Scrapbook Sketch inspiration Page - Stampin' Up! Scrapbooking Global August 2020 Blog Hop.

Thanks for joining us for this months hop (August 2020) showcasing some great pages inspired by the sketch below. This month it is Sharni's choice of theme and personally I love it!

This is my page. I wanted to scrap these 3 photos of this dance that my girls were in - seems like ages ago that there has never really been the right DSP for. The dresses are a colour that is Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point blended together. Snowflake Splendor in this years Holiday catalogue mini is perfect well except for the snowflakes but they ended up working for me.

I turned the sketch on it's side to make fitting my photos in way easier and moved my title over to the other 'blank' space and popped the journaling in the smaller area because I didn't have a lot to say. I then pulled out my favourite Very Versailles and toned down the snowflakes with leaves and script in Pacific Point and Misty Moonlight ink. 

      

The layering behind the photos is DSP from the 6x6 Feels Like Frost packet - you can barely see where it overlaps. I love this DSP with its real life frost images on one side and silver foil / white patterns on the backs.

     

     

Oh my gosh the blue adhesive backed gems in the Snowflake Splendor Suite are just beautiful and add a little bling to this page just the way I like it.

I pulled out Christmas Layers Dies to get some textures with the flourish type pieces in there but will admit I avoided the snowflakes though even though I love them.

Rainbow Glitter Coloured 21st Birthday Card

Something sparkly and rainbow glitter for a 21st - can't go wrong with this combination. I used the new Stampin' Up! Rainbow Glimmer cardstock for this super special birthday card.

I loved how this worked out on my last card so needed to use it again. The new stamp set Happiest Of Birthdays teamed up with the Stamparatus and boom you have the option to colour all the words in different colours! You will see this example in the catalogue using 3 colours. If you use different colours start with your palest colour then colour each word saving the darkest til last. Huff on it then stamp - your breath re-wets the ink.

Stampin' Up! Embossing Folders - SBTD Blog Hop July 2020

Welcome to this months SBTD hop with the theme Embossing folders - I have chosen to feature the Greenery Embossing Folder that is part of the Forever Greenery Suite.  If you have joined me from Judi's page or you are starting here please hop through and see what the participants have to share - there is some amazing inspiration among our hoppers.

I have use the Greenery Embossing Folder on the Vellum to add  some texture to the back of my featured sentiment. The vellum allows the underneath colour to show through in a subtle way.

     

The Greenery Embossing Folder bundle features 2 folders that are approx 15.9 x 8.6cm in size so they will be perfect for the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine once it is released. 

The effect on the vellum is cool why not give it a go with your embossing folders - it reminds me of Parchment Craft that I use to do with a stylus - same effect but way quicker! 

Top Tip - adhesive shows through the vellum so be heavy handed under your embellishments that are on the top parts of the vellum. I attached the die cut leaves to the vellum first then I knew where I could pop the adhesive.

Monochromatic Scrapbook Page - Stampin' Up! Scrapbooking Global July Blog Hop.

Hi and welcome to the Scrapbooking Global monthly blog hop for July. The theme this month is Monochromatic Scrapbook pages and I will admit I have never done one before. If you have joined me from Maï's page or you are starting here please hop through and see what the participants have to share - there is some amazing inspiration among our hoppers.

So searching through my photos I picked one of my girls dance photos as it's been a while since I have done a dance page.

I was looking at the photos and went with the grey from the school shorts in these pictures so that’s my 'colour'. I picked Basic Grey 12 x 12 as my initial colour, added some white with our embossing paste and chalk marker. The black is from a combination of Memento and a sharpie because I didn't like how our black marker showed up on the dried embossing paste.

     

Not sure if it easy to see but before the Embossing paste dried I pulled out our Brick embossing folder and I pressed it into the wet embossing paste just making the impression of the bricks - it looks a bit like the back of a schoolyard wall. The dance is called Naughty School Girls. After I had done the embossing paste I wanted to try and make it more school Yardie - if that is even a word! So I was planning some graffiti on the brick wall but am I’m not very good at graffiti and didn't want to add another colour - man read would have looked smick!

I have added the stamp sets to the bottom of the resource list essentially because you can grunge up your background with whatever you have that works. The oil smudge from Garage Gears comes out here frequently for that!

Thanks for visiting please leave a comment below as i love to see what you think. Next in the hop is Sherry all the way over in Canada - only way we can visit is virtual at the moment, I am looking forward to what she has to share.
