Craft Stamper Magazine (January 2017)

The newest addition of  Craft Stamper Magazine is out now is shops and

Celebration Stencilled Star Wall Hanging - Joggles DT

Today over on the Joggles Blog I have a fun home decor item to share. Originally, I thought I would make a Christmas wall hanging but as the holidays will be over before my blog post is shared, I decided to use the star stencil for a celebration wall hanging in patriotic colors.  Of course you can personalize it for any occasion such as a birthday, graduation, or new baby.  I had a fabulous time using a Joggles Shooting Star Stencil with a variety of inks and glimmer mists.  Come along  to the Joggles Blog as I show you step by step how I did it.

Rosette Paper-Chain Advent Countdown Calendar - Rinea Design Team

Hi gals,

I'm so excited to share my second post for the Rinea Design Team. I have created a simple advent countdown calendar for December using their fabulous metallic paper foil.  Rinea Foil is perfect to use for this project because it is sturdy and double sided. This is a quick and easy project that you can have the children help to make for the holiday season.  Cut a single loop from the chain each day of December as your family counts down until Christmas Day.

You can find the complete tutorial today on the Rinea Blog.

Rinea Foil is imported from Germany and is made up of two thin layers of colorful aluminium foil with a sheet of paper sandwiched between them. This creates paper-like sturdiness and stiffness with the shininess and malleability of foil. Having paper-like characteristics makes it ideal for 3-dimensional crafts, as well as, embossing and die-cutting. However it is bent or folded, it will maintain the shape without crinkling the foil. Rinea foil comes in ten color combinations including bold, pastel, and metallic colors with two textures. Glossy and embossed finishes give you lots of options to create.

Small Recycled Gift Boxes - Rinea Design Team

Let me tell you about the new Design Team I am on.  The company is called Global Crafting and specializes in a beautiful metallic crafting material known as paper foil.  Rinea foil is an amazing paper foil that can be cut, folded, punched, die cut, torn, painted, and it keeps its shape without wrinkles or tears.

Here is my first project featuring Rinea double sided metallic foil.  I recycled some clear packaging and covered it using Rinea red/gold foil. I embellished the lid with a rosette of glitter washi tape and ribbon. These little boxes are perfect to hold holiday candies to be given to the endless list of people that touch your life like neighbors, secretaries, mail man, doctors, teachers etc.
