"Don't Forget to Fly" Mixed Media Card with Tracey

Hello dear Scrap & Craft friends!

It's Tracey here with my final post as a designer for Scrap & Craft. Thank you Aneta, for the wonderful opportunity to create with such gorgeous products from your amazing shop! The store remains open, so come back often to pick up your favorite supplies. 

This sweet card features gorgeous Studio75 Berry Copse paper along with beautiful chipboard and flowers from the store. I just had to use the "don't forget to fly" sentiment with the fabulous SnipArt hot air balloon chippie making this a card that can be used for a variety of occasions.


Tips and Techniques
This lovely floral cluster includes a Magnolia Flower, Ivory Mulberry Rose, and Pale Pink Mulberry Roses from the store along with a few from my stash. I dry brushed the flowers with white gesso, then applied matte gel medium and sprinkled lightly with white gold microbeads to add sparkle. 

I used Bambino Glue to adhere the Prills that I tucked in for color and texture.

The lovely Craft Molly Floral Corners Chipboard was snipped in half, then heat embossed in white, then again with sparkling holographic embossing powder. 

I used fabulous Studio75 The Berry Copse paper from the 6x6" pad for the background. To add texture and more sparkle, I stenciled a design with molding paste across most of the background and then while the paste was still wet, I sprinkled generously with super fine glitter.

***Tip***
Once the glittered molding paste is completely dry,
used canned air to blow off any excess glitter.

Ah, this is my favorite part of the card. I cut a piece of coordinating paper from the pack to fit the back of the balloon and heat embossed the chipboard with bronze embossing powder. The metal heart from my stash fit perfectly over the basket of the hot air balloon. It is rubbed with metallic paint and art waxes to give a grungy vintage feel. 

The background is stamped with a script stamp, then spattered with white ink.


I've been blessed to create alongside some amazingly talented designers
here at Scrap & Craft and wish each of you all the best.

~ Blessings ~

"Fly" Mixed Media Card with Tracey

Hello dear Scrap & Craft friends!

It's Tracey back with a new project for you. The Craft O'Clock ~ Morning Dreams II paper collection has such gorgeous colors and fabulous images that can be fussy cut to embellish your projects. I've also used chipboard, stamps, organza trim from the Scrap and Craft Store.


Tips and Techniques
I selected delicate flowers to go with the soft colors on the gorgeous background paper and fussy cut flowers, then tucked in a single blossom from the Organza Rose Trim. I just adore this versatile trim that can be used in a strip or cut apart for individual flowers.

I treasure texture, so used Bambino Glue to adhere metal objects, Prills, diecut leafy flourishes, chunky glass glitter, microbeads, mica flakes, and rhinestones around the cluster and across the page.  Do you have a stash of found items like I do? It's so lovely to tuck in an odd found item or two into mixed media projects for a unique touch. I brushed them with metallic paint and art wax to fit in.

These fabulous Scrapiniec Steampunk Flying Hearts Chipboard Wings are heat embossed in pale gold, a perfect accent to the soft teal and pinks.

The background is stenciled with crackle paste, then spritzed with teal and white color mist. Once dry, white ink is spattered across for soft visual texture.

 
 I combined the Agateria Grill 3 Stamp with a flourish stamp from my stash to edge the top and bottom of the card. I thought this sentiment was just perfect to go with the chipboard wings in the cluster.


I hope you've been inspired to grab your Scrap & Craft supplies
and create something beautiful today.

"Dream of Being More" featuring Craft O'Clock Morning Dreams II with Tracey


Hello dear Scrap & Craft friends!

It's Tracey here with a new project for you. I created a two in one piece. It's an oversized mixed media graduation card, reinforced with an extra layer of 110lb cardstock so it can be placed on an easel to brighten up a mantel or desk. Rather than using a congratulations or graduation sentiment on the front, I stamped this inspirational sentiment that is perfect for a home decor piece as well as an encouragement to the graduate.

Tips and Techniques
The sweet floral cluster includes Magnolia Flowers, and Pale Pink Mulberry Roses from the Scrap & Craft Store. The gorgeous background paper is from the Craft O'Clock ~ Morning Dreams II Paper Collection. I also fussy cut flower images from the collection to layer under the cluster. The background and borders are stamped with Grille and Grille 3 Stamps from the store. I added a touch of teal pastels around the edges as well.

Bambino Glue dries clear and is just perfect for adhering texture with Prills and microbeads along with sequins, half pearls, and flakes of teal mica scattered onto the background.

