Cappuccino or Espresso & a baking mold mixed media piece by Dunja

Hello everyone, today it's my turn at the Scrapmatts Blog. I've used the great stencils and chipboards from Scrapmatts and the stamp is from Vildastamps. The background I have embossed white with the Stencil and decorated with some splashes of color and enamel dots. The text 'Best Times' is a Chipboardset of Scrapmatts.

 

The coffee cup there is only one size - as the Cappuccino. As an espresso is mostly spent in small cups, I just cut off the bottom. ;) The band is made of kraft paper, the rest of the cup I colored myself with the ZIG Markers. Finally cut out the cups and tied a cord around the mug. The cups are glued with Glue Dots on the card.

Do you like the coffee card? :) 
  

And here is my second September Creation for you.

It's a little Mixed Media Piece. I've used an old cake baking mold and painted it with lots of Gesso, to get a shabby look. Then i've added pieces of old bookpages and glued them with an acrylic paint. After that i added a lace and a paper doily on the top. The cirle was cut out with a die and the stencil was used with modeling paste and color burst by Ken Oliver. For a lovely result of the baking mold i added a few flowers and the chipboard element as an eyecatcher.

   

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

I hope that you've enjoyed both Inspirations :)

If you have any questions please feel free to ask me.
I'm glad to help :)

Lots of Love from Germany

Wall Decor & Card

Hello there! Hope you fellow Scrapmatts fans are having a super week so far :) 

I recently moved house and have been on a mission to create some cutesy wall decor pieces to complement my scrapbook page that adorn the walls of my new home.

Here is one such piece that was put together using the adorable Owl chipboard piece:

How to:

1) Pick a patterned paper of your choice. (I chose subtle shades to match my girl's room)

2) Trace out the shape of the chippie onto patterned paper

3) When cutting out the shape, cut outside the line so that when you adhere the paper, it covers the chipboard fully

Materials Used:

MAking Memories Patterned Paper

Doodlebug Cardstock

CB4064 Layered Owls 03

Next up is a card

Materials Used:

Kaisercraft Patterned Paper

CB1200 Scrapwords 08

CB1195 Silhouettes 03

Jewelry Inspiration

Hi there! Ever wondering how to effectively use chipboard pieces as jewelry?

Well, my post today is to show just how we can do that!

Using chipboard to make jewelry can be rather tricky considering it isnt the most tough of materials.

The key is to:
1) Use as little water as possible
2) Adhere similar pieces together, giving it a sturdy feel
3) Keep experimenting till you get the right look and feel

Here are some pics before I share a little tute:

Materials Used:

CB5133 Africa 01CB4066 Ornate Frames 23

Step-By-Step Tute:

1) Adhere pieces of similar chipboard together

(i.e: frame to frame, giraffe to giraffe)

2) Add chain links to the top of the oval frame (as shown in picture

3) Jazz up your ensemble will some bling and other materials.

4) Wear it!

Love is in the Air!

Woot! Love the new blog for the new year and some NEW chippies to show off as well!

Here is one of the stunning new designs hot off the laser cutter down at Scrapmatts HQ:

Here I have used the new chipboard CB5112 Hanging Hearts 01

(see below for how the chippies start off life!)

 

I have used gesso and the Tim Holtz distress paints to colour this and finished off with a few extra embellishments, ribbon and a black felt tip pen.

Next up I have a layout I completed for the January post which I missed as I was quite ill with food poisoning! but I thought I would share it with you now:

The Grass Isn't Always Greener

 Here I have used  CB2024 Picket Fences 07 which I have simply gessoed,  CB5099 Grass 01  gessoed and then painted with water and gelato's, and CB5106 Chevrons 01
which have been gessoed, gelatoed anddoodled on with a black marker.

Thanks for letting me share my new creations for 2014 and hope you are enjoying the new blog! Don't forget to check out the Scrapmatts ning gallery  too!
