Choose to shine!

Hello and happy Thursday! Today I´m sharing my second card project for the new paper goods STAMPlorations reveal with the Carpe Diem Ephemera Tiles set. Are you ready for some more reveal goodness?

This time I did a shaker card. I “hid” the Carpe Diem tiles behind the confetti and the patterned paper “windows”. When the confetti moves around, you are able to read all the tile texts. A fun card to send to someone who loves confetti and shaker cards :).

After die-cutting the circles and adhering the acetate on place with the confetti and tiles underneath, I then decorated the card with some punched butterflies to add even more texture and interest to the card. Next I inked a white cardstock piece with Distress Ink in orange and added a STAMPlorations clear sticker on top. A button for decor and the card was done. The confetti, by the way, is by Tonic Studios (Nuvo).

It has been so much fun using these tiles on card projects. I still have two bonus cards to share, but that will have to wait until next week. So make sure you come back next week for a bit more Ephemera tile fun.

Have a great day and see you soon!

Oh Deer! layout – The Wild Hare Kits

Veröffentlicht am von

Hello and happy Wednesday & Merry Christmas!!! Today the Wild Hare Kits design team girls again share their scraplift projects. This month, we are scraplifting the lovely Daniela.

Here is the layout I chose to lift:

And here is my take on it:

I used almost every single paper from my December Deluxe Kit on this page. I´ve got the Pink Paislee Together for Christmas, the Heidi Swapp Winter Wonderland as well as the Crate Paper Snowflake collection papers punched on this page. And I love the result.

I used a Martha Stewart circle punch for punching all the tiny circles for the patterned papers. Then I adhered them in place in rows, slightly overlappingly. As my backgorund I used the Heidi Swapp Tis The Season paper with the polka dots instead of choosing a white paper. I figured it would better work with the winter theme :).

I also used the lovely December deer cut file on the page. Isn´t it adorable??!

For decoration (creating the clusters, like on Daniela´s page) I used the Crate Paper Snowflake collection stickers and ephemera. Some bits are adhered on place with glue, some with 3D foam.

These scraplifts are so much fun! I like them lots, because they give me the possibility to try out something new every time!

Now it´s time to wish you all a lovely Christmas time, lot´s of nice moments with your friends and loved ones and a few days of peace and quiet :)!

Happy scrapping,

Layout with The Wild Hare Kits kit

Veröffentlicht am von

Hi there lovelies and happy Friday!! Last month I had the honour of doing a guest design team gig over at the Wild Hare Kit kit club and I loved it! I noticed that I´ve really missed scrapbooking alot! And now I just cannot stop scrapping..

So, therefore even if my GDT month is gone, I´ve still got some papers left from my Deluxe Kit and I am using them all up. So be prepared for a few more layouts to come. And besides, we took like 4000 Fotos on our vacation to Brazil last summer, so there is plenty to scrap about still.

Here is my latest layout:

I did a bit of fussy cutting and also punched circles and butterflies for the page and alighned all the bits and bobs along the patterned paper edges. But before I adhered everything on place, I gave the background a Glimmer Mist treatment with Gold And Aquamarine tones. I also sneaked some stamp images onto the background (stamp by VivaLasVegaStamps). Very light and subtle stamping.

To get the journaling stand out a bit better from the leafy background paper, I applied some gesso with a paint brush to the area I wanted to have my journaling on. That way it´s more readable. That´s it for today. Since I´ve been scrapping so much, my white cardstock stack has reduced dramatically 🙂 … time to order some more, I think! It feels so good to be back at scrapping again. I also noticed that I´m adding much more journaling to the pages at the moment, feeling the need to put the words down on paper. Recording and documenting those memories!

See you soon with another layout maybe!

Sanna´s CCB Christmas craft kit – Project No. 4

Veröffentlicht am von

Hello there, everyone! Time for my last project and video, created with the CCB Christmas craft kit. For this Christmas wreath I used pretty much all of the leftover paper pieces that were available after creating the previous 3 projects with it. For details, see the end of this post and go to my YouTube channel to watch all the kit related videos.

