July Creating with Lizzy.

Hello there! How is your day going? Great I hope!! and I hope the cooler weather means more inside crafting time!!!

I have a layout and two cards I would like to share with you today!

The layout is a page I created using a photo of my Grand daughter when she was only a few days old.. I could probably scrap this photo a million times I love it so much!! I will share some closer views and then my layout..

 

I usually look at the back ground paper and see if I can add anything to it, and for this layout I decided to add a few sweet butterflies and flowers with a stencil using a pink ink pad and dauber.

This sweet baby carriage was also just patted with a pink ink pad for a soft color that did not cover any of the chipboard details.. 

 

The bow was colored the same way as the carriage.. and the flourishes were painted white..

 

I used a little strip of lace under my photo to add some softness and a feminine touch!

Moments..

I framed my photo with the delicate and beautiful Ornate Frame and I used two ink pads of differing pinks to add a slightly darker pink around the outside of the frame..I like how it turned out!!

and here is a list of the Scrapmatts I have used on my layout..

CB6092 Ornate Frame 20  

  

CB5136 Baby Girl 02  

  

CB1001 Flourishes 02  

  

CB6083 Bows 01  

  

I was feeling a bit creative and thought I would try and make a step card using the Step Card Template.  I also used the Montage Creations which make things so easy..It was a matter of cutting out the template and folding along the lines and lining the card base and then embellishing it..

This is the base cut out and folded as per instructions on the template.. and then it was time to cover the card and add embellishments..

 

This is the Montage Creation I used and it also is as easy as cutting out the picture and side and bottom strips and gluing onto the card base..

And here is my card.. 

And a closer look at the Scrapmatts Chipboard I used for embellishment..

Then I thought I would create a feminine card using the same method..

And this is my second card..

 

and a closer look at the beautiful rose chipboard..

I colored the rose chipboard with a gel pen..

and here is a list of the Scrapmatts I have used for my cards..

May Creating with Lizzy.

Hello there,
How are you today? I trust you are keeping well and I am so happy you have come by the Scrapmatts blog today.

I have a layout and a card to share with you.

I had a really special photo of my Daughter and her Fiance and my Granddaughter that I wanted to frame on my page.. So I looked in my Scrapmatts and found the gorgeous  Hanging Hearts Chipboard that I thought would be perfect!! Let me share some closer views to highlight the lovely Scrapmatts products I have used..

I popped a few stencilled Hearts on my back ground

I covered the chipboard hearts with paper that had been embossed to add some texture..

And my photo that is framed by this gorgeous Scrapmatts Heart Frame.. It is simply painted white with white gesso with some pretty pink rhinestones glued randomly around the frame.. I used string to attach the other hearts and make little bows on the frame..

To make the photo fit inside the frame I used the heart as a template to draw on my photo and then I cut my photo out..

It is then a matter of layering the photo between the frame and the heart backing chipboard..

And the Scrapmatts title completes my layout..

and my layout..

And here are the Scrapmatts I have used..

And I created a simple card that I would like to share with you.

I like cards that are reasonably flat so they can be posted.. I have colored the Rose chipboard with black to make them a feature.. They are so intricate and pretty.. a few mauve rhinestones to add a little pop of sparkle and match the flowers..

and the Scrapmatts I have used..
