Hi all! I'm back today to share with you all a video tutorial I made up using another NEW stencil I designed for The Crafter's Workshop stencils. This one is called 'She Said Yes" TCW659s (6x6") and the "You Are my Sunshine" TCW660s (6x6")....I made it in two sizes utilizing the 12x12 inch stencil for the larger book.
In the following video I show how I made the bride book (can be used as a guest sign in book or photo book) out of some cardboard, paper and stencils with texture paste. Enjoy!
You can watch on my Youtube channel HERE if you prefer to watch it larger.

Hope you enjoyed my video! This stencils are a brand NEW release for TCW and are being shown at the Creativation CHA show in Phoenix as we speak....so stores are ordering and should be in stores soon! I noticed many of you are asking when/where to get. I know for sure that The Scrapbook Diaries have ordered these stencils and will have them in the online store soon (Janene is a CHA right now as well so her store is on hold for a few days)....and of course if you have a local scrap store that carries TCW, they should have them soon as well (if your local store doesn't carry them, you can always ask to order them in, many stores like to hear what their customers would like to see in stores.)
Thanks again for stopping by my blog today, I always enjoy reading your kind words and feedback, makes my day! xo
Hello friends! I'm so happy to share with you all today the latest kit page I've made up for The Scrapbook Diaries, so much fun to scrap this pic of my sweet little great nieces! I always feel so fortunate to get to have such lovely products to play with in creating my scrapbook pages....and I feel even happier that all the products I use are available to everyone to create the same or similar pages through The Scrapbook Diaries Kits!
Janene Meyerowitz (Owner of The Scrapbook Diaries) always looks far and wide for the newest most exciting products on the market....yup, doesn't matter if the products need to be ordered from as far away as Poland or Australia, she brings them in so we can play! Here you can see some of the lovely layered wood embellishments she brought in from a company called Scrapeniec in Poland....love the delicacy of these pieces!
Included in this kit are these wonderful new Shimmerz Paints products, Strawberry Fields Creameez and Ruby Lost Her Slippers Inklingz! Love these colors combined!
I'm a sucker for butterflies on scrapbook pages, this kit includes a beautiful two-sided cut-out strip of butterflies....the hard part was picking my favorites for this page!
Another fun cut-out strip in this kit is a lily floral design. I love these, with just a little bit of fussy cutting and some foam adhesive tape, you get a really unique and pretty page embellishment!
As always, the kit comes with all the products included on my sample page....I'm crazy about those adorable little LemonCraft buttons!
And that vine! One of my all time favorite Prima Marketing Vines.....Janene was able to get in a limited number of these vines, so if this is a kit you want, be sure to move fast on it as this particular kit is quite limited and will go fast!
Also included in this kit is the Organic Matter stencil I designed for The Crafters Workshop! As always Janene offers the kit in Basic and Complete kits so that if you happen to already have certain items in your stash you can save a little money by taking the Basic kit.
And of course, this kit also comes with unlimited access to a private online video tutorial to show you how this page was made so that you can follow along and create the same page for yourself or you can tweak it to suit your own style! She also provides you with enough materials to create a bonus page (be sure to check out the bonus page Janene created with this kit! It's so beautiful!). I know you will have a lot of fun with this one! You can order your kit at The Scrapbook Diaries today! Fair warning, this one is quite limited so act quickly if you want it! :)
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today, I always appreciate the kind comments and feedback I get from my friends! Happy Scrapping!
I know, we are all in the mood for Spring! That's why this week I chose Bo Bunny's cheerful and beautiful 'Sweet Life' collection papers and embellishments to make a couple of cards. Spring is synonymous with weddings, so I thought it would be fun to create a bridal shower invite using 2 sizes of the Bo Bunny paper doilies.
It's super easy to create this cute little invite card using the Bo Bunny Doilies, some Sweet Life paper and some double dot cardstock. Here is a quick little step by step on how to fold the dress design....
The key to getting a nice frothy look to the skirt is folding slightly off center so that you can see the layers. Here is a close-up pic of the finished dress....
I simply added a strip of the green (Clover) double dot paper and made a little 'ribbon' for the dress and added a tiny white rose to finish the look.
A dear family friend just passed away and I wanted to make a sympathy card that could bring a little cheer to the family. So I used one of the pretty floral papers from Sweet Life, fussy cut some of floral images from another of the papers and added another folded doily and some coordinating buttons from this collection to add a finishing touch.
I also added a pretty pink blossom from the Blush package of Bo Bunny Blossoms. I attached my fussy cut little flowers with some foam adhesive dots to help them stand out from the page a little.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I really appreciate all the kind comments and feedback :)
Hello my dear friends! Do you ever look at your pile of old stash that you've had building up over the years and think, what will I ever do with this item? Years ago when I first started out scrapping I had bought some LARGE Prima blooms, I think I might have used one or two of them on a page but these blooms are seriously BIG, lol. I finally found a fun way to use them! I had been browsing around on Pinterest and saw this artist from Singapore named Grace Ciao who does her artwork with real live fresh flowers. I thought her artwork is really beautiful but thought it's sad that the blooms will die (I think she takes photos of her work and uses those). Anyway, it got me to thinking that it would be fun to use those old fabric petals that I had in my stash from those many years ago to create a fun mixed media style canvas. (You can use any fabric or paper flower petals for this project, I was just happy to find a good use for my old stash! :)
I was also looking to use this months (February's) Inspiration Board from Dusty Attic....so I gathered together a few of my favorite Dusty Attic chipboard pieces and colors from this palette from my Shimmerz Paints, and got to working. Here is a step by step Video Tutorial I put together on how I made this project...enjoy!
This project was a lot of fun to create! I began by quickly drawing up a figure, which I then traced out onto a piece of neutral color paper. Here is a copy of my figure, just right click on the photo and 'save image as' to your computer, then print out for your own use...
Here are a couple close up shots of the canvas. ...
I used Tombow adhesive to apply the petals to my project but on hindsight think I would use a different fabric/craft glue (like Aleene's) for this next time....I feel like the Tombow seeped through the fabric of my petals and left a bit of a subtle stain. (I will definitely be trying this out again! :)
Here is a list of the basic products I used to make this canvas:
Dusty Attic Chipboard:
~ Corner Flourish #3
~ Elegant Flourish #3
~ Feathers
~ Bookman ABC Set
Shimmerz Paint Products:
- Tuscan Sun Spritz
- Treasured Hymn Spritz
- Pumped up Purple Coloringz

