Canvas Panels with Whimsical

Hello everyone,

Sunila & Aditi here with a pictorial on creating mixed media canvas panels using the Paperiicous Whimsical Collection and other products.

Here's a look at the panels:


Here's a step by step quick tutorial:

Step 1: Prime the canvas using Papericious Heavy White Gesso


Step 2: Add texture to the panels. Using a stencil apply Papericious White Crackle Paste.


Step 3: Add colour. Use Papericious Spritz Sprays and mist them with water to blend them. Leave a few white spaces.


Step 4: Paint chipboard elements with Papericious Chalk Paints.


Step 5: Fussy cut elements from the Papericious Whimsical Collection, and pick other embellishments- lace, chippies, etc.


Step 6: Layer and adhere the elements on to the canvas panels to complete them.

Here is Lekha's project to inspire you to play along:
My current favourite paper pack is the Papericious Whimsical Paper Pack. I am altering an old videotape box! (Yes, now that's gonna be super old!). I would later be using this as a pretty box to house my zig markers. I have first painted the box using Cyber Grape Chalk Paint and then added papers in layers and fussy cut images from the Paper pack. The spine of the box has been given a new look using the Circle Flourish Lace Trim from Papericious. Look at the Butterfly Chipboard, it's such a delicate and intricate design. Another favourite this season is the white chippies, I have used the Cycle chippie from the fancy fence set. To finish the box, I have scattered few sequins from the Sugar Plum Mix


And now, here is a look at our creation (Sunila & Aditi):
We have decorated the Papericious MDF Desk Organiser using the Blush Paper Pack- and Papericious Decoupage Glue. We fussy cut elements from the paper pack to use as embellishments. We used the Plum Chalk Paint to paint the remaining sides. We used the Mermaid Flower white chippies and Butterfly Mini Shakers to decorate it further. 




Hope you're inspired and we look forward to your participation! 





Pocket Page with Let's Go

Hello everyone,

Sunila and Aditi here to inspire you all with more ideas using the Let's Go Paper Pack.

Memory keeping and especially for travel memories is always fun. Today, we have created a pocket page using this collection, along with some chippies and chalk paint. Pocket pages are a method of scrapbooking. Usually, a single page measures 12" x 12", and is a transparent plastic sheet, with different partitions. So one can put different sizes of pictures, create small cards, store tickets, or small souvenirs, etc.

Here's a look at what we have created:


We used different sheets from the collection, layered some papers, fussy cut elements and layered them along with chippies painted with chalk paint. The page overall looks colourful and vibrant. And behind each of the cards, we can insert our photos, so that makes it a double page spread.






We also made a postcard. Die cut a base paper, added some fussy cut elements and drew lines. One can make these and carry, and send out postcards to friends while on a holiday.

Hope you're inspired to document your Vacation Memories!

Whimsical Layout Tutorial

Hello everyone,

Sunila and Aditi here today with a quick and easy Layout Tutorial. Today we are revisiting Papericious' older products and ranges- The Whimsical Paper Collection, Collage Chipboards, Jute Cords, Spritz Sprays and Chalk Paints along with the new release Papericious Twinkling Spark.

A layout is usually at 12"x12" piece of art, with one or more photographs as the focal. It initially was a way to scrap memories and journal about them in a 12" format. Now, the scope is wider, with people using it as a way of expression also apart from scrapping memories.

Here's a look at the layout we will be creating today:


Let's begin:

Step 1: Choose a background paper from the collection. We've chosen the one with a scene as it already lends meaning to our layout. We then brushed it with Clear Gesso to prime the surface.


Step 2: Choose a stencil, and spray some Spritz colours randomly around the focal image to create texture and add colour.



Step 3: Pick a few background stamps and stamp randomly onto the background with black ink.



Step 4: Instead of a focal photograph, we decided to use a quote from the paper collection. We also fussy cut elements from the sheet in the pack. Use corrugated cardboard to give depth to the focal quote.


Step 5: Choose other elements for layering. We picked lace, floral blooms, and collage chipboard elements. We coloured the chipboard pieces with Papericious Chalk Paints. We coloured the blooms and lace with the same sprays. We're also using the jute cord in our layering.



Step 6: Once happy with the arrangement, glue it all down. Mix  Papericious Soft Gloss Gel with Twinkling Spark, and randomly apply it onto the layout.


With that the layout is complete. Here are some close-up shots:
