"Chill" by Amanda featuring Heidi Swapp "Sunchaser"

Hello SC fans!

If you love Scrapping Clearly, then you would have to love Heidi Swapp too. Kylie has ALWAYS stocked the most amazing and vast collection of Heidi stuff. Recently I got my hands on the

Heidi Swapp - Sunchaser collection

I love the bright and sunny colours and especially the combination of pinks, yellows and mint.

Here is my page.....

I started with some awesome papers in the collection: Sun Chase – Chillax – Paper for the background - and I added stenciling with white modeling paste through Vicki Boutin – Wild Soul - Storyteller Stencils.

I mounted the page on more paper: Sun Chaser – Moments – Paper.

I stacked the photo on a few different papers from the collection.

To finish I embellished with stickers from:

Heidi Swapp Sun Chaser Thickers Stickers (Title and puffy stars/hearts/circles); and

Heidi Swapp Sun Chaser Cardstock Stickers 

I also added some white pen doodling  and some white splatters ( What makes the best whiter splatters for you? ) and  some Heidi Swapp Color Shine Mint Green splatters.

Thanks for looking today!

Our girl, by Amanda Hartmann

Hello SC fans!

Sometimes all you need is a rich vibrant sheet of Heidi Swapp paper to start a page.

Heidi's Hawthorne range has plenty, including this sheet of HAWTHORNE PAPER - VELVET I used as the base to my page.

From there, I built up some layers to create this pretty, yet simple multi-photo layout.

I layered my three square photos on some torn cardboard (brown to match our lovely Lulu dog!).

Tucked in and stapled with my Tim Holtz tiny attacher are:

* Heidi Swapp doiles, and 

* Tim Holtz tissue paper.

And on top I stuck some sticker words and a Charms Creation book paper star.

I finished with some white splatters, made with: Dina Wakley White Gloss Spray.

Also found some old blue star eyelets from my stash! Yay for stash-busting.

 I even raided my old Heidi Ghost letters for the title! Have you still go some in your stash?

 And how cute is  our dog LULU? -She's the star of the page!

Thanks for looking today!

Inspirational Quote, by Amanda Hartmann

Hello Scrapping clearly fans!

I have been quietly creating with my Scrapping Clearly stash and I hope to get back to sharing with you all!

Today's page is all about the background... It is easy to create your own unique background with some tissue or wrapping paper of your choice, with some gesso and stenciling layered over top!

I used a roll of the HeidiSwapp MARQUEE LOVE CORK WITH GOLD FLAKES DECORATIVE PAPER ROLL - the paper is light weight and was easy to stick to some white cardstock with some gel medium. It doesn't sit flat or neat, but I liked the grungy look! You could use any light weight paper or tissue paper in your stash and achieve the same effect!

Now add some layers....

Gesso!

then Stenciling: I used some white modeling paste through DinaWakley Media – Stencil and Mask – Done is Better

And lastly some touches of colour with Distress Oxides Ink Pads

The page is finished with some simple stickers [ TIM HOLTZ – IDEA-OLOGY – SMALL TALK STICKERS] and a Charms Creation.

I was even able to glue the same background paper onto the Charms Creation chevron.

Thanks for looking today!

Happiest, by Amanda Hartmann

Hello and happy Wednesday!

Here is my page!

Inspired by the February mood board....

And here's some of the products in store that I used:

* Rose gold Metallique Paint, by Prima

* Stamps by Dina Wakley

* Heidi Swapp - gold foil letters
* Puffy (or "inflated") hearts by Amy Tangerine

I started with white cardstock machine stitched to black cardstock.

I used a credit card to swipe the Metallic Rose gold paint to the background.

I created a stack of layers under the photo.

One layer contains a sheet of vellum, which I stamped with Dina Wakley stamps and heat embossed with some gold embossing powder from my stash.

This was all stacked with corugated cardboard, twine and hessian ribbon.

The Heidi Swapp gold foil alphabet were easy to use and the gold looks perfect for my title!

I love the shine of the metallic paint!

You can see the embossed stamped vellum layer amongst the other textures.

Thanks for looking today. You can create a project for our mood board and upload it to the album before the end of the month. Join us!

BLOOM by Tracey Thorne

 Welcome to November my friends and a new Moodboard has gone live over on the Scrapping Clearly Share and Inspire Facebook Page and it is a cracker... full of colour and life. I hope you enjoy what I have put together to kick your Saturday of creativity off!

I started by splodging some Izink Dye Ink by Seth Apter in flamingo on to the page. I then worked out placement for my photo and worked around that by adding black stitching. To this I have used the AALL & Create stencil #49 by Olga Helidwein and some Tim Holtz distress Texture Paste. I dried this using my heat tool. I have then added colour to the mandalas by using Vicki Boutin crayons and a little water. At this stage I have also added the stitched black border and added a little more water colour to the edges of the layout.

