Enjoy the Ride: January Scrap Shotz Kit

Hello! 

Rosie back with a few more projects featuring the January Scrap Shotz kit. 

Wonderful Happy Day

The papers in this kit are so beautiful I didn't want to cut in to them so I decided to stretch them out by cutting leaves with the Altenew Leaf Mix Die set. I die cut all the overlay leaves from white card stock which I then inked with Altenew Minty Mint ink.

I splattered the background with white ink spray prior to adhering the leaves with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape.

The title is from the kit chipboard and I also added a few mint enamel dots from the kit.

Happy Birthday

There's a great selection of ephemera and chipboard in this kit so I combined them to create this birthday card. It's hard to see from this photo but I inked clouds in the sky and also a grassy hill along the bottom.

I layered the happy chipboard over the windmill which is adhered with foam tape. The kit alphas complete the sentiment.

Cherish Friendship

I had a lot of fun creating this layout! I misted mixed media card stock with Dylusions Black Marble Shimmer Spray and then die cut with the Altenew Ornate Cover Die. I also die cut one of the patterned papers with the same die and used them as photo mats behind the photos.

After placing the blue paper at the top of the card stock I filled in the rest of the page with Enjoy the Ride washi tape. Your kit includes 1/3 pack of washi tape, I picked up the Washi Tape Add On and used all of the tapes here.

The layout has been embellished with the kit chipboard and ephemera and I created the hanging line for the birdcages from enamel dots and pen details.

So far I've done 3 layouts and 2 cards and barely made a dent in the kit so that means more crafting with this great kit!

January 2020 Scrapshotz Kit - Darcelle

Whenever you have Prima Marketing papers to work with, you have to expect lots of blooms. This "Darcelle" paper collection is no exception. I chose to create my first layout with this kit for my granddaughter's school photo, so the flowers fit and were gorgeous on it. I fussy cut the top corner spray and the bottom blooms from the second sheet of the same paper and mounted these on foam. I used some of the ephemera pieces and cut out some of the quote panels from another sheet. I mounted some of these on foam and turned up the edges on others.

 

Here is another photo that shows some of the variety of layers and textures.

For my second layout, I wanted to showcase the versatility of the line by creating a more masculine layout, this one for my oldest grandson. 

Once again, I used foam squares and a little distressing to get the dimension I wanted. There are so many great quotes in this kit, the hardest part was choosing which to use.

 

 I have some more projects coming up with this beautiful kit, so look for that in the next couple of days. 

Thanks for stopping by!

January 2020 Kit: A Sketch Layout and Beautiful Journey

Hello!

Rosie back, with a couple more kit projects featuring the latest Scrap Shotz kit: Darcelle by Prima Marketing.

This layout is based on this Creative Scrapbooker Magazine sketch:

I love a grid design so this was a fun sketch to work with. I started by choosing 5 photos from a day trip we took to Lake Louise, AB and trimmed them down to 3"x3". I then cut seven 3.5"x3.5" photo mats and matted the photos, a journal block and a journal card with a quote included in the kit.

Here's a close up of the top right side of the layout and below is a close up of the bottom right with the journal block.

I have embellished the layout with chipboard pieces from the kit along with blooms from the kit.

Here you can see the journal card with the quote "in between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed.".

The black glitter Thickers in the kit were perfect for the title and I added some gems and enamel dots to embellish the title area as well.

This large floral arrangement is fussy cut from the "Everything is Figureoutable" sheet. I added the off white bloom included in the kit. I love how this wintery layout came together thanks to this awesome sketch.

Next up is a project inspired by a fabulous Nathalie Desousa  layout in the Winter 2019 edition of Scrapbook and Cards Today.

I loved the angles on the inspiration layout and mimicked them here but in a vertical orientation as opposed to the horizontal orientation in the inspiration layout.

I hand cut the waves in the various kit papers and layered them over each other along the top right and mid-bottom left.

I matted the photo on patterned paper, card stock, then patterned paper again and placed it at the top right spanning the angled "borders".

I fussy cut blooms from the "Born to Make History" paper and placed them around the photo mat along with chipboard pieces and some of the kit stickers as well.

I created the title with the 'beautiful' puffy word stickers and a chipboard piece.

I've created 3 layouts so far and have five 12x12 sheets and two 12x12 sheets with only a 3.5"x3.5" square cut out of them. Lots of product for more projects so I'll be back to share those later this month.

Stay tuned to the blog as the team have LOADS of inspiration to share with you!

Happy Crafting!

Just A Little Lovely: September Scrap Shotz Kit

Hi All!

Rosie here and I am super stoked to share some of my projects created with the fantastic September kit. This kit is so awesome and versatile, I created 5 layouts and 6 cards. I had to force myself to stop working with it as I have a number of other projects I needed to complete by yesterday, lol 😊.

First up is this layout based on this Creative Scrapbooker Magazine September sketch:

I fussy cut the flowers from this sheet of paper:

Literally fussy cut the.entire.sheet, my fingers were a little numb by the time I finished😂.

I have layered the fussy cut blooms over some of the gold foiled acetate die cuts and then watercolored some of the white blooms with Nuvo Shimmer Powder.

I then incorporated the phrase stickers into my journaling.

The layout is finished off with a title created with the puffy alphas included in the kit and a tab from the die cut add on.

These patterned papers have a gorgeous water coloured like side and this next paper was perfect for my sunset photo:

I die cut yellow and pink leaves using a Silhouette cut file and my Cameo machine. I then applied Gina K Glitz Glitter Gel over the leaves through the Altenew Feathered Leaves stencil.

I placed the die cuts and embellishments within the same color on the patterned paper.

I used the kit puffy stickers, kit embellishments, paper strips from other projects and die cut add ons to embellish the layout, adhering most with foam tape to add dimension.

Can you tell how much I enjoyed these gold foiled acetate die cuts? They are so easy to work with, I added liquid glue and then rubbed it around with my finger and once it dries you can not see any adhesive at all.

I cut banners out of the patterned papers and inked the edges with Black Soot Distress Ink and a mini ink blending tool. The kit included pink card stock is inked with Distress Oxide Spun Sugar and  Abandoned Coral ink to create a peachy shade and the edges are inked with the black soot distress ink. The background was splattered with Blue Blitz Nuvo Shimmer Powder.

Much more inspiration to come, thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

More Good Things with the February 2018 Scrap Shotz Monthly Kit

The sketch inspired me to make a couple of 5x5 cards with my leftover pattern paper from the February 2018 Scrap Shotz Monthly kit.

A close up of the dimension on the card is made with the fussy cut butterflies.

If I am making one card, why not make two? Here is another take on the sketch using my leftover pattern papers.

I love how versatile the "More Good Things" by Vicki Boutin. Here is a layout celebrating my daughter's 16th birthday. That watercolour inspired background is stunning!

And a close-up of the accent cluster - I am so smitten with the glitter phrases and mini foam letters.

Hope this post inspired you to create - give Vicki's More Good Things a go!

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!
