Put A Gnome On It - Gift Bags

Hi! Dana here today sharing a set of gift bags that I created to help promote the Susan K. Weckesser Spot The Gnomey Contest. I picked up some chalkboard gift bags and used chalk ink along with the Insta-Cute Stamp Set and the Susan K. Weckesser Live in Color Stencil to decorate the front of each gift bag.

I had a lot of fun stamping gnomes onto colorful pieces of Core'dinations Tillie Dot Cardstock using the What's Up Gnomey Stamp Set. I then paper pieced the gnomes together and added them to the frames. The texture from the Tillie Dot Cardstock helps give my bags some extra wow factor!

I hope you all consider joining the Spot The Gnomey Contest! Here's all the details:

LET LOVE FLY~

Hello Friends!! Welcome to the SUMMER BLOG HOP between UmWowStudio and Susan K Weckesser Inc. We'll be sharing gorgeous bright and shining inspiration with you from both teams all week long. Be sure to keep visiting, hopping and commenting to enter to win one of TWO prize packages. Each day is chock full of goodness and we don't want you to miss a thing.


The Susan K. Weckesser design team is pairing up with UmWow Studio this week!  We were given wonderful UmWow Studio products to work with.  I made this Art Journal layout called "Let Love Fly".

I started by making a background with with 4 different colors of Ranger Distress Ink.  I sprayed it with some water and let it dry.  Re-Inker drops were splashed around the page.  I then used the Susan K. Weckesser Numbers Stencil and the UmWow "Heart Hands" Mask.  I stamped Susan K. Weckesser "A Little Grunge Love" Heart stamp on the pages and added some wings from Sin City Stamps.  Some doodles and UmWow Chipboard "Layered Hearts" finished it off.

This is a close up of the UmWow Mask and the Susan K. Weckesser Heart Stamp.  You can see the splatter really well and the outline around the wings.

Now, go, create and "Let Love FLY"!

Here is the lineup for the week. Again, don’t forget to leave a comment each day to be entered to win one of TWO surprise prize packages! We will pick winners after July 27 and announce on both Susan K Weckesser and UmWowStudio blogs.

Susan K. Weckesser + UmWow Studio Event - Day 4

Hello Friends!! Welcome to the SUMMER BLOG HOP between UmWowStudio and Susan K Weckesser Inc. We'll be sharing gorgeous bright and shining inspiration with you from both teams all week long. Be sure to keep visiting, hopping and commenting to enter to win one of TWO prize packages. Each day is chock full of goodness and we don't want you to miss a thing.

Hi! Dana here today sharing a 6x6 canvas that I created for the Susan K. Weckesser and UmWow Studio partnership event. The UmWow Studio Light Bulb Mask inspired this bright piece.

I applied a thin layer of light molding paste over the Light Bulb Mask and then topped it with one of my husband's old guitar amp tubes. I love using them for funky light bulbs. I highlighted some of the light rays with Clearsnap Sundance Smooch. I cut the colorful letters from the Susan K. Weckesser Live, Love, Create Patterned Paper.

I colored UmWow Studio Layered Circles Chipboard with ink and then used them separately, rather than layered, to pair with the colored circles that I cut from the Susan K. Weckesser Color Burst Patterned Paper.

I stamped around the edge of the canvas with the Susan K. Weckesser A Little Bit Washi Stamp Set. I used the bottom piece of an UmWow Studio Layered Banner Chipboard as a corner accent above.

I finished the canvas with some Vintage Photo Distress Ink around the edges, a light coat of white mist and some hand-dyed ribbon.

Here is the lineup for the week.  Again, don’t forget to leave a comment each day to be entered to win one of TWO surprise prize packages! We will pick winners after July 27 and announce on both Susan K Weckesser and UmWowStudio blogs.
