Scrapmatts May creating with Helen - a layout and a card

Hello and welcome back to Scrapmatts.

It's Helen with you today.

First I'm sharing a bath time layout; 

the bubbles stencil and chipboard seemed just right for this page. 

This little Bubba loved his bath. No matter what mood he was in before he hit the water, he instantly became angelic in the suds.

I used my favourite embossing powder on the wings and the string circle frame.
It's Aged Ivory from Stampendous.   The Bubble chipboard was just swiped with Gesso and I used Liquitex texture paste through the stencils.

Scrapmatts products used:
ST1004 Stencil Bubbles 
 ST1003 Stencil Sticks 
 CB1120 Wings 01
CB5131 Bubbles 01
CB4071 String Circles 07
CB6095 Assorted Words 18
CB1198 Scrapwords 06

Next up is a vintage style card

This is a tent style card, so that I could attach a ribbon at the top.
I decorated the inside as well. The paper is from Pion.
I inked the spray of Roses and added shine with Glossy Accents.
The ornate frame was wet embossed with Aged Ivory from Stampendous.

At The Beach and Some Birthday Cards by Lauren

I live on the Gold Coast, which is known for being a coastal tourist attraction centre, so you would think that when Scrapmatts released a new Marine Life chipboard set I would be all over it, right? Wrong, I rarely head to the beach, largely due to my pale skin which goes from white to red in about 10 minutes flat regardless of the amount of sunscreen I slather on. The chipboard did look adorable though so I eventually remembered I had these photos from a morning stroll I did with friends sometime last year and set to work.

 

 

All the chipboard comes from CB4067 Marine Life 02. I have used seven pieces on this layout and there are still fifteen left in the sheet! The pink/orange pieces have been coloured with Gelatos, the blue pieces with Glimmermist and the seaweed has been left natural in the white mist finish the sheet came in.

 

My second set of projects for the Scrapmatts DT this month are a couple of birthday cards. Chipboard is the perfect embellishment for cardmaking. It is relatively flat, light weight and can easily be coloured to match any colour scheme. I whipped up two quick birthday cards for family members in the past month and they were both very impressed with the results.

 

 

Chipboard for both my frame and sentiment in this earthy card. I used CB1198 Scrapwords 06 and CB6091 Ornate Frames 19. After creating my own patterned paper in this second card all I needed was some glitter alphas and some chipboard chevrons (CB5106 Chevrons 01).

 

 

If you've created a card, or any other project, using Scrapmatts chipboard please come share it with us in the gallery.

When layouts go wrong....

Hello Scrapmatts fans, Renee here with a series of tags that started off life as a layout.

 I had started to create a mixed media background for a layout but it seriously went wrong so instead of binning it (as sections of it were kinda rockin') I thought I could turn it into a series of tags. I have used quite a few packets of Scrapmatts chippies and charms but I have modified some (like snipping the frame and using it on 3 different tags and the flat charms, snapping them and using the off cuts on another tag.) 

Here I have used: CB5111 Layered Fob Watch 02, CB1198 Scrapwords 06, CB6084 Alphabet Flags 01, CB6096 Ornate Frame 24, CH043 Assorted Charms #4

 Here I have used: CB3004 Tags 02, CB2026 Picket Fences 09, CB1206 Scrap Words 09, CH043 Assorted Charms #4. 

 Here I have used: CB3008 Tags 04, CB6060 Christmas Trees 01 , CB1219 Scrap Words 20, CH043 Assorted Charms #4.

 Here I have used: CB3008 Tags 04, CB6096 Ornate Frame 24, CB1206 Scrap Words 09, CH017 Filigree Corners #2

  Here I have used: CB3008 Tags 04, CB1195 Silhouettes 03, CB5031 Mini Frames 01, CB5096 Layered Frames 02, CB1189 Scrapwords 01

Here I have used: ATC10-025 Sewing Spool 01, CB6096 Ornate Frame 24, CB1190 Scrapwords 02, CH043 Assorted Charms #4.

I hope you enjoy having a look at my spontaneous tag set as much as I enjoyed making it!
