Steampunk Spells Layouts - Apothecary & Black Cat

 

Hello

I have created a 10 Layout album featuring Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells. Below are the first 2 pages which I have named Apothecary and Black Cat.


I will list some of the many, many products used for the 10 pages - the base pages are either Steampunk Spells from Graphic 45, Haunted Harvest from DCWV or a selection from Stampin' Up.


When I created the pages, I have created 'frames' for future addition of photographs. Some of the other products used include: Sizzix Dies - Garden Greens, Cat & Moon and Styled Labels; Stampin' Up Label Punch and Halloween Scares, Mr Funny Bones and Spooky Fun Stampin' Up stamps; a range of Cardstock in oranges, black and metallic silver.

Cobwebs, cats, spiders and bats. Sequins, rhinestones and bows. Frames, leaves, flowers and butterflies - so many products used from my stash!

I hope you love the above pages as much as I do! Be sure to return again soon as I will post the other pages shortly!

See you again soon!

Wildly Flowering - Stampin'up

 Hello

These are some ideas for Wildly Flowering collection from Stampin'up.


The Misty Moonlight background was embossed in the Dashing Designs folder then layered on to a Crumb Cake base. The Wildflower designs dies were cut from Crumb cake and white card, with the white section also being embossed. A paper piece was die cut with the smaller die and layered on to card of the same size. The pieces were then added to the card with the outer frame and the centre paper panel mounted on dimensionals. The blue bow and ombre dots were added and  Stardust pen was used to outline the background and centre panels.



This side opening card has an Early Espresso base and front panel. Sections of the dies were also cut in white card and Moody Mauve paper, then fitted together. Wildflower design images were stamped on the front centre and inside panels. The same image was stamped and die cut and added to the front section with a twine bow and some sparkle gems.


This is a crumb cake base with and embossed misty moonlight background. The white frame is the negative panel from the first card, as is the crumb cake frame from the same card, which has itself been die cut. A die cut paper piece has been place behind this frame. Unbounded Love stamps and dies were used for the sentiment. Stamped and die cut flowers were attached with a moonlight bow, and some ombre dots. Glitter glue and stardust pen were used for sparkle.

Thanks for visiting.

Thoughtful Journey 02 - Stampin'up

 Hello

Thoughtful Journey DSP and Thoughtful Wishes stamp and die sets from Stampin'up feature in these ideas.

Paper tearing technique forms the backgrounds on all cards. I feel the papers actually show where to tear them.


Card base is Boho Blue. The torn papers are edged with a marker and layered on to Moonlight Mist card. The die cut trees are from Peaceful Cabin set, as is the sentiment which has been die cut using a Perennial Postage die. A knot tied in Boho Blue twine, some In Colour dots, and brass birds have been added. Wink if Stella pen and glitter glue add sparkle.


Misty Moonlight  forms the base of this card. A panel of paper has been embossed in Clouds folder and matted on to Boho blue card. Torn papers have then been layered on top. Fussy cut leaves and flowers die cut from the papers have been added. The small crumb cake rabbits have been die cut using In the Grove dies. The sentiment is from Eden's Garden set and has been cut with a die from Mini Treat bag dies. Brass birds, In colour dots, pebbles, Glitter glue and Wink of Stella have been applied.


This design is built on to a Pretty Peacock card base. The papers were torn, edged with marker for definition, and layered on top. The Thoughtful wishes leaf stem is stamped on Vanilla card, painted with ink and die cut. It was then mounted in place and a knot tied in Wheat ribbon added. The ducks and reeds were die cut using Charming Duck Pond dies and fixed in place. The sentiment from Fifth Avenue Floral was stamped directly on the paper. Tiny gems were added to the ducks eyes, and brass birds, pebbles, and foiled gems added. Wink of Stella pen was brushed on to the water and to the reeds.

Have a great day
