Altered project: Distressed tea canister

My favorite drink is 4C Green Tea and recently I began buying these tall canisters instead of the single packets. I liked the plastic canister so much I decided to take the labels off and try to customize it with alcohol inks and paper.

I added alcohol inks with the Tim Holtz distressing tool (red pepper, eggplant, moss) and once dry i streaked it with the felt pad itself. It felt a little like finger painting and it went on perfectly smooth.



A few scraps of patterned paper and sticker letters...

I added an epoxy sticker to the lid and VOILA!
Patterned Paper: Stampin Up DS Berry Bliss
Letters: American Crafts thickers, American Crafts LAX
Sticker: Marah Johnson epoxy

Mini Book: Love Struck




The Marah Johnson stickers and paper inspired me to create this mini book for my niece. She is in that GOTH stage that some teenagers are so fond of. I also loved the fact I could incorporate butterflies into the pages. Stampin Up's on board bitty book was the perfect size for this surprise gift.

Cards: Krafty Bride

As you can see I am still in love with the SU SHE'S ALL THAT stamp set. It is so versatile and detailed. For this card, I used SU chocolate chip craft ink spot so I could emboss the image. It gave it a wonderful stippled texture. The cardstock is SU Kraft 80 lb cardstock, and the patterned paper from my scraps. Again I used Marah Johnson epoxy stickers. Love them!

Cards: Tres Chic - Love



When I saw the new Stampin'Up TRES CHIC background stamp I knew I had to have it. This is one of the cards I created with it. I used SU kraft cardstock, chocolate chip craft ink spot, embossing powder, hodgepodge hardware buckle in aged copper, and turquoise grosgrain ribbon. The yellow cardstock is Bazzill, and the epoxy sticker is Creative Imaginations (Marah Johnson).
