Baby Scrapbook Layout - KaiserCraft & Asuka Studio

 

Welcome Back! I'm sharing another layout for Gabriel's Scrapbook. As I mentioned last blog post there are a few layouts that I made 17 years ago that need to be updated. His 2 week layout was so poorly made initially and I just needed to update it.

For this layout I combined KaiserCraft & Asuka Studio paper and embellishment. Some stenciling, inking, and clusters t make it all come together. Most of the goodies used today can be found on the White Rose Crafts Store.

Here is the layout I completed:

Stencil Work:

I also did some stenciling with the Lotza Dotz stencil from AALL & Create #39. I used Bronze embossing paste. I also Used Tim Holtz Distress Ink. I also incorporated old embellishments into the new layout.

Last Night at Sunny Hill Layout

 Hello! Alison Heikkila here. Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you. It's been far too long since I've made a layout, and I was really inspired by a challenge by Gel Press...which was to use your prints on a scrapbook page. I found a photo of my family and I on our last night of vacation. It's always a bittersweet night because it's so much fun, but we're sad that we have to leave the next day. I opted to highlight all of the good things about the evening, and I managed to use 3 Gel Press Prints on my page. White Rose Crafts has lots of products for scrapbooking as well as gel printing, and there's is more coming in future months!

The first print is over on the left of the layout. I used a couple of swirly stencils as well as alcohol inks to create it. If memory serves me correctly, it was done on a roll-off print. I thought this print pulled from the colors of the photo really well. As I was gathering my prints, I also looked at my Graphic 45 and Kaisercraft patterned paper. I found that the Bombay Sunset paper pad from Kaisercraft would come through for me once again, (man, do I love that paper!) and I used 4 different prints from that one pad.

The long strip of patterned paper on the right is from Graphic 45. I built my page on some espresso colored cardstock and flicked on some Sheer Shimmer Spritz in Gold. This tied in really well with the foil accents on one of the Kaisercraft papers.

I chose another Gel Press print that had subtle colors on it and I stamped AALL & Create's Reverse Crescents with Monarch VersaFine Clair ink, which I then embossed with clear powder. I used a long monoprint as my journaling spot. I especially love those messy edges. I also matted my photo with purple cardstock, which I left a little long on the bottom so that I could emboss the edges with gold embossing powder. For a little texture I used a green Pearl Swirl from Scrapberry.

I love the mix of all of the patterns that wound up on this scrapbook page. It's not the greatest photograph, but it's an amazing memory. We had an amazing vacation back in 2019 and I think this page shows off how happy we were with all of the colors and layers. Please head over to White Rose Crafts to check out the thousands of items they have. And, hang out with us in the White Rose Crafts Gallery on FB! Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Stamperia Scrapbook Page

 Hello! Alison Heikkila here. I am really stoked to share today's project for a few reasons. First, I made a scrapbook page. I haven't had time to scrapbook at all lately, and I really miss doing it. Second, I got to play with some fabulous stencils, paste, and paint. Third, I got to relive the memory of the night I took this photo, and that's what scrapbooking is all about, right? The focal products that I used are available at White Rose Crafts.

My inspiration came from Stamperia's Cosmos paper pad. I really love the colors, the celestial theme, the animals, and the distressing in this pad. I had this fantastic picture I took of my mom and I when I surprised her with tickets to see Korn and Alice in Chains in concert back in 2019. We had seen Korn many times (and they always put on an amazing show), but we had never seen Alice in Chains, which has been one of her favorite bands for a very long time. This picture perfectly embodies our silliness, and just how excited we were to be at the show.

To create the page, I started with a sheet of tawny brown cardstock and started building layers, keeping that sheet of Stamperia paper in the forefront of the design. I added some fluid acrylics from Golden and DecoArt Media using some brushes and my fingers. For texture, and I wanted a lot of texture, I used Stamperia's Pasta Scultura (Sculpture Paste) with the Cogs & Gears stencil, and the Indigenous Stripes stencil. The Pasta Scultura can be painted before or after it's been applied, and I did a combination of both on this page.

I added a few of the Cosmos Die Cuts from Stamperia here and there for some other fun elements that not only work with the page, but are very much images that my mom and I like. You can see in the photo above and the photo below that I also added some of Stamperia's Granelli Di Luna (or Moon Grains) for some additional points of interest.

I really love all of the textures here. The Stamperia paper looks textured too, although it's perfectly smooth.

After much decopaging, finger painting, and ink splattering, the page was done. It felt really good to make a page like this again. This concert was one of my favorite things about 2019, and to have the memory on a completed page that very much represents the styles of both my mom and myself, makes me very happy. I'm considering doing a process video on making scrapbook pages like this. Is that something you would be interested in seeing? I hope you'll visit White Rose Crafts because they have so many cool products.  And, hang out with us in the White Rose Crafts Gallery on FB! Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

AZ Sunset - KaiserCraft Stamps and Paper

Welcome Back and Happy Friday!

Today I'm sharing a super simple layout that came together pretty easily. I made this with the 6.5 x 6.5 KaiserCraft Bombay Sunset which is perfect for the picture I took yesterday. AZ has some of the most beautiful sunsets and I just had to document last nights!

I want to share how this layout came together as you can accomplish this layout in serious minutes.

1st I made my background paper by using Distress Oxide Inks and The KaiserCraft Leather Background Stamp to create a bottom layer.

I then cut Circle is 3 sizes and layered them going down the paper.

I used 2 - 6" Strips to create the illusion of a 12" strip going all the way down the layout. matted my picture a few times and Finsihed off with some Nuvo Dots.

Here are some Close-Ups:

I hope you will give this easy layout a try and share it with us at  White Rose Crafts Gallery. Products used in this layout are below.
