Christmas Gifts for my Family

I will post pictures later today but I was inspired by my little sister in creating some really cool Christmas gifts that are handmade by me. I made coasters and trivets using some Stampin’ Up! stamps I had and Stazon ink. They really turned out cute. I’m going to also make (I will post these as well) some homemade ornaments that Tim Holtz had made with clear glass ball ornaments and Alcohol Inks. He looked really awesome my first one didn’t turn out so good but I think I know what I did wrong so I am going to try again.

Homemade Glimmer Mist

A card I practiced on making my own homemade glimmer mist. I used a few drops of butterscotch alcohol ink from Ranger, one small little scoop of perfect pearls in copper also by Ranger and 91% alcohol mixed in a mini mister. (This was for the goldish color) For the blue I used blue pearl x, stream blue alcohol ink, a few drops of a blue mettalic ink (also by Ranger) and 91% alcohol in a mist bottle. Used both colors on the paper flower too. The other stamped images are from Stampin Up!

Hybrid Christmas Card

I made this card with a digital kit by a designer name Joann from 1068 Designs. I printed it out and mounted everything on cream cardstock and embellished with my glittler pen.

Hybrid Halloween Scrapbook

So I bought this really cute Halloween book from Jessica Sprauge this past Friday for $1. Every Friday she has a Photoshop Friday special and this is what I got. Its not finished but it is ready for pictures and embellishments. She sends it digitally, I printed it on cardstock and then mounted the front and back covers on chip board. I really am happy with the results.
