All things Scrapmatts by Danielle Vertigan

Hi its Danni here today,

To say things have been hectic is an understatement.

I've lost track of days and months but on the bright side I've enjoyed an

amazing trip exploring this vast country of ours and due to an

injury I just may have snuck is some scrapping as we went.

 

I've got a bit of a gallery for you today sharing all things Scrapmatts from some of my favourite

layouts.

A flourish can be added to just about anything and boy what a feature do they make

when they are embossed.

Here they are accompanied by the Word Tiles!

These are just one of the most effective little gems.

CB1003 Flourish 04

CB1206 Scrap Words 09

 

 

The CB5102 Window 02 was absolutely perfect to showcase this little man.

I removed the ledge and embossed the frame to welcome Beau.

CB6084 Alphabet Flags 01 I left raw and used them as my title.

 

Who doesn't love string Circles!!

So I've slipped in this piece for a peak.

CB5114 String Circles 01

 

 

I had a lot of fun with this one.

Its amazing what we can do with left over pieces.

Particularly when using sets we can often put pieces aside and forget about them.

There to long. not quite right.....

In this layout I have trimmed some down and separated others to wrap around my layout.

This is a great way to utilise your pieces and maximise there effect.

Here I've used

CB4069 Ornate Frames 26

CB4060 Ornate Frames 17

CB4034 Floral Design 01

 



 

I have a new favourite stencil!

ST5005

Its featured recently in 2 of my layouts and I just wanted to share how

fabulous it is.

I think the best part is how this stencil creates all the embellishment these layouts needed.

 

I hope you can take away some inspiration from this and us it on your next project.

 

 



Layout and Box

Hi there!

Have you ever liked a chipboard embellishment so much that you don't use it because you want to save it for the perfect project? Well, that's what happened to me with the gorgeous watch from Scrapmatts. Since I saw it I started thinking which project would be perfect for it, and after several months I decided a box would be the solution. So I started searching for one and finally, I was able to use my loved watch chippie :) Hope you like it!!

Chipboards used: CB5111 Layered Fob Watch 02, CB6097 Assorted Words 19 

I also made a layout with other of my favorite chipboards: the window frame. I love windows, but it's so hard to find a photo that fits them! 

Chipboards used: CB4063 Leaf Spray 13, CB5102 Window 02 

Delightful

I am so excited as this is my very first post on Scrapmatts new blog! Not only do we have a new blog but as you may have already seen we have some new chipboard to play and some cute little charms!

I have created this card by using one of the fabulous new ornate frames (CB6093 Ornate Frames 21) and used the delicate little padlock charm (CH020 Lock #3). 

I have used a bronze distress stain to colour the chipboard ornate frame

  (CB6093 Ornate Frames 21) and the roses (CB1202 Roses 02) to add to the 

romantic vintage feel.

"Forever" tag

I have used lots of chipboard goodies for this tag. 

Firstly, I have embossed the chipboard tag (CB3007 Tags 03) using an embossing folder and cuttlebug, then covered the tag with distress paint and misted with glimmer mists. 

I have painted the flags (CB5101 Flags 02) in distress white, stamped in black ink, used distress ink on edges and then layered together . 

I love the versatility of the little gears (CB1078 Gears 05), I have also painted them with distress paint and placed behind other layers to add interest. I finished the tag off with a little butterfly (CB1028 Butterflies 18)  and words.

"Happiness Captured"

My last project that I would like to share with you this month is a layout of one of my nieces.  

I have used the stunning Window Set in white mist (CB5102 Window 02), roses (CB2023 Roses 01) and title from the chipboard words (CB4061 Assorted Words 17) which I have heat embossed with gold.

I hope that you get a chance to get creative yourself.

 We would love to see what you create with Scrapmatts goodies, all you have to do is to go to our  gallery and load your creations!

Thanks for stopping by.
