Hi There</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I have a layout to share using the last of my Ciao Bella Sound of Autumn papers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I
have had an absolute blast with this page and I have let loose with
everything grungy, inky, sparkly and sticky! And to top it all the
photos are not even loved ones of my family or friends....oh no....it's
just a lowly little snail who was minding his own business in our back
garden!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I only used 2 sheets of paper for this page, for the backing sheet I used the reverse side of a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/ciao-bella/ciao-bella-the-sound-of-autumn-all-at-once-summer-collaspsed-into-fall" target="_blank">'All at Once Summer Collapsed into Fall'</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And for the front page I used the reverse side of a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/ciao-bella/ciao-bella-the-sound-of-autumn-the-sound-of-autumn" target="_blank">'The Sound Of Autumn' </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I
cut a random and uneven wavy edge all the way round the outside edge of
the sheet and used a Distress Stain in Brushed Corduroy that I dragged
all around the edges of the paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP99rSL91ueRzeu_CBXZJhqcDTubohuUcllW20a_cJyGiHGO_-dfJzq1dCUAwXY2sNg0zEQCgn8E9tIbz2iMZJ37Ag_mWdVEqki42WtFAvZsOSt-BDm-9E4nhgkWNm5EbzyCYw5jaqJdmd/s1600/DSCF0085.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP99rSL91ueRzeu_CBXZJhqcDTubohuUcllW20a_cJyGiHGO_-dfJzq1dCUAwXY2sNg0zEQCgn8E9tIbz2iMZJ37Ag_mWdVEqki42WtFAvZsOSt-BDm-9E4nhgkWNm5EbzyCYw5jaqJdmd/s400/DSCF0085.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also used it to dab large random splats across the page and then let loose with various <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/tattered-angels-glimmer-mists" target="_blank">Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists</a> using Olive Vine, Coffee Shop and Walnut Gold. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I sprayed them randomly and also into small puddles, then I tipped the paper to create drizzles down the page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
In my DT kit there was a <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/creative-expressions-stencils" target="_blank">Creative Expressions Mini Stencil</a>,
it was the Shabby Harlequin design and I used this combined with some
Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam ink in Expresso Bean that I dabbed through
the stencil using some sponge.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I also sprinkled lots of Gold UTEE in patches and heated from underneath to melt it.<br />
After
matting the 2 photos on cardstock I used gilding flakes around the edge
and also in patches on some blossoms to make them co-ordinate.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I cut the title using the Big Shot and some Sizzlets in mixed fonts and then after sticking them on the layout I decided to use <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/ranger-stickles" target="_blank">Ranger Stickles</a> in Unicorn over the top of them.....it reminded me of the sparkly snail trails you see after they have climbed a wall!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I added a metal buckle, some lace and a small wooden pennant.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTXEHkNZkq0NEkwfBaURTH6C8owDYrH3EDx9IFc-w9-bzNqssF31HXKn7o-HYD63gfyegEug4jWX7Th6pvMdVqVqGFguCm1LZaCM6vnd8PAMd8WoMxuBPS3P095CHYHzfotaUW3PfUULrO/s1600/DSCF0083.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTXEHkNZkq0NEkwfBaURTH6C8owDYrH3EDx9IFc-w9-bzNqssF31HXKn7o-HYD63gfyegEug4jWX7Th6pvMdVqVqGFguCm1LZaCM6vnd8PAMd8WoMxuBPS3P095CHYHzfotaUW3PfUULrO/s400/DSCF0083.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
And finished the whole page with a generous splattering of crystals, Dew Drops and blobs of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/distress-stickles" target="_blank">Distress Stickles </a>and <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/ranger-liquid-pearls" target="_blank">Liquid Pearls</a> in various colours.<br />

I
have really enjoyed getting messy with this page....and even though the
photos were not of anything special or meaningful I very much
appreciated the creative process involved. Sometimes its just nice to
let loose a little.<br />
<br />
Wishing you a super scrappy happy weekend!<br />
Warmest wishes<br />

I love the crispness in
the air, changing of the leaves , the earthy scent and the gorgeous
rich colours everywhere All the best of this is depicted in this paper
collection and more besides..<br />
<br />
I had this large photo of
my youngest daughter taken back in 2014 at our local Pumpkin Patch and I
am so glad I hadn't scrapped it before now. These papers are perfect
for it and literally do all the work for you.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I based the layout on a sheet of '<a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/ciao-bella/ciao-bella-the-sound-of-autumn-the-sound-of-autumn" target="_blank">The Sound of Autumn</a>' and I gutted the calendar sheets from the centre of the page to use as an embellishment on the photo. I used <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/creative-expressions-gilding-flakes" target="_blank">gilding flakes</a>
all around the edge of the photo to create a soft metallic mat and i
fussy cut around the cartwheel and popped the photo in slightly behind
it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4rdMZJkXI6L7_C-SzKPzh5079503HzQukpU7F39gowDZTqGzVa0z0N0qsbq67pRwMUhIhWoVmWDwWX21cSM6KhMvc0lhlepXPJjq-XdVPnz1qu5dJwqylML0UvSBuivVIYLwtGdiJnuFo/s1600/DSCF0073.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4rdMZJkXI6L7_C-SzKPzh5079503HzQukpU7F39gowDZTqGzVa0z0N0qsbq67pRwMUhIhWoVmWDwWX21cSM6KhMvc0lhlepXPJjq-XdVPnz1qu5dJwqylML0UvSBuivVIYLwtGdiJnuFo/s400/DSCF0073.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I
added some cotton lace trim under the bottom of the photo and then
layered the calendar pages and some fabric leaves together and held them
in place with some antique copper brads and a<a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/clips" target="_blank"> pumpkin clip</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I added a few wooden buttons, cork washer, paper flowers and some garden twine.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjETkyx00rk3X_LqU6uy7qkJhncZBBGhasBC_LrMzv0143nlFdKjuZNr97rTCsQ_2Mz3YDNEo4zsjXAHhNXtytZplVI_hzKeE6qIBdeGKKua3_0QfenIZIsIQGzK52EdmnIrln663mi84vz/s1600/DSCF0077.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjETkyx00rk3X_LqU6uy7qkJhncZBBGhasBC_LrMzv0143nlFdKjuZNr97rTCsQ_2Mz3YDNEo4zsjXAHhNXtytZplVI_hzKeE6qIBdeGKKua3_0QfenIZIsIQGzK52EdmnIrln663mi84vz/s400/DSCF0077.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
and
I cut out the copper book plate, added brads and raised it on foam pads
to add dimension and make it look a little more real.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgcnukp3xANl6YZ5WK350dVWaykhCvgS7whF5a09WkGdP1fCeQ6TA_Jr2Jqzekn_Vnko7Wpw-f0Fi-m3DPeFR3naaISasrIQbiYsyY-wssW-qLmv0kbYX4L72A5Zxm4cbruYHwBicMTYZA/s1600/DSCF0079.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgcnukp3xANl6YZ5WK350dVWaykhCvgS7whF5a09WkGdP1fCeQ6TA_Jr2Jqzekn_Vnko7Wpw-f0Fi-m3DPeFR3naaISasrIQbiYsyY-wssW-qLmv0kbYX4L72A5Zxm4cbruYHwBicMTYZA/s400/DSCF0079.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
The book plate and toadstools were cut from a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/ciao-bella/ciao-bella-the-sound-of-autumn-autumn-cards" target="_blank">Autumn Cards</a><br />
I
cut a long slice along near the base of the layout, popped a long scrap
of paper behind it and gently rolled back the edges to create a long
torn section and then I used garden twine to over sew along the section
just to finish the page off.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Just for a change I have made a couple of cards to share with you.
I have used the stunning new collection from <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/ciao-bella-aug" target="_blank">Ciao Bella, The Sound of Autumn </a><br />
<br />
Autumn
is my most favourite season of all. I absolutely LOVE the colours and
how they change, the gorgeous scent in the air and the golden haze of
the sun and how it lights the trees.<br />
I was delighted to see this
gorgeous new selection of papers and as I wanted to make a birthday card
for a lovely friend who also loves Autumn, I just knew that this was
the perfect opportunity.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzggYLnww_8S6aj2Tc2AxSlRHWPIHSXzLgaE1RJwfDTEAWyJUGHAlqVMCPRhVOSdQXZwu6NFLvhEER_5EhliQwDgKOqWXh7T4OtKSJ_lz2-Fp9lLP4zI1v0kPxUGurX7NR_CggVRst3hOs/s1600/20190919_044231.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1419" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzggYLnww_8S6aj2Tc2AxSlRHWPIHSXzLgaE1RJwfDTEAWyJUGHAlqVMCPRhVOSdQXZwu6NFLvhEER_5EhliQwDgKOqWXh7T4OtKSJ_lz2-Fp9lLP4zI1v0kPxUGurX7NR_CggVRst3hOs/s400/20190919_044231.jpg" width="353" /></a></div>
<br />
Both cards were based on<a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/craft-uk/craft-uk-card-blanks-and-envelopes-6x6-ivory-50-" target="_blank"> ivory coloured 6" x 6" card blanks</a> and each element was matted on gold mirri board ( something I very rarely use, however I felt it worked well with these papers)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCjeA4d3oq51lKE4moYmUJPgyl2ePUQCBh0YYyVrqytu0ujEUsIdfsKiO_AM9wPop69QffaQBMO9FWh09FxPZkhq0UqunGqWCEsf_GUW0UaIlJg0mFyPmYskGI7BzqOUNkzP8LI1knNTu8/s1600/20190910_154957.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="778" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCjeA4d3oq51lKE4moYmUJPgyl2ePUQCBh0YYyVrqytu0ujEUsIdfsKiO_AM9wPop69QffaQBMO9FWh09FxPZkhq0UqunGqWCEsf_GUW0UaIlJg0mFyPmYskGI7BzqOUNkzP8LI1knNTu8/s400/20190910_154957.jpg" width="193" /></a></div>
<br />
I used some <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/stampendous-frantage-embossing-enamel/stampendous-frantage-embossing-enamel-aged-gold" target="_blank">Stampendous Frantage Embossing Enamel in Gold</a>
and lightly sprinkled some loose onto a couple of areas. I then heated
from underneath until the granules melted and turned to liquid gold ( it
takes longer than heating normally from above, however normally you
would use an embossing ink to hold the powder in place where as this is
loose and would instantly blow away)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi_uXrsJxZ_He5gvk83ffL9L6wEaTkYSRVr4Wev7XcKOfbMVl7F0vV_CKTxWVnZw80wUJFHKo_5ouPF2hL-rP4ddXut2Ubrwq8zO84F_6p1IIMfULg5Db2A_MLeKZjdZLiXOEHHz37nc9J/s1600/20190910_154936.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="778" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi_uXrsJxZ_He5gvk83ffL9L6wEaTkYSRVr4Wev7XcKOfbMVl7F0vV_CKTxWVnZw80wUJFHKo_5ouPF2hL-rP4ddXut2Ubrwq8zO84F_6p1IIMfULg5Db2A_MLeKZjdZLiXOEHHz37nc9J/s400/20190910_154936.jpg" width="193" /></a></div>
<br />
It
gives a nice random effect this way and just leaves little scattered
sprinkles. I chose some different panels and elements from different
sheets, mounted them on mirri board and layered them up. Some were
raised on foam pads to create dimension and I added a gold glittery
doily in between the layers.<br />
The card was finished by adding some gems and bow made from raw taffeta.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The
2nd card was made the same way just with different elements, ribbons
and trim. And again I used the same technique with the Stampendous
Frantage Embossing Enamel except this time I used <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/stampendous-frantage-embossing-enamel/stampendous-frantage-embossing-enamel-aged-silver" target="_blank">Silver</a> aswell as the Gold<br />
<br />

