C87 JOURNEY IN TIME COLLECTION -  BY EWELINA GRYGLAK 

12x12 scrap page ‘Enjoy the Journey’

For this layout you will need:

Globe Trotter C87 001 x 1

Travelogue C87 008 x 1

Enjoy Your Journey Chipboard DC87 004

Stencil DS 054 C87 range

For flowers: In Transit C87 003 + enamel dots as centre

Other requirements:  clear matte gesso, white gesso, black gesso, texture paste, gouache paints, double-sided foam tape, glue

Instructions:

STEP 1:

Your base page is Globe Trotter C87 001, using the luggage side.  To make sure the wet mediums don’t soak through the page, prime it with a layer of clear matte gesso (that will make it waterproof but will not fade out the original paper design).

To make the area around the photo faded so that the layers are easily visible and more effective, use a thin layer of white gesso. Let it dry (or use a dryer if you’re impatient like me).

STEP 2:

Using the Stencil DS 054 C87 range and black gesso, make a stamp - try to aim for it to be 1/3 on the area where the paper cluster will be attached.

STEP 3:

While the ‘stamp’ is drying, use green and purple gesso to create a ‘frame’ for the photo. It doesn’t matter that the black gesso is still wet, you can dry them together, once you have finished with sprinkling on your paint. You have to make a decision when you have enough paint on (it might be a good idea to dry it with a dryer every now and then and see what it looks like dry; then add more paint if necessary).

STEP 4:

When you think you will only need a little bit of paint sprinkles on, stop and put it on the side to dry.

STEP 5:

While the page with the wet mediums is drying, make your paper flowers. I make mine using Silhouette cut files and In Transit C87 003 paper. You can use any flowers you want.

STEP 6:

With white gesso, prime the Enjoy Your Journey Chipboard DC87 004. Separate the phrase from the frame. Paint the phrase white and the frame purple. Set to the side to dry.

STEP 7:

You will now make a paper cluster using Travelogue C87 008. All you need to remember is that the top layer needs to be a little bit bigger than the photo you are using; the remaining layers can be smaller as long as you assemble them in a way that makes them stick out from under one another. Use both sides of the paper to add colour and create the illusion of dimension.

STEP 8:

Attach the paper cluster to the page, aim for it to cover 1/3 of the black ‘stamp’ and be in the centre of the sprinkled ‘frame’.

STEP 9:

Using the Stencil DS 054 C87 range and texture paste, make a stamp - try to aim for it to be partly overlapping with the black ‘stamp’ and partly on the paper cluster. Add the final layer of gouache sprinkles. Let it dry.

STEP 10:

Using double-sided foam tape, attach the photo to the paper cluster. Then add the Enjoy Your Journey Chipboard DC87 004 and the flowers.

Chipboard: DC 88 009 Fairy in Moon

Ink: Tim Holtz mini

Stencil: DS 005 Floral Dreams Filigree Frame

Other: Cardstock, Ink, Alpha, flowers

C85 SHABBY ROSE COLLECTION - BY JEANINE DE BRUYN
LIFE IS GOOD

Requirements for this layout:

-2 sheets of Lattice Rose (C85007)

-1 sheet of Peeled Roses (C85001)

-1 sheet of Rose wood (C85 008)

-2 sheets of brown cardstock

-1 sheet of off white cardstock

-1 sheet of pink cardstock

- Chipboard pieces:DC85011, DC85010, Life is good title

-Sticker sheet ST85001

Lace, ribbon, flat back pearls, brads, cheesecloth/gauze.

Distressing tool, brown chalk/ink, white gesso, stencil of choice (I used Fabscraps DS 026) brown and light pink paint.

Instructions:

STEP 1:

Tear 2 fairly large strips from one of the Lattice Rose papers, mine measure roughly 10cm and 13cm,  I just started tearing from the top of the paper and then tear down at an angle to the bottom of the paper.

STEP 2:

Tear strips from the Peeled Roses sheet, You will need 3 strips and they don’t need to be too wide.

