Hey Creative Scrapbooker Friends! For today’s blogpost, I’m sharing with you how I created these Dream Big & Believe In Yourself Card Set which uses the Simple Vintage Weathered Garden Collection from Simple Stories Super Stock from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine and adhesive from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. To start, I’m going to share with you how I created the Dream Big Card. To add some extra distressing to the patterned paper, I distressed all the edges, but didn’t ink them. From there, I used a label out of the Simple Moments – Page Pieces – Beautiful Moments. To add some interest in amongst the images, I like to layer in the foam hearts from the Simple Vintage Weathered Garden Foam Stickers. This adds some extra dimension. The main two images came out of the Simple Moments – Page Pieces – Beautiful Moments. There was a lot of white around the…

Way up on the Mountain – Featuring BoBunny – Take a Hike By Kerry Engel Creative blocks? Do you every get them? Sometimes I move the photos around for days. They sit on the counter and everyday I come in and move them around until something jumps out for me. With this set of pictures my first impulse was my go-to “grid layout”. This layout sat on my counter for a few days, it felt sort of boring, it didn’t get my mojo going. That goofy selfie photo made me laugh and I felt like it should be the dominant photo on the page. I also wanted more white space. Something that is hard to do with a set of photos that filled their frames. I also wanted to create some movement, this is when I decided on this layout. After I figured out how I wanted to position my…
Hello, Connie Nichol here today with a layout featuring Momenta cardstock and Art-C texture cream. My youngest played team handball at school this past year and I wanted to scrapbook the photographs the school took of the team. I started with a piece of Creative Scrapbooker Super Stock and applied Art-C silver texture cream through an Art-C plastic stencil on both sides of the page. Don’t be shy, just smear that texture cream with a palette knife or an old credit card generously through the stencil. It’s easy to do and just adds such a neat touchable texture to your page. Let dry. It doesn’t take long. I then took a couple of pieces of Momenta cardstock and layered them in the middle of the page. If you have not used this brand of cardstock, you need to go check it out. It’s heavy and beautifully textured and a pleasure…
SUCH A HANDSOME “DEXTER” PUPPY! By Cathie Allan Here is a quick and fun layout using some “timeless stamping tools”. I kept the steps for this “altered scrapbook layout” simple and fast. After stamping the “Line Background” stamp from Frog’s Whiskers Ink several times on our Creative Scrapbooker Super Stock (my favorite cardstock for my projects) in Clearsnap ColorBox Blackbird, Fluid Chalk ink I added super quick coloring with my Tombow pens. Quess what? I have been stamping a long, long time and my Tombow pens are years old and still are full of ink and ready to go. The capping system is so good on these particular pens that you will get every bit of ink out of them so long as you put the caps back on. I love this! I did not do any “fancy coloring” I just added color. After that I used my Clearsnap ColorBox…

Hello everyone – Kerry Engel here – I’m late to the Tim Holtz Crazy Bird game. Now I’m slightly addicted. I created a flock of birds and then used them on a variety of project. It’s handy to have a pile of them ready and waiting to add to your projects. Tack one on a card or create a wall hanging like I did. I even have three adhered to a lamp in my studio. How to make a flock: 1. Stamp the birds on Creative Scrapbooker Superstock (or a very sturdy cardstock) with a permanent waterproof black ink. 2. Spread Top Boss Clear Embossing Fluid over the image by pressing the ink pad over the image. Covering your image with Top Boss makes the colored ink blend more smoothly. 3. Apply ink from ColorBox Blends and ColorBox ink. Blend with the Smooch tip. Leave white space to create highlight.…
