Stencils on Canvas!

I have a few more things I want to post for stencils. Here is another project with stencils. This was a canvas class that I taught on Saturday! We used the Kind Thoughts stencil on each canvas. They all turned out just a bit different... unique, is probably a better word. Here is Max. I did, of course, do a canvas for Erich but I was able to take a better picture of this one. I used Chocolate Chip DSP and acrylic paint. I cut the letter "M" with my Big Shot. I tied Twill Tape around the picture as well! WOO HOO! It looks so good on my walls! I know it looks crooked but I had to take it at a funky angle so I didn't get the "Flash Glare". LOL

Next, we have one that Erin did. She used Bella Rose DSP on both of her canvases. She used "Laughter & Love" Rub-ons. She also used Pink Pirouette Ribbon and cut her letters on the Big Shot. We also did a little bit of "hiding" on Erin's canvas. Her stenciling wasn't quite done when she sealed her canvas so it smudged a little. We hid it completely with a Flower Fusion flower and half-back pearl! It is so elegant! Both of Erin's canvases were stunning and looked unbelievable when held up next to each other!


Finally, we have a canvas that Donna did. She used Old Olive DSP, Chocolate Chip Ribbon, cut her letters on the Big Shot, she used "Love and Laughter" and "Chateau Bella" Rub ons and stenciled too! WOW! This picture does not do this canvas jealous. Donna actually made three different canvases but tied them all together with Chocolate Chip ribbon and the More Mustard Lettering. When we laid them side by side, it was a stunning display!

Yes, More Stencils

So here's a page I haven't even thought of finishing yet... do you know why? Because it so SOOOOOOOOOO Beautiful as is!! WOWSERS! I know what I want to do with it but I wanted to show you the page as is, nekkid. This is the Parisian Damask Stencil from Stampin' Up! (of course). Now, I used sponge daubers and Chocolate Chip craft ink. I pounced lightly on the main image then went back and pounced harder on the "accents". This page is Pink Pirouette.

I can't wait to finish this page! I won't be able to even work on it until at least Friday of this week or even next week. I have lots coming up!

Stenciling an album!

Remember how I said that stenciling is addicting... well, I didn't stop at a scrapbook page! I wanted to decorate an album.

I used the Kind Thoughts "small" stencil. I also used Chocolate Chip Craft ink, stencil gold creme paint, sponge daubers and a stencil brush. I went to town on this album. I really loved how this turned out. Now this album isn't finished! My plan is to add a few more embellishments like half-back pearls and other lovely things! I will post this album again... when it's all done.

Stencils will be my focus this week!

So, I have been playing with the Stencils that Stampin' Up! has come out with. I wanted to share just a few of the fabulous things I have done with it! Once I started, I couldn't stop! It's quite addicting. So, now I am going to have all the stencils and I probably will NOT paint with them! LOL. I know that the intent is to paint your walls but....

I have just recently formed my first Scrapbook Club and I am so excited!! I have been wanting to scrapbook and every workshop that I have done, I have been asking for members. Well, now that's a reality! WOO HOO!! Now this is NOT the page they are going to do but it is a page that I love!! It is so simple but is so very beautiful. The page they will do will have stenciling on it! *wink*

Now I swear this layout is a 12 x 12! I had to take the picture at a weird angle so that it would have a HUGE flash spot on one of my nephew's children! Sorry about that.

A Trip Down Fifth Avenue

Here is the second in the "Trip" series. This is "A Trip Down Fifth Avenue." This class makes an unbelievable box with 4 stunning cards. Pictured is the box front.

There are two options for you: the tutorial is only $7.95 - or the kit (paper and accessories needed to make the box comes cut and ready to go) for $15.95!! See my webpage: http://www.mamaschroeg.com/pages/tutorials/Fifth%20Avenue/fifth_ave.html

Coming soon is: A Trip to the Art Gallery! You don't want to miss this class either! It is stunning!!

Swaps

I like swaps but they are a lot of work. I was involved in a swap recently for the Mini Occasions catalog. Have you seen those stamp sets yet?? OMG! They are lick-o-licious! Anyway, I like to be different. *laughing*... I think anyone that knows me, knows that I am different, to say the least... I would go so far as to say CRAZY, Fun-loving, etc!

I am not sure what other swaps I am going to get but I wanted to show off mine ;) I wanted to make a "wedding card" out of the Oval All Stamp Set!

What do you think? Do you like it? There are parts of it that I am not sure about...

Clearly Thanks Box

This box was made with the Movers and Shapers: Curly Labels Die for the Big Shot. I also used the Stampin' Up! Texture Plates on the front of the box afterward. It gives it just that little bit of UMPH! I thought it needed. I used the Clearly Thanks Window Sheets too! This box is so versatile. You can fill it with candy! You can put a jewelry gift inside... What can I say? I am PMS'ing and those are things that make me happy! LOL!!

Have you tried the Big Shot yet? I use mine almost every single day! The only other tool that I use more has to be my Stampin' Up! Tabletop cutter! LOL. How else would I get the paper into the Big Shot if I didn't cut it!

It's been a while since I posted!

While I have been busy, it's still no excuse for me to NOT post to my blog. Things have been happy crazy around here! I have been playing with a lot of new products from the Mini Occasions Catalog. Have you seen the new stamp sets! OH SO PRETTY!

Here, I have a card that I made with the new Window Sheets! Clearly Thanks is the name of the pre-printed window sheets. They make super-fast and super-cute cards!

Believe it or not, there is NO adhesive on this card except the Dimensionals holding the sentiment on the card! I held the window sheet on to the card with the brads and the ribbon! Cool huh?

Tomorrow I will post another project done with window sheets. Plus, I have some stencils to show you! WOO HOO! It's going to be a great blogging week here in Mama Schroeg-ville! LOL!
