Crafting a Luminaire for our Christmas tree lights was super easy with:      Activa Modena Soft, Air Drying Polymer Clay.       To decide the size of my Luminaire I glued   down the chipboard snowflake   I chose, from the pack, onto watercolor paper and covered it with aluminum tape (the type that A/C installers use). After smoothing the tape over the snowflake with a pencil eraser, I found a circle punch the size I needed .. Punched out the metal-covered snowflake, made a hole in the middle of the snowflake and used an Exacto knife to cut an "X" over the hole.  Punched one more circle, just out of the aluminum tape by itself. Set aside. Next I took a lime-sized portion of the clay, rolled into a snake, then flattened.  Placed it upon a long strip/border stamp; mine was approximately 12" in length. Then pressed another smaller stamp along the top, lightly pushing the clay into the stamp it is resting on. (...

Hi Everyone it's Danie back again. As you know we have been playing with Chipboard from the Leaky Shed Studio all this month which is just so versatile to use in an array of projects.  This month I have used them in my journal, on a mixed media canvas and now my project today. And throughout July you no doubt have seen all the other beautiful work by my fellow team mates along with the Leaky Shed Designers. Altered Pages sells 6 x 6 Black Mat Board Pieces which are the perfect weight and size to to make some book or album covers with.  An Idea was sparked! I rummaged through my box of Altered Pages Goodness and pulled out some other things I thought I might use. After punching some holes in my mat board for two rings to hold my book together I started covering the front of the mat board with some torn pieces of Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells Papers and some Embossed Cardstock such as the Two Scoops for some subtle texture.  My papers have given me a theme ...

Hello everyone!  Happy Monday!  As you may already know, Altered Pages has partnered with Leaky Shed Studio and their design team this month.  Our theme is "Flies", and we can interpret that any way we choose.  I got these beautiful chipboard butterflies from Leaky Shed, so I knew I wanted to make a fun card using it as a dimensional embellishment.   I began with a pre-made 5"x7" kraft card, and layered green and purple papers from the Kaisercraft Botanical Odyssey and Hummingbird paper packs to the front.  Then I printed "Aux Violettes de Nice" collage image and taped the decorative border die cut, also from the paper pack, to the top. I applied adhesive around bottom and sides of this piece and adhered to front of card, forming a pocket, adding  yellow baby ball fringe  across the seam.. Stamp larger dragonfly from the  Muse Dragonfly rubber stamp set  onto card front, as shown, and paint with Imperial Purple Ar...
