HAPPY


Hi Everyone

I don't get much time to just scrap for myself, but I grabbed some inspiration from our wonderful PINTEREST and created this page .  

I love monochromatic pages and had fun playing with some of the gorgeous Dylusions paints which I have only just started to collect. I love the consistency of these paints and am looking to expand from my current four pots to many many more.



I only have three shades of pink in my collection along with white (of course) so this helped me make my extra shade.

Using a 1" wide flat brush I took generous amounts of paint and brushed them down the page to varying lengths.  In two spots down the page I did brush strokes of of glue and then scattered silver glitter across the glue.

Once the paint was dry I took some of the gorgeous Colour Blast colour paste in Lipstick along with one of the mini Kaisercraft stencils and added some texture to the background. Using the same colour Lipstick embossing powder I heat embossed my HAPPY title.  Once cool I added some wet glue (tombow) to the ends of it and add some more of the silver glitter.
Taking the Colour Blast  Spray in Lipstick (you will see I always get the entire colour set in Colour Blast) I scattered some small splats on the page.

My little wood veneer hearts and arrows were covered in some of the gorgeous Prima Art Alchemy paint in "Sparks".




I added some gorgeous venice lace under the photo before attaching it to the page.


A couple of gorgeous flower clusters never go astray of a pretty page.


I added some more highlights by stamping with a couple of different 49 and Market stamps, the "Gabi's Loose Threads" set which contained the circles and the "Gabi's Line Stitch" set which contained the lines of stitching. 
Finally there I added some enamel dots over the page.




Thanks so much for stopping by. 

Hopefully I will get back here again soon with another fun page :)

Butterfly Wishes


Welcome back Everyone, today I'm sharing another creation I have made using the Rambling Rose collection from Ultimate Crafts.

I say you can never have enough cards in your collection, so when I get a chance to pump out a handful I do. 
This one unfortunately was destined for a home before I even started.


 For my base card I used one of the Couture Creations card and envelope sets.
After selecting the papers I wanted to use from the Cardmakers Set, I cut my selected papers to 5", 4.5" and 4" squares, distressed the edges and mounted them on to the card base.  
You will notice I mounted them off centre a little further to the right of the card than the left.



Next, I deconstructed one of the Camden Cottage Rose flowers removing the back two layers of petals.  I mixed up my own mists using the Mix & Match Pigment Powders in white and rose.
Firstly I spritzed the deconstructed flower and two of the Tied and Jewelled Florettes (I removed the crystals from the centre) in the white pearlised spritz and then dried it off quickly with my heat gun.  The rose spritz wasn't playing nice and wouldn't work so I had to improvise, so using a small paint brush I painted the edges of the petals with the pearlised spritz and then the centre of the rose.  The picture below is after I had finished 'painting' it with the rose spritz.  I wasn't the happiest with it but once I resprayed it with the white spritz and the pink softened I was happy with the end result.  Once dry I added some of the rose coloured pearls to the centre of each of the smaller roses.


Using the leaf die from the Rambling Rose die set, I die cut 4 lots of leaves.  To emphasise the veins on the leaf I took my white pen and drew them in.





Once I had all the pieces ready I constructed the card.  My sentiment came from the Ephemera pack, which I mounted it on some 3D foam dots. Once in place on the centre right of the card, I attached the flowers to the left of the sentiment.  The leaves were tucked in under the flowers and I added a finishing touch of some white spritzed twine.

Little Munchkin | Artdeco Creations


Hello again Everyone
Today I'm sharing with you a layout that I have created using the Rambling Rose collection designed by the lovely Sue Smyth.


 
 Here is how I created my page.

For my layout I wanted to use multiple photos, which is something I rarely do. 
I kept the photos smaller at 3"x 4" each in size.
I double matted each of the photos in a matching yellow and mauve to match in with the patterned paper that I chose for my background. When I matted the photo on the yellow I added an extra inch in length at the bottom of the photo so that I could add a strip of butterfly ephemera.
I used 3D foam tape on the back of one of the photos to give them different dimension on the page.



Next I die cut the Mini Sprigs die set 4 times.  I attached two sets to the back of each photo before adhering the photos to the background patterned paper.


For this layout I again did some more fussy cutting of butterflies.  The butterflies in Sue's collection were just made to colour and bling up.  They are just gorgeous.  Here is one of the butterflies that I prettied up for the layout.  I created this by inking the centre of the butterfly using a matching mauve ink and once dry used the Crystalina Glitzin' Glamour in the centre.
I added the Glitzin' Glamour in Crystalina to the other butterflies as well and once dry popped on one of the mauve pearls.




I slightly deconstructed one of the white camden cottage roses, taking off the largest two layers of petals, which I kept for another layout.  I then added a matching yellow to the edges of the petals and mauve to the centre.  I then spritzed it with water to soften the colours.  After it dried I then sprayed it with some adhesive and dipped it into some of the Anna Griffin white glitter and allowed it to dry.
The small roses were dabbed into a matching purple ink and then spritzed with water to soften the colour.  

 

The little alpha stamps from the Bunting and Stamp Set from the colleciton is just the perfect size and used it for Molly's name above the photo.
The chipboard title was created by mixing some of the Anna Griffin gesso with some of the mauve pigment powder and then added to the chipboard title.  
Once dry I dabbed some of the Crystalina Glitzin' Glamour over the title lightly.



