Please be sure to leave a comment for the Design Team members, we love hearing your feedback and hope to get you inspired.

For September the DT had to work with the theme GRUMPIES.

This month the Smeared Ink Design Team had the theme VINTAGE.

Please be sure to stop by each blog and share your thoughts.  

We have some wonderful projects for you today and to get you all in the crafting mood! 

To see more fab work by our team please check out the free Smeared and Smudged Forum.  We would love to see you there.

I have created a vintage box with a great little topper that I have altered from one of my kids old toys.  I believe that this was from a Happy Meal from McDonalds. 

The Smeared Ink sets I have used are:

Circus Procession Digital Set

Jack (May 2014) - Rubber Club Past Offerings

Carnies (Dec 2013) - Rubber Club Past Offerings

This project will also be entered into A Step In The Dark blog challenge:

 Challenge #8 - Anything Goes 

CLOSE UP OF TOP

SIDE 1 

BACK

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.

REBECCA

The last week of July, holy moly how the time flies!  Hope you are having a great time blog hopping this morning.  You should have just arrived from a super teamie, Kapree.  Up next with another fab creation is Creepy Glowbugg.  We all love feedback, so leave a comment and let us know how wonderful (or un-wonderful) we are doing.  

This month the theme was MONOCHROME.  Hum....and another hum....but it all came together once my new sets of rubber stamps arrived.  Get in on the fun and receive a sheet of Smeared Ink original rubber stamps from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club.  

I have altered a plastic case to make a little box to keep shells or jewelery, or what-not in.  I have used the set The Abyss (June 2014) and one of my favorite images, the larger seahorse.

More details below and have a great Smeared Ink Design Team Blog Hop!

Divin' for the Deets

Main Image

Seahorse was stamped onto Whisper White card stock with Versa Mark ink.  Pool Party Embossing Powder over image and heat set.

Colored in image with markers and Aqua Painter.

Covered finished image with Crystal Effects.

Once image was dry, used sponges and three different hues of blue inks to sponge background.

Wiped off excess ink off of image and re-stamped image again with Staz-On Azure ink.

Spritzed with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz.

Adhered image to top of finished box with Crystal Effects (CF). CF also re-applied over entire box front.

Box

Alcohol ink and pouncer Holtz tool to apply color to plastic.

I made glue dots with glue gun and silicone mat.

Placed cooled glue dots onto lid and box bottom.

Sprinkled 3 types of beads to help fill in the small spaces.

Smeared Ink Design Team Monthly Blog Hop

Lots of madness, craziness, and insanity going on in the month of March and what better way to celebrate than Smeared Ink style!

March Madness is the theme for this month's Design Team project.  Two of my fellow teamies were able to join me in the Blog Hop this month.   Please leave some love for each and let them know what you think of their madness!

SHONI - you are here @ Crafty Inknik

I have made a mini quote album from the lid of a Prego jar.  I have used a Smeared and Smudged Forum March Junk Funk Challenge to be part of this project as well.  I have found some great quotes on madness and insanity that I hand wrote and placed on the punched pages.  I hope to keep adding quotes I find.

 

Deets of Madness

My lid came from a Prego jar which I used Black Gesso around the edges.

Top image is from a Smeared Ink digital paper set called Poe Boy.  Printed out, punched and adhered to top of lid.  Crystal Effects over entire top image.

I used a 2 1/2" circle punch for each of the pages.  Pages are double sided, random designer paper and card stock.  

 

Each side is stamped with a Past Rubber Club Offering, Morte (June 2013 / Rick St. Dennis).

White Baker's Twine to hold it all together along with Sticky Strip.

Pages fold up and fit perfect inside the lid.

                                       Quotes

             "In a mad world, only the mad are sane."

                           - Akira Kurosawa

"If you think anyone is sane you just don't know enough about them."

- Christopher Moore

"I have felt the wind on the wing of madness."

- Charles Baudelaire

"I become insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."

- Edgar Allen Poe

"You're given a little spark of madness.  You must use it."

- Robin Williams
