Photoplay - Oh Canada 2

Hello everyone!

Today I am sharing a layout and a few cards created with the Photoplay "Oh Canada 2" by Becky Moore that is available in the Scrapshotz store here: Oh Canada 2

I used the flip side of the "Ice Rink patterned paper for the background. On top of that I glued a piece of Simple Stories cardstock. My photos are matted on a couple of pieces of other papers from the collection - also the B sides of "Toques" and "I Love Canada." I used a strip of the woodgrain to create a banner across the page. I used pieces of the sticker strip from the collection stickers to embellish the banner, only putting the sticker where it was visable as I only had one 12 strip and I wanted it top and bottom. It didn't go under the photo mats.

My title was created with "Letterman" flocked thickers, Doodlebug "Loopy Lou" alpha stickers and wooden letters, all from my stash. I colored the wooden letters were colored with Metallic Gilding Polish. I accented the page with bits of ephemera and stickers. Most were popped up with foam squares. The main photo was also popped up for a bit of dimension, too!

I love to spend time in the evenings coloring images. Sitting in the living room in front of the tv, I colored some of the images from the Moose and Bear stamp set from this collection. Here are a few cards that I made with them. How cute is this ice fishing bear? 

 And the moose with the syrup bottle?  Those curling rocks!!!! ❤❤❤

I loved the curling rocks so much I wanted to give them a card of their own. To create the ice surface, I covered a sheet of cardstock with a thin layer of glaze, giving it a shine with a bit of a "pebbled" texture. I die cut a set of rings with my circle dies and die cut the "you" from an older die set. Then I used thickers for "rock." So much fun!

 Have a look at the Scrapshotz website for more from Photoplay and this collection. There's a cute little beaver hockey player stamp set that may find it's way to my scrap room! Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Paper Rose - Nature Paper Collection

Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing my cards that I created with the Paper Rose - Nature collection. This paper is amazing. Once I started using it, I just kept finding new ways to use it. I was able to create masculine cards, sympathy cards, fall cards, kids cards and some feminine cards, too.

I created some fancy fold cards, a Z fold and a card using the Lawn Fawn Shutter Card dies.

This paper is a great weight and quality, and it can take lots of different techniques without showing weakness. Here I added some blooms and brads, and on the other I splashed on some Cosmic Shimmer Opal Blaze for sparkle.

 

 It was awesome for using various embossing powders. There are plenty of embossing powders here in the shop. Embossing

I used some Cosmic Shimmer Opal Polish through a stencil on some, and the paper took it very well! For two of these cards I used these Paper Rose Bamboo Stencil and Paper Rose Hexagon Swirl Stencil.

 

 

 

I did some dry embossing on the Thank you card. The paper is so detailed, it's hard to tell in the photo that only the light brown checker plate is actually raised.

I used different die cuts and elements from my stash. Every sheet of this paper has such great texture!

The paper pad is A5 sized and a couple of the patterns are full pages and worked for slimline cards.

Some of the paper was almost too pretty to cover, like this one with the drawers. No embellishment needed!

I made 30 cards with this single pack of paper, and still have a few part sheets left. I used various bits and pieces from my stash to embellish and decorate my cards, so if there's something you'd like to know about, just ask. It was fun!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend.
