Creating Embellishments with Scrap...matts.

Welcome

Today I wish to share with you my project for this month.

Introducing my Scrap.....matts Embellishments.

Do you ever have leftover scraps of paper & chipboard words? 

Do you struggle with what to do with them?

Or do you trash them or stash them?

I have to admit I tend to trash the paper & stash the chipboard words for other projects.

Recently I stumbled on a picture I found on Instagram using these adorable pins, so I thought I would give it a go.

I am so pleased with how they turned out, super easy to make & just a little cute.

Mixed Media Linen Bags & a birthday calendar in a box by Dunja

Hiya Scrapmatts Friends, Dunja is here and I'll show you three creations this month.

I created two linen bags in two different ways. The first one (blue-green-teal) is made with color burst colorpowders by Ken Oliver Crafts. I love the colors, they are amazing. I've used the stencil ST5016 Stencil Starburst for the background and added some embossingpowder to get the stars sparkling :)

This one is the second one. I've used the same stencil ST5016 Stencil Starburst and the faber castell Gelatos in three different colors.

Now onto my third inspiration for today. I'll show you a birthday calendar in the box.
This birthday calendar in the box ala SEME I wanted to try it and it was absolutely worth, right? It has a good size and room enough to write many birthdays on each monthly tickets.

The cute image is from Vildastamps V620. I colored the motif with Gansai Tambe colors and Distress Ink's. The design papers are from Maja Design from their latest summer collection 'Summer Crush' - one of my favorites, which indeed are all the papers from Maja Design are SUGAR :)

The flowers are made by me and i've used the same design paper as for the box. As always Leftovers are ideally suited. On the front you can see a texture under the motive that I have applied with the Scrapmatts Stencil ST5016 Stencil Starburst and structure paste. The chipboards can also be found by Scrapmatts in the Set CB1197 Scrapwords 05
 

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you'll find some inspirations with the gorgeous Scrapmatts Products :)

Enjoy your day and take care.

Love, Dunja xx

Experimenting with Scrapmatts chippies!!

Create Tag

On this one I have created a mixed media background on a tag and then layered the following Scrapmatts chipboards: CB1169 Wicker Chair 01, CB1204 Ribbon Banners 01 which I stamped the word create on, CB1199 Scrapwords 07 (inspire), CB1189 Scrapwords 01 (wish) and CB1190 Scrapwords 02 (smile).

Next up here is a layout I created using a pic of my hubby and I at Yamba a few years ago on a child free holiday! 

Kiss 

on this one I have simply used: CB1197 Scrapwords 05 (Love is kind) and one of the gorgeous charms: CH013 Filigree Wrap #2 which I rubbed with inca gold to change the colour up a bit :)

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!

Welcome Autumn...

I love this time of the year when the weather starts to cool down (well supposedly anyway!) and the colours in nature turn to the beautiful rich and warm hues. I used these colours as my inspiration for this month's post - not that I need much pushing towards the vintage tones!
A little while ago I bought some gorgeous clipboards from Typo and at long last I had the opportunity to turn them into something pretty:

 The one of the left shows how the clipboard started before it landed on the scrap desk!

Using Scrapmatts chipboard Ornate Frames CB1220, Butterflies CB1158 and Charms Filigree Flowers #2 CH004

The clip on the board was made to look old by using a rusting powder on the metal.

Next I worked on my tags that the DT are working on for each month of 2014. Last month I created the box and January's tag, so this month I wanted to catch up and completed February's tag (about love of course!) and March's tag:

 Using Scrapmatts chipboard Tag CB3010, Ornate Frames CB6091, Cupids CB1166, Hearts CB1159, Scrapwords CB1190. Along with charms Arrow CH030 and Crown CH057. To make the word 'is' in the title, I cut up one of the 'Discover' Scrapwords.

My tag for March was one to remind me of my beautiful girls - lots of beautiful pink flowers!

Using Scrapmatts chipboard Tag CB3009, Ornate Frame CB6093 and Scrapwords CB1199

Don't forget if you are playing along with us and creating your own tags each month, we would love to see them in the Scrapmatts Gallery!
