Graphic 45 Easter Tag

Today I am sharing with you an Easter Tag I created using beautiful design paper from Graphic 45 and Want2Scrap Wild Plum Pearls Swirls Finesse. I covered the Manila Tag using Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments - Heart Song Paper and added the vintage image and sentiment from Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments - Heart Song Paper.  I added Art Glitter Ensalada Glitter with Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive to the image. 

Then I adhered a LeCreme Pearl and added the Wild Plum Pearls Swirls Finesse, cutting to fit as needed.

At the top of the tag I used LeCreme Pearls and Sage Green Pearls and added seam binding to the hole.

Very quickly you have a beautiful vintage tag to add to your Easter basket.  Have a great day!

Want2Scrap Dog Chipboard

Today I want to share with you a couple techniques to create beautiful dog chipboard embellishments for your projects.  I created this adorable dog scene using Want2Scrap's Dog Chipboard Embellishment, a Doghouse Chipboard Shape, and a Fence Chipboard Embellishment.

                            

To create the the Doghouse, using a pencil I traced around the different sections of the Doghouse on the design paper and scissor cut out the sections. I adhered the design paper sections to the chipboard with Dries Clear Adhesive.  To get an even more precise edge I then used a nail file along the edges of the Chipboard Doghouse.  I sponged Old Paper Distress Ink along the edges and inside the opening of the Doghouse to create depth and shading.  I then adhered the striped beige design paper to the back of the Chipboard Doghouse to cover the opening.

                                           
I heat embossed the Chipboard Dog and Chipboard Fence.  Before I started I covered each piece with Gesso.  For the Chipboard Fence I covered it with Clear Emboss It Ink and then added Weathered White Embossing Powder.  I tapped off the excess and heat set it.  To create the Chipboard Dog I covered it in Tree Branch Wendy Vecchi Archival Ink and added the coordinating Tree Branch Embossing Powder.  I tapped of the excess and heat set it.  Embossing chipboard creates a beautifully covered surface.

                                                         

This scene I created is now ready to be added to a scrapbook page!

Have a great day!

Spellbinders Summer Road Trip Partner Hop

Today is the first day of the Spellbinders Summer Road Trip Partner Hop and I am thrilled to be representing Want2Scrap.  There are some great prizes up for grabs including a chance to win one of Spellbinders newly released Sapphire™ die cutting and embossing machines.

What better way to enjoy a summer adventure than on a pink bicycle surrounded by butterflies and birds!

I was given the wonderful new Spellbinders Sapphire PHS-507 Birds and Butterflies dies and PHD-017 Mini Fancy Tags One dies to work with.

I started by creating a 6" x 6" card base and then adhering a 6" x 6" card front from the Heartfelt Creations Celebrate the Journey Paper Collection.  I added Crystal Art Glitter with Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive to the flowers in the bicycle basket before adding the small Want2Scrap Amber Rhinestones to the center of each flower.  I added a Gun Metal Pearl to the center of each bicycle tire and added Sage Green Pearls to each of the four corner of the design paper.

Using paper from Graphic 45 Botanical Tea Patterns and Solids 6" x 6" Paper, I die cut and embossed the largest and the smallest butterfly from the PHS-507 Birds and Butterflies set.  While the dies were still in place, using a sponge dauber, I added a little color with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Worn Lipstick. I die cut and embossed the birds sitting in a row twice using green and brown paper from the Celebrate the Journey Paper Collection.  While the die was still in place on the brown paper, using a sponge dauber, I added Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Walnut Stain.  I then adhered the green birds first and then the brown birds slightly lower, to create a shadow effect. 

I die cut the green design paper using the PHD-017 Mini Fancy Tags One die and then die cut a cream piece of design paper with Spellbinders Standard Circles SM and matted it on the Mini Fancy Tags One and added a circle of Brown Rhinestones from the Nestabling Heart Circles - Brown Rhinestones around the center and Brown Rhinestones to each end of the die cut, before adhering it to the card front with pop dots.  I then added the small butterfly to the center of the Mini Tag, adding Sleek Strips 6" Silver Rhinestones down the center of the butterfly and Swirls Finesse - LeCreme Pearls to the bottom of the butterfly, cutting both to fit as needed. 

