Also I used Fiber from the Accent Trick's booster pack from the Valentines collection. M.A.P. will be adding some within the next few weeks to their store. (this is a new challenge to sale online so bear with us) There are so many aspects to getting all the social media going & an online store.

( I normally use a mix of fonts to achieve the desired look-I have a HP printer and just print out to size and alter.)
 The technique used: Deep Embossing    using a variety of the embossing powders    from   Stampendous.

These three pictures show the detail and  how pretty the finished votive is when it is lite up. You can see the sheen of the Copper Metallic Embossing Paste when the light from the candle reflects on the pine cone. This is a preview of a four technique demo.  I will be adding supply list soon for this project.

Mercantile & Artistic Paperie your journey to creativity.

Acronym monogram for Mercantile & Artistic Paperie

Today I would like to share some images of the monogram letters for M.A.P.. Featuring the Accent Tricks embellishment pack and collage methods. You can check out more images on our Facebook page.  This technique we used last year for the senior class of a homeschool co-op group. We enjoyed making each letter personalized to each senior. In the future at some point we will add a how to video for the varies techniques used. Have a beautiful day-Ellie G.

Business cards

        Yay, our business cards came in and we are very Alegre.
                                We are about to shove off and get on our way.

Store opening on Etsy.

We are so excited about putting the details together on M.A.P..  Thank you so much for being patient as this is a brand new adventure. We had hoped to have everything put together and Mercantile & Artistic Paperie on Etsy opened by the end of September. There are so many small details that need to be put into place to have this move forward. I am so excited about everything. This is a dream of mine for many years and now along with my dear sweet daughter they are about to come to pass. We hope to have some new pictures uploaded and some items on Etsy by the end of the first week in October.  One thing that is very important to me is to use recycled products whenever possible. 

Thank you for visiting.
