Season's Greetings Layout for Paper Rose

Today I'm sharing a scrapbook layout created for Paper Rose using the Mistletoe Market collection. This collection has a very bold monotone vibe with the green, black and white colour scheme. The beauty of colour schemes like this is that you don't have to colour match your photos. Just use black and white photos. So easy! This available from the Paper Rose website or your local stockist.

 

Here is my completed layout plus close up photos so you can see how I've created and embellished the page. A full list of Paper Rose products used is listed below.

Welcome Little One Wall Decor for Paper Rose

Hi everyone! I'm sharing my first project created for Paper Rose using the Little Koala Adventures collection. This collection is available from the Paper Rose website or your local stockist. 

 

The koala images in this collection are super cute and I had to use this larger image of the koalas on a home decor piece. I had a 12x12 timber frame in my stash so I decided to use it as a shadow box/wall decor piece for a baby's room. This can stand on top of drawers or add some hooks and hang it on the wall.

 

Here is my completed layout plus close up photos showing how I've created and embellished the project. A full list of Paper Rose products used is listed below.

Christmas Art Journal Page for The Scrap Room

Today I'm sharing an art journal that I have created for The Scrap Room craft store using the Pine Festivities rice paper by 3Quarter Designs. This is the first time I have ever done a Christmas art journal page but it came together really quickly and easily.

 

To create this page I cut the elements from the rice paper that I wanted to use on the page. A combination of Oxide Inks were added to colour match the rice paper and blend it in with the background. Random stamping and stenciling was done over the edges to hide the joins. The edges of the pages were inked for contrast and dimension. The sentiment is from the 12x12 paper pack which has been trimmed down, distressed and adhered to the page. To finish accents were added using a gold gel pen.

Vellum Christmas Cards for The Scrap Room

Today I'm sharing a set of three A2 cards that I have created for The Scrap Room craft store using the Pine Festivities A4 Vellum Sheet by 3Quarter Designs.

 

Now I have to admit that these cards took a bit of engineering to do because I love a challenge and sticking the vellum panels on to a card base was too easy. Instead I die cut sections on the card fronts using different shaped dies that worked best with the vellum panels.

 

These are A2 top folding cards. I've designed them this way so that when you stand the cards up on display the vellum is a semi transparent and are the star of the show as the feature panel. 

 

I've cut down three pieces of gold cardstock to be 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches and the coordinating paper panels to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inches. I lined them up with the original die cut card front, placed the die on top and ran them through my die cut machine. This will ensure your panels all line up perfectly.

 

Next I adhered the vellum panel to each card then the coordinated gold cardstock panels over the top to sandwich the vellum in between. The patterned paper panels were added on top of the gold mat layer.

 

To finish I cut thin borders using the same dies and you don't need nesting dies to do this. All you do is trace around the outside of the die and cut out the shape either with a paper trimmer or scissors. So you will have an oval, square and rectangle pieces. Place the die back down on these pieces, tape them down so they don't move and then run them through your die cut machine. You will have a slim border. You can also use nesting dies but I wanted a slimmer border for these cards. Adhere the gold frames over the cut out areas to complete the cards.

 

The easier way to do this is to cut down your paper panels, mat onto gold cardstock and add to your A2 top folding card base. Then die cut each of the vellum panels and mat onto a gold cardstock panel in the same shape and adhere to the card base. The only real difference is that you wont have the semi transparency of the vellum. 

 

 Here are the three completed cards and the products used are listed below.

Cherish the Little Moments Layout for The Scrap Room

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing the third of three layouts that I have created for The Scrap Room craft store using the Pine Festivities by 3Quarter Designs.

 

 For the base I've cut two 2" strips from the dark green paper to give some contrast and balance to my photo. I've then torn the centre panel and adhered this to the two dark green strips to form the 12x12 base. Tip: use your score board as a guide by lining up the two outer strips with the 0" and 12" marks. Lightly adhere them with removal tape. Then adhere the middle panel to the two outer panels. 

 

 I had red in my photo so I've chosen elements from the die cut and fussy cut sheets that had red berries and also matted the photo onto some red glitter cardstock to tie them all together. I've also die cut some berries and holly leaves in the same red glitter cardstock and added them into the clusters. I cut a slit on the santa cap with a craft knife so it would sit over the photo corner.

 

The word sentiment is from the bottom of the papers and has been trimmed down, distressed then matted onto some of the dark green cardstock. 

 

I've added some muslin into the clusters to add some softness. Then added some brushed gold pearls and red gems to complete the layout. 

 

Here is my completed layout plus close up photos showing how I've created and embellished the page. Products used are listed below.

May Your Days Be Merry Layout for The Scrap Room

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing the second of three layouts that I have created for The Scrap Room craft store using the Pine Festivities by 3Quarter Designs.

 

For this layout I've used the wreath on the reverse side of the front cover as the base. My photo has been matted onto some black cardstock then gold glitter cardstock. I used a 3x4" photo for this layout so it wouldn't cover so much of the wreath.

 

I chose elements from the die cut sheets and fussy cutting sheets that worked with the images in the wreath. The baubles were fussy cut from the back cover page. I've die cut some holly leaves using the same gold glitter cardstock and added them into the clusters. The cluster was arranged to look like it was part of the wreath.

 

I've trimmed down one of the sentiments from the bottom of the papers, matted onto black cardstock and the gold cardstock to tie in with the photo and make it stand out more on the layout.

 

Here is my completed layout plus close up photos so you can see how I've created and embellished the page. Products used are listed below.