I then adhered the center of the large butterfly to the card and added Sleek Strips 12" Pearls - Yellow to the center of the butterfly and Swirls Finesse - LeCreme Pearls to the bottom of the butterfly, cutting both to fit as needed. With a sponge brush, I painted the Adventure - Fancy Chipboard Word with Leaf Art Anthology Sorbet Dimensional Paint and then adhered it to the card front with Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive.   Finally, out of seam binding I created a bow.  I also added some cream twine to the Want2Scrap Antique Silver Butterfly Charm, added it to the bow, and adhered it to the card front.

I hope you have enjoyed your adventure today with Want2Scrap and Spellbinders!  For your chance to win and complete details, please visit the Want2Scrap Blog.

Summer Time Card with Want2Scrap and Graphic 45

Hello everyone!  I don't know about you, but I am so ready for Summer time and the fresh fruits and vegetables from the garden that come along with the warmer season here where I live in Indiana.  I created this card using Graphic 45 design paper with Sleek Strips Pearls in LeCreme and  LeCreme Pearls, Cranberry Pearls and Sage Green Pearls thinking about Summer time.

The Sleek Strips Pearls in LeCreme beautifully accent the design paper.

And the LeCreme Pearls, Cranberry Pearls and Sage Green Pearls coordinate perfectly with the Graphic 45 paper.

Have a great day!

Graphic 45 and Want2Scrap Beach Themed Album

I am excited to share with you today a mini album I made featuring Want2Scrap's Shifting Gears by Candy Rosenberg - Mixed Media Album. I added the Shifting Gears Small Chipboard Embellishment and of course lots of Want2Scrap Bling!  For the title I added the Memories - Fancy Chipboard Word.  I painted all the chipboard with DecoArt products.

I used the Graphic 45 By the Sea Collection  to create this beach themed album with my photos from a trip my family took to Florida.

On the first corrugated page I die cut yellow Bazzill cardstock with the Spellbinders Grand Decorative Labels One and the Graphic 45® By the Sea 8 x 8 Paper Collection with Spellbinders Grand Decorative Labels One to create the page base.  I used scrabble tiles from a thrift store purchase to create the title and buttons from my stash.  I added a couple Silver/Clear Rhinestones to the "Gather Seashells" image and finished the page by adding Brackets Fancy - Silver Rhinestones LRG Pair - Self Adhesive to the bottom of the page.  I also used a seashell sticker from Paper House Beach Comber 3D Stickers.

On this page for the background I die cut the design paper with the Spellbinders Grand Circles and Spellbinders Grand Decorative Circles One.  I matted the photo of my daughter on a Spellbinders Lacey Squares. I used some tags and pockets from Graphic 45® By The Sea Tags & Pockets and the title and starfish sticker are from Paper House Beach Comber 3D Stickers.   I added Swirls Finesse - Silver Rhinestones along the side of the photo by the title and also on the pocket/tag.  Also, I added a few buttons from my stash.

On the next couple pages I used 72 Count - Baby Blue Rhinestone and Swirls - White Pearls - Package of 2 - 4" x 4" to embellish the pages.  I embellished a Tim Holtz Pocket Watch and placed inside some Art Glitter Snow Queen Dazzlers along with some of the sharks teeth that we found on our trip to the beach.  This is one of my favorite pictures of my daughter with her Grandpa looking for shells and sharks teeth.

These next two pages are of a fishing trip we took with my in laws in their boat while we were in Florida. On this page I die cut the design paper with Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Rectangles and cut a coordinating rectangle.  Again I used a sticker from the Paper House Beach Comber 3D Stickers and Graphic 45® By The Sea Tags & Pockets. I also used some canvas and twine to add to the nautical look. I finished the page by adding some Red Rhinestones, LeCreme Pearls and  Swirls Finesse - LeCreme Pearls,

On my final page, I distressed the canvas page with Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Ink.  I then die cut the paper using Spellbinders Grand Circles, Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Circles and Heartfelt Creations HCD 733 - Decorative Lattice Swirl Die.  I added Clouds by Nina Bracket - Card Sized and Fences by Nina Bracket - Card Sized, Graphic 45® By the Sea Chipboard elements, Paper House Beach Comber 3D Stickers, 72 Count - LeCreme Pearls - Self Adhesive and Swirls Finesse - LeCreme Pearls.

Have a great day!

