Memories

Good morning friends!!
I've been laid up this last week.  The doctor said to rest, no household chores, and the only exercise I can do is walk.  So this is my translation, sleep in, rest in my creative studio, and walk could mean walking up and down the isles of my favorite craft store very slowly.  I would say that's a good recipe for creating Christmas gifts!

This project is full of techniques!  

Rather than using the Grand Chipboard Album - Labels Four as an album, I'm creating wall art with each chipboard page.  I covered the chipboard;front and back, with paper from My Mind's Eye, inked  the edges with Chestnut Roan cat eye ink pad.

   

 The first technique is using alcohol ink to color the acrylic word "Memories."  Remove the film from both sides of "Memories".  Place a cotton pad on the applicator and sprinkle the pad with color.  Repeatedly dab the BACK of Memories.  Alcohol ink dries very quickly.  Continue to dab the color until you get the look you want.  Once the color has been added, draw a line on the collet pad with Gold and dab across the word.  The gold gives the appearance of gold veining.  

 The second technique is curling flower petals.  The key to this is...if you are right handed, place your left either between your legs or sit on your hand.  With your right hand, place the stylus in the top of the petal and press hard in a circular motion toward the point.  By pressing in a circular motion, the paper fibers break apart and allow the paper to curl.  IF you were to hold the flower with your LEFT hand, the paper would remain still and the fibers would not curl.  That's why this is so important.

 Once you have curled each petal, flip the flower over and press the bottom half of the petal.  This makes the petal pop up with the perfect curl.

 Place a dot of glue on the tab and hold until the petals until the glue is dry.

 Place the small stylus under the curled petal and create a deeper curl.

 Layer each flower on top of each other and press a brad thru the center.  Now layer everything together.

Here's to Being Gorgeous with Want2Scrap

Hello Want2Scrap friends, it is Linda here sharing a fun card created using Want2Scrap products. I thought we deserved some humor - I love these Emerson Quillin ladies - I have a few of these stamps and every so often have to have my 'fix!'  Seems the older I get - the more I can relate and of course these gals go hand in hand with all things bling!! 

The image has been stamped using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black and coloured using Chameleon Pens.  It has then been cut/embossed using Spellbinders Standard Circle LG and popped up onto the flocked card front using Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L 3D Foam Squares. 

Paper Lace has been added along the lower portion of the circle and coloured using Chameleon Pens and a row of scalloped lace adhered  to the lower portion of the card base, using Double Sided Premium Tape by Want2Scrap - 1/4" x 150 yards with 72 Count - Black Rhinestones - Self Adhesive added along the lace.

Nestabling Heart Circles Black Rhinestones has been adhered around the Die Cut circle.  A double black seam binding bow is glued onto the left side of the lace, a pink, flower button, and black rhinestone glued to the centre of the bow.

Hello friends, Lovita Redd here! 

Today I am sharing with you how I captured a fond memory of my daughter's participation in the 2014 Southern Crescent Pearls Debutante Cotillion. 

I used the Want2Scrap 12x12 Dress Up page layout as my theme.

My daughter is dressed in a white ball gown and I am dressed in peach color gown. The left side of the picture of my daughter and I is accented with Want2Scrap's Sleek Strips 12" Pearls in White. I also used Want2Scrap's Swirls Finesse - Silver Rhinestones. 

I used a small swatch of satin fabric in white and another in Peach. Not from our dresses, I may add, my daughter would have a fit...LOL. I lined the openings with Want2Scrap's Sleek Strips 12" Rhinestones - Iridescent.

The shoe was made from the Want2Scrap Victorian Boot Small - Chipboard Embellishment. It's painted white, lined with 1/4" white gimp braid, accented with white pearls and rhinestones with a peach color rose beneath.

I created a 3D dress from embroidered fabric and secured it using hot glue. The dress is accented using 1/4" white gimp braid, Peach color flowers and Want2Scrap Swirls - Silver Rhinestones.

Items used for this project are:

Want2Scrap 12 x 12 Dress Up page layout

Good evening Blogging Friends!

I don't know about you but Christmas is my favorite time of year!  I love designing everything Christmas in my studio, decorating my home, the smell of pumpkin bread floating in the air, and listening to Christmas carols.  I must admit, I'm like a child this time of year, all giddy with excitement!  (And yes I snoop just like a child...but don't tell my husband)

Here's a set of cards using paper from Authentique and all my favorite bling from Want 2 Scrap!  Enjoy!!

Want 2 Scrap Bling-

Pearls 72-Red 2164
Baby Bling-Silver Rhinestones 100 Count Silver

Candy here and today I am sharing how to create a Christmas tree Peace Christmas Ornament featuring Want2Scrap's 4" Large Round Ornament Chipboard Shape.  The design paper is from Heartfelt Creations Sparkling Poinsettia Paper Collection and the poinsettia, leaves and holly leaves were also created using Heartfelt Creations' stamps with coordinating dies.

I painted the 4" Large Round Ornament Chipboard Shape with Gesso. Next I inked the top of the ornament with Gold Brilliance Ink,  added Gold Embossing Powder, tapped off the excess and heat set it.  I traced the ornament shape on my design paper and cut it out.  I adhered it to the chipboard shape with Dries Clear Adhesive and then inked the edges with Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Ink.  I adhere the Beautiful Bling Borders by Nina Brackett - Chevron to the center of the ornament, cutting to fit as needed.  Next I adhered the poinsettia, leaves and holly berry leaves as shown.

Want2Scrap Mixed Media Journey Card

Hello Want2Scrap friends, it is Linda here, thank you for stopping by. Today I have a Mixed Media card to share with you, created using an eclectic mix of products including Chipboard, Washi Tape and Border Bling.  You can see how it all comes together below.

I have started with a pre-cut card base and some negative Die cuts from the Seth Apter Trifecta Etched Dies as my card front.  A Small Strip of both the Toffee and the Blue Washi Tapes have been added to the top corners and the card front is layered onto white card stock but slightly larger and adhered to the card front using double sided tape.

The Owl is one of my handmade embellishments using Paper Clay and coloured using Chameleon Pens.  It has been adhered to the centre of the negative dies using Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry.

BEAUTIFUL BLING BORDERS BY NINA BRACKETT - CHEVRON  have been added  below the owl and one strip along the lower edge of  the card front.  The Border comes in individual strips and are easy to use separately or create rows of them.  Three co-ordinating feathers from the Die D-Lites Two Feathers Etched Dies have been cut/embossed and lightly sanded.  These have then been tied with fine twine at the top and adhered using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.  Small beads from my stash have been added to the ends of the twine.

The Journey - Fancy Chipboard has been coloured using  Chameleon Pens, I have coloured it three time to give the depth of colour and then added a coat of Imagine irRESISTibles Pico Embellisher in Electric Yellow.  Once this has dried it has been adhered to the top of the card using Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry.

Random splatters of the Pico Embellisher in Electric Yellow have been added to the card front, along with light splashes of white paint.

Good afternoon!  I hope you are all enjoying the beautiful fall colors!  It's such an inspiration to watch the leaves fall and listen to the wind whisper new promises.  I finally ordered pictures from our adventures in Germany and I'm so excited to share our journey with you.  Here's some pics of the start of our journey and the beginning of our next adventure album.  This was a major accomplishment for me since I've never traveled outside of the United States and as a chaperone for some high school German students.  It was an amazing experience and I can't wait to go again.
