Past Swap Items...

Beautiful wooden box painted by Vicki in 97 I think it was...

Bottom edge of an apron painted by Melinda Frewin...in 98 I think...the design goes all along the bottom border..and I still use this apron today...I love it...it hangs in my kitchen...
From an ornament swap by PBO 1997...wish I could remember her name...those are the initials on the bottom...I love this little acorn...I used to use it on my Christmas tree, now it hangs on an old brass piece on the buffet in the dining room...

This is my beautiful Pear ornament from Melinda Frewin...it hangs with the acorn above...



This piece is from 2001...from Lyn...I love this cd ornament...we had a cd ornament swap...and we each said what our favorite season, or holiday was...and our partner painted us something accordingly...mine is fall...and I love tis little guy...he as always hung in my creative space...




This was from 1997 again...I love birds, birdwatcing, bird feeding, etc...and again...our parnters painted us something that was personal and special...Barb Ann is the name on the piece...she sits on top of my china cabinet, along with other bird stuff...




This beautiful piece, has no name and I do not remember who it was from...I think it was 97 or 98...cannot remember for sure...its a small wooden tray...again...my favorite season is fall...so my partner painted it special for that season...
All of these swap items are from an AOL Decorative Painting Group I was on for years and years...Some of the best gals and we had a blast sharing thru our swaps, our chat room was always busy with chatter...and just inspiring each others creativity...






Mini boxes and coaster book

These are my little snowman head boxes I painted this week...I base coated the box lids in navy blue (FA) and then using a scruffy brush pounced on two coats of white for the snowman faces...I added the detail freehand...

The idea for these mini box snowman faces came from Jamie Mills Price website...I looked at hers and used it for inspiration to paint them...
This was awesome...I got a RAK from Lynn Circe...oh my goodness...4 beautiful coasters she painted and sent my...plus two plain ones...these are not the traditional 4x4 square coasters I have been used to working with...they are more like 3.5 x 4...The flowers are so pretty...and I love Hydrangeas...I decided I wanted to turn them into mini books to share photos in...


I was so pleased with how the little book turned out, can't wait to get the other one made...I used dark blue cardstock for my pages...Thanks so much Lynn...I will treasure my little books...

Painting, old and new...

This is an old painting I did, early to mid 90's...unfortunately, I did not put the year on the back...but I did quite a few large paintings and gave them as gifts that year...this one I kept...and just found it amongst more of my packed up stuff...its on a 16x20 canvas panel...
More pins from chipboard...I made most of these between yesterday and this morning...these little things are so much fun to make, I cant wait to start wearing them to work...


This was another old treasure...early to mid 90's...dang it...no date, so cannot remember exactly when I painted it...I saw a pic in a painting mag...dont even remember which one...and I did my own thing with it...its 8x10 painted on 1/4 inch birch plywood...I also made my dice and game pieces...This had been packed up at my moms house for years...we found it, when we were packing her up to move her and then I lost it amongst, all my other packed stuff...and found it yesterday while plundering again...I really need to plunder thru my own stuff more often...I dont know for sure what I even own anymore...

Not sure if you can tell from this pic, the little dice and snowman game piece...I used different colored embroidery floss scarves on the snowmen and added toothpick ends for the carrot noses...

Painted Mini Boxes...

I like to paint little things...I bought these little paper mache boxes in 2002...and just found them while plundering in my studio storage room...I painted one box with my snowman and one with my freehand pumpkin designs...The front and back sides have this design...

both end sides have this design...
these are the tops of each box...I will use them to give little gifts in during the holiday...


these are the cutest little round boxes, I based each lid with dark blue and did my little freehand snowman designs on the tops...the bottoms are an ivory color, so I left them as they are...


Bird in Flowers Box

I love to paint birds...this little paper mache box was perfect for this little design...I basecoated the lid white, then did a wash of the purple color to stain the white...I transferred the bird, and some of the flowers and leaves...after I painted the bird, I did the flowers kinda freehand, the painted the leaves...
I painted the edge of the lid the same purple color and the box bottom in the green used on the leaves...