- Don't Be Suede Vibez
- Have a Grape Day Texturez

- Coral Me Crazy Dazzlerz
- Ruby Lost Her Slippers Inklingz
- Miner Miner 49er Inklingz

Hello friends! Gabrielle here with you today! I have a fun and easy little card tutorial to share with you all today. It's the weekend and I wanted to have a little fun playing with some of my Shimmerz Paint products, and some of my Dusty Attic chipboard. So I gather up a few supplies, some watercolor paper and got playing!
Here is a quick l'il video tutorial I made up to show how I put it together! (Note:....my lighting is bright when I film so the card appears softer in color in the video...above is the actual colors) Enjoy!
Here are a couple of close-ups of the card design:
I used some old stash for this card, some Prima Hydrangea blooms I had from an old kit. I also used Martha Stewart leaf punch for the green leaves (just punched from cardstock and given a bit of a wrinkle.
I used one of my stamp designs, the Dandelion, as my center piece. I used some white embossing powder with it....I would recommend not to press as hard as I did for this card as I feel I lost a lot of my detailing because of this :)
Products Used in this project:
Dusty Attic Chipboard: Filigree Frame
Shimmerz Paints Products:
~ Moody Mauve Coloringz
~ Don't Citron Me Coloringz
~ Plum Pudding Sprtiz
~ Punked Up Purple Coloringz
~ Blue My Mind Inklingz

I was asked earlier this year if I would do a Guest spot for The Paper Crafter's Library. This is a really cool blog site that share's projects, tutorials and features new and exciting products from many manufacturing companies in the craft world.
I agreed to do a project for them for this month and decided to do a video tutorial to go with the project as well. Lately, as you know, I have really been loving mixed media. So for my project, I've done another canvas design using some Dusty Attic chipboard as well as some Shimmerz Paints products as well as some Tim Holtz papers and Distress Inks.
Here I'm just giving you a little peek at my project. To see the whole project and Video Tutorial, be sure to pop by The Paper Crafter's Library Blog.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! xo xo
Hi Everyone! It's my pleasure today to share my latest project using some beautiful new products from Bo Bunny! I just LOVE the new stickable stencils, it's so cool the way they keep the stencil in place as you are working and allows you to move and re-adjust, all the while keeping that tacky backing so that your designs always come out perfect!
I thought you might enjoy watching a step by step tutorial in which I show, start to finish how I created this little keepsake book/box using the gorgeous new Madeleine collection with some of the new Bo Bunny mixed media products (Pearlescents and Shimmer Sprays) and stencils. Just click the arrow above and enjoy!
I thought I would share a few close-up shots of the project that you can enjoy at your leisure. The photo above lets you see how I used the stencils and texture paste on the cover and spine of the book. I used the Gold Shimmer Spray to help the texture design stand out.
I like my projects to look pretty inside and out, so I lined my box with some of the beautiful papers from the Madeleine collection (and added a butterfly cut out from Primrose collection).
Another new product that I absolutely LOVE is the Wood Shapes! For my box cover I used a few of the elegant designs from the new Iron Works Wood Shapes packet. I finished the look with some of the lovely pearls from the jewel packets.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today, your kind words and feedback always make my day! I hope you enjoyed my project today and hope that you give these beautiful new Bo Bunny products a try!

Rather than try and explain the steps, I've made up a video tutorial to show you how I did it. So grab a cuppa coffee/or tea sit back and enjoy!
I hope you enjoy watching my video and will want to give your own page a try! Here are a few closeups of the page that you can view at your leisure....
I used some gorgeous blooms from Tresors de luxe to decorate the corner cluster by the photo.
I added a little texture with somehome made texture paste with a stencil and I added a shabby brick look by lightly brushing on some Copperhead Dimensionz with the tip of my finger. The Dusty Attic vine I painted with some 'I'm Not Limon' Inklingz.
After spritzing my background with a variety of Shimmerz Spritz's, I added some stamping and rub-on's. I also fussy cut some elements from Prima Almanac papers to embellish. I painted the new Dusty Attic Wildflower #2 chipboard with yet more of the Inklingz, I'm Not Limon and Gosh Garnet. NOTE: The color you see when you open a tub of Inklingz is not necessarily the color that it becomes when activated with water....for the true color, see the samples at the Shimmerz Website/Shop.
I hope you enjoyed my project today and will give these gorgeous Shimmerz products a try. You can shop for your own Shimmerz products HERE. And remember, to receive your own FREE/Bonus Shimmerz product be sure to mention my name in the INTRUCTIONS TO MERCHANT area of your order.
