Altered Tickets & Swaps

Hello Followers!

I've be volunteering over at Mini Album Scraps as a hostess to a few swaps.  Our newest swap is an Altered Ticket swap.  Sign-ups for the swap are open until the 15th of September.  If you would like to join the site and participate in swaps, which by the way is ALL FREE!!!!, click here, and join the site.

I have also created a video that shows how you can create tickets to alter if you don't have the Tim Holtz ticket die.


I hope you enjoy this little tutorial!!!

Happy Crafting!!!!

  1. Thanks for your great video, I love the voice of your little helper in the background. Great idea to use the Crop-a-dile to make them look like tickets. I recently made some tickets myslef and because it was raining heavily and at night, I didn't fancy going out to to my workshop get a hole punch, so instead I folded the ticket strip up and used my Tim Holtz heavy duty scissors to snip a tiny triangle off each of the four corners, it was super fast too as there were only the four cuts to make. Your idea for a regular ticket swap sounds fun too. Is it still on going and if so is it open to swappers around the world? Could you also please tell me which scoreboard you use, it looks a good and I like the idea of the built in little storage area.
    Warmest best wishes from across the miles in France

Danger ATC

This is an Artist Trading Card (ATC) that I created for the Diemond Dies' Design Team Call.  The background is a couple different mixed media techniques, mod podging tissue paper with lots of wrinkles in it and then stamping on top of it.  Then I used some Shimmerz Texturez to add even more texture and then some gray gesso is added in there too. I used some corrugated cardboard to add some texture and then I used the Tim Holtz Tattered Banners Die and Bat & Skull dies for my embellishments.   On the bat I covered it with haematite Inka Gold, buffed it and then adhered it with 3-D Dots.  The skull I gessoed, colored it with my Faber Castell Big Brush Pens and then used some Shimmerz Texturez to put the "cracks" on it. This is one of my favorite ATCs that I have ever made.  I hope you enjoyed it too!! Happy Crafting!!!!  

Time to Create a Unique View

This is an altered canvas that I created for Diemond Dies' Design Team call.  It was my first big mixed media project and I absolutely love how it turned out!!!! I got lots of different close up pics. I just love that clock piece in the corner! This view finder die is a must have, it was so much fun to use!  I cut it in black chipboard and then again in chipboard covered in white paper.  I then took the squares from the black one that I cut out and put them in the white one and it actually looks like a view finder disc!! Don't forget the sides of your canvases! So pretty! The arrow is pointing to the way to read the words for the title of the canvas, completely unintentional. Love those butterflies.  I got these in a swap but I know you can find them on Etsy! Well I hope you enjoyed my pics, if you have any questions please just ask.  As you will see in future posts I did end up making the team.

Frisky Melon!!

 I made this card for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog's Challenge Me Monday Contest!!  Yay!!  I started with a piece of pink cardstock cut at 5 1/2"x 8 1/2" and folded it in half for the base of my card.  This was from one of The Paper Company's value packs.  Then I cut a piece of black cardstock, also from The Paper Company, at 5 1/4"x 4" and used it as my first layer.  I attached this using my ATG gun. For my second layer I cut a piece of paper from the Colorbok Pattern Pack at 5"x 3 3/4".  I then wrapped a piece of grosgrain ribbon around it and secured it in the back using regular tape.  Then I attached the whole thing using my ATG gun.   I cut the watermelon at 4" using the "Stretch Your Imagination" cartridge with my Cricut Expression.  I used a black, pink and green paper, all were from The Paper Company value packs.  I attached it to the card using 3D-Dots. Then to finish off this card I added a My Pink St
