More Want2Scrap™, PSA Essentials, and Spellbinders™ and a tip!

My favorite type of pictures to scrap are beach, pool and summer pictures so now I am ready to dig in and play. I fell in love right away the Anchor's Aweigh Peel & Stick Stamps Set by PSA Essentials. These are ridiculously adorable and perfect for coloring. I NEVER color stamps...but it was FUN and I know I will do it more in the future!


Want2Scrap's™ 72 Count - Amber Rhinestones were perfect for that tiny sun! Spellbinders™ Classic Scalloped Circles Nestablilities™ # S4-124 diecuts were an awesome size to show off these cute images!


I sprinkled 72 Count - Turquoise Rhinestones in several sizes all around the layout...they were the perfect little accent to the circle designed pattern paper.


It seems I can't even do a layout anymore with out my beloved Nestabling™ . The Nestabling™ Petite Scalloped Circles Rhinestones in Turquoise were perfect for this. I have a great little tip for you! By cutting a circle of Nestabling™ and putting it up against my pattern paper I created a great way to frame some journaling! There is no need to cut it either...if you want to use the full shape as a frame for you journaling that would work great too! Beacon Quick Dry was the perfect little adhesive to glue my journaling down with...love that is dries so fast!

Summer Blingin!

My little Beach Babe is just soaking up all that shine from the Bling! Did you know that you don't have to have a die template to use the amazing Nestabling™ from Want2Scrap™. Take a closer look at my 8 x 8 layout, half of my project has the Nestabling™ used on a die cut and the other half does not..

I used the Nestabling™ Classic Diamonds Silver Rhinestones bling and the Nestabling™ Fancy Tags Two Black Rhinestones. I used the Grand Calibur™ from Spellbinders™ to die cut the S4-288 Classic Diamonds

Nestabilities™, I then took the Nestabling™ Classic Diamonds Silver Rhinestones and simply peeled it off the package and placed it on my die cut. I then took the remaining pieces and cut them in half to place on either side of my photo. See this is where you don't need the die cut to use the Nestabling™.

My paper choice was On The Boardwalk by Graphic 45, the colors where just perfect for this little Beach Babe. I trimmed the Beach piece and distressed the edges, inked them with some Chestnut Roan Fluid Chalk and quickly placed the Nestabling™ Fancy Tags Two Black Rhinestones. I adhered all of my pieces to my layout using Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry. I distressed the outer edge of my layout and inked the edges with black distressing ink, added some chipboard letters from My Minds Eye and glittered the letters up to make it look like sand.. To tie my layout together, so to speak, I used this really cute burlap trimmings that Want2Scrap™ only carries at the consumer shows...sorry f you want some of that you'll just have to take a trip and see Michele in person, I am sure she could help you find it. I added some 72 count Black Rhinestones on top of the burlap trimming and there you have it......my little beach babe.....Summer Blingin with Want2Scrap™. Thank you for stopping by today and make sure you check out all the amazing products, I am sure you will find one or two you just can't live without.

Mix and Match Nestabling™

Good morning! Today, I have a card with a matching notepad and tutorial to share with you and some mixing and matching with the Nestabling™. Although Nestabling™ is made to match specific die cuts you can mix and match the Nestabling™ with other die cuts and the possibilities are endless as to what you can create. For the card and notepad I used Nestabling™ Heart Circles Lavender Pearls and Nestabling™ Scalloped Hearts Pink Rhinestones with other die cuts. To start I dry brushed two of the Chipboard Embellishments - Style A using Warm White paint. Then I brushed on some GemTac™ from Beacon Adhesives™ and added a clear chunky glitter. I wanted some of the raw chipboard to show through so I did not apply the GemTac™ to the entire piece of chipboard.Next I used the Grand Calibur™ and S4-296 Nested Hearts from Spellbinders™ to cut/emboss the the heart shapes with Orchid Cascata Felt cardstock. Then I left the paper in the die template and used the die template as a stencil and added ink and I also inked the edges after removing the paper using Dusty Concord ink. Then I added Nestabling™ Scalloped Hearts Pink Rhinestones to the heart die cuts. Using the Grand Calibur™ and S4-293 Lacey Circles #5 I cut/embossed the circle shape. Then I added Nestabling™ Heart Circles Lavender Pearls and Sprinkle-N-Sparkle Lacy Lilac Glitter.Here is a close up of the glitter. Here is a close up of the top of the notepad. I also added a bow and a paper rose to the center of the heart.Here is a close up of the card front. Supplies

