A Want2Scrap Christmas Layout

Susie here on this fine Christmas morning! I hope you are all enjoying special time with your families! I just wanted to pop in and share a quick Christmas layout I created featuring some wonderful Want2Scrap products: Fancy Chipboard Words and Bling!

The papers are from the Tidings Collection by Authentique Paper. It is a really different kind of Christmas collection. The papers have a kraft paper base that mixes well with the traditional reds and greens of the season. What I really appreciate is that Authentique uses the same base colors every year. What that means is that I can take this year's release and mix it with collections from years past!

I used one of the cute cut apart cards as a caption for the photo and then embellishedalong the bottom edge with a string of hearts ribbon. I used self-adhesive red rhinestone bling from Want2Scrap to embellish my embellishment! Next I covered one of the Fancy Chipboard Words with red glitter.

Here's a close up of a simple embellishment cluster above the photo. It makes me giggle because it looks like the horns are coming out of his head! (I guess he is a little naughty!)

Merry Christmas and I hope you find some time to play today!

November Layout with Want2Scrap Chipboard

Hello everybody! Susie here today and I want to share a fall layout featuring Want2Scrap chipboard for the title. I needed to scrap these great pics of my mom, sister and I enjoying the autumn leaves. I used the Nestled Collection from Authentique Papers. I love all the texture found in the patterned paper - wood grains and knits and plaids - and Want2Scrap has the perfect Chipboard and Bling accents!

November is a Fancy Chipboard Word from Want2Scrap. It is really easy to alter the chipboard with inks, paint, glitter and embossing powder, which is what I chose for this project. I heat embossed it with Earthtone Nutmeg Embossing Powder.

You can see I used multiple layers to create dimension - papers, tags, twine, stickers, bling and even a charm!

Want2Scrap 72 Count Bling comes in a pack with 3 different sizes - 3mm, 6mm and 8mm. I used all 3 sizes of the Amber bling to jazz up this sentiment/quote card:

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to play today! Susie

Embellishing a Store Bought Frame

We love our preferred partners. When I saw these papers from Authentique, I was so immediately inspired to start crafting.

I started with a plastic frame from Ikea. First off, I could not believe this was plastic, it's so NICE!

I die cut several flowers using Spellbinder's Spiral Blossom.

Most of the other pieces are ready made.

The Bird on a Branch is a silhouette.

I used one of Donna Salazar's Puzzle Pack pieces and covered it with yellow patterned paper,

distressed it by sanding, and glazed it with glossy accents.

Then, it was time to drip the bling.

I took Sleek Strips and made a few cuts so I could round the corners of the inner opening.

I carefully trimmed around the butterflies from the Wonderful Wings Nestabling set, and left the clear backing intact, and just glued using a glue dot. Finally, I added some strips of Nina Brackett's gorgeous Chevron Bling Border to the tabbed card.

This project really didn't take very long, but I'm so pleased with the results.

What do you think?

Bling in the New Year

I really can't make a post about the New Year without

first wishing my daughter a very happy

S E V E N T E E N

Yes, it's my daughter's birthday.

17 years ago today, she made her way into the world.

Wasn't it yesterday?

Something fun I do with my daughter is

go on Dollar Store shopping sprees once in a while.

You can buy a bunch of fun things,

and still have money left for BLING!

The last time we were there we got some fun

horns, glasses, and bubbles for New Year's.

We enjoy have fun, corny celebrations!

The horns were really cheesy though, so I decided

to decorate. At 3 for $1, I decided to tear one up

to make a pattern. I traced it onto patterned paper -

Splendid Papers, and Curiosity Papers

both from our friends at Authentique.

I made a little extra piece for the top area.

I glued all this together and added stickers

from SRM Stickers, and of course ...

B L I N G

I cut apart some Beautiful Bling Borders for around

the horn and the upper part that divides the pink and the grey.

I used a large Sleek Strip at the top,

and a small Sleek Strip at the bottom, near the horn.

Thanks for looking.

Happy Birthday to my sweetheart, and

a very Happy New Year to all of you.

Be safe, be well, be happy, and be creative as you

BLING IN THE NEW YEAR!!!

Saving Love Notes

I made a fun cover for a envelope filled with LOVE quotes.

Some of these I find online, some I cut out, some I hear or read.

I am always finding loving words of wisdom, and I wanted a pretty way to store them.

I store this on my bulletin board, right in front of me at my craft table,

just like it's shown below!

I started by attaching a piece of patterned paper [Graphic 45]

to some recycled chipboard cut from a cereal box and distressed it with

a sanding tool [Bazzill] and some brown ink [Close to My Heart]

and added some crepe ribbon [Creative Impressions]

and a button [Buttons Galore].

I attached the button with some floral wire through two holes in the grunge paper.

I die cut the heart using Spellbinders dies, and the cut shape

perfectly matches the Scalloped Heart Nestaboard,

which I embellished with Pink Heart Nestabling.

I added some flowers [gift from my friend, Trudy Sjolander]

using Beacon's 3-in-1 adhesive [Buttons Galore],

some leaves [Prima] and some of Nina Brackett's Classy Corners - Elegance.

I LOVE Bling, and too much is never enough.

I colored the beautiful Chipboard Dress Form with a Copic Marker

and painted it with some Liquid Glass [Close to My Heart],

then quickly dusted it with some glitter [Donna Salazar].

I want to say a special thanks to Donna for providing this

in one of our Design Team packages. It's neat stuff,

and comes in a salt shaker - brilliant!

Underneath, I adhered some patterned paper [Authentique].

The LOVE is also colored with a Copic Marker, and embellished with Baby Bling - Brown.

Thank you for making us a part of your day.

Dream big

The pretty Want2Scrap wonderful wings butterfly is a great match for the delicate pinks and greens in the Authentique paper set called Lively. For this butterfly focal point, I die cut the butterfly from a scrap of designer paper, applied the bling butterfly and then popped the wings simply by bending the wings. The negative of the die cut image was applied to the card and the blinged out butterfly replaced in the middle. Fun!
