Best Wishes

Hello,

Today I'd like to share a card I have made using a couple of older stamp, stencil and die sets from the wonderful Pinkfresh Studio:. Both sets have come from  The Mad Scrapper  but sadly no longer in stock but maybe you already have yours.

This next photo shows the sets Best Wishes and Be Fearless along with 2 sets I coloured in with nice bright colours. If you have never used Pinkfresh before their stamps cut out in one pass which I believe to be a game changer. I only did one set of the Be Fearless because I was after leaves and the flower is similar to one from the Best Wishes set so they mixed well.

Here you can see the colours I used to create the card. I used the lightest shade from each through the stencil on the mat under the flowers.

Here you can see a couple of shots of the card front showing the depth given by adding the stitched angled frames which I added foam under for lift. I did a little fussy cutting to make the frames fit together flat. 

To finish off I added the sentiment from the Best Wishes set which I stacked up as well as a birthday greeting from another. I added some gems in fuchsia and dark orange 

Thanks for stopping by today, I am joining in with the July 2025 Challenge – Pinkfresh Studio so wish me luck.

Sue.

 Hello,

Today I am up on The Mad Scrapper Blog with this layout of my son. He loved watching Winnie The Pooh when he was little and so I thought I'd do something with the new papers in at the shop. As my son is now 31 I knew I didn't want the collection so I chose 2 papers and added ephemera from another collection from the shop.

First off I took the paper with the blocks on and fussy cut them out and mounted it on black. Then I trimmed it down and added it on to a green plaid from The Little Dreamer collection and then added that to the blue cross paper. To be honest I did gut out the right side of the green because it wouldn't be seen and I thought I may need it later on.

I used the Tim Holtz Broken China and Scattered Straw through his Ray's stencil to the top of the page. I matted my photo on to 2 papers from the Our Baby Boy 6x6 paper pad and then on to the green plaid placing it down allowing the ray's to shine from below the picture 

Here you can just make out the building blocks raised up from the paper I did think about slightly off setting it but it didn't look right. The strip sentiment is cut from a ephemera tag. The stars I cut from a Cocoa Vanilla Studio paper.

This little tag is from Boho Baby journal sheet. He had a full head of white blond hair and once cut they never returned and his nana never forgave me!!

Here you can see the ray and how the yellow when touched by the blue gave a lovely soft green. You can also see the mats under the photo. The very sweet is from the ephemera and the rainbow has been cut from another tag in the 6x6 paper pack.

This adorable tag is from the ephemera pack and I added those floss pieces from my stash (they are as old as he is!

To finish off I added some puffy hearts which I love and more fussy cut stars. Pop in to see Janine in store or go to The Mad Scrapper  to see the full Winnie the Pooh collection along with other gorgeous small people papers.

Tasty Fun

 Hello,

Today I'm up on The Mad Scrapper Blog with a fun layout of my sisters granddaughter spending time at their house in the school holidays. They always do something fun such as cake making, going on a walk in the woods or as below making pizza for tea.

I started by taking my paper and trimming it down to 11inches I distressed the edges and then tucked a blossom strip to the left side and a grey strip to the right. I gathered journal cards from Carta Bella and some bits and pieces from Cocoa Vanilla and I was ready to create.

I matted the main photo on black along with some of the ephemera. The two journal cards I matted on to the grey card. I made a little cluster around the photo.

I took the 3rd journal card and cut around the image and mounted it on to another leaving a tiny light green edge. I made my small photos into a strip like you get out of a machine by putting them onto a blossom strip of card and added it to the layout. I added my journaling to the bottom right of the page.

To finish off I added flat sequins and some butterfly's 

Thanks for stopping by again today I hope I have inspired you to try something different with your photographs allowing you to add more. Drop in to see Janine instore or go to The Mad Scrapper  and look at your pleasure.
