<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>for spring cleaning your crafting supplies. </b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Spring is on its way, at least the calendar says so. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So I thought I would share some tips and ideas for organizing your craft supplies.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have an update on my <a href="http://shopcafecrop.blogspot.com/2012/09/distress-ink-foam-blending-pad-storage.html">Distress Ink/Foam Blending Pad Storage</a>. I took the laminated sheet out of the plastic envelope and punched 3 holes along one edge. I now store it in a small 3-ring binder.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuJmyDVu0mVEBbIdrIHFCj_H24bg1Lr3SQ0daKQwOA2Erf0gc0wsnoJVqFaxrtftkvE85Px5khEFplygtGOO94MOsugOPBgVo1orC6ErkO_MobvynFpA0wtp_Pc_TwmXghB2-ttjL7uJZT/s1600/2014-02-27+22.44.17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuJmyDVu0mVEBbIdrIHFCj_H24bg1Lr3SQ0daKQwOA2Erf0gc0wsnoJVqFaxrtftkvE85Px5khEFplygtGOO94MOsugOPBgVo1orC6ErkO_MobvynFpA0wtp_Pc_TwmXghB2-ttjL7uJZT/s1600/2014-02-27+22.44.17.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The benefit of this change is the top of my hand doesn't get covered in ink when removing a foam pad. I also have a sheet for Archival Ink foam pads.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have also created boxes for my Distress Ink pads using photo boxes.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqkBSswnDcXW4Nx7ZsnEhGeHHknIx7JDu04GD0czAmqxmU5HZzlPkoEYZ1OjWM2XWIMhk3osOHtzSmjOtOnvO0hdSssovowGpj1GsK_wOhw8rb0U3uUHMNxAtz30gL2yoTcWnyhmjU6DoH/s1600/Ink1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqkBSswnDcXW4Nx7ZsnEhGeHHknIx7JDu04GD0czAmqxmU5HZzlPkoEYZ1OjWM2XWIMhk3osOHtzSmjOtOnvO0hdSssovowGpj1GsK_wOhw8rb0U3uUHMNxAtz30gL2yoTcWnyhmjU6DoH/s1600/Ink1.jpg" height="200" width="133" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I loved how well they worked so I made them for all my rectangular ink pads.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-4302jwAOi7Oy1DW5rQXgs4CwUoiP8-D_MYEyUtF-M0mnD81iRyERBsjg_N1E6hE8wM4sXQe3o4m8VUOSSQIMfC7EOp-wgKIx1tiyHYjoZkqECyyMeBnOIQfG-JAUYLh9NDnfFchmsjc3/s1600/Ink4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-4302jwAOi7Oy1DW5rQXgs4CwUoiP8-D_MYEyUtF-M0mnD81iRyERBsjg_N1E6hE8wM4sXQe3o4m8VUOSSQIMfC7EOp-wgKIx1tiyHYjoZkqECyyMeBnOIQfG-JAUYLh9NDnfFchmsjc3/s1600/Ink4.jpg" height="127" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My collection of Copic markers has been growing and I needed more storage space. I created this storage box after several found on Pinterest.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBr3Y5mP4grULHfBiN5f4TjUIqkT3HJofhn_mLeBzrHbG5EsfuRmk6y-EntRYfORaTdUsbV0k4gF1PxVbbp6V7ufUecl0qqBtzUTt-pKCbfGtCMkL9Ap2d9tQoaOVPk4Hi1BCDr9qUqPYz/s1600/Copic5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBr3Y5mP4grULHfBiN5f4TjUIqkT3HJofhn_mLeBzrHbG5EsfuRmk6y-EntRYfORaTdUsbV0k4gF1PxVbbp6V7ufUecl0qqBtzUTt-pKCbfGtCMkL9Ap2d9tQoaOVPk4Hi1BCDr9qUqPYz/s1600/Copic5.jpg" height="191" width="200" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It is an Iris brand card storage box with the dividers removed. I cut a piece of ceiling light tile to fit inside it. It can hold 180 markers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here is what I am currently using. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi21GBlYVdNcAPuMokUvEB9huUlXlEjSA9HZv_KbF7hDXEhqod2lEsSfP7TCajUVvTqpQbjQpOpZ7erMgmr7ifBd0v_XyfoKx7zdf2lMJcK3umNHO_zwt3pK9hiiK-2vuetw2jaAWulJS0w/s1600/Copic3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi21GBlYVdNcAPuMokUvEB9huUlXlEjSA9HZv_KbF7hDXEhqod2lEsSfP7TCajUVvTqpQbjQpOpZ7erMgmr7ifBd0v_XyfoKx7zdf2lMJcK3umNHO_zwt3pK9hiiK-2vuetw2jaAWulJS0w/s1600/Copic3.jpg" height="237" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I used an Art Bin Super Satchel Double Deep with the dividers. For 7 of the sections, I created an insert from mat board to divide it in half. This made spaces for each color group and 1 larger section. In the large section is an acrylic block and stamps perfect for coloring. One section also has stamp pads and color swatches. I like that it makes it convenient to take to crops or when traveling, just add paper. The lid does remove if needed when working in a small space.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thanks to Pinterest and a recent trip to Ikea, I was able to organize many of my paper punches. </span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidFKmCXBeTzavADKUkNc9qvGwbdLCrB_eDpYx5SvheaVKJlY4bgpBKmVwWrxx4YEf3FPaIjZ16e6ee6NV3GCYvYju9KOCQTxEc9RQcU8_YvyWbYpcnTcidMYKmg1xo5cKHmj17FXlvXBKs/s1600/Punches1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidFKmCXBeTzavADKUkNc9qvGwbdLCrB_eDpYx5SvheaVKJlY4bgpBKmVwWrxx4YEf3FPaIjZ16e6ee6NV3GCYvYju9KOCQTxEc9RQcU8_YvyWbYpcnTcidMYKmg1xo5cKHmj17FXlvXBKs/s1600/Punches1.jpg" height="200" width="98" /></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I used the Bygel bars attached to a piece of plywood hung on the wall. For the larger punches, I had to add a plywood block under the bracket (as you can see I still need to paint them). Now I can find them easier. I still have punches in wire baskets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My favorite way to store my paper is in paper storage containers. I have plain cardstock sorted by color families. Patterned paper I sort by theme (holidays, sports, baby, wedding...). </span><br />

