Week 8 Mystical Scrapbooks Retro TV Program Competition

Hello hello

It's the final week of the Retro TV Program Challenge at Mystical Scrapbooks this week

You will find the challenge here

The program for this week is Happy Day's

What a great program it was and who wasn't "in love" with Fonzy, 

I know I was. He was so cool.

The colour scheme for this week is denim and silver,

the required technique is paper tearing,

it must be a masculine layout 

and the item from the optional kit is chipboard cogs.

Here is my layout

The papers I have used are from Uniquely Creative's Country Roads paper collection

The background is a sheet of The Real Deal patterned paper,

I have used Colour Blast Honey Hive - Love and Grace A4 stencil

and Faded Jeans Distress Ink to add some interest.

My photos are 4" square.

I have used an emery board to file around the edges of each of them.

I tore two strips of The Back Paddock paper and ran them down the sides of three of the photos

This panel was added to the left hand side of the layout 

and one of the photos, which is matted on a piece of The Back Paddock paper

is featured on the right hand side of the layout.

All of the photos are mounted on cardboard.

I added a strip of black cardstock to both edges of the photo panel 

and also to the left and right edges of the layout.

I used Memory Maze Pick up Sticks Square frame chipboard 

and the chipboard cogs from the optional kit to embellish the layout.

Each piece was painted with white acrylic paint and then silver acrylic paint.

I cut the frame in half and placed it around the fourth photo and the cogs

were added to the top right of the photo panel and the bottom right of the layout.

I created a third cluster using Uniquely Creative's Silver Metal Cogs to the bottom left of the photo panel.

I also adde one of the metal cogs to each of the other cog clusters.

I cut the title from black cardstock using Kaisercraft's DD700 Alphabet Upper Case dies.

This is attached in the top right of the layout using liquid glue

All of the details are in this video.

I hope you find time to watch and enjoy it.

Till next time

Stay safe

Mystical Scrapbooks June Inspiration

Good morning

I have got two masculine cards to share with you today

I have taken a couple of requirements from Week 2 and Week 4 of the Retro TV Programs competition at Mystical Scrapbooks to create these cards.

As I have had Covid and done some casual full time work for the AEC I have not had the opportunity to create a project for these weeks and thought I would do it this way.

Here are my cards

Lets start with the first card

I created this card using a couple of requirements from Week 2

Use shades of blue and a grid design.

I have used a pale blue cardstock for my 5 1/4" card base

A piece of white cardstock was trimmed to 5" square and embossed with a 3D embossing folder

I die cut four squares from Uniquely Creative's Country Roads - The Back Paddock 

paper that are approx 2" in size.

All of the papers/cardstock were distressed with my distressing tool and my Versa Color black ink cube

Scrap cardboard was attached to the back of the squares of patterned paper before they were attached to the white embossed cardstock

This panel was then attached to the card front.

The sentiment was attached to a piece of burlap and then attached to a piece of the same cardstock that I used to create the card base.

A piece of scrap cardboard was attached between the sentient and the card front.

To embellish this card I used a few cogs from Uniquely Creative's Silver Metal Cogs.

For the second card I used some of the requirements from week 4

Vintage and Washi Tape

I have created the 5 1/4" card base using a light kraft colours cardstock

The rust coloured cardstock is from the optional competition kit and measures 5" square

The patterned paper is a 4 1/2" square piece from Uniquely Creative's Drive and Fly - Train

All of the edges were distressed in the same way the previous card was.

I added some torn pieces of Washi Tape from the optional kit 

to the bottom left and top right of the patterned paper panel

To embellish this card I used the chipboard stars from the optional kit and an arrow from 

Dusty Attic's Perfect Moment chipboard pack.

I painted them with two coats of white acrylic paint, 

one coat of Rust acrylic paint and a coat of 

Copper metallic acrylic paint

The papers/cardboard were attached to the front of the card with a piece of scrap cardboard behind the plain cardstock.

The chipboard was then attached using liquid glue and the sentiment, which is from Paper Roses - All Occasions Sentiment pack was the last thing to be added

So there we have my two cards for today

I hope you find some inspiration and check out the competition over at Mystical Scrapbooks.

Here is my process video

I hope you enjoy it

Till next time

Stay safe

Retro TV Program Competition at Mystical Scrapbooks

Good morning

Today's layout is for week 5 of the Retro TV Program competition over at Mystical Scrapbooks.

You will find the competition here.

The program for this week is Friends.

The colour palette is rainbow, the required item is a Coffee Cup / Champagne Glass, 

you must use glitter on your page and the bonus item from the optional kit is a fabric heart.

Here is my layout

As you can see I have got the rainbow of colours as the background of my layout.

I used Simple Stories - Hello Summer papers for this layout.

I gutted a piece of black cardstock leaving a 1" frame.

My 11 1/2" square piece of Life is Good was attached to the frame using double sided tape.

I watered down both black and white acrylic paints and used my fan brush to create splatters all over my background.

I trimmed my 7" x 5" main photo to 7" x 4 1/2" and filed around the edge 

of each of the three photos with an emery board to add a fine white border.

I cut a piece of Oh Happy Day 8" x 6" and tore along one of the 8" edges.

After inking around the edges I attached my large photo to it.

I wrapped some black & white Twine around my photo three times and tied a knot at the front.

The two smaller photos were matted onto Catching Rays with a 3/16" border on each side.

I added cardboard to the back of each of the photos and attached them to the layout.

I painted my coffee cup chipboard with white acrylic paint. 

When this was dry I added a liberal coat of Art Glitter glue and pressed 

Dress my Craft Rainbow Glitter onto it, making sure it had a nice thick coat.

I added the coffee cup and the fabric heart to the layout using Art Glitter glue

To create the title I used Sizzix 662667 Alphabet die and black cardstock.

I attached the title using Art Glitter glue and my reverse tweezers

To finish the layout off I used my fountain pen to draw a double scribbly border around the page.

You can see my process video here.

I hope you enjoy watching it

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

Till next time

Stay safe
