SUBLIMATION SEQUIN MAKE UP BAG
This personalized makeup bag …. In love 😍😍😍. There’s so much going on just to show you that it can be done with a sublimation printer (XOXO Craft Girls was a print on the @sawgrassink ) AND/OR with @artesprix fun sublimation ink pads with stamps and markers. Of course you need a heat press @craftexpressus to finish it all off.
Gift topper using die cutting
I’m determined to be a better die cut crafter … so here I am practicing. Using my two favorites - @scrapdiva.29 die cuts and @bearlyarts glue. This will be a present topper as soon as Amazon delivers the birthday present 😂😆.
EASTER FAVOR BOXES
How much do you love these? These can be for any occasion just swap out colors and add embellishments … party favor at your fingertips 🤩😍.
MVPS:
@carolinascreations_ - for the file and introducing me to these magnets! I’ve bought many so watch out for more projects. 😍🥳;
@bearlyarts - the perfect glue for all my cardstock projects (did you catch how the foil glued flat?) 💜;
OFF THE MAT “CHARLOTTE” DOLL
This project is just a little bit of everything for me - the skin tone cardstock that will be available soon on the Bearly Art site, the doll is named after my daughter, and the group of women that came together for XOXO The Encore! 😍🤩🥰.
OVERSIZED MERMAID CARD
It’s my first time making a giant card and I’m obsessed!!! Full disclosure- I’m not in love with the binding part of it but I’m on a mission to make some improvements.
This mermaid card is about 22 inches! I am a horrible card maker, but this off the mat card is def a favorite ❤️❤️❤️. All the fun details and trying out the foam board to make sure it can stand on its own … it was too fun.
off the mat: wednesday addams lol doll
t’s an LOL Doll x Wednesday Addams (28 inches) and I’m in love 😍😍😍.
Catch all the details on YouTube and the replay of the Live with Maria from @foreverkrafty (IG). The file is from Kaela @thesaltyyankee (IG). And drawing a lot of inspo from @carolinascreations_ (IG) after using tulle for the shaker 3D letter. Long live tulle !!! 😂😂🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻.
off the mat: buddy the elf
He’s so simple yet so cute 💚💚💚. He’s 30 inches and pretty much seamless. I love all the colors that were used with a variety of cardstock - shimmer, glitter, Swiss dots. And I loved duplicating the holly and adding some shape/curl to make it stand out on his shirt.
OFF THE MAT: POKEMON PIKACHU AND DITTO
I’ve done pikachu before and didn’t love it because it’s a difficult character to make seamless. So I decided to do both characters where they are seamless and add them together. The 9 is covering a seam but it was a good place for it anyway ☺️. Together the piece is a great size and perfect as a photo prop.
OFF THE MAT: DOPEY FROM SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS
Dopey!!!! Two tips for an off the mat project - I hope it was helpful 💚💚💚. Actually 3 if you count using @bearlyarts glue 😁💚.
OFF THE MAT: LA DODGERS HELLO KITTY
Hello Kitty at 22 inches with a moving baseball ⚾️… absolutely love everything about this gal … from the rhinestones to the glitter blue cardstock to the spinning baseball. I had to add the clock mechanism to an off the mat project for the first time. What do you think?
CUSTOM AVATAR OFF THE MAT & TEA PARTY NAME CAKE TOPPER
Look at this cutie pie! I had the client work with @thesaltyyankee to create an svg file. Then I got to add all the details. She’s 33 inches and just a doll ❤️❤️❤️.
I wanted to keep the dress simple because it was too hard to match and it would have been a bit distracting. Instead I went for the pom fringe, the layered metallic pink glasses, and the moving bracelet. And off to a tea party …
OFF THE MAT: BUZZ LIGHTYEAR AND SOX
Ok I’m pretty obsessed with this! My original plan was to do it 30
Inches. While I’m cutting I decide to add lights to Buzz’s suit. Then I’m done assembling and about to do the foam board when I decided to add a bauble for Sox’s name tag.
OFF THE MAT: TURNING RED MEI LEE
I love how this turned out- from her sparkling hair to the furry flock fur . Do you love the fur???
Details - 20 inch character in cardstock and using flock from Pink & Main; I mixed two different colors flock to get the right shade of orange.
OFF THE MAT: BRUNO FROM ENCANTO
Bruno, Bruno, Bruno … he’s done! I started him before the convention and finished after coming back … and so I was able to incorporate adhesive flock from @pinkandmain after seeing this at @namtaartmaterialsassociation in Florida. It’s a lot of fun to work with.
Special thanks to @thecraftyblock for the shredded tassels to add to his shirt. If you haven’t seen her Bruno, you need to see what she used for his flip flops! Still my favorite part ❤️❤️❤️.
Svg file is from @thesaltyyankee !!! As well as the other encanto characters ❤️❤️❤️.
Next up is the candle from encanto with the new lights I found from @chibitronics 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻…
OFF THE MAT: ISABELA FROM ENCANTO
I had soooo many cool details for Mirabel that I was worried Isabela would be a flop. And I had already done Frida with lots of flowers. But I love how she turned out … looking like so much more than just a flat cardstock project. (And different from Frida cause I was worried this would look like a Frida 2.0 version).
OFF THE MAT: MIRABEL FROM ENCANTO
It’s all in the details … I love the raised glasses… the htv flock for the black in the shirt … and any time you have an enclosed area like the black butterfly, you can easily get rid of the seams running through by cutting a piece of black cardstock to add over it. In the end, with a 48 inch character, she will have probably a total of .5 inches in seams that won’t be noticeable.
OFF THE MAT: TEENAGE BELLE FOR TOGETHER WE RISE
Teenage Belle - she has her teddy bear which has a soft fluffy feel (flock htv from Poli-tape HTV) and her shoes feel like real tennis shoes (white htv). It’s been so much experimenting and adding to these typical cardstock projects. What do you think??? .
