CREATAImpressions Rub Ons...

I recently dug out some rub ons which I had wanted to try for quite a while. The rub ons are by CREATAImpessions and have a raised textured finish so they are much nicer than the standard rub ons. In the end, playing around with these rub ons resulted in a card...

 
I used the following to create this card:
 
Basic Grey
 
Craftwork Cards
 
Magnolia
 
CREATAImpressions
 
Dusty Attic
 
Inka Gold
 
Thank you for looking

More recent layouts...

I have been busy lately creating new layouts and trying different products to what I normally use and wanted to share my most recent....


I am so pleased how this layout came out considering that it is quite a simple effect and not too fussy. Until last week I had not considered using embossing folders on scrapbook layouts yet we received the new Spellbinders M-Bossabilities folders and after seeing a layout that spellbinders used these on I thought I would give it a go!

For the cardstock squares I cut the Payper Box Pearlescent card into 5" x 5" Squares and then embossed these using the M-Bossabilities Embossing Folders. Once this was done I used the Viva Decor Inka Gold paint to add a subtle metallic sheen to the embossed areas. This paint comes in a thick creamy form and I applied this lightly with my fingers.

Echo Park Mini Album ...

Have you seen the new chipboard albums by Echo Park? They have pull out parts for you to add extra detail or photos! They come in a rectangular shape or a circular design. I created an album using the rectangular design and the Kaiser Craft 'Check In' Collection of papers and Collectable Cardstock Die Cut Shapes.

For the pull out parts I decided to use these areas for Quotes and Journaling rather than pictures as the Kaiser Craft papers had some great designs on the papers which were just the right size.

I Covered the album edges to begin with in Kaiser Craft Acrylic Paint in Black and then added all of the papers and embellishments. The pictures do not show it but all of the cardstock shapes I have adhered using 3D Foam glue pads to make the album more dimensional.











The small stickers which I have used on the tabs are by 7 Gypsies and are called 'Mini Label Sticker Sheet - Travel'.

Now I just need to find the perfect pictures!

Thank you for looking :)

Kaiser Craft 'Save the Date'

This is a layout which I scrap-lifted from the Kaiser Craft Blog (www.kaisercraft.com.au/blog)
This layout was created using the new Kaiser Craft 'Save the Date' Collection of papers and a pack of the collectable die cut cardstock shapes from the same set.
As soon as I saw this layout, I knew I had the perfect picture for it and the colours of this collection work so well for summer layouts as well as birthdays and celebrations.


You can find our 'Save the Date' selection here.

I also recently created a Christmas card using the new Wild Rose Studio Annabelle's Christmas "Posting Letters' Clear Stamp. I coloured this image in using promarkers and then used a Marianne Design Die to create the scalloped shape.


You can see the stamps here :)

New Christmas Collections by Kaiser Craft

I have been busy with the new Kaiser Craft Christmas collections we have recently added to the website ("Turtle Dove" and "Twig & Berry") and wanted to share 4 layouts I created from these collections. These papers were so nice to work with and the layouts came together really quickly. The Kaiser Craft 'Turtle Dove - Collectables) were used on all 4 layouts and I still had a lot left over so they do really go along way.