Painted Chipboard Die Cut Pins

Oh my...I am addicted to these little buggers...I am making painted chipboard die cut pins to share with family and friends for the holidays...I used to make these types of pins, but they were all hand cut, years ago...I am using those cheap earring backs to make the pins and using Glossy Accents to adhere to the chipboard...

These will be so cute to wear on a shirt collar, to hold a scarf together, or just as a shirt accent...

These are all the ones I have made so far...I already had the bunny, and finished all the others today...I will have packs of the chipboard die cut shapes, if interested, email me at debbiesdiecuts@gmail.com Asst pack of 27 shapes is $5.00 includes US shipping...

Little scene painted on a chipboard round die cut, about 1.75 inches, used on a box top as an embellishment...


I am thrilled at how these turned out...freehand painted pumpkins, on ATC. twinchie and moo cards cut from chipboard...acrylic paints...I may use these in some swaps...

More 4x4 book pages

I am now addicted to making these little pages...they are just too fun...I made a garden theme for this one...I love layering all the elements and using the pattern paper as the background for the scene...
I love using pink and green...and these pattern papers just whispered they wanted to be used for this page...LOL...

I love using the little envy's to make pockets for a goodie to go into...I used a vellum verse attached with brads...


I may have to keep this page...LOL...I love the way it turned out...I used some denim paper, to make the little pocket, then sanded it down to give it an old worn pocket look...the cuttlebug leaf was cut from chipboard and then sponged with 3 colors of metallic paints...I added the ribbon/fiber tied onto the little stem...the vellum stickers are great to use...




I covered a small chipboard tag with pattern paper and added a sticker and leaf embellishment...I have 9 pages done, but now, gotta decide who gets which one...and then get them all packaged up and ready to mail...

Decorative painting with ISC Rubber Stamps

I am totally in love with the new images from http://www.innovativestampcreations.com I stamped this image with black ink used my acrylics thinned with water to paint the flowers and leaves...I then used black paint and outlined the entire image again, I spattered the card with thinned green acrylic paint...I sent the card to a friend this week...

4x4 pages for a swap

I am working on 4x4 pages for a swap I joined...these are the pages I have started...I used scrapbook papers, vellum, stamps, ribbons, flowers and acrylic embellishments on this page...

This was a fun one to make...I used a variety of elements here...I know we all do "sassy" moments...
This is my favorite page, but then, Fall is my favorite time of year...I like the way the embellishments on this page came together...


Snow pages are really fun for me to do...cause its as close to snow, as I like to be...I did enough snow as a child to last me a lifetime...so no snow is cool for me...anyway...this page uses lace and ribbon, as well as a mini envelope turned pocket to hide a little extra that goes with this page...I stamped The Stamping Studio snowman and then used marker watercoloring technique to color him in, then coated with Ranger Glossy Accents...the little embellishments are also glued on with that...



Inside the pocket is a little snowflake ornament...I hope my swap partner likes this one...cause its been real tempting to keep it...LOL...




I like to work with Christmas colors and papers...I combined the coordinating papers and stamped the verse directly on the background, then coated with glossy accents...I added little pearl ornaments to the tree...I used a little cardinal sticker to accent the envy pocket with special gift inside...





Its an ornament...I die cut the sizzix ornament, ran it thru my dots cuttlebug folder and sanded off the color of the dots...i colored the top of the ornament with a gold metallic marker...and added gold thread...I think I know who will get this one...but still got to get all the pages finished before I decide who gets which one...LOL..or which ones I keep and make others to send...nah, just kidding...

In one of the groups I am in, we are having a 4x4 book page swap...we make a 4x4 book page for each person playing in the swap...then when we get all of our pages from the players, we will bind them into a neat little book of "alterted art pages"...I started working on a few of my pages today...and then got to playing...this is how carried away I got...not sure if I will keep this one for my book or send it to a player...but I had a blast making it...
Close up of the detail...can't wait to get back to the studio and play some more...

