Ballerina Cards

 

Robyn Leeanne from Scraptease here with 3 pretty cards.

I have used Stamperia Ballerina collection for these cards.

 

Little Ballerina

Hello my crafty friends

 My gosh this year is fast approaching the end.

My layout today features no photos but I hope it inspires you to use the Stamperia Ballerina range. It is stunning. 

Some of these papers I have to admit I do find a little intimidating, I really don't know what to do with them sometimes.

I have plenty of little girl photos but how can I use then and still make the paper visible in its beauty.

Well I have given it a go, I hope you like.

Step 1 

Fussy Cutting.

Yes fussy cutting.... I can hear you groan but sometimes its the only way to go.

I fussy cut the Ballerinas so I could mount it on top of itself on the page.

 Step 2.

I cut the second sheet of my papers I had chosen at the 6.5 inch mark.

Then scored a .5 inch from the edge pressed that back and glued the .5 inch about 2 inches in from the left edge of my first chosen paper

Step 3

I precut white cardstock to the required size for the photos.

I laid this out to get an idea as to where and how they would fit and look on the page.

Step 4 

On the right edge of the layout I stuck another piece of the first paper. This was about 3 x 4 inches then I scored it at the 3.5 inch mark, folded that and stuck to the edge of the right side of the second paper. This gave me extra space for 2 small photos.

Finally this was the layout of the page that I chose.

I have left space for journaling.

Step 5

Once construction and fussy cutting was complete it is time to decorate.

As these pages are already so beautiful and so as to not lose to much of that, I decorated very simply.

 You will notice the piece of string in a bow that ties the charm to the smaller flip out on the right edge of the layout.

Step 6

I mounted the fussy cut Ballerina over herself on the outside of the flip out part,

then added diecut hearts that were colored with some distress oxides and attached with glue.

This is the finished layout.

I hope this inspires you to grab some of this beautiful Stamperia papers and try them out.

sometimes "less is more"

Today I have for you as layout I did using Carina Sator's Hypster Style collection

This is a very pretty collection that lends itself to all forms of papercraft I think.

I really hope it gives you some new ideas to try in your own work.

Short and sweet this time :)

Finishing Off Collections - Mintay - Graceful Collection

  Hello my crafty friends

I hope we are all well and crafting our little hearts out.

I have heard on the grapevine that some people out there can be quite intimidated by the Mintay collections and yes they so beautiful that it seems a crime to cut them but they do make awesome layouts and cards.

I would therefore like to share with you some layouts that I have done recently to maybe help inspire you to have a go at creating with Mintay.

This is such a pretty collection and lends itself to all sorts of crafts. 

I hope these inspire you and help to make them less intimidating.

I have to say I did do a lot of fussy cutting for these. I know a lot of people don't like fussy cutting but having it all cut when you are ready to go does help the process somewhat.

Sometimes a little stenciling using pastes can soften a page that is very busy like the one above.

Again fussy cutting is great source of ephemera along with a great Dusty Attic title.

I hope you find inspiration in these. Have a happy creative day.

Stay tuned and stay creative

Ocean Breeze Cards

 Hello my crafty friends

I would like to show you some cards again made from leftovers of the Studio 73's Ocean Breeze collection.

I love that I was able to use the same collection for 3 very different cards.

Again I sat and fussy cut a lot of bits and pieces long before I decided what to do with them.

Love the little pelicans.

Balls, flowers, bicycles, posts and pelicans all fussy cut making it so easy to play with different configurations. 

Sometimes as they say less is more and in the case of these 3 cards that is correct as I did not use a lot of products.

 I didn't think that this collection needed it but you could always add what you liked for example a little bling or sparkle might look good.

I colored the title on this card with Distress Oxide in Marigold which blended beautifully with the colors of the collection.

Do you like the stitching on the strip under the title?

Lets go on a summer holiday. 

Do you know someone that is going on a holiday well wish them well with a card.

I used Distress Oxide in Marigold to highlight the edges of this card

I really enjoyed sitting in front of the TV making these cards. I am not by any means the greatest of card makers but I am happy with how these turned out.

 I really hope that they inspire you to make your own cards too.

These papers are available at https://www.craftontherun.net

I hope you find inspiration in these. Have a happy creative day.

Stay tuned and stay creative

Summer Retro Journal

Hello again my friends,

Today I would like to show you a journal that has been made with papers that were handed onto me by my friend. I wasn't really to sure what I could do with these  papers as they aren't really my cup of tea.

But then like most things we create an idea formed and BINGO this little video below is what I came up with. 

So don't get rid of those papers that you aren't fond of, you just never know what wonderful creations you can create with it or if you do hand them on make sure it is someone you know will do it justice. 

Here it is my Summer Retro Journal 

Enjoy!!

Until next time... CRAFT ON!!!!
