Art Doll Mixed Media


Hello all you awesome crafters out there. I am excited to share my creation I created for Gypsy Should Laser Cuts with you all!


*Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts provided me with some product to create this project. This post also contains affiliate links. The opinions I share are solely my own.*

I created this mixed media piece and had a blast making it. 
 I used stamps from Altered Pages and this really cool Xyron sticker maker.


I started with the background and using lots of stencils and paints to create. I painted my chipboard pieces with gesso and Distress Paints. Then pinned the arms and legs with brads.




 I stamped the images and cut them out. I added the hourglass to my House Jewelry piece using the Xyron sticker maker and sealed it with glossy accents.  


Then I added some chit chat stickers to finish the piece off. 

I hope you found some inspiration today and come back again for a visit soon!

Colorful ATC's


I have some fun ATC's to share. YES I made some fun bright and colorful ATC's for Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts and used colors that my daughter picked out. 


*Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts provided me with some product to create this project. This post also contains affiliate links. The opinions I share are solely my own.*

All three ATC's got a coat of gesso and then my chipboard did as well. 


Then I added some paints and mica powders and stamping. My daughter just loves pink and thought the green was cool. Then some blues for my favorite color and orange because, well I don't remember why she grabbed it, but he did so I used it.


Then I added some Tim Holtz rub-ons on the punch element pieces and added a layer of cardboard behind the bottom and top pieces to give some dimension. 


Then we added the flowers and finished them off with a rhinestone for their centers. 

I hope you found some inspiration here today and would like to say thank you for stopping by.

Sweet Adventure Layout




Hello everyone. I have a new layout that I created for Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts to share with you. 

*Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts provided me with some product to create this project. This post also contains affiliate links. The opinions I share are solely my own.*


So of course I prettied up my background to start with strips of paper, watercolor paints, sprays, and modeling paste. I left almost all my chipboard plain this time except for the seashells. 


I love the Word Ribbon because it is etched down to the word sticks out. 


Now my seashells got a light coat of gesso, a little spray dabbed off, and some glass beads gel. I love the texture it gives the shells. 


I had so much fun playing with my chipboard pieces to create this layout so I hope you have a blast creating too.

Prima: Paper, Color Bloom Sprays, Watercolor Pies, Stencil, Modeling Paste, White Gesso, Matte Gel, and Flowers

I created my layout based on the Prima BAP Challenge

Mermaid Tags

Hello everyone! Welcome to another day of fun creating! I created some new tags for Gyspy Soul Laser Cuts.

I decided to play with some mermaids to get you all in the mood for Summer.


*Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts provided me with some product to create this project. This post also contains affiliate links. The opinions I share are solely my own.*

I created my own tags out of Prima Salvage paper but the store as a great selection of tags for you to play with. Check them out HERE!


My mermaids got a coat of gesso and then I used some Prima Oil Pastels around the edges.


The background got some splashes of watercolor from the Decadent Pies and stitching. 


Each tag was finished with flowers, bling, and a sentiment. 




These were so fun to make and a quick creation to squeeze in while getting ready for graduation parties and events. 

Don't forget to come back and see what the rest of the team is creating!
