SI Weekly DT and LOC #43

This project was created for the challenge blog Crafting By Designs for the Dog Days of Summer Challenge.  Smeared Ink was so awesome to sponsor this challenge and some of the Smeared Ink Design Team was asked to give some inspiration.

This project is also going to be my Smeared Ink Weekly Design Team project and will also be entering this into the current Left Of Center challenge, #43 Alter It.

I have made a little 'days of the week' book to show what my children have been doing the last few weeks of summer before school starts.  I have used Smeared Ink original digital stamp set called Stitchy Situation.  The pages were altered from coasters snagged from a restaurant.

Stitching in the Deets

Images
Stitchy Situation set was printed out onto Whisper White card stock.
Each was colored in with Blendabilities.
Each has Ranger Black Accents on their hair.
Each has a small Pearl Jewel for the pin top in bellybuttons.
Silver marker for accents on eyes.
When dried and finished, each was fussy cut and then adhered to its day.

Pages
Used computer fonts to print out days onto copy paper.
Adhered copy paper to each side of coasters.
Sponged all edges and sides with inks.
Used fine tip Black Sharpie to make stitching on both sides of pages and to write in days of the week around/under images.
Sponged all the colors used on front and back pages.
Small Pearl Jewels on front under heading.

Crop-a-dile to make holes in corners.
Binder ring, 1", to hold together.
All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

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.

CLOSE UP OF TOP

SIDE 1

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.

Doily 

Sewing pattern for layer on top of Doily.

SI Weekly DT, Junk Funk Aug, & HDH

Got at least one project done today.  Where in the heck did the summer go?  Well I guess that just means that Halloween is just around the corner, heheeeee...

I have for you today my Smeared Ink Weekly Design Team Project.  I have used a Smeared Ink image called Smokey.  Smokey was a FREE image that I received from a past challenge over at the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  Sorry, he is not available for sale.

I was inspired to create this for some other challenges.  The first is the August Junk Funk, on the Smeared and Smudged Forum, which you have to use toothpicks in some way on your project.  The next is a challenge for Haunted Design House Macrabe Monday.  You have until Sunday to get your Ferocious Furballs in.  You MUST see what the Design Team has created, wow!

This bad ass bunny is either going to be a box top or a hang of some sort.

Puffin' On the Deets

Smokey and saying were printed onto copy paper.
Saying is from Smeared Ink digital set called Love Lil' Grumpies.

Image was inked with black fine tip Sharpie, shaded in and cig-ie end colored with  Blendabilities. He is fussy cut and adhered to background.

Background is stamped with Smeared Ink stamps from a Rubber Club Past Offering set called Chick's Dig Guns (Nov 2013).  Silver Encore ink was used.

Random words in saying were cut out and adhered to give a bit more texture.
Background layer is outlined with Blendability.

Black layer is Black Gesso applied to cut cereal box.

Base or bottom layer is also cut cereal box.  It was punched with paper piercer in the upper left and lower right corners.
Toothpicks were broken in half and inserted into punched holes.
Entire base was spray painted with Krylon Looking Glass Paint, to give a metallic look.
All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.
