Flip out page with envelope using Denis Boddey papers

Hi there

Today I am sharing a flip out page I created for my Grand-daughters 2022 album.

I am using a Uniquely Creative 8" x 10" ring bound album for this.

All of the papers I am using in this album are from Denise Boddey Designs.

The papers are double sided and a nice solid weight.

The three ranges I am using are 

Day Dream Story Book

Elegance Collection

Le Jardine Romantique

To create the flip out page I cut two pieces of 300gsm white cardstock to 7" x 9 1/2"

I scored folded one of these at 1/2" on the 7" edge.

Using liquid glue I attached the folded edge to the right hand edge of the unfolded piece, 

being sure to line the edges up.

Next I trimmed another 1/2" off of the narrower page to be sure it cleared the rings in the binder.

I cut patterned papers to cover the three top areas of the pages.

All of the papers on this page have been distressed and inked.

To create a pocket on the back of the page I used an off cut that covered the top area of the page and another off cut that was 4" high to make the pocket.

These papers received the same treatment as all of the others.

To decorate the front of the pocket I used fussy cut items from the papers and some gauze/cheese cloth.

The fussy cut items are mounted on foam squares to add extra dimension.

Using my envelope punch board and a 9 1/2" square of 

Le Jardin Romantique - Song Blossom

I created an envelope to go into the pocket.

I have a process video for you, at the end of the video I show you

the pages I have created so for for this album.

I hope you enjoy watching it.

Thank you for spending part of your day here with me today

Till next time

Stay safe

Mystical Scrapbooks August Cyber Crop

Good morning

Today I want to share the layout I created for the August Cyber Crop at Mystical Scrapbooks.

The theme for this month is sketches with a pop of sparkle.

There are three sketches for you to choose from or you might like to try all three.

The challenge this layout is for uses this sketch by Heather Waldron (2012)

and this is my layout.

I have used papers from the Bee Arty - Bee the Sunshine paper collection for this layout

To create the background I added Modelling Paste through a 

TCW - Tile Texture stencil using my palette knife.

I used the "smooshing" technique to add the colour to the background. 

I added some water and mica powders to a piece of plastic and dabbed it onto the white cardstock.

I did add a little extra water using my spray bottle once the colour was applied

but not very much because I did not want the colours to run together.

The colours I used are Colour Blast - Colour Mica Powder - Peach Nectar

and Color Crush - Pineapple

I also watered down some Vicki Boutin Gold Glaze and splattered that 

onto the background using my fan brush.

Once the background was dry I trimmed it to 11.5" square 

and matted it onto a 12" x 12" piece of black cardstock

I fussy cut lots of flowers and the honeycomb from the Sunny Days paper.

I also cut strips of paper from the Sunny Days paper and the Gracious paper.

The strips are 7.5" x 1.75", 9" x 1.25", 8" x 1", 2.5" x 1" and 2" x 0.75".

I filed the edges of my 4" x 6" photo and matted it onto a piece of 

pink cardstock measuring 6.25" x 4.25", then onto a piece of 

black cardstock measuring 6.5" x 4.5".

I added a piece of scrap chipboard to the back of the matted photo.

Time now to assemble my layout. I have used Art Glitter glue to attach all of my pieces.

I added Wink of Stella - Clear to all of the pink flowers for my pop of sparkle

I have followed the sketch fairly closely, variations being more flowers in my embellishment cluster,

the honeycomb paper is not the same size/shape as the sketch and I have substituted a little cluster for the butterfly/dragon fly in the top right area.

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

I also added a coat of Glossy Accents to finish the title off.

You can see my process video below

I hope you enjoy watching it and you might like to leave me a thumbs up 

and subscribe to my channel if you don't already.

MTCC #61

Good morning

Today I am sharing the card I made for challenge #61 at Make the Card Challenge.

You will find the challenge here.

The challenge this month is a colour challenge.

I have used pastel shades of these colours on my card.

I used a background stamp with Versamark ink and white embossing powder

before blending Dried Marigold Distress Ink and 

Salt Water Taffy Distress Oxide Ink over the top.

My card base is 5 1/4" square

A 5" square piece of green cardstock is the base layer 

for the decorative panel that is 4 3/4" square.

A 1 1/4" x 5" piece of the green cardstock hold the sentiment, which is cut from white cardstock.

I have cut the sentiment 4 times and layered them on top of each other to create

a sentiment with some dimension.

I used Honey Bee - Lovely Layers: Heart Vine die to cut a green leaf spray, 

a paper chrysanthemum from PortaCraft and a couple of small white flowers 

from Uniquely Creative to create a cluster on the left hand section of the green panel.

You can watch my process video here

I hope you enjoy it.

As always, thank you for spending part of your day here with me today

Till next time

Mystical Scrapbooks August Challenge

Hi there

Today's layout is for the August challenge at Mystical Scrapbooks.

The theme for this month is Sketches and the featured product is "all things sparkle".

You will find the challenge here

and all of the sparkle products are on sale here.

This is the sketch I have used for this layout.

It is from PageMaps

and this is my layout

I have made a couple of slight changes. 

I have used one photo instead of two.

My embellishments are on a diagonal from top right to bottom left, 

the sketch has the embellishments on the right hand side of the layout.

My title is under the photo, the sketch has the title above the photo.

I have used a paper from the Bee Arty - Bee The Sunshine range

this paper is Painted Honeycomb.

