Brush Caddy By Dianna's Crafts

Hi Everyone, Dianna here with Gypsy Soul Laser Cut's Brush Caddy.   This Brush Caddy is extremely useful.  The bottom picture shows all of the items that I put in the Brush Caddy with room to spare.  Also, this Brush Caddy fits into the top of the Art Caddy, which I will be assembling later.  Please check out the video of this assembly below. 


I start with a dry assembly then spray painted the Brush Caddy with a bronze spray paint. I then assembled the Brush Caddy using Beacon's 3-n-1.  I used Beacon's Fast Finish Decoupage on tissue paper that I purchased at Marshalls.  The tissue paper will tear a little but the overall effect is a vintage steam trunk. The little tears add character and add to the vintage feel. 


The Brush Caddy has six compartments. 


Here are all the items that are in the final picture.  There is plenty room to spare.  



Thank you for looking!

Santa's Balloon Ride by Dianna

Hi everyone, Dianna here hoping that your holidays were wonderful!  Here is my take on 
Santa's Christmas Delivery from a Balloon with a Steampunk Twist. 





I took a 12 x 12 canvas and painted the sides and border a light brown.  I used Mod Podge to seal the paint and adhere the Bo-Bunny -Silver and Gold - Festivities paper.  The Compass is from Gina's Designs and painted gold (it kinda looks like it is printed on the paper so I raised it for dimension).  





I used Twinkling H20's Crystal Green on the Gina's Design raw chipboard and got an irridence effect on the trees.  I stamped a Jingle Bells music stamp on the trees and finished the edges with Stickles - Pantina. I placed chipboard under the trees at different thicknesses to create a 3D look.  I hand drew Santa, colored him with Copic Markers and used a snow writer on his coat and hat. The chipboard basket was Sparkling H20's and Bo-Bunny paper.  The list was an old stamp on tan paper and distressed with brown ink





Gina's Designs Mini Display Tray -Hot Air Balloon tops the canvas on a cardboard "hinge".  I used the Twinkling H20's on the outside of the balloon.  BO-Bunny - Silver and Gold paper line was used on the whole balloon.  I used Tim Holtz Rosette die by Sizzix under Gina's Clock face and hands and a super small one was used as a gear.  A fence from Gina's Beach Shape Set was cut down to make a ladder for the elf.  Gina's gears were painted with silver, gold and bronze.  The peppermint was painted white, red and distressed with brown ink to give it a gear look.  I used a Gina's Design Type Writer Key "25" as gear. The snowflake was daubed with Stickles - Icicle, Gold and Pantina. The BO-Bunny - Elf Magic paper elves were fussy cut out and the magic ticket was punched out using an EK Success Punch.  Gina's flourishes miniatures were painted black and gold.  The dream in a circle is new for Gina's Design.

Halloween Witch X-Large Tag by Dianna

Hi everyone, Dianna here with a Halloween Witch just in time for October 31st. This is a cross-promo with Craftsupplies1.



Gina's Designs Large Tag was covered by black paper from Kitty's Scrap Post - O'Halloween. A spiderweb die cut was used to create the large orange spiderweb on the left hand side. The moon from Kitty's Scrap Post - O'Halloween was placed on scrap chip board and placed at the top of the spiderweb. Gina's Designs Boo! was painted with black gesso and distressed with orange and black Stickles. The witches hat and broom was from a Graphic 45 stamp set. The black copic marker was used on the hat, the green copic was used on the band and green Stickles.






The fence is from Gina's Designs Beach Shape Set, was painted with black gesso and distressed with gold and black Stickels. Pumpkins from Gina's Designs was painted with white acrylic paint and copic markers was used to create a rind effect on the pumpkins. The stems of Acrylic Orange and Brown flowers from Craftsupplies1 was colored with copic green marker and then curled with a pencil. The flowers were placed on the vines of the pumpkins.
Julie Nutting - Mixed Media Doll Stamp Tasha with Evening Dress was stamped on an old book and black paper, then a spiderweb was created with Stickles and a green glitter netting was placed behind her create a fuller dress look. A Gina's Designs Spiderweb was painted black with gesso and distressed with Stickles, a spider was placed next to both spiderwebs. There are two Cardstock Doily Set Intricates from Gina's Designs were distressed with black ink and placed under the witch. The Owl from Craftsupplies1 was colored with a black marker, just enough so that the gold shines through, two black rhinestones were placed in the owls eyes. The owl was placed right above the witch. The ribbons are from my stash of halloween ribbon.
