Awesome news

Hi  all, I finally can show you the rubber stamps I designed for Sin City Stamp, I hope you all like them.

Here is a first project sample i made using my designs.

Sin City Stamps Used : The Wildflower set (designed by me ....how cool is that?) 

Alice

Deco Art Products used: 

Americana Neon Lights in Knock Out Blue and Pink Explosion

Dazzling metallics in: Teal and Berry

Metallic Lustres in Fab Fuchsia and Brilliant Turquoise

 Dutch doobadoo stencil and Tim Holtz gear dies

First I made the background  using the Americana Neon paints and because Alice's world is surreal and my worl too (ya what can I say....) I thought to make the ground pink....and ofcours the sky blue.

Next I stencilled the checks using Dazzling Metallics and to complete the weard world of Alice I used my own stamp designs (it's sooo cool to be able to write "my own stamp designs" sorry bout that  but just super exited I got asked to do this ). To get this world I thought of I could either go mask or just use the stamps on paper and cut them out, since masking would have had the risk of paint getting under the mask and it would mean fussy cutting too, I went for oprion 2 :-).
I coloured the stamps using colored pencils (Crayola nothing fancy) and used Matte Medium to glue them on the page.

The Wildflower word comes in "my"stamp set too, the rest of the senti I wrote using a Deco Art glass marker, they work great over acrylic paint.

I finsihed the page giving it a frame of gears using the Tim Holts die and black cardstock. The gears were coloured using the metallic lustres and glued to the page using tacky glue.


In my brain Alice is asking where to go and the scary flower is asking the heart vine if Alice is a wildflower, sorta  like in the book, just different flowers

Hope you like the page. The journal I used is a small Moleskine.

here a view of the complete stampset, now available on pre order for 14.99 USD for the coming 2 weeks, next it will go back to it's regular price of 18.99 USD, so I would suggest to go get them fast to save some money :-)

Alice's Tea Party

this was such a fun project to make, I had thought of making a teabag book,  a mini book with pockets that hold tea bags, and told Rick about it, and he had the awesome idea to make it an Alice in Wonderland Teabag book.  He drew al lot of new Alice images for it.  In total there are 16 Alice Randi Dandi images in the book, and most of them are new. There will be a how to at the end of this post, and there are a lot of pics in it, so enjoy.

all the tea bags that are in the book, aren't these the coolest tea bags ever?

the front cover of the book

the book closes with a ribbon

here you can see the pockets with the tea bags in it

the inside of the book

the back cover

a closer look at all the Rick St. Dennis MFA Images used,

Check out Rick's blog cause there is a special sale for these images

 Colouring these was a bit challenging cause I have printed them real small, most of the images are printed at 2 inches, some a little bit bigger

Here is how to make the book

You will need:

 6 pieces of paper size: 16 cm wide  x 8,5 cm high (6,3 inches x 3,3 inches)

score at 8 cm (3,1 inch)

and fold

then you need 7 pieces of paper from 3 cm wide x 8,5 cm high (1,2" x 3,3")

we are going to use these to bind the book

score at 1,5 cm (0,6 ") and fold

use double sided tape to make pockets of the 6 pages, see below

they should look like this

use a 1,5" circle punch to puch out half circles, to make it easier to slide the tea bag sleeves in and out of the pockets

I inked all the edges and the surface of the paper to give it a bit of a vintage look

attache the small strips of paper to the side of the pocket that is closed with the double sided tape, so folded end is going to bee the side that is visable at the open side of the book.(use liquid glued so you can move it a bit to make things straight) see pic

then add another page to the other side of the strip

do this to all pages see pics

the last to strips are going to have the covers on them, it should look like this

for the covers you need 2 pieces of cardboard of 8,5 cm wide  x 9 cm high (3,1" x 3,5")

to cover the cardboard use a piece of paterend paper that is a bit bigger than the cardboard see pic

glue the cardboad in the center of the backside of the paterned paper and cut of the corners, like pic below

 score and fold the edges over and glue to card see pic

use double sided tape to attache the ribbon that is going to close the book, make sure it's long enough to tie a bow.

glue a piece of patterned paper on the inside part of the cover, over the ribbon, like this

glue both covers to the remaing strips that bind the book

aline the covers on the backside of the book to the strip, it you donn't do this you will have problems opening the book.

put a strip of patterne paper over the back, to give it a more finished look

see pics below, I also tied a ribbon

I will enter this tea bag book in the following challenges
