Remembering my mom....

Hello, it's Teresa here today to share a project I did with some fun Butterfly and flower laser cuts from my GSLC stash.  I wanted to create a pretty box to keep some of the special things I got from my mom this past year and I really had a lot of fun with the pieces this time trying something new.

So to begin making this project I started with papers from Graphic 45 and covered the chipboard box really simply with layers of the papers like you see above.  I used a double sided tape for mine but a good glue stick will work well too.  I love Pioneer personally, it doesn't leave any bubbles and i love that.

Then I used clear light green ink and inked 1/2 of all of the flowers I picked out from the "Flower Stackers" set.  I used a fun metal melt embossing powder over it and they came out really pretty and textured.

I also did the same with the "Scribble frame butterfly".  I used a lighter shade for the wreath and then a deeper and richer version of the same for the other butterfly to make it stand out.  You can see it really good on the photo below.  Be sure if you do these and use a heat tool, it's best to hold it with tweezers while you heat it so that it doesn't burn your fingers.  

Some of the flowers I just chalk inked in white and then added a bit of the clear embossing enamel to it.  And after I put everything on the frame the way I wanted it and glued it I finished the flowers with tiny pearls that I had in my stash.  (The paper flowers are fussy cut from the G45 set)

I didn't put a title on the middle yet but I think "Memories of my Mom" will be what I end up doing.  These are her favorite colors and that is part of the joy to make special things because you can customize them so that it really brings back amazing memories for you.

Hi all! Amylove here! This is an example of how I plan things out in my head and they turn out nothing like I imagined! It wasn't until I added the Radiant Rain colors that I fell in love with this piece.

Magic In The Air by Barb Black

Summer is always a mixed bag for me. I can't stand hot temperatures, but I do love some of the pretty aspects of it. Like flowers blooming and winged things flitting about. So, in one of my more "Be Kind to Summer" moments, I was inspired to do the above piece.

I began with a 5 x 7 canvas that I covered in gesso. While still wet, I smooched a piece of iridescent punchinella (also known as sequin waste) into the paint -- the gesso acts as glue as it dries.

After the canvas was dry, I stamped on it with stamps from RubberMoon, using yellow and pink craft ink. I also smeared around some blue StazOn Studio Glaze and gave it a spritz or two of blue irRESISTibles.

I coated the butterfly circle and extra butterfly with blue irRESISTibles and, while still wet, sprinkled on blue glitter and gave them a spritz of white irRESISTibles.

When everything was completely dry, I glued it all together. Now I have a pretty little reminder that Summer, even with the obnoxious heat, is sometimes not so bad at all.

Scribbled Frame Layout

Big hello to all of you in blog-land.

Shanna here with a layout I created with some new colors in my stash.

I played with the Butterfly Scribbled Frame. I colored it with my black Gelato and then after using some embossing ink and Black Soot Distress Embossing Powder.

I love the pop of the black on the chipboard. 

I used flowers, stamps, and embossing paste to help embellish the rest of the layout. 

I love the dimension of the embossing paste and the looks of the embossing powder on the chipboard. Texture is just amazing isn't it?

Simple Pleasures

Hello friends!  Debbie with you today sharing a summery layout I did with some fabulous Gina's Designs Laser Cuts.  Recently I visited our Botanic Gardens and it always has something to offer as a photo opportunity. I found this beautiful butterfly making it's away around all the beautiful flowers so I snapped a few photos.  I knew this would end up on a layout and I knew Gina's had so many beautiful frame pieces to embellish this photo.

The frame I chose to use is called Scribble Frame Butterfly.  I simply embossed the frame in gold and embossed the dragonflies in copper.  I adhered some seed beads to the body of the butterfly

Hi everyone! Melissa here for Gina's Designs. This is a photo of family in New York meeting my son for the first time.

I think the beautiful chipboard I used worked well with the page. I first prepped the pieces with gesso. The butterfly and flowers that are blue-green are painted with Lindy's Stamp Gang. I  brushed some gold Pearlex powder on the butterfly wings.

 The silver flowers are a few layers of Twinkling H20s and  pearlex powders over texture paste. I had made the lines in the wet texture paste with a straight pin. The top coat is silver leaf paint, with a little gold pearlex brushed on. The little fern frond is first green chalk ink with some Utee sprinkled on and heated. I brushed silver Pearlex on, then a little gold leaf paint.

Thanks for looking!
