  Yes, even though summer is only half over it's time to think about back to school sales!  I've always liked the black and white speckled look of the composition books.  What a great pre-made background!  These handy little books are still required in a lot of schools.  You can find them pretty cheaply at dollar stores.  I had fun decorating this one!   One of the fall fronds from the Fall Splendor collage sheet was printed on Craft Attitude film so that the words "COMPOSITION BOOK" would show through.  I ran the film through my sticker maker and you can't even see the adhesive.  You could use acetate, but I like the matte finish of the film because it blends well with the finish of the card stock, which was used for the rest of the images.   The Fall Splendor collage was printed three times.  One was 8.5 x 11 and two were 5 x 7 so that I could have leaves and flowers of differing sizes.  A few other colla...

Hi everyone...Robin here with a Christmas card for you.  My card features two Altered Pages Colorful Christmas collage images which were printed on Craft Attitude and then adhered to cardstock.  I printed on the Craft Attitude film instead of directly on the paper because it gives the card a silky finish.  The background of the card is made with a piece of plastic film in the rattlesnake pattern.  There is a piece of red Punchinella on top.  The Punchinella came in one of the Mailbox Muse kits.  They are always filled with artsy treasures!  I took a glue stick and daubed here and there all over the back of the Punchinella ribbon to hold in place. Once the plastic background panel was attached, I glued on two paper borders which help hold the Punchinella firmly in place.  Then the main image was attached with a strong double-sided tape .  I searched my stash of embellishments and came up with two u...

  I have had lots of fun using Craft Attitude printable film this month and I have one final project to share with you.... I transformed a pair of vintage ice skates into a fun piece of art that you could use to decorate your home, give as a hostess gift or as a fun personalized present for anyone on your gift giving list!   The best part...you can decorate both sides differently.  I went with a Victorian Christmas on one side and an Ivory Angel on the other for a generic Winter feel so that it can be displayed for several weeks this holiday season. Craft Attitude Printable Film Altered Pages: Victorian Christmas ; Christmas Ivy ; Ivory Angels ; Aleene's Tacky Glue; IMAGINE Crafts Ink And here is a handy little Snapguide on how to go about making one of these Vintage Skates all your own: Check out How to Alter a Christmas & Winter Themed Ice Skate by Roni Johnson on Snapguide .

Hello again friends and Happy Friday! Stephanie here and as you may know  Altered Pages  is teaming up with  Craft Attitude  all this month. I can honestly say the Craft Attitude printable film is so fun to work with.  You will see here that using Craft Attitude, a 8x10 canvas board as well as beautiful collage images I create a Thanksgiving themed project that I think would make the sweetest hostess gift.   I started by preparing the canvas with gesso.  I then added a mottled layer of beautiful Art Anthology Acrylics. (sorry this is somewhat blurry, you get the idea, yummy gold and burgundy colors as a base) Next, I trimmed to size a piece of burlap and adhered it to my canvas with a few dabs of glue.  Then, came time to add my main image using the Be Thankfully Calm collage sheet from Altered Pages.  This was printed on the Craft Attitude film.  Because my main image was text it was very impo...

Hi everyone! It's me,  Tonya  and I'm here to share a quick and simple project for this month using some of my favorite  Altered Pages  supplies and I got to try my creativity with some of the printable film from this month's sponsor Craft Attitude. I 'm going to show you how to create a gift card holder from a tag so lets get started. The base of this gift card holder is created from a  #10 tag (4 1/8"x8 1/2")  and  all you need to do is fold as shown below. Also ink all edges of the tag in red. I cut  cardstock  to fit the inside and then adhered to the tag. I didn't cover the inside of the "pocket" since it won't be seen. I did the outside of the tag the same as inside. Next I punched a tiny hole in the center of the flap and threaded the  twine  through and tied off on the backside. Then I adhered the flap down and used cloths pins to keep everything in place while it dried. Then I ra...
