Wedding cards with First Edition The Promise

Hi all

I'm sharing some Wedding cards i made using The Promise paper pads by First Edition.

/i cut out the sentiment so i could stagger it a bit to get it to fit on the card better.

I made the Polaroid frame into a shaker box by cutting around acetate and using craft foam to create a thick frame to hold the sequins in.

The paper flowers are from the Belle and Boo and Mirabell Collection

I cut the embossed butterflies out from on of the 6x6 sheets and then layered the sentiment over it.

I am sharing my layout i made for the June scrapbook feature over at www.trimcraft.co.uk. pop in to see the full tutorial and other inspiration. www.trimcraft.co.uk

This is a photo of my Nan and Grandad on their wedding day. I created a frame using twine and pearls.

I wanted to experiment with shaker boxes. The easiest way to create them is by using nesting dies.

An 8x8 layout with Happy Scatter

I have an 8x8 layout for you today, been very crafty today and got my Happy Scatter We Are Golden embellishment pack and triangle stencil out. Check out the blog for more project ideas http://jennifergracecreates.com/tag/happy-scatter/

 This is Muggsie our newest member of the family. He is very fussy and bossy as well.

The embellishment packs come with lots of little bits which are great for scattering around your pages and cards. Here i used the DecoArt misters to add the paint splats and added the bits and bods around it.

 To get the background i draw around the stencil with a fine black pen and then used the Artiste Water color pens to color them in. by adding the ink to an acrylic block first you can use a water pen to lift the ink and use it as a paint.

here is a close up of the layers, all i did was cut-out two rough squares and layer them over each other at an angle before sticking the photo and frame down.

Hi all

I've been playing with the new First Edition pads this week. I have another scrapbook feature with Trimcraft coming in April so keep you eye out for it on their website www.trimcraft.co.uk. I would love some feedback so please leave a few comments.

now onto the layout, i used the 12x12 The Promise paper pad by First Edition as the base and spritzed inks on to it and let it dry. I was trying out a new technique where you rub ink directly over the mask but it didn't work and i've had to apply texture paste over it.

 The layers are made by taking the 6x6 Paper Flowers pad and tearing out 3 sheets of paper. I just cut different widths of strips and layered them over each other while slotting different bits behind them.

I used textured stamps on the background and under the layers to add more texture.
