Holiday Thank You

Hello Everyone, Terre with a holiday thank you card created using Want2Scrap© Chipboard Embellishments Style A, 72 Count White Pearls and Swirls Finesse Le Creme Pearls.

 I distressed the edges of the card to give it that old world look and feel, especially since Santa is an Old World Santa.

On the Want2Scrap© Chipboard Embellishments Style A piece, I used white acrylic paint and my finger to paint it to also give it a distressed look.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and now is the time to start your handmade thank yous. I hope you enjoyed my thank you card. Crafty Smiles,

More Inspiration with Want2Scrap and Quick Quotes!

Hello and welcome!  Susie here today capturing my daughter's senior prom memories with a layout featuring some of my favorite products from Quick Quotes and Want2Scrap!

I started with papers from the Quick Quotes' Chiffon Collection, tearing and inking the layers to add some lovely texture and character.

I included a vellum quote amongst my collage of pictures.  I have been lucky to be on the Quick Quotes Design Team for a couple of years and I pulled this one from my "stash" because it was perfect for the page.  They have created vellum quotes on such a wide array of subjects and events that you will have no problem finding one that works for any of your scrapbooking projects!

Likewise, Want2Scrap has a huge selection of Fancy Chipboard Words!  I love to alter them and use them on all of my projects: cards, layouts, canvases, and mini-albums.  There is even a way to order a custom word if you need something that is not in stock!  For this layout, I used glittery black embossing powder to alter the word "Sparkle", which I had ordered as a special request!

I used Warm Sand and Antique Linen PowderPuff Chalking Inks on the torn paper edges and then added pieces of Black Rhinestone Swirls Finesse

The multi-layered "Prom Memories" die cut was perfect for the title!  It brought a touch of class to the page by adding silver and gold glitter paper to the classic black camera and white letters.

Before you leave, take a peek at the mask my daughter is wearing in the center photo.  I brought a basic cardboard mask home from the local craft store and she added glitter and LeCreme Swirls Finesse Pearls to create a one of a kind design that perfectly coordinated with her gown!  (Yes - this crafty momma was so proud!)

Heat Embossing your Title!

Susie here today with a mixed media layout featuring a title made with one of Want2Scrap's Fancy Chipboard Words and a little embossing powder!  

I created a textured background using modeling paste and the brick stencil from Want2Scrap, using ink to blend it into the background.  I layered on papers and embellishments before topping things off with pictures of my mother-in-law from 2 very different times of her life.

I created the title by applying dark brown ink to the Fancy Chipboard Word and then added clear heat embossing. It is so easy to alter Want2Scrap chipboard using paints, inks and embossing powders.  You can quickly create a custom embellishment to match your layouts and projects!

I tucked a piece of LeCreme Swirls Finesse behind some ephemera and it is done!

Here's a close up of the photo of my mother-in-law as a young girl.  What a cutie!

Be sure to check out the Want2Scrap online store to find the perfect chipboard title for your layout!

Naked Chipboard from Want2Scrap!

Hello everybody - Susie here today and I am using naked chipboard from Want2Scrap on my layout!

Time really does fly!  My baby girl celebrated her 18th birthday yesterday!  She has grown into a generous, intelligent, loving, SWEET young lady and I could not be prouder of her!  This picture is a favorite that I snapped at our annual trip to the local pumpkin patch.  It captures her spirit so well I felt it deserved its own layout!  I used the Nestled Collection from Authentique Papers, Prima flowers, and Want2Scrap Chipboard and Bling!

The photo is a standard 4x6 and I printed it with a white border.  I created a layered  background for the picture using doilies, paper and burlap.   I adhered the word "Sweet" directly onto the photo.  Although it is really easy to alter the Fancy Chipboard Words from Want2Scrap with inks, paints, glitter, and embossing powders I decided to just leave it "naked" for this layout!

You can see that I crumpled, distressed and inked the paper behind the photo.  I created an embellishment cluster using flowers, stickers and Swirls Finesse Le Creme Pearls from Want2Scrap then tucked a tag in the back for hidden journaling.

Just peeking out from behind the flowers you can see the Chipboard Embellishment that I altered using green ink - because not all chipboard should be naked!

The Swirls Finesse Le Creme Pearls come in a 2 pack so I always snip them apart and place them around the layout.  Here you can see more pearl bling peeking out from the bottom of the embellishment cluster.

