Krafty Kards :) :) :)

Hello Hello :)

Today I would like to share with you 4 fun Krafty cards that I created using fabulous Imaginarium Designs chipboard titles/words!!! Some of which are recent releases.

With all of the chipboard words/titles used on these cards I have used a black chalk ink pad.

 Aaaand to finish up I would like to share my take on the current monthly colour challenge. I have created a layout using some of the recent release Flourishes and titles.

Just to be a little different for this colour challenge I created a green coloured background and then to make the chipboard pop I painted it white! :) :) :)

I have used a StencilGirl Alphabet stencil to create the layout background pattern.

Well that is it from me for the moment. I do hope you have loved seeing the fabulous creative inspiration form the team for this month?!

Cheers and Happy Creating :) :) :)

Beautiful Teal :) :) :)

Hello Hello :)

Louise here today to share with you my take on the Imaginarium Designs March Teal Colour Challenge. This actual layout background I had previously created as a class technique sample but I hadn't actually completed.

I have used a beautiful Imaginarium Designs Round Swirly Edge Frame and some of my Peacock Feather design chipboards in 3 different sizes.

  

From this close up image you can see that I have added some glitter and pearl centres to the peacock feathers. All of the chipboard shapes have been finished with spray white gesso and Lindy's Stamp Gang Spray Mist.

I have also used the Imaginarium Designs 12 x 12 chipboard background.

Well that is it for me for the moment, I do hope that you have enjoyed all of the amazing inspiration by the team for this month.

Cheers and Happy Creating!

Favourite Holiday Photos - with Tracey Fowler

Hi Everyone,

It is fantastic to be back here at Imaginarium Designs sharing with you my projects and also to be creating again. I don't get much of a chance to spend time in my craft room over the summer school holiday break so it was nice to spend some time in their creating this week while the boys started back at school.

"Down By The Sea"

It only seemed fit to create a Summer themed layout since we have just finished the school/summer holidays. My younger son has a love of the beach, especially the waves!

To create this layout I chose a paper range that had blues, greens and hint of purple. I have used the Imaginarium Designs stencil Crosses Stencil IDMM006 and white crackle texture paste. Once this dried I used a teal blue spray to add colour into the cracks of the crackle paste. I have also used flicks of gold, gun metal spray along with adding random texture stamp using a black ink.

For the Imaginarium Designs title Down by the Sea, I have used a metallic black embossing powder. I liked how this embossing powder has some shimmer and sparkle which reminds me of the ocean.

I have heat embossed the Chevron Boarder IDB016, using an aged white with flecks of gold. I have then used a patina effect paints to give the chipboard a metal/rusty look. I have cut the Chevron Boarder IDB016,  into pieces and placed it on my layout.

I have created a cluster using pieces of metal and flowers. I have used the patina effect paints to bring all the elements together to create a unified look.

"Every Picture has a Story to Tell"

This layout I have used a photo of one of our most treasured family holidays. Yes it was summer time here in Australia, but while everyone was sunning themselves, we were rugged up in  Finland. 

I placed layers of tags, corrugated cardboard, tissue paper, vellum and die cuts under the photo.

For the ID Chipboard Title  Every Picture has a Story to Tell, have coloured it using a black stamp pad. I didn't want a raised or shiny finish on the title, I wanted it simply black.

 I have used a white embossing powder on this gorgeous  ID chipboard Flourish.

To complete the flower cluster I used Loolabelle's Cherry Blossom (3 in a board) IDD0068 and coloured them using a rose colour ink pad. 

Here is a picture of all the ID Chipboard that I used for my projects

 

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my projects. I am really excited about this upcoming year and sharing with you my creations.

Its not a layout!!! LOL :) :) :)

Hello Hello :)

Today I would like to share with you some PL inserts and cards that I created recently using the fabulous Imaginarium Designs Chipboard :) :) :)

With these smaller PL inserts I had a lot of fun creating them using some left over acrylic paint skins; they help make the chipboard POP! The chipboard itself has been coloured with Ink and paint.

Next up I am sharing some Christmas cards and tags that I created for StencilGirl. 

The chipboard on these cards and the tags have been finished with embossing powder.

This particular Christmas tree is one of my own designs :)

That is it for me Cheers and Happy Creating!
