Hello everyone. I am back and I am on a roll with making mixed media inspired cards this month. I am back with my third card where I focused on using the Vellum and the Embossing Powders that came in this month's kit to create the card.
First I stamped with Embossing Ink on the Vellum. Be sure to wipe off the excess powder before you take the heat gun to it. I just love the way this gold embossing powder pops.
Then I colored the back side of the vellum with distress oxides inks. I made another set off camera to create a 3D type of effect.
I trimmed out the second flower set and glue it down onto the vellum.
Finally, I hit it with my favorite splatter technique and the card is done.
Welcome back everyone. Liv here and I am on a roll making cards this month. Sometimes, I just have to follow what inspires me and I think this month's Mixed Media kit is perfect to make some really unique cards.
So first up, I pulled out some of the Yupo papers from my stash to use with the Alcohol Inks. I went ahead and combined the colors to create the background for the card.
Now alcohol inks can dry pretty fast so before it was fully dry, I took out my gilded flakes and spread it to stick to the tacky parts of the ink. I brushed off the excess and love the gold residue it left on the project.
Next I trimmed the paper down and placed it into one of my Embossing folders...I know you have some of those in your stash so pull them out and dust them off.
I used some ink and more alcohol ink to make the embossed area
Once I was done with that, I used one of the gorgeous chipboard pieces made at Tres Jolie to ink up and emboss in a matching gold color
Then I assembled the card all together. I did layer the embossed panel onto the vellum and then attached it all to a card base.
I hope everyone enjoyed this project. My video also goes through the sets of making a grungy but beautiful Mixed Media and Fall inspired card.
Welcome back everyone. Liv here and I am loving the November collection. Fall is my favorite time of the year. For this project i am using items from the Mixed Media kitto create a card.
Now you can definitely use alcohol inks on vellum but it very important that you tape it down and allow it to fully dry before you starting using it.
I tape it down I just use washi tape and it holds very well. Next go ahead and apply the alcohol inks. I so love fall colors and this month's alcohol inks set is perfect for that.
Once I let it dry for about 24 hours, I then went back and used some Spellbinders dies I have recently gotten and cut out multiple leaves.
Then I glue them down on a white card base using Art Glitter glue. Once they were glued down I had to add some splatters cause it was just too much white for me.
And the final step was to add the sentiment and then add some Nuvo drops.

Hey everyone. Liv here and I am back with these Spooktacular collections for the month of October. I am huge Halloween fan so couldn't resist getting all of the kits this month. For this project i am using items from the Mixed Media kit and theTag and Cards kitto create an art journal page.
First up I sprayed a page in my art journal with the Mica sprays from the Tres Jolie Mixed Media kit. I used my heat gun to dry off the pages.
Then I used one of the sprays and placed it on a stencil to use the stencil as a "stamp" for the background.
I felt the background was getting too dark so I used the Distress Oxide crayons from the kit through the stencil to bring in a brighter color and to add texture.
I then took one of my resin pieces out of my stash and sprayed it with the mica sprays and used the waxed crayons to add a more rusty finish to it.
For the elements on the page, I fussy cut some pieces from the card/tag set, combined it with the rice paper and some die cuts from my stash.
Finished it off with some splatters and then my project was done.
Hope you all enjoyed this project. Be sure to check out the kits for this month as well as the videos that myself and all my amazing teammates create
Hey everyone. Liv here and I am back with these Spooktacular collections for the month of October. I am huge Halloween fan so couldn't resist getting all of the kits this month. For this project i am using items from the Mixed Media kit.
Now it seems in some spooky twists of events, Dana and I, channeled a similar spooktastic creation. For the first step I sprayed the base of the canvas with one of the Mica sprays from this month's and a Distress Oxide spray.
Then I used some rice papers I have in my stash and glued it down to the surface. Since I did not dry it, it already colored through the paper. In order to lighten it a bit, I used the less dyed pieces of the rice paper and glue it to the top of the rice paper base.
Once I had that down, I had an old cardboard lid to a box and decided to spray the sides with the kit's mica sprays and then used one of the images from the rice papers included in this month's kit on the lid.
I took some of the fibers I had in my stash which was originally a beige color and sprayed it with the Mica powders to give it a more gray color.
Then I took out the crayons that came in this month kit and used it to color the chipboard pieces from Tres Jolie. Quick tip here, one you color the image, you then blend it in to create an almost wax like look to the chipboard.
Finally, I glued all the pieces down and my project was done.
I hope you enjoyed this project and can't wait to see what you are making with this month's kits.
Hey everyone. Liv here and I am back with these Spooktacular collections for the month of October. I am huge Halloween fan so couldn't resist getting all of the kits this month. For this project i am using items from the Scrapbook kit and the Mixed Media kit.
First up I used the papers from the scrapbooking kit to cover the wood board. I inked the edges up with the crayons and Mica Sprays that came in the kit.
Next I inked up and layers other papers from the Scrapbook kit to create more dimension.
Then I took out on of the chipboard from the haunted house album and covered it with the gorgeous rice paper that comes in the Mixed media kit. I then inked the edges up with the Mica spray.
I used some of the Tres Jolie Scrolls and sprayed them with the Mica sprays. Can I say these sprays are so gorgeously sparkly!! I just love it.
then finally I glued it all together and here is my spooky Halloween decor sign. I hope you all enjoyed the video. If interested in joining in our challenges see our inspiration board and can't wait to see what you make.