So I shall start with this one.....<br />
Here is my 2nd offering created with the Antiquities Collection from Kaisercraft.<br />
I used the left over bits and pieces of the sheets from the first page I made ( <a href="http://scrappaperscissors.blogspot.com/2019/08/antiquities-from-kaisercraft.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">HERE</span></a>) and added a sheet of White Canvas Bazzill cardstock<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We
often go for visit to our local reservoir, its such a lovey place and
the walk round the outside is lovely. I took these photos on our last
walk there and thought they would work well with these papers.<br />
The page was based on a sheet of White Canvas Bazzill that I gently swiped with an old brown ink-pad around the edges.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKuL4iwa0B8oLiWhEB_F7pefEAi_MBlLtO-cfJBPTngGmSRbTMo9Q6QLixz3XCI3Olmq38mT09eoviCcDuCuw33-ceHcjwvjCUHhihtskD_-PM6QSEYL3o7FbkFqh9sAFQGgrH_rfMerUK/s1600/67727575_450922935463814_7772377336594300928_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="464" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKuL4iwa0B8oLiWhEB_F7pefEAi_MBlLtO-cfJBPTngGmSRbTMo9Q6QLixz3XCI3Olmq38mT09eoviCcDuCuw33-ceHcjwvjCUHhihtskD_-PM6QSEYL3o7FbkFqh9sAFQGgrH_rfMerUK/s400/67727575_450922935463814_7772377336594300928_n.jpg" width="192" /></a></div>
<br />
I
used scraps from a few sheets ( making the most of using the patterns
on both sides) and just layered them between each other around the page.<br />
I used <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/antiquities/kaisercraft-antiquities-heirloom" target="_blank">Heirloom </a>, <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/antiquities/kaisercraft-antiquities-beloved" target="_blank">Beloved</a>, and <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/antiquities/kaisercraft-antiquities-beloved-copy" target="_blank">One of a kind</a><br />

<br />
I raised some bits up on foam pads, just to give a little dimension and fussy cut a few flowers to add little clusters.<br />
<br />
<br />

Hi there</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought I should really start catching up on my layouts I have been making for the Papermaze DT over the last few months.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a layout today using the <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/antiquities-" target="_blank">Antiquities collection</a>
from Kaisercraft. A wonderful vintage collection combining distressed
ochre and browns along with cool shades of blue and grey with a mix of
floral, damask and paisley prints....just lovely.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
I
thought it would work well with some photos i took back in May at a
motor show we attended on the South Coast, not far from where we live.
And with the colours in the photo I simply had to use this gorgeous
american car that we were admiring.<br />
<br />
<br />
The
layout was based on a sheet of Bazzill Mexico City from my stash and I
also matted the photos on the same colour card. I trimmed 2 cms from the
top and one side of a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/antiquities/kaisercraft-antiquities-limited-edition" target="_blank"> Limited Edition</a>
and on the top left and bottom right hand corner I cut a small diagonal
slice which I peeled back and stuck down, popping a small gem on each
side.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOW0PBj7gpISwYATi79oJ9FZDBM7J4a9PH8jFAO8kiZwB-R1zmncTQoIOQzUUFGHzqM5LyDV-H4VZDOxzf2sATwA55btCwU9eE7URlUvEwGid0uHeVyHsRvuInypo5lzAfF6D5wy4r3Eha/s1600/67954239_401949683782883_7288901084356018176_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="464" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOW0PBj7gpISwYATi79oJ9FZDBM7J4a9PH8jFAO8kiZwB-R1zmncTQoIOQzUUFGHzqM5LyDV-H4VZDOxzf2sATwA55btCwU9eE7URlUvEwGid0uHeVyHsRvuInypo5lzAfF6D5wy4r3Eha/s400/67954239_401949683782883_7288901084356018176_n.jpg" width="192" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The gorgeous sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/antiquities/kaisercraft-antiquities-heirloom" target="_blank">Heirloom </a><br />
is
like a blanket of quilted fabrics. I cut a block of 4 out carefully and
then following the outer and inner white lines I scored and folded them
gently, creating some dimension around the edges. I also cut a couple
of single circles out and repeated the same process.<br />
<br />
<br />

When
I looked closely at the quilted sections I noticed that I could also
cut out some propeller shaped sections too....so I cut a few and used a
couple up high on the page and placed one in the centre of the 4 block.<br />

One of the sheets , <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/antiquities/kaisercraft-antiquities-beloved" target="_blank">Beloved</a>
, is full of quotes and sayings so I chose a few odd bits and used them
around the page. I raised some on foam pads and also made some
journalling strips too.<br />
The page was finished off with various
crystals in Ochre, Denim, Bright Blue and Coffee flat backed crystals
popped about in various places.<br />
<br />
This really is a very versatile collection and could be used for any theme really.<br />