Getting le romantique with Want2Scrap™

Hi Want2Scrap™ fans! I'm here with a card that would be perfect for summer weddings or anniversaries. Nothing like some gorgeous Want2Scrap™ pearls to spell "romance". I used 72 Count - White Pearls - Self Adhesive to embellish the butterfly body and the hand folded rosette.

What's not to love about scalloped heart Want2Scrap™ Nestabling™ and Spellbinders™ Nestabilities dies? I used the largest die and Nestabling™ Scalloped Hearts White Pearl to cut and adorn a dramatic black floral paper from Graphic45. I also used the next size down Nestabling™ to make a second border of pearls. I used the great tip from our DT member ,Terre, to add some fine glitter to the top of the Nestabling™ adhesive.

Thanks so much for coming by!

I love BLING!

{How 'bout YOU?}

I really, really, REALLY do!

That's probably not a big surprise, since we're here in the glorious
land of bling.... {!} But what would be a surprise, would be if I could
type in F-R-E-N-C-H... {Hee Hee} Wouldn't THAT be something?

So, instead, I blinged out a French, flavored card!
Inspired by some truly beautiful paper from Graphic 45™...
and the fact that my dear, sweet mother is currently
traveling, in PARIS! {Lucky HER!} I was feeling the "amour!"

{Good thing that BLING is a universal language! }

So, at least I can say I'm CRAFTING with a bit of an accent...!

... And I'm armed with a fist full of fantastic Want2Scrap™ bling!
There's nary a project that doesn't need to get properly blinged up
for the occasion, now that I know the MOST exquisite source for BLING!
You can NEVER have too many of these beauties! The Finesse Swirls™,
are one of THE most versatile and useful designs to accompany our
huge assortment of Nestabling™ shapes. I adore having many on
hand to embellish my blinged-out creations to their most heavenly
festooned potential! {*Although many of the Finesse Swirls™ are,
currently, sold out, continue to check back! As you might imagine,
these are so useful for SO many crafting needs - so they GO, fast!
Take my advice, when they return... GRAB 'EM, they're HOT!}

But back to the topic of Nestabling™ - {*Swoon!*} I will NEVER get tired
of how BEAUTIFULLY these gorgeous shapes adhere to corresponding
Spellbinders™ dies! It makes be-jeweling paper designs FUN & EASY!

To add a bit of custom color to my Parisian scene, I used the next smaller
Spellbinders™ shape from Labels Nine, to mask off a frame. Additionally,
I created mini clouds by cutting shapes from Post Its™ on the sticky part.
Then, using some craft sponge, I dabbed on my blue sky color...

Pretty.......!

My Eiffel tower was stamped directly over the sky background.

Using the teeny, tiniest edge of my craft sponge, I added some low light to the clouds.

And then with the same cloud mask, I used it to re-work
areas of the clouds to give them a realistic, fleecy texture...

Owwweeeee! Anyone know how to say "fun" in French?

No matter! TRUST me, in any language - building a card with plenty of
Want2Scrap™ bling is the only language we really need to understand!

To compliment my the sky and greenery from the central image,
I stamped and colored directly onto my beautiful d/p from Graphic45™...
Just enough to make a comfortable home for my Parisian scene....

So, in case there was any doubt - NOW you know why I love BLING!

And I hope you're inspired to use it... with just about ANYTHING!

Thanks for visiting!
