August Layouts and Video Tutorial by Jessica

"Our Story"

Hi everyone!  My first layout I want to share with you this August features the Tattered Walls Collection and I included a video tutorial that you can find below.


The main background paper is "The Reading Room" and I added a strip of "The Garage" paper.


The Our Story chipboard was first given a coat of gesso, then painted with white acrylic paint.  Next I embossed the whole title with Pearl embossing powder.  Then using the Super Grunge stamp, I embossed the title with Ivory embossing powder.  I love the effect!  The Bits of Honey chipboard pieces were embossed with Fern embossing powder.


The red rose buds are actually from the Homespun Blooms flowers that I took apart and made into rose buds (you can see it in my tutorial).  The rest of the flowers on the page are from the Homespun Blossoms collection and look really nice with the colors in the picture.  Below the flower you are able to see the Green Ivory embossing powder that I used with the Crackle Textures stamp.  You can also see the Marine glitter on the flowers and Lemonade Seedlings that I added around the flowered areas and other spots around the picture.


In this picture you can see more details and see the Tattered Newsprint stamping that I did around the picture.


The Tattered Walls Ephemera was a nice touch to accent the areas around my picture.


And now, here is the video tutorial I created.  I hope you find it helpful and fun. :-)

"Love This Moment"

My second layout for August also features the Tattered Walls collection.  My background paper is "The Maid's Room" from the Tattered Walls Collection.  I wanted to use the colors blue, red, and yellow so I chose blue as the dominant color, red is the secondary color, then tiny bits of golden yellow as accents.  On three small areas on the background, I used matte gel and a soft floral stencil, then sprinkled some Beating Heart seedlings and some Blue Ice glitter over top.


The title chipboard Love This Moment was first embossed with Azul embossing powder.  Then I embossed over it with Pearl embossing powder.  This seemed to soften the sparkles from the Azul embossing powder.  On this side of the picture, the white flower is from the Christmas Blooms set.  I created the two red rose buds on this page by separating the pieces of one of the Homespun Blooms and folding them into place.  I did the same thing with the off-white Chesterville Florals flower to make some rose buds.


In this picture you can see more of the Beating Heart seedlings surrounding some tiny accent flowers I had from my stash.  The oval frame chipboard piece under my picture was cut in half (to fit the size of my picture) and embossed with Azul embossing powder.  The Gold Nugget seedlings add the touch of golden yellow that I wanted for the layout.


I used the Journaling Cards stamps on watercolor paper and embossed them with Azul Embossing Powder (and added the bits of Gold Nugget Seedlings).  The Card to the left of the picture has a piece of Tattered Walls Ephemera under it for dimension.


The two off-white flowers are both part of the Chesterville Florals set.  The red rose bud was made from one of the Homespun Blooms.  And the blue flower is from the Dark Tropic Lilies set.

May Layouts by Jessica

"Happiness is Homemade"

Hello friends!  My first layout for the month uses the Homespun Collection.


Using the Homemade paper for my background and Home Sweet Home for matting, I used the printed chipboard under the picture and as my title.  I used Glass seedlings and Army Dust glitter along with the Crackle Texture Stamp with green mists to create the background.


To the left of the picture you will see the the heart from the XOXO Title chipboard primed with gesso then painted in 2 different colors of pink mists.  The lily on this side is from the Harvest Lillies set.


To the right of the page, you can see a piece of the Wanderlust Vine Set and flower from the Dark Tropic Lillies Set.  I used a piece of Lace #12 to decorate the bottom.

My next layout is pretty basic.  The background paper is Tweet Melody from the Amber & Apricot Collection.


I took four metal embellishments from my stash and painted them with black gesso.  Then I embossed them with Pearl embossing powder.  While the Pearl was still hot, I sprinkled Baby Pink embossing powder over it in spots to melt them together.  While they were still hot, I sprinkled some Petunia glitter over the embellishments.  For the background, I used a stencil with matte gel and Beating Heart seedlings.  You will also see the Tattered Newsprint stamping and the vertical stamping with one of the Distressed Titles stamps.


The Honey Comb Bits chipboard were embossed with Baby Pink and Coral embossing powder.


The pink lily is from the Harvest Lillies set and the little white bloom is from the Apricot Blooms set.

"Sweet and Happy"

My last project features the Remnants Collection.  The background paper is Devonshire, and I also used Bloomsbury paper and Mini Remnants paper pieces for my background work under the mists.  To make the tag under the photo, I used the Bloomsbury paper with the Tattered Newsprint Stamp.


All of the chipboard on this page is the Remnants Printed Chipboard.  Some of them I even used with gesso to create part of the background and adhered it to the paper with matte gel.  The title pieces are also part of the Printed Chipboard Pieces set with glossy adhesive medium applied to the tops.


The lilies are part of the Harvest Lillies set.


The frame behind the picture is actually from the Printed Chipboard pieces.  I embossed it with Green Ivory embossing powder and sprinkled some Dark Chocolate embossing powder on top while it was still hot.  I randomly applied Burgundy seedlings in spots around the picture.

March Layout Inspiration - Joanne Bain

Hi Everyone!!

Joanne here with you today to share 2 layouts, one with a tutorial. Both are created with the totally gorgeous In The Mood collection.

For my first layout I chose to pull the darker colour in the collection and give my main cluster a bit of a colour pop with vibrant red.

'Love'


To frame my photo I have used the outside hearts from the In The Mood chipboard sheet. To create the pens, I used the pen stamp from the Desk Set stamp set, this was then embossed with Ebony embossing powder.


The small lace flowers were cut from Lace 3B. All chipboard was also embossed with Ebony embossing powder.


The background was created by using a stencil with black gesso and the while nearly dry a sprinkling of Ruby Slippers glitter was applied.


To build up added interest to the cluster I added some of the cream flowers from the Chesterville florals set. I also added some natural cheesecloth to add extra texture and softness to the page.

For my next page I chose to use the softer tones in the collection. I simply do adore this collection it is just so pretty. For this layout I also thought I would do a little step by step tutorial so you may be able to create this one yourself.

'Perfect Moment'


The small Roman clock face was cut in half layered and embossed with the gorgeous Pixie Dust embossing powder. The top half of the clock also had dark chocolate and Ivory embossing powders added.


The small frame behind the photo was coloured with Green Ivory embossing powder. In the background of the page there is a sprinkling of Mauve and Gold Nugget seedlings.


For added interest in the cluster I added some fussy cut flowers cut from the Attracted patterned paper. 


The main feature flower is one of the lighter pink flowers from the Moody Florals set. I removed the centre of the flower and added my own.


The title and the background flourish were both coloured with Dark Chocolate embossing powder.