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

Create Memories

Hello Want2Scrap friends!  Happy New Year!  I'm excited thinking about a brand new year full of celebrations, precious moments, and everyday blessings.  We are creating memories.

I really enjoyed creating this layout featuring my sweet niece, Sophie.  I'm sure we will look back on these photos for years to come and remember how she enjoyed Christmas.

I used one of the beautiful Want2Scrap chipboard words, "Create", in my title.  The script of these chipboard words is so beautiful.  I used Staz-On ink to add color.

Want2Scrap manila tags are a great addition to any project.  I stamped these beautiful blossoms by Heartfelt Creations and colored with Copic markers.

It wouldn't be a Want2Scrap layout with some bling.  These lovely Want2Scrap Sleek Pearl Strips added just the perfect sweetness to this layout.

Have a wonderful New Year and enjoy creating those memories.

Seaside Friends by Joe Morgan

For my artist trading card, I wanted to create this under sea scene after getting some inspiration from a piece of Robin’s Nest paper that reminded me of ocean waves.

I started off with one of Want2Scrap’s Chipboard ATC’s. I love the weight of these and they are nice and thick so they don’t bend when you put glue or paint on them. I covered the ATC with Zip Dry adhesive to adhere my piece of Robin’s Nest paper. I wanted my background to be glossy, but not as glossy as the mermaid, so I covered the Robin’s Nest paper with PPA Gloss which gives a nice glossy, but satin like finish depending on how you apply it. After that, I inked the edges with a Charcoal Cat’s Eye ink pad from Clearsnap.

For the mermaid, I used a Stampendous cling stamp, and colored with Copic markers. Then I cut out the mermaid and covered her with Sakura Crystal Lacquerand set aside to dry. If you’re wondering, the seahorse is part of the mermaid stamp.

For the word Friends, I used Want2Scrap’s Chipboard Sentiments – Words of Love. First, I covered the word with pearl colored acrylic paint, and then used alcohol inks to add color, and then a light coat of clear crackle paint to finish it off. I also used the same colors of alcohol ink to dab a little matching color on the bottom part of my ATC to make my ocean floor.

After all of my pieces were ready, I used some more Crystal Lacquer to adhere the mermaid the the ATC, and then the word friends on top of the mermaid.

To finish my ATC, I used bling from two different packs of Want2Scrap bling. I used Maxxi Girl Swirls in Brown and the Finesse Swirls in the new LeCreme Pearls color. The mermaid stamp showed her with a braid or string tied around her hair with seashells on it. I covered that with the brown rhinestones and some of the LeCreme Pearls. I just cut off what I needed and placed them one at a time. I also put some down in the sand as well as a couple of large swirls to show the movement of the water. I just happen to love mermaids and seahorses, so I had a great time making this.

"Shine" ATC by: Trudy Sjolander

 Hi Everyone!

True :D here, and I'm so excited to be posting my first ever project as a new Want2Scrap designer!

The new Want2Scrap gang has a very special project in the works for a very special cause. You will want to keep checking back here to find out more info about it as we get closer to the event. ;)

Though, I can't share many details about it yet, I CAN share a project I created for it!

This ATC (Artist Trading Card) was created using one of  Want2Scrap's new Chipboard ATCs. 

The pretty Glittered Teal Chipboard and Glittered Writing Cardstock are both from The Robin's Nest who are one of our wonderful cross promotional partners. 

I cut a 2.5"x3.5" piece of the glittered chipboard and adhered it to the Want2Scrap ATC. Then I simply tore a corner from the designer paper, inked the edges, and adhered it. I used some letter stamps to ink and emboss the "Shine" sentiment, then inked around the edges of the entire card.

I used a store-bought flower that had a different center that didn't work for what I wanted,  so guess what?

I pulled the center and added one of the beautiful Self-Adhesive 72 Count Le Creme Pearls from Want2Scrap!  I inked the edges of the flower to "grunge" it up a bit.

And to bling it up a little more, I added a couple of pieces of  Want2Scrap's Le Creme Finesse Swirls Pearls.

Remember to check back often to see what the rest of the amazing designers are creating to inspire you with, and to find out more about our special event ;)  ;)

Thanks so much for dropping by to share my first W2S post!
I would love to know what you think about my ATC or the pretty bling I used on it! :)
