Decorated box by Judith Armstrong

Good morning A2Z fans. Judith here to share with you something a little different from me. I decided to decorate a box using A2Z Scraplet chipboard and stencils.

I started with a plain brown papier mache box. I undercoated it with gesso and then painted it with pink acrylic paint.  I added some hearts to the sides of the box using the A2Z Scraplets Heart in Hearts stencil and some coloured texture paste. I decided the hearts looked a little to bright so dry brushed some more gesso over them and the pink paint. I also added some pink velvet ribbon to the edge of the lid.

The A2Z Scraplets Heart of Hearts Shape just fit perfectly on the heart shaped doily which I adhered to the lid of the box. I stenciled a couple of hearts through the stencil onto hearts on the chipboard. 

Then I set about embellishing the top with lots of flowers, some beads, butterflies and a sentiment.

Thanks for looking

A share from our Guest Designer Paula

Our Guest Designer this month is Paula Perry. Paula has shared another fabulous layout with us again. " 'Hello sunshine' - I loved the design of this Fading Circular Dots Stencil & I thought it worked perfectly with the 'sun' theme of my photo. It was important to me to not overwhelm either of these elements, so I used the paint in the background like a photo mat to bring out the yellow in the photo."

A close up of Paula's layout.

Some come in sets and I have not used the full set on the layout. But that is the awesome thing about sets, you get more for your money AND can use them all on 1 layout or on many.

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!

A Moment In Time

Hello, I am here today to show you a layout I did for a challenge a little white ago. It was a sketch one.

Here is my layout:

This is my youngest daughter and me on her Naming Day

I have used a stencil from A2Z range with a some texture paste

The title scraplet was gessoed and painted black with Kaisercraft paint. Then I put a bit of paper under the 'in' to make that word pop a bit

The black heart I did the same as the title.

And there you go, a simple but effect way to use scraplets. Here is what they looked like:

(I just used the heart, the swirls I have used on another layout)

 And the stencil

Head HERE for the shop, remember anyone can buy from there!!!

Also don't forget this months challenge, you still have a few days to enter

Thanks for looking