Happy Crafting xx<br />

I have been working with the gorgeous <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/morning-dew-" target="_blank">Morning Dew Collection</a> from Kaisercraft, full of calm and relaxing colours, natural elements and general good feeling.<br />
<br />
We
recently spent a few lovely days away with some very dear friends of
ours and had some great days out walking and exploring local beauty
spots and just enjoying each others company. One of the sheets in the
collection, <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/morning-dew/kaisercraft-morning-dew-refresh" target="_blank">Refresh</a>
, has some really lovely quote panels on it about friendship....so I
knew it would be perfect to use to scrap a memory of our time away
together.<br />
<br />
I based the layout on a sheet of<a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/morning-dew/kaisercraft-morning-dew-rejuvenate" target="_blank"> Rejuvenate</a> that I cut down to 11" x 11" and then placed it onto the reverse side of a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/morning-dew/kaisercraft-morning-dew-serene" target="_blank">Serene</a> this created a lovely polka dot frame around the edge.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Using some bubble wrap I sponged on some white acrylic paint and stamped it onto the background and I also used some <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/49-and-market/49-and-market-clear-stamps-gabis-line-stitch" target="_blank">49 and Market Gabi's Line Stitch </a>stamps with paint around the edges.<br />
When the paint had dried I picked at the entire edge of the inner layer to distress the edges and create some texture.<br />

<br />
<br />
I gently sponged white paint onto the edges of my photo and then matted it on a piece of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/morning-dew/kaisercraft-morning-dew-exhale" target="_blank">Exhale</a> before fussy cutting some clusters of flowers from a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/morning-dew/kaisercraft-morning-dew-serene" target="_blank">Serene </a><br />

<br />
Using
Stickles in Unicorn I added a few highlights to the flower centres for a
little sparkle and also onto the wings of a couple of butterflies that I
cut from the sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/morning-dew/kaisercraft-morning-dew-refresh" target="_blank">Refresh</a><br />
I added some tiny word stickers from <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/pretty-little-studio-stickers" target="_blank">Pretty Little Studio</a><br />
<br />

<br />
I
also cut some quotes and panels from the Refresh sheet and sponged the
edges gently with paint before adding them to the page.<br />
In my
stash I found some metallic craft sand in colours that complimented the
papers, so added this in a few areas for some more texture on the page.<br />
<br />

Some <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/bling" target="_blank">crystal swirls</a> were added beneath the butterflies to leave pretty, sparkly trails and to just finish the page off.</div>

I
have really enjoyed creating this page , not only was it in my
favourite colourway, but it also has such lovely sayings, patterns and
elements in it. You can find the entire range <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/morning-dew-" target="_blank">here</a> .<br />

<br />
Today I have a vibrant layout to share using the VERY colourful <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/vicki-boutin-color-kaleidoscope" target="_blank">Kaleidoscope papers brought to you by American Crafts and designed by Vicki Boutin.</a><br />
<br />
Our
youngest daughter went through a phase of having the most beautiful,
vibrant colours in her hair whilst she was in 6th Form at College (
infact she would STILL have her hair like it if her job allowed!) and I
thought these papers were brilliant for this photo of us together
playing with Snapchat filters and sporting her glorious magenta locks.<br />
<br />

<br />
I
based the page on a sheet of White Canvas Bazzill cardstock that I had
cut down to 11.25" x 11.25" and then stuck it in the centre of a sheet
of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/vicki-boutin-color-kaleidoscope/american-crafts-vicki-boutin-color-kaleidoscope-kaleidoscope" target="_blank">Kaleidoscope</a>, this created a lovely colourful frame all around the edge in a rainbow of colours.<br />

There is a gorgeous sheet in the collection called <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/vicki-boutin-color-kaleidoscope/american-crafts-vicki-boutin-color-kaleidoscope-paper-hearts" target="_blank">Paper Hearts</a>,
its absolutely chock a block with a range of fabulous, bright hearts in
every colour. I cut out a rainbow selection, however, you could select a
smaller colourway instead if you wanted as there are lots of hearts in
each colour.<br />

After
gently pencilling a large heart shape onto the page and popping the
photo on, I stuck the cut out hearts all the way round in a graduation

The sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/vicki-boutin-color-kaleidoscope/american-crafts-vicki-boutin-color-kaleidoscope-beyond-words" target="_blank">Beyond Words </a>has
a good selection of panels, words and pictures on so I chose a few bits
to add to my layout and then finished it all off with some self
adhesive colourful, faceted dots from my stash..... I was originally
only planning a few odd ones here and there....but got a bit carried
away!<br />

<br />
I thought I should get up to date with my last few layouts I made for the DT blog over at Papermaze.<br />
<br />
I
umm'ed and ahhh'ed about what photo to use for this page,but eventually
settled on this one of us with our youngest daughter on her Christening
Day back in August 2000.<br />
<br />

<br />
Based on a sheet of Spring Botanic with <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/stamperia/stamperia-spring-botanic-with-english-roses" target="_blank">English Roses</a>,
I trimmed 2cms off the top and the left hand side and then inked around
the edges with an old dark brown ink pad, just to define the edges.<br />
I then placed it onto a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/stamperia/stamperia-spring-botanic-herbarium" target="_blank">Herbarium</a>.
I also used a stencil with some script on it and gently sponged some
white acrylic through it to just add a little more texture to the
background.<br />
<br />

<br />
Using
a circle cutter I took my 7 x 5 photo and cut a circle with a 5"
diameter and framed it using some pretty trim that was in my DT kit. It
didn't quite fit all the way round so I added some large blossoms from
my stash to cover the gap.<br />

<br />
I used the leftover part of the sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/stamperia/stamperia-spring-botanic-with-yellow-alpine-poppy" target="_blank"> Yellow Alpine Poppy</a>
and cut out the poppies and the bird on a branch and added to the
bottom left and upper right of the page and a couple of the post card
panels behind the photo.<br />

and some chipboard word peices. I also picked a bottle of Stickles and
Liquid Pearls from my stash and added large dotted circles in various
places round the page.<br />

For this post I have worked with some more <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/stamperia-may/page/2" target="_blank">Stamperia</a>
papers, this time from the Voyages Fantastiques range. A beautiful
steampunk collection combining vintage aqua, creams and browns.<br />
I chose a photo taken back in 2006 of the four of us, we were actually taking an autumn walk on a local beach.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I based the layout on a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/stamperia/stamperia-voyages-fantastiques-wallpaper" target="_blank">Wallpaper </a><br />
and then took a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/stamperia/stamperia-voyages-fantastiques-air-balloon" target="_blank">Air Balloon </a>.
I tore the left hand side off at approx 5.5 inches and inked all around
the edges, then stuck it too the left hand side of the backing sheet.<br />
From the remainder of the sheet I cut out the balloons, wings and the adventure quote.<br />
<br />

I love using <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/cosmic-shimmer-mists" target="_blank">Cosmic Shimmer Sprays</a>
and I had a good old squirt all across the page, pooling the ink in
some areas and then letting them run down the page. When this dries it
gives a beautiful metallic shine.<br />

cut various bits and pieces of paper and inked the edges, then layered
them behind the photo. Some cream cotton lace was laid across the bottom
of the photo.</div>

I had a rummage through my collection of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/ranger-stickles" target="_blank">Stickles</a> and <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/ranger-liquid-pearls" target="_blank">Liquid Pearls</a>
and chose 3 colours, Dark Chocolate, Rose Gold and Platinum. Using a
selection of pots and lids of different sizes to work round I added dots
of each of the colours and created decorative circles in random places
about the page.<br />

In my DT kit I had a few bits and pieces of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/chipboard-embellishments" target="_blank">chipboard shapes</a>, so I picked some out and then sprayed and dabbed them with <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/cosmic-shimmer-mists" target="_blank">Cosmic Shimmer Mists</a> too as I felt that on this page they didn't really work staying plain.<br />

As you can see, by adding some colour to the chipboard really makes it co ordinate with the papers.<br />

<br />
<a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/stamperia" target="_blank">Stamperia</a>
produce a stunning range of papers, many of which are in stock in the
shop and would be great for scrapping various photos or creating
beautiful cards.....why not pop along and have a look and treat
yourself.<br />
<br />
Happy Crafting<br />

I have a new layout to share using some papers from the detailed <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/stamperia-may" target="_blank">Spring Botanic </a>range by Stamperia, featuring floral themes, garden insects and vintage ephemera.<br />

