LIVE in the MOMENT {SA CRAFTERS}

hello lovelies! 

today i would like to share one of my layouts i created as a design team member for SA CRAFTERS. and as usual, there is a video tutorial at the end of this blog post - 

"LIVE in the MOMENT"

for my background i used KAISERCARD coconut weave cardstock, SA CRAFTERS 6x6 fancy flowers stencil and different colours TIM HOLTZ distress ink pads {spun sugar, worn lipstick, milled lavender and dried marigold}. after the ink has dried, i sprayed my background with TATTERED ANGELS jack frost, denim and pink bubblegum glimmer mist. then i sprayed a bit of water to create the water drops effect.

for the frame around my page i used PRIMA marketing stitch cling stamp square and chalk fluid edger knotted wood.

for my title i used various sticker alphabets from PRIMA marketing - almanac collection and fairy rhymes collection cardstock stickers and fairy belle textured stickers.

to alter the lovely oval frame from SA CRAFTERS {chipboard flourish frame} i used pink and sage coloured embossing powder.

the pattern papers are from PRIMA marketing PRINCESS collection. for the heart die cut and the stripes i used TIM HOLTZ scribbles and splat thinlits die. i fussy cut the birds and the branches from the pattern paper and i coloured the mini white roses with pink distress ink.

the beautiful SA CRAFTERS wood flag sentiments i added to my page as they were, because i believe that the wood colour matches very well this paper line.

i used various MARIANNE design foliage dies to cut the leaves behind my flowers. the flowers are...  PRIMA of course - fiesta collection, pixie glen roses and mini roses.

and here is the YOUTUBE tutorail as promised:

THANK YOU for stopping by today!

have a wonderful creative week!

GIGGLE {SA CRAFTERS}

hello scrappy friends!

it is a lovely sunny day in HOLLAND and before i'm going out to enjoy a cup of coffee with my girlfriends, i would like to share my newest layout with you.

i created this one using the amazing products of SA CRAFTERS and as usual there is a step-by-step YOUTUBE tutorial at the end of this post.

"GIGGLE HAPPILY"

to create my layout i used KAISERCRAFT "garage days"collection, available at MERLY IMPRESSIONS online store.

for my background i used SPARE PARTS pattern paper, texture paste and SA CRAFTERS 6x6 chevron mix sides stencil. after the paste has dried, i sprinkled TATTERED ANGELS glimmer mist on top of it - SUNFLOWER and JACK FROST.

i used various die cuts from the COLLECTABLE pack and fussy cut elements from the pattern papers to embellish my page.

the pretty gear-clock corner is from SA CRAFTERS "chipboard gears and cameo" set, but i cut off the cameo to use on a different girly project. to alter the chippie i used VERSAMARK watermark ink and STAMPENDOUS "aged copper" embossing powder.

the gear wheels are also from SA CRAFTERS - "chipboard gears" set.

i also used one of the "wood flag sentiments" to create my title.

ALWAYS live full the life {SA CRAFTERS & 7 DOTS STUDIO}

hello crafty friends!

today is mu turn over at SA CRAFTERS' blog and i would like to share my newest creation + a video tutorial i made using their lovely designs! 

"ALWAYS live full the LIFE you have imagined"

my layout was inspired by 7 DOTS STUDIO february challenge "HEARTS": 

the challenge was really easy - just use HEARTS on your project! and if you ask me these pictures can carry a lot of hearts!

for my layout i mixed two paper collections from 7 dots studio:

"ALL I EVER"

"HOPEFULLY"

for my background i used the "love and be loved" pattern paper from "all i ever" and "dance with me" pattern paper from "hopefully". i cut out the swirly decoration and tucked the second pattern paper under.

i stamped the background with PRIMA marketing "doily" stamp and used SA CRAFTERS 6x6 arrow stencil to create the dimensional pattern around my pictures.

i used various chippies and wooden embellishments to decorate my layout. some of them i altered with black embossing powder, others with TATTERED ANGELS glimmer glaze "black olive".

the nice foliage is from SA CRAFTERS chipboard set "leaves no.1".

the small hearts are from the wood mini hearts sentiments set.

and of course there are a lot of hearts on my page - paper doilies,  wooden embellishments, stamped images and resin ornaments.

the lovely stickers are from 7 DOTS STUDIO all i ever collection.

the flowers are from PRIMA marketing:

#538934 fiesta flowers coral sea

#301033 e-line flowers pink

#556792 miss godivas blush

#556846 miss godivas marshmallow

#553036 gillian white

 and PETALOO - spring darjeeling colleciton.

for my title i used another chipboard set from SA CRAFTERS - chipboard title sentiment family always.

i stamped the subtitle with KAISERCRAFT "life sentiments" clear stamp.

here is a list with all the SA CRAFTERS products i used on my project: 

6x6 arrow stencil

SHINE canvas {CANVAS CORP}

hello crafty friends!

i've got a FANTASTIC NEWS to share with you today!

it is official - i'm joining CANVAS CORP BRANDS creative crew for the next year and i'll be creating side by side with the most amazing ladies!

to introduce ourselves and to help you get to know us better, each member of the crew created a 4×4 stretched canvas showing our personal style and what we like best.

here is mine - 

"SHINE"

for mine i choose light clean colours, shimmering silver and a cat! as you can guess i LOVE bright colours, glitter and shimmer and most of all i {HEART} cats! 

when my daughter saw this canvas, she liked it so much that she took is for her collection. and this is the best place any art with cats can be!

i used 4 x 4 stretched natural canvas. i sprayed the canvas with different colours GLIMMER MIST: patina and turquoise blue for the sky and sunflower for the sandy ground.

after the canvas has dried i stamped the harlequin frame using brown ink and SAVOR THE MOMENT cling stamp set. then i took the smallest stars from the SHINE cling stamp set, covered them with SILVER high impact metallic paint and stamped them randomly on my background.

then i drew the kitten on a white cardstock using FABER-CASTELL pitt artistic pen black and coloured it with  GLIMMER GLAZE black olive. to create the blue ribbon around his neck i used LIQUID PEARLS.

for the title tile I used mistable paper, which i sprayed with GLIMMER MIST sterling. after the mist has dried, i stamped the word SHINE using the SHINE cling stamp set and SILVER high impact metallic paint. after the paint has dried, i fussy cut the title by hand and inked its edges with black ink.

to die cut  the branches i used TIM HOLTZ' mini branch and leaf set and CCB e-flute craft tiles. once all of my embellishments were cut and dry, i attached them with 3d tape to the canvas.

here is a list with all the different CANVAS CORP products:

4 x 4 Stretched Canvas	Patina	Turquoise Blue	Sunflower	Sterling	Silver- Metallic	Black Olive
Savor the Moment	Shine	E-Flute Kraft Tiles
