Q-Tips and Crafting

December 8, 2011

I’ve written posts before about how I like to use kitchen items in my craft room. Today I’m going to add one-more- Q-Tips! I use them all the time & when they asked me to share that on their behalf, I was more than tickled! So let’s get started! I use a lot of different paints in my studio- both acrylics and watercolors. Some of my acrylics (like the yummy Lumieres by Jacquard and Viva Decor Precious Metals) have mica […]

Holiday Gift Tags featuring Aleene’s Tacky Line Roll Tape

December 5, 2011

Last week I shared my overview of the new dry adhesives from Aleene’s (ILoveToCreate) and one of my faves was Tacky Line Roll– fun on a roll, my friends! I was smitten with using it for glitter and foils..and you know how I am with Homemade Washi tape…so I designed these holiday tags using both of my favorite things! To make them, you’ll need: Tacky Line Roll by Aleene’s Manilla folders OR cardstock Tag die and machine OR template OR […]

Holiday Ornament featuring Martha Stewart Paints

November 15, 2011

Well, friends- it’s that time of year again. Thanksgiving is on it’s way and then we’ll be in the mad rush towards the holiday season. This year, I’m giving lots of handmade gifties- especially jewelry- and that’s a pretty small box. So I got to thinking that I should make the box a gift in and of itself. And what if that gift box could double as an ornament? I found these cool paper-mache “wedge” boxes at my local craft […]

Upcycling Project Featuring Martha Stewart Paints by Plaid Crafts

August 24, 2011

Wow! What a week! This weekend I got my Martha Stewart Paints by Plaid (available exclusively at Michael’s, by the way) and I got to business testing them out. By now, I hope you’ve read my overview of the Martha Stewart Paints as well as the review of tools and accessories that I received. Now it’s time for the fun part- making something! I can’t tell you how I agonized over which to make- some fun witch shoes for Halloween […]

Love a Local Business- Stamplistic!

August 11, 2011

Wonder what a CraftTestDummy does on a weekend? Sometimes I make a big mess….and sometimes I go shopping. I took a little field trip to Stamplistic, and wonderful (and sadly my ONLY) local independently-owned scrapbooking and stamping store. What makes Stamplisitic special is that they carry such a marvelous collection of scrapbooking, stamping AND mixed-media supplies. From Adirondack inks to Zentangles, they’ve really got something for everyone. They’ve also recently moved- and their new, shiny scrapping mecca on Cooper-Foster Park […]