From this angle you can see Pearl Stamens from the store that I tucked in under the rosebuds. I just adore the chipboard from Scrapiniec's Doily Lace Corner Set that I heat embossed in teal, then topped with another layer of blue glittered embossing powder. 

I collect odds and ends to use in my paper crafting from a variety of different sources. The decorative crystal and pearl stick pin is for wedding decor. I also tucked in a couple seashells I found at the shore on one of our vacations as well as a few flowers from my stash. A while back I crocheted some sweet little flowers and came across them recently. I couldn't resist adding one at the edge of the paper flowers.

The sentiment is stamped with permanent black ink onto watercolor paper. Once dry, I spritzed with water and brushed with watercolor paint, then tore around the words to expose the creamy white paper edges. Foam squares are used to raise up the sentiment so it sits nicely over the twine wrapped around the card.

I used light molding paste with the Studio75 Small Brick Stencil to add texture and when dry spritzed with color mist, then spattered with white ink.

I got artsy with these sweet summery dragonflies. They're stamped onto watercolor paper, then colored with blue and teal watercolors. It was a bit of extra work to fussy cut them, but well worth the effort! I wanted something shimmery, so added teal seed beads to the long slender bodies with Bambino Glue.

Shabby Mixed Media Mother's Day Card with Tracey

Hello dear Scrap & Craft friends!

It's Tracey back to share a new project with you today. We are so blessed with a beautiful daughter-in-law who is an amazing mom to our little granddaughter, Avery. I created this sweet Mother's Day card for her featuring the Craft O'Clock Always Together Collection paired with Mulberry Magnolia Flowers and a Pink Cherry Blossom from the Scrap & Craft store.


Tips and Techniques
I simply adore how the Craft O'Clock collections include such gorgeous images on the back of the package label to use on your projects. I fussy cut a couple of these floral images to tuck in behind the dimensional flowers.

The focal flowers include Magnolia Flowers and Pink Cherry Blossom from the store. They are dry brushed with white gesso for a shabby mixed media feel.

I've also tucked in metal wings, resin flowers, ribbon leaves, die cuts, jewelry pieces, sequins, hand crocheted flower, art pebbles tin hearts, and art stones from my stash. When creating mixed media pieces, you can really combine about anything you might have laying around. I've colored the wings, resin flowers, jewelry piece, and art stones with color mist and art wax.

When creating a cluster, it helps to start with the larger pieces in the center, then build
out with smaller elements. Here, I built a layer of torn lace down from the center of the
cluster and added dimensional items over top.

Here's a close-up to see more of the mixed media background. I added stenciling, a bit of color, and white spatter with drawing ink. The edges are distressed to add to the shabby feel of the card.

Bambino Glue from the store is used to adhere the art stones and sequins.

Enjoy LIFE Layout by Simo



Hello everyone! Simona's here with another tutorial...today I want to show you a Layout I have made using the beautiful CHERRY BLOSSOM 12x12 paper set by Studio75, for a cherished picture of me and my little Sister...well not that little anymore, but she will always be the little baby Sis to me...This pic was taken during a stroll in the park on a lovely, sunny Easter day, with blossoming trees all around...

I used the 'Cherry Blossom 02' sheet as a base, covered with Clear Gesso, then applied some modeling paste through a stencil....


spattered with inks and set aside.
Took a piece from 'Cherry Blossom 01' with a contrasting pattern, added Clear Gesso then started to add a 'handwritten stamp' here and there, to enhance a bit more the writings that were already on the paper. Added some subtle shadow using Studio75 Stencil 'MAROCCO CLOVER', then some modeling paste through a script stencil. When dry added splash and drops of various inks in pink/fuchsia shades, then spattered with black ink and attached this strip to the main base using a stapler. Added some white thread where the modeling paste is...


Time to build the focal point and add the embellishments: Coloured a piece of cardstock using various green inks and sprays, then stamped with the 'BRANCH' Unmounted Clear Stamp using black ink and fussy cut the leaves. From two strips that come in the paper set I fussy cut some flowers and leaves too, then glued them using BAMBINO GLUE .
Under the photo I added black thread, a die cut branch from black cardstock, the stamped leaves, some PAPER FLOWERS and a piece of black cardstock. Then added a CHERRY BLOSSOM BUTTON, a cut out from the Add-on strip that comes in the paper set, a die cut word painted with pink inks and a word stamped with a Dymo. To finish it off I glued few rhinestones here and there...and here it is...my ENJOY LIFE Layout.





These are the supplies used that you will find in the SCRAP & CRAFT Shop:


Thank you so much for stopping by, have a great Sunday and remember to enjoy every moment!

Kisses&Hugs!
Simona.
