Hi Papercrafters 😃 Today I have a lovely scrapbook layout using 'Le Petit Jardin' .... such a pretty and flexible collection. I have used lots of layering and stressed edges. Here is how I started my page. I love this 'Morning Flourish'  decorative die and seem to be popping it everywhere on my cards and layouts at the moment.  I love scattering a few sequins on my layouts, they add a hard 'anchored' elament, and also fill a space easily. This particular colour is amazing and seems to go with everything and makes a nice change from gold ... I love it! (Mixed Sequins). There is lots of dimension on this page, including the flowers which I fussy cut from papers in the 12x12 Paper Pad (CO725434). By cutting out several flowers you can use foam tape to build them up. I stressed the edges, spritzed with water and shaped the leaves. I also love adding some cheesecloth for textural softness. Isn't fo...

Hi Papercrafters I am scrapping today with the traditional 'Highland Christmas' collection from Couture Creations.  Have you got yours yet?  Isn't it so traditionally festive? I started with 'sheet 3' from the Highland Christmas 12" Paper  Pad and added a red tartan matt cut to 4 1/2" wide x 7" tall, distressed edges and attached with foam tape. Next I added the doilies, cut in half and attached flat. I then added some strips to the left and bottom right before sanding and attaching my photo with foam tape. I love the chipboard designs from Couture Creations, and used a few on my page!  I foiled them all in my very favourite colour foil ..... Rose Gold!  CO726489 Christmas Corner Set - Chipboard CO726500 Mini Holly Branches CO726296 Hanging Baubels - Chipboard Foiled and sparkling in Rose Gold! Next, I created a floral bouquet and slipped in a die cut deer ... so cute! I then focused...

Hi Papercrafters. Today I am sharing a Christmas Sampler 🎄 I love that I get to create nine different mini layouts .... lots of dies, papers and photos! Once again, I am using Ultimate crafts 'It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas" collection .... you know how much I love it!! 💗 I am going to pop this layout into one of  the many 12" x 12" frames available from Couture Creations and display it on the wall this Christmas! I bet it gets noticed and admired by my family and friends! Here I have used the Build a Tree Layering Die to create a dimensional Christmas Tree. I love this matt gold mirror card and have also tied it into my layout by using it as one of the backing cards. I layered the 'Holly Branch Die' and shaped them into a wreath. 2mm pearls add an extra festive touch. The papers in this collection are so rich and Christmassy; I have added a few flowers to create dimension. Layers ...

Hi Friends I am continuing my festive journey with 'It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas' and getting through some of those Christmas photos. I love the big poinsettias that you will find on a number of the pages in the 12" paper pad, and knew when I saw them that I would cut some out.  Here is what I have created. I think it is very Christmassy and that red is so rich and devine! Here is what I did! First up I cut out three of the big poinsettias. On white cardstock I drew a red pen border 1/4" all around the page, I was noy too ,precious' about creating a straight line, a wiggle here and there looks great and is easier! I cut the music strip off one of the pages from the paper pad and attached it approx 5" up from bottom of white base page. I attached the poinsettias, using foam tape on the one that surrounds the photo. I attached the vellum poinsettias onto the layout by slipping them behind the main ...

Hi Papercrafters  I’m excited to share with you a layout I created featuring the new ‘Bohemian Bouquet' Collection from Ultimate Crafts.   It is such a pretty collection designed by one of Australia's own, the wonderful Denise Boddy, isn't she clever, I love the designs and the colours. I love that you get two sheets of paper of each design in the Paper Pad. This allows me to fussy cut and add dimension with the beautiful flowers in the bottom right corner. To crumple the corner, spray on some water and scrunch. This way the paper becomes very hard when it dries. I painted the chipboard with white gesso and added a touch of blue. Once I finished the layout I masked the photo and sprinkled on some fine glitters, it is hard to see but just added another glistening element to the layout that looked amazing! These are the products I used: Bohemian Bouquet Collection ULT 158030 - Paper Pad ULT58052 - 3mm Adhesive Pearls ...

Hi Papercrafters Today I have another layout using the beautiful ' It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas' collection from Ultimate crafts. My son Jack loves to fool around and is so photogenic. I loves this pic, he was pretending the bobble on his hat was his mike and was singing Jingle Bells.  How I love Christmas! The layout is very straightforward and easy to copy. I embossed some vanilla cardstock with beautiful Christmas words ( ULT158301 - Winter Wonderland Embossing Folder), and die cut some snowflakes ( ULT 158320 - Snowflake Decorative Die) to add texture.  I also cut the poinsettias and layered them up. It's a great layout that you can do in advance for this Christmas, who says we can't scrap first and take pictures later!!! For my little sentiment I simply printed it out on the computer and rolled to edges to form a scroll. Product List ULT158298 'It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...