ATC envy with ISC beach scene

I love this ISC image...and it fit perfect on my ATC envy die cut http://thestudioinpreston.blogspot.com ...
I stamped the image in black archival ink, then used a watercolor technique to color in the image...I sponged the rest of the envy with blue paints...Betsy has lots of new images out and some more stuff coming soon...Can't wait...I am such an ISC collector... http://www.innovativestampcreations.com

My first bottlecap painting...

Oh my gosh was this fun...I had bought the bottle caps, just had not played with them yet...I joined a swap and got one as an embellishment on a bookmark and was so inspired to pull mine out and play...I smashed the bottle cap with my Sizzix machine, then used a 7/8 inch punch, dont have a 1 inch, and punched the piece from chipboard, painted the little scene, then glued in with Ranger Glossy Accents and covered it...cant wait to make something using it...Now, gotta make some more...

Painted die cuts...

This bunny is cut from chipboard, basecoated off white, shading and detail added using acrylic paint, sealed with waterbased varnish...he would make an adorable little pin for Easter/Spring, great embellishment for frames and scrapbook layouts or even as a magnet...
This little pumpkin die cut has always been one of my favorites, cut from chipboard, painted with acrylic paints, makes adorable little pins for the fall, I made a whole bunch of them one year and gave to all my co-workers to wear, we worked at AC Moore...I made magnets and frame embellishments last year for some friends and family...

This is the little die cut apple, again cut from chipboard, detailed and sealed with waterbased varnish...I added this one to a frame...

I used my 4x4 chipboard frame, painted it black, added white acrylic paint writing, like a chalk board...and attached the apple embellishment...I also added a small easel to the back so it will sit on a shelf...it could also be made into a magnet or attach ribbon to the top to make an ornament or hanging frame...

Pumpkin book...

I used die cut chipboard pumpkins for the book covers, Cuttlebug leaf die cuts for embellishments...I painted the front cover with details

This is how the front cover will look when finished...
This is the opened book, I made ivory colored pages for this book...the book can be taken apart to add photos and other detail to the pages...


I will add more foo foo to the snap ring binding...but this piece of jute, was all I had in the painting studio...I really need to bring more goodies here to use and work with...The pumpkin shapes have sealer added to them...


I used ranger glossy accents to glue the leaves onto the pumpkin...




Apple frame...

With my grand kids headed back to school...I am already thinking of something to do with school photos...I used the apple die cut from chipboard, cut a die cut circle out of the center, painted the die cut red, added details and photo...
These can be made as stand up frames, by making a little easel back for the apple shaped frame...or you can make them into magnets or even ornaments...this is the back side of the ones I made today...I just kinda freehand cut out what I needed and glued it onto the frame back...You could also, add the childs name, grade and name of school...

these are the sample photos in black and white from last years school photos...it was all I could find in my painting studio...I thought they turned out pretty good...I will be making more of these for sure...

Wooden ATC with painted scene...

Wooden ATC cut from pine lumber...sanded, painted white, sanded again, scene painted on front, the rest of the ATC is stained using thinned brown acrylic paint...

Coaster Accordion Book

I made an accoridion panel with dark blue cardstock, once folded I rounded the corners with my Zutter corner rounder, it matches the coaster corners perfectly...

I stamped the snowman image and painted with acrylic paints, once I attached the accordion panel, used gold elastic cording as the binding method...has plenty of room for photos and memorabilia...

Bind it all, lots of uses

I use my bind it all hole spacing for marking holes that I punch using a hole punch, when I dont need all six holes that the bind it all makes....

I only wanted three holes in the cardstock ATC book, so I marked the spacing and used my Crop a dile to punch the holes...

then I can still use the spiral binding and bind using the bind it all machine...I also used one clear snap ring on another cardstock ATC mini book, just punching one hole in the top left corner...the books can be taken back apart to paint and decorate and then put back together, or can be left as they are and decorated with the binding intact...

