Making Memories - Deb Stephens - Sketch Inspiration

Hi everyone. Here is a scrapbook layout using the September sketch as inspiration. these photos were taken in Malaysia where I got to spend some time with my cousins having a coffee and a catchup, hence the travel theme.

I used a mixture of 49 & Market paper, rub- on's, Stitch frames, film strips and laser cuts along with some Dusty Attic Chippy to complete the layout.

DA3342 Making Memories was used for the main title, along with the Mini Blue Passports DA2965 (Seriously!! How cute is it!) 

I also used numbers from DA2389 Number Jumble for the year. this was followed up with the #Family piece from DA3299 Daily #3 set. 

I love the freedom of being able to create a layout using my stash and the Sketch as my guide. I'm hoping it inspires you to create as well.

Sugary Sweet card set - Ankarika Craft

  Hi there!

It's been a long time since I had an order for a children's card. The one I'm presenting today was ordered for a boy. I have been making twin cards for a long time. They always differ in something, often it is a mirror image of the composition. This time, you can also see a few minor differences. The second is made in reserve if ordered last minute. I like to have such projects up on my shelve, sooner or later there will be someone willing to buy it.

I have made a few cards with this cute teddy bear in the lead role so far. I like this die a lot, I bought it a long time ago and it has been serving me loyal for several years. The card is layered, in the colors of sky blue and white. The background is embossed with a 3D embossing folder from Sizzix, in addition I have highlighted the embossing with Finnabair wax. The edges of the individual layers were sewn on the machine and gently torn.

The teddy bear is die-cut three times, which makes it stiff and solid. He is holding a heart made of resin cast (Finnabair) in its paw. A month ago, I equipped myself with accessories for making castings, I bought the first few molds from Prima and, full of excitement, showed my struggles with the first casts on my IG on a regular basis. I encountered a few problems, but today I can easily say that I have mastered the topic and a whole drawer of beautiful casts waiting for my 5 minutes. The plane's screw is also such a cast.

The teddy bear is placed on the techno circles from the set from Dusty Attic and on this occasion I need to mention that this post is in cooperation with this fantastic cardboard producer. All chipboards in this design is secured with white gesso. The aforementioned circles, heart strings on the left side and the outline of clouds were additionally coloured with embossing powder. I additionally diversified the clouds with craft snow, which made them fluffy - you can see this process on my IG profile as a Reels - in few days.

A rainbow shimmers in the background of the teddy bear, and chipboard banner of stars is attached to the plane, shimmering beautifully with all possible colors thanks to the embossing powder. I also colored the words "Hello", "Birthday Wishes", "Sugary sweet" and "love your Smile". I put a seagull next to the clouds. I like delicate children's designs when they are finished. In the course of work, unfortunately I'm constantly tempted to grab some vintage paste... This is a real inner struggle, take my word for it!...

#angel - Michelle Van Oudtshoorn

Well hello July!

And boy is it really cold here in New Zealand. We were having these balmy winter days and then all of a sudden we had a drop in temperature and winter arrived with a vengeance.

Of course when it's so cold outside, you don't need an excuse to stay indoors and scrapbook! 

I took some inspiration off a card I saw on Facebook with die cut numbers in cardstock, and it gave an idea to create this layout  - knowing that I had some Dusty Attic chipboard numbers - DA2389 called "Number Jumble" - and that would work well. I also used some stars from DA2441 and postmarks from DA3150, loosened them from the sheet, and added these all onto double sided tape on my mixed media mat. Using a sponge dauber, I sponged the numbers, the stars and the postmarks with shades of yellow, orange, pink and green paint. Once dried I added clear Wink of Stellar to all the chipboard pieces (accept the title)

I used a Uniquely Creative range of papers - fussy cut the flowers, leaves and squirrel. I used two different papers, tearing the striped paper in half, inking the edges and adhering to the base page, and inking all around. I inked all the fussy cut pieces before adhering around my matted photo.

I layered the fussy cut elements adding the numbers and stars as I layered, and then also added the postmarks 

I then added the title "#angel" from the DA1597 Hashtag sayings - painted with an orange tone and adding stickles to the title. I then covered the photo, splattered white paint over the layout and added coloured pearls to finish.

These are the products I have used
