"Fishing" scrapbook layout + process video by Louise

Hi Scrap Friends

Louise here of Timeless Craft Mumma

Today I'd like to share a mixed media layout + process video with you.

"Fishing"

I've got a mad keen fisherman husband and that spills over to our boys.

So when I saw this chipboard I knew I had the perfect layout in mind.

Check it out here

My preparation of the chipboard started as adding a layer of acrylic paint and I was going

to clear emboss over the top ...

however, I accidentally grabbed the white embossing powder instead of the clear!

So back to the drawing board - I ended up heating the white embossing and then adding

two more layers of embossing powder to get the final product.

I've made a video sharing  how I created this layout.

I've used the Oblong Stencilit and I have to tell you how impressed I am with the stencils.

They are tough but flexible and mediums wash off them really easily.

Thanks so much for visiting.

You & Me

I decided to make a mixed media background for this page. Starting off with some structure paste on the big 12x12 A2Z Scraplets shape giving me real big round structure shapes. I combined it with smaller dots in different shapes using a Prima mask and structure paste. on top of this I added a thin layer of Gesso. Then I used a Stencilette and more structure paste to make the big round swirl blobs. The You & Me Word scraplet I covered with gesso and then stamped and embossed.  

I added some mist on the You & Me word and then I mounted everything exept the photo. I added mist in several colors and then I stamped with black to get some contrast to the page. I added the photo and finally some gesso to matt down the flowers and leaves.

I used this arrow stamp on the edges from the June kit and I just love the effect. I am planning to make it in several different sizes to play around with. Everything is possible when you have your own stampmaker.

A2Z Scraplets used:

Flourish 48

Hi

Caz here with you today to share a canvas I have been working on. Its packed with layers of texture paste and lovely stencilets and of course lots of yummy scraplets.

And some close ups. The Title word Dance was perfect for this canvas as the photo is from my daughters dance recital 2 years ago. I love the script titles.

The honeycomb scraplet is used below for some lovely texture.

                                      A different view of the many dimensions of the canvas.

 The stencilet I used in the top right and bottom left corners was perfect for this canvas I love the dimension and elegance it has added.

The products I used were:

And a couple of little extras that will be up in the store soon. I hope you have enjoyed my share today.

See you next time

November New Releases with Amy Prior

Hi everyone! Amy Prior back today to share some more inspiration using the amazing November NEW RELEASES from A2Z Scraplets. There are so many new releases that they are taking longer than expected to get them on the website but keep your eyes on the new releases section of the website daily for new additions. Click here for the NEW RELEASE SECTION of the website.

I actually have an incredible 18 layouts to share with you all so I won't get them all shared today because let's face it, that post would be huge and would be such an epic and awesome overload of inspiration so I will do half today and half next week.

Awesome & Fabulous

This first layout, titled Awesome & Fabulous used the seriously awesome new A2Z Scraplets Chipboard Shapes Arrows Mini - Set of 16 as well as the new Small Awesome & Fabulous Chipboard Titles. I have decorated the arrows using various spray inks and then a layer of Glossy Accents to give them an enamel appearance and the Chipboard title was given a coat of White Enamel Accents also by Ranger. I have also used the A2Z Scraplets Chipboard Large Starburst.

Cupcake Decorating 

For this next layout titled Cupcake Decorating, I have used the awesome new A2Z Scraplets Chipboard Shapes Fence 4 which I have covered with random thin amounts of Crackle Paint and then sprayed over the top with some Gold & Brown Lindys Stamp Gang Moon shadow Sprays. For this layout I have also used the fabulous Tree of Hearts Stencilet also from A2Z Scraplets using some Modelling Paste and then adding some Inka Gold rubbed over the top. The fabulous garden of flowers and papers used are all from Inkido Papercrafts Scandinavia and aren't they divine? Lots of fussy cutting brought this layout to life.

Epic & Awesome 

This next layout is using one of the new circle words available from A2Z Scraplets and is not yet on the website so keep an eye on the NEW Scraplets Section here for when it is uploaded. I have simply painted an Ombre effect onto this EPIC chipboard title using Liquid Pearls in White Opal & Peacock Green using a paint brush. I have also used one of the new release A2Z Scraplets Chipboard Mini Arrows on this layout which I have simply painted Black. I have also used the A2Z Scraplets Pattern 1 Stencilet on the background which I have smeared really random bits of modelling paste with and then rubbed some gelatos colour onto the texture.

Flower Arranging 

This next layout featuring my eldest Mia, learning the art of flower arranging, has used lots of the gorgeous new A2Z Scraplets Chipboard Mini Arrows that were all painted using Black Onyx & White Pearl Liquid Pearls in an Ombre Design. I have also used a few of the A2Z Scraplets Chipboard Shapes-Vine which I have misted with various shades of green sprays including Mint Heidi Swapp Color Shine & Fresh Lime Dylusions Ink Sprays. The random green colours give a fabulous illusion of shadows which I love. Just excuse the letter N missing from my title. It obviously fell off somewhere between my craft room and being photographed LOL

Good Time Start & End with you 

This next layout is using the uber cute new A2Z Scraplets Chipboard Shapes - Boy Girl which I have added texture paste to before misting with Blue & Black Dylusions Ink Sprays and then followed by drawing Gelatos over the top of the texture. On the background, I have also used the A2Z Scraplets Honeycomb Stencilet using some Texture Paste to help break up the repeated patterned paper.

Good Times 

This layout titled Good Times uses the fabulous new release A2Z Scraplets Shapes - Frames - Live Laugh Love and they are definately a new favourite of mine cause there are just endless possibilities for these! Here I have painted them with Gesso to prime and then added some Water Colour Paints to create a fun colour washed ombre effect. The papers used for this layout are from the Color Wash collection from Pink Paislee and I just adore all the little negative die cut bits in these papers.

Love Makes the World go Round 

This next fun layout is using the gorgeous new A2Z Scraplets Chipboard Love Makes the World go Round title which has been painted using Black Liquid Pearls for the bottom words and then the word LOVE has been coated in various shades of pink Flourish with a Bling Pearls underneath a coat of Glossy Accents to seal and protect the delicate placement of each pearl. I have also used the new release A2Z Scraplets Stencilet in the background which is not yet available on the website so be sure to keep an eye in the NEW SCRAPLETS section of the website here. I have used Black & White Crackle Paint on the background also doing random circles around my stencilet splatters which gave a really cool tide pool effect in the end.

Love This Life 

This next layout was created using another one of the A2Z Scraplets Chipboard Circle Words Love This Life and I have decorated this using a mixture of Impasto Medium with Lindys Stamp Gang Starburst Stain Spray Colours in a marbled effect.

School Pet 

This last layout to share today is using the fabulous new release A2Z Scraplets Mini Chipboard Arrows which I have simply coated with Ruby Red Liquid Pearls and then placed above the new release A2Z Scraplets Polaroid Frame with the gorgeous little cut out heart and alongside the fabulous new A2Z Scraplets Stencilet of splatters which I have used in the background with some Texture Paste. This stencilet and the polaroid frame are not yet on the website so keep your eyes on the NEW SCRAPLETS section here for these as they will be uploaded any day now!

WOW what a post and there is so much more inspiration to come over the next couple of weeks from our fabulous Design Team so stay tuned and don't forget that A2Z Scraplets now sell retail so head on over to our website and purchase the new releases direct today!

Until next time, happy scrapping!
