Scrap Class LO # 5

This was a fun page to do, I used Lay Out # 5 from my Folder. I used a piece of DSP over a Plain piece of Card stock. The DSP has punched out scallop circles and a large circle that was hand cut. 

Below are shot of different areas on the page, there are six different spots that I'd like to share what I did.

This is the cupcake, punched out using the "Cupcake Builder" punch from Stampin' Up!

I coloured it with the Blendabilities Pens, the  New Alcohol based pens, from Stampin' Up! they are great to use for shading. I used the "Candy Dots" for 'sprinkles' and cut out the candle and cherry to place on top.







Here is the 'cake' also coloured using the Blendabilities Pens, then fussy cut and placed onto a blue punched out circle. You can also see one end of the tag where I used Chevron ribbon threaded through and bakers twine to tie it together.

Here you can see the Scallop circle punched out of the DSP and then images stamped in the cutout.


The balloon was stamped onto the DSP and again on a piece of Whisper White card stock, coloured in and fussy cut and placed back onto the stamped image, with a dimensional to raise it.

This image shows the bottom left corner with buttons that have Rhinestones in them that have been coloured with the small end of  a Blendabilities Pen. It's great to have these pens in the catalogue now. 

here you can see that the inside of the large circle has background stamping and the balloons which has one fussy cut out, raised and coloured.

this image shows the crowns with Rhinestones some of which have been coloured.

                                                                           

And here is the finished page.

thanks for visiting, I hope you leave a comment and come back often.

Todays Scrap Class

Buttons & Bows is what this Layout is called, and # 23 in my collection of sketches I have created.

The techniques for this class were using Simply Pressed Clay from Stampin' Up! to create buttons, then colour them with a stampin write marker, to suit the page we were working on. 
Mine are coloured Midnight Muse. 

The light blue buttons are also Midnight Muse ink from the Stampin' Write Marker,  I could have added more colour and kneeded it in however I like the paler colour; if I had had a reinker I would have use drops of ink which would have intensified the depth of colour, I only used the 'brush' end of the pen and rolled it over the ball of clay, kneeding it in each time.

I also have Buttons made from using the Big Shot and Sweet Buttons Embosslits.

Another technique we used was making bows using the Envelop Punch board. I saw this technique on U-tube; check out how Narelle Fasulo makes them here on the video  ....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTSbH_p4hCM

I hope I have inspired you to try the clay if you haven't already, it is so fun to use and great therapy as well as fine motor skills and finger exercise :)

Have a great weekend
