Fabscraps baby memory box by Kristy

Hello again, Kristy here with another Fabscraps and Prima project to share with you all.

This week I decided to go off the page with a Scrapware box I have been holding onto for a while.

The box is covered in acrylic paint with crackle paint over the top and then I have used Modpodge to adhere the beautiful Bunny Bear 2 paper down and I also used this as a sealer as well. (just remember to ink/distress your paper before sealing or it wont show up as much) yes I figured this out the hard way!

Anyway the Banner is made using Couture Creations Stamps, Docrafts string.and Tim Holtz/Sizzix Vintage Market Die and the Flowers are  Prima Joulee Marble and Mini Meadow.

 Here is a side view showing off the Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch and some pearl string which cover the sides, If you do not have this punch I highly recommend it, I cant help myself from reaching for it for almost every project as it is so versatile so definitely money well spent.

 Right hopefully you can see the "window" in this picture?!. 

To get the beautiful design I popped a piece of acetate paper into an embossing folder and ran it through my Cuttlebug. Voila instant glamor!

The last little Cutie on this box is the super sweet Fabscraps Rocking Horse (which I have painted and covered in Platinum Stickles) its tucked in with some more Prima flowers and a little resin key.

And there you go one sweet little box to fill with memories!

I hope you have a fantastic weekend, Till next week

Hello all, Remember my sneak peek from last week?

Well it gives me great pleasure to share with you my first Scotties DT project using the adorable Baby Bear line from Fabscraps and the always beautiful Prima flowers Joulee Marble and Mini Meadow.

 

 The image is another Saturated Canary digi called Jules, and she is colored using Tim Holtz Distress inks and markers. 

I have also used Distress inks on all my edges and used the Tim Holtz Stamp as a background on my image.
Then a leftover cut out of the Elegant Flourishes Die is used as a mask for gesso which I have topped with Prima bling cut into pieces to follow the lines of the swirl.

Its hard to see above but her petticoats are actually covered in Stardust Stickles. 

To make the Banner I have used Couture Creations Stamps, stamping the pennants in ink and cutting and distressing around the edges, then I added the letters but these were just a little too dark for the card so I used a white gel pen to add in polka dots. All I did then was add some Docrafts string.

I hope you take a closer look at these papers as they have so much to offer.

Have a great weekend.

Kristy!

Sabrina and Prima

Hi Guys 

Today I wanted to share with you another card using Tim Holtz Distress inks, the Prima Pixie glen paper, and a sneak peek of for my next post. 

All of these products I picked up from Scottie Crafts, Jump Here to go and visit the store to see all of their gorgeous new products arriving all the time.

The image I have used is Sabrina from Saturated Canary 

I have used Prima and some other flowers on my layout including one the large one I created out of the paper line, and have tucked away some Prima resin treasures in there too, and of course Prima Say it in Pearls (cant get enough of these as you will soon see)

 

So as promised here is a sneak peek at my next post which features what I like to call this cards "little sister", so come back soon and check it out

Have a great weekend, Kristy:)

Lara's Letters

Hello Bloggers,

Just a quick post today to share a project I made for my little girls room.

The paper I used is the beautiful "Once upon a springtime" by Graphic 45, this is quite an old paper line that I have been holding onto for a while but pop on over to Scottie Crafts shop Here to see the latest that G45 have to offer.

Whew, sorry for all of the photos, its a good thing we didn't name her Esmeralda or something like that

Anyway, everything has been distressed with Tattered rose Distress inks and the fussy cut pieces are mounted with foam squares to give it a more 3D look.

Als0 I have given all of the base pieces a good coat of Mod Podge to seal and protect the surface which is very important for these types of projects, trust me.

Then a little Stickles were added and that's it, I hope you like them.

A Dream and a Wish

Hello Bloggers, Today I want to share with you my latest creation which I have colored using Distress inks and markers,

This way of coloring is all still new to me but im loving how easy these inks are to work with.

Thank goodness for Wendy at Scottie Crafts who gave me the heads up on using Tim Holtz water brush, this little baby is a dream, I highly recommend popping over to the Scotties shop Here and picking one up.

They come in two sizes depending on what you are using them for but the fine detailer is just perfect for stamped images.

 

The image I have used today is "Dandelion Girl" from Wee stamps, Isn't she just so precious with her little socks.

 

 Here is a close up look at the vial in my flower arrangement, im not sure if you can see but inside are tiny dandelion seeds like in the image, Super hard to find in the winter but my little girl and I hunted till we found these three so they are quite special. 

 Speaking of flowers, There is a real mash of brands here including Iamroses, WOC, Prima and some handmade ones but they have all had little touches such as ink,glitter gesso etc to make them a little more special and also to help them mesh well with each other and the paper line which is from Prima's beautiful Pixie glen collection.

 So here is one last look, I will leave a list with links of other products I have used below but feel free to comment if i have missed anything that you are curious about.

Thanks for looking.

Pretty Priscilla

Hello Bloggers

Whoo big fuzzies for me today as I managed to create and blog this card in just a few hours hip hip hooray!!!!
Normally I am one to agonize over every piece of paper and its placement and I can spend what seems like forever in my crate of flowers picking out just the right ones but this card seemed to take on a life of its own today and come together in a snap!

 

Perhaps its the beautiful paper from Graphic 45 (Steampunk Debutante) from Scottie Crafts which I have been holding onto for a while or was it the stunning image from Tiddly inks which was my muse or just maybe it was my first shipment from Wild Orchid Crafts which helped! Either way it happened I am thrilled to bits.

Here is a closer look at Priscilla from the lovely Tiddly inks collection which I have colored up with pencils and odorless mineral spirits.

 

You might notice a tiny mishap that occurred in my coloring due to me using a die to cut the image before laying down my pencil (silly me), but like all mishaps its great to learn from and I didn't have the heart to throw her away so here she is flaws and all and hopefully I can save you from the same mistake!

I have left the sentiment blank as im not too sure what this card will be for yet but it will be great to hold onto for when I need a quick Thank you or Birthday card!

Well that's all from me today, I have a few more digi images that I am slowly collecting so keep an eye out and hopefully I will have more up soon!!!

Have a great weekend everybody.
