Hi everyone it's Danie here with you all today.  Have you seen the latest Paper ranges from Glitz  which are available at Altered Pages?  If you haven't you really don't know what you are missing.   These papers have a wonderful distressed vintage feel  with a little bit of the fresh and funky thrown in. Anyhow this week I started playing with some new quote stamps and I decided to also make a little Inspirational Mini Accordion Album  with my favorite ones.   I chose some papers from the Laced Grace Paper Collection from Glitz,  along with a coordinating color in the Coredinations Cardstock to make my album covers and the off cuts I have used for tags. My album is not finished but here's a sneak peak at it so far.   I have used the natural Flat Jute simply tied at the front to keep it together.  I have added some color to my neutral colored papers using my Niji Pearlescent Water Colors...

Hi Everyone!  It's Danie here today sharing a quick card I made which came together easily and beautifully thanks to the coordinating range of Glitz Products and a few other items available from Altered Pages . I used items from the Glitz Vintage Blue Collection which includes 6 x 6 Papers , Clear Stamps , and Trim .  It all coordinates so beautifully together. Also from Altered Pages is the new Two Scoops  Two Tone Textured Cardstock from Bazzill Basics, the Fabric Flowers and the Gold Niji Pearlescent WaterColor I used to color in my image with.  All of these items were part of a recent order I received and have been playing with. The Espresso and Mustard Seed Ink along with the Gold Metallic Dew Drops and Cream Cardstock are the only other things I had to add from my other stash. I have torn and sanded back the piece of dark brown Two Scoops Cardstock to reveal the lighter core color while using another piece which I haven't sanded for my card base. ...

All of us here at Altered Pages have been having fun creating projects for January's Snow Dancing Challenge , myself included!  Here is the card I made.... Dance like nobody is watching...   It may not look it but the skater and the background are actually two separate images.  I started off by printing and painting the background with Pearlescent Watercolor paints by Niji.  They are an amazing watercolor paint with I think mica mixed in.  They give you an amazing shimmer and shine that is so hard to pick up with the camera.   Next I colored the skater with my Sectrum Noir markers and added a bit of Flower Soft to her costume (bottom of her dress, sleeves, neckline & hair piece).  I then cut her out and mounted her to the card with double stick foam tape to make her look like she's leaping right off the card!   The flourishes were cut using some of the Glitter Silk Paper and I have to tell you it's beautiful stuff!  T...

  I have always enjoyed the beautiful cards of Valentine's Day.  The pretty flowers, the colors and the special sentiments can't help but catch your eye.  I created this pedestal card to showcase the wonderful collage sheets from Altered Pages .  I love the Valentines of Nations (AP 2032) collage sheet.  It brings together the day of love and cultures from around the world.  I wanted to bring more attention to this collage so I decided to use a piece of black card stock that was painted using the fabulous pearlescent watercolor paints that Altered Pages carries.  After it had dried I ran it through my embossing machine using the swirls die also from AP.  Of course what card is complete without some gorgeous patterned paper and embellishments?  I added some hearts patterned paper from the Hello Friend Paper Pad by Glitz .  Then, I added some pink brads for the center of the flowers (what's Valentine's Day without flowers, r...

Thank you Jean for inviting me to be a member of this awesome Design Team!  I love collage and am excited to work with the wonderful products Altered Pages has to offer. My inspiration was the beautiful image of the lady above, found on this  P aris Collage Sheet !! This collage is created on a Manila Tag . First, paint a light blue wash with   Pearlescent Watercolors . Once it was dry use a brown ink  and stamp swirls, then ink the edges of the tag and image and ink a vintage white paper doily and white lace.  With a fine pen write "Let me read your palm" on the image. Adhere the doily, lace and image. From my personal stash I added the feather, chipboard palm, heart rhinestone and feather  with Sakura Crystal Lacquer . Complete it with the finishing touches a bit of ribbon and glitter!
