Simply Paper Crafts

Hey, friends, today I'd like to share some new fun inks by Aladine from Clearsnap. These pigment inks are amazing and I really enjoy playing with them on the background of my tags.
Here I used different methods to apply these inks. As you can see, there are different effects and results. And all of them are simple and awesome!

I have included a quick video to show you how I made these tags. 

Hey, guys, so glad to be here again. I love Pixnet!
If you love my creations and want to see more of my latest news,
please check my blog at Simply Paper Crafts. I'll see you there.

Hey, my dear blog friends, thank you so much for joining our STAMPember blog hop last week. I had so much fun visiting your blogs and seeing all the awesome creations. This week, at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, we challenge you -- "Say It with Stamps" -- from phrases to words to simple alphabets, we want to see your creations with all those letter, word, and phrase sentiment stamps this week.
I was inspired to use a stamp on the layout for my summer vacation.It's our first time seeing glaciers and eating reindeer sausage pizza during our family trip to Alaska this summer. These are really amazing and unforgetable memories. I decided to use this Tim Holtz stamp which has a perfect sentiment for my layout with a photo of my children that was taken in Anchorage.

Hey, guys, I'd like to share project that I made for Clearsnap featuring ColorBox® Dye Ink and some fantastic products from Clearsnap. As the air is crisp and leaves are changing, let's make some fall crafts.The ColorBox® Dye Ink is archival quality, fast-drying and permanent. On this card, I used the new colors from Clearsnap and they are my favorite colors: Suede and Irish.   To start this card, I stamped the fall flower image using rubber satmp and Colorbox dye ink in suede color. ColorBox® Stylus and Tips work perfectly with ColorBox® Dye Ink to distress the edges. The soft white tips are also great for blending colors in direct-to-paper projects.

Happy Friday, my lovely blog friends, as kids are back to school now and finally I'll have more time to craft and visit all your beautiful blog ;) , let's have something fun! I've been enjoying so much designing for Faber-Castell for the past 4 months as a guest designer and I always love all the high quality products from Faber-Castell. You may check my projects and tutorials designed for Faber-Castell here.  And now, here for the really fun part - I would like to give a PRIZE PACKAGE!!! Yes! this prize is generously sponsored by Faber-Castell, as a gift for one of you - my dear readers/followers and I am sure you will love it.

It was so exciting to receive this kit because all the elements in the box were awesome. I love those beautiful colors of acrylic paints especially that teal color is my favorite. As you can see lots of my creations used this gorgeous color.
I created a double journal page using this Ranger Small Creative Journal in the kit. It has a very sturdy cover and many pages of good quality paper inside. There are also some Simon Says Stamp exclusive products used on these pages such as those lovely butterfly die cuts and the leaf border. To start this project, I covered the pages with Gesso and colored the background with water mixed acrylic paint in teal color. It's so fun to make this busy and lively background using stamps with chalk ink, and stencil with acrylic paint. I used the stencil to trace "&" on the old dictionary paper and cut it out to make the sentiment - "Keep Calm & Stamp On".  I love the gorgeous butterflies and leaf border so I attached them on the page. The modeling paste on the background and the Prima flowers added such a beautiful texture and accent on this page. Love the beautiful color of altered orange acrylic paint in this kit too, so I applied it on the flower to make it stand out.
I've enjoyed creating with the great collection in this art journaling kit and the awesome exclusive products from Simon Says Stamp. Please be sure to try these fun techniques and products when you get a chance.  

 Hello, my dear friends in blogland, so glad you are back. This month at Simon Says Stamp Blog, we have lots of events, inspirations and blog hops so please join us for the fun STAMPtember® !
On the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog this week, we challenge you do the experiment - you sure can stamp on plain white cardstock but what else can you stamp on? Fabric, vellum, patterned paper, canvas, and wood are just a few examples! Grab a stamp and show us what surface you choose for your project. After receiving the Surfacez ink pads, the new multi-surface inks, from Clearsnap I have tried them on plastic, glass, metal, shrink film, and I am very happy with the result. Surfacez is a solvent ink pad that works on mulitple surfaces, dries quickly, and it is permanent once dry. I always love to try new materials and products so I have to stamp on as many different surfaces as I can. It's reall fun!
So on this project, I decided to use Surfacez ink on fabric, wood, canvas, button and ribbon. To decorate the cover of this Heidi Swapp Wood Album, I first applied Gesso on the cover and pasted a piece of patterned paper from Prima. The background was colored with Gelatos and all the cavas embellishments were colored with Gelatos and Heidi Swapp Color Shine.
I stamped the Surfacez inks on canvas and ribbon in Scarlet color, on prima flower in Caribbean and safari color, on button in black color, and on wood cloth pin in Berry color. They all look wonderful!The stamp I used here on this project were Tim Holtz cling rubber stamp, Simon Says clear stamp and Glitz clear stamp. My suggestion for the best result when using Surfacez Ink on these surfaces is appling a thin layer of Gesso before stamping if it is needed.
Oh, and don't be afraid of trying these multi-surface permanent inks becuase you can always clean it with Surfacez Cleaner. Surfacez cleaner is made to clean the Surfacez ink from stamps and any other solvent or water based inks as well.  Supply List:Gelatos

Hey, guys, I'd like to share two DT projects I made for Clearsnap this week. My first project featuring the fun stamp from Jimbo Lojik and the new NCAA licensed stamps from Clearsnap. As NCAA just kicked off the regular season, please join us to show your school spirit with our university themed stamps and other awesome products!
To start this project, I used the ColorBox® Art Screens to emboss the background of this tag. Another layer of background was stamped with Chalk Ink and Rollagraph Design Wheel. The University of Texas at Austin images were embossed using Top Boss Embossing Powder and Watermark Ink. You can also decorate banners, books, gift bags and more with exciting images from your favorite university.
The "Howdy" stamp from Jimbo Lojik (available on September 30, 2013) is perfect for the theme so I embossed and attached it on the tag. Jimbo Lojik has more hilarious stamp sets and all of them make me laugh.
If you are interested in the supply list, please check my post here at Clearsnap.
The second project is an altered box that I used Molding Mats and Magic Stamp to decorate box for my button collection. 

Happy Monday, my friends, hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Today, we have a new challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Embossing challenge - since it’s STAMPtember let's have something embossed on our projects. From dry embossed paper to creating a resist effect with clear embossing powder, extra fine embossing powder to melted UTEE in a pot there are many ways to emboss.
I was inspired to make a layout with some fun emobssed circles using Zing! embossing powder.
I love to make layouts for children since there are always many fun elements can be added on. The background here was made using Natalie's favorite colors. In the photo on this layout, Natalie was so happy and ready to go shopping. So I wanted to make this background a beautiful day.
