Vintage Burlap Panel

Posted by Cathy Parlitsis

· June 16, 2014

I love old photos. I especially love old photos of people I love! This photo was taken on my Grandparent's Wedding Day. In the Vintage World, everyone is using "Found Relatives" photos so I figured I could make copies of mine and just use those!

I used the Crafter's Workshop Antiquities Stencil and Embossing Paste to create this Vintage Burlap Panel.

I used Evergreen Bough and Antique Bronze Distress Paints to age the Pocket Watch, Swivel Clasp, Word Key, Button and Corner. Inside the Pocket Watch is a Timepiece, Mini Gear and Game Spinner.

Supplies: Journal Tickets, French Industrial Salvage Stickers, Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Blending Tool, Linen Ribbon, Fanciful Accoutrements, Remnant Rubs, Texture Fade

Stencil and Embossing Paste Tags with Distress Paints

Posted by Cathy Parlitsis

· June 14, 2014

I used to be afraid of Embossing Paste. I'm not sure why but I just never used it. Now, I can't stop using it. LOL. Today's tag uses the TH Ruler Stencil and White Embossing Paste along with Distress Paints to recreate Tim's Stencil and Embossing Paste Technique form Compendium of Curiosities III.

These are the tag backgrounds created using the paints.

The TH "Be an Individual…" stamp was stamped onto the surface of the tag using Black Archival Ink. I stamped the saying again – this time onto the smaller tag and trim down. I adhered this layer over the tag using Stampin' Dimensionals.

I used Distress Inks to dye two pieces of Crinkle Ribbon (8" and 24"). Threaded the 8" piece through the hole in the tag. Wrapped the remaining ribbon around your hand and then tied the center with the 8" piece to create the bow.

The tag was embellished with Idea-ology pieces – A clip on the sentiment piece; A Word Band tied to the front with Black Fibers; two Silver Mini Corners.

June 2014 Tag

Posted by Cathy Parlitsis

· June 12, 2014

I admit it…I am a Stage Five Groupie. I love all things T!m! I look forward to the monthly Tags and participate every month. This month was Watercolor Monoprint with Stencils. I love stencils and I love watercolor so I was anxious to try it! It is not an exact science so I ended up doing two and I'm sure I'll do a few more also 'cause it's kinda addicting! LOL

I started with some Mini Distress Ink Pads (Crushed Olive, Dusty Concord, Mustard Seed, Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry). I thought I didn't need the minis because I have ALL of the regular Distress Ink Pads but they're SO awesome that I had to buy them too! This technique is a great example of WHY. I smushed them onto the BACK side of the Chevron Texture Fade Stencil and then spritzed with water.

Then, flipped the stencil over onto the smooth side of Watercolor Cardstock and pressed with a paper towel. It seemed a little too "neat" so I spritzed the paper with water and I didn't love the results. (It's the one on the right.) I immediately spritzed the stencil again and repeated the procedure onto another piece of Watercolor Cardstock to get another version. I actually like the second one better! (Left is the second impression.) I mopped up the remaining ink with a third piece of Watercolor Cardstock because Distress Ink should never go to waste! 😉

I trimmed down the Watercolor Cardstock and tore a small piece off the bottom. I then inked the edges of both tags with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and a Blending tool. I stamped the "Creativity" sentiment in Black Archival Ink and then stamped the butterflies from the Papillon Stamp Set and adhered the watercolor piece to the manila tag.

Next, I smushed some Distress Inks onto the Craft Mat and layed 2 pieces of Crinkle Ribbon (8" and 24") into the ink allowing it to absorb.

I crinkled the Ribbon and heat set it.

I fed the smaller piece of Ribbon through the tag. Next, I wrapped the Crinkle Ribbon around my hand and squashed it in the center, layed it over the other ribbon and tied a knot around the ribbon to create the bow. (As per Tim's instructions.)

I assembled the Idea-ology Gears like T!m did on his tag.

Here's the finished tag using the Chevron Texture Fade.

I repeated the procedure using the same inks and the Latticework Texture Fade Stencil.

I trimmed the Watercolor Cardstock to fit the Manila Tag.

