Jewelry: Mini Journal Necklace

Hello Creatives-

I have a jewelry project for you using Letter press Paper, TCW Stencil as an embossing plate to make a Mini Journal Necklace.

I used my Sig Shot machine from Sizzix and the black rubber pad to make a deeper embossing impression. Using thicker card stock or Letter Press paper will lend the best results. Do the suggested stack for the machine that you are using. 

New Winter Release 2015 stencil TCW2081

I cut out the section that I liked used Distress Ink pad to add some color. Then added additional sheets of paper to the center. Punched two holes on the top, threaded steel wire and made a loop on each side. 

String beads, crystals and chain from those loops to create the chain. I made this necklace long so that I did not have to worry about a clasp it just slips over your head. 

Hope this will spark some creative juices in your own studios.

Holding Space

Hello Creatives:

I wanted to share a recent Journal page tilted "Holding Space". As I am holding space for my Father I am aware of the people whom hold space for myself while Holding space. If interested in what holding space is please visit this link, Holding Space. 

I often workout project ideas in my travel journal. Then I will do glass samples for a larger work. My hope is that this will turn into a wall mounted glass sculpture. Part of the overall process I wanted to share. 

Out of uncertainty comes beauty.

Wishing you a creative day even if it is in your minds eye.

Be well-

You Rock-!! Card

Hello Creatives.

Here is a  fun creative card for you today using The Crafters Workshop Metal Die Horizontal Chevron TCW1025. These dies are great to use for cards, so fast and easy.

Step 1:

Using acrylic paint and a brayer with my "Gelli Plate". I applied the paint to the Gelli Plate and then with white paper pressing it onto the painted Gelli Plate. Pulling the paper off and letting it dry.

Step 2:

Cut the white card stock with the TCW die and Big Shot machine.

Note: TCW dies are compatible with Big Shot, Cuttlebug, Wizard, Epic, Revolution, Big Kick, and other die-cutting machines.

Step 3:

Cut a folding card blank from card stock. I used dark grey. 6"x4". Then also cut out the background for the white die cut paper from the acrylic painted paper. Glue that to the back side of the die cut white paper. Add ribbon, embellishments and glue to your folded card blank.

Enjoy-! Because YOU ROCK-!

Be well-
