Clear Scraps: #bestfriends

Hello..today I  have a layout with tutorial on the Clear Scraps blog!  I used the 6 Inch Diamond Heart Mascil as the background of my page and I'm going to show you my technique! 

Securing the Mascil to my cardstock with washi, I  picked three coordinating colors of Distress Ink/Oxide. I  applied using a foam applicator in a circular motion allowing the colors to blend. 

Next, I  created holes in the cardstock to stitch embroidery floss around the outside and "blank spaces" of the heart.  

Here is the final result! I  love how it turned out!  

Next, I  used pieces from Pebbles' Girl Squad line to embellish my page; such a fun collection!  

Thanks for stopping by!  You can check out the large variety of Mascils by clicking HERE! Have a great day!

Clear Scraps February Tag

Today I'm sharing my Clear Scraps tag for this month! I  always adore Valentine theme scrapbook papers and embellishments!  I  began with covering my chipboard tag with this beautiful ombre pink patterned from Pebbles' Forever My Always  collection.  I  set it to the side to add some bling to my Arrow Heart Chipboard Embellishment from Clear Scraps! 

I    knew I  wanted to use a red embossing powder so I  used a cardinal red as my base color. 

Once my paint was dry, I  covered the chipboard with ample amount of embossing ink and added my red glitter embossing powder.  I  then set using my heat gun  

I    layered coordinating stickers and die cuts from the collection before adhering my Arrow Heart with Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive.  Using a pop dot, I    added a cute ampersand sticker to the front right.  

Thank you for stopping by today!  Lots of great new products are in the Clear Scraps shop!  Also, check out the blog for more inspiration from the design team!

Paper Camellia: Adventure

Hello!  Today I'm sharing a layout I created using this month's Paper Camellia Main Kit!  July is full of travel themed goodies and you won't be disappointed!  

This year Crate Paper, Pink Paislee, and My Mind's Eye released awesome travel lines!  And they all go well together!  For my title, I used the Gold Glitter Heidi Swapp "Adventure" sticker and accented it with a cute gold Jen Hadfield Pebbles Puffy Sticker. Also, My Mind's Eye has cute enamel shapes including these dots and arrows!  

Included in the Main Kit is a 12x12 Chipboard Sheet from Crate Paper's Journey collection.  I layered  a chipboard frame and cute road sign on top of my envelope.  

This ledger card is so adorable and perfect for journaling! I added letter stickers from Simple Stories as well as a geotag enamel shape from MME.  

This month again brings you Paper Camellia exclusives such as this acrylic heart/arrow as well as cork hearts and wooden veneer stars.  

I added "rays" of different patterns from the kit on top of my yardstick and then stitched through with my sewing machine.

Paper Camellia: Love

Hello! It's Monday and another week has begun!  I hope its off to a good start! Today, I'm sharing a layout I created with Paper Camellia's April Main Kit! This month's kit is full of Crate Paper, Pebbles, and My Mind's Eye!

I used the "love" from the American Crafts Celebrate Thickers.   There are so many different words as well as numbers.  I layered some of the acetate Maggie Holmes' Confetti ephemera under my photo as well. 

My cut file is designed by fellow design team member, Sherri Funk!  I think it is so cute and I had to use it!  I added different patterned papers in random circles using a hand punch.  I also added some of the gold Confetti enamel shapes, as well. 

I layered one of the My Mind's Eye On Trend stickers under my photo as well as added a gold acetate ephemera piece from Crate Paper.  

Showing some of the chipboard accents from Confetti as well as a cute pennant sticker from My Mind's Eye.

Loving the acetate pennants from Confetti...I added them to the top of my page and stitched through.

Paper Camellia: Currently

Hello...hope your weekend went well.  I spent most...ok, all of it in bed sick.  So, I'm a little run down and crabby today. I didn't get to enjoy the beautiful weather or do any scrapping.  I just feel like I have a lot to do this week so losing two days doesn't help my anxiety. 

 

Anyway, I'm going to share a layout I created using the March Main Paper Camellia Kit.  This month has a lot of I Am from Simple Stories, which is one of my favorite releases this year!  So, I decided to scrap a layout about myself! 

 

Loving the gold foil chipboard feathers!  

 

The main kit comes with a 6x12 I Am chipboard sheet which ha a lot of goodies!  I layered a few here over a gold foil tag from Jen Hadfield's Pebbles collection. 

 

I used the Heidi Swapp glittered numbers for my journaling and adding in some cute Jen Hadfield jewel stickers and chipboard pieces from I AM.

 

 

This chipboard banner is one of my favorite pieces!  I love banners first but also love the gold foil accents.

 

For my title, I used a cut file from the Silhouette shop called Currently Outline (#24966). 

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Check out the Paper Camellia shop for this month's kits (which most are sold out already!)  April's sneak peeks are up on the blog too!

Have a great day!

 





Paper Camellia October Kit: Slide

Hello! Today I'm up on the Paper Camellia blog with another layout from the October kits.  I used both the Main and Add On kits.  I am loving the bicycle print paper! So cute!

 

 

 

Here, I layered some of the pieces from the My Mind's Eye Mint Julep Ephemera pieces.  I love the mixture of the colors with the gold foil!  

For my title, I used the gold foil Thickers from Jen Hadfield's Pebbles line.  If you know me, I love anything gold!  :)   I added more ephemera pieces as well as some cute enamel shapes from the Mint Julep collection. 

 

I made this cute banner at the top of my page with some pennants again from the Mint Julep Ephemera pack.  I then stitched through with my sewing machine and added a gold foil heart.   The Ephemera pack is found in this month's Add-On kit.

Also found in the Add-On kit is this gorgeous cream and gold foil dot paper from Jen Hadfield.  It's even more beautiful in person!!  I layered a piece under my photo as well as added more ephemera pieces!
