Scrapbook a Christmas Tag

December 5, 2017 No Comments

Hello everyone! Nicole Wright here today on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine creating a fun Christmas tag. Holiday crafting is in full swing and you may have a Christmas tag or two left to create. Today I am sharing this easy resist background for your next Christmas tag or any paper crafting project. Plaid is one of my favourite patterns and it’s even more fun to make your own background. This way you can coordinate any colour you want. It only takes a few easy steps and a lot of inky fingers. Lets get started. Putting Creative Scrapbooker Super Stock card stock through it’s paces with stenciling, embossing, spraying and inking for this tag. Start with the clear embossing powder and stencil to create the resist. Heat dry the spray stain and wipe the extra stain off the embossed pattern. The clear embossing powder creates the resist allowing the white background…

Tuesday with the Team Gets Creepy with Kim Gowdy

October 10, 2017 1 Comment

I LOVE turkey and mashed potatoes as much as the next guy, but the best thing about Thanksgiving is what comes next! Halloween! I have loved Halloween as long as I can remember! I’m not sure why, maybe because I’m an October “baby” and many birthday celebrations were shared with Halloween events or maybe it’s the colours of fall and the chill in the air…time for sweaters, candles and candy! HALLOWEEN DECOR Of course, when my turn came up for this week’s Tuesday with the Team…I knew I would do a Halloween theme! Without further ado, here is the project I worked on! A little Halloween décor to creep up a corner in my house! This diorama was quite easily put together. I had a box from some Christmas cards that I had saved because it was very sturdy and I loved that the cardboard cover had an opening making…

Creating a Background with Ranger Hey Creative Scrapbookers, Nicole here with you for Tuesday with the Team. Have you got your copy of the Spring Issue of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine? This card was featured in the Technique Tasters column pages 66-67. Here, I have a more detailed look at how to create a dynamic background using Ranger Distress Crayons. Check out the steps below and get your Ranger Distress products ready. Brush a thin layer of Ranger’s White Gesso onto a 2 ¾” x 5 ¾” piece of cream cardstock and set aside to dry. For the background layer prep a 5 ¾” x 5 ¾” piece of watercolor paper. Spray with water to help the Distress Spray Stain to blend. Spray water over the distress spray stain again and heat dry. Add distress ink and blend. This gives the background a rich look. Flick water over the inked paper…

Hoppy Easter with Nicole Wright

March 19, 2017 No Comments

Hoppy Easter to you! Easter is just around the corner and I made a rustic little framed bunny card for Xyron. How can you not love these mossy little bunnies! The Xyron Create a Sticker works wonders for attaching the moss. The Ornate Frame 2 die is the perfect frame for this adorable bunny. Applying the Ranger Emboss It dauber makes for fast application. Sprinkle with Emerald Creek Craft Supplies Oil Rubbed Bronze embossing powder then rub the edges clean for a rustic worn look. Exposing the edges allows to some inking with Ranger Brushed Corduroy distress ink. The Create a Sticker is the perfect size for those smaller die cuts to apply adhesive effortlessly and without the sticky mess for applying the moss. I love having moss in my stash. Push the moss into place and trim off the moss around the bunny. The frame is bigger so I used the Creative Station with the 5″ cartridge refill running it through face up. Rub the frame…