Here is the finished wreath:

I punched lots of circles in various sizes from the small paper leftover pieces and from the packaging material (that works great for projects like this too). Then I used up all the burlap and quite much of the sisal ribbon too.

For decoration I added some wooden pearls and paper leaves and flowers from my own stash (older product). This kind of projects work great for de-stashing! So many little bits and pieces can be used. The wooden pearls are adhered with a glue gun to keep then from falling off later.

I´ve wrinkled all the paper circles and layered them on top of each other to create “flowers” to decorate the wreath.

All in all this too, is a pretty easy to do project, but still makes for a great room or wall decoration. Lay it on a table and add a candle into the middle and you have a really nice Christmas assembly done in no time. Or hang the wreath to a door for additional Chrismas decor.

Here is the start-to-finish video again for you to watch! Hope you like it:

Happy crafting,

Girly, candy toned stenciled tags – STAMPlorations

Veröffentlicht am von

 

Hello everyone, Sanna here again today with another STAMPlorations mixed media tag set tutorial. This time I chose very girly and candy toned colors for my tags. These tags would work great for anything girly themed – as a summer party present, birthday party or even as a wedding party present tag.

I do not often use pink since I have a very boy dominated household at home, so it was really nice to create something girly for a change!! Here is what I did:

I had a piece of old, misted, book paper  lying on my table so I used that as a starting point for my first tag. I adhered the book paper onto the tag and then took some modeling paste and added yellow and red spray ink droplets on top of the paste.

 Next I mixed the spray ink with the paste to create these cancy color pastes and after that I applied the paste onto the tag thru the Floral Flutes stencil. This might be one of my faves from the new release (among a few other ones ;-)…). I love the pattern it creates!! To keep the stencil from moving around while I apply the paste, I attached the stencil to my working surface with two strips of washi tape.

After that I took the residue paste and a  sheet of music note paper and applied the paste onto that piece of paper using the same stencil like previously.

 Next I took several pages from an old latin book and placed them into a spraying box (just to protect my desk and walls..). Using a red and pink spray ink I first placed the stencil on top of the page and lightly sprayed the spray ink tone over the surface. Make sure to keep a nice distance to the stencil, otherwise the spray will spread underneath the stencil and bild “lakes” of color and the pattern will not turn out very nice.

 After spraying I removed the stencil and used my heat gun to dry the paper quickly. Then I carefully flipped the stencil upside down and placed the misted surface onto another book page and rolled over the surface with a brayer to make sure the residue ink would soak into the paper. Then I just removed the stencil and dried the paper with a heat gun.

 I repeated these steps with a pink spray ink tone too. This is how the pages look like after misting.

 I then took two flower punches (you could use die cut dies too!) and punched flowers from all of the book pages I had previously treated with the spray ink and a stencil. I wanted to create DIY layered flowers out of the stenciled pages.

For that I needed two big flowers – the first I left untouched, the second I cut open so that I could glue two petals together. That way it forms a “standing” flower with a smaller diameter. I needed 4-5 smaller flowers to form the center of the flower. I just randomly bent them into half and then once more, forming a very random small flower. I now adhered the flowers together, starting from the biggest one and ending with the very tiny center pieces.

This is how the flowers look like when they are finished. I added some skeleton petals to go with the DIY flowers and some paper ribbon and a piece of lace  for decoration. Finally I added some Nuvo Drops in antique rose tone to add a little sparckle to the tags. I also wanted to add a stamped sentiment to each tag, so I took a piece of white cardstock and stamped a Fond Expressions 2 sentiment with black stamp ink three times onto the paper. Then i took a pink spray ink tone and added some color with my finger to create a toned background for the sentiments. Now all I needed to do was to fussy cut the pieces and attach them to the tag. Some ribbon to go with each tag and I was done. This is what the finished pieces look like:

I hope you enjoyed this little step-by-step tutorial and get inspired to create some stenciled, toned paste background tags yourself.  Don´t forget to join in on our monthly Mixed Media Challenge!!!
