Using Charms and Chipboards

Hi everyone Crece here, hope you are enjoying the start to your weekend.

Today I am sharing with you some creations I have made over the past month.

First up is a mixed media Tag. 

 I have never tried this style before so I kept it simple, but cant wait to have another go and experiment some more.

I have used Scrapmatts chipboard and also charms which are also available in the online store!

Here are some close ups...

I loved how this huge flower turned out.

I covered it in Gesso, sprayed some colour mists over the top and then rubbed over the top with some Inka Gold.

I used the word 'Inspire' as I thought thats what this lil tag has given me...inspiration...

The Scrapmatts products used are...

Something Old and New

Can you believe this year is already have over? I can't. It probably doesn't help I've now become a uni student amongst everything else. Still, it's always nice to make time for some creativity!

This next one is actually a retro share... well as retro as last year can be. It was one of my masters entries for 2013 that did not turn out quite as I had hoped. The criteria was making your own background so I used collages of my photo a day prompts of my daughter and overlapped them to make the background, with a few splashes of paint and texture. For some reason I always experiment in strange ways for master's entries. Although I've only entered twice. Not trying this year. The art journal prompt is not really me so easier to give it a miss that fail miserably ;)

And a simple tag. This one was one of those lovely under 10 minute sort of projects that just come together easily.

 

Thanks for visiting.

New Release time!!!

Well June was exciting with the Brisbane Scrapbook Expo and all the shopping, learning and social activities that comes along with one of the biggest scrappy weekends of the year! Of course along with all of that are the fabulous new Scrapmatts releases :)
Ornate frames are one of my favourites and the newest release Ornate Frames CB4066 certainly had me feeling happy!

Using Scrapmatts Chipboard Ornate Frames CB4066, Scrapwords CB6088 and CB1168, Feathers CB1222 along with Charms Fob Watch CH037 and Filigree Flowers #7 CH014

How gorgeous are the new feathers? I just want to use them on every project :)

With my title I used the word 'Times' from the pack CB6088 and cut the 's' off the end as I didn't need the plural. Also for the 'in' I used the word 'inspire' from the CB1168 pack and cut off the 'spire' to get the word I needed. 

I love playing with ATC's and created these two vintage style cards:

Using Scrapmatts chipboard ATC's Rounded Corners ATC10-008 and Arch ATC10-007, Ornate Frames CB5095, Scrapwords CB1191 and CB1197, Clocks CB1107 along with Charms Filigree Flower CH073

Finally this is the layout for the class I taught at Scrapbook Expo using the new Ornate Frames. Thank you to all of the fabulous ladies (and one fantastic gentleman!) who came along and joined in the fun. I love teaching and having a group of people that are happy to get messy and creative and have a laugh along the way just makes it all the more wonderful :)

Happy creating everyone

Trinket Box Card Set

Hand made gifts are a special way of telling some one you care. 

I decided to make boxed card set.

Embellished more simply which is a change for me but I like the end result

This box measures 4 1/2 x 4 x 3 1/2 inches in size and was constructed using  

medium weight chip board.

I used some fairly neutral papers to create a more simple decorative style. 

The scrapmatts chip board packs I used were 

STAMP ATC     ATC10-006

HINGES 01    CB1124

The ATC 's were dry embossed and then inked using distress ink ( victorian velvet )

and the hinges were wet embossed with antique gold embossing powder.

This powder was a perfect match for the metal work I used.

Top View

Open Box

The cards measure 4 x 3 inches and i made envelops to match. 

The base card is made from Kraft card stock I love the natural rustic feel of this type of card stock.

This box can hold 10 cards, 3 are displayed here. 

The scrapmatts packs used on the cards were the following

NESTED SHAPES 03    CB5017

FLOWERS 09    CB1145

ORNATE FRAMES 22    CB1220

LEAF SPRAY 01    CB1146

I used the same paper collection as mats for the cards.

I kept the inking the same on the cards to tie the cards and box together as one project.

Thanks for sharing this post today please come back for more inspiration over the coming 

days from the rest of the design team.

When layouts go wrong....

Hello Scrapmatts fans, Renee here with a series of tags that started off life as a layout.

 I had started to create a mixed media background for a layout but it seriously went wrong so instead of binning it (as sections of it were kinda rockin') I thought I could turn it into a series of tags. I have used quite a few packets of Scrapmatts chippies and charms but I have modified some (like snipping the frame and using it on 3 different tags and the flat charms, snapping them and using the off cuts on another tag.) 

Here I have used: CB5111 Layered Fob Watch 02, CB1198 Scrapwords 06, CB6084 Alphabet Flags 01, CB6096 Ornate Frame 24, CH043 Assorted Charms #4

 Here I have used: CB3004 Tags 02, CB2026 Picket Fences 09, CB1206 Scrap Words 09, CH043 Assorted Charms #4. 

 Here I have used: CB3008 Tags 04, CB6060 Christmas Trees 01 , CB1219 Scrap Words 20, CH043 Assorted Charms #4.

 Here I have used: CB3008 Tags 04, CB6096 Ornate Frame 24, CB1206 Scrap Words 09, CH017 Filigree Corners #2

  Here I have used: CB3008 Tags 04, CB1195 Silhouettes 03, CB5031 Mini Frames 01, CB5096 Layered Frames 02, CB1189 Scrapwords 01

Here I have used: ATC10-025 Sewing Spool 01, CB6096 Ornate Frame 24, CB1190 Scrapwords 02, CH043 Assorted Charms #4.

I hope you enjoy having a look at my spontaneous tag set as much as I enjoyed making it!

Fun with Feathers and a few more Shadow Boxes

Hi Everyone, Anne here.  I have created this layout just for fun, but it features some of the new Scrapmatts Feathers.  I have also heat embossed a heart charm to make it red to go with the design.

And for some close ups of those feathers.....

And I have three different designs of Shadow Boxes to share with you.

This one I have embossed a small section of the upper and lower corners with a metal effect, then rubbed it with ink.

Some close ups.

Then for my Christmas "Dear Santa" Shadow box.

And for some close ups.

And finally, I did a fun shadow box, where I have layered silky web paper with gold tissue, to create a fun textured top to the shadow box.  

And for some more Close ups.

Thanks for Looking.
