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

Steampunk Spells Layouts - Clock and Curious

 Hello

Continuing on with my album of 10 Layouts, below is pages 3 and 4. I have named these ones: Clock and Curious.

I have included a black cat, spiderwebs, bats and or spiders on every page!

I started with the base page, then layered with a smaller page which is the structure for all the other layers. Tucked in under this smaller page is a pocket which holds Journal Cards for adding details from the future photos. This was also a great way of using some of the ephemera from Graphic 45's Steampunk Spells range.

Back again soon with pages 5 and 6!

Thank you for visiting!

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.

Till next time

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
