Card Project Sare - Pink Envelope and Mini File Folder

Hello everyone in this post I will be showing you a finished project. This was one of those projects where you aren't sure where to start out but you end up finishing with something really great. In this project I used two pieces of pink colored card stock, pastel pink pigment inks from Michaels. If you want to know what I think of those inks then ready my review here.

So here is how I made this set of cards. The mini folder can be used to hold items it is about half the size of a regular file folder or less. I took my Darice embossing folder and embossed the two sheets of colored card stock. Then I scored and cut my card into a panel. I stamped my sentiments on white card stock and gave them some dimension with foam squares. The mini file folder is really easy to make if you have the We Are Memory Keepers File folder punch board or the 123 Punch Board. I do not own to the File Punch (though I want it), I used the 123 Board, on the board there is an arrow shaped punch and that can make a tab for a file folder though not as pronounced as the Tab Punch Board would make it. I used the pigment inks to make an ombre effect on the card stock and let the card dry.

So let me know what you think? This is a really simple project that looks like you did a lot more than you actually did.

Marc Jacobs Blaquer Mascara

So I may be the last person in the word right now to tell everyone what I think of Marc Jacobs beauty but slowly I'm making my way through the products.  http://www.sephora.com/lash-lifter-gel-volume-mascara-P379421 The first product I want to talk about is the Marc Jacobs Blaquer Mascara, this product is a tubing mascara and builds up amazing volume. The wand is triangular in circumference which is really great for getting to all of my lashes, it's also very long which grabs most of them at once and since it's a tubing mascara it would need to. My eye lashes are super black and don't smudge or run and I have extremely runny eyes that just pour tears out of my outer corner whenever they are even slightly irritated. So lucky me, this mascara is yet another 25$ way too expensive product but honestly it's great. Here's the down side I do not recommend putting mascara on the top and bottom at the same time. Some mascara's don't mind touching together but sin...

Artist Rambles Article 1 - Starting New Projects

Creative Process Blog 1: Sketching So If you follow me on Instagram you will have noticed an increase in sketches and drawings. I currently am attempting to make a come back as a traditional artist. I have been pushing myself really hard to increase sketches and drawing time whenever I have free time. Usually at night these days. It has been an up hill in heels battle so far and I personally do not feel like I am making any progress. I have filled two sketch books so far and will be making a new sketch book soon.  Back in high school I had tons of passion and drive, there were so many inspiring things to me I kind of kept "books" on them. Fashion magazines, movies, comics whatever I saw that was interesting would make me want to create something. When I went to college my drive changed to where music was a huge influence as well as video games. I was dead set on making everything into Silent Hill or Dir En Grey inspired and I would listen to movie sound track...

My favorite Air Dry Clays

 Favorites change day by day for some people but I have found some reliable products that I suggest using.  Air dry clay takes about 3 days to dry but that is the minimum I have found. Anywhere from 3-7 days is for any object to be completely dry not just to the touch. I consider clays dry when they are completely dry on the inside and outside. Raccoon Honey I just got so I haven't used it yet. Hearty is a Japanese brand resin clay. Crayola makes Model Magic and their own form of air dry ceramic clay. Creatology is very cheap and good for simple sculptures. I did not include Kutsuwa brand clay since I don't like it very much. I don't like Debika clays either I find them to be along the lines of Kutsuwa clay. Kutsuwa clay - very moist paper clay that is easy to mold, mix with glue to soften the clay if it dries out. Feels spongy when wet but dries hard.  Takes over 5 days to dry hard (not just to the touch but throughout the clay), light weight hard texture when abs...
