Christmas Cards for Scrap FX

Hi everyone, Unfortunately today is my final post for Scrap FX. Its time for me to move on and I'll be joining Blue Fern Studios for 2016.  I have absolutely loved getting to create with all the wonderful Scrap FX products for the last 14 months.

Today I have two Christmas cards to share with you using Decembers new release Christmas baubles, these are a perfect size to go on cards
P1060919 adjusted
I coloured the chipboard pieces the Stampendous embossing powder in Shabby White and Aged Gold.
I tied a piece of twine around the tops of the Baubles to give the effect that they were hanging from the cards. I cut the Flourish Corners Mini in half and used them to peak out from under my flowers. I then added the flowers, lace and pearls and I had two easy cards made.
The Papers, Lace and Flowers are all from Prima

First up in my layout for this months Sketch

To make this layout I used the Kaisercraft Sliver Bells Collection papers in Joy and Frosty plus the coordinating sticker sheet. For my background I used the Kaisercraft Festive Quarters stencil from the Mediums add on kit, then I added colour with the Pearl Ex mica powder in sliver (also from the medium add on kit) plus some grey sprays from my stash. I took the Bo Bunny laser cut snowflake chipboard pieces and primed them with white gesso, then I added some gel medium to stick on some white glitter. For my embellishing I used the Plastic snowflake, Kaisercraft rhinestones in Silver and the  Petaloo Vintage Velvet Poinsettia in White from the main Kit. From the embellishment add on kit I used the Prima Sliver leaves, Blue Fern Winter Page Dangles chipboard, Prima Trim, and  Grey lace. I added a few flowers from my stash as well.




Here is this months amazing sketch



For my second layout I've used a photo of my adorable baby Nephew. 


To make this I started by spraying on some Turquoise and Sliver mists from my stash, I used the flourish section on the Kaisercraft Festive Quarters Stencil (which came in the mediums add on kit) with texture paste. The I used the Bauble section of the same stencil with a Grey Gelato, then I added some random stamping on top. I used the Kaisercraft Silver Bells Paper in Carol and Wonderland, plus the coordinating sticker sheet and tag. To colour my chipboard title I used the Jacquard Lumiere 3D paint in Turquoise from the main kit. To embellish I used the Petaloo Vintage Velvet Peonies in Teal, The Petaloo Vintage Velvet Minis in White and the Kaisercraft mini roses from the Flower add on kit. The Prima Sliver leaves are from the embellishment add on kit and I added lots of the amazing bling that came all though the kits.






An finally today I have the Christmas decoration that came in the Project add on kit.


I started of by covering the snowflake from the Project add on kit with gesso before I added some white crackle paste. Next I added the Pearl Ex mica powder in Rose Gold (which came in the Mediums add on Kit) and water into the spray bottle that came in the same kit. I sprayed the mist onto the snowflake. And finally I gave the whole thing a coat of the Folk Art Extreme Glitter Paint in sliver - this is such pretty paint!!!! To embellish I used the sliver bells and crystal drops from the Project add on kit. I also used the Sliver berry spray from the embellishment add on kit along with some white and grey flowers from my stash. (sorry the photos aren't the best this was harder to photograph that I imagined)

My Reindeer Family

Hi everyone, today I'm on the Scrap FX blog to share  my Reindeer family with you.

I made these using the new release Reindeer shapes in Large Medium and Small.

P1060882 adjusted

To make these I started off by covering the body pieces with paper. I used Maja Designs papers in the Home For The Holidays collection. Daddy Reindeer is covered with Family paper, Mummy Reindeer is covered with Happy New Year paper and Baby Reindeer is covered with the Love The Snow paper. I used my distressing tool to distress around the edges.
Next I painted the antlers with white gesso and then I added a coat of Finnabair Snowflake paste. On the main body pieces I used the Snowflake paste again with a flourish stencil.
And to finish these off I glued on some flowers and pearls.

This is Daddy Reindeer, I used the Reindeer Large (2015376L)

For this layout I used Maja Designs Papers, in A Gift For You Collection (Given From The Heart & Cause You're My Angel) and Vintage Autumn Basics Collection (No XI & No XV)


I used Finnabair Snowflake paste with a flourish stencil on my background - the glitter in this paste is so pretty. I also used Lindy Stamp Gang Spray in Poinsettia Red Gold and Prima Colour Bloom Spray in Deep Teal to add colour to my background.
