ScorPal & VLVS! - Day Three

Welcome to a week full of inspiration!

and

 

All week we'll be teaming up with the folks @ Scor-Pal and using their amazing scoring tool in conjunction with Viva Las VegaStamps! rubber stamps!

--Leave comments all week long to be entered to win! Scor-Pal has an original Scor-Pal to give away PLUS a lb o' rubber! And we've got a ScorEnvi plus a lb o' rubber!--

First up for inspiration today is Lea Cioci! She's brought this superbly textured dimensional box! 

It has been designed with her Scor-Pal.  She punched holes to add interest and more depth and has stamped some cardstock then adhered it under the holes on the inside of the box. The accents around the box and tag were created with Sakura of America Cray Pas.  The image of lady under umbrella and tag enhance the box cover lending it to be used as an "anytime gift" or "treat" when someone is having a bad day.

2nd up is Sandra with a super sweet little Halloween treat box! The top lid:

Sandra Says "using my Scor-Pal®, I scored a 7x7 piece of watercolor paper at 2 inches and 5 1/8 inches. Gelatos were used to paint the paper. I cut where the lines met at each corner, folded, and taped the flaps to make  a 3x3 1/8 lid. I stamped the Giant Jack-o-Lantern image onto a piece of Kromecote that I ironed under wax paper, and rubbed with an inkpad.  I colored the images with the Gellyrolls and cut it out.  I used soft gel medium to stick to the burlap."

 And for the actual box: 

From Sandra : "Using my Scor-Pal®, I scored a 7x7 piece of watercolor paper at 2 inches and 5 inches. Then I followed the same procedure for cutting and folding as I did for the lid to make a 3x3 box. I stamped the images onto silk tissue paper and used the gel medium to glue them down.  I used the stardust pens to add a few swirls and lines and I was done!"

Here's a sneak peek from Sandra

Sandra Strait's blog hop inspiration goes for a Wabi-Sabi feel with her wood tag from Genuinely Jane and VLVS! stamps. She uses acrylic paints, metallic leaf, microglaze and tea-bags to capture the soft, weathered look of old tile and tennis shoes.

and one from Karen:

Karen says : Here is a peek at my project. The Genuinely Jane Timber products are awesome, and the finish of the timber makes them perfect to stamp directly onto .  I had so much fun with this. I have made a little sign to hang off rings above my creating space. Most of my creations find homes in other places, so this time it was nice to do a little something for me! I've used a base of distress crackle, and then stamped using VLVS! directly on to the Genuinely Jane  timber arrow.

Did you see those projects before you arrived here today?? If not, you're in the wrong spot! Start at Genuinely Jane Studio and make your way through the hop, you should end up here!

DD Inspiration Day #7

Hello!! Welcome to our week full of inspiration using Plate1430! Today is the last day!!

 

Today's post is by Sandra! Our resident Tangler and drawer! She's put together a collection of "Daily December Beasts: !!!

 While most people are familiar with the Grinch, they are unaware of the Daily December beasts that inhabit the North Pole.  These critturs hibernate all year long, except for one day.  A different beast wakens each day in December, and runs frantically about the workshops and factories, honking or hooting or chirping.  By this means, the elves always know what day of the month it is when they see or hear the Daily beast.

As you might imagine, pictures or photos of the beasts are rare, but I managed to do some sketches of them (don't ask when or how!) and I'm sharing a few with the world at large.

Leave Sandra some love for her beautiful monsters!!! I'll leave comments open until tomorrow (Monday) morning and then I'll draw a winner from all comments posted on each post. The more times you the comment the better your chances at winning! (One comment per day, please)
