August @ Scrapmatts.

Hello dear friends of 

Scrapmatts!

Kim here to kick off the month of August.

For me, from this point in the year the months just seem to zoom by and before I know it Christmas is upon us! 

I'm starting off August with, (YES! Christmas creations...eeek!)

Maybe this is the year I might be more organized.......? 

(But, I highly doubt it!)

  So, I have been on the Shaker card theme for a little while now and I thought why not create a few shaker tags & a shaker card with Christmas in mind......

Here is what I made...

Warm welcome to July with Kim

Hello dear friends of Scrapmatts!

Kim here to kick of the month....I am a day late due to some tech issues.

Today I am sharing a layout and also a cute little shaker tag!

First I will show you my layout created using one of the new stencil designs.

This is Madison, my always beautiful, middle daughter.

Here is the full layout!

[Always Beautiful]

 To create the bronze/copper effect I placed the Scrapmatts stencil onto the card stock, then I used an embossing stamp pad and pressed it over the stencil. Next I removed the stencil, took some Tinby Design Metallic Melts in Bronze & sprinkled it over my inked area and then used my heat tool to set the Melts.

the random circles I have used are from the Circle Mesh.

Now here is the Shaker Tag, I have made.

This is for a new baby girl.

 Scrapmatts chipboard pieces work extremely well in shaker cards/tags and they add a fun element along with the usual seed beads & sequins. 

Next month I hope to have a few Christmas designs ready to show you!

Scrapmatts May creating with Helen - a layout and a card

Hello and welcome back to Scrapmatts.

It's Helen with you today.

First I'm sharing a bath time layout; 

the bubbles stencil and chipboard seemed just right for this page. 

This little Bubba loved his bath. No matter what mood he was in before he hit the water, he instantly became angelic in the suds.

I used my favourite embossing powder on the wings and the string circle frame.
It's Aged Ivory from Stampendous.   The Bubble chipboard was just swiped with Gesso and I used Liquitex texture paste through the stencils.

Scrapmatts products used:
ST1004 Stencil Bubbles 
 ST1003 Stencil Sticks 
 CB1120 Wings 01
CB5131 Bubbles 01
CB4071 String Circles 07
CB6095 Assorted Words 18
CB1198 Scrapwords 06

Next up is a vintage style card

This is a tent style card, so that I could attach a ribbon at the top.
I decorated the inside as well. The paper is from Pion.
I inked the spray of Roses and added shine with Glossy Accents.
The ornate frame was wet embossed with Aged Ivory from Stampendous.

November Love - Lauren Tomecek

Just one month to go until Christmas, I can hardly believe how quickly this year has flown by! I have two projects to share with you this month. The first is a mixed media tag in my trademark purple/blue/pink colour scheme. I love how sturdy the Scrapmatts chipboard tag bases are, you can really abuse them with multiple different mediums and techniques.

I've included a close up shot of this project too, to show the tulle backing to the heart, the crackle finish to the edging of the heart and the painted details on the metal charms.

Chipboard: CB3009 Tags 05; CB5113 Heart Frames 10; CB6113 Scrap Words 32.

Stencil: ST1008 Stencil Cracks; ST1004 Stencil Bubbles.

Project number two is a layout featuring my two favourite men, my husband and my son. The photo is from Harrison's first swim in our complex pool.