I
have been waiting a few years to scrap this photo of my gorgeous
niece, taken on a day that we went to visit some poppy fields on a day
out. The beautiful sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/stamperia/stamperia-spring-botanic-with-poppy-and-bird" target="_blank">Poppy and Bird</a>
paper was perfect for it, so I backed it onto a sheet of pale green
card stock and then inked gently round the entire edge with a gold and
then a coppery ink pad. I roughed up the edges of the paper to give a
distressed look.<br />
<br />
Although the sheet is really lovely I
wanted to change the look of it slightly so I part misted and then also
drizzled 2 different colors of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/cosmic-shimmer-mists" target="_blank">Cosmic Shimmer mist</a> , Tarnished Gold and Ancient Copper across and down the page.<br />

<br />
<br />
From the sheet of<a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/stamperia/stamperia-spring-botanic-with-yellow-alpine-poppy" target="_blank"> Yellow Alpine Poppy</a>
I cut a few of the panels out, inked the edges and popped them partly
behind the photo ( which I had matted in the same pale green card).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I had some <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/search?q=dusty+attic+word&p_from=0.00&p_to=10000&sort=0" target="_blank">Dusty Attic Wordplay</a>
chipboard pieces to work with, so chose a suitable word and inked it up
gently and added to the right hand sight of the photo and did the same
with a tiny chipboard lock and key.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I also added some pearls, a metal filigree and a faceted flat back crystal from the <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/prima-marketing" target="_blank">Prima Say it in Crystals</a>
range before finishing the layout with a strip of cotton lace and a

I
wasn't actually sure what I was going to do for this post, so I hunted
around the house looking for inspiration. I found the wooden birdhouse
blank in my craft room that I have had for a few years and had not got
round to decorating, so I grabbed that and then also found the glass
candle stick sitting in a cupboard with some vases ( I never did like
that candle stick!!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I painted the candlestick with white acrylic paint, giving it 2 coats, allowing it to dry fully inbetween coats.<br />
Then,
using a pure bristle shaving brush I very gently swiped the candlestick
using some copper paint to create soft highlights and enhance the
shaping of the glass.<br />
<br />

<br />
The
copper captures the light beautifully, but also softens the starkness
of the white and gives it a slightly more vintage or shabby look.<br />

<br />
Using the scraps I had left of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/midnight-garden/prima-midnight-garden-old-map-foiled-" target="_blank">Old Map</a> and <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/midnight-garden/prima-midnight-garden-midnight-garden-foiled-" target="_blank">Midnight Garden</a> sheets, I covered the roof and the house completely and then gently soft brushed copper paint around all of the edges.<br />
The
inside of the house was stuffed with natural coloured sisal fibre and I
used some vanilla coloured cotton lace trim and some pearly trim to
decorate the edges of the birdhouse around the base rim.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added some tulle trim near the top of the candlestick and then finished off the whole thing by adding a mix of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/blossoms" target="_blank">Prima and Petaloo blossoms</a> and leaves, some of which I had softly swiped with copper paint. </div>

I
am actually really happy with how this came out in the end and hope
that maybe it might inspire you a little to use up your scraps and alter
something maybe that you didn't like and give it a new lease of life!!</div>

Hello again<br />
<br />
I have a quick little post
to share of an altered frame that I have made to hang in our home. I
have used some more of the <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/midnight-garden" target="_blank">Prima Midnight Garden</a> range, which is very elegant and lush.<br />

I
painted the whole frame with 2 layers of white chalk paint and when it
had dried I gently sanded it back in places with a fine sandpaper to
expose the black and give it a *shabby* look. </div>

<br />
On the top have I removed the photo aperture mount strip and popped in the photo with a panel of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/midnight-garden/prima-midnight-garden-rose-receipts-foiled-" target="_blank">Rose Receipts</a> on either side of the photo to fill the rest of the frame.<br />

<br />
In the bottom section of the frame I used a wide strip of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/midnight-garden/prima-midnight-garden-midnight-garden-foiled-" target="_blank">Midnight Garden</a><br />
This has some really pretty copper metallic detailing on it in amongst the flowers.<br />

<br />
In
my own stash I had some copper chipboard letter packs so I used them
for the title and the quote underneath.... I also added some little
copper dots to the corner of the frame.<br />
<br />
I much prefer this look to the original frame and am now looking forward to displaying it at home.<br />

today I have a layout using the beautifully foiled <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/midnight-garden-" target="_blank">Midnight Garden range from Prima.</a><br />
This
collection is a gorgeous mix of deep, dark florals mixing ruby,
turquoise and creams with rich copper foiling and vintage designs.<br />
<br />
I
wasn't sure initially what photo to use on these luscious papers and it
did pose a problem for me for little while. However, I eventually came
across this photo of my eldest daughter that was taken on a photo day
at the nursery she used to attend. We had borrowed a posh frock from a
friend for the photos and she sat beautifully for the sitting bless her.<br />
<br />

<br />
The page is backed by a sheet of dark grey cardstock and on the left hand side I stamped using a <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/kaisercraft-6237" target="_blank">Kaisercraft Clear Stamp</a> in the Diamond design and some copper acrylic paint.<br />
<br />
Using a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/midnight-garden/prima-midnight-garden-more-roses-please-foiled-" target="_blank">More Roses Please</a> to create the page I sliced down from top to bottom on the left hand side approx 3" in.... I also popped a 3" strip of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/midnight-garden/prima-midnight-garden-feather-collector-foiled-" target="_blank">Feather Collector</a>,
sliced in half, behind the top sheet. I rolled both layers back
separately to expose the reverse of the paper and also to show the
Diamond stamping in the background and to create some dimension on my
page.<br />
<br />

<br />
Using 3 colours of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/ranger-stickles" target="_blank">Stickles</a> in Pink, Copper and Midnight Blue I sponged randomly across the page which added some pretty sparkly highlights.<br />
<br />

<br />
Using a Tim Holtz Tattered Florals large die I cut out a few flowers using sections from <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/midnight-garden/prima-midnight-garden-feather-collector-foiled-" target="_blank">Feather Collector</a>, <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/midnight-garden/prima-midnight-garden-old-map-foiled-" target="_blank">Old Map</a> , and <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/midnight-garden/prima-midnight-garden-traveling-tickets-foiled-" target="_blank">Travelling Ticket,</a><br />
I layered them up, curling the edges and sponging them with Copper and Pink <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/ranger-stickles" target="_blank">Stickles</a>, then popped in some Pink Stickles for the centres.<br />

A couple of small panels were cut from<a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/midnight-garden/prima-midnight-garden-rose-receipts-foiled-" target="_blank"> Rose Receipts</a> which I gently inked around the edges of with an old dark brown ink pad, I also added an inked small tag with a<a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/clips/doodlebug-design-milk-and-cookies-cute-clips-mini-hearts" target="_blank"> cute heart paper clip</a> from Doodlebug. These were layered and tucked behind the photo.<br />

Rather than matting the photo I popped it into a delicate chipboard frame and also added a chipboard title.<br />

A
few feathers were cut from the Feather Collector sheet and added below
the title and I used a teeny sticker on the tag and under the title from
a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/pretty-little-studio-stickers" target="_blank">Pretty Little Studio</a> sayings.<br />

<br />
Anita here with you today and I have a new layout to share, this time using the <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/pebbles-loves-me" target="_blank">Loves Me</a>
range from Pebbles. Double sided papers filled with striking patterns,
hearts, cute animals, flowers and tags all in a range of eye catching
pinks and reds. It will melt your heart!<br />

<br />
<br />
I backed the layout on a sheet of Marischino <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/bazzill-basics" target="_blank">cardstock</a> and matted the photo with the same colour.<br />
I used a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/loves-me/pebbles-loves-me-huggably-yours" target="_blank"> Huggably Yours</a> and also <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/loves-me/pebbles-loves-me-bouquet-of-love" target="_blank">Bouquet of Love</a>, torn at angles and over lapped to make back up to an 11.5" x 11.5" square.<br />

<br />
On the upper half of the page I splattered some drops of pink and black <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/distress-spray-stains" target="_blank">Distress Stain</a> and cut a thin strip of the striped paper that I then added a pearly buckle to and stuck across the top of the page.<br />
From
the left over pieces of the 2 sheets I cut various flowers and sloths
on hearts which were placed along the torn edges to create a border.<br />

