Hello everyone! I hope you are well and safe! I want to share with you a multiple photos page that I created for 49 and Market using the Vintage Artistry Color Saige collection.  I started applying a coat of clear gesso to the Delicate paper that has a lovely design with leaves. I added textures on the background using the Gratitude Today stamp set with Versamark and white embossing powder. I framed three photos with the Vintage Artistry Sage Stitch Frames. Next, I created a design using the different laser cuts from the same collection. I started to embellish the page with the white Daisy stems and Sugar stems Fluff flowers. I added more textures using cheesecloth and white lace. I used a brush with Distress Ink to add color over the stamp work and around the embellishments. The title “Cherish” is one of the chipboard words from the treasure archival board. I applied microbeads and art stones with gel medium and added some Wishing bubbles and finally, whit...

“Hello everyone! I share with you an interactive pop-up altered box that I made using the  Tropical Travelogue  collection. I made the 3d pop-up effect coming out from the lid of the wooden box. I created like a shelf hanging of chains from the lid and I will show you all the creative process in the video. Let’s take a look… I took measurements of all sides of the box, then I cut paper in these sizes and covered the box inside and outside. I prefer to use liquid glue to adhere the paper to the wood. Once the box was covered, I distressed with a sponge all the edges with the Color Box decades ink to achieve the vintage look. I cut out some leaves and flowers from the papers to decorate the top of the box. I paste some of the leaves using the 3D foam tape, it gives a realistic effect. When I open the box the shelf comes out and it’s being held by chains. I decorated the shelf with various leaves and I also incorporated chipboard and sticker. I mixed color...

Hello my scrapper friends!  I’m so excited to share with you my first project as Graphic 45 Ambassador. I created a layout using one of my favorites collection  Botanical Tea .  I started giving textures to the polka dot paper with a stencil and modeling paste. I dab the Antiquing Dye Ink over the acrylic mat and I mixed it with water to paint all the stencil work. I let it dry. I took one tag from the Regular Ivory Tag Albums to mat the photo. I distressed with the ClearSnap Decades Dye Pad all the edges of the tag and the photo. I cut out the flowers, butterflies, birds and, leaves from the papers. Once I created the design on my page with the different chipboard, stickers and die cuts pieces, I added  3D foam tape on the back of them. It added dimension and highlight these elements. I added some art stones with gel medium to create more textures and for a feminine touch, I added some pearls here and there. You can watch all the creative...

Hi my scrapper friends! I want to share with you a couple of tags with the video tutorial that I made using the new World Traveler collection by Bo Bunny. I love to travel so I had fun creating with this collection. I tried to highlight the vintage look of this collection using brown, copper inks. But let me start from the beginning, I cut two pieces 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" from two different ivory papers from the collection. I gave textures with the Backsplash stencil and modeling paste. In my first tag,  I adhered some clocks and gears that I cut out  from the Bo Bunny's craft dies with a brown paper from the collection. To give dimension and interest I adhered some die cut from the Noteworthy package with adhesive foam dots. In the second tag, I used the same elements but created a different composition. These are three of the products that I used to create the tags. The Noteworthy package with all the fantastic die cuts pieces so easy to work wi...

Hi there!! Here's my first project with the beautiful Limited Edition kit by My Creative Scrapbook. Pam put together fantastic products in this kit. It is featuring the Havana collection by Prima Marketing, fabulous chipboards by Creative Embellishments, fantastic stencils by Vicky Boutin and much more...  Now let me show you what I did with the kit and I also made the video tutorial 😊 I love this paper I think is my favorite from this collection. My challenge was how to highlight the photo with this busy paper but I think I got it right. I cut a heart shape on the paper and adhered a piece of  green paper from the same collection. You can watch all the creative process in the video on my YouTube channel.  I used the chipboard and die cuts from the same collection to decorate around the photo and flowers. I was inspired on the same paper design to create the background. I adhered letters from the ABC here and there, then I gave a coat of gesso over all the ...
