Heart canvas for Scrapbook Fantasies

Anyway here’s the first project using the gorgeous Boho Beauty range by Scrapbook Fantasies 

Also make sure to check out the fun projects that the rest of the Design Team over at the Facebook group - Scrapbook Fantasies Creative Family

The family also also share lots of great ideas and very fun and creative videos so make sure to check them out

This is a canvas I created using the Boho Beauty Range

I started by using Patterned Paper No. 1 for the background

I had fussy cut the flowers and stems from Patterned Paper No. 6 and had the pale green left over so I used that as my contrast paper where I will place my photo (I just need to print it) 

I also cut down some white for my photo to have a thin border around it

And added one of the strings across the top from Patterned Paper No. 5 

I added some foam dots to the back of one of the Colour-Cuts Bouquets & Words flower bunches and placed it in the corner 

I added my favourite- a flair this Princess Flair matches perfect with the Boho Beauty range 

And I do love Acrylic Embellies they fit anywhere 

These are the Clear Hearts 2

I used some of the words from  the Colour-Cuts Bouquets & Words pack 

They are so dainty and fit so nicely anywhere 

You don’t always need a big title sometimes a few little words can work too

I used the wooden Heart to trace onto Patterned Paper No. 1 then added some stems underneath 

The wooden Heart then got painted gold and glued down so I could glue down the floral heart after adding the foam dots to it 

I used some of the strings from Patterned Paper No. 5  

Then used another Colour-Cuts Bouquets & Words floral bunch to the side of the heart

Memories for Scrapbook Fantasies

Hello everyone

I’ve had a hectic few months sorry for the gap in posts we’ve had so much happening which is too much to go into now 

I hope you all have a very happy and safe new year xx

Anyway here’s the first project using the gorgeous Boho Beauty range by Scrapbook Fantasies 

Also make sure to check out the fun projects that the rest of the Design Team over at the Facebook group - Scrapbook Fantasies Creative Family

I stared off using Patterned paper No. 2 as the base

I had scraps from another project 

So I cut them to the size I wanted 

I used both sides of Patterned paper No. 1

Then added a piece of white cardstock where I’ll put the I used some gold wax over the Memories from the chippie-cut  Magical Memories Words and added it to the bottom corner 

 I fussy cut the Dream catcher from the Dream Builder Fussy Cut Additions sheet

then added some paper clay embellishments I had in my stash

Thanks for visiting and I hope you visit again soon x

 On todays blog I’ve got a page I created using the Nautical Dreams Collection from Scrapbook Fantasies 

It’s such a great collection with such a fabulous variety of papers that work for any style of layout or project 

Make sure to check out the range from the papers to the colour cuts and printed vellum 

I used 

Paper No. 2

Paper No. 5

Paper No. 6

Boutiques Colour Cuts 

Rice Collage Paper

Colour Word Sheet

I started off by tearing pieces of the papers in random shapes and sizes and taping them together to make a photo mat 

Also using a piece of the green trees from Paper No. 5 that I had leftover from another project (see never throw out the scraps)

I also used cardboard underneath to raise the photo and mat up for height

Once I knew the size of the mat I used some crackle paste to make a border around the outside for some contrast against the mat 

I tried to use some glue through a stencil but it didn’t quite work how I wanted - the pattern couldn’t be seen properly so I just added more so the gold leaf would stick to it randomly for some contrast

Once that was dry I used some water colour paints in blue and green so the crackle would show up better 

 

Then after fussy cutting a few pieces and choosing a few colour cuts I started to embellish the page

Thank you for visiting I hope you’ll come back soon xx

Gecko Galz christmas

 These are my last projects for Gecko Galz Scrapbooking Challenge Blog for this year

Make sure you enter the challenges you have a chance to win a great prize from the Etsy store

Don’t forget we also have a Facebook Challenge page so check that out as well this has different challenges to enter 

The background for my tag I used the Winter Weather ATC sheet and cut small strips from a few of them 

Stuck them on a piece of cardstock

Cut them into a tag shape

And there you go

I have  and added a bling sliver ribbon bow

I had an acrylic deer head I made from a mould That every time I try with clay it never works out but with acrylic it’s perfect lol 

A mini canvas with an image from the Nouveau Winter collection

I started by adding some texture paste with a diamond stencil 

Then added some floral paperclay corner pieces 

Then I painted the whole canvas with black gesso 

After it all dried I went over everything with some different coloured waxes - starting with white, then some silver and ending on an orange/gold one to pick up the gold in the image

I added the image to some cardboard to raise it up a bit

And an acrylic window I made from one of my moulds

I had a tiny wreath charm so I added it to the window to add a little Christmas to the canvas without overwhelming it 

