Sharing the Creative heART at Creativation 2020

Will you be at Creativation 2020? This pendant will be given away at Creativation 2020. I am participating in the Sharing the Creative Heart. Where designers hide their art on the showroom floor for attendees to find and keep. This happens on Sunday, Jan 19th.

If you find a piece of art, share it on social media with the hashtags #SharingTheCreativeHeart and #CREATIVATION2020.

Making a Gift Box with Rinea Foiled Paper

I have a video tutorial on the Rinea Foiled Paper blog today making this decorative gift box just in time for Valentine’s Day. Consider using it as a gift box for jewelry or candy or maybe the box is the gift!

Unboxing Sizzix Sidekick

I have wanted a small die-cut machine for a while now. I don’t want to lug out my larger die cutting machine for small quick uses. This Sidekick can be left on my crafting table without taking up too much space. So far, I am really happy with it. In the video below I walk you through the unboxing and first use.

Polymer Clay and UV Resin Earrings

I am really excited about the results I am achieving with this technique. I think I have only just scratched the surface of the possibilities. I really like how the paint (DecoArt Interference) changes from white to colors when applied to a dark surface. The UV Resin really enhances the colors and gives emphasis to the dimension. I’ve only made earrings so far but I look forward to making pendants and more. The colors are so pretty and work together well.
