Weddings, Chipboard & Ephemera!

Hi Everyone 

It's Wendy back with a couple of cards and .......................... a layout!!!!!! Now you can pick yourself off the floor it's okay, I had a moment and in that moment I thought it might be nice to scrapbook my brothers wedding photo from over five years ago!!! I also couldn't get out monthly colour challenge out of my head - everything I picked up to use was green so I thought ah just go with it for the cards!

First the layout!

For the chipboard I used gold chunky embossing powder and didn't melt it all so it left a really lovely texture to the letters.

For the cards I wanted to use some of my ephemera packs as I really struggle with putting all the layers together and deciding where everything should go.  I found that using the chipboard as the anchor and then working from that was really helpful.  I have used just one layer of "leather" embossing powder from Colour Blast.

Again above just using the same powder to created a bit of a mottled effect.

As you can see chipboard is so adaptable you can use it for any occasion and with many different mediums.

Chipboard used is as follows:-

The flourishes I used on the cards are a new range so if you are keen on these ones just give Jane a call and she will be able to help you out.

Keep Creating

Wendy

Hello Hello :)

Today I would like to share with you some layouts I created recently for a class that i thought at my LSS demonstrating the mono printing technique.

All of the chipboard pieces used have been finished with either white gesso spray or Dylusions Acrylic paint.

You may have notice are all featuring selfie photos LOL :) Sometimes you really do need to create a layout about YOU!!! and make them positive and self affirmative! :) Give yourself a lil Love :) :) :)

Well that is it from me for the moment! I do hope that you have loved all of the June Inspiration from the fabulous Team!!!

Cheers and happy Scrapping :)

Make A Wish & Take Me Away with Imaginarium Designs!

Hi Everyone!

Happy September!

Amanda here, & I've got a couple of gorgeous, bright and colourful layouts to share, including another of my boy/girl double pages - so let's get straight to it! 

First up, I am using the new Cocoa Vanilla Studio: Make A Wish collection 

to show off some fabulous chippie phrases and shapes....

Isn't this stunning?!! 

A really cool double pager that also works as two single layouts!

I've used a few of my fave phrases as well as some hearts & stars to embellish with.

Bright, playful pops of colour and  a real fresh, modern & contemporary feel. Love it! 

Let's look at each layout separately.....

"You Smile With Your Heart"

So pretty!!! Girly and feminine without being too cutesy now (she's growing up!) LOL!

I've used Versa Ink in (the very hot) Opera Pink to really make my title pop. 

NOTE: I use this brand of ink a lot as it gives real depth of colour  - even if I don't apply a coat of gesso to my chipboard before applying. 

I love how this colour, and chippie phrase, dictate the tone and feel of the page!

Here's a closer look at that stunning phrase...

  

So exquisitely cut! 

And how about those super cute hearts.....

Perfect for an embellishment cluster, or as an alternative sequin/enamel dot scatter!

The lower heart has been inked with Petal Pink to balance out all the hot pink and add a little interest. Very sweet, indeed!

A pretty embellishment for any gorgeously girly creation!

Enough of the girl talk - let's take a look at my boy version of this layout.....

"Wild At Heart" 

Could he get any cooler?!! Such a rad little guy! 

This time I've used Versa Ink: Sea Foam for my title, subtitle and most of the stars. The remaining stars are inked in Saffron Yellow. I love the solid, matte finish the ink provides! 

Let's take a closer look.....

How awesome is my subtitle, "Happy"?! Perfect for my subject & I must mention my layered star! 

I love the look of layering your chipboard and ephemera together. I've mounted mine too, to really stand out and draw you into my photo.

 In the image below, I've mounted a smaller star onto a larger one to create a cool embellishment.....

But it's my title that is totally awesome....

Wild At Heart - he sure is! 

Seriously though, another awesome phrase that's cut to perfection! 

Love it!

My last layout for today is another gorgeously bright and happy page created with the new 

Pink Paislee: Paige Evans: Take Me Away collection, 

"Little Things Big Memories"

Love this! It just screams fun!!! 

And truly, sometimes the littlest moments leave the biggest imprints on us - this phrase sums it up to a tea!

I've drawn on the very bright & colourful patterned paper to inspire my chipboard treatment.

Bold, fun and happy!!!

Let's take a closer look..... 

I love the use of multiple fonts in this phrase - it makes it really versatile to use!

(& yes, it's hot Opera Pink again!)  

The hearts are just the cutest little finishing touch embellishment...

SO sweet!!!

How cute is the heart decorated with a lil button?! Love!!!

New Chippie Phrases & More!!!

Hi Imaginarium Designs Friends!

Amanda here, & today I am sharing a sweet sibling love page, as well as another of my upcoming class layouts!

I love intricacy of our chippie designs, but even more than that, I love the versatility of Imaginarium Designs Chipboard!

It really doesn't matter what you're creating the chippies always embellish and complete a project beautifully! 

The brand new Fancy Pants Designs: Millie & June collection is a super sweet Mother/Grandmda/Sister range & instantly made me think of the chipboard phrase, 

"S is for Sister my forever friend" - I think it coordinated just perfectly......

"S is for Sister"

Yep. That chipboard phrase/title is just awesome!

You'll also spy the Imaginarium Designs Chipboard bunting banner on this layout too!

Two very simple chipboard pieces that really bring the page together and maximise effect. I've drawn on the Millie & June colour palette to inspire the treatment on this chipboard - lots of Gold and Royal Blue Versa Inks - love it! 

Let's take a closer look....

Talk about intricate cuts - how fabulously cut is that phrase?!!! A gorgeous font and the gold inky finish is divine! 

I've used a gold puffy sticker as a sub-title to support the sister phrase as the main heading on this layout. 

 I love how this bunting connects my photgraphs & draws you into that sweet ephemera and flair cluster. Too cool!

I love the two-tone effect on the bunting / flag banner, and it was so easy to do! Simply 'mask' the area to be protected with a piece of paper and ink away. Allow ink to dry and repeat the process on the opposite side. Such a fun and playful way to embellish your layouts!

Chipboard Featured:

"S is for Sister my forever friend"

Banners (3 types - 6 inch) 

Next up, I have two separate layouts that also work as a double layout too! 

A girl and boy version for my two darlings! 

I know, how cool is this?!!!

A bit of mixed media delight combined with our favourite chippies and Cocoa Vanilla Studio's: Colour Me Happy collection. Love!

Let's take a closer look at each page individually......

"Love this"

Love this: boy, photo, attitude, memory, love it all! The new chipboard design 'lovethis' is just too easy to create with! I coated mine in black ink, and then applied Glitzin' Glamour in Black to give it more texture, dimension and lift. Very cool! 

The handrawn crosses have been inked in black and aqua, and are a perfect adornment to a boy page!

Let's take a look at the girly version....

"Chase Your Dreams" 

I know, so cool huh?!  Incredible texture and colours in that background !

And yes, that's another amazing new phrase chipboard; just loving all the new designs!

Just like its partner page, I've coated the title (and one of the hearts) in black ink and Glitzin Glamour in black. I love the finish it gives!

The remaining chippies have either the matte black ink finish or petal pink. Here's a closer view....

Love it! And how stunning are the mixed media backgrounds I've created on these two layouts?!

If you like the look, and want to learn the technique, 

or if you just want to create this double layout
