July Cyber Crop at Mystical Scrapbooks

Good morning

I have got a layout to share today.

I created this layout for the Cyber Crop at Mystical Scrapbooks.

You will find the Cyber Crop here

There are three challenges in this Crop and this layout if for the challenge 

that requires you to use a flip on your layout.

You can see what I mean in the photos below.

The centre photo opens out to reveal two more photos underneath.

I used papers from the Uniquely Creative Steampunk Safari collection for this layout.

To create the background I used Scattered Straw and Rusty Hinge Distress Inks through 

Bee Arty - Abstract Daisy - Bee the Sunshine stencil

I also stamped with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and Uniquely Creative's Numeric Mark Making Stamp

I have two photos measuring 3 1/2" x 6" and three measuring 3" x 6".

The smaller photos are in the flip section of my layout.

I used Steampunk Safari - Technical paper to matt the photos and to make the flip.

I used Uniquely Creative's Steampunk Safari - Awesome and Basic Grey's Green at Heart - Kermit papers behind the two outside photos along with a piece of the same cardstock I used to matt the whole layout.

I have sewn around everything with my sewing machine and black thread, 

including a circle in the middle of the layout.

To embellish the layout I used some items from the Steampunk Safari Creative Cuts 

and some fussy cut items from Steampunk Safari - Unique patterned paper

I cut the title from black cardstock using my Kaisercraft DD700 Alphabet Upper Case die.

I added a coat of Glossy Accents.

My process video is below.

In the video I also show you how I add my layout to a page protector 

in my album so the flip can be opened.

Don't forget to pop over to Mystical Scrapbook and check out the Cyber Crop

Thanks for being here today

Till next time

Design Team layout for Off the Rails Scrapbooking's January 2022 challenge

Good morning

The challenge over at Off the Rails Scrapbooking this month is 

Re-use, Recycle & Repurpose.

I have interpreted that as using items from my stash that have been there for many years.

You will find the challenge here.

The photos on my layout are of my Mum taken while we were celebrating her 89th birthday

in December 2021

The chipboard frame has been in my stash for so many years 

I have no idea where I got it or what brand it is.

I have given it a coat of Gesso then sprayed it with Tattered Angels Chalkboard spray in white

and when that was dry I sprayed it with Tattered Angels Glimmermist in Iridescent Gold.

The patterned papers are from a 12" paper pad by DCWV called Love & Grace.

I purchased this pad from Spotlight a few years ago also.

I used Art Glitter glue to attach a patterned paper to the back of the frame

I trimmed the background patterned paper to 11 1/2" square

and attached it to a 1" white cardstock frame.

I took this to my sewing machine and stitched a row of zig zag 

and a row of straight stitching around the edge of the patterned paper

The frame was then attached to the background using my hot glue gun

The two 6" x 4" photos were attached to the layout using foam squares so they sat flat over the frame.

To embellish the layout I cut a 3" x 4" cut apart from one of the sheets of patterned paper,

cut the top so it looked like a tag, then heat embossed around the edge of it

with embossing ink, fine gold embossing powder and my heat tool.

I used my Crop-O-Dile to add a gold eyelet to the tag.

 I threaded some sheer gold ribbon through the eyelet.

Using Woodware's Mini Garden Spray stamp, I stamped and heat embossed

the flowers onto white cardstock. I used the same gold embossing powder.

I fussy cut these flowers.

I used my hot glue gun to attache the tag and the flowers to the layout.

The tiny embroidered flowers and leaves were another item from my stash and had been given to me by my Mum. I loved the idea of using them on this layout about her.

I added a coat of Wink of Stella to the flowers. Unfortunately I picked up the white one instead of the clear one and instead of giving my flowers a nice sparkle I managed to dull down the gold detail of the heat embossing.

*Note* I used a baby wipe to wipe over the flowers a day or so later and luckily removed a good amount of the white

The title is heat embossed chipboard numbers. 

I have used the same embossing powder I used 

for all of the other heat embossing.

I have used Art Glitter glue to attach the title to the bottom right of the frame 

Here is my process video if you would like to watch this layout come together