STEP 3:

Tear 2 stips from the Rose wood paper, being careful not to tear the hinges on the paper, cut out the 4 hinges from the paper before you start tearing. Again you don’t need very thick strips of this paper.

The brown cardstocks will be your background sheets.

STEP 4: The left page of layout-

Working from right to left, start arranging your torn strips of paper on the right side of the cardstock, your 13cm Lattice rose paper should be on the ‘top’ and then layer a strip from each of your other patterned papers under it, you can add lace and gauze between the layers too. Remember to chalk and distress each piece before you glue them down. I curled some of my edges up so don’t put glue on the edges of the strips.

STEP 5:

Then tear smaller pieces from your left over patterned papers and glue these to the bottom left of your page.

STEP 6:

Position your stencil over your torn strips and then go over the stencil with white gesso. Leave to dry.

STEP 6:

Cut your photo mats, I have 1 – 10x15cm and 2- 7.5x10cm photo mats. Chalk and distress them.

STEP 7:

Cut out a tag from the peeled roses paper measuring 14x6cm, chalk and distress. I added another strip of paper (2.5x14cm) from the rose wood paper to the center of my tag with a little bit of lace behind it.

STEP 8:

I then painted my chipboard title with brown paint and embossed it with pink embossing powder, if you don’t want to emboss it dry brushing it with pink paint will give it a similar effect.

STEP 9:

I stuck the large heart from the sticker sheet onto a piece of white cardstock and cut it out.

STEP 10:

Glue down your title to the middle of the tag and add the heart behind the title. Add some ribbons to the tag.

STEP 11:

Paint the chipboard floral piece, with brown paint and dry brush with a bit of pink, add a few flat back pearls. Glue it to the top right of your page. Once the gesso is dry add your tag and photo mats to the layout.

STEP 12:

Cut out some of the rose clusters from your second sheet of lattice rose paper, add some of these cut outs under your torn strips, to your tag and even behind your photo mats.

STEP 13:

Add two of the hinges you cut out to the large photo mat, I added silver brads to my hinges. Add a few flat back pearls to the layout, then distress the edges of the brown cardstock, I used a white pen to draw stitching around the edges of the page.

STEP 14: Right page of the layout-

Arrange your torn strips from the left side of the brown cardstock, again your lattice rose piece on top and the other strips behind it, add lace and gauze as desired. Distress and chalk before sticking your strips down.

STEP 15:

Add a few more torn strips to the right side of the page.

STEP 16:

Then repeat the stencil and gesso pattern over the torn pieces as you did previously. Cut a tag from a leftover piece of the rose wood paper (mine measures 6x12cm) chalk and distress the tag and add some ribbons.

STEP 17:

Cut your photo mats, mine are the same as the previous page.

STEP 18:

Cut out the small heart from the sticker sheet and glue it onto white cardstock.

Remove the small floral frame from the chipboard set (DC85010), paint it brown and drybrush it with pink. Again cut out more rose clusters.

STEP 19:

Add your photo mats to the layout, remembering  to  glue the tag behind one of your small photo mats. Add the hinges to your large photo mat and then add the chipboard piece to the bottom right of your page.

STEP 20:

Add the rose clusters between the papers, on the chipboard frame and behind your photo mats.

STEP 21:

Add some flat back pearls here and there. Distress the edges of the brown cardstock and add your pen stitches.

I hope you have fun creating this layout.

C86 MOTHER EARTH COLLECTION - by Gail Macaulay

For this layout you will need:

Botanical Bliss C86 002 x 1

Berry Bliss C86 008 x 1

Butterfly Script C86 006 x 1

Wreath and A Beautiful Day Chipboard

Stencil DS051 C86 range

Brown satin ribbon

Other requirements:  Lindys Stamp Gang Sprays and Embossing Powder, metal flowers, old doily or lace, gauze, muslin, flowers and leaves, Texture Paste and Distress Ink. 

