Inspired by Love - February Projects with Christine

February is the month of hearts which has inspired me to create a couple of projects that's all about love.  First up is my pink mixed media apple:

Scrapmatts chipboards: Ornate Frames (CB4069), Leaf Spray (CB5166), Scrap Words (CB6113)

 

Scrapmatts stencil: Borders (ST1010)

 

 

I've layered the Scrapmatts chipboards amongst the borders stenciled area to one side of the apple, and then layered some pink Tattered Angels paints for gorgeous punches of color.

 

 

It's fun layering Scrapmatts chipboards alongside and on top of each other, and then add some touches of Scrapmatts stencils and you're good to go.

 

On the other hand, sometimes you only need that little or final touch of Scrapmatts chipboard and stencil on some projects.  I'll show you how with my card inspired by the love of horses:

 

Scrapmatts chipboard: Assorted Words (CB6117)

 

Scrapmatts stencil: Circles (ST5006)

 

 

I simply added a wee bit of Circles stenciling on my card for a simple background.

 

 

The gorgeous love chipboard from the Assorted Words set is inked and is the perfect title and addition of chipboard to finish it all off.

 

Whether you like adding a little or a lot of chipboards and stencils, Scrapmatts will have something to suit you.  Check all the Scrapmatts goodies here.

 

I hope you enjoyed my February projects.  Thanks for popping in and I'll see you next month for more Scrapmatts creations.

 

Cheers,

 

 

A Layout & A Little Something by Christine

Hi everyone.  Christine here posting a couple of Scrapmatts projects.  I got excited as soon as I got my hands on the Triangles stencil, so I created with it straight away and this is what I came up with:

Scrapmatts Chipboards: Page Borders (CB2003); Twig Frame (CB6086); Grass (CB5099); Cats (CB1014); Black Scrap Words (CB1197)

Scrapmatts Stencils: Triangles (ST5033); Leaf Sprays (ST5004)

This layout features daddy's little helpers.  Every winter, the girls always piles the firewood in the wheelbarrow, then brings them in the house ready for the fireplace.

  I’ve applied some modeling paste through the Triangles Stencil and added a splash of green mist to match the lush color of the grass.  I’ve also done the same process with the stenciled Leaf Sprays, one of my favorite Scrapmatts stencil.

How adorable is the Cat chipboard? I've inked this cat chipboard, as well as the Grass and Page Borders chipboards.  For the Twig Frame, I simply painted the wooden branch and leaves in brown and green.  It's finished off with a couple of Black Scrap Words for the title.

Next up is a heavenly ATC Card:

Scrapmatts Chipboards: Rounded Corner ATCs (ATC10-008); Flourishes (CB1003); Stars (CB1223); Leaves(CB1115); Burnt Cream Scrapwords (CB1200)

Scrapmatts Stencil: Borders (ST1010)

I’ve used 2 ATCs and punched 2 holes on one side, and tied them with ribbons to double this ATC as a card as well.  For a layer of texture in front of the ATC, I’ve applied some texture paste through the Borders stencil. 

I’ve added some texture and color to the leaves chipboard and then layered them behind the angel’s wings.  This angel is also lying on the Courage Burnt Cream Scrapword chipboard.  For the Flourishes and Stars chipboards, I’ve simply painted them white and layered them on the ATC card.

Inspired By The Seasons

Hi there, it's Christine here posting a couple of Scrapmatts projects inspired by different seasons.  Let's start off with Autumn which has passed months ago in our side of the world.  I miss its beautiful colors and this has inspired me to create a trio of Autumn ATCs.

ATC 1

 

Scrapmatts Chipboards: Rounded Corner ATCs (ATC10-008); Page Borders (CB2005); Leaves (CB1115); Burnt Cream Scrap Words (CB1238)

 

Scrapmatts Stencils: Leaves (ST1034); Borders (ST1010)

 

ATC 2

 

 

The Scrapmatts Leaves Stencil is absolutely perfect for any Autumn projects.  For more leafy touches, I've added some Leaves chipboards which I've inked gold.

 

 

At the edges of ATCs 1 & 3 are the Page Borders chipboards.  The words are from the Burnt Cream Scrap Words Chipboards.

 

Now it's time to transition to winter.  I've always wanted to give A4 layouts a go, & here is my first one finally. 

 

 

Scrapmatts chipboards: Gears (CB1073); Retro Squares (CB5142); Assorted Words (CB6106)

Scrapmatts stencils: Strings (ST1021); Circles (ST5006)

 

 

It's winter here in New Zealand which inspired me to create a wintery steely blue layout.

 

I've given all the chipboards a coat of gesso & colored them each with Tattered Angels mists.  I've used the Strings & Circles Scrapmatts stencils to add some layers of texture to my background.

 

Thanks for popping in & I hope you enjoyed my post today.  Keep an eye out for more inspiration from the Scrapmatts team.
