Wedding Card - FabScraps - Memory Lane Collection

Hello Everyone

I created a wedding card for the lovely Karla Strydom, who recently got married at FabScraps.

I used the pretty Memory Lane Collection.

I fussy cut some of the pretty patterned papers and then paired this with some new and older FabScraps chipboard pieces.

Pop along here to view the entire Memory Lane Collection. ;-)

Thankful Mini Album - FabScraps Memory Lane Collection

Hello Everyone

I have another FabScraps project to share with you today!

It's a FabScraps overload at the moment...but all good I think! ;-)

I created a mini album with Memory Lane and I absolutely adore the end result.

I was able to fussy cut, to my hearts content! ;-)

I also had fun with my distress oxides and stamps to create the backgrounds.

Here is a close-up of the background.

To give you an idea of how I created this album, I also put together a tutorial.

For This Project You Will Need:

• FabScraps Memory Lane Collection paper: MC105 001A – Card Kit

• FabScraps Memory Lane Collection paper: C105 001, 002

• FabScraps Chipboard: DC105 001 Album, DC105 006 Die Cut Word

• Tim Holtz Distress Oxides: Iced Spruce, Worn Lipstick, Seedless Preserve

• White Gel Pen

• White pearls

• Die-Cuts: Medium Oval, Medium Rectangle, BoBunny Flourish, Butterfly, Sizzix Small Tattered Florals, Sizzix Framelits Die Set 5PK – Labels Fancy

• Crackle Stamp, BoBunny Sentiment Stamps

• Liquid Pearls Dark Chocolate

• Craft Mat

Instructions:

1. Die Cuts:

• Cut 3x Medium Oval die-cuts from the patterned papers

• Cut 2x Medium Rectangle die-cuts from the patterned papers

• Cut 3x Medium Rectangle die-cuts from the patterned papers

• Cut 2x Large Sizzix Framelits – Labels Fancy from the patterned papers

• Ink all the edges with Iced Spruce

2. Album:

• Dab lines of Worn Lipstick and Seedless Preserve on the craft mat. Spritz with water and then place the album pieces in the watery ink.  Keep moving the pieces round to soak up all the ink and also provide complete coverage. Allow this to dry.

• Add more of the 2 colours separately, again, over the album pieces. Allow to dry.

• Once completely dry, use the crackle stamp and Iced Spruce oxide to stamp over all the album pieces.

• Ink all the album edges with Iced Spruce oxide.

3. Fussy cut various flower clusters and bits and pieces from the patterned papers, to use as decoration.

4. Adhere the various fussy cut pieces, die-cuts and bits to each album page. Layer and raise some of the elements.

5. Colour the chipboard word with Iced Spruce oxide ink and once dry, outline with a white gel pen.

6. Add sentiment stamping with Iced Spruce oxide ink.

7. Add Dark Chocolate liquid pearl centres to the fussy cut flower centres and to the butterflies.

8. Add white pearls to the cover and outline the chipboard design with a white gel pen.

9. Add white gel highlights to the branch die-cuts.

10. All Done!

I really love how this little album turned out! ;-)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a fabulous day!

Grateful Mixed Media Tag - FabScraps - Memory Lane Collection

Hello Everyone

I really do love the new collection from FabScraps, called Memory Lane!

It really is just gorgeous! ;-)

I created a mixed media tag, with this stunning collection.

I have a step by step tutorial, which tells you how I created it! ;-)

For This Project You Will Need:

·         FabScraps Memory Lane Collection paper range : MC105 001A – Card Kit

·         FabScraps Stencil: DS089

·         Ranger Manila Tag

·         Grey and Purple Cardstock

·         Tim Holtz Distress Oxides: Iced Spruce, Peacock Feathers, Lucky Clover

·         Tim Holtz Distress Paint: Weathered Wood

·         Sizzix Thinlits Small Tattered Florals

·         White Gel Pen

·         White pearls

·         White Gesso

·         BoBunny die-cut: Darling Doily

·         BoBunny pearlescent: Chocolate

Instructions:

1. Sizzix Big Shot Machine:

• Cut 3x the flowers and the twigs, from the purple and grey cardstock

• Make various sized flowers and assemble the flower layers with glue.

• Tweak all the petal edges with a tweezer and then add gesso for highlights

• Cut a doily with the BoBunny die-cut and stripey paper from the card kit

2. Using the Fabscraps stencil, an ink sponge and the distress paint, stencil 2 feathers on the manila tag. Dab the paint gently onto the tag, through the stencil. Allow this to dry.

3. Using a white gel pen, add outlines to the feathers to make them stand out.

4. Using the distress oxides, colour the manila tag, with the different shades. Use circular motions with an ink sponge. Spritz with a little water and allow to dry.

5. Cut away a 3rd of the doily and adhere it to the right-hand side, of the tag.

6. Fussy cut leaves, flower clusters and individual flowers from the floral, patterned papers and ink the edges with distress oxide ink. Add dimension to these flowers and leaves with a rounding tool and foam mat.

7. Using double sided tape, layer these leaves and flowers around the tag.  Add some of the die-cut twigs into these clusters.

8. Add the handmade purple flowers to the central cluster. Add a pearl to the centres and highlight the edges with gesso.

9. Cut the “grateful” sentiment from the patterned papers, ink the edge with oxide ink and adhere to the tag.

10. Using the chocolate pearlescent, add some dots and detail to the fussy cut, flower centres.

11. All Done!

Here are some more close-ups.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I really hope you have a fabulous Monday!