I have used an assortment of Washi Tapes to create the strips across the layout 

and the small cluster in the bottom left of the page.

 I have covered the "all things sparkle" by having lots of sparkle in the washis.

I added a row of lace to the strips for a little added texture.

I also added sparkle with 28 Lilac Lane's Premium Sequins in Golden

These were scattered diagonally across my layout.

A little more bling with some tiny pink gems amongst the scatter.

Five butterflies from Memory Maze - Linda's Scribble with Butterflies chipboard

were painted white and added to the layout.

I die cut the title from black cardstock using Uniquely Creative's 

Small Lower Case Alpha dies

and Die-Namics Little Numbers die.

A double scribbly border using my fountain pen finishes this layout off.

Here is my process video

I hope you enjoy watching it.

As always, thank you for spend part of your day here with me today.

MTCC #60

Hello

Today I am sharing the three cards I created for Challenge #60 at Make the Cards Challenge.

The challenge is to have a black background for your card.

I made three cards.

All of my cards have a white 5 1/4" square base made from white cardstock.

I cut three 5" square panels of black cardstock to use as my card front panel.

Each of my cards has had a layer of Deco Foil's Transfer Gel Duo applied through a stencil.

The mandala and flower stencil do not have any 

brand name on them but the other one is TCW - Mini Labyrinth.

Card No. 1

I applied a pearl powder over the design on this card using a soft brush.

The colour I used is #673 Interference Violet and as you can see it is quite bright.

Once the design was covered with the powder I wiped over the whole panel 

with a dry tissue and all of the excess powder came off

I attached my black panel to a piece of purple cardstock that is 5 1/4" square 

and attached that to my card front.

To embellish the card I cut a floral emblem from an all over piece of lace

and attached that using Art Glitter glue.

The sentiment is from a kit by Uniquely Creative.

Card No. 3

I have burnished Rose Gold gold leaf into the design on this card.

Add some of the loose gold leaf to your card front and then rub it into the design using your finger.

You need to be relatively firm in your application.

Once the design is covered brush the excess flakes off.

I have cut a piece of co-ordinating metallic paper to cover the front of the card base and then added my black panel to that.

A transparent sticker from Kaisercraft's Happy Birthday sticker pack, 

was added to a piece of the same paper I used for the background.

I cut a fishtail in each end of the title piece before attaching it to the card front 

with a piece of scrap chipboard behind it.

A fine piece of lace was added to the bottom of the black panel 

before the panel was attached to the card front. 

Card No. 3

To enhance the design on this panel I used Deco Foil -Summer Rainbow foil.

A piece of foil was laid over the design and then I rolled over it with my brayer.

You can use your fingers or a bone folder if you do not have a brayer

The sentiment is from Paper Rose's Big Sentiments 1.0 pack.

I have run that through my laminator with the same foil.

Here is my process video

I hope you enjoy watching my video

Cinderella Junk Journal Embellishment No. 1

Hi there

A quick post today just to share some embellishments I created for my 

Cinderella Little Golden Book Journal

I have used a 12" x 12" sheet of Kaisercraft's Peachy Collection -Burnt Sienna

double sided patterned paper to create the five items

There are so many items and so much detail in these pieces that I would find it just about impossible to describe the process to you so I am adding my process video here for you to watch if you would like to see how these pieces were made.

I was inspired to make this after watching a video by Paper Inspirations

You will find Sue's video here.

Hope you have fun watching my video and get inspired to make some of your own.

Thanks for spending part of your day here with me today

Till next time

Denise Boddey DT Four page album

Hi there

Today's post is about a mini album I created using Denise Boddey's

Day Dream Story Book paper range.

I have a video that I will add at the bottom of this post.

To create this album you need 4 sheets of 12" x 12" patterned paper.

The paper I have used is double sided.

If you make this album you could add as many pages as you wish

The papers I used are Dreams, Day Dream, Our Story and Princess for a Day.

For each page:-

score at 6" with the paper right way up,

flip to the left and score at 9" (this will be at the bottom of the page)

Select the paper you want for the front cover,

use glue to attach the back outside panel of this paper to the front outside of the next panel.

Continue doing this until all pages are attached.

If you prefer you could only glue around the edges of each page and create pockets between each page.

I cut a piece of patterned paper 1" x 9" to create the spine cover.

Next I used my corner rounder on the top and bottom outside edges of each page.

Run a small bead of glue along the outside edges of the pocket on each page.

You could run glue along the centre fold too if you prefer.

I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink and my distressing tool to ink around the edges 

of each page and pocket edges

I created eight tags to go into the pockets.

I used 300gsm white cardstock to create the tags, they measure 4 1/2" x 8 1/2".

The patterned paper has been cut to 4 1/4" x 8 1/4".

I inked the edges and attached the patterned paper to the front of the tag.

I added an eyelet to the top of each tag using my Crop O Dial and

added some white seam binding through the eyelet.

Using my Big Shot I die cut flowers using patterned paper and pale pink velum 

and Couture Creations CO724161 die.

I cut some leaves using Honey Bee's Lovely Layers Heart Vine and Uniquely Creative Little Leaves dies

Using Uniquely Creative Island Texture die and the same papers/velum I cut some background fillers

Other embellishments I used were lace and gauze/cheese cloth and Ali Lattice chipboard panel

You will see the embellishing in the video.

I hope you try making this little album. 

It is easy to make, a good size and can be changed and embellished in so many ways.

Have a great day

Till next time

Stay safe

Hugs

Julie
