Not Just For the Boyz !!!

Not Just For The Boyz

Good Morning

Welcome to my November Blog Post for Scrapmatts

Not just for the Boyz

Just last weekend I attended a fabulous retreat in Bruce Rock (Western Australia) where I was able to find my mojo and got a lot of layouts completed.

The layout below features lots of chipboard from Scrapmatts.

The photo was taken of my daughter enjoying the ATV's in Bali. 

Who said its just for boyz??

For this layout I have used the Edge of Town Collection from Scrapberry's.

The collectables are from the factory 42 collection from Kaisercraft.

It has a great grunge feel to it. So I had to pull out the cogs and barbed wire.

CB1076

CB5181

CB1073

To create the background I used 2 stencils. 

I have used a blending tool with black gesso to create texture.

I used white gesso to create the flicks on the page.

This is my second layout.

I have used the same paper collection and added Factory 42 collectables.

The cogs and barb wire are from the leftover chipboard.

To create the colour on the cogs, I used Finnabair Rust Paste - Camouflage.

To colour the barb wire I used the Uniquely Creative Black Glitter Pen.

To add some texture and depth, I also added some squares which I have coloured with the Black Glitter pen.

November creating with Helen - A Baby Boy's layout and a Christmas card/box

Hello and welcome back to Scrapmatts.

It's Helen with you today.

First I'm sharing a layout featuring a photo of one of my Grandsons 
who is now almost seven.  The years have flown by.

To begin, I used a Scrapmatts brick stencil on the back ground - ST9024 A5 
I've used a Crate Paper collection, "Cool kid" 

The chipboard circle was painted with Tim Holtz Ozide, "Fossilized amber"
CB 5140 String Circles 04

The title is from CB6113 Scrap Words 32

The Gears were already painted black, CB1072

The sketch which inspired my page is by Laura Whitaker - thank you Laura.

Next up is a Christmas easel card with a drawer, which holds a few chocolates.
I think it would make a lovely Teacher's gift at the end of the year.

The chipboard garland was painted with Twinkling H2O's
CB5164 Holly 05

The chipboard pieces were embossed in gold, they are:-
CB6111 Assorted Words 27
CB6081 Christmas Stars 02
CB1229 Chains 02  
I used Nuvo Mousse through a stencil to create additional stars

ST5041Stencil Stars

Journal Art & Beautiful Moments

Hello All

Welcome to my September DT post Journal Art & Beautiful Moments

This month I wanted to share with you some Journal Art using chipboard and stencils from Scrapmatts

  

For this page I have coloured it using Dylusions Sprays

The small hearts have been coloured with Alcohol markers from Kaszazz

Two cute cards by Dunja

Hello everyone, it's me, Dunja, i'm finally posting again ... you are enjoying the summer?
Today I'll show you a card I made for my brother. He has moved into his new home. Beside a small gift there was this card in the form of a house. The card is closed with a tax seal.

For the base of the card I've used and white cardstock. For the 'stones' I've used the  Dutch Doobadoo Dutch Mask Art - Bricks and the blending tool with Distress Ink Pumice Stone. The roof I cut from black cardstock and wiped with a white chalk stamp pad. The stamp, which I have used is by Vildastamps Christmas socks with details. Actually a Christmas stamp - but I've only used the socks :)) The sentiment 'The old socks are the same, they now depend only somewhere else' I wrote and printed on the computer.


For the decoration I've used the great chipboard CB6113 Scrap Words 32 and CB1189 Scrapwords 01 by Scrapmatts. To get the word 'is', I cut away from the 'wish' the w and h.


I colored the stamp image with the ZIG - CLEAN COLOR Real Brush Markers.
 

  ❥  ❥  ❥

Now onto my second card for today. It's a birthday card.

The cute stamp is from Create a Smile 'Es ist serviert'. I colored them with my ZIG Clean Color Real Brush markers. The colors are great and they can dissolve and to paint, with water again. The text on the tag 'To celebrate the day' also comes from the 'It's serviert' set of Create a Smile.

The decoration of the top is made with Marianne Design - Creatables - Tassel fringe. Finally, I have used the Birthday Trible Die from Create a Smile. I've used a piece of STICK IT by Ken Oliver and mounted it on the back of the glitter cardstock . So you can put the text after the die-cutting immediately and has - especially on the film - no marks. The Chipboard Pieces are from Scrapmatts. 

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you like my cards.Have a beautiful day and see you soon :)

Hugs from Germany

Memories

Good morning, how are you all? I am currently trying to recover from my trip to QLD, and I need a  holiday from the holiday, have to admit the pain is real when trying to get back into a ''life'' routine but that been said, I have managed to do a layout or two, this month after the very girly month last month I have some masculine layouts to share this month. 

With the CB5132 Chains 01  circles, cut the circle off  under your layers so you can use for another layout or a card that way your extending your stash.

Why not layer your Scrapmatts Chipboard - CB6113 Scrap Words 32 with some of your alpha stickers?

Beautiful

Good morning Rikki here can you believe how quickly the month has flown by? I am here with a new layout today and doing what I love to do which is layering Scrapmatts Chipboard with a bit of fussy cutting thrown in there for good measure.

CB6113 Scrap Words 32 only come in black, I felt that it was too heavy for the layout, this is an easy problem to solve, grab some spray paint and lightly dust the chipboard, if you go too heavy you will lose the details in the words. 

You know I cant go past my CB1229 Chains 02 perfect for boy and girl layouts.
