Altered CD Case for AFTCM Swap.

Odds & Ends

Here are some random projects I've created this past month.  An altered wooden spoon, Faces in the Crowd ATCs, a card I made for my Mother and little gift card holders made from toilet tissue rolls.

MOO Cards

 

Participated in a "MOO Card" swap on the AFTCM yahoo group.  MOO cards are a 1" x 3" sized piece.  I think they are originally known as mini business cards in Japan.  And I think "MOO Cards" is a brand.  I used a crystal lacquer type product to glaze over colored dress form. 

 



From one thing to another.

A couple months back our church hosted a dinner and talent show which included physical and visual talents.  I set up a display of items I had recycled and altered, such as; 3D movie glasses, formula cans, Crystal Light containers, file folders, mint tin cans, a lunch bag, toilet paper tubes and an old license plate frame.

Folks were pretty surprised at how nice and useful some projects can be after it's original use.

Goosebumps resist class.

My friend John Petersen who works for Imagine Crafts (Tukineko) came and did a wonderful mini-class for my stamp club using the Goosbumps resist sprays.   It was a simple project resulting in a nice finished background piece.

Randomly spritz lightly over the piece of cardstock leaving untouched areas.  When dry (dries fast) use felt or linen topped stamp pad in a few colors and rub it across the card stock.  Use a paper towel to wipe off the excess ink. Spritz lightly again if you want more color depth.  You can also add color to your card before spritzing the first time if you don't want such a stark white background.  This product is available in both the big box craft stores and comes in a gloss and matte finish.

Here is a finished card using the piece I create. I used Ranger's Archival black ink to stamp over the background.

Here is my April tag of the month along side Tim's. Not owning any of the Distress Paints that were featured on Tim's tag, it really was a challenge to create.  I used, Ranger paint daubers and distress ink pads to create my background.
