Rainbow box with Amy Prior

Hi there Scrapping Clearly fans! Amy Prior back with you all today sharing this quick tutorial for how I decorated a plain box from Kmart for my daughter's bedroom. She is very excited to store her trinkets inside...



Step 1: Cover the entire box with Liquitex Gesso to prime the surface. The box originally was woodgrain with a grey lid so I wanted to ensure I had the entire surface primed and ready. 



Step 2: Scrape some Colour Blast - Colour Paste - Sunshine and Colour Blast - Colour Paste - Rose Petal randomly over the top of the lid and sides of the box. Allow to dry slightly.


Step 3: Scrape some Colour Blast - Colour Paste - Envy, Colour Blast - Colour Paste - Deep Water, and Colour Blast - Colour Paste - Tangareen Dream in random spots also then allow to dry slightly.


Step 4: Scrape some Colour Blast - Colour Paste - Just Blue and Colour Blast - Colour Paste - Lipstick to finish off the colour then allow to dry completely. Use a heat tool if needed or just sit aside to dry naturally overnight. Colour pastes dry very quickly but obviously the thicker the application, the longer it will require. Overnight is always a safe bet.


Step 5: Now that the colour paste is all dry completely, grab a Ranger Black Archival Ink Pad and literally rub the ink pad directly over the entire painted surface. This will blacken the fun texture that was created with each scrape of paint. Don't be afraid to press harder, if the first application of black does not contrast enough for your liking. 


Step 6: When the Archival ink is completely dry, rub some Dorlands Wax Medium over the entire painted surface. The Colour Pastes dry slightly tacky so this will help avoid anything sticking plus it will help with cleaning in the future as water, etc. will be instantly repelled by the wax.


This box is no longer dull but full of life and the perfect addition to my daughter's arty rainbow inspired bedroom.

First Haircut Mixed Media Scrapbook Page by Amy Prior

Hi there Scrapping Clearly fans! Amy Prior back with you all again today, this time sharing a quick tutorial on how I created the background for this fun page...


Step 1: Trim your photos to size and mark off a piece of American Crafts 12x12 Double Thick White Cardstock where you would like them to be positioned using a lead pencil.


Step 2: Doodle some random circles with little stitched patterns around the page using a permanent archival quality black pen. Make sure you place these circles where they will be visible once you have adhered your photograph with any layers added around. 


Step 3: Use a paint brush to add some Colour Blast - Shimmer Spray- Sunshine by roughly colouring in the circles. I do messy circles so I did not want to colour within the lines either! Add some splatters around the page as you go. Dry with a heat tool.


Step 4: After the yellow is dry, repeat Step 3 using Colour Blast - Shimmer Spray - Fire Engine and dry with a heat tool.


Step 5: After the red is dry, repeat Step 3 using Colour Blast - Shimmer Spray - Deep Water and dry with a heat tool.


 Step 6: When all of the Shimmer spray is completely dry, layer some Simple Stories - Life in Color Collection - Assorted 12x12 patterned papers around the photograph and adhere onto the page. I have also added a couple of different sized doilies from my stash underneath these layers.


Step 7: Add a title to your page using stickers from the Simple Stories - Life in Color Collection - Expressions Cardstock Stickers Sheet. I have added some white doodling around the edge of some letters to help them stand out on top of a darker background. 




The full list of products that I have used on this layout include...

Well that is it from me today, thanks so much for stopping by and until next time, happy scrapping!

Camel Ride Fun Sketch Challenge inspiration with Amy Prior

Hi there Scrappingclearly fans! Amy Prior back with you all again today, this time sharing my layout example for the current Sketch Challenge designed by the fabulous Peg Hewitt for Scrappingclearly this month. You can checkout the current challenge details here.  


Here is my example layout for the sketch...


To create this layout, start by spraying some Heidi Swapp - Color Magic Banner Delights with
Colour Blast - Shimmer Spray - Deep Water.