The type of paper you use for a project really does make a difference.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently, I have been playing with the Ranger Specialty Stamping Paper. This is a matte coated paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some differences I discovered.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This first card I used just basic white cardstock to stamp the center image. I colored the flower stamp with Distress Markers (Worn Lipstick, Barn Door and Peeled Paint) and stamped. I repeated the process for each stamp. Then I stamped the sentiment with Ranger's Archival Ink. The last step was to ink the background with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink using the foam blending tool. This blended and muted the flowers, but i really liked the flowers before I inked the background.</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the second card, I started with the Specialty Stamping Paper. I stamped the same images. After stamping the images, I dried them with a heat tool. Then I inked the background. This time the flowers are brighter and crisper. The background is a little lighter and smoother because of the coating. I really liked how this turned out.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created a few more cards using both the basic white cardstock and the Specialty Stamping Paper.</div>

These two cards have basic white cardstock for the bases and the centers are Specialty Stamp Paper. The images on the cardstock are more muted, while the images on the Stamping Paper are more vibrant. </div>

For the next two cards I used the white cardstock bases and Stamping Paper for the center, but I only colored the image one time. After stamping the image, I sprayed it with a little water and stamped it again. I like how the image turned out. It created a softer look, but the image is still crisp. </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Yesterday was a long day of presentations from vendors. Matt was a good listener, so if you want to find out what is new, just ask him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Today has been a little more exciting. He is becoming somewhat of an international celebrity. He meet Yumi from Japan. Then he met Monica from Spain. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Our first class was with Sizzix. We worked on 6 different projects. The first we made a treat box with a cut-out on the side.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Then we played with making a dimensional flower, a strawberry basket with strawberries, a window card, a card in the style of Andy Warhol,</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Tonight's class was with Faber-Castell. We made a 3D canvas using their new Whipped Spackling and Chalkboard paint. The Gelatos were fun to use.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After a stressful weekend wondering if we would make it out of Chicago, we finally made it. Our flight was an hour late due to the fact that the pilots had a difficult time getting to the airport from downtown. Then we had a crazy ride from the airport to the hotel. We went to areas I wouldn't go by myself. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It feels like a heat wave here. When we left it was -12°, the temperature here is balmy 65°. The bad part of that is most of the week will be spent inside at the trade show, the good part is we will have classes and new products to share with you. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">What would you like to see? What should Craft Matt be on the look out for?</span><br />

I had a jar of Victorian Velvet, which just didn't scream Halloween. So my challenge was to try to use the glitter I had. The more I thought about it snowflakes came to mind (I do like snow).</span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">First, I created the background with Chipped Sapphire, Picket Fence, Victorian Velvet and Brushed Pewter Distress Paints. I stamped the snowflakes using Adirondack Pigment Ink in Snow Cap and Distress Ink in Victorian Velvet. Next, I cut out snowflakes out of Grungeboard and stained them with Picket Fence, Chipped Sapphire, and Victorian Velvet. Then, I added Victorian Velvet Distress Glitter, Distress Stickles Glitter in Clear Rock Candy. Finally, I stamped the "let it snow" and added ribbon stained with Victorian Velvet.</span></span>Lisa McGushionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16688142535298871324noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510122348831925538.post-2553856494776359602013-10-28T08:53:00.000-05:002013-10-28T09:00:28.502-05:00Cafe Crop Special Events for November 2013<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It has been a busy 2 months at Cafe Crop. I finished my version of Tim Holtz'a 12 Tags of 2013 for September. The technique this month was using stencils. I haven't purchased any of Tim's new stencils yet, so I used some of the many stencils I have in my stash. I like how the 2 tags turned out slightly different. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I was so busy I didn't get my 12 Tags of 2013 for August finished in time, but I did make it. I shortened the tag to make it fit on an A2 card, which I sent to my sister for her birthday. </span></span>Lisa McGushionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16688142535298871324noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510122348831925538.post-87043557491967842872013-08-05T16:21:00.000-05:002013-08-05T16:21:39.906-05:00Cafe Crop August '13 Classes<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is my version of Tim Holtz's tag for June. I used Distress Markers to color the flower stamp. Next I aged it with some distress ink on the edge and a waterbrush. For the tag, I used Distress Ink, Stain and paint on my craft mat to create the marble background. Then I added a word stamp to the background. Last I attached the watercolor paper to the tag. I love how the background turned out.</span></span>Lisa McGushionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16688142535298871324noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510122348831925538.post-6156915904162927762013-06-29T08:31:00.002-05:002013-06-29T08:31:58.421-05:00Copic Certification<div style="text-align: center;">
