Congratulations! Card

Hi there chipboard lovers! This is Sharm here today, sharing a Congratulations card I made using the beautiful window chipboard.

Here are some close-ups and a picture of the card:

Materials Used:

Scrapmatts window chipboard

Echo Park Patterned Paper

Sizzix Stamp & Metal Die

Here is how I made my card:
*First you will want to give some colour to your chipboard. I used gesso and once it was dried, I added some distress paints.

1. Cut a piece of card stock to 4 x 12 & folded it in half.
2. Cut a piece of patterned paper to 3.7 x 5.7.
3. Using an oval die (so it matches the shape of the window), cut out the centre of the patterned paper
4. Flip the centre over so that the colour on the back creates a different effect for the card
5. Using a stamp of your choice, add some images of flowers and foliage about the oval shape
6. Add sentiment

Easy peasy ain't it? Do check the store for more, lovely chipboard designs! 

Together Canvas

Hi there.  It's Christine here & I'm so thrilled to be part of the Scrapmatts team.  Today I'm sharing a canvas which represents me.  I've always wanted to create something that's black & white, & so I gave it a crack with a portrait canvas.

Here are the yummy Scrapmatts Chipboards & Stencil I've used:
   CB6113 Scrap Words 32
   CB1238 Scrap Words 24
   CB5127 Diamond Mesh 03
   ATC 10-008 Rounded Corner 01
   CB6093 Ornate Frames 21
   CB3007 Tags 03
   ST5006 Circles Stencil

I've cut the Rounded Corner ATC in strips.  All chipboards are a given a good coat of black gesso except for the Scrap Words.  Once dry, the ornate frame is then embossed white.  I've then scraped some parts of it so you can see through the black & extra texture.

As for the tag, it was given a top coat of crackle.  For the background I've used the ever versatile Circles Stencil.  Some layers of mists & glitter on the edges are then added.  I wanted it to look like a galaxy & I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Thanks for popping in & do check out the delicious Scrapmatts goodies here.  I hope you've been enjoying the inspiration from the team.  Thanks for dropping by & have a blessed Easter.

Cheers,

Today

Good Morning , Rikki here with my first ever Scrapmatts blog post!!!

This is just a little bit exciting thats for sure. So starting off today I am sharing with you my canvas, our first challenge for the design team. If your anything like me when it comes to finding a photo of yourself is hard enough little known then scrapping it is even harder!!!!

When ever I start a canvas I love to add some texture with texture paste and of course a stunning stencil, this time I have used the Scrapmatts ST1006 Stencil Stars, I find when you do this it helps catch the colours of the medium you are using.

I am also a huge fan of chains!!!! Love how they draw your eye down and around the canvas, CB1229 Chains 02 I love how you can give them a little bend to make them have some movement.

I am all about mass impact when I use my chipboard on a layout or a canvas so the 

CB4026 Flourishes 09 is the perfect way to do this dont forget you can cut up all your flourishes to get them to fit into what ever you create.

How awesome are these words??? They are just perfect for any finishing touch.

CB6106 Assorted Words 24

CB4026 Flourishes 09

So till next time, I am off to create some more, with chipboard of course.....

Have a creative day.

Rikki

I'm early, I'm early for a very important date!!!! Easter

Hi & Welcome

 

Fi here, with my very first share as one of the new 2016 Design Team Members.

 

Today I am sharing three cards that I made yesterday and hoping they may
inspire you to get creative for Easter.  Scrapmatts chipboard words are the perfect
size to use not only on cards and tags, but project life as well.

 

  Moments To Share

 

I had a little fun on this one using the String Circles 
to create a birds like nest under the egg, along with Scrap Words 28.

  

Easter With Love

On this one I have again used String Circles CB5140 giving it
a coat of gesso, and CB1200 Scrap Words 08.

And lastly we have........

Celebrate

 

 

On this card I have used the Scrapmatts CB1200 Scrap Words 08. 

I love how these words are shaped like little clouds
adding a little whimsy to your project.

I hope you've not only enjoyed my projects but I also been inspired. 
Creating Easter cards is not only fun but a great way to give someone a handmade gift!

Thankyou for joining me today and don't forget to check out the

'Hippity Hoppity Easter's on it's way!

Hello All 

Kim here to share with you a few 

Easter Tags I have created.

 I decided to make a few Easter gift tags & get in the Easter spirit!

 

Scrapmatts has a great selection of tags & ATC's.

I have coloured the Scrapmatts String Circles using 'Colour Crush' pigment powders. 

(you mix these with water & then apply using a paint brush or put in a spritzer bottle & spray on).

Scrapmatts products used;

Tags (CB3009)

String Circles (CB5139) 

String Circles (CB5114) 

&

 

 Tile Pattern Stencil (ST5021)

I used the stencil to create a little background texture

(it's a little hard to see)

I do hope you like my little creations?

I am so very happy to be staying on with SCRAPMATTS as a Design Team member for 2016.

And I am loving all the wonderful & inspirational projects the 2016 DT are sharing with us!

If you would like to see more wonderful creations remember to stop by the 

Scrapmatts Ning Site  

and have a look around.

Until next time

 Happy Creating!

 

Hello everyone, Lisette here.

I am so excited to be on the Scrapmatts Design Team for 2016

with some very talented scrapbookers.

Welcome to my first blog post.

Today I would like to share with you two cards I have made this week and a layout from earlier in the year.
Although I always make cards (can't remember last time I bought one) I don't usually put this much effort into them.  However this time I know the recipients will really appreciate them (hopefully they arrive via Aust Post before they see this blog!)

This first card is for a dear friend whose Sister In Law passed away recently.

I started with white cardstock and used texture past with the Tile Stencil ST5024.  I then sprayed it with various shades of mists.
I have also used a flourish CB1004 which I altered using mists and then added the sentiment from Words CB1236 and finished off with a flower.

My second card is for my husbands God Daughter who has been sick for a while.

Using the same technique of texture paste and mists I used Dots stencil ST5006. I used some CB60013 flowers and finished off with laugh from Words CB1200.

I haven't had time to complete a new layout for this post so have used one I did at the beginning of this year.

I have always loved Scrapmatts chipboard so already had some in my collection.  I have used Chains CB1229, Smile from Words CB1200 & Life sentiment CB6103.  The inkblot stencil is one from my stash however Scrapmatts have two fabulous stencils that are similar ST1009 & ST5012.

Hope these projects have inspired you to use the fabulous

Chipboard and Stencils from Scrapmatts. 

You can go the online store here Scrapmatts

Until next month, happy scrapping

'Me' Canvas my Amy

Hello There Scrapmatt fans,

Amy with you. I'm so excited to share my first creation with you. Its all about me! I don't get to create layouts with photos of me often when you are always trying to capture family moments. But as my local scrapbook store group tell me. We all need an obituary photo HAHA.

Now let me tell you what I have used CB6106, CB6105, CB6063, and Stencil ST5011

And Here is my Canvas called 'ME'.

I have used white modelling clay for the stencil and then painted over the top with 3 types of pink gelato.

 I've painted the Hello chipboard with pink acrylic and then added Dimensional Magic to provide some shine

I have embossed the clock faces with white emboss powder.

So that is my first crafty creation for you using Scrapmatts chipboard and stencils.

I hope you have enjoyed it and I look forward to creating more for you soon

Stay Scrappy,

Amy