Mini book with Gingerbread face...

This is from the Jamie Mills Price patterns, with my own spin added...I love those little faces...so i used some round chipboard pieces for the covers and painted the design on...
I added cream colored pages and a clear snap ring binding...I will add some sponging to these little pages, and will use a round punch to add photos of the faces of my grand children...

ATC Accordion Book and Envy...

This is the painted cover of my newest ATC Mini book design...

Accordion panel, folded to fit the ATC envy...
I used post it note to mask off the front panel of the accordion...basecoated it with blue and green for my little barn scene...






ATC envy with green sponge painting...I used 3 colors of green paint to sponge the envy...




after the painting was finished, I sponged the remainder of the accordion panel, I masked the front cover with post it note...






The folded accordion ATC book inside the envy...





ATC mini book with envy...








Painted scene on the cover...I will add some photos to the book later...







Altered Art Mini Book Project

This is one of those little round boxes that Laughing Cow Cheese comes in...I basecoated the box and painted the snowman face on the box front...

Round mini book inside the box....

I used a clear snap ring to bind this book, it fits perfect inside the little box...with room for photos and embellishments to be added...

I sponged various blue paints onto the white cardstock pages, then spattered with white paint...this little book will be perfect to share those snow day photos in...

Coaster with night time scene

I was trying for a more night time look to this scene...hubby says it looks night time, I painted a little cottage scene on a coaster and will use it to make a book...
ah look...a little coaster book...LOL...these books are so much fun to make...I cut kraft colored cardstock pages for the book and used my bind it all to bind the book...

Book mark for swap


Faux fabric background was made using blue acrylic paint, mouse and feet prints was stamped in black archival ink, mouse was painted with acrylic paints, and then Ranger glossy accents over that to make him dimensional...I sealed the entire piece with waterbased varnish...then glued on the lace with glossy accents...

Terra cotta and paper mache

Two of my favorite surfaces to paint on are terra cotta and paper mache...this is a little tiny terra cotta tray about the size of a silver dollar...I painted it dark blue, then added the snowman head in the bottom and sponged the edges...
This is a little 3 inch terra cotta pot...I basecoated the bottom white and the top dark blue...I painted 3 snowman around the pot and spattered with dark blue,


I spattered the top rim with white...this will get filled with candy and given as a Christmas gift...


This is a terra cotta box, base coated with white and then sponged with light blue, I added the snowman head with the hat...this box was fun to paint...


Snowman box and book

This is truly an altered art piece...I dont like to throw out anything that I might be able to create something new from...This little thin round box, is actually one of those Laughing Cow Cheese boxes...thats good cheese by the way...anyway...I basecoated the box with off white acrylic paint, then with 3 coats of blue, I wanted it very midnight dark blue in color...I painted the snowman head on the cover, then spattered the box with white and light blue paints...sealed with 3 coats of waterbased varnish...I was going to just use it as it was...but no...I had to go one step further...and make a mini book to go with it...
Using my 4 inch round die cut from chipboard I made covers for a book that will fit perfect inside the box...It will use a clear snap ring or silver ball chain closure...both of those are in my studio, so I will have to wait and get them later to bind the book...anyway...I basecoated the chipboard circles in the same dark blue, free hand painted the snowman and spattered the covers with white paint...I sealed each with waterbased varnish...


I used white paint on my stamp to stamp the back of the book, I cut white cardstock pages for the book and sponged them with dark and light blue paints, mixed on the sponge...then spattered with white paint too...this will be a perfect little book to share snowday photos in and the little box, will look nice as a year round decoration....

Faux background paper Envy and ATC for swap

I used one of my favorite butterfly images from ISC http://innovativestampcreations.com to stamp the butterfly randomly on the cardstock, then die cut my ATC envy...I used acrylic paint, thinned with water, to color each butterfly,
After that was dry, I spattered the envy with blue acrylic paint, then folded in the envy shaped and taped it...

the ATC's that I made along with a blank ATC will go in the envy to be sent to my ATC swap partner....this is for a decorative painting group swap I am in...

