'Paperless' Altered Clipboard by Rosa

Hola! It’s Wednesday & it’s my turn to share with you my first DT assignment. It’s an altered art project.

I altered a clipboard and it’s paperless! Why paperless? Did you check out the new stamps in Papier? They are gorgeous! How can one resist? So here’s a simple project of what you can do with your stamps & other mediums.

Step by step guide:

Cover the clipboard with gesso, 2-3 layers of it. Make sure that the previous coat is dry before applying the next coat.

Paint the clipboard with acrylic paint. I used Making Memories (Buttercup).

Spray some Smooch Pearlized Spray Ink, use a sponge & dab the Ink. You don’t have to cover the whole clipboard, just a little dab here and there.

Stamp onto the clipboard with Black StazOn. I used the flower stamp by Hero Arts. (I so love the flower stamp by Hero Arts. You can get it from Papier – while stock lasts)

Paint the flower with acrylic paint of your choice. I further enhance it with LePlume Markers.

Stamp other pattern around it with Black StazOn. I used the Kaisercraft mini clear stamp. Let it aside to dry. Once dry, coat it with Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi Medium Matte.

Here's the finish product.

So what are you waiting for? Head down to Papier & get your stamps. Visit my blog here to view more pictures & a little extra tip. See you again next Wednesday. Till then, Happy crafting! Cheers….

Note: All items are available at Papier. (except the clipboard)

Materials Used : Clipboard (from any local stationery shop), Gesso, Acrylic paint, Smooch Pearlized Spray Ink, Black StazOn, Le Plume Markers, Hero Arts Flower Rubber Stamp, Kaisercraft mini clear stamp & Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi Medium Matte.

"Cherish The Moments" Layout by Jessy

Hey hey!! It's my turn to show you my-so-called version of "enhance technique". LOL!! A simple tutorial on how I created a layout only using two pieces of Webster's Pages patterned papers + very little embellies that were in my DT kit.

WP salon lesfleurs paper

WP romantique chic paper

and turned it into this...

It's pretty simple how you can enhance a base paper with just using another paper.

I will show you how...

Simple tutorial & some close-up shots:

All you need is to cut the WP Salon Lesfelurs images out and

rearrange the images onto the romantique chic paper that acted as my base.

Adding lace to give a romantic & subtle look!

Prima flowers and crystal swirls are perfect addition for a shabby-chic looking layouts!

Adding glitter to cut images always work for me. I love to enhance the details!

To enhance the chandelier I added some gold pearls.

To further enhance your layout, the next best "enhance" recipe is to create dimension.

Supplies list:

Webster Pages patterned papers

Prima Flowers

Prima Crystal Swirls & pearls

Ranger Stickles

Making Memories stickers

Hope you enjoy the simple "enhance" tutorial!

"Family Layout" by Amelia Khalik

Hi everyone, today marks my first inaugural post for Papier. Some of you might have seen me around during the crop party or hanging around the store spending my last cents on everything I can get my hands on! Lol.

So let’s start with my first layout for week 1. A little bit of scrappy info, for this particular piece I first misted the base pp (My Minds Eye) with

Maya Road

Mists. Then tear a piece of Basic Grey Off Beat pp, Ink the edges with Distress Ink. To create the edgy torn effects, I used Tim Holtz paper distress. Matted the photo on a yellow cardstock and add flowers and blings. Those pretty butterflies are punched out using Martha Stewart punchers, ink the edges and add pearls on the body. Finally I decorate the rest of the layout with buttons and handmade ribbon flowers. Pretty simple right?

Material lists: My Minds Eye pp, Basic Grey Off Beat pp, Prima Flowers, Prima Pearls, Vintage Buttons, Yellow Ribbon, Pearl Strand, Martha Stewart Punchers, Distress Ink, Ice Stickles, KCK Chipboard Stickers and Yellow Cardstock.

Pls note All items are available in store.

Till my next posting, take care all..:)

Introducing Sharm...

I'm Sharm from Sunny Malaysia..the weather's been rather down so it's not really sunny that often these day *lol* :) I'm a SAHM to a very mischievous one yr old bratty lil gal that I love loads and a wonderfully supportive hubby .. ;)

I love all things handmade & indulge in a variety of handmade hobbies that include card making, scrapping and jewelry making. I truly believe that a handmade gift is beautiful to receive as it is to make. It is also a poignant way to express a thought that comes straight from the heart. Though my time is fully occupied with my lil princess, I make time to indulge in this hobby that I find to be extremely therapeutic after a busy day with her.

I'm also a self-confessed hoarder! *lol* I can't walk out of a scrapbooking supplies store empty handed!

Welcome to the Papier design team, Sharm!!

Introducing Rosa...

Hi, I am Rosa from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I am a SAHM and a mother of 2 children aged 14 & 11. I started scrapbooking in 2007 and am totally hooked. I love making mini albums, altered arts, canvas, layouts, cards and mixed media. I’m a stamper at heart and can never get enough of it.

I love my Slice, and that’s the reason why my work is mostly embellished using Slice. Apart from Slice, I also use Big Shot, dies from Cuttlebug, Spellbinder and Pazzles in my creations. To me, scrapbooking is a way for me to channel any negative energy into something positive, and a good way to distress. In other words, it’s my ‘me-time’. Doing housework, cooking, driving here and there, dealing with 2 growing up kids, is a whole lot of job in itself! I love everything about scrapping – what’s not to love?

Rosa is also a MM Slice instructor or simply known the "Queen of Slice" at Papier. If you would like to know more bout MM Slice or to attend her classes, please give Papier a call.

Rosa will be also hosting "Monday Coffee with Rosa" starting next week. This is to encourage scrapbookers or cardmakers to get together every Monday to learn from each other or simply just to scrap together. More info, please call us at 03-7725 4815.

Welcome to the Papier Design Team, Rosa!

Introducing...

Hello, my name is Amelia Khalik. I live in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. I’m a mother to two active kids. I started scrapping back in Dec 2009. Quite a newcomer to the scrapbook circle, I love to try everything. I have no particular style but some associated my work as ‘shabby chic’ and ‘grunge’. I love misting, layering, embossing and Inks!! My object of scrapping is always my two kids and of course my husband.

I dream to have my own scrapbook store one day. Where there is no limit and boundaries to create. To be able to do it all day long!! That would be bliss. Sometime a fast scrapper, my record to date is 30 minutes for a layout but most of the time I take time enjoying the moment. I enjoyed doing altered projects as much as a layout. My favourite colour is always Pink and I'm known to be using it more than often.

I would like to thank Papier, namely Macy and residence DT Jessy Christopher for giving me an opportunity to be in the design team together with other talented DT's.

Welcome to the Papier Design Team, Amelia!!
