Add This is my new stuff, bags! This shopping big bag I used Hessian to do it, the inner I used and old strong bath curtain! Because if we use put cols or wet stuff it will be okey, also I made several inner pockets; so I do not have to be carrying  2 bags...I used it and wow I couldn't believe how much stuff I put in it...hmmm maybe is not to wise...I spend more jajajajaja . The back & front pocket were made of....coffee bags (my favourite drink ever) as well the handles..now is that some people have been asking me to made with the same packets! I do not have so much of this!

This are the cover of a scrapbook almost 6x6
made from box cardboard, decorated with acrylic paint. 

This mask were printed in the back of used photocopy normal paper,
then detail with foiling and glittering, the pearls like are made from glue, them glitter them.
They were cover with acrylic varnish when dry were pasted over
packaging to make them strong. For New Year party ! Wahoo!!

My little ATC all done for other leftovers! Overs cardboard.

Here are some ATC! Some from X mas time, ! And the other theme was Chrysantemus and bird or berries of January....woa!

Like always my ATC at least 98% r recycled or reuse, the lady hat is stamp over a magazine paper, she was stamp on a little piece of paper from other project over a packet type like linen, so I painted with acrylic then stamped over it and them paste de ladies, the little one painted w/promarkers.
The flowers  in the vase were made from tissue paper from a gift , I stamp over it then varnish and the middle is glue with glitter, the  flower I use watercolor to painted them then use a aquacolor to give them more definition.

This were made with pieces from here to there..The fairy I stamped over shrink plastic, the image is a printed one that was left, I intensify glittering them. The owl is a picture a cut the moon is stamped the background are several different little pieces of paper I found (yes I have patience at least for this jajajajaj). The last one is a piece of leftover paper that I foil it and distress it a little then some cut flower from other paper and a sentiment from another stuff!

Well hope you enjoy this one.

Hello again, yes I have been busy, also practising more re using and recycles things!

I am sewing! Weeee...I just made a bag a normal one, first you have to learn how to, then I will applied my re use and recycle knowledge you will be seeing it soon! 

I have a new link, it is called Creative downloads, there I post free backgrounds and also some techniques I used to do recycled cards and other stuff!

Now no more chatting...here they are!

Enjoy them!

This is made from cardboard painted with acrylic I will use it to create a scrapbook 6x6 inspired by butterflies and vintage. That is another cardboard for my scrapbook. 

Here I use a packaging 
to make the shaker with the snowman.

The only thing new is card.

Enjoy and God blessya all!

X MAS BEGINS EARLY AND GREEN!

Yes, I begin early (not so much) jajajajaj

I done a pair of what I call semi recycled cards, because I use leftovers, used p/c papers, magazine and new cards papers. Hope you enjoy them!

The first card I use, parts of a voucher, a cardboard packing, plastic cover, leftover acuarela paper and a piece of printed acetate.
First I painted very lightly with mica the acuarela p. when it was dry, I stamp with clock face and compass, to give the bubbles dimension I did it twice so you can cut the centre and paste it over (decoupage). I decide to use 4 bubbles.  I have a background paper that I printed in the back of a simple photocopied used paper .  Then the plastic or transparent cover I stamp some X-Mas tree leaves to give it more dimension, and instead of using a frame, I use a ribbon to frame it. The embellishment  cat face is made from a voucher, that  I cut, then I put in in a little piece of paper I found and draw the Santa's type of hat, glitter it, the little square is a deep embossing technique with clear deep embossing powder, however for this I recommend a thick cardboard, this one was from a detergent packing.  The sentiment is stamp over a piece of acetate leftover from another project, the clock beneath is from a voucher also.  The brads in the frame were made of normal brads glue them with a bronze glitter.  There is no need to be buying expensive stuff.
The second card I use the same packing for the tree and the face, stamp them and cover them with deep embossing powder , the background of the tree is a emboss paper leftover and the flowers came from this same piece of paper, the bottom background is the stripes leftover papers.  This I made an easel card, the background  to place the easel in place is done by using stamps and mica powder, then using distress ink around it.
If you want more explanation you cam e mail!
Have fun!

Hello

I have been quite busy doing this doing that .. and auto teaching lessons jajajajajaja..
here is a little something...More than recycle it is re use, I was making something and went the way I didn't like it so...I din't  want to use it in my project...but throw it! NEVER! it means loosing time, effort and money...so I leave it there and now I am reusing it in something else...but the butterflies they are old bad packaging stuff..The stopper was made with a piece of acuarela paper(the back side jijiji) I stamp the wings were made from a very old butterfly I made that broke and I rescue part of it and that is all...with a little imagination you can save money! no more talk here it is...Does it looks good???

Yes, like I said in my last post...I have been taking a sabbatical??? jajajajajaj well in a way..
But here I am with some new stuff I work on.
I must say, stamping help to recycle, reuse reduce!  With stamps you can use very small pieces of paper and give it a very new life!  Even usin it in packing and making something different!
Also stamping give you a huge way to use them, not only with embossing, but with different types of paint or mediums, from pencil colours to acrylic paints, using glitter, different types of paper even form magazines or newspaper even cardboards and plastic packet (always read the recycle number in the back for this) (if you are using emboss techniques is always better to try it first and use precautions).
Well no more taking and here are some of the cards...

 In this one like we use stamping technique in the tags, in the base card to create a background, the base was made using resistant technique with mica powders. The tags were build up using tickets, stamps and little things that I have around leaving some space between the collage to stamp on it!  The right one is using new new papers with some leftover also. The green bg was emboss for this card, the leaves was a leftover and the embellishment was a ticket and stamping and heat embossing over plastic packets and cutting them, so it is more 3D.The verse was stamp in a leftover paper and some of the tear paper were pieces of leftover papers glue to the back.
This one is also a mix, the flower, the sentiment, the embellishment behind the figure of the gentleman
 and the bg of the gentleman are leftovers papers, fotocopy papers etc.


The Lady is a figure from a craft magazine, the bg, flowers even the ribbon are leftovers paste together in a blank card.

This one is a little note all from leftover papers and magazine images using stamping method.  

The box was printed in a normal card paper, but the flowers were made from grunge paper that was left form an older projects. The brad is a normal brad painted with acrylic gold.                                                           The inside of a box is mini-album, the pictures were paste in use f/c paper, and the different embellishment were stamps, little things around and some leftovers to make the mini tags and corners!  Some the brads were imitation ones made from glue and glitter.

 This one is completely re use and recycle, only the blank card that is paste over, the bg is made from different types of papers, newspaper, magazine etc, glue together and painted. The clocks were stamp also in different pieces f papers some emboss, other painted the sentiments also were stamped in used papers.  Also I use metal magic technique that is formidable for using with any kind of paper.  The flower or rosset in the last one was a back of a f/c used paper sprite with mica and then folded constantina. The matting and layering is using leftover papers some of them were glue together and joint for making the square, the matt and layering under the images is empty what you see are only stripes of paper that make it look like a frame.  With the kitchen one is almost the same technique only different stamps and using it like a collage

This  is also all leftover is a small card was the bottom of a card blank of one of the first cards a little of stamping using very small stamp ticket like sizes , one of the ladies face is stamp on magazine paper as the lady in front, the hat.  I cover the blank stamp also with a bg leftover from a card I made.This page show how much you can do with things we usually throw!

Here I add a ribbon some glitter and voila!

And this  b'day card all recycle and re used materials, only the ribbon, the embellishment in the side and the insert are new, but the toppers, sentiment,  even the sun is a stamped bottle top!
