Bling Congratulations Card

Hi it is Linda back with a little 'change of pace' for me!  I do love whimsical cards and love the way that Want2Scrap bling is so versatile, making a statement on each and every project using it.

I have created a card using Want2Scrap Bling Rhinestones in Turquoise as 'faux (but oh so sparkly) droplets against a sponged background created using Imagine Crafts 'Featuring' Tsukineko Radiant Neon Inks. I will let you in on a little secret - my background came together unexpectedly.  I was 'daubing my daubers' on white card stock and loved the effect it had, so just keep building one layer after another - finishing with some white circles - love the effect!!

The Bird Crazy image has been coloured using Radiant Neons and a Sponge Dauber - I love to colour this way - so quick and amazing details once you get used to it.

The sentiment is from the Spellbinders Phrase Set One and has been adhered using liquid glue.  The Want2Scrap Bling Rhinestones in Turquoise

 have been randomly added to the background to create the 'drip' effect - personally - I think bling works so well on this style -  what do you think?

Purrr-fect Blinged Layout

Hello it is Linda here with a layout to share - of our beautiful half Rag-doll cat - Teisha.  If you are like us, our animals are part of the family - our fur-babies...and I love the fact that Want2Scap have the perfect bling for this.

I have used three photos and cut white borders for them, adhering them to the main patterned paper  with double sided tape.  Coordinating patterned paper has been adhered - slightly to the left and the photos stacked onto it, again using double sided tape.

The Paw Prints Bling - Silver Rhinestones are a real feature, added next to the sentiment created using Spellbinders: SR-011 Contour Type-Oh!  along with some alphas from my stash.

The Chevron Stencil  has been used in the top right-hand corner, along with some Gesso to create the textured chevrons.  A red button has been adhered, a sticker inside and a coat of Dimensional Magic for a glossy effect.  Random Stickers have been added down the left side of the main photo and a flower added to the center of the photos, with a button and Sleek Strip 6" White pearls

 bling added to the center.

Reap Joy Card

Candy here and today I have my Reap Joy Card to share with you that uses the beautiful Swirls Finesse in Brown Rhinestones and Navy Blue Rhinestones.  This A2 sized card was created using a card front panel from Heartfelt Creations Farmers Market Paper Collection.  I die cut the center of the card front using Heartfelt Creations Cut Mat Create 1A Die.  I wrapped a ribbon around the center of the outer edge of the card panel before adhering it to the card base and then adhered the bow.

I cut the Swirls Finesse - Brown Rhinestones in half and added part of it at the top of the card and then also adhered Navy Blue Rhinestones to each end of the swirl.

I adhered the other half of the Swirls Finesse - Brown Rhinestones to the bottom of the card and also added some more Navy Blue Rhinestones.

To the die cut center of the card panel, I added some Crystal Glitter to the onions, Mellow Yellow Glitter to the corn, Green Brier Glitter to the carrot tops and Vintage Photo Distress Glitter to the sunflower centers in the design paper.  I added the "Reap Joy" tag with a pop dot and then placed a Navy Blue Rhinestone on the hole of the tag.  I then added the entire center card panel to the card front with pop dots.

Have a good day!

Beautifully Frame Your Cherished Photos With Nestaboard and Bling!

Hi everyone!

True :D here to share a couple of projects with you.

Now, I could have taken this darling photo of my grandson Joseph, and taped to to the refrigerator to display, but why just tape, when it's so easy to turn it into a beautifully framed piece of art?

I simply took a Want2Scrap - Nestaboard Labels Eighteen piece, covered it with a scrap piece of designer paper from my stash, and inked the edges.

After it dried, I adhered a photo and the "baby Joseph" pieces that I made from kraft cardstock. The beautiful finishing touches of 72 Count LeCreme Pearls and 72 Count Turquoise Rhinestones, add so much sparkle and shine! I added a couple of magnets to the back and placed it on my refrigerator so I can see my darling grand-baby every time I walk past it. ;)

I thought I would share a bonus project today as well.

