RnRAugS&SF and SoSS #15

Lots of pics on this project.  A mini family album inspired by the Rock N' Rolla August Challenge and Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

Vintage seems to be the theme this week so I will roll w/ it!  On the Smeared and Smudged Forum the Rock N' Rolla Challenge this month is the video The Fox by Ylvis.  It features lots of people dressed as animals or have animal heads.  Found some fabulous photo shop images of vintage images with animal heads on dressed up bodies.  

I found so many and wanted to include all the images.  So a mini family album tutorial was just what I came up with.  K is for Kraft - Challenge #15 is offered over at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers and just perfect for this project.

Get ready for lots of pics.  I did end up moving the "f" from one of the pictures because it was being covered by the lid.

 Challenge #8 - Anything Goes

SIDE 2

Hurry, Hurry, Hurry for the Deets

Digital stamps from Cirus were resized and printed out onto Very Vanilla card stock.

Mixture of inks, water, and alcohol inks to add aging to images, randomly on box, tickets, ribbon, cloths pin, bakers twine, watch trinket, and doily.

Images were fussy cut, sponged with inks around edges and then adhered to finish box.

Box

Box was made with WeR Memory Keepers Gift Box Punch Board.  It measures 4" x 4" x 4".

Paper is from Me & My Big Ideas.

Gold Encore ink for stamped stars.

Cajun Craze ink for words.

All edges are sponged with ink.

Alcohol ink for random sploches.

Gold Smooch Spritz on all sides and top.

Topper Body

Found a great tutorial on Split Coast Stampers using foil papers to make chipboard or 3D items vintage.  It called for foil paper already w/ the sticky stuff on the back, which I did not have.  I used average foil from my kitchen and sticky strip.

Toy was covered with sticky strip and cut up foil pieces.

Black Gesso over entire covered toy.  Let dry.

Holtz Alocohol inks (Butterscotch & Latte) and Blending Solution with sponge over entire toy.  This helped take off some of the Gesso and color the foil.

Added some Lava Red Inka Gold Metallic Rub for a bit more color.

Head is a digital stamp resized and printed twice and fussy cut.

Adhered together, sponged around edges, used alcohol inks to give a bit of color, and then Crystal Effects.

Extras

Collar is Chantilly Crochet Trim Ribbon (retired).

Metal button is a brad from stash.

Cloths pin has washi tape and was inked and sponged.

Tickets are from stash and inked up and distressed.

Safety pin is from stash.

Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine which was inked.

Metal Clock from Tea Time Trinkets (retired) was also inked.

Doily 

Sewing pattern for layer on top of Doily.   

All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Smudgy Antics Fire and Ice Challenge - DT Project

Today starts a new two week challenge at Smudgy Antics.

The theme is Fire and Ice.

Lets see what you can come up with, we would love to have you join us.

Be sure to check out all the inspiration, because there are some awesomely amazing projects up.

I went off the path a little on my project for this challenge by focusing on the Ice part.  

Some heat was involved, meaning a heat gun. 

I just received the Gross Anatomy digi set and have been having waaaayyy to much fun with it.

Don't worry, you will see the Fire part of this challenge next week.

My project is a Freezer made from the new Wood Mount Cases by Stampin' Up!.  It also doubles as a Post It Note Holder.
