Mr and Mrs

 Hello,

Today I am sharing a wedding card over on The Mad Scrapper Blog using beautiful papers and blooms available in the shop.

This card is a 6x8 and I have placed it in a box to protect the flowers.

I started by choosing my papers to match the brides colours pale pink and cream.

 I love the Tea and Tranquillity paper collection so I pulled out a couple along with a pale pink solid.

I started by adding the floral after distressing the edges. I used a sentiment from my stash inking with clear embossing ink and adding green powder on top. The smaller secondary sentiment is just inked in green. I used nesting heart dies to cut it out.

I knew I wanted to stitch on the card and add some vintage deep lace so I  backstitched around the pink script paper and added it to a slim cream mat. Using foam strips I attached it to the card base. Then I added the lace with hot glue, then the heart on top.

I pulled out a selection of flowers (list below) and arranged them around the left side along with some muslin and pink lace flowers. To finish off I added some tiny clear dew drops.

The box was white inside so I decided to lay a piece of darker pink which helps because the card is cream.

Here you can see I added some cream and pale pink ribbon the the box lid as well as a small piece of the lace topping off with a little bow and some tiny flowers.

Thanks for stopping by today I hope I have inspired you to use your stash to make cards with too. I used new sheets for this card but of course we all have half sheets tucked away for such an opportunity. If you need paper or embellishments for a project pop in to see Janine or do as I do and go to The Mad Scrapper  and look at your leisure. Janine has the store set out in brands or products for ease.

My Family

 Hello,

Today I am sharing a layout for The Mad Scrapper Blog and I am using the final photograph my friend gave me to make her some pages of a recent photo shoot gift she received for her birthday.

As the theme was blue and white I decided to use my last sheet of Boho Soul paper along with flowers from the shop and this Pink Fresh Studio Be Fearless collection which Janine did sell a little while back, maybe you have some of these too. 

I started as always by gathering products I thought I'd use. I did after I took these photos decide to use a chicken wire chipboard from Dusty Attic 

I decided to colour the chipboard using blue acrylic paint but after it dried I thought it looked a bit out on its own so I added dabs of gold paint in places. I also grabbed a couple of stash bits and painted them too. As the title is a gold foil script I decided to mount the photo on some gold.

The stamp set I embossed using gold so everything worked together. When you emboss the image it sure helps with the stencils slotting in to place easily. Here you can see how I added some to the cluster along with paper flowers and leaves. The sub sentiment is from another stamp set which I embossed in gold too.

This next photo shows the bottom cluster made up in the same way as the one above. I add my flowers using hot glue and my photo has foam strips under to balance it with the chipboard.

To finish off I added some pearls and gold pearls in different sizes. One thing I didn't say before but you probably noticed I trimmed the paper to 11 inches one side I tore and inked with gold then tucked the opposite side of the manufacturer strip before adding it to a mint cardstock which I gutted and used some for the first mat on the photo.

Thanks for stopping by again, I hope I have inspired you to pull out one of those precious sheets you are keeping for that one photo. If you have used all yours up then pop in to see Janine in store or as I do go to The Mad Scrapper  and look while enjoying a cuppa. Janine has fresh stock coming in every week so there is bound to be something to catch you eye.

Sue.

Oh Happy Days

 Hi,

Today you find me sharing over at The Mad Scrapper Blog this vacation layout.    I'm using beautiful papers and cut outs from Uniquely Creative from their Oh So Lovely Collection. This collection includes sheets which have cut outs printed on one side the other is patterned and I have cut out the two frames from one of these.

I started with tangerine from the coordinating cardstock pack (these packs a must have, they afford you so much more scope)  then I trimmed down the gingham to 111/2 distressed the edges and added it to it. The central paper I first fussy cut the top floral swag away and trimmed the rest using postal edge scissors to 9  inches. I readded it using foam strips.

A closer look here as well as the other 3 cut outs I placed down with a piece of card under. I had already decided where the frames would go.

Here is a closer look at one fussy cut frame with extra flowers and a butterfly added.

And here is the other frame with the title which I added foam tape under for dimension another butterfly and some tiny flowers finish off the layout.

Thanks for stopping by today, do go check out the shop if you can if not then do as I do and grab a coffee and visit The Mad Scrapper
