Good Times Packaging Tags


Good Times Packaging Tags




 OMG.....It's already April, where do these months go?
HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL

This month I was inspired by my friend Rosalie to use up my packaging tags. I recently attending a Scrap Retreat and she was sitting next to me and was using her packaging to create some amazing mixed media art. 

I was so impressed and thought "I have some of those packaging pieces at home" just sitting in a draw, as I thought to myself "I'll use those one day".

So this month I have created two packaging tags to share with you.

  This is the first tag. 
The base is a Prima Marketing package. It had a collage of words on it. 
To create the background I have covered it with clear gesso and used modelling paste with the Lattice and Gears Stencils. 
For the colours I used Kaisercraft Mists in Antique Gold, Coffee and Turquoise. 



I then embellished the tag with Scrapmatts charms, Finnabair Mechanicals and Metal embellishments.




I finished the tag by applying a chipboard word and using Finnabair's Rust Paste.
The embellishment at the top of the wings is an old watch face.
Add a few micro beads for bling and I was very happy with the end result.

 List of products used can be found at Scrapmatts


This is the second tag I have created using Tim Holtz packaging.

This tag features Scrapmatts charms, chipboard and stencils.


To create the background I have used modelling paste with the Diamond stencil and then layered the chipboard in the pattern I liked and then added the Finnabair Metal Embellishment with the wing charm from Scrapmatts.



 I then used Kaisercraft mists, rust paste and micro beads to add colour and texture.

 
Here I have added some metal charms and mechanicals.

 Word Chipboard added here with Believe charm.



















To give the effect of wings from the back of the metal embellishment I have used the skeleton leaves.

To finish the tag off I used some Kaisercraft Charcoal ink and dripped along the sides and finished with white gesso flicks and micro beads and powder.

These are the products I have used for this tag all available from Scrapmatts

April Scrapping

Lisette here with my April post - I know everyone says it, but where has the year gone! I can't believe that Easter is here!

Luckily I went to a scrapbooking retreat at the end of February where I did lots of creating.  Life has been way too busy in the last month or so.

I did both of these layouts at retreat.  Love getting in the flow where you can do layout after layout, no having to think of whats for dinner, or what other stuff has to be done.  Love that I am able to get away to create a few time in the year and be surrounds by wonderful talented ladies.

I did this layout for a challenge but as per usual forgot to enter it!

I love this photo of my hubby, totally relaxed and having a good laugh.



As always I started the layout using stencils and Colour Blast texture paste.

ST90020 - A4

CB5165 Lavender - and yes I did use flowers on a masculine layout.










CB113 Heart Frames 10
 

CB6105 Assorted Words 23



I created this layout for a challenge blog where I am on the Design team.  We had to use Brown, Boarders & Fun. 

I did the Miss Muddy 5k Mud run with my daughter in September last year.  Something I had never done before.  It was wonderful doing it with Kaitlyn and friends from the gym.  We got very messy, had lots of laughs and most of all had heaps of fun.





Again I started with a stencil and texture paste.  I realised as I was doing this post that I use the same Colour Blast texture paste for both layouts and also used a different size of the hexagon stencil.  I think this is a fabulous idea - having the same stencils in 3 different sizes and each size has 3 variations.

ST90020 - A5

CB1229 - Chains 02
 

CB1236 - Scrap Words 22
 
 
CB6106 Assorted Words 24













 

I hope my layouts have inspired you to create, especially with the Easter Long Weekend on our doorstep.  I know I intend to!

Happy Easter everyone.  
Stay Safe and enjoy with family and friends.

Lisette 😊

April creating with Helen - two layouts and a card

Hi there Scrappy friends, welcome back.
Today I'm sharing some projects for the SCRAPMATTS Design team.

The first two pieces were also combined with CSI challenges,
 as Scrapmatts was generously sponsoring them.


Scrapmatts products used:-
 CB1028 Butterflies 18
CB1239 Scrap Words 25
 CB1161 Flowers 11

I used one of Laura Whitakers sketches from March 2016 - thank you Laura.

The second project, was also a combined challenge for CSI/Scrapmatts
The Scrapmatts chipboard circle was wet embossed.
The Title was painted with distress ink and clear embossed
and the heart was randomly dabbed with a water colour wash.

Scrapmatts products used:-
CB1071 Hearts 04

Finally I have a masculine card inspired by my friend Margaret Mifsud.  I was honoured to receive one of her fabulous cards at Christmas time and loved the double front fold.
I used one of my favourite new stencils. ST5046 - Latttice
with some Gold Colour Blast paste on the background.
The chipboard flourishes were wet embossed. CB4069 Ornate Frames

And the CB1244 - Scrapwords 40 were left cream.
Thanks for visiting today, I hope you will look out for the next