I stamped the butterflies from Papillon onto the tag and again onto another piece of Watercolor Cardstock and then watercolored them by swiping an Aqua Painter across the Mini Distress Pads and then hand cut them. I put a piece of Foam Tape on the backs and adhered them over the stamped butterflies.

The bow was created the same way. I used a placquard instead of the gears for this one.

Here they are together – Very similar – but each one is different. Hope you like them! 😀

Artsy Umbrella Man Tag

Posted by Cathy Parlitsis

· May 29, 2014

Today's challenge was to use an "Artsy" stamp. The "Umbrella Man" has been in my stash a loooooong time and I don't think I've ever used him! So…he makes his debut on this Distressed Tag.

I wanted the background to be a little "dark and rainy" so I started with Pumice Stone, Old Paper and Frayed Burlap Distress Stains on a Craft Mat. Spritzed with Water and swiped the tag through a couple of times.

Next, I did the Spritz and Flick Technique with Water and a Heat Tool to get the spots.

I used Frayed Burlap Distress Ink and a Blending Tool through the TH Clockwork Stencil.

Then, I used Pumice Stone Distress Ink through the Dot Fade Stencil.

I went back in to the corner with the Clockworks stencil. The Idea-Ology Mini Corner finished off the bottom corner of the tag.

The Artsy Umbrella Man was stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with Black Embossing Powder.

The Ticket Stamp was stamped in Black Memento Ink.

I used the TH Gadget Gears Die to cut out some Chipboard and then sponged Frayed Burlap Ink on top of it. After cuttting it in half, I adhered it to the card front using Crystal Effects. Idea-ology gears were adhered on top using Crystal Effects.

A smaller Gadget Gear was cut, inked and attached on the upper edge of the tag. Idea-Ology Gears were attached using Crystal Effects. The Word Band was attached using a Paper Piercer and Brads. The Naturals Black and Cream Trimmings Ribbon was cut and then pulled apart to fray it a little before looping through the hole in the tag.

The tag was finished off with a Black Distress Marker and the Spritzer Tool.

Happy Birthday To ME and Birthday Blog Candy for YOU! Leave me a Comment for a chance to win Blog Candy and Click here to subscribe to my mailing list for more chances to WIN BLOG CANDY! I have lots of goodies here that need a new home where they can be put to good use! Today's Dazzling Diva Design Challenge was to use Hexagons. I decided to do a couple more Art Journal Pages 'cause I am just an Art Journal-ista! (I wish I'd known how much fun this was going to be!) I started with my three favorite Craft Metal Colors – Dark Rich Chocolate Metal, Brushed Copper, and Brushed Bronze.

Tim Holtz Tissue Paper was attached to two pages of my Art Journal.

I rubbed Distress Stains Directly onto the Tissue Paper – Antique Bronze, Vintage Photo and Antique Linen. Then, I spritzed them with water, rubbed the pages with a Flour Sack Towel and dried it with a Heat Tool.

Using the Tim Holtz Die, I cut out Honeycombs in all three colors of Craft Metal.

The Dark Rich Chocolate Metal was used for the Honeycomb and then the other colors were placed in the centers and adhered with Glue Dots.

The Idea-ology lock was adhered to the top of the left page with Glue Dots. I used a Dyan Reavely Stencil and Dream Weaver's Black Embossing Paste to put the quote onto the pages.

The Tag was cut from cardstock and the decorative top was punched using a Stampin' Up! Scallop Edge Punch. It was Distressed using Distress Stains and then Idea-Ology Mini Corners were attached to the bottom and a Linen Ribbon was distressed and attached to the top. The whole tag was then layered onto a piece of Dark Chocolate Metal Sheet that was punched using the SU! Scallop Edge Punch and attached to the page using Sticky Strip.

Enjoy the Journey Canvas

Posted by Cathy Parlitsis

· April 8, 2014

I just want to go on the record here…I am WAY out of my comfort zone with this project. I bought this TH Canvas and wanted to do a "Journey" project with it. My new fave technique is Embossing Paste with Stencils! This uses the Harlequin Stencil from The Crafter's Workshop. There's beautiful distressing built right into the stencil. I tried to give you detailed photos and instructions and included a short video showing you so the project. Let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy! 😀

The next photo is a sideview so you can see the texture and dimension. The Film Strip was adhered with Glue Dots so I could curve it. The edges were adhered to the canvas using Glue Dots or Staples.

