Winter Market Cards for Scrap Shotz

  Hello. Just popping in to show some cards that I made for a special project here in Winnipeg. As you may have seen in the news, we are in as close to a full lockdown as you can get. There are so many personal care homes struggling with outbreaks and/or visitor restrictions. Our local radio station is collecting cards for the residents. So my daughter and I spent the weekend making cards.

I made 4 cards with the Carta Bella Winter Market Collection. I used some of the cut apart cards, 12x12 papers, ephemera and enamel dots. I used foam to attach some of the stickers so they pop off the card.

For the final card I used the Creative Expressions Winter Wreath Embossing Folder. I used Distress Inks in two different colours, dabbed red paint for berries and glued an embroidery thread around a stamped sentiment. 

I still see the Winter Market Collection in the shop, so head on over and check it out!

Happy Birthday Layouts and Cards for Scrap Shotz

Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well and finding some extra scrappy time. It felt good to get scrappy again after a few crazy weeks. It was even better having this bright and cheery birthday line to work with. This might be the first time you've products by this company - P13. Check out the links in this post to see the products up close in the Scrap Shotz shop.

I'll start with this birthday layout using a cut file. If you would like to use this cut file, it is free on the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog. It is designed by Paige Evans.

I used paper #5 for the background and a piece of white cardstock for the cut file. I then used all the different papers in the collection to back the title. I traced around the file and cut the insides slightly smaller than my tracing and use a glue pen to attach the cut outs.

 

 I fussy cut lots of pictures from paper #7 to decorate the page. I used some dimensional glue dots to lift them off the page a little. I added a few phrase stickers from this sheet. The flag at the top is from this tag pack. Lastly, the date is done in these alpha stickers.

I made another layout using the March sketch from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine. Check out their Facebook group! For this layout, I used paper #4 as the background. I matted the photos with Bazzill Lagoon cardstock and paper #3.

The yellow dots are Liquid Pearls. I put them on scalloped circles I made with punches. Many of the tags are from the flag pack and the circle pack. Can you figure out where the yellow paper came from with my journaling? It is the backing of the tag packs.

Lastly, I used some leftover papers to make 2 cards. Just so happens we had two birthdays this month so the timing was perfect. 

The cards use some fussy cutting and cut apart cards. The finishing touch was using the Liquid Pearls. Here are some close-ups.

Starry Night Christmas Cards for Scrap Shotz

Christmas is almost here so it's time to finish up those Christmas cards! The December kit is amazing! It is full of Kaisercraft - Starry Night products. So many fun embellishments from gold foil ephemera to twine to wood veneer. Let's take a look. I made 10 cards in the A2 size.

Card #1
I used a sketch from the October 2019 Page Maps collection. The Curio embellishments were the perfect fit. The papers are from the 6x6 paper pad. The paper pad has a bunch of punch out phrases and trimmings which came in very handy.

Card #2

I used a square punch to make the background from the 6x6 paper pad. The wood veneers fit into each sqaure and some gold paint topped them off. A piece of twine added a focal point.

Card #3

Twine, ephemera and some 6x6 papers.

Card #4

I fussy cut some gold foil flowers from a 6x6 paper. I used some ephemera to top it off. Those corner  pieces are actually the punch outs from one of the embellishments. I used some gold thread from my stash as well.

Card #5

Here I layered a bunch of 6x6 papers. The gold tag is so pretty and topped off with some twine and gold painted wood veneer. 

Card #6

Some more 6x6 papers, gold foil ephemera and twine. The gold dots are from the Thickers letter pack.

Card #7

I used some Stonehenge Bazzill cardstock and 6x6 papers. Wood veneer and gold thread finish it off. 

Card #8

This card uses some 6x6 papers and ephemera.

Card #9

This card uses Kraft Bazzill cardstock layered with 6x6 papers, ephemera and twine.

Card #10

My daughter really wanted to help with the cards so she helped with this one. She chose the papers. I suggested using a punch to back the tag in the center.

Thanks for taking a look! Have a wonderful holiday season!

