The October 2009 Kit

Here are some samples for the October kit in store NOW for just $39.95. I was able to get 4 layouts and 2 cards made from it and I still have a little bit of cardstock pieces left for other projects.

It was a bit of a challenge for me as I normally tend to use a lot of bright colours, however, this kit is just right for those black & white or sepia toned photos with a vintage type feel to them. The Collage Press die cut paper is lots of fun to play with and you can cut out different parts of it to create a 'clock' look or to outline the date the photos were taken, as I did. There is so much versatility with the chipboard circle borders that could go on any boy or girl layout. The new look embellishment at the moment is the flag streamers and the diamond patterned Rose Moka and spotty papers work perfectly for it.

So here are my creations, hope you like them :)

How to : Masking

Recently in my stash I found some beautiful butterfly lace cardstock that I wanted to use - but it didnt match my page.


So I thought I would have a play and use it as a template for paint. So I trimmed it down,

Then placed it on my page and covered with crackle paint {being careful not to move it} - - I did a test run first as I only had one PP and didnt want to ruin it - hence why my paper is white in the pic but patterned in the final pic - but your not supposed to notice that ;)


And Vua La! a custom mask

I also got creative and used Glimmermist on a chipboard frame........

Do You Feel LUCKY??

Another gorgeous ribbon pack

Hi there, Suzi Here. I have been lucky enough to have a play with one of the new ribbon packs(available in the shop soon).

The pack has 7 gorgeous pieces of ribbon including velvet ribbons, ric rac and trim.

I have created 4 layouts using the pack and still had some ribbon left over.

In this first layout I have used the gorgeous red and yellow ribbons which compliment these sassafras lass papers and American Crafts thickers(also provided by Arty Pants and available in the shop now).

I have looped the checked ribbon over and glued it to some buttons to create cute little embelishments.

I love the simplicity of these primary coloured ribbons on the white dotted swiss Bazzill(provided by ArtyPants and available in the shop now).

I have used a circle punch to cut out circles from the cardstock and then covered one with ribbon and raised with pop dots. Then I cut out the negative strip of cardstock and raised it above some strips of ribbon.

In this next layout I have used this beautiful ribbon to make a flower, by gathering the centre in to make a flower shape and then glueing the centre onto a piece of transparency and adding a pop dot to raise it. I have then used a ceramic embelishment in the centre. But you could use bling, buttons or smaller flowers to do this.

Last of all I have simply complimented this layout with 3 rows of ribbon in these lovely natural tones. Really simple but a nice effect I think.

Look out for these gorgeous ribbon packs in the shop soon
