So Sweet for Craft on the Run

Hi again,

I'm back with my second layout using the Fairy Land collection from Scrap Boys. 

I used the wreath page as my base and already had all the fussy cutting done so this page came together very quickly.

I used a scalpel knife to cut around the fairy on the right so that I could nestle my photo behind.

Next I simply layered the elements using the wreath as a guide. Some I popped up with foam tape for added interest and dimension.

Believe For Craft on the Run

Hi all,

Today I'm excited to be creating with the adorable Fairy Land collection from Scrap Boys. So so cute!

For my first layout with this collection I took inspiration from the September sketch challenge for the Craft on the Run facebook group: 

https://www.facebook.com/groups/192952778620564/?ref=share

But first...Fussy cutting. Lots of fussy cutting. 

I chose a black and white photo and trimmed it to 4x4 inches and layered with the soft pastels from the collection.

I then layered the elements around the photo popping some up with foam tape for some dimension.  

I cut the title "believe" twice on my cameo and layered the white behind and off centre for a shadow effect.

I just love the way the fairy looks like she's giving a kiss. It fit perfectly with the photo.

I hope I have inspired you in some one today.

Sweet Dreams for Paper Passion Posh

Hi all,

Today I am sharing a layout I created for Paper Passion Posh using the Dream Catchers cut file. 

I cut it twice in two sizes on plain white textured cardstock and then coloured with Lindy's Magical shakers in Magnolia Magenta Gold, Time Travel Teal and Bavarian Blue.

I made the larger dream catcher into a shaker.

For the background I used white textured cardstock and coloured diagonally across the page with the Lindy's magical Magnolia Magenta Gold.

I continued the diagonal theme across the page as I adhered the pieces down.

I used left over pieces from the Happiness collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio to embellish and finished with some black splatters around the page.

I hope I have inspired you in some way today.

Forever for Craft on the Run

 Hi again,

I'm back again sharing the step by step instructions for how I created this layout featuring the Cerulean Spring collection from 3Quarter Designs.

From my stash I am using white textured cardstock for my base, you could also use watercolour cardstock and Brusho's watercolour crystals in Emerald Green and Prussian Blue and Colbalt Blue along with white acrylic paint, black Staz on ink and Prima Chalk Paste in Buckram Binding and Distress Oxide in Vintage Photo. I also used the Tim Holtz Measured stencil, Kaisercraft 6x6 Stencil words stencil and Uniquely Creative Text stamp.

Step 1. The background.
Spray the cardstock with water.
Sprinkle with Brusho's watercolour crystals.
Spray with water. Watch the magic happen.
Let dry.
Apply white Gesso or white acrylic paint through the stencil words stencil with a make up sponge randomly over the page.
Add stamping with black Staz on ink and a text stamp. 
Again using the make up sponge apply the chalk paste through the Measured stencil.

Step 2. The corrugated card.

Apply a layer of Gesso or white acrylic paint and let dry. I did two layers.

Sprinkle the watercolor crystal randomly over the gesso. 

Activate with a spray of water.

Let dry. I added a second coat.

Step 3. Layers

Adhere the corrugated card onto the background running down the left hand side of the page.

Choose your patterned paper and tear approximately 4inches wide. Distress the edges with the blade of a pair of scissors or distressing tool. Ink the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide. Adhere on top of the corrugated card so that the corrugated card is still visible from behind the pattern paper.

Step 3. Make your embellishments.

Fussy cut the elements from the pattern papers.

To build the flowers and leaves I cut them on a big shot die cutting machine with a layered flower dies and a leaf die.

I inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide and used a ball stylus to curl the petals. I then layered the flowers together and adhered with wet glue and finished the centre off with a drop of white Nuvo drops.

Step 4. Mat the photo

Offset the layers and distress the edges then ink with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide.

Adhere with foam tape for added dimension.

Step 5. Layer the Embellishments.

I heavily embellished the layout with the fussy cut elements and hand made flowers. I used adhesive foam on some and layered others in behind to create a dimension effect.

I used the smaller leaves from the chipboard pieces that I embossed with white embossing powder and heat set.

Step 6. Finish with black splatters.

I flicked some black ink splatters around the page. 

I thoroughly enjoyed working with this collection. It was a great opportunity to get out some mixed media and get a little messy.

I hope I have inspired you in some way.

Love you for Craft on the Run

Hi all,

This month I have had the pleasure of working with the Cerulean Spring collection from 3Quarter Designs.

From my stash I added a piece of 12x12 corrugated card from Dusty Attic and a 12x12 piece of water colour cardstock.

I also used Brusho's water colour crystals in Prussian Blue, Emerald Green and Light Brown, Inka Gold Cobalt Blue, Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, Distress Ink Blueprint Sketch and Black Staz on ink.

The first thing I did was fussy cut out all the elements. I was unsure at this point what I was going to use but it never hurts to have it all ready anyhow.

Love this life for Paper Passion Posh

Hi all,

I'm back today sharing my latest layout using the Clustered Heart Background from Paper Passion Posh.

First I cut the cutfile on white textured cardstock. I enlarged it to fill up the background. I then offset a second cut on patterned paper. I am using the Gums and Roses collection from Uniquely Creative.

I layered the two cutfiles together and backed with adhesive foam for dimension off the page.

Next I layered up the embellishment clusters which I had fussy cut from the collection. I choose a black and white photo to pop against the soft colours.

I used the "Love this life" laser cut for my title. And finished with some Nuvo drops around the page.

I love the look of the hearts with the beautiful soft tonnes from this collection. 

I hope I have inspired you in some way today.

Tropical Pink Heatwave kit for Twitchit Craft Kits

Oh my gosh!!! Let me tell you, pink is my favourite colour and the Tropical Pink Heatwave kit from Twitchit Craft Kits has plenty of pink. I couldn't wait to get started.

Get your kit here:

https://www.facebook.com/TwitchitCraftKits/

My vision for my first page was to use the tags and frames. I knew I wanted to use multiple photos across the middle of the page and have the tags coming out from behind. The colours match my daughter's swim suit perfectly. I set about layering the frames under the middle pink strip, using that gorgeous yellow polka dots as my background. I cut the frames in half so I could have them at the top and bottom. I didn't quite have enough to stretch the 12 inches of the page so I cut some extras with some old frame dies and my big shot. You could trace and cut by hand also.

I added a half inch stripe to the bottom of the page and a cluster of embellishments from both the sticker sheet and the chipboard accents. I then added two more embellishment clusters to complete a visual triangle and incorporated the "Hello sunshine" tag as my title.

My next layout came together fairly quickly. A simple design using some fussy cut florals from the floral page,  layered with the embellishments around the page to again complete a visual triangle. I distressed the edges and used white textured cardstock as my base, this added white space and really makes the colours pop. I used a combination of the stickers and and chipboard accents to complete the clusters.

For my next layout I just HAD to use one of the flamingos from the die cuts pack. I used white textured cardstock as my base with a half inch stripe at the top and bottom of the page. I angled the photo base to create interest and distressed the edges. I layered 3 cluster embellishments down the right hand side and balanced with the flamingo. Finishing off with some pink splatters.

Finally My fourth layout using the collection focuses on a larger photo one of my all time favourites. I matted the photo with the floral paper and offset to the right of the page. Again I used the yellow polka dots paper across the middle and a half inch stripe across the top and bottom of the page. I cut out the flowers on my big shot using an old layering flower die set and cut the title using an alpha die set. I layered some more stickers and chipboard accents and called it finished.

This kit is definitely one of favourites. For more kits and inspiration please go to:
