Amazing August Inspiration!

Hello Dear SCRAPMATTS friends

Kim here with you today.....a little late due to a silly laptop!

August is upon us (yes, already). 

The year is really starting to zoom by!

My first share today is a set of tags

The SCRAPMATTS tag bases are fabulous.

 They allow you to do a variety of techniques to create that perfect everlasting tag. 

I have simply covered my tags with some scrapbooking paper then sanded the sides to add a slightly shabby feel.

Together Canvas

Hi there.  It's Christine here & I'm so thrilled to be part of the Scrapmatts team.  Today I'm sharing a canvas which represents me.  I've always wanted to create something that's black & white, & so I gave it a crack with a portrait canvas.

Here are the yummy Scrapmatts Chipboards & Stencil I've used:
   CB6113 Scrap Words 32
   CB1238 Scrap Words 24
   CB5127 Diamond Mesh 03
   ATC 10-008 Rounded Corner 01
   CB6093 Ornate Frames 21
   CB3007 Tags 03
   ST5006 Circles Stencil

I've cut the Rounded Corner ATC in strips.  All chipboards are a given a good coat of black gesso except for the Scrap Words.  Once dry, the ornate frame is then embossed white.  I've then scraped some parts of it so you can see through the black & extra texture.

As for the tag, it was given a top coat of crackle.  For the background I've used the ever versatile Circles Stencil.  Some layers of mists & glitter on the edges are then added.  I wanted it to look like a galaxy & I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Thanks for popping in & do check out the delicious Scrapmatts goodies here.  I hope you've been enjoying the inspiration from the team.  Thanks for dropping by & have a blessed Easter.

Cheers,

Christmas is the perfect time for sharing handmade gifts with your family and friends. I love being able to whip up some quick tags to go with our presents and the best thing if they can be either really simple or quite arty.

 

 

I started with a very simple Santa Suit tag for my Secret Santa present at work. The buckle and words have a coat of gold embossing powder heat set over them for some bling. Scrapmatts: CB3007 Tags 03; CB1231 Buckles & Belts 01; CB6098 Words 27.

 

I also used the ATC bases to create some arty gift tags with a mix of lace, texture paste, microbeads and mists. Scrapmatts used: ATC10-010 Bracket 01; CB1094 Reindeer 02; CB6083 Bows 01; CB1104 Holly 01.

Scrapmatts projects and tag tutorial

Hi there! I'd like to share a few works I've made with Scrapmatts chipboards, and a small tutorial for altering your chipboard tags

First I made a romantic layout. I was looking forward to using the border chippie (CB2004 Page Borders 03) and I thought it was the perfect picture for it. I gave it a coat of gesso, painted it with white acrylic paint and embossed a script stamp with clear embossing powder. Finally, I painted it again with twinkling h2o, leaving the embossed areas white.

Here I used CB2004 Page Borders 03,CB5112 Hanging Hearts 01 ,CB1107 Clocks 08,CH064 Keys #3, CB4061 Assorted Words 17, CB1220 Ornate Frames 22 

I also altered the gorgeous Mini Tray (CB6094 Mini Tray Stamp 01). It's so tiny and cute! I used some sewing themed chiboards to decorate it, it's going to be a gift form my mother and she likes sewing and knitting. 

I used CB6094 Mini Tray Stamp 01, CB1194 Sewing 02,CB1168 Assorted Words 10 

Finally, I altered two chipboard tags. I had so much fun making my backgrounds!! 

I used CB3008 Tags 04, CB3007 Tags 03, CB4006 Frames 01, CB4063 Leaf Spray 13  

Also, I'd like to share a quick tutorial of how I made the background of the second tag. 

First I painted my tag with gesso, I applied two coats.

Then I covered it with Gelatos in different colors

I blended the colors

I used a mask and covered it with acrylic glaze. You can use gel medium too. 

Covered it again with another color 

Then I wiped the excess of paint

And this is how it turned out! 

I added a few splats of color with a homemade mist, and I was done!!

May the 4th be with you.......
