Prima Modeling Material

I have been having so much fun with the Prima Molds and Modeling Material.  I love being able to make the molds my self and then paint them to match my projects.  In this video I show you how I use the Modeling Material and also how I paint them.  I will be using they on my Mini Albums and other crafts that I make as well.  #michelesinkitstampit #itsallaboutthescrapbook

I bought all my supplies at It's All About The Scrapbook In Dixon, Ca.  They just got their new website up and going to be sure to check it out.
Here is just some of what we did.

This is my youngest grandchild after the video.  She decided that she wanted to paint too.  Love it when they join in.

My oldest granddaughter was journaling in her Mini Album at the table as well.

Fast Batik Card using CTMH C1607 Someone Special

I love Batik fabrics and when I saw this stamp set C1607 Someone Special I knew exactly what I would make with it.  It was a very fast and easy card to make.  I just stamped off the overlay flower and used the 2nd and 3rd generation on the card

I used Gold polka dot Washi tape and some bling.  I stamped the flower both the mat and the overlay on a separate piece of Daisy White along with the leaves then I just used thick 3D Foam Tape behind the flower and the thin behind the leaves.  I sponged around everything in Sunset.  Then stamped the sentiment and that was it.  I backed it with Black and then placed it on a Kraft card.  I put everything that I used in the picture.  Well I guess I forgot the paper trimmer!!!  But really that is it.  

Inks are

     Honey, Sunset, Olive, Black

ProPlayer Happy Birthday Boy Card

Here is a card that I made for my January Class.  We used the plop technique for adding the paint splatters.  I love this technique it is a fun project.  Just be sure to ware an apron just in case there is some back splash!  I placed a project bag under to protect my surface.

Layering done with Artbooking Z1906

I love the layered look!  So I had lots of fun designing this card. I realized that in putting my card together I forgot to stamp the image on the notebook piece.  I then cut up one of my photos to use behind the photo mat

Don't forget that when you want to cut something that is not for a scrapbook page or you want it to cut at a specific size you must use the real dial button.
