'You r always curious' LO by Rosa

Hey hey! This month its all about stamping. It's time to take out those stamps and start stamping. I love fussy cutting but I don't have much to cut in my DT kit from Papier this month so stamping it is. I decided to make full used of my stamps, I keep buying them and it'll be wasted if I don't use it. So, if you are like me, crazy about stamps, how about some stamping this month. Hope you are inspired to start stamping.

This is what I created for Papier's DT project this week. Did some stamping onto the background.



Did some masking using Tattered Angels stencils.



Painted the plain tag chipboard. Distress all the pp.



I used Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz ruler image rubber stamp, stamped it onto the pp and cut it out, then I cut the straight ruler image into 3 sections and glue it down to the pp. The meaning of 'curiosity' is also from Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz rubber stamps.



Isn't it simple and fun. Try stamping and make your own embellishments. Till then, happy stamping and enjoy the month of May!

Materials used: My Mind's Eye pp, Plain cs, Pink Paislee pp, Stampers Anonymous Stamps Tim Holtz Collection (Papillon CMS106 & Curiosities CMS104), Tattered Angels stencils, Distress Ink, Liquid Pearls, Plain tag chipboard, Acrylic paint, Basic Grey rub-ons, Alpha stickers, Jenni Bowlin chipboard button.

Fab Four Mini Album

Hello scrappers, how was your weekend? Happy Mothers Day to all the fab ladies and mothers out there! Today i am sharing a mini album using Papier May kit.

This mini album is chipboard based. I die cut the shape from a Tim Holtz dies and adhere pattern papers to both side of the chipboards.

The remaining step is just to stick my photo's and using the embellishment that comes in the kit. I add glitter to the edges of my album.

There's still plenty left in the kit for other projects, which i will share with you in the next few weeks. Till next time. Have a pleasant week!

Altered Project

I found this magnet at our local Daiso and I have to admit this is my greatest find ever! *lol* I had always been on the lookout for this type as it works both ways, as a box, and as a fridge magnet..and the fact that you can see through it, is even more cool!!! There were only 2 left on the rack and I sure didn't waste my time pondering whether I needed both..or just one! *hehe*

Anyhoo, when I received my Papier DT kit for this month, it was filled with tonnes of yummy vintage goodies that I just wanted to dive into and use! but I held sum back for my upcoming projects and only used a few for this magnet *hehe*

A lil tute:
1) Distress the edges of the Melody Ross chipboard with distress inks and stamp on top of it with a script / text stamp

2) Adhere the cihpboard to the box and then continue to layer with lots flowers (I've used the 3D flower die, you may even opt to use Prima flowers)

3) Layer two different butterflies (the bigger one is courtesy of a dear DT friend who had been extremely nice to share some with me..you know who you are dear!) ;))

4) And lastly, I added the two Jenni Bowlin chipboard buttons

easy peasy huh! ..till then, cheerios!!! :)

Materials Used : Magnet, Melody Ross Chipboard, Text Stamp - POD, Sizzix 3D flower die, other flowers, Jenni Bowlin Buttons, Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch and Slice Butterfly, Twine

'Dear Dream Big always' LO by Rosa

Hola crafters! Are you crazy about stamps? I know I am! Whenever I see stamps, I just got to have them. Due to that, I'm having one major storage problem. Hmmm... Got to sort it out.

Today, for Papier's DT project, I did a LO using the new stamps that I bought from Papier to embellish it. Yummy Prima Dress Foam stamp & Unity stamps! Go check em out in Papier, while stocks last. Its fun fun fun playing with stamps. This is what I created.



I stamped the dress form onto plain cs, cut it out, jazz it up with stickles, rhinestones, my handmade mini bloom and adhere it with foam dots. Its a big dress foam stamp, the size is almost 12'x12'!



I paint the plain tag chipboard with red acrylic paint, stamped 'dream.Big' and some patterns on it. I also stamped the sentiment at the side.



Gotta love the Unity stamps.



My handmade blooms.



Till then, happy crafting and enjoy the month of May!

Materials used: My Mind's Eye pp, Plain cs, Pink Paislee pp, Unity Stamps, Prima Dress Foam Stamp, Distress Ink, Liquid Pearls, Martha Stewart puncher, Stickles, Plain tag chipboard, Acrylic paint.

May Kit - Layout 1, Mommy's Angel

Happy Labour Day everyone. If you're heading to the Curve please dont forget to drop in the store to view the latest arrival or better still go grab this month kit, Bello Corredo! Retailing at only RM150 it's pack with embellishment and yummy papers. Go here for the item listing of the kit.

Here is my first project. I love to have layers in my page. To create such effect is simple.  In my case here, after misting my background i matted my photo on a cardstock. Underneath my pictures i have 2 pattern papers and a strip of ribbon as layering. I started to build more layers by adding prima flowers below and on top of my pictures. Finally i added the banners to the side and under my photo. I clustered everything at one corner instead of having my banners all over the page.

If you have not tried layering and clustering before do give it a go. Once in a while it's fun to get out of your comfort zone. You'll be suprise what it can do to your creative mind! Have a good week ahead. I'll be seeing you next week.
