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

CB4066 Ornate Frames

CT005

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

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.

CB1072

CB1073

CB1078

CB1075

I cut these pieces up to give me more gears. 

CB5132

CB5130

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

Hello...hello dearest friends of Scrapmatts!

Today I have two projects to share with you.

The gift tag is made with lots of

 'LOVE'

Warm Welcome to June at Scrapmatts!

A very warm welcome to the middle of the calendar year, dearest 

Scrapmatts followers!!

The months are ticking over rather quickly, as we hit the mid-point of the year.

I've been creating a lot of Shaker Cards of late, and when I was thinking about what to create this month for my Design Team work, here at Scrapmatts I thought I would make a spin off of the Shaker Card and go with Oversized Shaker Tags!

Making the humble tag just a little more exciting!!!

Let me show you......

 Scrapmatts have a great range of chipboard pieces that can/could be used to create great elements to place into Shaker cards or Shaker Tags!

 To create a little interest on the leaves I simply placed the chipboard in an an embossing folder & ran them through the cuttlebug.

 

 For this Shaker Tag I have used some of the pieces that pop out of the Circle Mesh Chipboard packs.

I also used some seed beads & one of the super cute butterflies from the Leaf Spray pack to place behind the shaker window. I also stuck my Scrapmatts word (Cherish) behind the window.

This is a great way to make the most of your crafty purchases.

The possibilities are endless.

If your heading to the Scrapbooking & Papercraft Expo in Brisbane this year, I will be at the

New Innovation Trends Area, demonstrating how to create Shaker Cards.

Please stop by and say 'Hello'

Merry Month of May!

Hello, hello dear Scrapmatts Followers!

Kim here to start off the month......

May is the month that we give thanks to that special woman in our life, the one who gave us life, guided us in our formative years and is often the best friend we will ever know.....

OUR MUMS!

Here is a card I have made 

 I have teamed up the Brick stencil with some sweet Cocoa Vanilla Studio papers & the uber cute

elements from the Flannel Flowers chipboard pack and I have also used the negative from Assorted Words 21, for my card.

(Making best use of your purchases).

The next project I would like to share is a layout I created for the 

Kraft+ Challenge Blog (last month).

The challenge was to use paint swatches on your layout!

I hadn't participated in a challenge for quite some time, and I really enjoyed it!

I scrapped my little Grandson 'Angus'

I loved this photo of him in all his thriving squishiness!!!

It just had to be scrapped!

[LOVE]

 Again I have used a combination of chipboard & stencils

Look at those arms!!!

Using paint swatches is an awesome idea, so next time your at your local hardware, check then out!