First, I put The Crafter's Workshop Harlequin Stencil over the Canvas and spread Embossing Paste over it. (Clean your stencil immediately) Allow to dry.

Then, I sprayed Walnut Ink over the Embossing Paste. I used a rag to lift off some of the Ink in places so it wouldn't be quite so dark or uniform.

A small piece of TH Kraft Cardstock was cut, distressed and inked with Vintage Photo Distress ink and then Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

The tag was created using the same technique I used for the Vintage Postcard – You can see the Tutorial HERE.
Once the background of the tag was done, various stamps (map & script) were stamped over the top of it.

I wanted to use the Idea-ology word band that said: "Enjoy The Journey" but it was silver and I needed it to be bronze so I first rubbed Evergreen Bough Distress Ink into the words and allowed to dry.
Then, I applied Antique Bronze Distress Paint over the top of it and tapped it until I got the look I wanted. I smudged some of the Evergreen Bough in places as well.

I cut out a photo from one of TH's papers.

The photo was too white for the projects so I distressed the edges with a Distress Tool and sponged over them with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
I used an Industrial Sticker and sponged over that with Vintage Photo Distress Ink as well.

Crinkle Ribbon was dyed by spritzing it with water and running Scattered Straw and Vintage Photo Distress Ink Pads over the top, crinkling and then drying it with a Heat Tool.
Idea-Ology Gears were attached to the tag using a Paper Piercing Tool and a Screw Brad.

The gears were cut from Chipboard using the Gadget Gears Die.
They were inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and then inked with Distress Embossing Ink and embossed with Vintage Photo Distress Embossing Powder.
The Chipboard was then cut in half and adhered to the tag using Glue Dots.
The Word Band was attached to the tag using fibers that are secured behind with Glue Dots.
The Tag was distressed with a Distress tool and Inked with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.
A Mini Corner was attached to the bottom left corner of the tag and then it was hammered to distress it.
A strip of leather was attached to the side of the tag with Sticky Strip.

A scrap of printed Mulberry Paper was torn and inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and then attached to the canvas. The photo and stick were adhered on top.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and read through all of this!

Frame with Embossing Paste, Stencils and Vinyl

Posted by Cathy Parlitsis

· April 6, 2014

Today's Challenge was to create something using Vinyl and my Cricut for Scrapbooker PhD. I had a bunch of ideas but I wanted to do a Faux Leather-ish Frame that said "It's All About Family" because, at the end of the day, that's what it's really all about for me.

The Vinyl words are adhered to a Window Sheet so you can change the saying without altering the frame.

I started with a cheap dollar store wooden frame and applied Gesso with a foam brush.
Next, I painted the frame with TH Antique Linen Crackle Paint and allowed it to dry.

I used 3 Crafter's Workshop Sencils – Mini Harlequin, Antiquities and Time Travel, and applied Dreamweaver's Crackle Embossing Paste to the frame through the stencils and allowed to dry.

Once the Embossing Paste was dry, I applied Vintage Photo Distress Ink to the entire frame over the Embossing Paste.

Then, I applied SU! Chocolate Chip Ink to the frame and Embossing Paste.

I cut a piece of Manila Cardstock to 4-1/8" x 6-1/8".
Applied Distress Stains to a Craft Sheet and spritzed with Water.
Ran the cardstock through the Distress Stains and dried with a Heat Tool.

Used a Spritz & Flick Technique to drop water onto the cardstock and heat set.

Applied Vintage Photo Distress Ink to the cardstock and then inked the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a Blending Tool.

Cut Brown Matte Vinyl with Cricut and Cursive 101 Cartridge to create "It's all about Family."
Cut a Window Sheet to fit the size of the frame opening (mine was 4-1/4" 6-1/8").
Put Window Sheet over Grid Paper and marked where letters should go.
Applied Letters to Window Sheet.
