Hello again, Nicole here and I am back to share this woody tag I made to show off the Sizzix Evergreen die. I love to get the most out of my dies and think of different ways I can use them. I love to create layers and texture along the way. I spritzed watercolor paper water then sprayed Ranger Distress Spray Stain peeled paint, lucky clover and twisted citron. I cut the greens from the tattered pinecone die and added a few forest moss Core’dinations ColorCore Cardstock greens too. Then I glued them all to a piece of matboard then ran it through on the Evergreen die. Creating this 3D Tree. I stamped the Kraft tag with using picket fence distress paint then inked the edges with ground espresso. With some scrap inked up watercolor paper I cut out “Moments” from the Handwritten Journey Thinlit. I used this Idea-Ology Flashcard trimmed…
Flip Frame Calendar by Nicole Wright – as seen on page 84 of our Spring 2016 issue of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine I’m back to share a project I was inspired by a couple months ago. Nicole here and you’ll want to check out One Lucky Day’s awesome Flip Frame with 2016 Calendar pages. I printed off the fun calendar pages and then went to town decorating each month! Here is my take and tutorial on this fun Flip Frame Calendar. I started by cutting 3 ¼”x 5” pieces of chipboard measuring 3/8” in on the sides. I marked each of the 12 pieces and punched out the holes. I measured and cut this gorgeous Heartfelt Creations Everyday Hero paper pack. I used Crafty Power Tape to adhere all the paper to the chipboard. I distressed all the edges with my sanding block then inked with Ranger…

Hello everyone let me introduce myself, I’m Nicole Wright. I’m new to the Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine Team and I’m thrilled to be creating for you. I love all things vintage, grungy especially creating 3D Projects. I love using my collection of Sizzix dies so you’ll be seeing a lot of that from me.

Then I grabbed my Magenta Nuance Powders. This is my first time using them and WOW…a little goes a long way! Using a dry paint brush a couple flicks of powder onto watercolor paper and spritz with water. The Magenta Nuance give a bold vibrant look to this Poppy! I used my heat gun to dry the flowers. To create the…
