Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up! Blog Hop - Traditional Christmas - Dec 21st 2023

 

 


 


Welcome to Dec 21st Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop.
We have over 6000 members, we exclusively use Stampin' Up! products

Each month we have Designs team members and members of the group create a layout
for the specific theme.  This month we are celebrating with Traditional Christmas.

 

 


I am a passionate Scrapbooker at heart, have been for over 20yrs now.
I ABSOLUTELY Love creating a scrapbook layout to a specific theme. 
Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year.
This year will be slightly different to our normal Christmas as we are not sure
where we will be this year due to medical appointments for my husband..

 Here is my layout, using products from the Sept 4 - Jan 3 Holiday Mini catalogue.

I used my Blending Brush with Real Red Classic Stampin' Pad to add colour to the top side
(debossed) side of the Christmas Tidings embossing folder before placing Basic White cardstockinside the folder then run through the Stampin' Cut n Emboss Machine.
This technique put the ink on the cardstock BUT not on the raised images.

 Next I used the Sending Cheer Bundle to create the Santa Hat, Stocking and the Presents for the edges of the Joy Of Christmas DSP Frames with the Embossed Photo Mat.




Well next I used the Mini Alphabet Dies from the NEW Upcoming Jan 4 - Apr 30 Mini Catalogue which is yet to be released BUT luckily for us Demostrators we can pre-order this product and use before it goes LIVE to customers  - Mini Alphabet Dies coming soon.


Using both Cherry Cobbler and Basic White for the letters to create my title.

Scrapbooking Global - Nov 16, 2023 - Layers Upon Layers

 

 


 


 
Welcome to Nov 16th Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop, which is held monthly.
You can join us over Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up!  FB group.
We have over 6000 members, we exclusively use Stampin' Up! products

We have Designs team member and members of the group create a layout
for the specific theme.

This month Delys Cram chose the theme Layer Upon Layer,
I am very HAPPY to say that this is my favourite kind of theme.
I am a layers girl and I love adding layers over layers.

I am sure that this month, you will LOVE what we have all created
as it is something a little bit different to our normal styles.

 


 

 Delys Cram as Creative Design Team Member this month, 
her favourite thing to do is add lots of layers to her Scrapbooking layouts.

 


 It is AMAZING how we start out with the very basics,
Stamps, Ink and Paper.
You may be joining me from Cheryl's Blog
which I am sure from previous layouts that Cheryl creates
it will be a FABULOUS design with this theme.

 


 AND then you add some layers to your project, here in this photo
I firstly added some Calypso Coral ink  directly to my 12 x12 White Cardstock
with a blending brush and the Foursquare Decorative Masks.
Then over the top of that I changed masks and
added some Shimmery White Embossing Paste with a spatula.
just randomly over the entire surface of my layout.
PLEASE NOTE - Wash your masks and spatula's immediately
after using embossing paste.
ANOTHER NOTE - If your Embossing Paste has harden since the last time
you used it, add little bits of water and moisten it again.
Little by Little is the best way to reactivate it.

 


 Next I added some stamping and fussy cutting to add some more layers.
I stamped the leaf leayer in Pretty Peacock onto the Delightful Floral DSP
and Fussy cut them out.
Next I stamped Petal Park 2 step stamps in Calypso Coral & Petal Pink
AND also Poppy Parade on Basic White Cardstock and then used
co-ordinating punch to cut all the flowers out.

 


Same again BUT for the right side of the layout this time <3 

 


I also used some of the Petal Park Punched Flowers on the Sentimental Park Dies.

 


 

Now this idea for the photos came from a French Demonstrator who
presented at OnStage@Home with the Lighter Than Air Suite.
Emilie Veyessilier presented a Birthday invitation so
I thought I would try to make it to include photos.
Which I did in a large version...




 

I always have trouble with my lighting for my photos, this layout is way brighter 
than what it is showing up here.
I hope you enjoyed my layout with Layers Upon Layers.
