Scrap Page Featuring Forever Blossoms By Stampin' Up!

I teach a scrap class once a month and like to focus on a particular Stampin' Up! product that suits the technique we are using.

This month I decided on the techniques of stamping off, masking and sponging.

I printed my photo in sepia tones.

Sometimes the decoration on a page can overwhelm the photo, so I've kept this quite simple. I used some doilies as masks, sponging over them with Smoky Slate ink, then stamping off doily images starting with full strength Smoky Slate.
The blossoms are from the Parisian Blossoms stamp set that forms part of the Parisian Blossom Suite

Scrap Page Embellishments With To A Wild Rose Bundle

Scrap book pages can be works of art. They are created with love and are lasting reminders of events in our lives. I have used "To A Wild Rose" stamp set by Stampin' Up! to create the main embellishments for this page.

Each month I hold a scrap class where I provide a scrap map and a number of suggestions for the participants to create around that map. This month we were tasked to use one of the many beautiful Designer Series Papers that Stampin' Up! has provided in the 2019 - 20 Annual Catalogue.

I chose one of the gorgeous papers from the Perennial Essence pack. I love the colours and the homage to Monet in these designs, and the paper colours worked perfectly with my photo.

Along with the To A Wild Rose images I used First Frost and dies from the Flourish die set. It's great when you have a selection of dies and images to choose from and with Stampin' Up! you can be sure to find something that coordinates really well.

I finished off the design with a large "M" the first letter of this little one's name. I cut this with the Large Letter Framelits - cutting the M 4 times and adhering one on top of the other to make it sturdy. The M was cut in Purple Posy card stock and enhanced with Wink of Stella glitter pen.

If you don't have a lot of time and still love to create scrap pages, you might think about using some of the beautiful Stampin' Up! Designer Series papers as a base. There is a huge variety to choose from and you can see all of them at my on-line store. If you live in Australia and would like to purchase products you are most welcome to do so via my store.

Until Next Time

Happy Crafting!

April Scrap Page Layout.

Hi Scrappers! Welcome to my April Scrap page design.

I decided to keep it simple this month and use mainly card stock, Designer Series Papers from Stampin' Up! and a little bit of stamping.

I had in mind the technique of Faux Embossing where you cut out shapes in the same colour as the background and adhere them to create texture. As you can see I've loosely interpreted this technique. I wanted to add a little interest so I used tonal colours and the fabulous Gingham Gala 6 x 6 inch patterned paper.

I'm in love with Stitched Framelits of all sizes and find myself constantly using them for cards and scrap pages. Perhaps it's because I used to be a mad keen sewer, but they are simple to use and give a great effect.

This is my layout.

I decided all the geometric shapes needed a little softening, so I used this retired Stampin' Up! stamp that has some lovely little stitched areas in the design. I stamped it full strength and half strength, by stamping a second time without re-inking. I really like the contrast of the flowing lines and the geometric shapes.

The colour palette is

Night of Navy

Balmy Blue

Soft Sky (retired)

Highland Heather

Whisper White

I hope you enjoy the layout and perhaps will give something similar a try. I've listed the products used below and if you live in Australia, you are welcome to purchase them from my On-Line Store
