Altered Clipboard using Spellbinders die templates and Glimmer Mists....

Altered Clipboards are really easy to create.  This is one of my favorite projects.  I used Spellbinders die template, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, 7 Gypsies patterned paper, old book pages and Crafty Secrets postcard ephemera. I love the fall feel of it.   

I took 7gypsies patterned paper, traced the clipboard on the backside of the paper and cut out the shape.  Then I applied a medium layer of mod podge to the clipboard and used my brayer to smooth out the paper.  (I stacked a few books and my Wizard on top of the clipboard for about an hour while it dried.)

I sprayed Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist to old book pages, edges of the ribbon and edges of the 7Gypsies paper.  I also applied Glimmer Mist to the Crafty Secrets Postcard Ephemera.  I love how thick the postcard is and that it already had adhesive on the back.

Funky Technique I used:  I also sprayed the tree branch with a few layers of Glimmer Mist and then let the buds soak in a puddle of Glimmer Mist overnight on my non stick craft sheet.  I love the depth of color and sheen it created.

Spellbinders die templates I used : S4-227 Pumpkins; S4-213 Fleur De Lis Borderabilities® Petite; S4-219 Nested Poinsettia; I2-1009 Flourish Impressabilities™.

Funky Technique I used:  I love using the Letterpress technique on the Pumpkins die cuts , using The Flourish Impressabilities™ embossing ink and Sparkle N Sprinkle, Copper Embossing Powder and heat setting it. I then cut/embossed with the Pumpkins die template.

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  Thanks for stopping by :)

Gimme a smooch.....

 

Clearsnap makes fluid chalk in and the great applicator that works beautifully on Spellbinders die templates.  They are a staple in my scrapbook room.  Check out the new Smooch!!! Aren't they just gorgeous?  Love the colors, the metallic sheen, the packaging!  They paint on with the applicator brush and will blend as well.  Ooohhhh can't wait to start playing with these!

Fabulous Spellbinders Design Team Retreat.....

I just really can't stop talking about how much fun I had with Spellbinders in Pheonix.  Thank you Spellbinders for the amazing retreat.  I learned a ton, laughed a lot and barely got a wink of sleep!  We got a very generous assortment of dies, a new wizard and the new bag and die case!  Woohoo!  We also got an huge assortment of product from some very generous companies.  Here's a few pics I borrowed from Janine, as I didn't have my camera handy.

 

We all seemed to really connect.  I'm sure I've made some new friends for life.  After I caught up on my sleep, I feel rejuvenated and energized.  I've been trying to organize the goodies I brought back with me...and more are coming in the mail!