I created this card for Inky Antics CHA board display.

It was created with one of my brand new stamp sets and designer papers!

The stamp is #11156MC "Swirly Butterflies" clear set, and the paper is my #IA-PAC002 Butterflies on Roses designer paper. 

I loved how this card turned out, but it wouldn't be nearly as pretty without adding the sweet 72 count Pink Pearls.

4 Minutes of Superhero Coolness

This summer, my son had the opportunity to tour a firetruck, complete with his own "Assistant" fireman.  He thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity, and sitting in that drivers seat made him feel 10 feet tall.  This is one of the photos I captured from that afternoon.

I knew when starting this layout that I wanted to use a long, multi-font title, so I painted a Nestaboard from Labels Twenty Five as the background for my title.  I think it allows your eye to easily read my title, because it's confined to one place.  It also really emphasizes the title as a design element, which I love.

Thanks for coming by!

Sweet Love

Hello, friends!  Today, I've had the pleasure of designing with some of my favorite Want2Scrap products by Donna Salazar Designs.  I love the texture of the ATC in Canvas.  I used the canvas as a base for my chipboard accents.  The Designer Embellies Mixed Media Elements includes the Bird, Wings, Crown, Tag, and Leaves. I love how the chipboard accents accepted the rich ink colors I chose.

Next, I chose to cut the Nestaboard Labels 25 in half to use above and below my photos.  I covered it with patterned paper by The Dove's Nest, inked the edges, and added Nestabling Labels 25 Silver Rhinestones.

Lastly, I added "Love" from the Want2Scrap Chipboard Sentiments--Words of Love to complete my title.

Have a wonderfully creative week!

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.

Nestaboard and Nestabling holiday ornaments

Hey there!  I love to make handmade photo ornaments for the Christmas tree every year.  Last weekend we had our annual backyard photo session for our holiday card and I was able to capture a cute one of my girls to use on a photo ornament.  This year, I was feeling paint-y, glitter-y and purple!  In order to accomplish the many layers of paint, glitter and glue I had in mind, I needed to turn to a quality chipboard base....Want2Scrap Nestaboard to the rescue!

To accomplish the shabby look I love, I began with a layer of acrylic paint from Eco Green Crafts.

An easy way to to get a peeled paint look is to lightly press your still wet painted piece onto a non stick craft sheet and then quickly lift it back up.  Presto!  Gorgeous shabby results!

To add a little purple to the mix, I used a watered down purple acrylic paint and dry brushed from the edges of the Nestaboard Labels Nine towards the middle.  I did these paint treatments on both sides of the Nestaboard.

Once my paint layers were dry, I applied Nestabling Labels Nine Purple Rhinestone to the Nestaboard and removed the top three purple bling from the Nestabling frame to accomodate the shanked snowflake button that I planned to insert through my crop-o-dile punched hole.  In addition to the Nestabling frame, I went to town with liquid glue, chunky glitter, fabric dimensional paint and fine glitter on the front of the ornament.

As you can see in the photo above, the button shank is available on the backside of the Nestaboard and can serve as a hanger for the ornament.

Despite literally 5 different layers of wet paint and glue Nestaboard holds its shape nicely without warping!  I love that!  The ultimate opportunity to go "shabby"!

My finished ornament has lots of happy sparkle...starting with the twinkle in my girls' eyes!

Remember how I removed three purple bling from the Nestabling in the step above?  I was able to use one of those available gems to add a custom purple touch to my button snowflake using Beacon Adhesives 3in1 Advanced Craft Glue. 

The frosty white frame was achieved with dimensional fabric glue in white pearl topped with micro glitter...very sparkly snow on a winter's morning.  It looks great against the purple Nestabling!