<br />
From the sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/loves-me/pebbles-loves-me-tag-youre-it" target="_blank">Tag You're It</a>
I chose 5 tags that I liked with various sayings on and threaded them
through with some 3mm Satin Ribbon, then arranged them across the page.<br />

I
cut the Fox, Typewriter, Cookie Heart and banner shape from left over
tags and added them to the page and then just finished it off with a few
sprinklings of sequins ( who doesn't love sequins!!)<br />

<br />
Here is another layout using G<a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/georgia-blues-" target="_blank">eorgia Blues Collection</a>
from Prima. These papers are an absolute pleasure to create with and I
am rather sad that I am at the end of my stash of them ( I think I shall
have to be putting in a order for some just to squirrel away and keep
just to stroke and admire!!) I had one whole sheet left in my DT kit and
some scraps from other sheets left over and I knew they were just right
for this photo of my youngest daughter and I on her prom night.<br />
<br />

<br />
I based the layout on a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/georgia-blues-/prima-georgia-blues-the-watermark-foiled-" target="_blank">The Watermark</a> and used the reverse side, that has gentle filing around the edges. Using one of the stitches stamps from the<a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/49-and-market/49-and-market-clear-stamps-gabis-line-stitch" target="_blank"> 49 and Market Gabi's Line Stitch set</a> I dabbed it with a Distress Stain in <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/ranger-distress-stains/tim-holtz-distress-stain-blueprint-sketch" target="_blank">Blueprint Sketch</a>
and stamped around the edges of the page from each corner. I also used
some bubble wrap that I removed from the centre of a jiffy bag ( it was
tiny bubbles and just perfect!) and chose 3 colours of acrylic paint,
Cobalt Blue, Platinum and Silver. These were gently sponged onto the
bubbles and then laid onto the page, pressing gently so as not to pop
the bubbles.<br />

<br />
I took some <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/dusty-attic" target="_blank">Dusty Chipboard</a>
from my own stash ( there is a great selection of various chipboard
embellishents in the shop) and gave it a watercolour brushover with some
blue paint and then added Silver Beadazzles, Blue Glitter and Silvery
Liquid Pearls onto the berries.<br />

<br />
I used up left over strips and panels from the sheets of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/georgia-blues-/prima-georgia-blues-memory-lane-foiled-" target="_blank">Memory Lane</a> and <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/georgia-blues-/prima-georgia-blues-written-chapters-foiled-" target="_blank">Written Chapters</a>
which were gently inked around the edges using an old brown inkpad.
These strips were then layered up across the page before adding the
photo which was printed in a 5 x 5 format.<br />

Hi There<br />
<br />
Here is a recent page I made for my DT post over at Papermaze. Its using Prima's Georgia Blues papers.<br /><br />
I
wanted to add another layout to our Silver Wedding Album and thought
this range would be just perfect for it. The top photo was taken the
year we were married and the bottom one whilst on our Silver Anniversary
Road Trip.....this photo was on a steamer at Ullswater.<br />

<br />
I used a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/georgia-blues-/prima-georgia-blues-midnight-blues-foiled-" target="_blank">Midnight Blues</a> for my layout, the deep navy blue with the mix of white and blue roses and silver foiled fine script is really striking.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
White acrylic paint was used and sponged through a diamond <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/masks-and-stencils" target="_blank">stencil</a>,
it was also drizzled and splattered across the page. On a couple of the
large drops of paint I used a cocktail stick and dragged out points
making it look star like. I also gently sponged some paint around the
photo edges, instead of matting them.<br />
<br />

<br />
I added some <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/prima-flowers/prima-georgia-blues-emerson-flowers" target="_blank">Prima Emerson flowers</a> with a mix of other flowers and die cut leaves from my stash and a chipboard embellishment from<a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/dusty-attic" target="_blank"> Dusty Attic. </a><br />

<br />
I
have quite a few butterfly files on my laptop and thought I would like
to add some to my page, so printed them out onto white card, fussy cut
and <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/ranger-stickles" target="_blank">Stickled</a> them , raising their wings on small foam pads.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I
also added a small doily behind the top photo , the printed vellum
packaging from some Prima flowers and a panel cut from a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/georgia-blues-/prima-georgia-blues-memory-lane-foiled-" target="_blank">Memory Lane </a>behind the other photo. Also a sprinkling of sequins, small wooden hearts and a couple of lengths of cream cotton lace.<br />

<br />
Hi There and Happy New Year Everybody!!<br />
<br />
It's Anita here today and I have been using some lovely <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/jingle-" target="_blank">Authentique *Jingle*</a> papers to prettify a red lantern that I have had for a couple of years.<br />
<br />
I
don't know if you are like me or not, but I just cannot resist a good
bargain when I see one!
A couple of years ago, straight after Christmas, I saw some red
lanterns, filled with tiny little lights and reduced by 70%!
Not one who can leave bargains on the shelf I quickly purchased 2 and
bought them home and packed them away for the following Christmas!<br />
So then out they came for Christmas 2017 and they sat on the sideboard, sparkling away.....but actually looking quite plain.
So this Christmas they came out again.....only this time they cried out for a make over!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I
saw some of the gorgeous Christmas papers in the shop and noticed 2
lovely new collections from Authentique. They were both really nice but
in the end I chose to use the <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/jingle-" target="_blank">Jingle</a> papers.<br />
I cut some of the multi coloured candy stripes from the sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/jingle/authentique-jingle-5-retro-holiday-candies" target="_blank">Retro Holiday Candies</a> and used them to frame each side of the actual lantern part.<br />
<br />

<br />
I also cut the red and white candy cane stripes that framed some of the Santa images on the sheet of <a href="http://davinie.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/tutorials" target="_blank">Retro Christmas Cut aparts</a> and used these to decorate the top plate and base plate edges of the lantern.<br />

The

I
trimmed a sprig from one of my long garlands I use to decorate our
bannisters and wrapped it around the top of the lantern before adding a
selection of Christmas flowers, berries, glittered ivy leaves and some
miniature glass baubles to just finish it off.<br />

Hello There.<br />
<br />
I am a bit behind with posting some of my DT work, so thought I would catch up and post this explosion box first.<br />
I really cannot believe how rapidly
Christmas came round this year..... Do you make lots of your Christmas cards?
I have to be honest and admit that I am rather naughty and only hand
make some for a few of my friends, they are all crafty ladies and I know
we all appreciate a handmade card... I have a couple of large boxes
full that I have saved over the years of ones I have been lucky enough
to receive and I love looking at them.<br />
<br />
I wanted to make
something different for some very special friends of mine this year and
decided to make an explosion box and use as a card for them.<br />
<br />

<br />
I have been working with the <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/-merry-and-bright" target="_blank">Merry and Bright Collection from Simple Stories</a>,
its a vibrant mix of red, green and white with a mix of plaid, polka
dots and various other patterns and also lovely decorative panels to
choose from.<br />
I used 2 sheets from the range.... <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/merry-and-bright-/simple-stories-merry-and-bright-4x4-elements" target="_blank">4 x 4 Elements</a> and <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/merry-and-bright-/simple-stories-merry-and-bright-a-simple-wish" target="_blank">A Simple Wish</a> along with a sheet of Red Hots Bazzill and a sheet of Ivy<br />

<br />
There
are lots and lots of tutorials on Pinterest, You Tube and Google, to
create various size and shaped Explosion boxes depending on what you
want to do and so much inspiration for decorating etc. I went for a
simple, single layer box based on a sheet of 12 x 12 cardstock. It was
scored at every 4 inches, this meant the sheet was split evenly into 9
squares. I cut the top right and left panels out and the same on the
bottom right and left. This left a basic cross shape and when the sides
were folded up it creates the lower part of the box.<br />
I picked 5
panels from the 4 x 4 Elements sheet and used them to decorate the inner
base and each empty side ( you can of course use photos if you prefer) I
also added some <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/search?q=Stickles&Submit=Go" target="_blank">Stickles</a> to pretty the panels up and give some extra festive sparkle!<br />
The outside of the box was decorated with panels of one side of the A Simple Wish sheet.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to make a little 3d scene inside and found these sweet little
wooden cottages and a mini bottle brush tree which were perfect for the
job. Along with some teeny polystyrene snowballs to finish it all off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
I
used the 2nd sheet of card-stock for the lid. This was cut down to an 8
x 8 " square and then measured in at 1" 7/8 " along each corner, sliced
inwards to 1" 7/8 and then folded to make the lid. This was covered
with panels of the reverse side of A Simple Wish and the very top of
the lid had a 4 x 4 Element Panel added to it and Stickles added.<br />

