TODAY IS TECHNIQUE & TIPS TUESDAY

Today’s project combines watercollouring and heat embossing techniques.

I started with a Lost Lagoon cardbase and then worked on the watercoloured panel.

I used a piece of Fluid 100 watercolour paper.

TIP: Use a wide paintbrush to lay down some water across paper.

TIP: Add a few drops of ink to a large block. Then gradually apply the ink using the same paintbrush.

Use the Heat Tool to dry the watercoloured paper.

I used the splatters images from the Elements of Text Stamp Set, Versamark ink and WOW gold embossing powder to add gold to this paper.

To create the two notebook pages, I used a die from the Just a Note dies. The top page was made from the watercoloured paper. The second was made from half of one of the cardbases from the kit.

These pages were overlapped and then I wrapped a length of the Lost Lagoon Soft Cording around the layers and tied a bow.

These layered pages were then secured on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Then I added three of the single cake elements from the kit using dimensionals.

The greeting was stamped and then heat embossed.

TIP: Use the Stampin’ Buddy, from the Embossing Additions Tool Kit, to ensure there are no oils on the paper so that more embossing powder sticks to the Versamark.

The splatter image and greeting were stamped on the card insert and the back of the envelope.

I didn’t add any further embellishments to the card because I thought the gold embossing was enough.

Tomorrow I will have another project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

MEMORYKEEPING MONDAY IS NOW MY THING!

I’m back from my week away and looking forward to sharing some projects using the Birthday Fancy Kit ($44 166211).

The kit comes with everything you need to make these 12 individual cards.

My projects this week will use these kit items to make completely different projects.

I made a two page scrapbooking layout using some of the kit items but also added some other bits and pieces from my stash.

I started by adhering some strips of Cloud Cover and Lost Lagoon card on each of the pages.

The next step was to add a 6″x 4″ Basic White photo placecard onto a 1 1/2″x 4 1/2″ Cloud Cover matte.

The titles for each page were made by adding Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Lost Lagoon card and cutting the letters with the Playful Alphabet Dies.

The journalling panels were made using the notebook Just a Note dies. I used the coordinating stamp set to add the Lost Lagoon lines on the notebook die cut. The notebook pages were then adhered to another Cloud Cover panel.

I used the tab and paperclip dies to cut these shapes and add them to the notebook page.

Then I decorated both pages using the decorative elements from the kit.

I think these pages would be great for photos from a birthday gathering or a high tea. What photos would you add to these pages?

Tomorrow I have a card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbboking.
