Thoughtful Journey 03 - Stampin'up

 Hello

I have again been playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP and Thoughtful Wishes stamp and die sets for these cards.

The paper was cut to width then torn in sections, with a marker run along the edges. These pieces were matted on to Lagoon card then layered on to a Wild Wheat card base. The flower stems were die cut from Petunia and White card, placed together, and fixed to the card with a Wheat twine bow. The stamped sentiment is from Best Birds set and was cut with a die from Everyday Details die set. Brass birds and In Colour dots add detail, and Glitter glue and Stardust pen add highlights.

Wheat paper has been matted on to a Boho Blue base. A paper panel has been matted with Petunia card and mounted with dimensionals, over a Mossy Meadow die cut branch. The stamped sentiment is die cut with a Nested Essentials die. White and petunia die cut stems have been tucked behind a petunia ribbon bow. In Colour dots, brass butterflies, and Shimmer gems were added and glitter glue applied.

  

The torn paper panel was edged with marker, the upper background  piece embossed in the clouds folder, then layered and matted on to Cajun card. The stems were stamped on to Vanilla card, die cut and coloured with inks. These were mounted on to the card with a strip of Mossy Meadow ribbon. The sentiment (from Best Birds set) was stamped and die cut with an Everyday Details die. Brass birds trinkets and brushed metallic dots finish the design.

Have a great day

Steampunk Spells Layouts - Seymour and Voyages

Hello

Continuing on with my album of 10 Layouts, below is pages 9 and 10. I have named these ones: Seymour and Voyages.

I have not yet decided which photos to use in this album - the options are endless! When preparing the photo frames, I have adhered only part of the frame and will slip the photo in underneath and then adhere as required.

I hope you have enjoyed my Steampunk Spells Layouts and will be inspired to create many multi- layered layouts! 

Thank you for following along with my album and hope to see you again soon!

Steampunk Spells Layouts - Keys and Potions

Hello

Continuing on with my album of 10 Layouts, below is pages 7 and 8. I have named these ones: Keys and Potions.

Have you been following along with my layouts? Have you spotted the antics of black cat? Sometimes he is front and centre - other times he is cheekily peeking out from behind the photo frames...

Have you also spotted the stamped owl and little black heart stamped on every page? I enjoyed creating these pages so much that I think I will create a further 10 pages as I have so many more Halloween papers and elements!

Only 2 more pages to go for this album!

See you again soon!

Steampunk Spells Layouts - Faces and Howlet

 Hello

Continuing on with my album of 10 Layouts, below is pages 5 and 6. I have named these ones: Faces and Howlet.

To prepare these layouts, I chose my base layers and the smaller layers first, then die cut many elements. I pre-planned the photo frames for each page, allowing for three photos to be added to every page in the future. I die cut one larger black cat, spiders, bats, webs, leaves, labels, frames etc for every page. I then laid all ten base pages on my table and spread the elements across each to ensure I had enough for every layout.

I then went through all the Graphic 45 die cuts and ephemera packs and sorted these according to the base pages. I placed all the elements into 10 separate pockets and then created all the layouts one by one. The sequins and rhinestones were all added last.

How are you enjoying these layouts? They are very busy, however I am in love!

Be sure to visit again soon for pages 7 and 8!

Charming Duck Pond 02 - Stampin'up

 Hello

This a second set of cards featuring Lily Pond Lane DSP and Charming Duck Pond stamps and dies.

These two cards have Balmy Blue bases.

Card 1 has paper layered on to the base with a stamped, coloured and die cut frog, some die cut reeds, and lily and lily pads added, along with a small bunch of fussy cut reeds.

Card 2 has the ducks cut from the paper using a Spotlight on Nature die. This was then layered on to a circle die cut from gold foil card. The card base was matted with the edges of the paper, and the circle image mounted on top. Tropical Chic dies were used for the palm fronds, some reeds cut from the papers, and die cut reeds and lilies were all fixed in place. A strip of paper with the stamped sentiment was mounted  across the top. The sentiment used on both cards is from Heron Habitat set.

Brass dragonflies, ombre dots, glitter glue, and Wink of Stella was applied to both cards.

Card 3 has a strip of paper layered on to the side of a Peacock card base. This then has a very narrow strip of card covering the edge.  The adjoining wider strip of paper is hand cut just above the edge of the hills. This is then matted on to a slightly wider piece of peacock card and the top trimmed to match. The blue sky piece is taped to the card base. The panel is mounted over the top. Some ducks cut from the papers were added along with a small die cut duck and  lily buds. The sentiment was stamped directly on the paper. Flower gems, brass butterflies and ombre dots were added and glitter glue and Wink of Stella applied.

Card 4 has dragonfly paper matted on to Grey Granite card.  Squares were punched from Balmy blue card using 1 3/8" punch. 1 1/4" squares were cut from the papers. The sentiment was stamped on to a plain paper square. All squares were edged with marker and layered. Squares were added to the card with 3 using dimensionals and the remainder taped flat. Brass dragonflies and dappled dots were added and glitter glue and stardust pens applied.

I hope you find some inspiring ideas here.

Till next time
