"REMEMBER" VINTAGE LAYOUT

I created this vintage layout featuring Want2Scrap® LeCreme Pearls, which is a perfect accent to the Heartfelt Creations Burst of Splendor Paper Collection that I used for this 12" x 12" layout. I found this picture of this beautiful little girl at the antique mall and it was the perfect photo for this vintage layout!

I tore the edges and then distressed the edges with a distressing tool and Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Bundled Sage. I then added Copper Viva Decor 3D Stamp Paint to a Want2Scrap® Chipboard Teacup and then with Tim Holtz Seedless Preserves Distress Ink I stamped the design from Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3473 - Tattered Background Set on the teacup. I then added the teacup with pop dots and the Want2Scrap® Spoon with Crown Charm with adhesive to page. Next I added a Want2Scrap® Swirls Finesse - LeCreme Pearls to the corner.

Next using yellow Bazzill cardstock I die cut the Top Swirl from Heartfelt Creations HCD 737 Ornate Gateway Die and placed it at the top of my picture, adhering it with Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive. I then added three large pearls from Want2Scrap® LeCreme Pearls - 72 Count, and some Craftwork Cards Candi in Choc-a-Moca to the page.

Then using Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3545 - Open Leaf PreCut Set, Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3546 - Classic Leaf PreCut Set, Heartfelt Creations HCD 736 - Classic Leaf Die, Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3534 - Striped Sun Kissed Fleur PreCut Set, Heartfelt Creations HCD 734 - Sun Kissed Fleur Die, Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3494 Delicate Asters PreCut Set, Heartfelt Creations HCD 726 - Delicate Asters Die I created flowers and leaves by stamping, die cutting, shaping, and layering as shown. Next with Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive I added Art Glitter - Autumn Glitter to the flower petals. Then I adhered the flowers and leaves to the page. Finally I added Want2Scrap® Pearls and Art Glitter Elements in Tailings and Morocco to flower centers.

I then applied Moss Green Viva Decor 3D Stamp Paint to the Want2Scrap® Fancy Chipboard Word "Remember" and then sprayed it with Crafter's Companion Spray & Sparkle spray in Iridescent. I adhered it to the page with Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive. And finally with Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive and the UltraFine Metal Tip I added Art Institute - Crystal Glitter to the dahlias on bottom of design paper.

I hope you enjoyed this scrapbook layout! Have a great day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WITH CRAFTWORK CARDS CANDI

Today I made a Birthday Card featuring Craftwork Cards Ice Cream Parlour Paper Collection Downloads.

This paper can be downloaded directly from Craftwork Cards website and printed off on your own printer. How convenient is that! With Espresso Truffle Memento Ink on Cryogen White Paper I stamped the graphic Birthday image from Taylored Expressions Big Bold Birthday stamp set and then I colored the word "Day" with Copics. To make it sparkle I added Crafter's Companion Spray and Sparkle spray in iridescent before I matted it on the Spellbinders Scalloped Rectangles.

I wrapped some twine around the top of the card and added a FabScraps wooden button.

I finished the card by adding some Craftwork Cards Toy Box Candi with Candi Fix.

Have a great day!

COOL SNOWMAN CARD

Today I want to share with you a cool Snowman Card with Want2Scrap® Nestabling! This cute snowman stamp and sentiment is from Susan K Weckesser's Unity One of a kind Winter stamp set.

With Memento Ink I stamped the snowman and "Let it Snow" sentiment on Cryogen White paper that had been die cut with Spellbinders Labels Four and then I colored it with Copics. Next I added DecoArt® Paper Effects Black Pearl to the snowman's buttons and Art Glitter Ultrafine Transparent Crystal Glitter to look like sparkly snow.

I then matted the image on green design paper from the Farm House Paper Company Norland Paper Pad die cut with the corresponding Labels Four. I created the 6" x 6" card base from Bazzill cardstock. Next I adhered a 6" square piece of the Norland Paper and then a 5 1/2" piece of corresponding piece of the design paper. Next I wrapped a piece of May Art Ribbon around the top of the card and finished it with a designer brad. I then added Want2Scrap® Swirls - Silver Rhinestones to add even more sparkle to the card!

To finish the card I added this cute Want2Scrap® Fences by Nina Brackett - Card Sized. I colored the fence with DecoArt® Metallic Lustre Iced Espresso and adhered it to the card front with Helmar® Professional Acid Free Glue.

I hope you enjoyed this cool card using Susan K Weckesser's Unity Stamp One of a kind Winter set and Want2Scrap® Swirls. Have a great day!

SUSAN K WECKESSER & WANT2SCRAP® WEEK

Susan K Weckesser & Want2Scrap are joining together this week to bring you some amazing projects featuring their wonderful products! Using Susan K Weckesser's Unity Stamp Autumn Grunge I made this Autumn Card. The Autumn Grunge stamp set includes four different shaped leaves. I stamped the various leaves on a 4 3/4" square piece of cream cardstock using Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Bundled Sage, Forest Moss, Brushed Corduroy and Tea Dye.

I then sprayed the cardstock with Crafters Companion Spray & Sparkle in Gold. I matted it on the card base created from cream Bazzill cardstock, dark brown Bazzill cardstock and then a 5 1/2" piece of square Authentique Seasons "Autumn Three" design paper. Then using Spellbinders Labels 22 I diecut a piece of Bazzill Two Scoops - Moose Track cardstock. I then took the "Give Thanks" sticker from Authentique "Autumn" Components sheet and adhered it to the Labels 22. Next I added Want2Scrap® Nestabling Labels 22 White Pearl and then added the entire Label 22 to the card front with pop dots.