<br />
I would like
to introduce the stunning GEORGIA BLUES Collection from Prima. What an
absolute delight these papers are with the gorgeous blue tones, floral
displays and elegant silver foiling details on each sheet. The patterns
are magnificent and varied and they really are rather luxurious.<br />
(
Please excuse the poor quality of the photos, the weather has been wet
and lousy here today and I haven't been able to take them outside like I
normally do)<br />

I
have been wanting to scrap this photo, taken of our youngest daughter
for some time. When we were on a day out on holiday in August 2015 we
found a row of lovely beach huts at Hunstanton and we had a little photo
shoot.... I think these papers were perfect for the job.<br />
<br />

<br />
I
based the layout on a sheet of Dark Grey cardstock and took a sheet of
MORNING GLORY that I then gutted out a large oval shape from the centre
of the sheet. I cut small snips all the way round the oval and then
using a thin paint brush handle, I rolled the edges backwards..... this
created a rolled frame and also exposed the pattern from the rear of the
sheet.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I
also used a sheet of HAPPY DAYS, from this I cut out the bicycle and
the floral arrangement from the top left of the sheet. The large
remaining piece was placed behind the oval aperture for the photo to sit
on.<br />

I
added the bicycle and the floral section around the rolled frame and
then cut a slice and rolled back on the top of the right hand side of
the layout. Behind the slice I slipped in a small panel cut from a sheet
of Memory Lane and then did some criss cross lacing using some sparkly
blue thread.<br />

<br />
<br />
I took the <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/dusty-attic" target="_blank">Decorative Chipboard</a>
and cut it in half ( to use at the top and bottom of the page) I gently
added some Pewter cream rub on to make it suit the page a little
better.<br />

<br />
Hi There<br />
<br />
Today I have been using up the last few little bits of left overs from the sheets of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/gypsy-rose" target="_blank">Gypsy Rose</a> that I have been working on. Please see my original post, <a href="https://scrappaperscissors.blogspot.com/2018/10/be-yourself-gypsy-rose-from-kaisercraft.html" target="_blank">Be Yourself</a> , for the first layout using these gorgeous papers from Kaisercraft.<br />
<br />
I
am not normally a fan of using too much cardstock, but I had a couple
of sheets spare and they worked well with the colours in this paper
range. I cut the lighter sheet down to an 11" x 11" square and then
using a Martha Stewart Deep Edge, I did a single punch on each side.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I had a few floral clusters left over that I had cut out from the sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/gypsy-rose/kaisercraft-gypsy-rose-inspiring" target="_blank">Inspiring</a> and scattered these around the page. I also added a die cut butterfly and gave her a trail of champagne coloured crystals.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose a couple of sections from the sheet called <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/gypsy-rose/kaisercraft-gypsy-rose-original" target="_blank">Original</a>....this is full of lovely quotes and sayings and is very usable for a variety of style layouts and cards.</div>

<br />
<br />
I also used the largest of all the Dream Catcher images in this collection, its taken from the sheet called <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/gypsy-rose/kaisercraft-gypsy-rose-free-spirit" target="_blank">Free Spirit</a>.
A little strip of words was added across the centre and I then added
small and large Champagne crystals across the page in various places to
finish the layout.<br />

Hi There Crafters<br />
<br />
Just for a change, instead of working with some of the newest
additions to the shop, I thought I would break out an older release
which is really beautiful. I wanted to scrap these 2 photos of my
youngest daughter after she had been playing with some Snapchat filters.
This layout has been inspired by the beautiful work of Kylie Kingham
who is on the DT for Kaisercraft.<br />
<br />
Kaisercraft have 2
releases of fabulous papers at the very beginning of every month, all
great quality, double sided and designed to compliment each other
perfectly. The collection I am working with is <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/gypsy-rose" target="_blank">Gypsy Rose</a> and is a lovely mix of dream-catchers, beautiful blooms and varying shades of burgundy, green and pinks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiygI5TJHBS9pRi_MgRJRGGcdZ-JKpTv5B7upUKbIdAt6If_73hunjexc3QCXTDeF6asaAtuxDqtbjHIVGGvrTZS4GbFumgRaH3_uFaBjUTtI943GbuRSedrFY5gYrxhVcP3QWL8R2oCe4x/s1600/44624649_550981778692862_3184671417660604416_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiygI5TJHBS9pRi_MgRJRGGcdZ-JKpTv5B7upUKbIdAt6If_73hunjexc3QCXTDeF6asaAtuxDqtbjHIVGGvrTZS4GbFumgRaH3_uFaBjUTtI943GbuRSedrFY5gYrxhVcP3QWL8R2oCe4x/s400/44624649_550981778692862_3184671417660604416_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I backed the layout on a sheet of deep burgundy cardstock and stuck a 5" x 12" strip of the green polka dot paper <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/gypsy-rose/kaisercraft-gypsy-rose-wandering" target="_blank">Wandering </a>across the top of the page. I also fussy cut a large and small Dream-catcher from the reverse side of the sheet<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-wGfp0ofgxZApXKJzXCHKmgxRa9pW630iJny1HHsWCeAJHUQTQ_ofXxTshRsLIm-lvOyX_2vex97eF_S_L4Ro8WGUQ6ElzLbfKJMdk9nCsw5P8K4Wr13kpIpNLFFwd8o_S3xuQ97RtEjt/s1600/44529217_519436698466532_7846678269360340992_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="718" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-wGfp0ofgxZApXKJzXCHKmgxRa9pW630iJny1HHsWCeAJHUQTQ_ofXxTshRsLIm-lvOyX_2vex97eF_S_L4Ro8WGUQ6ElzLbfKJMdk9nCsw5P8K4Wr13kpIpNLFFwd8o_S3xuQ97RtEjt/s400/44529217_519436698466532_7846678269360340992_n.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I then took sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/gypsy-rose/kaisercraft-gypsy-rose-free-spirit" target="_blank">Free Spirit</a>
and fussy cut the extra large Dreamcatcher, which I put to one side for
another layout I had planned. The remainder of the sheet is a shabby
chic wood effect and I cut this into 6 strips that were 7" x 2". I
distressed all round each strip with an old dark brown ink pad and
roughed the edges with the edge of a scissor blade before laying them
side by side across the bottom of the layout to create wooden panels<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The rest of the page was created by fussy cutting lots of flower clusters from the sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/gypsy-rose/kaisercraft-gypsy-rose-inspiring" target="_blank">Inspiring</a> and also picking some of the sayings and cutting them out from the sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/gypsy-rose/kaisercraft-gypsy-rose-original" target="_blank">Original</a> ( there is a great selection to choose from).<br />
I also die cut some leafy fronds from green cardstock and tucked in behind the edges of some of the bloom clusters<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidMF38VZeBV5cRyfWtuRspkbFevYfW1XvDi9NiwC_OJypXhefpDMLuGqUrzKe118nwrk5Ji7EHcfo6JeYdgx8yuLLPeG7iPGGc4gUxZNr1RYUvu99xclOsLkHdpnVi7Rds8MR8GsWMGYvs/s1600/44545769_495784704165339_1318353577445425152_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="959" data-original-width="649" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidMF38VZeBV5cRyfWtuRspkbFevYfW1XvDi9NiwC_OJypXhefpDMLuGqUrzKe118nwrk5Ji7EHcfo6JeYdgx8yuLLPeG7iPGGc4gUxZNr1RYUvu99xclOsLkHdpnVi7Rds8MR8GsWMGYvs/s400/44545769_495784704165339_1318353577445425152_n.jpg" width="270" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
After adding the 2 dream catchers that I had cut from the sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/gypsy-rose/kaisercraft-gypsy-rose-wandering" target="_blank">Wandering</a>,
I added some flat backed pearls and crystals to them and also scattered
a few across the page in different places to complete the page.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I
have really enjoyed using these papers, the colour way and the prints
are beautiful and easy to use. There are lots of gorgeous collections
available throughout the <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/" target="_blank">shop here</a> for you to have a good look through.<br />
<br />
I
will be back again at a later date with another layout, using mainly
cardstock ( most unusual for me!!) and the left over pieces from the
sheets I used today.<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend, hope some of it is filled with crafting of somekind!<br />

