February Creations with Tania

Hello there!

Tania joining you today to share some projects I created as part of my DT work for February, using lots of gorgeous Scrapmatts goodies! 

First up this month I have a couple of cards.....


I created the card backgrounds by using some distressed patterned paper layers.  I added more layers using the Parisian Moments and Vintage Frame Montage Creations.  First time using them, so many gorgeous designs........

I painted up some Ornate Frames with Pearl sparkly paint.  The other chipboard pieces have been left raw.  The finished off my cards using some pretty blooms and a Happy Birthday sentiment.

The first card.......


Some close ups......




Second card......


A few close ups.....








My second project to share with you this month is an altered Handbag Caddy.


I painted the wood pieces in pearl paint and while they were still wet I sprinkled glitter over them,  yes crazy I know!!  I'm still finding glitter everywhere lol! But in saying that the Handbag Caddy was a gift for a friend's little girl and just to see the gorgeous happy smile on her face made it all worth it!!!
Once dry I covered the outside pieces with patterned papers.  I also painted up the Mini Heart tray, butterflies and lavender chippies in the pearl paint and covered them with glitter.  I added the Heart to the front and then embellished around it with pretty blooms.  I tucked the lavender chippies into the flower clusters and added a couple of butterflies to the handle and bottom left of the bag.  I finished off by adding the word "Dream".

Some close ups......








Well that's all from me today!  I hope I have inspired you all a little.  Don't forget to check out the store here for all your Scrapmatts goodies, and also pop back to the blog to see the gorgeous creations from the other DT girls.

 Until next time, happy crafting Tania xx

The Look of Love





Hello all 
Kim here to share with you a few of my latest creations....of course inspired by 

Love
(well.... it is February, after all!) 
My first share is a card
Let me show you!

 For this card I have used Maja Design papers....the softness of the papers goes so well with the White Mist Scrapmatts chipboard.




 And here are two gift tags I have put together.
Using a combination of papers from Maja Design & Prima.




 
 With this tag I painted some of the Scrapmatts feathers pink & grey using some Prima water colour metallic paint & I also left a couple in the white mist.

Hello Happy - By Crece T


 Hello fellow crafters, Crece here with you today to Start the Month of February off by sharing a layout I have created using some lovely Scrapmatts Chipboard and stencils.



 Hello Happy
And here are some close ups of my layout to show a little more detail.
Above: I have used some crackle medium through ST1002 - Diamond Stencil
This is one of my favourite stencils to use as its very versatile for different styles.


I have also used CB1045 - Butterflies 19, I used some coordinating coloured ink to colour it.


I was going through my Stash of Scrapmatts and came along this oldie...

This is where I got the letters to spell out 'HELLO'

Also you can see I have used the word Happy from CB6117 Assorted Words 30
a butterfly from CB1158 - Butterflies 20

As well as CB5141 Retro Squares 02 I used some grey ink to colour the squares to help them stand out on the background I created for the layout.



Thanks for stopping by,

Make sure you check back here to see the rest of the Design Teams projects they have created for the month.
Don't forget to also check back on the Scrapmatts store to see new items when they are released.

Have a great February

Crece

Scrapbook layouts by Kelly-ann

Good Morning All...

What an absolute pleasure it is to be here on the Scrapmatts Blog today.

Now that the chaos of the silly season is behind me I've finally had the chance to sit down and create with these divinely detailed chipboards ...

Be still my beating heart ... or heart shaped template as the case may be!!


To create the embellishments on this page I have teamed up two gorgeous sets...

  Image result for CB6117 Assorted Words 03
CB5178 - Wildflowers 05 and  CB6117 Assorted Words 03

As well as playing in the background with this divinely simple heart template...



   

Add some simple colours with inks...


I used a white pen and the heart template to create the background, smudging a few of the hearts as I went to give them a solid look.



Another layout done recently used the gorgeous dream catcher set...


CB5186 Dreamcatcher 01
                             

Again I used simple inks to colour the chipboard and then added just a bit of Crystalina Kind Glitz to give it a bit of sparkle :) 

                               

  
A6 Stencil - Diamonds 9070    

CB6112 Scrap Words 31


And just a bit of cotton to add some dimension and extra detail to the dream catcher...



Thanks for popping by for a look.

Cheers from Kel

Happy Australia Day 2019!

Happy Australia Day everyone!  I can't believe that we are almost at the end of January already.

I haven't done much scrapping at all recently so I only have one layout to share today.

October 2018 we went to Sculptures By the Sea at Bondi (as well as lots and lots and lots of other people).  I love all the sculptures but in my opinion the star of the show was Mother Nature.  Kraft+ challenge blog's challenge for January was and indigenous theme.  I immediately thought of these pictures.
 






Products used:-











  ST5007 Stencil Stones



 ST9003 Stencil Circles A6











CB5139 String Circles 03





CB1159 Hearts 05

I was lucky enough to be given a couple of products that haven't made it to the shop as yet.  The corrugated shapes are fun to use and will be available soon - look out for them.

I am going to a Scrapbooking Retreat in a couple of weekends so will have lots of layouts to share next month.

Until then, enjoy your Australia day.
Hopefully you will have some time to be creative, I know I am hoping too!
