy and simple to make, just using the papers, adding dimensional under the Boo Eek wording, tying some black and orange twine, adding glitter with glue and a little bit of Dylusions white spray set it off, then I added some of the stickers. The second tag, I used the same colour nuvo mousse with a splatter stencil and added that at the top and a little at the bottom, some Halloween washi tape and the skeleton acetate.   For the cards, I used some colourful brads

Polystyrene circle base and Lemon Craft Silence Papers

When I was sent this polystyrene circle base, at first I thought, "what does Julie expect me to do with this", so a little treat of white chocolate put me in a head space to create a picture perfect scenery using the Lemon Craft Silence paper collection, which is just so pretty. This project required some fussy cutting, and you know I am not a huge fan of fussy cutting, although my patience with this didn't wear thin, and I actually enjoyed it, maybe it was the combination of pretty papers, coffee and yes, as mentioned the white chocolate :-)  Firstly I started by tracing the circle base on one of the papers that already had a slight pink tinge through it, and then added more pink using the Tim Holtz spun sugar distress ink, this really made the paper pop. Once that was done, I added a strip of paper on the bottom of the base to add some colour. I then added some Webster fabric ribbon found in my stash that was just perfect for this project. I added a strip at the top of
