Love Blooms Here in the New Year!!!

Love Blooms Here in the New Year.

Happy New Year and Welcome to 2019.

I hope your new year has started off with lots of creative juices flowing.

Today I wish to share with you 2 layouts I have created with some beautiful Scrapmatts chipboard.

The first layout I have created is Love Blooms Here.

I have used the gorgeous Stargazer papers from Kaisercraft.

To create the layers I have ripped and torn the papers and used the very fine vines from the 

Ornate Frames chipboard.

To colour the chippy I have used the Wink of Stella Black glitter pen.

The chipboard title is one of Scrapmatts new word titles. How cute is it?

Here is the products used on this layout

**********************************************

Now for my second layout.

This layout was based on a sketch from Dusty Attic.

This layout features logs of gears and cogs from Scrapmatts.
To colour them I used a combination of inks and rust paste.
Papers are from Stamperia called Clockwise.
Embellishments are from Kaisercraft factory 42 collection, which complimented these papers perfectly.

Below is the chipboard used on this layout.

I cut these pieces up to give me more gears.

With this piece I have ripped it up to create the border down the sides.

Chipboard Layering -

Good morning Rikki here today to share with you two feminine layouts using a couple of key pieces of chipboard. 

Layering chipboard among your fussy cutting allows you to add interest in your layers. 

Clustering your flowers and your flourishes add some nice soft details......

Jewelry Inspiration

Hi there! Ever wondering how to effectively use chipboard pieces as jewelry?

Well, my post today is to show just how we can do that!

Using chipboard to make jewelry can be rather tricky considering it isnt the most tough of materials.

The key is to:
1) Use as little water as possible
2) Adhere similar pieces together, giving it a sturdy feel
3) Keep experimenting till you get the right look and feel

Here are some pics before I share a little tute:

Materials Used:

Step-By-Step Tute:

1) Adhere pieces of similar chipboard together

(i.e: frame to frame, giraffe to giraffe)

2) Add chain links to the top of the oval frame (as shown in picture

3) Jazz up your ensemble will some bling and other materials.

4) Wear it!