Carta Bella Snow Much Fun Kit from Scrap Shotz

Find those winter pictures because this kit is the perfect way to scrap those memories! Carta Bella has made the Snow Much Fun Collection with shades of teal to make your snowy photos pop. It also has some cute stickers and chipboard you won't want to pass up.

I made a layout inspired by one of the phrases in the kit: the snuggle is real. I thought of this picture of my daughter in her 'nest'. She piles blankets and pillows in her bed so sometimes I can't even see her in there.

I decided to build her a nest by cutting strips of paper and gluing them randomly. My kit also came with Nuvo Pearl Rectangles. They are so pretty I had to add them to the nest. I used Bazzill London Fog Cardstock from a previous kit to cut out tree branches to support the nest. In behind, I used clear gesso and smooshed some green and blue paint on top.

The title is made with chipboard and words from a cut apart card. The Thickers are from a previous kit. The tags are from the ephemera pack and the cute girl and bear with their blankets are from the sticker sheet in the paper pack.

I also had some birthdays to celebrate this week so I made some cards.

The first card is for a 90th birthday! I cut the number out on my Silhouette and placed it over a shaker pocket filled with the Nuvo Pearl Rectangles. I used a punch to cut out the scallop circle and did some stitching on my sewing machine.

The second card pieced together many elements from the kit. The sentiment in the picture didn't make sense so I covered it with one that did. I used a few pieces from the ephemera pack and some stickers from the paper pack.

That's all for now. I'll be back on Wednesday with all new inspiration. Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!

Carta Bella Christmas Market Cards for Scrap Shotz

Carolyn here today with some Christmas cards. The new Carta Bella Christmas Market Collection is perfect for card making. The puffy stickers are small enough for cards and there are cut apart cards in the paper kit. I also received some Kaisercraft stamps called "Let It Snow" and a Kaisercraft stencil called "Festive Foliage" which added those special touches to the cards.

The top card uses foam to pop the sentiment off the card. I cut the sentiment out of one of the papers. A die cut from the ephemera pack and some puffy stickers finish it off. The bottom cards layered papers from the collection kit and used some pop dots. All the cards are A2 size. 

The top card uses the Kaisercraft stamps for the sentiment and the trees. I used two different colours of ink and two different sized trees. To make the trees smaller, I held a scrap paper over the card so only the top part of the stamp touched the card. I like how it made the trees appear to be in the distance. I added a couple puffy stickers and the barn and sled stickers.

The bottom card is several layers of paper and a few stickers from the kit. The sentiment is from the Kaisercraft stamp set.

My last set of cards used the stencil and Kaisercraft stamps. The bottom two cards used modeling paste mixed with paint. I taped the stencil down so it didn't move. The top card uses paint. It was a little trickier to not have the paint run under the stencil.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Christmas Joy Cards for Paper House Productions

Hello! I'm here to show you three really fun Christmas cards. I used the Christmas Joy Life Organized collection by Paper House Productions. All three cards required my Silhouette Cameo and corresponding files from their store to cut the images. I just love how they turned out!

Supplies: Christmas Puffy Sticker, Christmas Epoxy Sticker, Christmas Rice Paper Border Sticker, Peace Joy and Love 12" Double Sided Scrapbook Paper, Christmas Memories 12" Double Sided Scrapbook Paper, Christmas Joy Tags 12" Double Sided Foil Scrapbook Paper, Merry and Bright 3D Sticker, Christmas Magic Cardstock Multi Pack.

This snowman card is a piece of 12 x 12 white cardstock folded and then cut in half. I cut a square of the stripped paper and a slightly smaller square of brown paper. The first layer of the snowman is brown, then white, then red. I finished it off with some buttons and google eyes from my stash and Life Organized puffy stickers.

The window card is a layer of red paper, then white, then brown. The reindeer, trees and green strip are from the rice paper border stickers. The stars are a mix of epoxy and puffy stickers and the sentiment is from the cardstock multi pack.

The candy cane card is a layer of brown paper that I back-stitched with embroidery thread before adhering it to the white cardstock. I cut those candy canes a few times before getting the stripes to line up the way I wanted! The center stickers are 3D and the surrounding stars are epoxy stickers.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Now I just need to decide who gets to receive these cards!
