make a wish - Tusia Lech

Hello bloggers :)

Here is Tusia Lech today with colorful, spring layout and short step-by-step, how I altered Make a Wish Pocket Chip. 

At first I trimmed the photo, so it fits the pocket chip.

Then I applied white Chalk Ink, to make the whole chip lighter.

Then I used black Artist Pitt Pen from Faber-Castel to highlight the edges.

Next step was applying some Finnabair white gesso on the edges, highlighting the arrows with Ranger Stickles Glitter Glue and adding some dots at the bottom of the chip with Ranger Liquid Pearls.

As you can see on the photo, I decided also to work with Finnabair microbeads and to fill the word "wish" with them. 

Here is final effect:

Happy Birthday Tag with Jen

Hi artsy friends!  Today is a fantastic day here in my neck of the woods and it is my 40th birthday!!  So, for my project, I made a birthday tag to share with you all...  I have many friends that have birthdays in August too.  Every birthday is a time to celebrate! 

"Make a Wish Tag"

 I got my hands on some of the brand new UmWowStudio Sequin Confetti and knew I had to do something fun with them! I love the color of UmWowStudio's chipboard so I didn't want to color them but I did mix them with bright colored plastic sequins too.  I also turned one of the Layered  Clouds into a cupcake top!  The Make a Wish Pocket Chip was perfect for this tag with it's adorable size and punched out words and chevron. 

 I did color the background tag with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Gelatos® in Mango, Bubble Gum, Tangerine, Lemon, Raspberry, Blueberry, Lime, Snow Cone, Gold Champagne, and Iced Chai. 

Using Faber-Castell Design Memory Crafts Textural Accents Whipped Spackle, I put it through a Circle Confetti Stencil to create depth and texture.   Those drips and splatters made it even more of a celebration!  I did paint the Make a Wish Pocket Chip with watered down Gesso before splattering with cool colored Gelatos.

 The cupcake wrapper was stamped on patterned paper and the Layered Cloud was covered with WOW Embossing powder in Vodka Sparkle. 

 A flair button was added too for another circle accent along with the confetti and doily.

I finished the tag off with ribbon and some Chevron Confetti.  This is a festive way to adorn a gift, bottle of wine or attached to some flowers!

Hello, Manda here again today with another travel layout. I have been going through my old photos and trying to sort out an album about my trip to Europe almost 10 years ago. I am really loving looking back at all the wonderful places I went and hope to see some of them again one day. 

This layout is about a view from a hill where I went on a picnic so the page absolutely needed journalling so I could remember why I had this picture (I do not do a lot of journaling in general but I am trying to add more especially to older pictures.) I wanted to frame my photo and I love the little Make A Wish Pocket Chip frame but it was too small and the wrong shape for my photo but I wasn't going to let that stop me so I carefully cut each corner with my exacto knife. The great thing about the chipboard pieces is that if you want to cut them it is very easy even though the pieces are very strong.

To keep with the travel theme I used one of the Oh The Places You'll Go flair which I have been using right through my Europe pages. I journaled directly onto the page and because the background paper is rather busy I need to draw attention to it so I took a piece of the Arrow Title Mash to draw attention to it. I didn't alter the chipboard in any way because I liked how it drew the colours of the little village out of the photo. 

Thanks so much for visiting today, hope you have a great week.

Hello :)

Here is Tusia today with a simple layout. A photo, which I used for this layout, waited for 2 years, to be used :) But I wanted to give it great setting and I just waited for some vein :)

On the photo below you can see UWS chipboard with heart - I would like to share with you the way, I altered it. I have used Ranger Stick it embossing powder - so firstly I used embossing ink. Then I sprinkled this special embossing powder, which once heated, becomes very sticky, so I could sprinkle the whole piece with dry glitter and it immediately adhered. It shimmers so the camera cannot focus in it :)

Below you see gorgeous May Arts black ribbon and Make a Wish flair from UWS.

As you probably noticed, I covered also a photo frame with embossing powder. This chipboard piece comes from Make A Wish Pocket chip set and I covered it with two different embossing powders - Zing blue and Lindy's Stamp Gang Azure Blue. I left some areas untouched, because I wanted to achieve more grungy look.

One more idea for altering UmWowStudio chipboards - Love This Arrow Title chip was covered firstly with Faber-Castell Stamper's Big White Pen, which is definitely more comfortable than using white gesso. Than I created some watercolor effect using Blue Faber-Castell Pen.

Thank you for visiting UmWowStudio blog today :)

Hugs,

Tusia

Make A Wish {12x12 by Kylie Drake}

It's Creative Team Wednesday and I've got Kylie stopping by today with her totally knockout style!

Kylie says "UmWowStudio chipboard lends itself so well to Fall pictures and I have a stack of family pics from last year that I need to scrap. I wanted to use my embellishments to highlight my sister's relationship with her son and I think the Make-a-Wish flair and the combination of the Heart Hands and layered chip do this wonderfully. I love using embellishments to tell a story. 

Supplies list: UmWowStudio layered clouds, layered hearts, potty people, layered circles, star confetti and heart hands chipboard. UmWowStudio Make a Wish flair. 

Maya Rd kraft envelope, Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type stickers, gloosy accents, Bazzil cardstock, American Crafts and Kaisercraft papers."

I don't think I can say enough how proud I am of the creative team --- each and every week I'm so pumped to share their work, and it's all SO DIFFERENT! Kylie's style has always been so graphically stunning. I'm honored to share her work using our chipboard :) Leave her some love!!
