Love The Way You Smile Tag + More by Kim

Hello...hello!!!

Kim here with you today with my first share for this year...

I'm excited to be creating for 

Scrapmatts for another year!

Today I have a two gift tags to share with you, celebrating 

LOVE

With Valentine's Day only a week away as I type this post up!

Let me share with you my first tag.

I simple love this one!!!

 I love the contrast in colours!

 To create this gift tag I made my own base out of thick cardboard and then glued red cardstock over the base. I then used the small heart stencil from Scrapmatts and texture paste to make the heart background.

Once this was dry I inked around the outer edge using a blending tool. Next I cut out numerous hearts from cardstock and also canvas paper and inked the edges of the red hearts. I then stuck my Scrapmatts Chipboard pieces in place and arranged & stuck down the hearts and other elements.

My next tag is the opposite of my first, super soft and pretty!

 For this tag I also created my own base, then covered it with some pretty paper & inked around the edges.

Then I stuck this gorgeous Scrapmatts Steampunk heart in place and the Scrapmatts sentiment. 

I decided it looked a little plain so then I added some beautiful Scrapmatts lace.

(Did you know Scrapmatts stock lace in their online store?)

 Then I stuck down a few other elements

 The final project I wish to share today is a layout all about LOVE

For this layout I used one of the newer Scrapmatts stencils, and let me say how much I like this one!!

Lots of possibilities with this stencil....my daughter has even used it to decorate some of her books/dividers for her study this year and it looks amazing!

 I did my usual thing with lots of fussy cut flowers and lots of layers, including some Scrapmatts Lace Flowers Motifs

Moments - With Rikki G

Good morning how are you? Well now I have recovered from the WA Craft and Wood show where I was lucky again for the 3rd year to do the demos for Scrapmatts -  a huge thank you for those who popped in and said hi...... hopefully you where inspired and have been creating up a storm.....

  So you might have seen these layouts on the wall at the show but if not I hope they inspire you to look at your collection of amazing Scrapmatts Stencils and chipboard.

Dont forget yours stencils are a great way to create a custom background all you need is a pen and your ready to go.  **** If your going to add mixed media over the top of it make sure your pen is waterproof so it doesnt run !!!

How amazing is this CB5185 Layered Heart 11 to recreate this effect all I did was use my Go Foil machine and add different colours of foil and then in the middle layer added a little bit of embossing enamel to add some more interest.
