Graphic 45 Sunkissed Collection #2

Hi there!

I'm back with a couple more projects featuring the Graphic 45 Sunkissed Collection.

This photo I took of the seal at Oak Bay, BC was my inspiration.  I had a vision of him "popping" out of the patterned paper. I started by using a very old wave stamp from Fancy Pants and embossing it with some Emerald Creek Baked Texture Embossing Powder in Deep Sea onto some cream cardstock.  This embossing powder gives a great shimmery texture to the solid stamp image. 

To complete my vignette, I fussy cut the turtles, starfish and sand dollar and mounted them with dimensional adhesive to give more dimension.  The vignette was finished with some Kaisercraft Wood Veneer piece, sequins and mist splatters.

For my next project, I made a quick and easy card using the Sunkissed 4x6 Journaling & Ephemera Cards.  The package comes with two of each card design.  I trimmed the base card to 4  x 5 1/4 and adhered it to a piece of cardstock.  I then fussy cut the flowers from the second card and matching the flower placement, adhered the flowers over the base with dimensional adhesive.  I cut a banner from cardstock and placed a sticker  over it for the greeting. I wrapped the flowers with string and sprinkled clear sequins.to finish it off.

This collection is so beautiful. Be sure to check it out in the store.

Thanks for looking!

Graphic 45 Sun Kissed Collection

Hi there!

The Graphic 45 Sun Kissed collection is so beautiful!!  The minute I saw the papers, I knew exactly which photos I would scrap.  This is not a two page layout, but companion pages.

I started with by fussy cutting the flower arrangement from the Sun Kissed paper.  Using some Nuvo Crystal Glaze, I added clear dimension to the "Sun Kissed" and some of the flowers. The photos were mounted on some of the coordinating 4x6 journaling cards.  

To give the cardstock some texture, I splattered the background with some Faded Jeans Distress Oxide  mixed with some water.  Then I inked the edges of the page with some Versamark and then sprinkled the edges with the new Baked Texture embossing powder from Emerald Creek in Deep Sea.

This embossing powder leaves a lovely distressed embossing.  I can see lots of uses for this product in the future!

I finished the layout with some wood veneer shapes from Kaisercraft and some Nuvo Drops in Midnight Blue.

My next page is pretty simple.  Just lots of layering, more fussy cutting and wood veneer shapes.  Once again, I used the journaling cards as photo mats.  The journaling is tucked into one of the photos on a tag that I cut from a journaling card.

The title is from some older Simple Stories alphas and the "Botanical Beach" was cut using my Silhouette and the Pacifico font.

I loved working with this collection and already have a few more ideas for scrapping the rest of my photos from this trip.

Be sure to check out the store for all the supplies!

Thanks for looking!

January Kit Release - Kaisercraft Documented Projects with Katelyn

Hey Scrap Shotz Fans!

Today, I'm back and sharing with you three more projects that I created using the fabulous January Kit which features Kaisercraft's "Documented" Collection. This line is filled with awesome masculine papers perfect for manly projects as well as vintage projects. 

To kick off my three projects, I created this masculine project using one of the Mini Clipboard from Tim Holtz's Idea-ology Line, some of the Kaisercraft Documented paper and Collectables as well as chipboard gears. Read below as I share with you how to recreate my altered mini clipboard at home.

To start, remove the hardware at the top of the clipboard. Choose three pieces of patterned paper from the Documented paper pack. 

You'll need to cut the following papers:

- Patterned Paper #1: 4 3/8" x 6 7/8"

- Patterned Paper #2: 4 1/8" x 6 5/8"

- Patterned Paper #3: 3 7/8" x 6 3/8"

Once the pieces of paper have been cut, round all four corners on each patterned paper piece. Distress the edges of each patterned paper and ink the edges using Bark Ink and a blending tool with foam. After the edges have been inked, Adhere the 4 3/8" patterned paper piece to the clipboard. Adhere the 4 1/8" patterned paper piece to the 4 3/8" patterned paper piece. Adhere the 3 7/8" patterned paper to the 4 1/8" patterned paper piece. Punch two holes at the top of the clipboard. Re-install the hardware at the top of the clipboard.

Place the words stencil on the right hand side of the clipboard. Start dabbing Emboss It Ink through the stencil, inking as much of the stencil as desired. Lift the stencil up and sprinkle Dirty Sand Embossing Powder over top of the stencil area. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with your heat tool.

From the ruler paper, cut two rulers out. Once ruler will measure 4" long and the other ruler will measure 3 3/4" long. Adhere the 4" ruler 2" from the bottom of the clipboard. Adhere the 3 3/4" ruler 1 3/4" from the bottom of the clipboard. Adhere a couple of collectables on the top right hand side of the clipboard.

In the bottom right hand portion of the clipboard, adhere four different collectable images.

Pick out a Found Relative and cut the card down to 2 5/8" x 5". Distress the edges of the card and ink the edges using Bark Ink and a blending tool with foam. Use foam squares to adhere the Found Relative 5/8" from the right of the clipboard.

From one of the strips at the bottom of the patterned papers, choose one of the sayings and cut it apart. Distress the edges of the sentiment strips and ink the edges using Bark Ink and a blending tool with foam. Adhere the sentiment to the left of the Found Relative.