I have then stamped in black ink under the photo using the AALL & Create stamp #441 by Bipasha BK I have also added a little stamped script to drag out the line of the stitched rectangle I have created. 

The photo has been layered on some muslin, Project Life Acetate binder tab, Heidi Swapp stickers with a little added cotton in pink and black.

I stamped out a few more of the AALL & Create #441 stamps and fussy cut them - then used a little water colour crayon again to match their stamping.

 

Other embellishments added were some little dewdrop crystals, Heidi Swapp stickers, Heidi Swapp epoxy word-cuteness.

For the title I chose a quote that I have typed out and highlighted the word BLOOM by using thickers. 

I hope this has given you a little Inspiration on this beautiful Saturday morning.

enjoy your creative weekend

Journey by Tracey Thorne

 I am still finding pages that need to be cleared off my desk. I think I am up to the fifth one now. Slowly slowly will win this race 😏. I hope you are all enjoying your weekend thus far and are ready to get messy and creative.  This layout was all about just finding things that were on my desk that I chose not to use on other layouts and was too lazy to pop away. 

I started with a pre-worked piece of white cardstock which had a bubble stencil used on it with Liquitex modelling paste and some Dina Wakley paint in fuschia mixed through it {I am thinking but going from a very bad retention of memory}. I freshened the paint up with a little gesso over the top and a quick rub off with a wipe. I added a little black stitching across the page and then created a rectangular border to encompass the ephemera and photo. A little black shadow was added along the line using and ALLS pencil and smudging it with water.

  

I have then layered a few bits and pieces of paper & fabric ephemera - A playing card, old tags, some Muslin that I dyed with some yum Speckled Egg Ink, off cuts from Vicki Boutin & Heidi Swapp printed paper, Calico, Tab from Flutterby Designs, number cutfile created by myself. At this stage I added the photo and stitched an ephemera tag to tie it all together. I have also added hand stitching to the top and bottom corners of the photo. I found staples were the quickest and easiest way to attach a lot of this layering with a little glue for good measure squirted underneath.

I have then added a little more 3D ephemera to this page using Tim Holtz arrows, clock face and gasket. I have added a few wood numbers also and a offcut of hexagon chippy. Ooh and stamping I needed to add a little more black for balance. I have used AALL & Create Checkmate stamps which help tie in with the muslin check. I have also added my title using Heidi Swapp Acetate word - journey.

Finally I used some Tim Holtz Rub ons to add a few more words to the page. A blacked stitched border finished my page off. 

I do hope you have a creative weekend... bit jealous that Kylie has her retreat this weekend and I live a million miles away and just have to wish from afar. Have a fabulous retreat everyone!

Don't forget today is the last day for our October moodboard for entries to be uploaded in the Scrapping Clearly Share and Inspire facebook page... so if you haven't given it a crack maybe it can spark your mojo as there is nothing like the last minute.

have a great weekend.

Buckle Up Buttercup

Welcome to another fantastic weekend of creativity. I hope you are enjoying creating with the August moodboard. A couple of weekends ago I created a layout using a car like the one in moodboard and have found another photo similar to create with. I take a lot of similar photos at different angles when the kids were little - they each have a different story. In this one my little boy was so proud that he got to drive the car at Dreamworld. If we could only keep them this young and cute.

For this layout I chose some 12x12 Vicki Boutin paper from the Let'sWander range - Beach Vibe & Chasing Stars. I used the Chasing stars paper as the base and used a strip of the Beach Vibe as a layer.

I have added a little of the Ranger Distress Ink - speckled egg to the background. I did this by adding it to plastic & spraying a little water before tipping it and dabbing it on the cardstock in a few places.

After the ink had dried I then stamped in a few places the Stampers Anonymous stamp - Grunged  . I used Liquitex Modelling paste with a Dina Wakley stencil - Wheels. Once all of this was dry I marked out with a pencil where my photo and layering cardstock would go and then took them away and used my sewing machine to add some black borders.

As I added all the layers I found some grey loose cardstock on my desk to add under the photo also. I built up the photo using foam tape. I have then stamped a few small dots using Ranger Ink and a Viva Las Vegas stamp. The title was created in the Silhouette and coloured using an Artline black marker and raised on the layout using foam tape. I have used some yellow stickers and stars from the Heidi Swapp Stationary set and used a good amount of the Studio Calico timber embellishments that came in the pack. To add to the boy theme I added some chipboard cogs coloured with Staz On - midnight. I finished off the layout by adding a flair & some older rub-ons I had in my stash and Vicki Boutin heart stickers - because they are super cute. 

        

I hope you are having fun creating with this months Moodboard and I am enjoying the entries trickle in and fill up the Share & Inspire Facebook page album. We are a creative bunch.

Until next time - stay safe, create & have fun
