49 and Market Layout - Don't Let Go and Sweet

Hello

How beautiful are these background papers from Fabscraps and don't they co-ordinate beautifully with the 49 and Market ARToptions Rouge Ephemera Bits?! The arched window is leftover from another 49 and Market Kit which I used in a previous album.

When adding the frames to the layouts, I only adhere 2 or sometimes 3 of the sides down to be able to add photos with ease.

Some of the other embellishments used in this album include: rhinestones, buttons, ribbon and tiny bulldog clips - did you spot the pink one in the top layout of this post?

See you soon!

49 and Market Layout - Forever and Ever & You Have My Heart

Hello

The next 2 pages feature the heart frames from the 49 and Market ARToptions Rouge Ephemera Bits. I have used many layers of tickets and tags sandwiched in between the Fabscraps papers. I loved that there is a co-ordinating circled sentiment for each heart frame!

I have also created a journaling card pocket tucked in behind the paper layers on every page. In each pocket, I have placed 3 journaling cards - see the memories card below...

Other papers I used in this album are Stampin' Up 6x6 DSP packs - the above green layer is Mossy Meadow.

Be sure to pop back in again soon for the next 2 pages, we are halfway there!

Traditions of Christmas paper has a corner folded to reveal the reverse side and is layered on to a stamped panel of white card, which is then layered on to the card base. A ribbon bow was added along with gems, and the paper highlighted with stickles glitter glue and glossy accents.

The blue card base was layered with white card and patterned paper, which is wrapped with ribbon. Leaves were die cut from 2 different gold foil card and fixed in place, then a stamped and die cut sentiment from Traditional Labels mounted over the top.  Sparkling sequins were added.

The red card is layered with paper and a smaller layer of red card which has been embossed in the Traditional Wreath folder. The sentiment was stamped, attached to a strip of gold foil card then added below the wreath. The die cut flowers and leaves were then added, with sequins to highlight. Gold stickles glitter glue was applied to the flower centres.

Add a little tradition to your Christmas crafting.

Till next time

Friendly Hello #2 - Stampin'up

 Hello

This is a second set of cards featuring Friendly Hello stamps and papers from Stampin'up.

Two of the papers were layered on to the card base. Three scalloped squares were die cut from coloured card and the negative piece was then embossed, and added to the card front. The same square die was used to cut images from a third piece of the papers, and white card. A smaller square was die cut from another paper and layered on to the white piece. Colour was added to the paper squares before inlaying to the design. The white square was mounted at an angle and a bow attached.

Strips of two of the different papers were joined then wrapped with ribbon and layered on to the card front. Small squares were die cut from the bird paper and layered on to the squares die cut from the previous card. These were then added to the card with the one on the right being flat and the other two mounted. The metal love charm was added.

For the floral card the corners of white card and striped paper were punched and layered together on to the card base. Layered labels die was used to cut a section from the green paper and the background colour card. These were layered together and the piece mounted to the front. The coloured flowers were fussy cut from the papers and fixed over the white flowers on the paper. The bow was then added.

                            Gems and trinkets were added to all cards and glitter glue applied for sparkle.

49 and Market Layout - The Sweet Life and Lovely Moment

 Hello

Continuing on with the next 2 pages from this album using 49 and Markets ARToptions Rouge Ephemera Bits, you will notice my frames are all empty as I have not yet decided the purpose for the album.

The background papers throughout the album are all from a selection of Fabscraps 8x8 Mini Booklets - High Tea, Classic Collection and Heritage Collection 38A. I have had these booklets for quite a while so was very excited to be able to use these here!

I will return soon, with the next 2 pages and more details.

Enjoy your day!
