October Creations with Tania

Hello there!

Tania joining you today to share a couple of projects I created for this month using lots of gorgeous Scrapmatts goodies! 

 First up I have a mini canvas to share...... 

"You Make Me Smile"

I wanted to add lots of texture to the background of the canvas so I used a couple of Stencils Numbers and New Cheese.  I covered the canvas with both stencils until I was happy.

Here is a photo before I added any colour.

Next I had some fun adding lots of Dylusions sprays.  I wanted to add some black to tone in with the Black Chains & Gears chipboard I was using.  Below is the canvas before I embellished it.

Next I added lots of paper layers and then layered my photo over them.  I still wanted to add a bit more texture so I used some Gold Leaf and Prima Art Stones.   I added the chipboard Chains & Gears, a chipboard title and finished off the canvas with lots of yummy blooms.

Here's some close ups.....

Next up is a layout to share.....

"Timeless Memories"

To start I added some texture to the background page using the Damask Stencil.  Once dry I splashed on some Dylusions spray.  I added some paper layers and then the photo overlapping them.  I framed my photo using an Ornate Frame in the white finish.  I coloured a couple of page borders using the same dylusions sprays I had on the background page.  After I had embellished the page with flowers I tucked the chipboard page borders into the flower clusters.  I finished off my page with a chipboard title.

Hello.........

Hello there!

My name is Tania Ridgwell and welcome to my first post as part of the Scrapmatts Design Team.

I am super excited to be part of the design team and can't wait to share my creations with you 

 showcasing the gorgeous goodies from Scrapmatts.

I would like to thank 

 Sofie & Andrew for giving me this opportunity to share my creations and work with their fabulous products.

My first project I would like to share with you is my Design Team Canvas.

I created the background for my canvas using the gorgeous Damask Stencil and some Dylusions sprays......  

I also used some of the new chipboard from the Wildflowers range and added a piece of the chipboard Chains here and there.........

The other project/s I have to share is a couple of cards featuring two of the Scrapmatts Ornate Frames.

On the first card I used Ornate frame 03, I just loved this one and the gorgeous detail.  I altered it by using a little frosty glitter shimmer paste on it, gives it a bit of sparkle don't you think?

Second card...

Again I used another frame this card the Ornate Frame 10, I altered this frame by adding Lilac glitter paste, it just gave it a slight tinge of colour and then added some raw chipboard flourishes to the flower clusters on my card.

Scrapmatts with CSI Case Files

Hi everyone! Christine here posting a couple of layouts for Scrapmatts in collaboration with CSI for June.  I solved 2 different case files and of course I used lots of Scrapmatts chipboards and stencils.  Let's have a look at the first case:

 

 

I’ve appropriately titled the first layout "Zoom" as my youngest daughter literally zooms her way around with her balance bike…no fear whatsoever!  Red for her energy, circles for the bike wheels, and more colors for her fun loving personality.  This page embodies her and her balance bike to a tee.

 

 

Scrapmatts chipboards: Bubbles (CB5131); Circles (CB5152); Assorted Words (CB6106); Scrap Words (CB1238)

Scrapmatts Stencil: Clouds (ST1030)

 

I’m in love with the new circles chipboard.  Sofie and Andrew are doing a fantastic job creating new chipboard and stencil designs.  I’ve embossed it in different colors to match the green and cantaloupe colors of the case.  Check out the adorable clouds.  Thanks to the clouds stencil it’s easy to add them to your backgrounds.  The cream color on the scrap words chipboards are lovely & these are great for filling up little spaces in your projects.

 

I’ve used a couple of assorted words chipboards, some painted and some embossed.  I’ve also used the off cut to mat the photos…nothing must go to waste.  I’ve painted the bubbles chipboard in multi color to match the blue, green and yellow shades of the palette.  I love how these bubbles chipboards have dots in them.

 

So that's the first case solved.  Now it's time to have a look at the second case:

 

 

My daughter loves to imagine from a very young age...imaginative play, singing, dancing, acting, etc., so this page is a homage to her.  I've thrown purples in the layout which is her favourite color and also matches the palette of the case. 

 

Scrapmatts Chipboards: Hearts Frame (CB4005), Ornate Frame (CB5002), Birds (CB5045), Page Borders (CB2005), Scrap Words (CB1238), Scrap Words (CB6112)

Scrapmatts Stencils: Strings (ST1021), Circles (ST5006)

 

How awesome are the new Scrapmatts stencils? The strings stencil would have to be my new favourite.  The ornate frames chipboards are gorgeous and I couldn't resist layering them to feature her photo.  The hearts frame has been painted and the ornate frame has been embossed.

 

Did I mention how pretty the birds chipboards are? These come in a pack of 2 sets and has separate adorable wings that you can add on top of the chipboard.

 

I hope you enjoyed my post today.  Do join the CSI case challenges here for the chance to win an amazing Scrapmatts prize pack! Thanks for popping in and I'll see you again next month.

 

Cheers,