<br />
I am here today with a layout using up the rest of my DT kit using the beautiful Autumnal papers from the <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/forever-fall-" target="_blank">Simple Stories Forever Fall collection</a>.<br />
<br />
This paper collection was perfect for this large photo I have been waiting to scrap of my Mum and our girls taken back in 2011.<br />
For
several years running we have visited a local Pick Your Own Farm at
various times throughout the year, but my favourite visit is always the
one to the pumpkin patch.<br />
We have been making these visits since
our girls were small and they always have a lovely display of various
harvested pumpkins and also lots left out in the fields and we enjoy
walking about and finding the largest and smallest ones that we can.<br />

<br />
<br />
I based my layout on a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/forever-fall/simple-stories-forever-fall-gather-together" target="_blank">Gathered Together </a>and onto the right hand side of the page I added a strip of the reverse side of a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/forever-fall/simple-stories-forever-fall-4x6-horizontal-elements" target="_blank">4 x 6 Horizontal Elements </a><br />
I
had my photo printed out large, it was initially an 8" x 10" print, but
I cut it down to 7" x 10" and I placed this on the left hand side of
the page and then cut a panel from a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/forever-fall/simple-stories-forever-fall-4x4-elements" target="_blank">4 x 4 Elements</a><br />
and I overlapped this on the right hand side of the photo.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I cut some flowers from a panel on the 4 x 4 Elements sheet and added some mulberry paper glittered leaves in various places.<br />
I wanted to add some
extra texture using fabric on my page, so I took some white cheesecloth and popped in a small bowl
with a little water and some drops each of Crushed Courduroy and Barn
Door <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/ranger-distress-stains" target="_blank">Distress Stains </a><br />
After
a few hours in soak I hung it to dry and added it to the page. The
cheesecloth takes on the stain really well and I have often used this
technique with a big variety of colours.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBm2glWxen2ds8Vh01lOFQbKzGzAnIIA4V0bGekOqkHvWVnn5OsHY0_aq8vWAkzOk5lk2EKam-iUTKqmpp3i7RY_HTthZv6MOo_pOctTmlPYeUEJUaZCZVEEQ5Fdm4ec_DU64TrztR8d_L/s1600/43234163_243582879837142_2036651557365219328_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="714" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBm2glWxen2ds8Vh01lOFQbKzGzAnIIA4V0bGekOqkHvWVnn5OsHY0_aq8vWAkzOk5lk2EKam-iUTKqmpp3i7RY_HTthZv6MOo_pOctTmlPYeUEJUaZCZVEEQ5Fdm4ec_DU64TrztR8d_L/s400/43234163_243582879837142_2036651557365219328_n.jpg" width="297" /></a></div>
<br />
After
it had dried thoroughly I tucked small pieces of the dyed cheesecloth
under areas of the page and then completed the layout using adhesive
copper tone studs, various buttons and a raffia bow.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgQjR2qYKIn5V96By2m04tlf9M1CsvoOWVT90CFWHrxrlgsxzvM5-wz-L-ZaWz6_oIwFJyXH5JgqHU25LDremUdW-s3NrC-1e8HfNwas6JWCvw-zbUCORJhM7pL_LUCARXpOVzFbPTIyfD/s1600/43106703_371813850024974_2046375895899308032_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="714" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgQjR2qYKIn5V96By2m04tlf9M1CsvoOWVT90CFWHrxrlgsxzvM5-wz-L-ZaWz6_oIwFJyXH5JgqHU25LDremUdW-s3NrC-1e8HfNwas6JWCvw-zbUCORJhM7pL_LUCARXpOVzFbPTIyfD/s400/43106703_371813850024974_2046375895899308032_n.jpg" width="297" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Sometimes
I really enjoy using a very large statement photo and less
embellishments on a page for a change, especially if I need to make a
page quite quickly.<br />
<br />
All of these gorgeous papers and many more are all available over at the <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/" target="_blank">shop</a>..... so why not pull up a chair and a cuppa and treat yourself to a little shopping spree ;)<br />
<br />
See you again when I am back later on in the month.<br />
<br />
Happy Scrapping!<br />

I am back today with another project using some of the fabulous <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/stamperia-jun" target="_blank">Stamperia</a> papers that are available in the shop.<br />
I
felt that these Clockwork papers had a steampunk feel about them and
went with that theme, but they would also work really well for a male
based layout too<br />
<br />

<br />
I backed the page onto a sheet of Laguna Bazill <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/bazzill-basics" target="_blank">cardstock</a> which I also inked around the edges with a dark brown ink pad to give a distressed effect.<br />
After cutting a random wavy edge all around the sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/stamperia/stamperia-clockwise-mechanism" target="_blank">Clockwork Mechanism</a> I roughed up the edges and gently inked them. I then used a <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/masks-prima/prima-finnabair-elementals-stencil-netting" target="_blank">Prima Finnibair Elementals Netting Stencil </a><br />
and sponged some Bronze and Gold acrylic paints through it to create a background. <br />
<br />

<br />
Using a combination of UTEE Embossing powders in Gold and Bronze and some<br />
<a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/stampendous-frantage-embossing-enamel/stampendous-frantage-embossing-enamel-aged-aqua" target="_blank">Stampendous Frantage Embossing Enamel in Aged Aqua </a><br />
I
sprinkled some randomly about the page and also poured some in little
piles to create larger areas when melted. I had to heat the powders from
underneath the page instead of the usual way from above, this is
because no embossing ink was used and the powder would have simply blown
away!<br />
<br />
I cut a panel from the sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/stamperia/stamperia-clockwise-with-cards" target="_blank">Clockwise with Cards </a>which
I then inked around the edge using a Lightning Gold Ink pad and also
used a decent amount of the embossing combo again, some areas were deep
enough to pour some glass beads and some jewellery findings into.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I
made a photo mat using some gold mirri board that I ran through a
Spellbinder 3D M-Bossabilities Creative Cogs Folder, I then swiped it
with Bronze, Copper and Black Acrylic paints.<br />
I wanted to add some
extra texture using fabric on my page, so I added some metallic mesh
fabric and then took some white cheesecloth and popped in a small bowl
with a little water and some drops each of Crushed Courduroy and Barn
Door <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/ranger-distress-stains" target="_blank">Distress Stains </a><br />
After
a few hours in soak I hung it to dry and added it to the page. The
cheesecloth takes on the stain really well and I have often used this
technique with a big variety of colours.<br />

<br />
I
was looking for some suitable embellishments to use and had a good
rummage in my stash where I found a broken necklace, so used some of the
antique looking metal flowers and also a clock Cabochon.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAzh68t02sleDbcyqOPgz3uvtjrh0wGBRgsPLda8T1mGipinHLPM6Ic9SmgjGDSRRzGm1fXHdiyA3lFDiPxOUb7NC0TyTamRBI4yVCDEGNPgBKLheUwm2Pa8G6OgaRUm7sGv1SqNSsXZdc/s1600/40458281_1272979632843048_2758166588048801792_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="799" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAzh68t02sleDbcyqOPgz3uvtjrh0wGBRgsPLda8T1mGipinHLPM6Ic9SmgjGDSRRzGm1fXHdiyA3lFDiPxOUb7NC0TyTamRBI4yVCDEGNPgBKLheUwm2Pa8G6OgaRUm7sGv1SqNSsXZdc/s400/40458281_1272979632843048_2758166588048801792_n.jpg" width="332" /></a></div>
I
also found some teeny bottles in my stash, so chose the flattest one
and popped some Microbeads in and added it to the layout. I then
finished the page with a small scattering of sequins....I do love using
sequins on my projects and have a nice selection of colours built up
now.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I
really enjoyed having a play with all the embossing powders for a
change and it felt nice to break out some of my old stash that I have
had for years. I will need to have a trip to the shop I think though as
I really would like to get some other colour Frantage Enamel to play
with.<br />
Thanks for looking at my post today, I hope you enjoyed it.
For all your scrapping and card making needs don't forget to have good
look around at the <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/" target="_blank">SHOP</a>....its full of wonderful products, with new items coming in all the time.<br />
<br />
Happy Scrapping<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have some absolutely beautiful papers in my DT kit, from a fairly new company to Papermaze, called <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/stamperia-jun" target="_blank">Stamperia</a> and I really loved the look of a sheet called <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/stamperia/stamperia-peony-and-laces" target="_blank">Peony and Laces</a>.......it was this sheet that inspired this project.</div>

