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.

September Scrap Class

From my inspiration folder LO # 33 Vellum Tubes. I haven't got any writing on this page yet, I need quiet time to remember the day and write words that will trigger the memories of my sons, here they are aged 3 years and 1 year. they are so huggable aren't they? OR maybe I'm bias ! anyway what we did was, wipe a squeesed tea bag over the vellum;  Let the Vellum dry and then stamp with Gorgeous Grunge stamps and a variety of colours,  I used Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Calypso Coral and Cajun Craze, because they blended with my photos and the theme of the page. I used a 2" circle to punch out the shapes then rolled them around a biro.

I put up the display in the window at the Post Office in the Village, the Stampin' Up! Bright's 
Colour Collection against a black background looks great. I had help from two of my children, a Friend and Aunty. We were there with Dad's staple gun, which is the heavy duty one, and hard to use, taking turns at stapling things to the board....admiring our work and checking the level of each piece of work, some were a bit off and had to be re-stapled!!! 


I use some of the swaps from Convention, because I didn't have time to reinvent the wheel, [or in this case cards!!!]...so if you see yours, thanks for sharing.

Here is the finished effort, a bit of reflection in the window....on the left, there are Scrap pages on the wall and rolls of the Pattern Stack 12 x 12 pages down the bottom the banner reads -
"stamps" "big shot" "punches".


Unfortunately the time has come to take down the display, it has been up since 2nd July and will be taken down tomorrow, 26th July. 
thanks for stopping by, happy crafting
