Out Foxed

Another Tuesday and I'm ready to share some things I made using the New Out Foxed stamp set from Whimsie Doodles.  First here's a Mini Bag I decorated by creating a scene, I was going for a sunny blue sky in an open field look.

My next project was created to decorate my new Z Becky Brown hand bag :)  I wanted to re-create the sky and field from the Mini Bag above and added the trees from the Oh Nuts! stamp set.

Laugh out loud

Z Becky Brown challenged the team to decorate their handbag using text. I wanted something that would shout out "Carpe diem"  So I used on of the Ziva Papers and started pasting Project life tiles on.  I coloured the cute little "Abby Girl" digi  with copics and proceed to decorate the rest with stickers.

I've been struggling with trying to keep the words together and laying nice and flat then it hit me... sticky tac!! (the stuff to line your dresser drawers with) Why not treat the paper sticker like vinyl letters?  So I dug out my repositional mac tac and it worked like a charm.  The key word is "repositional" you want stuff that's not overly sticky that it will pull at your cardstock but sticky enough to temporary stick to your letters. I bet Sticky notes would work just as well. :)

Here's how to keep intact word stickers when trying to place them.

1. Clean off any access paper around and in the word.  For example the centre of the "l", "a" and "g"

 2. Peel your sticky tac and place it across your word, rub the tac gently to make sure the letters stick.  Peel the tac off pulling the letters with it.

 3. Place your word where you want it to go and rub the letters to press them onto your paper.

 4. Gently peel of the sticky tac.

 5. This also works for loose letters.  Stick them together half way on the sticky tac, position where needed and pull the tac off.

Happy place

Omgoodness I can't tell you how exciting it is to go out shopping with a little handbag that I decorated all by myself.  I"m more surprised by how many people actually notice it.  I think what I like most is the fact that it's "one of a kind",  it's unique to me and no one will have the same bag unless I part with mine. And well I don't think that will happen.  Well....maybe. Here's my latest Valentine design for Z Becky Brown.

If you want to see my gallery of inserts for the Z Becky Brown handbags stop on over to my gallery here.

Tip or Trick: I ran out of letters in "happy" so I nabbed a lighter colour (grey) letter and used my red copic to cover the grey and match it to the rest of the letters.

True Loves Kiss

What better image to have on your Z Becky Brown purse for Valentine's Day  then the iconic Snow White?? I gave her a little twist with blue eyes instead of her original brown and put her hair in a side pony tail.  I drew the image on X Press It cardstock and coloured it with Copic markers and multiliners.  Then attached the it to the Z Becky Brown Ziva paper.

Handbag Always and Forever

Z Becky Brown has challenged it's team to create inserts for Valentine's.  I had these sweet 8x8 (birthday) papers and thought they would make a great Valentine inserts.

Little Trick for making curved words

choose a circle die (or something that stickers won't really stick to) that is about the size of the arch you want to create would your letters.

Place the stickers about 1/4 onto the the circle shape

Position the letters till they are in the desired position

Gently press the stickers down and carefully pull the bottom off the die.

Winter Magic Handbag

This month's challenge is Winter for us Ziva's so I thought with all the Holiday parties to go to I should make something a festive with a touch of elegance. This is what I came up with (based on a gorgeous card on Pinterest)

I used the Z Becky Brown's handbag My White Night and Ziva papers Natural White

 I used Platinum Stickles to paint the Veneer Stars. Here's a close up

I extended the background all the way around the insert. So the handbag is decorated on all 4 sides.

 Then I die cut the poinsettia and hot glued it to a ribbon and tied it to the handle.

Materials

• Paper: Natural White: Ziva Papers, Vintage Cream and Kraft-PTI
• Fabric: Felt-red and green
• Accessories: Dies-Poinsettia: Spellbinders, Sentiment and landscape: Memory Box, Platinum Glitter:Stickles, Veneer Stars: Studio Calico

I'm a ZIVA!!

I've been keeping this a secrete for a very long time and now it's time to let the cat out of the purse!! hehehe

I'm officially a ZIVA.  Yep I'm a design team member for Z Becky Brown handbags.  Eeeeek!! Can this get any cooler?? I finally have a handbag that matches EVERYTHING!  All I have to do is swap out the inserts for something that matches.  Fabric, cardstock, copics or paint and anything else you can think of.  I have a bunch to share with you and I hope you like them very much.

For my very first assignment I created a purse insert that would remind me to be happy. One of my favorite quotes is "She creates her own sunshine" so I used it for the bases of this handbag.

I used the "White Night" handbag with nickel hardware and the smooth white handle.
