Birdhouse Christmas Decoration & Layout

Welcome

Jodie here with you today sharing my latest project with you all.

***************************

The first I want to share with you is an off the page project.

I found this little birdhouse at my local Spotlight store and thought it would make a fantastic addition to my Christmas Decorations.

I started by covering it with some Kaisercraft Silver Bells paper but you could just leave it plain if you like.

I then used the large Christmas Star to frame the hole.

I cut the centre from the star.

Around the base I added a small picket fence.

To cover the roof I used some gauze and then placed the webbing over the top to give it the look of branches.

I then sprayed the whole thing with a can of silver spray paint.

Once that was dry, I covered it with Diamond Dust to add some sparkle.

To finish it off I added some birds and wrapped some Christmas star tinsel around it.

This is the finished project.

**********************************

The other project I would like to share with you is a single page layout.

Papers used are from Kaisercraft Time Machine Collection.

Firstly I started with the Circle Stain Stencil (One of my favourites) and used Kaiser's Coffee Spray mist and sprayed through the stencil and then let shook the stencil over my page to get the drops.

On this page I have used the smallest string circle, the lamps, cogs border 10 (cut to make the cluster) and some assorted words.

I have coloured them using Prima's Rust Effect Paste in Red Dust and Brown Rust.

You can find all of these products at Scrapmatts.com

Here are a list of the chipboard I have used.

OCTOBER CREATIONS WITH LIZZY!

Hello there, I hope your day is going well..

I would like to share with you two layouts I have recently created using lots of wonderful SCRAPMATTS products.

On the first layout I am sharing with you today I have used 3 lovely stencils on my back ground in gold. I mixed gold paint with texture paste to get the consistency I was after to be able to spread it over the stencil.
I will list the stencils and chipboard pieces after I show my layout.
I have used one of the DRESS FORMS 02 CB6037 which I covered in gorgeous gold beading as the colors for my layout are gold and black.

I have also used a quaint LAMP POST 06 CB5028 in black as well..
One of my favorite stencils is the STAR STENCIL ST5039 so you will see me use that one a lot.. It is great for Christmas themes too..
and my layout..

Oh so Lovely!

Oh and I cant forget the CHIPBOARD FILM STRIPS 05 CB1232 which I covered in black.

STENCIL ST1037 Stencil Bling

STENCIL ST5039 Stencil Stars

STENCIL ST5016 Stencil Starburst

CHIPBOARD CB6037 Dress Form 02

CHIPBOARD CB5028 Lamp Post 06

CHIPBOARD CB1232 Film Strips 05

The next layout I would like to share is one for the Design Team I am on and we had to use the word "Adventure" on our layout somewhere.. I found a photo to use and then I got some fabulous chipboard pieces that were great for my layout.

And once again I have used the Starburst Stencil on the back ground and I think the ultimate adventure would be a hot air balloon ride so I have used a fabulous HOT AIR BALLOON CB5035 chipboard too.

And I confess I really do love the Chipboard Film Strips 05 CB1232 as I have used one on this layout as well.

and my layout....
Adventure awaits..

And just under the photo I have used one of the Chipboard CHAINS 02 CB1229 painted in pink, with the trendy
Chipboard CIRCLES 02 CB5152 colored using ink pads.

STENCIL Star Burst ST5016

CHIPBOARD Hot Air Balloons 01 CB5035

CHIPBOARD Film Strips 05 CB1232

Helen with you today

Hello, hello, welcome.
It's my turn to share some projects for
SCRAPMATTS
I've been eager to use the large circles as a photo mat;
to do so, I had to cut into them and rearrange the pieces.
I'm really happy with the result. CB5152 Circles 02
They were heat embossed with Stampendous Aged Teal.

The floral paper is from Cocoa Vanilla, Make a Wish, "Fresh cut"

and the spotty papers are from a Lawn Fawn 6x6 pad,

"Polka dots in the meadow."

For the Mixed media, I applied texture paste through

ST1004 Stencil Bubbles

before splashing some acrylic paint over the bubbles.

The love title was lightly brushed with Pearl paint.

CB6115 Assorted Words 28

The sub title - You and Me arrow, is from a pack of eleven.