Instructions:

STEP 1:

Your base page is Botanical Bliss from the C86 002, using the script side.  If you are like me, a sewer, you will like to conserve as much paper as you can so cut out the centre of the page leaving a 6cm border all the way around.  You will be left with a “frame” and will have the piece from the centre for other projects.

Then take a piece of cardstock of your choice of colour and cut 2 strips from top and side of 4cm, leaving you with a square piece of cardstock of 26cm x 26cm.  Distress the edges, curling up the paper in different places.  To distress I usually use the outside blade of scissors to scuff my page, even though I have a whole lot of fancy distressers!  Glue this cardstock down on top of your base paper. 

STEP 2:

From Berry Bliss C86 008, berry and leaves side, cut two strips of paper from top and side of 3cm.  You will then have a square piece of paper measuring 24cm x 24cm. Distress edges of this paper too.  Tuck lace under and between the Berry Bliss and the brown cardstock.

STEP3:

From Butterfly Script C86 006, butterfly side, cut a strip of 8.5cm from top of this paper.  Then cut this strip in half, you will have 2 rectangles of 8.5cm x 15cm. Glue one down in the top left hand corner 2.5cm from top and side edge. Keep the other piece for step 5.

STEP 4:

Using the strip of paper, you cut from the Berry paper cut it slightly longer than the Berry base.  Glue this strip 6cm from top of base right the way across, it will protrude about .5cm on right hand side.

STEP 5:

Then use the remainder of the strip of paper measuring 8.5cm x 15cm from step 3, 7cm from top left corner and 2.5cm from side of Berry Bliss base.

STEP 6:

Cut a rectangle from the strip of Berry Bliss paper you have left over from step 2, of 10cm.  The piece will then measure 10cm x 6cm.  Glue this down 10cm from top and 4cm from left hand side.  Using the remainder of this strip cut to 16cm x 6cm, and glue down 15cm from top left and 9cm from left-hand side.

      STEP 7:

Then cover entire page with Clear Gesso.  (This is to prime the paper so that your ink and other mediums you use do not just sink into the porous paper.  This also makes your inks to go further.)  Dry well.

      STEP 8:

Using Texture Paste, and using stencil DS051 from C86 range, stencil on your pattern as per photo, or as you wish.  Whilst the texture paste is still wet sprinkle Distress Embossing Powder Vintage Photo on top.  Heat with heat gun.  This embossing powder creates the ‘rusty’ look.  Spray with LSG ‘Clam Bake Beige’, and dry.

      STEP 9:

Using the smallest of the wreath chipboards emboss with Lindy’s Stamp Gang colours Byzantine Bronze and Scotch Broom Yellow.  Cut the wreath just above the leaves of the smaller of the two sprays and above the sprig of leaves as per photo.  Reserve the 3^rd spray.

      STEP 10:

Tear a piece of the script paper from step 1, if you have reserved the centre.  If not cut from a fresh piece of paper or co-ordinating paper a strip measuring 17cm x 5.5cm.  Ink edges of this piece with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Tape a piece of brown satin ribbon from the collection under the torn edge.

     STEP 11:

Tear 2 pieces’ text paper from an old book about 7cm x 5cm. 

      STEP 12:

Fussy cut butterflies from Butterfly Script paper as you like.  I downloaded digital sheets of butterflies for the smaller ones from the internet, which matched the paper exactly.

      STEP 13:

Now let’s assemble all these pieces plus a few extras as per photo.

      STEP 14:

Glue down lace or a piece of an old torn doily and gauze using Gel Medium.

      STEP 15:

Place your embellishments as per photo.

      

      STEP 16:

Cut a piece of cardboard or use foam board to elevate your photo, before you glue the photo down lay a bit of muslin on top of the board ruche it up, then stick photo on top of it.  Glue butterflies in position.

    

      STEP 17:

Cover your photo and spray LSG Cotton Candy in a few places of your layout as per photo, or as desired. 

STEP 18:
Lastly lightly gesso the Chipboard “A Beautiful Day” and glue down on left bottom of the photo.