Next you'll need four gears from the add on kit. Apply Emboss It Ink to each gear. Sprinkle Rocky Road Embossing Powder overtop of each gear. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with your heat tool.

Adhere one of the gears in the bottom right hand corner of the Found Relative Card. Adhere the other three gears in the top left hand corner of the Found Relative Card.

Here are a few closeup shots of the altered mini clipboard.

And here's the finished Whatever You Are, Be A Good One Altered Mini Clipboard.

For the second project out of the three, I created this fun quick and easy "Wander without Reason" card. 

To the left of the sentiment, I layered a couple of the rulers from the ruler paper. One ruler measures 3 1/4" long and the second ruler measures 3 1/2" long. The third ruler is from the collectables package. 

To finish off the card, in the bottom right hand corner, I layered five different elements from the collectables. 

For the last project using the January Kit, I created this masculine "Make Every Day Your Best Day" card. 

To add some extra interest and patterned to the ledger paper, I placed the Words stencil on the left hand side of the paper. With the stencil down, blend Bark Ink through the stencil on desired sections. Lift off the stencil. 

I stamped the ruler and the Make Every Day Your Best Day sentiment onto a ledger piece from the collectables packaged. Most of the elements on the card came from the collectables package. I layered in rulers from the ruler paper. The gears are embossed using Rocky Road Embossing Powder and then adhere using liquid glue. 

To finish off the ledger paper, I rolled the top right corner down and bottom left corner up.

January Kit Release - Project #2 from Julia

Hello & welcome back for day 2 of my January Kit reveal projects.

Today I have 3 cards that I made using products from this months kit and add-on's 

available at Scrap Shotz online store.

I used the brand new Baked Texture line of embossing powders from Seth Apter & Emerald Creek Craft Supplies. Watch for these embossing powders to be available at Scrap Shotz very soon!

~~~Make Everyday Your Best Day~~~

For the above card I used Patina Oxide, Dirty Sand, and Ancient Amber embossing powders.

Click below for the step-by-step tutorial video for the above card.

~~~Do Awesome Things Everyday~~~

1. To create the background for this card I first took the Stenciled Words stencil from the January kits and applied embossing ink with the Emboss-It Dabber. 

2. Next, after I removed the stencil, I sprinkled Ancient Amber Embossing Powder over the ink and heat set. 

3. I used the Charcoal Kaiser Mist to add some ink marks to the background.

~~~Do More Of What Makes You Happy~~~

1. I dry embossed my paper with the Riveted Metal Texture Fade from Tim Holtz & Sizzix.

2. I used my Ranger Emboss-it Dabber to coat my embossed paper before generously sprinkling the entire surface with Chunky Rust Embossing Powder. After pouring off the excess |I used a small brish to remove some the embossing powder from the edges before heat setting.

3. After heat setting I used a sanding block to expose some of the raised image.

Thank for dropping by today! Watch for more inspiration from the rest of the design team using the January Kit.

Cabin Fever is Right!!

Hello again everyone! It's Cathy here with my take on the December Monthly Kit sketch from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine. Here is the sketch we are following this month.

Here's my version of the sketch, featuring the Cabin Fever line from Carta Bella.

I used a picture that is about 7 years old, when my kids and I lived in Calgary and headed out to Zoolights.

I was afraid of the circles at first, since I do not have any of the cutting machines(just my handy Big Shot), but fear not.....there is much around your house you can use!! As you can see I had a variety of items to make my circles, and I heard from another DT member that pot lids are handy too!

A margarine lid, a cd and a lid from a Christmas banner.

For the background on my 12X12 sheet of blue, I used the TH stencil with white texture paste. Before the paste dried completely I sprinkled it with some Soft Fallen Snow embossing powder.

While I waited for the texture paste to dry, I inked all the edges on my circles.

Here are some of the details of the layout. The ephemera pack and the enamel dots are addicting!

The stay warm toque was cut out from one of the cards that comes on a 12X12 sheet in the paper pack.

I typed up my story and used the frame from the ephemera pack to highlight it.

Love the hint of sparkle and texture you can get just from adding a bit of Soft Fallen Snow embossing powder to texture paste.

I also did up a few more projects using the fantastic monthly kit.  I have two cards done up, using the cabin theme and the stickers that come in the paper pack. 

On this card I used one of the cut apart cards from the paper pack for the background and the cabin picture is also one of the cut apart cards. The cabin plaque is from the ephemera pack with a couple of enamel dots added.

To add a bit of sparkle on this one I used some Stickles along the roof and on the snow on the trees.

This card uses the cut apart cards as well and stickers from the paper pack. Loved the little cabin snowglobe and it fit just right on the pine cone piece.

And my last project for today is a small 6X6 canvas board done using the cut apart cards, and Distress Crayons for the edge.

All the snowflakes are done with patterned paper from Cabin Fever and the TH Thinlits Snowflakes.

A few enamel dots for dimension and one of the pretty amber brads for the center of "snow"

Did I mention I love the enamels dots?! They were perfect for the snowman's little cheeks.

Whew....that was a long one! Hope you all made it this far to see all the different things you can do with the amazing December Monthly Kit from Scrap Shotz!
