Seize the Stamp hop featuring PIgment Craft Co.

 

Hello crafty friends!  Michelle here and today is an exciting day as I am joining the rest of the Seize the Stamp Design Team over on Instagram for a hop featuring the new fabulous Pigment Craft Co. products in the shop.  Pigment Craft Co. is a fairly new company in the crafting/card making industry.  Their products are so fun and have a bit of whimsical feel to them.  They have recently introduced inks to their collection as well and they have a beautiful earthy feel to them.  Their products are also a bit different than everything else out there, which makes them so amazing!

I am grateful for everyday - Visible Image

 

Hello crafty friends!  Today I am back to share a card using one of the latest new releases from Visible Image. I used one of the fun new stencils called Seeing Stars Stencil.  This is a double sided stencil, meaning that it has 2 different designs on it.  The other design that this stencil has is a small check pattern.  It is really fun to use and really versatile too! 

Colour Challenge - Seize the Stamp

 

Happy February 1st everyone! Today marks the start of the first colour challenge at Seize the Stamp!  Every month there will be a new challenge with a brand new combination of gorgeous colours and will run for the entire month.  The best part, besides being able to play with perhaps colours you wouldn't normally, is that there are prizes!

Celebrate - Seize the Stamp and PinkFresh Studio

 

 

Hello crafty friends!  I am very excited to share with you as my first official post for Seize the Stamp.  Seize the Stamp is a lovely little online shop here in Switzerland and she carries alot of the popular North American paper crafting brands, which can be a bit hard to come by in Europe and especially here in Switzerland.  So it very exciting to be able to get them here now and even more so to be able to support a shop here in Switzerland.

Creative Coloring with Erum - Advanced Techniques - AECP

 

Today I am back for the next installment on my level 3 AECP courses.  For this class I did the Creative Coloring with Erum and oh my goodness...this class was amazing!  Erum is such an incredibly talented artist and her colouring skills are bar none!  I really really enjoyed taking this class and stepping up my skills with new techniques to add colour to images.

Demystifying Mixed Media - AECP

 

Welcome back crafty friends!  Today I have my project for the Demystifying Mixed Media class to share.  I find the whole world of mixed media is so mysterious and intriguing!  It makes you want to just dive right in...or at least for me it does.  So many amazing techniques and details you can use in and add to your work.  I really admire all of the incredible mixed media artists out there! 

Cards in Motion - AECP

 

Interactive cards are always so fun!  Who doesn't enjoy shaking a card filled with gorgeous sequins or a card that spins when you open it???  This next class in my level 3 AECP was Cards in Motion and it was all about interactive cards!  This class was taught by Ashley Tucker and she had so many fun and fabulous interactive cards....this class was definitely lots of fun!  She delved into the different types, from shaker cards to pop up cards and made them seem so easy and fool proof to make.  

Zentangle for Cardmakers - AECP

Welcome back crafty friends!  Today I have my project for the Zentangle for CardMakers class for my level 3 AECP. This class definitely didn't disappoint! It was taught by the incredibly talented Amber Rain-Davis and it was filled with so techniques anyone can do.  It was quit relaxing and a bit meditative too.  Some of the styles were a bit more advanced but they are all definitely beginner friendly in the world of Zentangle.  I was so inspired and had so much fun practicing, that I actually went and ordered a beginner Zentangle set to practice some more.