Three Christmas cards made with the Christmas Misses images two with not so traditional Christmas colours

I took some white cardstock and swiped some pale pink paint across it with a palette knife

Then added the grey ribbon (it had wire in it which I took out)

I added a couple of little flowers and a small acrylic bauble charm I made

Added the image which has a touch of pink to it which is why I chose it 

I like non traditional colours at Christmas 

I don’t use a lot of green in my crafting but Christmas just calls for it doesn’t it hahaha

Anyway with this card I used some bling paste which has a lovely sparkle to it which unfortunately you can’t see in photos

I had this pretty gold sparkly ribbon so I added a strip down the side and chose two images 

They reminded me of a mother and daughter who were out shopping hahaha

A little Christmas tree charm with some jute and it’s done

This card was a background I was playing with and didn’t start off its life as a Christmas card hehehe but as I said I like non traditional Christmas colours and this image is black and white so you can do anything with it

I have some gold texture paste with one of my favourite stencils which I used over the top of the water coloured background 

I found a chipboard Holly piece which I was given in our KK last year 

I used green wax over that which I lightly wiped over it so it only just coloured it

I used some cardboard to raise the image and it’s done

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and safe and very Happy New Year xx

21st Birthday Album

its getting to that busy time of the year where all the Christmas parties are happening well for me we are busy with birthdays as well

The second half of the year seems to have a birthday a week but this one is a special one a friends daughter (her youngest of 5) is turning 21 I can’t believe it to be honest she was a baby when I met the family and to watch this gorgeous girl grow into a beautiful young lady is so awesome 

I’ve had the privilege to make most of the sign in books for their special birthdays

Here’s the birthday girls album and the process and of course all the fantastic glues from Helmar that I used in the process
Make sure to take a look at the rest of the blog for some great inspiration from the rest of the Design Team

First off I started by removing the spiral book connector thingy (can’t think of its correct name)

It had a ribbon holding it together but I wanted to turn it on its side and use a different ribbon

i used the Fabric Glue to adhere the ribbon to the back of the book

I then printed on the paper a picture that relates to the birthday girl no one else will get the picture but she knows what it is

I used the Acid Free Glue to adhere the cardstock to the front of the book 

I spread it out with a spatula so it was smooth and made sure I got every edge and corner 

After I used some clear paste through a stencil to add some texture
I painted the letters with some gold paint then rubbed it over with some wax 
Once the paste dried I rubbed the stenciled area lightly over with some wax to show up the pattern 
I used the Tacky Craft Glue to stick the cardboard letters and the little flowers down

Then I added some metal and acrylic embellishments, knowing how great the Tiger Grip is I know my bits won’t come off 

I coloured some of the flowers with some of the gold paint and wax to match the rest of the book 

Then added some Liquid Pearls to the centre of the flowers for an added touch to finish it all off

Fingers crossed the birthday girl loves it

Happy 21st Birthday Tamsyn xxx

 

November Post

 This project for Gecko Galz Scrapbooking Challenge Blog

They also have a Facebook Challenge page so don't forget to check that out as well this has different challenges to enter 

Make sure you enter the challenges you have a chance to win a great prize from the Etsy store

My first project is just a little bit Christmas 

Just getting warmed up 

I added texture with some Bling Colour Paste from Colour Blast its perfect to pick up the colour in the image

I added a little Christmas tree which I embellished with pearls and a snowflake bling to bring in the Christmas element

Of course, I added my favourite embellishment - paperclay, some ovals that always come up great with any treatment you give them and the Criss cross strip that makes a great border

This one is a bit more Christmas with a few resin embellishments and some jingle bells

I used a wire hoop and some cream ribbon to wrap around it as the background which gave me something to use to put the image and embellishments on 

The resin embellishments I made with a bauble mould then used a wax over the top it doesn't quite cover the resin fully but i like the look of the finish so you can still see that it's got a clear look to them 

A paperclay frame and key done in the same colour wax to pick up the orange in the image and a small metal tree embellishment

I added some string to the baubles and tied them to the hoop

The little circle embellishment I filled with some bling and topped it with a metal bow

The flowers were a different colour so i used the wax to change them to match the rest of the embellishments

This image is from the same collection - Christmas Dreamland 

I chose this one because of the Owl of course

I used some rust ribbon across the bottom of the image with a resin wreath 

I followed the image greenery with leaves and some flowers and of course some metal owls 

A little resin frame with a butterfly

I used a stencil with some texture paste and some rust paint  

More flowers and another butterfly which I picked up from the image

I also used some coloured resin dots scattered around the canvas

Thank you for visiting and I hope youll come back soon xx
