In Christmas Baking DT Maja Design

 Welcome Maja friends!

Have you seen the latest Maja Design collection by name 'Traditional Christmas' ?!

Great classical christmas colours, green and red, plaid, dotted ... which gave me the idea to create a cheerful canvas as a kitchen picture.

We love baking cookies with the kids in the run-up to christmas. it always takes a little longer and the kitchen is unrecognizable afterwards, but it's always a lot of fun. 

 

 



 

more details and useful tips can you find here

Desk Organizer - Stamperia Sea World

 Welcome!

 

 Our Winter Special at SanDee&amelie's challenge blog  challenge is, 

as usual... 

 

I was inspired to create a desk organizer in steampunk style.

 

Tips and Tricks

 

I used air drying modelling clay

in order to be able to press the mass well into your shape 

I like to use cake modelling tools



if the out cast has not yet dried properly,

 it can still be easily bent around corners

Witching Hour in Haunted Castle

 Hello creative friends!

 

I was thrilled as I discover the Haunted Castle Shrine at Calico Craft Parts, great, 

it looks like an enchanted castle, right?! and remind me on Disney film stories.

At first I was not sure how I wanted to design the interior, then these old grandfather clocks 

came into my mind and I decided to hang a clock pendulum inside.

 

 

 Tips & Tricks


first I drilled a hole in the middle of the upper part, then I connected the border 

with the spider's web with the help of a small metal ring (from jewelry making),

 the upper part of the oak vine was pushed through the opening and fixed with 

another small wooden part,
now the pendulum was free to move

from my own experience I can now report that the oak vine

 is too delicate for the constant Tick Tack , Tick Tack ๐Ÿ˜of the clock pendulum, 

from experience one becomes wise, right?! 


for the clock pendulum I used the following parts:

Spider Web Flourish

Oak Leaves and Acorns Border

completed with  

Winged Devil

 Creatures of the Night - Sheet of Halloween Mini Wood Shapes

 

base - before coloring and designing

pendulum swings - tick tack, tick tack

Happy Halloween!

Company Berti Batman

Welcome!

Our October challenge is, as usual...

 We welcome all types of projects (except digitally created) and encourage everyone to join us each month, whether this is your very first make, or you are an experienced maker, and share your creations. Show us your tags, cards, canvas, Artist Trading Cards/Coins, art journal, altered objects - whatever you can imaging that fits our steampunk/industrial theme. We are in awe of your creative imaginations and use of materials, and look forward to each challenge to see where your creative muse took you.

October and yes, just in time for Halloween :-) I was inspired to create a suitabel project, it's an industrial shadow frame. The big Boss Berti Batman - you can see him in forground

 is in a particularly good mood today, 

that means his employees prefer to hide in the last hiding place ;-).



Tips & Tricks

 

I love it to play with 3D effects, 

here I used the a BAT trims (Etcetera Stampers Anonymous)


 

Tim Holtz Retro Typewriter die with structure and metallic paper 



 completed with a written document and some ghosts and bat dies


 the shelf is very easy to create - 

after gluing the trim I could easily attach it to the outside of the shadow frame

 

I used black acrylic paint with a little texture paste

 finally highlighted with silver metallic wax

 My  teamies at SASPC have come up with many

inspiring and different versions
on this Steampunk/ Industrial  challenge.

We are looking forward to see your new creations! 

 

  Happy Crafting!

Beginning of autumn

 Hello creative friends!

Autumn has arrived and the leaves are slowly falling from the trees.

 A wonderful season that inspired me to create a leaf whirl with punched out motifs and chipboards.

 I selected the format 24 x 30 cm.



 

Tips & Tricks

firstly I draw a curved line with a pencil, 

then I chose a wildflower stencil for the background

 along the drawn lines  now stamped with waterproof ink pad

 and matching autumn stamps (Stampers Anonymous)


now I punched out a lot of leaves and branches, together with some matching chipboards

 and butterflies this resulted in a 3d living leaf whirl

which  Dusty Attic chipboards

 and stencils I used can you find here


 

 

 

Happy crafting!
