Birthday Cards - With Scrapping Clearly!

Hi Lovelies!!

Today I have a set of 4 cards to share with you made using the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Bohemian Dreams Collection available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.

I started all of my cards with a white cardstock base (14.3cm x 10.5cm when folded). Then I selected a range of papers from the CVS Bohemian Dreams 6x6 paper pad that I matted to the front of each card. I then die cut "happy" and "birthday" from more papers to use on the cards. Each card was finished with one of the "birthday" die cuts as well as CVS Bohemain Dreams die cuts and enamel dots.

For this card I also added a Heidi Swapp Dreamy layered paper bow. 

 I've kept these cards simple and made use of lots of leftover papers and embellishments!

Resort Style - With Scrapping Clearly!

Hi Lovelies!!

Have you seen all of the fabulous Cocoa Vanilla Studio Collections available in the Scrapping Clearly Store? At the moment I'm in love with the Bohemian Dreams Collection. I love the pretty colours and floral designs! This month I've made a few projects with this collection - the first being this scrapbook page with a photo of us girls enjoying the sun on our recent holiday :)

I started with a sheet of white cardstock and used some Distress Oxide ink pads in Faded Jeans, Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers and used a "painting with plastic" technique to create my background.         

 

  

 

Next I added a strip of CVS Bohemian Dreams Abundant paper cut down to 4"x12" of the blue side and 1"x12" of the floral side - and attached this to the top of the page.

Then I took the CVS Bohemian Dreams 6x6 paper pad and chose papers to mat under my photo and place along the bottom of the page. I love the smaller designs on these papers and love that you have a variety of papers to use!

I added the CVS Bohemain Dreams die cuts in the bottom right corner of my photo as well as a cute Flamingo paper clip from Dear Lizzy Happy Place collection and pink glitter alpha stickers from Heidi Swapp 2016 Memory planner collection.

On the left side of my photo I added more CVS Bohemain Dreams die cuts and pink glitter alpha stickers as well as stickers from the CVS Bohemian Dreams Accessory sticker sheet. I just love the word stickers on this sheet - perfect additions to any Scrapbook or Project Life page! 

On the bottom of my page I added another butterfly die cut , word stickers , pink glitter heart stickers and a piece cut from the CVS Bohemian Dreams Boho Bits 12x12 paper.

More Art Journalling - With Scrapping Clearly!

Today I have some Art Journal pages to share with you, made using lots of fun products available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.

A few weeks ago I shared some pages made with Dylusions paints. Well, today I'm using Dina Wakley paints. l love paints, and I seem to need to have to buy complete ranges of ALL paints haha!! Well, then new DWM paints came out - so I had to order them all. I actually like the smaller sized bottles. I find they are easier to use. Also I have had trouble with a number of lids on the larger tubes - they either dont seal properly or start to break off and then the paint thickens.

Anyways, for this first page I was inspired by the gorgeous and talented Lisa Oxley to use black paint, and to remove colour using a stencil.

I've started by adding some strips of book paper to my page with gel medium, then applying white gesso to pages in my my Small Dylusions journal. Then I added Magenta, Sky, lime, and white Dina Wakley paints. Once this was dry I added black DWM paint across my page, then placed down a triangles stencil and used a baby wipe to remove the paint - cool huh!. 

 

Next I added a few more stencils (corn cob) with different coloured paints (using a sponge), then some stamps. 

I added some marks and splats with watered down black and white paints put in a Fineline bottle. I put 2 parts paint with 1 part water - but best to add the paint first then add water a bit at a time until you get the right consistency. If it is too think it wont come out of the fine nozzle. This is great to use to scribble on your page!!  

 

I drew a few birds on my page with the white Fineliner bottle. I'm not much of an artist but are happy with these quick and rustic birds :) Lastly I added some Tim Holtz small talk stickers.  

 

Of course I needed to do another art journal page - this time using the new DWM paints (to justify buying them lol!

Again I started by adding some strips of book paper to my page with gel medium, then applying white gesso to pages in my my Small Dylusions journal. Then I added the new Sedona, Peacock, Olive, Marine, Eggplant, and Buff Dina Wakley paints. Once this was dry I added black DWM paint across my page. Next it was time to play with adding marks using paint/paintbrush, and my white Fineliner bottle. Lastly I added some Tim Holtz small talk stickers and a stamp from the Dina Wakley "Gal Quotes" stamp set.
