Altered Pringles Can

Marks Finest Papers a Heinrich Company is having an exciting Christmas in July Blog Hop/Challenge (it is really Christmas in July/August. Each day there is a fun tutorial on making/altering something for the upcoming Christmas season. Today is the last day (Day 5) and the challenge is a wonderful Advent Calendar. You have until August 10th to participate if you want to be eligible to win the great prize (it is a big one) but to win you have to do all 5 days.


I loved day 3's project which is an altered Pringles can. You can fill it with cookies, candy, dollar bills, gift cards, etc. I decided to try it and this is what I came up with:



You could also leave the Pringles in the can and give it as a gift and maybe add a gift card to you tag. It could be changed to a birthday or get well (fill it with cough drops and vitamins) container too.

I used the MFP Please Snow Stamp Set and the Holiday Tag Set.

    Nancy, what some great ideas for your altered can. I'll take the dollars, or better yet, fill it with ten's and send it along. LOL
    Those Christmas trees are so pretty. It is really time for me to start doing some Christmas things. I love your project. Have a fabulous weekend, my friend.

    Wow, this is so pretty, and so far from a Pringles-can-look! Love the frosty, wintry feel of it.

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day.  The paper in the middle is from the Stamperia Forest

The Snuggle or Struggle is Real

Hello friends, Isn't this new House Mouse Image the cutest?  I am so glad that Spellbinders has partnered with House Mouse and brought in new images.  I was inspired to add birch trees and snow after seeing THIS  pretty card.  The snow is done with Snowtex which is one of my favorite winter mediums, and I painted the birch trees with black acrylic paint mixed with water and painted with an old credit card.  Everything else was painted with Daniel Smith watercolors. This is being entered in the HMFMC#402 which is Anything Goes with an option of rainbow.  While you might not think of a rainbow when you see this card, I actually used a lot of colors in the painting: yellows, browns, pinks, reds, and blues.  Some are not obvious because they are mixed with other colors or a very light.   Thanks for dropping by.  I have been a little under the weather lately, but I am feeling much better.   Hugz, Nancy

Brotherhood Wishes, a Paper Purse, and a Special Mug

Hello friends. No more fun travel or parade pictures - back to every day normal life.  On a positive note, I have been able to fit in some art. Hereis an art journal spread I finished this weekend. I am adding it to Alison's Summer Landscape challenge theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .   I started the pages in my journal around July 4th after seeing Dina's stripes inspired Mixed Media challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com and got as far as stamping some foliage at the bottom.  I was stuck after that, and I wasn't sure where to go with it next.  A few days later, I was clearing out some things in the craft room and ran across a Thomas Kinkade book I cut up and use in my Bible Journaling.  There was a picture of  the San Francisco Bridge and another of some mountains so I tore them out and added them to my page with Gesso representing some of the beautiful things in America and also Alison's countryside theme.  They did not blend in very well and I needed to alter them to wo
