I made this little book cover for a friend’s birthday and was getting ready to wrap it when I decided to use this square envelope as a box. This was really fun….

Just punch 1/8-inch holes in each corner…..Stamp designs on the front 4 flaps, emboss with gold UTEE and then paint with Moon Shadow inks.

Place Book Cover in the middle of the inside of box and thread the two opposite holes together with waxed cord, do the same with the opposite 2 holes and tie bows. Add beads to the ends of the cords

Makes a great presentation!

Well, I’ve used Sheer Heaven paper for nite lights before but this time I embossed on it and painted the design with Moon Shadow inks. Also sprayed the background with Moon Shadow Mist. Amazing paints! The base is one of those little lighted bases you set gemstones or shells on.

I’m going to tackle some new jewelry projects with these two products next……

Here is how the display looks now with the “leather” paper attached. BIG difference.

More on this “leather” paper later……

I needed some jewelry displays that would be well lit for the Gallery and came up with this simple design.

I started with 2 of these floor lamps and joined them with “Veggie Leather” to hang the jewelry on.

I will be adding hand made paper to the bottom to hide the cords.

Stay tuned for the finished units……

Here are a couple more “Sun Lover’s”. The green one is Premo Clay. A little Copper Perfect Pearls were used to burnish the details.

The following one is DAS Terra Cotta Clay

Das is an air dry clay, really wonderful to work with……..

“The sun lovers” is a fun new class being offered at MISA this Saturday.

Really enjoying creating with Polymer Clay. These “Sun Lovers” were embellished with Perfect Pearls.

I’ll post some variations soon.

Here is a class we will be teaching at MISA this week. It is amazing you can set a hot or cold beverage on these coasters and it has no effect on the image.

These would make fun useful house warming or hostess  gifts for that person who has everything.

The White Veggie Leather set looks  just like whitewashed clay. Acrylic paints were applied to the coasters to bring out the stamp designs. More projects coming soon…..

Here is this weeks class at MISA.

As many of you know Sheer Heaven is a wonderful paper. It has a coating on it that takes on different looks from other products. These Moon Shadow Mists are a whole new look. And it’s waterproof!

Here are earring samples using Ruff N Ready shrink plastic, Sheer Heaven and Moon Shadow Mist spray. I don’t think these pictures quite convey the awesome effect the spray has on the Sheer Heaven, but here goes…

Sheer Heaven has that amazing coating on it and the sprays react in a really cool way on it.  Stay tuned, I’m just beginning to work with these two products together, the ideas are endless!