CB6105 Assorted Words 23

I love the little heart foliage tucked into the cluster.

Heart Spray 01

This is one of my favourite photos of you with Pa.

The journalling is on the back of the page and it reads:-

You were perched on Pa’s knee in your special Elsa dress and helping him to blow out his Birthday candles. The look between you two clearly shows the unconditional love you have for each other. This year in Pa’s Father's day card, you dictated your words to Mummy to write for you. You said “Thank you for taking me to the cafe with you. We hope you had a very good Father’s day, we treat you and keep you and don’t let you die. I love you”

Photo 5th April 2015, your words September 2016 - love Granny

When I spotted the Vintage children at Christmas SC007 in my happy mail from Sophie, I thought they deserved a very special card. I had seen a video by Collette Mitrega on her You Tube channel and this is my version.
I had to adjust the size to fit the images.

I challenged myself to use some older papers to make a Christmas card.

My thoughts were that that the great range of Scrapmatts goodies

would transform the papers into something special.

I'm love the way it turned out. What do you think?

The PEACE title CB6111 Assorted Words 27, was wet embossed;
CB5144 Layered Poinsettias 01 on the belly band were
painted with distress inksand topped with dimensional magic.

This photo trying to show the way the card opens.

The Christmas Tree CB1060 Christmas Trees 02
was wet embossed too and trimmed with Kaisercraft pearls.
The Merry Christmas ornament comes in a pack of fifteen.

The final project is also a Christmas card with a pop out centre.
I found many different versions on Pinterest.

The Joy title was wet embossed, CB6111 Assorted words 27
The Merry Christmas Ornament is from the same pack of fifteen.

The hanging stars were created with texture paste
and gold paint through a Star stencil

The stars and the tree on the presents are from
Assorted Words pack
Well that's all for me, I hope you've found something to inspire you.
All the SCRAPMATTS products are available direct.
I'd love to see you upload your projects to the gallery.
Until next time - Happy Crafting.

My Girls: By Rhonda

Hello again all my lovelies, I have dragged myself from the craft room to this confounded device to again bring you three of my creations and YEP...Plenty of our awesome Scrapmatts goodies are again the feature.

No prizes up for grabs to guess that my family feature in both pieces.

Another canvas is offered up for my first with my daughter front and centre followed by a Scrapmatts Federation Tray highlighting the beauty of my son's partner accompanied by her birthday card.

Family Means Love

To start with I covered the 8 x 10 canvas panel with a sheet of Blue Fern's Autumn Anthology. Following this I used texture paste laid over the ST5045 Circle Stencil and once dried coloured it with a variety of LSG's.

I added more layers of the same paper to the sides under the CB5010 Ornate Frame 10 and did the same with the paper doily at the top.

On the image above right you can see the script stamp I used...This stamp is only available from Scrapmatts shows.

The frame colour was enhanced with Dew Drop Turquoise Gem, the photo was added and then dressed with some flowers and flourishes.

The flower at the top right was framed by the inner section of CB5138 String Circles 02 whilst CB2003 Page Borders 02 was cut in half and utilised in two positions and coloured to match the theme.

CB6113 Scrap Words 32 - "Family Means Love" stood out as the logical title.

Just the butterfly and the heart from CB6102 Assorted Words 21 were used as small embellishments as final touches apart for a few flowers.

Naomi's Birthday Frame

The ever lovely Sofie gave me this awesome Federation Tray as a challenge whilst Scrapmatts were in Perth...Challenge Accepted...

The CB7013 Australian Federation Tray 05 was first given 4 coats of white MDF spray paint then as a background to the photo I chose a patterned paper that complimented it. I was very happy that even though many coats of paint were used that all the fine details were still highlighted.

Flanking the sides and top was a collection of 49 and Market flowers in multi-blue. I could have gone mad with these flowers but covering up Andrew's stunning fretwork would have been sinful.

I really do hope I have done the Federation piece justice.

........................................................................

And no birthday is complete without a card so I knocked up a matching card from the left over paper & flowers whilst adding that all important touch that is always within my reach from my Scrapmatts Chipboard Stash that helps so much with my creativity.
