Water Fun-Platinum Scraps Challenge

Hello Everyone!

I am here today with a project using a sketch from Platinum Scraps! I had an awesome time last week playing in their challenge and thought I would play again! When I saw the sketch, I immediately knew what picture I wanted to use. Go on over there to Platinum Scraps and see all of the different interpretations of this great sketch from all of the talented designers!

For this layout, I used different DCWV paper collections; The Spring Stack, Butterfly & Blossom and Green Tea. The blue pp reminded me of a pool. To add a little interest to the paper, I painted some “waves” with acrylic paint and Marshmallow Glimmer Mist. Now the paper has shimmer!

In a similar pattern, just darker, I cut the bubbles and shadow for the title. I also used the Wave Border Punch (Fiskars) to punch a border in that same paper. The pattern from the mat was layered on the wave. The strips were cut from the paper collection. I used the Gazelle to cut the title.

The flowers are a combination of I Am Roses (gardenias, rose buds-orange, cherry blossoms), Prima (yellow and pink roses), Stamping Scrapping (white rose buds) and Michael’s Dollar Bin (white mini roses). The foliage was cut using Spellbinders dies. The butterflies are from a Martha Stewart punch and ZVA crystals were added.

That is it! I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Remember to go over to Platinum Scraps to play along! Have a great day! Kenya~

Hello Everyone!

I am dropping off a project I made for my BossKut YouTube videos. This is not a Design Team project although I could technically use it as one. I used the Florette 0367 for the doily. The flowers were from the Forget Me Nots (I shared these the other day) and the negatives from the Florette. I also made the roll flowers in the Fun Time software.

The “plate” is a recycled piece of chipboard. I used Brushed Corduroy Crackle Paint for the edge. The paper is Prima’s Madeline Collection which I distressed with the TH distress tool. The title was cut from a font in the FT software.

That is it! Thank you for stopping by. Don’t forget to check out BossKut for more files, projects and inspiration, Kenya~

Hello Gazelle Lovers,

Today I am sharing a card I made for my DH. This was actually the last project I made as a member of Scrappin’ with Sharon and Smokey’s Creative Team. Due to some personal issues, she is no longer designing cut files nor is she selling them at this time.

Anywho, I used Sharon’s cut file, Make the Cut and my trusty Boss Kut Gazelle to put this quick and simple card together. One thing I love about the Boss Kut Gazelle is the different tools that can be purchased with it or some of your existing product can be used in it as well. I used the embossing tip (you can also use any existing embossing tools that are shaped like an ink pen due to how the blade holder is designed) to emboss this cool scenic image. You will need the embossing mat which can be purchased from Bosskut.

While it was a simple design, I do hope you are inspired J Don't forget to check out Boss Kut for files and inspiration! Thanks for stopping by, Kenya~

*TIP*  The cool thing about the embossing mat is once the embossing part is worn, you can use the mat itself as a new cutting mat! How cool is that?
