Want2Scrap: July 2012

Christmas in July!

Hi, AJ here with a head start to your Christmas card making today!

Since there was so much brand new holiday product at the CHA show, I felt a Christmas card in July was totally acceptable! And what better product to add that sparkle and bling to your project than Want2Scrap!

The holidays are all about sparkle and bling when it comes to decorations, cards, and gifts- so for my card, I used the Labels Twenty-Five Nestabling in silver to outline my card stock cut using the Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Five die to cover my Labels Twenty-Five Nestaboard.

The fabulous thing about the nestaboard, is you can cover is with paper, paint, or any other medium of your choosing, and then you have a fabulous little ornament to hang on your tree when you are done using it on the card. ;)

I finished off the card with a few Baby Bling in Turquoise, some of my favorite Want2Scrap bling! I add them to everything! :)

enjoy!

The Key to my Heart

Have you been enjoying the new product releases from Want2Scrap?! Well, that's a silly question huh? I was sure to snap up the Card Size Antique Keys w/hardware - Chipboard and put it to use right away on this card. I love that Want2Scrap has great designs in dimensions for card makers and scrapbookers alike! They think of everything!

This fun card evolved after a desk top cleaning session. The background collage of papers originated as this.....

Oh my! that pile of trimmings to the right of my cutter is always under development! So I cleared away the recycleables and salvaged the pretty pieces and got busy making this card.

Another technique I want to share is alcohol inking multiple colors at one time on bling. Here I am using a piece from Sleek Strips Silver Rhinestones- Self Adhesive. The multi colored gem effect is made by tapping random dots of coordinating alcohol inks onto a felt inking pad and lightly tapping it over the bling. I love the cool look to this custom colored bling.

Once the ink was dry, I was able to adhere the strips, all three at once by attaching to one side of the card and carefully peeling back the liner plastic for perfectly aligned strips.

Thanks for coming by and checking out my card today!

Live, Laugh, Love

Hello, friends! Keely here to share my latest layout featuring fabulous Want2Scrap products. I couldn't resist designing with this adorable photo of my niece and her best friend. I love the texture W2S products give my layouts--chipboard, bling, denim!

The chipboard diecut titles are one of my favorite new products. I also used one of the 7x7" denim squares and self-adhesive pearls to create my flower.