GRAPHIC® 45 COUTURE AND WANT2SCRAP GRAND ALBUM

Today on the Want2Scrap Blog I have a mini album I designed using Want2Scrap's  Grand Chipboard Album - Labels One and Graphic 45's Couture Collection.  It is so easy to create mini albums using the Grand Chipboard Album series because the papers are cut perfectly with the coordinateing Grand Spellbinders Dies.

                                                               

On the cover I added some May Arts ribbon and a bow and then inserted Want2Scrap Decorative Pin Jewels - Gold Color  and a peacock feather in the bow.  I used an embellishment from the Graphic 45® Couture Collection - Chipboard 1 to create a title for my album.  I then added Swirls Finesse - LeCreme Pearls, Sage Green Pearls and Royal Blue Bulk Bling Pearls.

For the first page I added Art Glitter Ultrafine Transparent Lichen Glitter using Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive on the peacock feathers on cut apart image.  To the bottom left corner I added Sage Green Pearls and Royal Blue Bulk Bling Pearls.  I created a layered flower using Graphic 45® Couture Collection - Flowers and used a Silver/Clear Rhinestone for the flower center.  I finished the page by adding some more bling with some Allure Swirl - Silver Rhinestones.

On page two I added Art Glitter Ultrafine Transparent Lichen Glitter to the leaves on cut apart image.  To the upper right corner I added Sage Green Pearls and  LeCreme Pearls.  Next I added some more bling with Swirls - Silver Rhinestones and again I created a layered flower using Graphic 45® Couture Collection - Flowers and used a Silver/Clear Rhinestone for the flower center. Finally, with Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive I adhered the Want2Scrap Dress Form Sillhoutte - Card Sized to the page.

On page three I used Classy Corners - Grace and Silver/Clear Rhinestone on the corners to set off the image. I added Art Glitter Ultrafine Transparent Crystal Glitter to the bird and Orange Rhinestones and Turquoise Rhinestones to the bottom left corner for some extra sparkle.  Then using Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3545 - Open Leaf PreCut Set with Tim Holtz Moss Green Distress Ink  I stamped the leaf image and die cut it with Heartfelt Creations HCD 736 - Classic Leaf Die.  I then adhered it to the page and added Want2Scrap 3/8" Purple Mulberry Paper Flowers with Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive.

On page four I added Art Glitter Ultrafine Transparent Crystal Glitter to the lady's hat and Art Glitter Ultrafine Transparent Lichen Glitter using Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive to the leaves on cut apart images.  For the bling on this page I used Allure Swirl - Silver Rhinestones,  Turquoise Rhinestones and Silver/Clear Rhinestone.  I used three roses from the White Rose Ribbon 1.5" and added Turquoise Rhinestones to the center of each rose.

On page five and six again I used Art Glitter Ultrafine Transparent Crystal Glitter to make the pictures of the beautiful ladies sparkle.  The circle embellishments are from Graphic 45® Couture Collection - Chipboard 1.  To compliment this page, I used the following bling:  Swirls Finesse - Black Rhinestones,  Swirls - Silver Rhinestones,  Black Rhinestones,  Orange Rhinestones, Turquoise Rhinestones, and  LeCreme Pearls.

On page seven and eight I cut out different elements of the design paper and used some Graphic 45® Couture Collection - Chipboard 1 adhered it to the page with pop dots.

The back cover I just showcases the beautiful Graphic 45 Couture design paper.

I hope you enjoyed my project today.  I would love for you to visit my blog at Candy's Creations. Have a great day!

VACATION ON THE SEASHORE CARD

Today on the Want2Scrap Blog I am sharing a card that features the "Vacation" Want2Scrap Fancy Chipboard Words.  I love using the beautiful words on cards and scrapbook layouts.  The Vacation - Fancy Chipboard Word went perfectly with my summer themed card that I created out of Graphic 45®'s Place in Time - July Cut Aparts and Graphic 45® Couture 6 x 6 Patterns & Solids design paper.  

I first covered the chipboard word with DecoArt® Acrylic Gesso and then with a sponge brush added DecoArt® Metallic Lustre - Gold Rush.  I then added Cranberry Pearls and Steel Blue Pearls to the upper right corner.

In this picture you can see where I stitched the cream cardstock on with my sewing machine.  To finish my card I added Swirls Finesse - LeCreme Pearls.

Have a great day!