To finish, using the altered flowers along with a couple of the jewelled florettes I made clusters on the bottom edges of both photos adding the altered butterflies. I added the the largest of the butterflies to a large 3D foam dot and adhered it between the two photos, scattered a couple more butterflies around the page and added the title.










Thanks for popping in today.  Don't forget there will be more gorgeous creations to share again tomorrow.

True Love

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for dropping by today.  I am sharing you my latest creation using the Ooh La La collection from Ultimate Crafts.  
For this layout of my mum with us three kids I really wanted to incorporate white and black and found two perfect patterned papers in the collection to base my layout on.  I also wanted to use some of the Anna Griffin pastes and stencils on the layout also.  
Below is my finished layout.



I really love using the Anna Griffin Mixed Media products and particularly love the Embossing Paste.  So for this project I mixed some Cafe Latte coloured ink in with the texture paste.  Looking at the finished colour it reminded me of a brown sugar icing I make for my cupcakes.

When using stencils I always hold them in place with some removable tape or some old washi tape so it will stay in place whilst I apply the paste over the stencil on to the cardstock.  For this layout I used the Botanical Damask stencil. 

I selected two papers in the 12x12" paper stack that had white as part of the print.  The stripe print I cut a 3" wide strip x 11" long, turning it into a long banner, adhering it to the damask print patterned paper. I mounted my photo on to the white cardstock where I added the embossing paste.  

Using the Peacock Feather die and the inner square doily from the Framed Floral Set of dies.  I then sprayed a Cottage Pollen flower with adhesive spray and scattered gold glitter from the Anna Griffin Glitter Set over the spray, shaking off the excess glitter.


Once the flower is dry finish the layout by arranging the flower and die cuts on the page adding a couple more of the Couture Creations Bulk Flowers and a wooden title to finish the page.
Below are a couple of close up photos of the finished layout.

MY MUM



Hi Everyone,

I thought I would share with you today a layout I did for a scrapbooking class.  It uses dies from the Ooh La La collection from Couture Creations and then a range of laces and embellishments including a gorgeous butterfly black and white heart from Charms Creations, flair buttons from Funky Flair Studio and some wood veneers created by Corbett Creations.




Instructions
1.     Take you piece of Kraft cardstock and paint some white and black swipes similar to the below photos.


2.     Dry off with your heat gun to speed the drying process along. 
REMEMBER if you add heat to the cardstock it may curl.

3.     Once dry take the stencil and using the Anna Griffin Embossing paste add some texture to your layout.  I put some in the top left, bottom right and small amount of the bottom left as in the photo.  Place it where you like it, and as much as you want. Set aside to dry or be gentle when drying it with your heat gun (keep it a good distance away).  
    



4.     Next cut out the Ooh La La dies.  You will need one of the Framed Floral Set (cut in half) and two of the Lavish Borders in BLACK and one of the Peacock Feather in WHITE. 
 

5.     Cover your white feather die cut in Versamark ink (or similar) and then sprinkle with the pink glitter embossing powder.  Set with your heat gun.

6.     Your Embossing Paste should be at least touch dry by now so take the white pearlised spray and lightly spritz your page.  If you like unscrew the top and add some droplets on the page. Again, if you like dry off with a heat gun. 
REMEMBER if you add heat to the cardstock it may curl.

7.     Take your white flowers and spray them with adhesive spray and sprinkle them with some pink glitter. Set aside to dry.

8.     Now we move on to the construction.  Take the piece of Paris inspired Ultimate Craft Quick Release Die Paper and tear along the left edge. Attach it to your layout with some double sided tape.

9.     Take the black burlap ribbon and cut it to be two pieces 2/3 and 1/3 of the piece.  Take the smaller white venise lace and the pink venise lace and attach all to the layout as shown.  (The white and pink lace will be opposite to what you see below as the pink lace is wider than the white)
Hold the small 1/3 piece of the black burlap ribbon for later.
            

10.   Next attach the heart paper doily to the right edge of the burlap and venise ribbons. 

11.   Take the wide white venise lace and attach with glue down the right hand side of the layout. 

12.   Attach 3D foam tape vertically down the back of your photo.

13.   Take the two halves of the Framed Floral die and attach to the bottom left and top right of the back of the photo on the edges of the 3D foam tape.

14.   Attach the 1/3 piece of the black burlap ribbon to the top underside of the photo. If necessary add some double sided tape over the ribbon so that when you attach the mounted photo to the layout it holds down strongly.

15.   Attach your mounted photo to the layout.

16.   Next add the two Lavish Borders die cuts to the layout to the top left side of the photo.  Adhere your black sequin bow to the right side of the die cuts slightly overlapping the left edge of the photo

17.   Glue the organza flower strip with the pearls to the bottom left edge of the photo and the feather to the right bottom side of the photo.
Add your large black flower, tassel, burlap flower, large white glittered flower and Charm’s Creation heart to the bottom left corner of the photo.
Add two of the small white glittered flowers to the centre curves of the Lavish Borders die cuts.

18.   Adhere the three Funky Flair Studio flairs to the page with 3D foam dots. Use the twine and twist throughout your layout stapling the twine as your go to hold it in place.

19.   attach the wood veneer shapes.  In the final picture taken here I did not have the diamond wood veneers, so just place them where you like (they were added to the actual layout shown at the actual class). 
I used the banner wood veneer to add my nieces name with a rotary stamp. 

20.   Finally add some black sequins to the layout.
