Hello and Happy Fall! Kim here with some layouts to share, inspired by the September Sketchy Challenge. It’s no secret that I LOVE a good sketch as a starting place for scrapbooking. It seems to be what my brain seeks to start my creative process. I’m not one to always follow a sketch exactly. I never see absolutes with a sketch. Some folks see a sketch and distinguish what is a photo, paper and embellishment, they want to know what size to print photos and cut paper to make an exact replica, this is not wrong, just not my way. I, however see a sketch and think looser. What if the photo was paper or vice-versa, could an embellishment be a photo, one photo could hold the ‘weight’ of many photos, a photo could be a journal block, etc. I do not look to replicate  the sketch, though sometimes it…

Happy Fall!! Heather Fischer here today on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine blog to share some Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Fall themed cards I recently created! Fall is definitely my favourite season…I love the cooler days, the changing colours of the trees, fall decor, a hot PSL 😉 and of course, Fall themed projects! I tend to make and send quite a few Thanksgiving cards and cards to remind people how grateful I am for them. 🙂 For these 2 cards, I used 2 different stamp sets from Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz and a couple of my favourite techniques, ink blending and heat embossing! Both backgrounds were made using the following Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Oxide colours; Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Scattered Straw and some Vintage Photo blended around the edges.  I love this fall colour combination!! Here is a closer look at the first card I created -…

How stinking cute are these gift bags, boxes and tags designed by Nicole Wright featuring products by Stampers Anonymous and Ranger! So simple, so adorable AND so customizable!!!! Is customizable a word?!?!?! Here are the simple steps that Nicole followed. 1. Fold the top of your paper bag back approximately 1″, using a bone folder. Punch a hole in the centre. 2. Use Ranger Archival jet-black ink to stamp your Stampers Anonymous holiday images randomly on the front and back of the bag. 3. Colour the stamped images using Dina Wakley Media Scribble Sticks. 4.  Use a waterbrush pen to blend the Scribble Stick colours. Have fun, and create coordinating tags, cards, and holiday boxes.The stamp set that Nicole used is the Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Yuletide Gatherings stamp set. To colour the stamped images Nicole used her Ranger Dina Wakley Media Scribble Sticks. So much fun and so super…

The winter issue of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine  is out and about on newsstands and at your favourite local scrapbooking stores! This issue we featured projects inspired by anything bricks! Here is one of the layouts we featured in this column designed by Kim Gowdy. Not only did we LOVE the photo of these two handsome fellas reading the Summer issue of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine (giggle giggle) we also LOVED the background that Kim created. Kim used a variety of Ranger products to build the design however it was the Dina Wakley Media Collage Papers that stole the show! These sheets really added a soft, yet graphic texture that totally added to the design. Love it Kim! Be sure to pop on over to the Ranger website to check out the selection of Dina Wakley Media Collage Papers – you will be hooked! And don’t forget to pick up your copy…

Kim here with a quick card share! This fun anniversary card came together pretty quick. My background is from a gel print I made last year. I often pull out my Ranger Gel Printing Plate and Ranger Dina Wakley Media acrylic paint and just play. These prints most often become backgrounds for cards, and it’s always great to have them on hand.On top of a black cardstock base, I layered up a piece of ephemera that I had on hand, then stamped some asemic writing [Paper Artsy stamp]  with some Distress Oxide  Ink. I found what I felt was the perfect couple from my Tim Holtz Paper Dolls collection and adhered it with Tonic Studios Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive [current FAV!!!!]. I quickly added soft colour to the bride’s flowers with my Tonic Studios Nuvo Alcohol Markers, they worked perfectly on the shiny surface of the paper dolls. I stained some…

Check out this fabulous Slimline card designed by Kerry Engel. Kerry used the Dylusions Fancy a Cuppa stamp set that is absolutely delightful. Probably one of my all time favourite  sets and I am not even a big tea drinker! But seriously, who doesn’t love a cute little tea cup? Am I right or am I right?!?!?!? The images were stamped onto Creative Scrapbooker Super Stock. There is no messing around with this heavy weight cardstock…like the title says…its SUPER! LOLOLKerry stamped the images using Ranger Archival ink. She then coloured the stamped images using Tonic Studios Nuvo Alcohol Markers. For a perfect cut, Kerry cut the images out using her OLFA Craft Kinfe and cutting mat. The background patterned paper is from the Dina Wakley Media Collage Collective journal. All those fabulous enamel and glossy accents were created using a variety of Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops. Everything was adhered…
