Sassy Scrappers - Time to remember

Hi There!
It's Tuesday so that means it's my turn on the Sassy Scrappers Blog! I am working with Pink Paislee Hope Chest this month & I'm really enjoying the neutral, vintage theme of this collection.I decided to pull the green from the papers & mixed in some orange/peach colours for something a bit different.
I've used some gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chippies with a mix of blooms

The Time to Remember & Peacock feather chippie are from Imaginarium Designs. To alter these I first coated with gesso. Then I sprayed Heidi Swapp Color Shine Mist in Chartreuse all over feather & Heidi Swapp Color Shine Mist in Georgia Peach on the title. While wet I sprinkled some American Crafts Zing Embossing Powder in Blush & set with a heat gun.

These smaller peacock feathers were altered the same as the larger one. The little cherub was fussy cut from the Butterly Garden collection paper.

I have mixed some Kaisercraft blooms with some Prima flowers, Prima Resin & Prima say it in crystal flourish.

My Creative Scrapbook June Reveal Limited Edition Kit

Hi There!

Life has been so busy lately! We are painting the inside of our house which has come with some wonderful challenges, namely Evie. She has fallen head first into the paint tray, stood in the paint tray twice & leant against a wall with wet paint ARGH!! Nightmare stuff that makes painting even less fun but we are soldiering on LOL!

I have also re-joined the gym & have embarked on a 12 week Body Challenge so that means extra gym session per week for me. My goal is to lose at least 5 kilos. Wish me luck!!

My Creative Scrapbook have released the kits for June! As always Pam has filled these kits with the best products! Today I am sharing the Limited Edition kit with you.

This kit is full of Crate Paper DIY collection with some Pink Paislee & Prima goodies. This is a really lush kit with a mix of reds, yellow & aqua & Pam has mixed in some gorgeous metal/copper elements into the kit. They are not colours I would chose myself but when I played with them I loved the combination. That is why  I love working with kits so much. You get to play with collections & combinations that take you out of your comfort zone & try something new!

I will be back with the Main kit Reveal very soon!

Sassy Scrappers- Best Friends

Hi There!
My turn on the Sassy Scrapper blog with another Pink Paislee Hope Chest page. Before heading off to Kayla's birthday party I managed to capture a few gorgeous pics of the kids. Evie wasn't in a very co operative mood but I did get some good ones of Kayla & Hunter together!
I have kept the colour palette fairly restrained playing around with the more neutral tones in the collection. There isn't alot to fussy cut in this collection but I did find some flowers & leaves to cut out!

The Hope Chest collection has some amazing background papers with lots of scripts & ledgers. All of the leaves & flowers were fussy cut. I have added some Shimmerz Texturez in Crushed Coral for a pop of colour

 The Ephemera tags come in all shapes & sizes which I have used with a Hope Chest Label Sticker

 The Prima Akran Natural flower matches the Hope Chest collection perfectly

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L- Happy Birthday Card Tutorial

Hi There!
I have a tutorial on making a layered shabby chic Birthday Card on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog
I have chosen some girly papers & products with the idea of making a pretty card for a young girl. I am using Prima Fairy Belle collection with a collection of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L!
Start by cutting a piece 6″X12″ from white cardstock & fold in half so that you have a 6X6″ square card base.
Cut Fairy Belle in Firefely 5.5X5.5″ & distress & ink the edges. Run the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable around the edges of the firefly piece & stick to white card base.

Use a Medium size White doily. Apply E-Z Runner Permanent Fine Adhesive to half of the doily. As the doily is quite a thin paper the E-Z Runner Permanent Fine Adhesive is a much finer, lighter texture tape so it won’t show through the paper of the doily.

Stick the doily to the top/centre of the card with half the doily folding over the back of the card

Cut a Fairy Belle Notecard in half. Use the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable & apply to the bottom half only

Stick the notecard top/centre of doily with about 1/4 overlapping the top edge.
Cut La Spa sheet 2X5″ Pendant. Place Crafty Foam Tape along edges. I prefer to use the Crafty Foam Tape for larger pieces

Use a small white doily & apply E-Z Runner Permanent Fine Adhesive in centre. Again I’m using the E-Z Runner Permanent Fine Adhesive on the doily as the paper is more delicate & the tape in the E-Z Runner Permanent Fine Adhesive is quite fine & will not show through

Stick the doily over the top of the pendant join

Take the Fairy Belle Chipboard piece Ballerina Fairy. I don’t like the white around the edges & prefer more detail so I am going to fussy cut it. Use a craft knife to split it in half

Once the chipboard piece has been fussy cut the image is very delicate with very thin areas. It is quite hard to stick down so I find this the most effective way. Use Adhesive Sheet 6″X4″/10CMX15CM. Take 1 sheet & cut in half. Remove yellow release liner. Stick the chipboard piece down (good side facing up). Fussy cut around the chipboard image. The Adhesive sheet now fully covers the chipboard piece even in the tiny intricate places!

Repeat this process with a second Fairy Ballerina Chipboard piece. Stick either side of pendant
Die Cut a Spiral Circle from Fairy Belle Firefly using the grey side
Use 3D Foam Squares-White Variety Pack. I love this pack as it has a mix of large & smaller size foam squares. Use the larger size & apply to the back of the die cut

Cut 5X1 1/4″ piece from Fairy Belle Summer Dream. Distress & Ink edges. Use 3D Foam Squares-White Variety Pack again using the larger size in the pack. Apply to back of pendant

Stick on top of die cut spiral circle
Use some scrap white cardstock. Stamp a banner in Brown ink. I have used Just Rite Clear Buntings & Banners. Fussy cut the banner. Apply foam tape to the back using 3D Foam Squares-White Variety Pack using the small size this time. The smaller squares are a perfect fit to place under each banner

Stick this under pendant just above the Fairy Ballerinas hands
Stamp a sentiment on some scrap white cardstock in Brown ink. I have used Just Rite Clear Buntings & Banners (Happy Birthday). Fussy cut a small pendant around the stamped sentiment approx. 2.5X0.5″. Ink the edges. Apply 3D Foam Squares- White Variety Pack using the smaller size

Stick this on top of the larger pendant
Finish decorating card. I have used Jenni Bowlin bows in cream on either side of pendant. They are self adhesive but to make sure they stay down I have used Dodz Small on each bow. Use Liquid Pearls on pendants & banner
Tie a bow with seam binding. Apply Dodz 3D in centre of Bow & stick down at top of card

& now you have a shabby chic card with lots of layers & dimension! Here are some closeups

Sassy Scrappers- Just for you

Hi There!
Iv'e been having fun getting my shabby chic on with the gorgeous Pink Paislee Hope Chest Collection!
The colour palette is really muted in this collection which gives you the opportunity to match your own colours.

I decided to make a generic card to add to my card stash! I always like to have a couple on hand for last minute occasions. This card isn't really technique based but I like to design cards with lot's of pretties layered up! I have started with a Kraft base & used some papers from The Hope Chest collection. The Image is from another Pink Paislee collection Butterfly Garden

The Just for you chippie is from Imaginarium Designs. It's size is perfect for cards! I have coated with gesso then applied a thick layer of Shimmerz Textures in Crushed Coral

The flowers are an older style Prima- Conventry Tranquill but I just love this pack as there is a gorgeous mix of colours a sizes along with some gorgeous velvet leaves. The mini bloom  & pearl floursh are from Kaisercraft.

This month Sassy Scrappers is doing something a bit different. Instead of a sketch challenge we have a 'Quote" Inspiration challenge. Base your project on the following quote

Here is my take on it

I have used some mists on the background to add some colour before layering my page.
