Sakura Vintage by the SeaShore Valentine Tin!!!

Vintage Valentines are my favorites. Here is an altered tin with a vintage by the SeaShore Valentine image.

Coat the tin with the Red from the Sakura Primary Color Set 3D Crystal Color Lacquer. While wet add the red doily. Adhere the image with Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer and coat the image with a thin layer of Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer.  I find the  lacquer enhances the color of the images. 

Adhere small shells around the edge of the doily using the

Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer add a few shells to the bottom of the image. With the Red Stikles add a border around the tin. Use Gold Stikles to create a border around the image. 

Fill your tin with fun messages for your VALENTINE!!!!

Supplies:

3D Crystal Lacquer: Primary Colors

CD Tin

Directions:

1. Take the pen and do an overall color (blue).

2. Give it time to dry.

3. Write with the purple lacquer pen "Love is in ..."

4. Draw a heart with a red lacquer pen.

5. Let dry and you are done.

If each color isn't given enough time to dry then they will run into one another.

Afterwards you can put a specially made CD into the tin or even a mini album for your sweetheart!

I think next time I'm going to do an over all color using mixers and then use the 3d lacquer pens. :)

Thank you for stopping by!

Valentine Candy Tin

Valentine Candy Tin - Sakura DT

It has been a while since I've been around here. A lot has been going on. Mostly the horrid flu has hit my house and had my son and I out of commission for 7 days!

Then when he was able to go back to school it was makeup work EVERY night, one night I had to help him study for 4 tests and somehow he pulled through with all A's.

Smart 12 year old. :)

Well I made this tin into a Valentine theme tin. I still need to buy the Hershey nugget candy and put "wrappers" around them to make it totally complete which I plan on doing closer to Valentine's Day and giving it to my son (he's 12) along with something else to give to his girlfriend even though he tried to tell me he wasn't giving her anything for a made up holiday. LOL.

Told him he better wait until marriage to try to pull that one.

This isn't the best picture. I tried to do it different ways to get the beauty of it but because the tin has a clear cover there is a glare that makes it look like there are double hearts in the picture and I took it without a flash. I even put paper in the bottom but I hope you get the general idea.

It really is beautiful in person.
And can't wait til I put the candy in there as well.

Supplies:

Tin with a clear window

 3D Crystal Lacquer - Primary Colors
(These are awesome!)

Tear Drops by The Robin's Nest

Helmar Quick Dry Glue

Directions:

1. Take the red and draw a heart with it. The 3D Lacquer colors are so easy to use and can use them like a pen to draw out your creation. Then fill it in slowly or else on the "film" of the tin it wants to run.

2. Then get various colors and draw squiggly lines next to it.

3. Follow up with putting some Helmar glue on tear drops and put them on the squiggly lines for great accents.

4. To really finish it off you can then cover up Hershey nuggets and put them in the tin.

I can't wait to try the set on glass. The effect it gives looks so neat in person. But be sure if you want to use more than one color close to each other that you allow the first one to dry.

Thank you for visiting!

Sakura's 3D Crystal Lacquer Primary Color Set!

I love playing with my Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer.  This week I have been using Sakura's 3D Crystal Lacquer Primary Color Set. It comes in a pack of six 0.5 oz pen style applicator bottles with a fine tip. Includes: Blue, Violet, Green, Red, Dark Brown and Yellow.

Here are some ideas for 3D elements. The first is an embellishment I plan to use on a card that can later be removed and used as an ornament or sun-catcher.

I found a pack of 12 fairy ornaments at Christmas and thought these would be great filled in with Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer.

 

I laid the fairy on my craft mat and filled in the openings with lacquer.  On this fairy I have used violet, red and yellow. For the skin I used pink from the Sakura's 3D Crystal Lacquer Pastel Colors. 

I have added several applications of lacquer to get the thickness would like.  Set aside to dry until the lacquer has dried throughly before trying to remove from the mat.  

The second project is a 3D Valentine embellishment.  The hearts and frozen Charlotte are molded from paper clay. This embellishment will be placed on card also, later to be used as magnet.

On this project I used the yellow and red from the Sakura's 3D Crystal Lacquer Primary Color Set. (The colors in the photograph are a little off from real life!) The pearls were added with clear Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer. Before the lacquer is dry sprinkle with Terri Sprouls Ultra Fine Glitter. 

The smaller heart was painted with the same red, but just a thin layer. Write on "I love you" or "Be Mine" with a Sharpie! Adhere magnet to the back.
