Scrap Shotz Creative Team Blog Hop!

Hello Friends!

If you have arrived from Lorraine Melin's blog you are in the right place. It was so much fun creating a project inspired by the fabulous new logo.

I was super inspired by the watercolour in the logo and this paper from the September Pinkfresh Studio kit was a great starting point.

I cut a portion from the B side of this Chit Chat paper (blue/green watercolour) and centred it over with card stock.

I mixed Nuvo Shimmer Powder in Green Parade and Blue Blitz and swiped over the white card stock.

I splattered the card stock with Nuvo Shimmer watercolor in Blue Blitz and the Blue Gold watercolor from the Starry Night Gansai Tambi set.

I then watercolored various blooms that I fussy cut from this sheet of paper:

I added gold watercolor to some of the blooms as well.

I layered the blooms over each other, adhering some with foam tape to add dimension.

I tucked in some gold foiled acetate die cuts that are also included in the September Scrap Shotz kit.

I used one of the add on die cuts to create the layout title and finished off the layout with a wood button and some gold enamel dots.

Trim the Tree

Hello Friends!

I've got a number of Creative Team projects up on the Scrap Shotz blog so click here to take a look.

I saved one to share with you here:

The tree is inked with Distress Ink in Bundled Sage and Peeled Paint, then die cut with the Concord and 9th Trim the Tree die. The patterned paper is also die cut with the same tree die and adhered to a white card stock card base. 

The Distress Ink-ed tree is further die cut with the Fa La La die also from the Trim the Tree set, setting aside the inner pieces from the letters.

Inlay the tree within the negative space of the patterned paper and then inlay the die cut words along with the green pieces from the tree.

Lastly, die cut the bows from gold and red glitter paper and adhere to the top of the tree.

Thanks for stopping by!

Many Thanks

Hello Friends!

A little bit ago I shared this Distress Crayon & Ink background with you and a promise to show you the completed card.
As promised, here is the card:

The purple/violet background was die cut with an Elizabeth Craft Designs rectangle die, then layered over a Wild Whisper Designs World's Best line paper from the June Scrap Shotz kit.

The tulips are stamped with Versamark ink & the Altenew Tulip stamp set on kraft card stock, then coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Crayons.

The tulips were then fussy cut, layered over each other with foam tape and accented with glossy accents. I tied twine from a Scrap Shotz kit around the flowers to create a bouquet.
Lastly, the sentiment is cut with a My Favourite Things die, popped up with foam tape and then glazed with glossy accents.

Thanks for stopping by😊

Double the Fun in London!!

I enjoyed a once in a lifetime vacation with my family (we are a family of 6 so that's what makes it "once in a lifetime :) ) in the U.K. last summer, here is a layout I crafted to remember the event:

London Tour

We took a Big Bus Tour of London which also included a float down the Thames. It was so amazing to see places we've read about in history and/or seen in movies.
I had some extra die cuts I had cut with the Tim Holtz Cityscape Skyline die from another project along with die cuts from the Tim Holtz Bigz L Die Tiny Houses.

Here is a close up look at my "skyline". The die cuts and stickers are from the Scrap Shotz March kit

and the right hand side of the two page,spread. The neutral colours showcase the blues in the photos.

Thanks for taking in my latest project. There is a Design Team ongoing at Scrap Shotz RIGHT NOW!

You can find all the details HERE.

Hi-Ya, Birthday Wishes and Thanks

Hello!
As I am in between Scrap Shotz Monthly kit club kits I have a wee bit of time to play with some items in my stash.

The following 2 cards feature the Altenew Tulip stamp. I stamped these images on watercolour paper and coloured one with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and the other with Gansai Tambi watercolor paints.

 The cherry wood paper is from Altenew as well as the sentiment. Nuvo Crystal drops in Bright Gold finish off the card.


These next 2 cards feature the darling Mama Elephant Tiny Ninjas stamps. The images are stamped in black Memento Ink and colored with Copic markers. The Tim Holtz Diamonds layering stencil and  Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Fossilized Amber and Squeezed Lemonade form the the background for the  ninjas.

I've added Dollar Store sequins and some My Mind's Eye paper from my stash to complete the cards.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!
