Guest Designer Jenn Paci and DT inspiration

Hello!

Joining us today with some pretty awesome inspiration is Sami Stamps Challenge #41 winner
Jenn Paci!

"Hey ya'll my name is Jenn, and I thought I'd share a little about myself. I
currently live in South Carolina with my husband and we have a 2 1/2 year
old little boy names Caeleb.

  I love many varieties of crafting and creating with my hands. Whether it
is music, cooking, jewelry, or papercrafting , I have always enjoyed
putting my all into anything I'm creating. Creating something beautiful out
of raw materials and sharing it with friends and family has always brought
me great joy!

Card making is the newest addition to my papercrafting hobby. I can sit
down and create one or more cards in one sitting when I don't have the
extra time for larger proects!

<http://stampandsmushink.com/sample-page/20160522_200047/>

I am always trying to learn new techniques to incorporate into my cards and other
projects. I can't always get the latest in crafting supplies, but I love
coming up with ways to stretch what I do have and still keep up with the
latest trends! Finding new uses for  the supplies I have pushes me to think
outside the box and sometimes outside of my comfort zone as well.

I love to share any tips, tricks, or techniques I learn with everyone who
joins me along my journey of growing as a card maker and papercrafter!"

New Release: Mushroom Fairies and Guest DT Marina!

I have recently been requested to make some woodland fairies and mushrooms.  
So here it is, our Newest Release:

Check out the shop for this weeks deals!

Joining us today as a Guest Designer is our winner from Sami Stamps Challenge 009:

Marina:

I’m Marina from the UK. I work full-time in education and I have a family, but in my free-time, I make things. What I enjoy most is having an idea and trying to make it work. 

(Sometimes it works better than others!)

I’m on two design teams, Inkspirational and Pinspirational Challenges. At the moment, as well as making lots of cards, I am scrapbooking and trying to sew a present for a friend’s new baby. I have also set myself the challenge of making a Christmas card a week, and posting it on my blog.

Thank you Sami for having me as Guest Designer.

Marina Crafted a beautiful faux wood tag out of chipboard using "Mushroom Fairy." It turned out just so lovely I wanted to include her tutorial so you can make one of your own!

 Materials:

Sami Stamps digi Mushroom Fairy

Chipboard rectangle  (mine had a white coating on one side and bevelled edges)

Markers,  Ultra fine glitter ,Two shades of beige/brown ink pad

Clear ink pad (Versamark)  and clear embossing powder

Heat gun and hole punch

Woodgrain rubber stamp

Twine, charm, gem

1.) Color the fairy and cut it out closely. 
2.) Color the chipboard using the paler ink and stamp the woodgrain with the darker ink.
3.) Glue the fairy image onto the tag and punched a hole.  I put glue on the fairy’s wings and sprinkled them with ultra-fine glittter.

4.) Dabble the whole tag with clear ink , sprinkle it with clear embossing powder and heat it to melt. This was repeated 3 or four times till the surface was glassy smooth. The dabbing of clear ink caused particles of glitter to be transferred across the tag, which (although not originally intended!) gives the whole tag a fairy sparkle. 
5.) I finished it off with some twine, a dragonfly charm and a gem

My Design Team would love to share their examples with you this week. Such fun as always! =) A Big, BIG thank you goes to these wonderful ladies for always sharing their talent with us!
