Snowman Wood Slice Ornaments or Tags

So as I was making and or preparing these wood slices I also created some Halloween versions too. 

These Snowman wood slices used Stampin Up ink and Stamps of Life stamps.

I am using Arteza wood slices from Amazon.
White craft smart paint.
Wipe down your wood slices before starting any project.

I have one coat on the left and two coats on the right.

Matte Finish modge podge one layer after the two coats of white are dry.


Some Archival black ink for the main snow man parts.

Bring out those old stash blocks that you had before stamping tools were invented.

I stamped the back as well.
I was impatient because my wood slices are not dry yet.
So I placed on a tissues to obsorb some of the extra ink.

An aray of colors from Stampin Up -
Tangelo Twist
Chocolate Chip
Cherry Cobbler
Garden Green
Bashful Blue
Real Red
Midnight Muse

Stamps of Life stamp sets -

I also took out side and used some Modge Podge sealer spray in the matte finish.


Halloween Wood Ornaments/Tags with Vinyl/Paint #1 and #2

 I decided to get a little crafty with Paint, Vinyl, and Wood Slices.

Because dry time is a factor I decided to do Christmas and Halloween so that when I am ready the Christmas one will be dry and ready to decorate and the Halloween ones I have completed.  A win win I see.


I started off with some basic black paint from my stash.
This is a craft smart acrylic pain in black.

Some metal dies from my stash.
These are mainly for paper crafts but the possibilities are endless now.

Because I am just getting into Vinyl I order some inexpensive sheets from Amazon.
They are working just fine for right now but I know sometimes that is not the case with all Vinyl.

I punched out the negative areas with my poker tool.
Pealed off the backer and lightly placed on my wood slice.
I used my scissors to snip off the excess right where the paint ended on the wood slice.

I used a tool to help smooth and press everything down.
Going slow and light presser then once adhered down at a good point I then applied more pressure to ensure the bond and get rid of air bubbles.

Color Layering Beach Card

 I decided to go very simple today with these two cards.  These are basicly a one layer card with just stamping and embossing.

Hero Arts color layering stamp sets CM317 and CM316

Using my Hampton Art stamp positioner to determine the placement of the water and sentiment.

Decided to go with Oxide inks because they give a very smooth and full look.
tumbled glass is the first layer

peacock feathers for the second layer

final layer is mermaid lagoon

some shimmer watercolor from my stash for the sand
this pallet was very inexpensive and an off brand

Vintage Photo paint for some sand specks
do not forget to cover your top half so the rest of the project will not have sand specks

Speckled Egg painted with some water for the sky

heat dry on low before stamping
this is a 5$ board from Target $1 Spot

Hero Arts White embossing powder for the clouds
paired with white pigment ink

Waffle Flower A2 layering dies

small blending brush from Taylored Expressions
Mermaid Lagoon ink just around the edge

Stampin Up dimensionals to pop up the main panel

Mini Slim Line Die Cut Rainbow Card

 I decided to bus out my Mini Slim Line card dies and create, I also used some Rainbow, Sun, and Cloud Dies as well.  All the dies are from Stamps of Life including the white (Powder Sugar) and black (Licorice) card stock.

The colored card stock is from Stampin Up in Real Red, Tangelo Twist, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Gumball Green, Soft Sky, and Elegant Eggplant.

My neutral under the Rainbow and word dies is Fig card stock from Bazzill Paper Basics.


art glitter glue has been a go to for me, purchased from Amazon.

I layered the nested dies in the rainbow and cut out a square of each card stock, 
this way I could get four cards.

Cutting the clouds in half got me more use from them.
Washi Tape on the back and some Dimensional adhesive.

Same with the cloud and sun.

I decided to go with the Fig card stock as well instead of Vellum.

I used some stamps from MFT and Stamps of Life.
I choose some water brush markers from my stash.

Versa Fine Black Onyx ink for my sentiment stamping.
