Scrapbooking and Birthday Cards - With Karyn Schultz!

Hi Imaginarium Designs lovelies!!

It's Karyn here and today I'm sharing some scrapbook pages and cards made using lots of gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard.

I started this scrapbook page by using white cardstock and added strips of Bella Blvd Illustrated Faith Bright and Brave papers to the top and bottom of the page. Then I matted my photos with more papers and added them to the page. 

Next I added clusters of chipboard, flowers and flair. All of the chipboard has been painted with watercolour pan paints in a teal colour. 

I also added some handwritten journalling and a roller date stamp. Lastly I added splatters of teal and black Heidi Swapp Color Shine across my page.

Isn't this flourish chipboard goegeous! Its new and I can see myself needing more of them :)

Next I created a set of birthday cards.

I started by creating this teal coloured card (in line with the Imaginarium Designs Colour of the month theme) and I loved it so much I thought I would make a set in peacock colours :)

I kept my card relatively simple and used a peacock stencil and ink to create the background layer. I used the same coloured to ink the edges of the chipboard then I also added a sparkly layer of glitter glue around the edges.

I also inked the edges of the cardstock and added more glitter glue. I often assemble my card then add the glitter glue last so it can dry naturally. 

 How pretty is this stencil!

I then tried something similar with the crosses stencil and some crosses.

Hi There!

Shell Carman here today kicking off the first official post for the 2014 Design Team! I'm so excited to be part of the team for another year!

Today I have 2 projects, very different styles. I love that ID chippies are so versatile! You can dress them up to suit any style!

First up is a my page "It's a boy thing". My little man Hunter is developing a real love for fishing. He loves to go out in the boat with his Dad and Poppy and this Summer holidays he managed to catch quite a few! He thinks he is a bit of a pro at the whole fishing thing now LOL!

The Photos frame was inked with Donna Salazar Designs Mixed Media Inx Color Box Black. This is a really wet ink that gives great coverage for chipboard.

The It's a boy thing title was sprayed with Lindys Stamp Gang Starburst Time Travel Teal mist. The cogs were inked with Donna Salazar Designs Mixed Media Inx Color Box in Sparrow. I then painted some Mod Podge and then sprinkled some Aged Hunter Embossing powder from the Stampendous Frantage Encrusted Jewel Kit and set it with a heat gun. This powder has a mix of gold, black & green so it gives a really great effect on chipboard.

The arrows were also inked with Donna Salazar Designs black ink
