Blessed and a Goodbye

Hello all!

I'm here today to share my latest creation for 

Kaisercraft.

I have been playing with the Fallen Leaves collection.

I have used papers from the 6 x 6 Paper Pad,

layering with some of the gorgeous collectables.

I am in love with the gorgeous birds!

And all of the botanical elements.

Lots of layering with this one.

Lovely tones and feel to this collection.

I hope that you like what I have created.

Unfortunately this will be my last layout as a designer for Kaisercraft,

as I have returned to Uni and no longer have the spare time I used to.

Thanks for all your support over the past couple of years.

Thanks to Kaisercraft for the wonderful opportunity,

I have enjoyed my time there.

Until next time!

Mini Madness Album

Hello all!

I'm here today to share some 

Mini Madness inspiration with you for

Scrap Matrix

I was lucky enough to receive this cute little mini album from Vicki.

I have created a little spread art journal spread.

I have kept it pretty simple, I find working on a small scale very challenging!

I have used the 'TCW Skylight Stencil',

and have sponged on some 'Dina Wakley Acrylic in 'Night'

I love the effect and colour! YUM!

Next, a coat of 'Dina Wakley Acrylic in Cheddar', onto some white cardstock.

I have then used the 'AAll & Create Stamp #35' to stamp out the chicken with black ink.

So cute!

I have then fussy cut the chicken out. 

I also stamped out some flowers of this piece.

I have then stamped out the ballet shoes, 

and the sentiment using 'Distress Ink in Mowed Lawn'.

I have then adhered all the pieces to my pages. 

I am quite happy with how it turned out,

a little bit quirky!

I hope that you have liked what I created. 

I can't wait to see what you all come up with for this challenge!

Until next time!

'Not all who wander are lost' 2Crafty Chipboard

It's Lisa here on the blog today to share some

inspiration with you.

I have another insert page

 for the album, I am creating for my Grandfather, 

using some of his awesome photos.

2Crafty Products used:

My Grandfather was also very interested in bicycle riding,

so that is the theme of this page. 

I have used some of the 'Steampunk Gears Small',

that I have inked in dark brown.

I love the vintage feel I am creating with this album.

I have also used one of the 'Pointing Finger Signs',

that I have left raw and adhered to the top of my page.

I have used one of the 'Frame Small Postage Stamp',

that I have again inked with dark brown ink,

along with a few of the 'Steampunk Gears Medium'.

For this next part, I have used one of the 'Tiny Film Strips',

inked in brown. I have also used one of the 'Light Bulbs',

that I have left raw.

For this final part of the page, I have used one of the 'Pen Nibs',

also left raw, layered with some of my embellishments.

I am really loving how this album is pulling together,

there are so many awesome 2Crafty Chipboard pieces,

 that I can use with the theme I am going for.

I hope you like it too!

Until next time!

'Mini Tags' Scrap Matrix

Hello all!

I am here today to share some 

Mini Madness with you,

for this month's challenge for 

Scrap Matrix

I have created a couple of mini gift tags.

I have started with a card base, these are only 2.5 x 3.5 inches big.

I have used some of my Dina Wakley Media Acrylics for the base in 'Sand'

I have then added some streaks of the 'Night',

 along with some Dylusions paint in 'Cherry Pie' 

I have then used some 'Distress Oxide in Peacock Feathers',

stencilled through my 'Prima Checker 12 x 12 Stencil'

Next I have used the 'AAll & Create Stamp #3'

and my 'Archival Ink Pad', to stamp the circles onto my tags.

Then I have used my 

'Art Philosophy Oil Pastels- Rustic' to doodle some lines and shapes. 

I have then added some torn strips of collage papers, from the

'Art by Marlene Collage Papers #3' 

I have then added some pieces of 'White Lace Trim',

that I have stapled onto my tags. 

Some more close ups :)

To finish I have added some sentiments using the 

'Tim Holtz Label Letters'

And lastly some 'Molossi Crystal Gems' 

 for a little bit of bling 

I don't usually create on this small scale,

but I enjoyed the challenge, 

and I am really happy with how they turned out.

I hope that they inspire you to create something mini,

 for this month's challenge.

Until next time!

Grungy Tags 2Crafty Chipboard

Hello everybody!

It's Lisa here today to share some grungy inspiration with you.

I have created a pair of gift tags,

perfect for the men in my life :)

2Crafty Products used:

 

For my first tag I have started with a mixed media background ,

I have used one of the 'Sequins Negative Bits' pieces, 

that I have roughly inked in black & brown.

I have also used one of the 'Steampunk Gears Medium',

and one of the 'Dominos',

that I have left raw and adhered into my layers.

I have also used one of the 

'Light Bulb Word Set 1',

which I have also left raw to go with the grungy feel.

Along with one of the 'Mini Family Icons'.

For my second tag I have used the same papers and grunge feel, 

I have used one of the 'Brick Panel',

that I have cut into pieces and finished with black embossing powder.

I have also used one of the 'Scrabble Tiles',

left raw and on my layers.

I have used another of the 'Steampunk Gears Medium'

and the 'Light Bulb Word Set 1', 

that I have inked brown.

To finish I have used one of the 'View Finders', 

left raw in among my layers.

I hope that you like what I have created,

and that it inspires you to get crafty today!

Until next time!