I
bought this wooden trough a couple of weeks ago from a Pound Shop and
it has sat empty on my kitchen table ever since. When I looked at the
sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/stamperia/stamperia-peony-and-laces" target="_blank">Peony and Laces</a>
it made me think of my ever growing collection of laces, ribbons and
trims that I have stuffed into plastic boxes in my craft room....my
favourites are my vintagey cream and vanilla trims and I decided they
needed a pretty new home!</div>

I covered one side of the trough with a panel cut from the sheet of Peony and Laces and the other side<br />
was cut from the sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/stamperia/stamperia-peony-and-letters" target="_blank">Peony and Letters</a>. The left overs were used to cover the ends of the trough. <br />
<br />

<br />
I gently inked around all of the edges of the trough using <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/distress-ink-pads/tim-holtz-distress-ink-gathered-twigs" target="_blank">Tim Holtz Distress Ink Gathered Twigs</a>
to give it a slightly distress, aged look. And then picked one of my
favourite trims and stuck it all the way round the top edges, allowing
it to drape over the sides.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
One
of my other favourite embellishments is Blossoms, especially paper
ones. I had a couple of lovely ones in my kit and also had a rummage in
my own stash for a few more, along with some die cut Bazzill cardstock
leaves. There is a super selection of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/prima-flowers" target="_blank">Blossoms here</a> in the shop to look at.<br />
<br />

<br />
I
also used a wooden word saying LOVELY which I inked with Bronze and
Gold inkpads and made the word TRIMS using some metallic chipboard
letters from my own stash. There is a vast selection of Alphabets in
every colour and material<a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/american-crafts" target="_blank"> HERE</a> in the shop.<br />
I
then just added a few flat backed pearls to finish off the
decorating....... and piled the trough up with all my lovely
trims...they look much nicer in there than stuck inside a plastic box
that's for sure!<br />
<br />
<br />
A couple of photos without all the trims in.<br />

These
troughs look lovely when decorated and could be used for all different
things....as gift baskets on a theme, as storage around your own
home....anything! And when there are such beautiful papers about like
the <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/stamperia-jun" target="_blank">Stamperia Range</a>, what is stopping you?<br />

<br />
Today I have a layout to share using a brand new manufacturer to Papermaze, called <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/stamperia-jun" target="_blank">Stamperia</a>!
The shop stocks a good selection of their papers and they cover various
themes. The papers themselves are super quality, nice and thick and the
colour ways are beautiful.<br />
<br />
I chose to use some photos
from my 50th Birthday (earlier this year) when my lovely daughter and
sister joined forces and made me a luscious rich chocolate layer cake
and a fabulous, huge well fed unicorn ( made from fimo!)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuBCdq-XzQmWVANNH6wo3uQyjTDJR7lYKbY9cGc1JD3BsKGRkZBF4Es-mSMM88ZFdd1LXeFzxlKOXyhg1FlGjRitCBRf3Ssa8tOqMpCHE2WaPwzcLby3StWkqCibUcaC1Oo5bmxZ9a5Pwf/s1600/DSCF5452.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1504" data-original-width="1600" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuBCdq-XzQmWVANNH6wo3uQyjTDJR7lYKbY9cGc1JD3BsKGRkZBF4Es-mSMM88ZFdd1LXeFzxlKOXyhg1FlGjRitCBRf3Ssa8tOqMpCHE2WaPwzcLby3StWkqCibUcaC1Oo5bmxZ9a5Pwf/s400/DSCF5452.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I
had a sheet of light cream cardstock in my kit that I wanted to use to
base the layout back onto, but needed it to blend in, so I used 2 <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/distress-oxide-ink-pads" target="_blank">Distress Oxide Ink</a> pads : Peacock Feather and Seedless Preserves and applied them using some cellophane packaging and a water mister.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdXkWw5jvF0-JeQh4Mj8o2QEDH0QoHjJzYOAooJaOh6KMVP3dx1PfAp2aRmOfIdjiCoCHEBJIEy4DdlomYADnMnrnM0te2B_NTpE6ZzjWmpKIkSvQPuhFe7RR24EPEmy98qE7m4ind-byX/s1600/DSCF5417.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1570" data-original-width="1600" height="392" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdXkWw5jvF0-JeQh4Mj8o2QEDH0QoHjJzYOAooJaOh6KMVP3dx1PfAp2aRmOfIdjiCoCHEBJIEy4DdlomYADnMnrnM0te2B_NTpE6ZzjWmpKIkSvQPuhFe7RR24EPEmy98qE7m4ind-byX/s400/DSCF5417.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I also used the same colours and technique on the sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/stamperia/stamperia-wonderland-unicorn" target="_blank">Wonderland Unicorn</a> that the layout is created on. Where some of the patches were particularly wet, I blew hard and created the runs down the page.<br />
Using
some white acrylic paint I dry brushed around each photograph to create
a soft matt and also around the entire edge of the layout.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3VWCw05vG9zTTXLe6SF5LCfuos7dOhIImfakTrX47KRnj1gFT5g5X3iYIYjU-yuGYh9MNDcbs99jH7zsMSJjJ6qOP8qGpYZ9vIaZtJa6s0FDNA71P5mVZr_7VQR4lRg4ARzfSd3cSi-Tk/s1600/DSCF5423.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3VWCw05vG9zTTXLe6SF5LCfuos7dOhIImfakTrX47KRnj1gFT5g5X3iYIYjU-yuGYh9MNDcbs99jH7zsMSJjJ6qOP8qGpYZ9vIaZtJa6s0FDNA71P5mVZr_7VQR4lRg4ARzfSd3cSi-Tk/s400/DSCF5423.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I had some <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/prima-flowers" target="_blank">Prima Blossoms</a>
in my kit and I wanted to make them work with the page, so I used the
same inks on these, gently patting a bit of each colour on and then
misting with the water spray again to help blend the colours.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I
had bought a 2nd sheet of Wonderland Unicorn and so cut out the 2nd
Unicorn and layered it on the original page using some foam pads for
dimension, then gave the wings, mane and tail some magical sparkle using
some<a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/category/stickles" target="_blank"> Stickles.</a><br />
<br />
I
also had some lovely cotton lace in my kit, this took some of the ink
really well and stained it to co-ordinate with the rest of the page.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE6bGnO3hxkypjvPqn8bhE1A_Q8A0cKScT2TLlhbJfx69kIicYafSyFia_PSspUVEsv4NmLaNGW-p-79-gC9oO5ILzs7iY8nY_tJkfJY6GKLGHV7sCv40FIn_8R1hBxrg5LKnZ6fhWAy2p/s1600/DSCF5440.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhliMnLFvactqM51LQR5Wq4thGvE6BGrtEHFD-RbS5kf0w5Mp0GghJAB_hDHY9YXYZYzjJ8VppjZE8EzQa0FgLlNZg4E78KF-FbnkmNBFR5MXahVZP1WmIx5nILfUItVRntggRqbK7iQ0cU/s400/DSCF5434.JPG" width="300" /><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE6bGnO3hxkypjvPqn8bhE1A_Q8A0cKScT2TLlhbJfx69kIicYafSyFia_PSspUVEsv4NmLaNGW-p-79-gC9oO5ILzs7iY8nY_tJkfJY6GKLGHV7sCv40FIn_8R1hBxrg5LKnZ6fhWAy2p/s400/DSCF5440.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
I
tore a slice out of the paper on the right hand side and rolled each
section back, to reveal some of the inking underneath. Then used some
irridescant, sparkly thread to stitch criss crosses along the length of
it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I cut a floral section from the back of a sheet of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/stamperia/stamperia-wonderland-dragonfly" target="_blank">Wonderland Dragonfly</a>
and used a couple of other scraps of left overs and layered them up
behind the photos along with a couple of small plastic doily
embellishments.<br />
The title was made using various alphabet stickers, including <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/product/simple-stories-6405/simple-stories-snap-stickers-letters" target="_blank">Simple Stories Snap Studio</a>, Martha Stewart and AC Thickers.<br />
I
used a few different paper blossoms and lots of flat backed AB crystals
scattered about ( because you can never have too much magical sparkles
can you??)<br />
<br />
A couple more close ups.<br />
