On all of these layouts, I used myStampBOX stamp sets. I'm needing to add to my gallery on the website (www.mystampbox.com) so I thought I'd rock out some layouts with some of the fabulous new stamp sets I received a few weeks ago. I also used some incredible new pattern paper from KikiART. They are a product partner with mSB, so it was only fitting that I use them both on these layouts. AAANNNNNDDDDD........her pattern paper totally ROCKS.....it's so bright & colourful & fun & funky & hard-to-not-use!!!!! Hello......get me some MORE!!!!!
playHOUSE:
I heat embossed the "HOUSE" part of the title after I stamped with the Rustic Outlines letter stamps. I love how grungy these little letters look (even heat embossed).
The KikiART pattern paper used were: Antologia CHINA - Llamarades; Antologia Familia - Botones y costura; Hot Air Balloon - Clouds (this one is my absolute FAVE)!!!!!books:
What better way of telling the story of how Carter adores books than by using some fun & quirky KikiART paper: Antologia FAMALIA - Parejita, Casilleros & Puzzle chico; Antologia Magica - Arbol Magico. Check out her website for this very funky pattern paper.....it'll rock your next layout.
I used the mini letters stamp set from mSB for the title -- (i circles one of the titles with my journalling marker to emphasize it).
HOT new WHEELS:
Okay....so......we are all enjoying the banners so much these days that I thought I'd create one using some mSB stamps (funky flowers). Pretty cute, eh?!? I just stamped, cut around them with my scissors, cut them in half & stitched them on with my machine. Just love these funky, little stamps -- so incredibly versatile for sooooooo many layouts. (Hhhhmmmmm........maybe THAT will be one of my next posts.......how to use one stamp sets in a variety of ways....hhhhhhmmmmm).
KikiART pp: Hot Air Balloon - Clouds & Balloons (another one of my FAVES -- LOVE this whole line)!!!!!!; Antologia CHINA - Llamaradas.
Wings:
On this layout I used the Colourful Companions stamp set (better order one of these for yourself -- everyone LOVES them)!!!!! and heat embossed a bunch of them onto light green cardstock using white embossing powder. Then I rubbed purple dye ink over the cardstock AND the embossed butterflies. The dye ink sticks to the cardstock (of course), but will be resisted by the embossed butterflies. I fairly "old-school" technique, but I just hadn't tried it again for a while {lol}.
I used some of the newest pattern paper from Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker on this layout -- Tree Love, Blueberry Hill & My Friend Birdie. They are all so whimsical & fun to play with -- I love mixing all the lines 'cuz the colours don't necessarily match then; something I LOVE!!!!!!! Gotta get some more DT stuff together for her as well.............yikes!!!!?!
journalling: Asha, you have the most lovely little wings that you love to play with. Whether your wings are those of fairies....of a butterfly.....or those of an eagle....I pray that those wings will take you wherever you wish to go. I pray that you will use those wings to make all your dreams come true.
Hope you're inspired to enjoy your own crafting today {from the farm},
I used the cloud stamps from the Wishing you Sunshine set and stamped on a loose-weave fabric using waterbased dye ink in three shades. I then cut out the images on the fabric, afixed them to white cardstock, frayed the edged of the fabric & pop-dotted all three clouds.