Painted ATC's for swap

I coated the chipboard ATC's with white acrylic paint, then used two colors and green stippled onto the dry base coat, painted the tree limb and leaves, then glued the beautiful collage http://lisasalteredart.com image onto the tree limb, used a liner brush to write the message and then sealed with waterbased varnish...I brought one of the limbs and some leaves over the bird nest to kinda sit the nest onto the limb...
I did a faux chambray demin fabric background on this ATC...then glued on the collage image from http://lisasalteredart.com and wrote the message with paint and a liner brush...sealed it with waterbased varnish when all was dry...


Coaster book for swap


I did a yellow wash over the coasters, then painted the queen anne's lace and coneflowers, spattered the covers and sealed with water based varnish...I made greenn pages for the book...Perfect to hold photos, recipes, memorabilia and more...

Studio area at home...

I am creating myself a little studio area in the spare bedroom, this is what I have set up so far...it will be mostly for painting, but I am going to bring some inks and stamps from The Studio so I can make quick cards, etc...

if I could only end up with this much space once I actually sit down to paint...LOL...
This little shelving unit fit perfectly on the counter top for extra storage...


There is a whole book case under there...LOL...I am only using the top shelf now, but once I get all the "kid" books moved, I will get to use the whole bookcase...



I even have my own tv and dvd/vcr player...so I can watch instructional videos or movies...

All stamps are ISC http://www.innovativestampcreations.com Ranger inks and Marvy markers were used...

Stamped Collage/Designer Paper Tech


This piece is covered with both of these techniques...its stamped designer paper as well as stamped collage...I did this piece about 9 or so years ago...I made a mini book and made this background paper for my envelope pages...I found this piece while looking for something else in the studio...Not sure all the rubber stamp images,


I stamped onto a piece of text weight, laid, speckled paper...used Ranger inks...

Pyramid Tech on ATC's

These templates made this technique fun and easy to do...I used my layer templates from Evolving Images and some ATC's to make these two Pyramid Tech cards....This ATC was covered with fabric, then I cut the layers and added another layer of chipboard to each section before putting it back together...

I colored the background, stamped with ISC image and then used the templates to cut the layers...For more TJ Tech's www.patstamps.com

Double Bugging and Marker Watercolor Tech


I used my double bugging tech on the background of the card, punched the edge and colored each layer of embossing by rubbing with an ink pad...
I stamped the ISC hibiscus image with Ranger jet black ink, then using Marvy Markers, watered colored the flower image...All stamps are ISC http://www.innovativestampcreations.com/
TJ newsletter info http://www.patstamps.com/

Double Bugging Tech Created by Debbie Bankston


I did an ATC using the Double Bugging Tech and then layered it onto my ATC envy die cut...I colored each layer of embossing and
then to make the spider web layer show up kinda shiney and glimmery like a spider web looks at night with the light shining on it just right...I used Gold Irridescent Medium, and painted the spider web layer of embossing...it looks really neat...

ATC Accordion Envy Book

Cover of the book...I made the covers from chipboard, covered with pattern paper, then stamped with ISC stamps...I sanded the edges then sponged them with coffee brown ink...I cut my covers just a smidgeon larger than the ATC envy...I used elastic cording from Really Reasonable Ribbon...as the closure for this book...
This is the open ATC envy book and the ATC's I made to go into each envy...

I used ATC frames on two of the ATC's...



I stamped each envy with a different background image and color...


I dusted the inside flap of each envy with the same ink it was stamped with...




The ATC envy book opened...each envy is attached to an accordion fold...






View of the book from the top...






Back side of the accordion panel the ATC envy's are attached to...and the front and back covers of the book... http://thestudioinpreston.blogspot.com/ for a kit to make your own...