Another year of handmade photo ornaments in the books!  I love this creative tradition...I hope it inspires you to incorporate photos and Want2Scrap into your holiday art pieces as well.  Thanks ever so much for coming by today....I so appreciate it!!!

Want2Scrap™ November Guest Designer - Holly Simoni

Good morning blogging friends! Today, I am thrilled to share a Beautiful projects with you from our November Guest Designer, Holly Simoni. Throughout the post Holly has several tips that she shared for creating her project.


Holly designed this stunning 12 Days of Christmas wall hanging!! There are SO many details and check out all of that BLING!! Holly said that she used coordinating patterned paper collection that includes several hues, this way she was able to incorporate many different colors of Want2Scrap products and include fun colored bling like red and green along with the black, silver, white, mocha!


Holly used Spellbinders, Labels, Shapeabilities, and Nestabilities die templates to find the perfect size of die cut to fit behind each vintage label holder. She varied the size, shape and color of all 12 die cuts.


To embellish her project Holly used smaller die cuts, metal objects and even more Want2Scrap products and painted a few die cuts with glimmer glam.

Holly used fuzzy chipboard numbers represent all 12 days of Christmas.


The Christmas tree stamp is from the O Christmas Tree stamp set by JustRite and has the entire 12 days of Christmas on it. This 12 Days of Christmas project would make a great gift as well! All of the supplies that Holly used to create this stunning 12 Days of Christmas wall hanging are listed below.

A web any spider diva would love!

Hi Want2Scrap fans! So I was playing around with my supplies from Want2Scrap™ and EcoGreen Crafts and came up with something fun I hope you'll like. Sometimes you have to think outside the label and that is what I did with the "Peony" shape from Spellbinders™. Black paint plus Nestaboard™ and Nestabling™ = some blingy spiderweb for the pending Halloween festivities!

After painting my Nestaboard™ black with acrylic paint from EcoGreen (which by the way has a fabulous flat black finish like chalkboard, just sayin!) and applying all four Nestabling™ Peony bling rings and started filling in the web.

I like using this fabric glitter glue from Duncan carried in my local Michaels and JoAnns stores for fine line details like this project.

Once the glitter is mostly dry add small single bling gems in open areas on the web to up the GLAM!

Silver jewelry thread is perfect for this three-tiered ornament. I was able to use purple gems to accent the thread too. Super simple spooky fun!

Want2Scrap™ Necklace

If you have not heard be sure to check out the blog hop going on here for your chance to win over $300 in fun scrappy products!

Every girl needs an beautiful necklace for that evening out. I used some of my wonderful Want2Scrap™ products to create a fantastic necklace for an evening out.



I started by gathering the supplies I would need to create my necklace. You can see the complete list of supplies at the bottom of the page.



I painted my Want2Scrap™ Chipboard Embellishment Style A with Acrylic Paint Tubes by Eco Green Crafts.



Then inked the painted chipboard with Eco Green Crafts Paris Trunk™ Dye Ink – Walnut and sealed with Beacon Adhesives™ LIQUID LAMINATE.


I then used a crackle medium to give the piece an aged look.

I then added more Eco Green Crafts Paris Trunk™ Dye Ink – Walnut to the crackled chipboard.

YUMMY!

I cut out a circle from Graphic 45 paper and glued a Eco Green Crafts Glass Glintz™ - Clear 12mm over the top forming a bevel.

I using Eco Green Crafts Gloss Medium I painted on a semi thick coat and laid on my Want2Scrap™ 72 Count - Red Rhinestones - Self Adhesive



I added eyelet to each side after cutting off the edge swirls of the Want2Scrap™ Chipboard Embellishment Style A



Then using a recycled necklace, I attached a bead at each end and then attached the beads to the faux leather necklace.



It is vintage and stunning…love the look. You can wear this with a dress for the evening or a pair of shorts and a tee-shirt during the day for a great look.




I just may have to make a few more in different colors….a girl can never have enough bling!
