Hi everyone! It's me  Tonya  and since Easter is right around the corner I wanted to share a card I created using the past  Mailbox Muse Magical Gypsy Bazaar Kit  and  Kunze German Scraps . I have never had the opportunity to use the German foil before but let me say this I love it! I started by cutting and folding an embossed piece of green polka dot Bazzill cardstock to create a 5" x 5 1/2" cardbase.  Ink the edges of the 4 3/4" x 4 3/4" light green polka dot cardstock and adhere off center of the base along with the german foil white medallion. I cut a 1 3/4" x  5 1/2" stripe of patterned cardstock and center and adhere along with the an pink piece of cardstock cut slightly larger than the gold german foil and adhere to the top of the card base. I fussy cut the bunny from the  Fresh Springtime printable , added a little  Star Dust Stickles  to the egg and adhered to the card along with the sentiment tha...

We are nearing the end of March and that means our fantastic partnership with Kunze Dresden will come to an end.   BUT the beauty of the products remains.   THANKS to Kunze for allowing us to showcase the elegant Dresden Scrap that is manufactured in Germany with care and pride.

Feeling a little punkish today.  Steampunk-ish, that is!  Steampunk is a little out of my comfort zone, but I love the projects my teammates have shared.  Today I started with a wonderful folding card.  the four pages all fold in and the card becomes a box-like square.  Each of the flaps is meant to hold an oversize tag, but I haven't started on those yet.  The stencils and cutting dies are from my own collection.  That's really one of the things I love best about the Altered Pages collage sheets .  No matter what your favorite medium, you can incorporate them!    Each side of this multi-panel card has five 6" x 6" panels and two 2.5" x 6" panels  The small panels fold up inside to create pockets.   Inks in both warm and cool colors Double sided tape Glitz stickers The majority of Altered Pages collage images are from these three sheets:  385D Postcards 2605 Fly with Steam 3042 S...

One of my very favorite things to do is collage. I love paper and images.         Altered Pages has lots to chose from when it come to images! I especially love the color groupings they have.  For this collage I used pieces of chipboard that I have around, and decided on BLUE as its is one of my favorite colors. And included lots of KUNZE German Scrap for some bling!     The first step is to gather all the materials you will need. I like having it all around me, so I can have lots to pick from. I begin by doing the smaller collages on smaller pieces of chipboard.  (Around an ATC size)  I had already selected the larger piece in the middle.  This is one of my own digital collages. (yes I love digital collage too)  So I started to construct the full piece with the digital collage in the middle. There are three larger pieces underneath as the foundation that holds the r...

At Altered Pages we have a very talented Design Team! Today we are proud to introduce you to DEBI TULLIER!   Hi, I am Debi Tullier. I am so happy to meet you. I have loved art since I was very small. I actually have my first watercolor of my grandmother's dachshund made when I was four. My love of art, sewing and crafting were grown at the hands of my grandmother. She was a stickler for passing on the skills that would make me a free spirit which is how she saw herself. I don't know if I have made that free spirit title but I sure try! I am grandmother to two wonderful children. We love to craft, paint, and sew together. I now really understand why my grandmother loved teaching me. Fine arts and graphic arts were my formal focus. I was fortunate to actually illustrate a book, it isn't that fancy just some flat airbrushing. It is a flag book LOL. I also had a wonderful opportunity to create a door sized Wurlitzer jukebox. I worked in acrylic plas...
