I absolutely love the detail in these earrings. I wasn’t sure if I could emboss faux leather but I gave it a try and it turned out fabulously! I stamped an image onto the faux leather, applied embossing powder, and then heat set it. I was really impressed! I actually ended up making two pairs of earrings. Check out the how-to video below.

Oh, how I want to visit the beach, sand in my toes, playing in the water. It is such a fantastic summer activity. Since I can’t go, I made this shadowbox to remind me of how fun it can be. This shadowbox can be placed on a shelf as a decor item or as a Christmas tree ornament. Wouldn’t it be fun to send to a friend that also loves the beach? Thanks to Maker’s Movement for sending me the stamp and die set, Beach Vibes to use with this project.
Beach Vibes
Materials:
Mini Maker Die Cut Machine
Beach Vibes – stamp and die set
black stamp pad
stamping block
Spectrum Noir markers
washi tape
scissors
white cardstock
Marabu fabric spray
double stick tape
foam tape squares
Directions:
I began with a box I made using a past tutorial here. [picture frame SVG]
Using the stamps, I stamped onto white cardstock.
Then I colored the images with alcohol ink markers.
Using a bit of washi tape, I placed the dies and sent them through the Mini Maker from Maker’s Movement.
And here are the pieces all cut-out.
I used Fashion Spray from Marabu and a torn piece of cardstock to color the frame.
Using double-stick tape, I placed the castle into the frame.
Next, I cut a bit of the bottom of the bucket and placed it in the frame with foam tape to lift it up. I used a double layer of foam squares.
The other shapes were placed with double-stick tape.
And here is the finished piece.

I am sharing how I made this layered tag using Maker’s Movement products. The dies, the stamps, even the die cutting machine are all from Maker’s Movement. I like the different patterns of the paper layered on top of each other. The tag die set comes with a variety of different sizes, I used the three smaller dies. This tag would pair nicely with a gift from the kitchen for someone special as well as a great way to say thank you with an edible gift!

To finish off the tag, I added a sheer ribbon and used a white paint pen to fill in the icing on the cupcake and a black marker to add cute quote marks around the saying.
This month over on the Rinea Blog, I am sharing a stamping technique using the new Ghost Ink 2.0. My video tutorial shares how the Ghost Ink works as well as a technique I am showing stamping on top of it.

The above image might not look like much but it is actually a wreath building template for stamping. You will use one stamp and stamp it multiple times in a circular fashion and the template will help you get that done. It will make so much more sense when you watch the video tutorial linked below.
