My scrappin' life

Crew Member Wednesday With Linda

Hi everyone! Welcome to another Crew Member Wednesday. Linda is here today sharing how she created some beautiful wrapping paper using and old brown bag and her Gelli Arts® gel printing plate! Now who wouldn't love to get such a beautiful package in the mail?!!

Hello !

There is nothing like receiving and giving happy mail, don’t you agree? And if the parcel or letter I receive is decorated it really makes my day. I love it when a creative friend put some extra effort in decorating the letter or parcel. This time it is my turn to return this gesture.  A dear friend of mine had her birthday late June and I managed to get this parcel on its way in time for her day.

Here is the video on how a made the wrapping paper. The paper I’m using is a recycled heavy duty paper bag.

 

And some detail pictures:

Crew Member Wednesday With Hermien

Hello and welcome to Crew Member Wednesday!! 

Today it's Hermien's turn and she made some lovely cards in bright yellow and magenta, such a gorgeous color combination! She's sharing her process here with you!

 

******

It took a while to get into the inspirational mood, in fact it took so long I even dared to think that the creativity had stayed at my old home and that it was there to stay... but nonsense of course!

I made a few cards I liked (but not a lot ;-)) and then I decided to get my fingers dirty and to paint over the background was the answer. And this is the result.

 

First I made a background by randomly spreading paint with an old creditcard, dabbing paint through those beautiful masks and stamping the text before cutting the (300gr watercolour) paper into 6 squares.

Then I used some favorite 'Birgit' stamps and embossed those on top followed by (finger) painting around the embossed print.

Very simple but effective!

The flowers even looked like a small painting, so no extra's were added.

The hearts did get some washi tape and the 'awsome' stamp to make it complete.

I hope you like them as much as I do (or is this only a feeling of relieve after my creative melt down??? ☺☺☺)

Crew Member Wednesday With Karin

Hello! Welcome to Crew Member Wednesday. Today we have Karin with an explosion of color. I totally love the idea of die cutting circles out of these papers with so many patterns and details and colors. Karin made some beautiful cards with them but just imagine what more you can do with them, like using them in your art journal! 

******

Hello, it's Karin here!

Because I'm almost out of cards, I decided to make some.

First I made two inked backgrounds (A4) and used a lot of different stamps on it.

I edited the stamped prints with markers and a white pen and I also applied some nice glitter to the backgrounds using WOW! FabFoil. I added some accents with a mask.

Then I punched everything in circles with a circle punch and glued the circles on a firm piece of paper. I cut the paper into squares and at last I glued the squares onto green cardstock.

Crew Member Saturday With Femke

Hello! It's Crew Member Saturday and Femke is sharing a beautiful mixed media layout with you today! As always Femke is showing that mixed media and scrapbooking are a match made in heaven!!

Hello creatives,

It’s been a while since the last time I was on for a project, but here I am again. The last two times I made an Art journal Scrapbooking page. But this time I did an oldschool 12x12 Scrapbooking page. And this time I did a Scraplift. For people that are not familiar with this term, here’s a definition of the word scraplifting: “The act of taking someone else's scrapbook art and copying it or slightly modifying it into your own creation”. So that’s what I did. I took this Scrapbook page:

The original can be found here.

And this is what I made of it:

And some details of my project:

Here's a video of my process:

And if you like to make your own creation of this scraplift, please tag me on Instagram or facebook to show me what you’ve made!

 Thanks again. I hope I inspired you!

Crew Member Wednesday With Karen

Hi there! It's Crew Member Wednesday again and today we have Karen who is sharing a beautiful, colourful, abstract spread in her altered book journal. I think it is a totally cool idea using an old book as a journal like this!! Check out the video to see Karen's process.

 

 

*******

Hi everyone! It’s time for another Crew Member Wednesday and I’m creating again in my altered book junk journal.

 

I wanted to create a floral themed spread in my book to celebrate the summer we finally have begun! I used the tiny scribble marks contained in the Mirror of the soul stamp set to add doodle marks to the spread. I think this stamp set is one of my favorites from Birgit because it contains so many different elements that are so versatile.

 

I hope that you enjoy my video tutorial and get inspired to pull out your own journals and give this “black out” technique a try!
