On our Mini Mister/Tool/Marker Stands!

What is THAT you ask? It’s a cool metal stand, lightweight and sturdy, with 15 holes for holding items from your craft table. Especially made to hold Ranger’s Mini Misters and TENseconds Studios metal tools, the stand is paintable and comes with 4 self-adhesive rubber bumper feet! Guess what? It even holds Ciao and Sketch Copic Markers (or practically any marker for that matter) and most Tim Holtz Tools!

The cost is $8.00 per stand (no misters or tools included) plus $5.00 flat rate shipping. (FYI, the name “Philip E. Davis” will show up in Paypal.)

To jazz it up a bit, you can even use alcohol inks like shown on the samples below or paint!

Rusty Pickle is really good at creating grungy and worn looking papers. Panama Jack is one of those great collections that fits that description to a “T”. Rustic old Florida comes to mind, somewhere like Key West, when seeing these papers for the first time. Great shades of blue and green, the patterns are conducive to tropical, vacation or even masculine projects with a tad of “old” thrown in. The Pickle Trims are awesome texture and color combined. Add some torn Core’dinations cardstock and Ideology stuff, you’ve got yourself a great page!

Supplies:
Rusty Pickle Panama Jack paper, stickers & trim
Coredinations Cardstock
Ideology metal
Ranger paint & white pen

Such wonderful pieces of art! They are too fun and great to use up scraps of paper and other material.

The Oasis ATC club (my local ATC club) had a recent meeting where we traded cards for 2 different themes: “Leather and Lace” and “Egyptian”. What super FUN themes! For leather and lace, I used the technique that I recently learned at PK Glitz. It’s so simple and yields a fantastic result. All you need is sticky paper, an open patterned piece of lace and glitter. Below is the result.

For the egyptian theme, I used 2 different egyptian stamps (background from Lasting Impressions with Panache and the other I can’t remember) that were heat embossed. I added some extra glitz for effect using a glue pen and some of PK Glitz’ tape – oh yea that stuff is KILLER COOL!

I was also lucky enough to be invited to join in on a Tim Holtz inspired nation-wide ATC swap. The theme was to use Adirondack Lights colors. I chose to also use Stampers Anonymous stamps and Tim’s Brushless Watercolor technique. I had to add some grungeboard that was painted with Cool Peri and coated with Crackle Accents. Here is the result:

Such a fitting way to end our totally FABULOUS weekend with Tim! A 12×12 canvas painted and covered with grungeboard pieces, crackle paint and a custom made beach sand. Yes, it looks like sand, but is a mixture of UTEE, Perfect Pearls and Glossy Accents!! Thank God that Tim helped me with my background painting – I was much too linear when it started out! I love the look of it now. Envision a gorgeous picture where the chipboard frame is – that would make it complete. My word for the year is “potential” (thanks Ali Edwards for the inspiration), so what a fitting canvas to use don’t you think?

The fun was still cranked up to a high level as we got into the fifth class using TONS of goodies – grungeboard, crackle paint, ephemera, trinkets and INK! Tim is the master at finding all the goodies you see on this project. Way cool! I loved using the techniques that we had learned in the other classes so far to make this project really unique. Everyone just loved it once everything was glued down.
