ScrapBerry's - Love Heart Decoration - Forever

Hello  ScrapBerry's and paper friends. Lydia here today sharing a fun project for the upcoming Valentine's Day. Some of us like to go all out and decorate our house or want to make something extra special for the one we love.

 I got a wooden heart from the craft-store and painted it in purple and pink and dry-brushed it with white gesso. Once dry I went around the outline with the Happy Days stamp. I just inked part of the stamp and could manipulate the stamp enough to folow the heart shape. I did this on both sides. On the back you can write a sentiment or stamp something special. 

On the front I started layering with papers from the Juliet collection, Polymer items that I had colored in, doilies, flowers to create a multi-dimensional heart. To finish it of I went around with some white gesso for extra accents. 

 I hope you enjoyed the project. Thank you so much for looking!

Blue Fern Studios January Projects!

Hello Paper and Blue Fern Studio Fans!

I'm so proud and happy to be part of this company and Design team!

Before I go any further let's introduce myself.

My name is : Lydia Guijt

I'm married to my best friend Peter for 25 years, a Mom to 2 adult children and our fur-baby Wesson. Being Dutch with an Australian passport living in Houston, Texas makes for some interesting conversations. My whole life I've been into crafts but after a special vacation in 2007 the pictures just deserved that little something more. So started my addiction to Scrapbooking. 

I hope I can inspire you a little on this journey.

Lets get started with my layouts. The first one is :

It's a holly jolly Christmas

Once a year my kids will pose for me for the Christmas picture. The rest of the year I have to be sneaky. So these pictures are extra special.

For the  Snow Medley chipboard piece I first stamped it with white ink and then used the Icicle Embossing Powder giving it a wonderful sparkle. For the It's a holly jolly Christmas I started of stamping again and then embossed it with Verdant Embossing Powder, while still warm I went over it with Fire Engine Glitter. Heat setting is on top. To temper the brightness of the color I went over it with a white stamp. 

For my background I did lots of fuzzy cutting from the Vintage Christmas - Magical and Wonderland papers. So many beautiful details.

I created an inside mat with the same Vintage - Noel paper that is also used for the background. Layering my fuzzy cut pieces, chipboard and extra paper cutouts to give it some depth. Using the beautiful Christmas Blooms to finish off my page.

Just the 2 of Us

For Thanksgiving we had a trip to Las Vegas, we love to walk around the casino's there, look at the decorations and have a great time. You'll be seeing a lot more layouts with "Just the 2 of Us"!

For the background I used the Heartland - Love Blooms paper. To create some interest I misted and splattered it with some inks and sprays using the same colors found in this gorgeous paper.

The Crackle Bits and Heartland - Just the 2 of Us chipboard pieces I first prepped with ink and then embossed with Sea Mist Embossing Powder. While the title chippie was still warm I sprinkled it with the Peacock Glitter. Heat setting to stay in place for that extra sparkle.

The layers behind between the Crackle Bits are cut from the Heartland - Love Notes paper, with the love heart cut from the Love Song Serenade paper. Once all is assembled, time for the flowers. I used quite the collection. Some final splatters and we're all done!

Time for my third and last layout for this month. These colors make me think about Spring already. Heartland is the perfect collection to pick your favorite colors, it has it all.

For my background I used a stencil with paste and once dry I went over it with mists. I also used some of the Pearl Embossing Powder and the Texture 1 stamps for some extra details.

The chipboard pieces Love, Shabby Brick Bits & Spirit of Heartland I first pre-inked before embossing with the Verdant Embossing Powder with some detailing in Oatmeal Embossing Powder. 

Behind the picture I layered Heartland - Kiss Kiss and Love song Serenade paper details with lace and other embellishments.  I used a variety of  beautiful Blue Fern Studios flowers to add to the layout. Adding some micro beads and sequins around the page for that extra sparkle.

ScrapBerry's - Valentinesday card - Love!

Hello ScrapBerry's and paper friends! Lydia here sharing a card made for that special someone in your life. We are heading towards Valentines day so we still have some time to create.

For this card I chose to use the very romantic Juliet collection. The colors, the flowers it's just perfect. I started with fuzzy-cutting some pieces I knew I wanted to use on the card. From there I started adding my layers, filling up my card space.

I just love the ScrapBerry's Polymer embellishments. There are so many to choose from and they add such a wonderful texture to any project you work on. The wedding collection had exactly what I was looking for. To make them pop a little I added some ink and glitter.

For the final details of course the beautiful flowers and we have a card you want to share with the one you Love! Thank you for looking !

Happy New Year paper friends! 

I wish you all a wonderful 2017. How exciting this new year is starting with ScrapBerry's new theme.

For my first project of the year I chose to do a layout using the Juliet collection. For the background I used a collection of stamps and once done spread some gesso and used 2 stencils with paste around the page. 

I used a die cut with 2 different papers from the same collection to make doilies. 

Around the ScrapBerry's flower arrangements I placed chipboard pieces and some other embellishments. 

To finsish the layout some splatter ink and it's all done.
