My Travellers Notebook - With Scrapping Clearly!

Today I have some pages in my Websters Pages Color Crush Travellers Notebook Inserts  to share with you made using lots of fun products available in the  Scrapping Clearly Store.

I started by cutting out some polaroids from the Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Gather collection patterned paper and attaching Heidi Swapp ghost alphabet (acetate) alphas to form a title. These were used on the RHS with some photos from our beach holiday.

For the LHS I added some Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Gather collection paper strips and gold acetate then sprayed some of the Heidi Swapp Color Magic Paper Goods ephemera with Heidi Swapp Color Shine Patina and added to the page with a Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Gather collection deer embellishment. 

For the next layout I added some Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Gather collection paper strips to my pages. I added a Teresa Collins Something Wonderful photo overlay over the photo. I sprayed (painted actually) Heidi Swapp Color Shine - teal over the Heidi Swapp Color Magic Paper Goods ephemera. I added some splatters of the ColorShine as well. Lastly I added some journalling.  

I love these beachy colours - and those Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Chasing Dreams collection puffy stickers!!

Christmas Cards - With Imaginarium Designs!

Today I'm sharing some Christmas cards made using lots of gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard.

Christmas cards for me are always made in bulk. I dont mean that I make exactly the same card multiple times, but I use similar techniques and templates. I also generally keep Christmas cards on the simpler side so I thought I'd play with my Tim Holtz distress oxides to make lots of fun backgrounds. I tried a variety of colours for the backgrounds - partly because i wanted to see what I liked and also to just have fun!! I worked on each card front individually (size 9.5cm x 13.7cm). I stamped the ink pads onto my craft mat, sprayed with water then "stamped/smooshed" my cardstock into it. The smooshing is done multiple times making sure you let it dry properly between layers.  

 

This was the variety of backgrounds I made.

For each background I made a coloured cardstock card base then added the chipboard embellishments. For this first card I embossed one of the layers of chipboard for the bauble as well as the Happy Christmas. The other chipboard layers were painted with watercolour pan paints for contrast. 

Look at the lovely shimmer of the Just Blue Colour Blast embossing powder I used! 

The next card has a similar design but I used a Ranger Turquoise antiquities embossing powder  

I love the variation in texture and colour for this embossing powder. 

For this card I used "Apple of my eye" Colour Blast embossing powder on "Happy Christmas" chipboard and the baubles were painted with watercolour pan paints then added some glitter glue highlights. 

For this card I used "Just Blue" Colour Blast embossing powder on the "Happy Christmas" chipboard.  

For this next card I used a silver embossing powder on the "Merry Christmas" chipboard.  

 

More embossing, painting and glitter as well as bakers twine for the bauble strings! 

These large decorative Christmas trees are perfect for a card front. I initially painted them in a variety of colours with my watercolour pan paints but wasnt happy with the result - plain gold paint was far better, with a few red rhinestones. 

 

Hopefully this has inspired you to get out your Christmasy chipboard stash and make some cards :)

White-on-White - With Scrapping Clearly!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using lots of fun products available in the  Scrapping Clearly Store.

For this project I've kept with a white-on-white theme. I just love these type of pages - but they are a bit hard to photograph.

I started my background by applying a glass beads glitter gel through a stencil in places (under the photo and in the bottom right corner).

 

Once this was dry I added a number of layers of white cardstock under my photo (torn edge, straight edge, punched edge) as well as a photo overlay.

I then added lots of the Heidi Swapp Color Magic paper goods ephemera as embellishments. Usually you would colour these with sprays but I left them all white.

I used some of the acetate alphas for my title and attached using a tiny attacher.

Scrapping Clearly products I've used include
