How To Layer Your Scrapbooking Elements using Doodlebug Design & Video

Hello! Karla back again today with two more layouts using the adorable Doodlebug Design Winter Wonderland collection, the Marvy Snow Marker and the Wild Whisper Strength Of The Season Sequins. Sometimes it's hard to figure out how to incorporate several different designs of papers as well as all those cute stickers and ephemera, but if you take it step by step it really isn't hard at all! I've made a video, linked below, where you can see the process I use to layer up all these fun elements - AND show you how easy it is to use the awesome Snow Marker!

In the first layout you can see how I use various patterned papers - with a base of white cardstock. The green paper with white snow and the sweater print paper are both a more subtle pattern and let the moose border and SNOW cards shine!

I added some Distress Oxide Ink around the edges of some of the elements to give them a slight shadow. The Floral Spice Thickers complete my title. PS They are on sale!!

I layered on sticker words on top of the 3x4 card from the cut apart sheet and the pink snowflake, and then even added a few more pops of colour with the sequin mix.

I glued down the cute moose from the Odds & Ends pack and then popped up the Love This sticker from the 12x12 sticker sheet using foam tape. A tiny heart sticker from the cardstock sticker sheets is then added on top of that!

For the next layout I added in some mixed media in coordinating colours using Distress Oxide Sprays. You can see how this layout comes together in the video below!

Don't forget you can unscrew the Distress Oxide Sprays and use the nozzle for a more direct splatter effect. I also used some plastic packaging and did a smooshing technique for the background layer.

The Marvy Snow Marker is really fun to use and creates highlights, texture and dimension. The key is to let it dry slightly after applying and then carefully heat while keeping your heat gun moving. You can easily add a second layer for even more snowy goodness!

I had so much fun layering and adding pops of colour on this layout!!

Here's a look at the VIDEO where you can see just how I put this layout together!

Thanks so much for stopping by! It's Family Day weekend here in Alberta, and I hope you enjoy the long weekend coming up if you have one too!

New Product- Doodlebug Winter Wonderland Layouts

Hello! Karla back today with two cute, wintry layouts to share with you using the adorable Doodlebug Design Winter Wonderland collection, a very cool Marvy Snow Marker and the Wild Whisper Strength Of The Season Sequins. I think I’ve come to terms with the fact that a majority of our year here in Canada is chilly and snowy, so why not use super cute supplies to scrap those winter pics?!! I love the colours in this collection, and I totally feel happier just seeing the adorable animals on my pages! 💙💜💙

We recently took Erica sledding on a hill near our house and of course she had a blast! I only went down the hill once and that was enough, lol! I decided to use the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine February Sketchy Challenge as inspiration for this layout. 

I matted my photos with purple and blue cardstocks and layered them on a white background. I added some coordinating snowflakes using a Kraftin' Kimmie stencil and inks. I then added Floral Spice Thickers to the top of the Odds & Ends diecut to create a fun title.

The Marvy Snow Marker is really fun! You simple dab it any areas you want to add 'snow' to, let it dry, and then heat with a heat gun. It almost immediately starts to puff up! On areas that I wanted even more dimension, I added a second coat. This was so fun!

These cute little guys are so happy and sweet!! The Wild Whisper Strength Of The Season Sequins matched so well that I had to add them to the page. My fav glue for paper and embellishments is the Art Institute Glitter Adhesive, and the Metal Precision Tip makes attaching sequins so easy.

For my second layout, I'm using the SCT365 2020 Layout Class Sketch for February as my inspiration. I love the small 2.5" squares on one of the cut apart pages in the paper pack! Perfect for embellishing pages and making cards!

I used a sticker from the 12x12 sticker sheet in the paper pack to add a title and added some stickers from the cardstock sticker pack as well as more pretty sequins.

That Snow Marker was perfect again for adding puffy snow and marshmallow embellishments. I layered on some coordinating colours of Distress Oxide Sprays (linked at the bottom of the post) by using the nozzle to tap some ink onto a piece of packaging, adding a little water and then smooshing it onto my cardstock. I love the splattery effect!

How fun are these flower-like snowflakes from the Odds & Ends pack?!! 

We were all tired from our snowy adventure, but we had a great time, and now we get to relive those memories whenever we pull out the scrapbook!

It's December 1st!!

It's time to get Christmasy! It is already December 1st and my house isn't decorated yet but I do have and adorable card and ornament to share with you today! Using the adorable Winter Wonderland from Pretty Pink Posh and some Distress Oxides!

I started out with the ornament (and many failed attempts) but love how this little one turned out. 

Winter Wonderland stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh, some glittery paper and a two part ornament from the dollar store. Getting the parts inside the ornament was the hard part!

Distress markers to colour in the little winter people and I used the sparkle marker on the trim of the hats. A little sparkle is always a good choice.

Other side of the ornament, the igloo highlighted with some Emerald Creek embossing powder, the Soft Fallen Snow and Fractured Ice. Both available from the Scrap Shotz store.

 

After a bit of fussy cutting and some hot glue accidents I got the parts inside the ornament, then wrapped it with a silver ribbon to hang on my tree.

For this side I added a few sequins from  Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear, as pretend snow. I also added the sequins to the center of some of the snowflakes.

And side number two. I just love the igloo all on it's own.

  

The snowflakes from this set are so pretty! I want everything to have snowflakes. For the background of my card I just randomly stamped the different sizes of the flakes in Distress Oxides in Faded Jeans, Salty Ocean and Broken China. 

I just love the shades of blue in the Distress line! And a few more sequins for the centers.

Little bear on his sled, done in Candy Red and Hammered Metal embossing powder.

Mr. Penguin ready to shovel! This little guy is embossed with Salted Raven

The completed card! What a great set from Pretty Pink Posh, I am in love with this little penguin!

Thanks you all for stopping by and be sure to check out the supplies that are all available in the Scrap Shotz Online Store! There is still time to get an order in and get some cards made with these little guys.

Have a great weekend everyone! Stay warm and keep creating!
