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..

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..

April Creating with Lizzy!

Hello there,
I hope you are having a great day! I am popping up my Scrapmatts creating for this month..  I hope I can inspire you in your Scrapmatts crafting!!

I would like to share a layout firstly that I created using some fabulously funky chipboard pieces..

I fell in love with the Layered Heart set when I first saw it.. and I thought "How cool would it look with the Theme Pack?" (Don't worry I will put up the details of these chipboard packs and a link to the shop for you..)

I wanted to have paper on the back ground of the hearts so I traced around the edges of the chipboard and cut out the hearts..

Oh I colored the Heart chipboard with ink pads using a pink and a brown patting the ink pad on the chipboard until I was happy with the color..

This is what the layers look like before I put them on my layout..

and here is a closer view of the larger heart on my layout..

I have used a lovely Chipboard word from the Scrap Words 06 for my title..

I also colored the Theme Chipboard the same way for a soft pinky/browny color!

And my layout..

I think these two packs of Chipboard go together so well.. Just love the trendy feel they add to my page!!

And here are the details of the Chipboard for you to find in the SCRAPMATTS STORE!!

And I would like to share a card I have created using some lovely Scrapmatts Chipboard pieces..

This closer view shows the Window Frame which I colored with a brown ink pad and the Sea Grass which adds a different feel to my flower cluster.. The Sea Grass I colored with a green gel pen.. (I love how easy Scrapmatts are to add color, You can use lots of different elements to color the Chipboard. Gesso, paint, ink pads, water colors, and gel pens!)

and my card..

 

The flowers are a stamp that I fussy cut out and layered.. The Scrap Words are so handy to pop on a card too..