Mix some Vicki Boutin Art Crayons Set #1 with water and use a paint brush to add splotches over the top of Pebbles - DIY Home Collection - 12x12 Foil Woodgrain paper.


Follow this step for 3 different colours of the Vicki Boutin Art Crayons Set #1.


Start with the lighter colour crayon first to avoid loss of colour through mixing.


Open up the Colour Blast - Shimmer Spray - Deep Water lid and sprinkle some over the background randomly.


Here are the closeups of the finished layout...


I have then layered lots of rectangles and squares of Simple Stories - Life in Colour Collection - Assorted 12x12 patterned papers underneath and around my photograph alongside a Lemon Lush - Gold Paper Doilies and the Colour Blast - Shimmer Spray - Deep Water covered Heidi Swapp - Color Magic Banner Delights.


I have finished off the layout by embellishing with various items from Simple Stories - Life in Color Collection - Clear Stickers, Simple Stories - Life in Color Collection - Fundamentals Cardstock Stickers, Simple Stories - Life in Color Collection - Expressions Cardstock Stickers, Simple Stories - Life in Color Collection - Enamel Dots, Simple Stories - Life in Color Collection - Brads, and Heidi Swapp Fabric Bows - Gold.


Well that is it from me today, thanks so much for stopping by and until next time, happy scrapping!

Crazy Fun with Amy Prior

Hi there Scrapping Clearly fans!! Amy Prior here with you today for my first ever blog post as an official Design Team member. I am so excited to be here sharing my passion with you all and cannot wait to be inspired by you all as well. 


Today I have a layout to share with you all that I have created using the fabulous September Sketch Challenge as my inspiration. You can checkout the sketch challenge details here. 


To create this layout, I have started by cutting out various sized circles out of some 12x12 White Marshmallow Heavy Weight Cardstock. I have cut these out using my Cricut Explore machine however you could also use. Once the circles were cut out, I have filled them in by using various patterned papers from the Pink Paislee C'est La Vie Collection including both 6x6 and 12x12 size papers. 


Once all my circles were filled with patterned paper, I then had fun layering some of the Pink Paislee C'est La Vie Collection papers underneath my photograph along with some Pink Paislee C'est La Vie Ephemera bits, a doily, and a Heidi Swapp 4x4 Metallic Frame set on top. I found this circular chipboard in my stash that added the perfect bit of contrast after being covered with Black Ranger Archival Ink.


The final addition for this layout was adding some embellishments and a touch of mixed media. Firstly I have added some Cocoa Vanilla Hello Lovely Arrows. I just love these gorgeous little charms and definitely need some more for my stash! The gold circle stickers that I have added are from the My Minds Eye On Trend 2 Alphabet and Words Sticker Pack and I have also added lots of accents etc. using the Pink Paislee C'est La Vie Puffy Stickers, Pink Paislee C'est La Vie Ephemera, and the Pink Paislee C'est La Vie Washi Sheets. Finally a little mixed media addition with some dribbles of Colour Blast Shimmer Spray in Sunshine, Rose Petal, and Deep Water Colours.


As an after thought, I also added some black rhinestones from my stash to bring more black contrast to the background. This could have also been achieved by adding some black stamping etc. also. 

The complete product list for this layout includes...

12x12 White Marshmallow Heavy Weight Cardstock
Pink Paislee C'est La Vie Collection Papers, Puffy Stickers, Ephemera, and Washi Tape Sheet
Heidi Swapp 4x4 Metallic Frame
Black Ranger Archival Ink
Cocoa Vanilla Hello Lovely Arrows
Colour Blast Shimmer Spray in Sunshine, Rose Petal, and Deep Water Colours
My Minds Eye On Trend 2 Alphabet and Words Sticker Pack

Well that is it from me today. I hope I have inspired you all to think outside the box with your products and have a go at this month's awesome Sketch Challenge. Don't forget to head on over to the Scrapping Clearly store by clicking here to purchase all these fabulous products and more.

Until next time, happy scrapping!
