Hardcore Hardware challeng

Happy Thursday blog world!
today there is a new challenge over at StampInsanity and it is called Hardecore Hardware and I made this last weekend and have been so excited to share it with the world

Its an altered Altoids tin....I painted it purple then splattered some white pearl on it, then I took my Nicholette image and colored her and cut her out then put some utee on it and heated it then stuck it in the freezer then took it out and bent it so it cracked, I then made 5 lil cards to go inside, they say "just a little note" I used allot of glimmer mist so the picture didn't turn out so well... the flowers were all punched out of book paper from Paper Maddness (link on sidebar) then I glimmer misted them too and added a lil jewel.....

thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the other fab lady's on the hop

I took one of the Occasions Li'l Grumpies and colored her and made all her accessories pink. put her on a pink flower paper and there I have it! I stamped the words that also came with the set in pink, so ya if you didn't get it...this card is very pink...yuck! but I know she'll love it!

12th day of Smeared Ink Christmas / angel tin

Welcome to the final day of the 12 days of Christmas!
I wanted to make something super cool but I had like zero time... so this will have to do

I altered an Altoids tin to hold a key chain I made for a Christmas present.


I used an angel from Smeared Ink's symbology of Angels set, I stamped him on some clear plastic and glued some material on the tin then attached it with glue and brads, and on the inside I stamped a senti right on the material. the domino was only stamped nothing to fancy I wanted to keep it masculine but still cool....
the senti and watch stamp came from CTMH

so wadda ya think not to shabby huh?

well I hope you had as much fun as I did on this hop...there are some very talented ladys here! if you have missed anything be sure to check past posts on everyone they are so great! I know I got allot of inspiration...
I entered this tin into the One Stitch at a time challenge blog - anything goes
I would have loved to enter it into more...but I was to late...its already midnight...oh well maybe next time...

have a very Merry Christmas!!!

Sybology of Angels Neverending

On the Smeared and Smudged forum there is a section for Tutorials, and I found one called Kustom Kulture Neverending Card by Terra...and so I had to try it out and here is what I came up with

fold 1

Fold 2fold 3fold 4

I made my own paper with acrylic paint, and a glitter on one, the words from the symbology of angels stamp set on the other, the images were stamped and a little color was added, and their wings were painted with glittery nail polish, and tried to use all my angels from the symbology of angels stamp from smeared Ink, the one I didn't get to use I'll put in a card...hopefully for tomorrow...don't want anyone feeling left out;) in the first picture those angels were stamped on some clear plastic so the paper could be seen. and the last photo those boxes were left a little plain in case I wanted to write a message to whomever I gave this card to.

this card was so fun to make but even funner to play with....Hopefully I'll play enough that it will lay flat and I can update the pictures....as I'm typing this my husband is freaking out he thinks its so cool! and now he wont give it back:(
