The Robin's Nest Tutorial Scrapbook Layout Lights

                                                                                         Hi all

I have a new tutorial showing you how to create this layout using The Robin's Nest products. You can find them here http://www.robinsnest-scrap.com/

Products used

Numbers Glitter Cardstock

Wedding Cut outs Card Stock

Pink Glitter Crackle Card Stock

First using a couple of stencils apply White and Black Gesso onto the page at random and let dry. I like to mix them up and add lots of texture.

Add Red  DecoArt  Metallic Lustre around the edges and rub over it to blend. 

Flick ink over the page. The more messy the background the better, mixed media isn't meant to be perfect.

Cut up the card stock into rectangles and strips. Layer the larger rectangles at the bottom and keep adding layers until you are happy with their position and glue to page.

Use a few texture stamps to stamp around the edge of the page. It doesn't need to look neat.

Add more stamping around the page and over the layers

Decorate the page with shells and flowers. Add a title with alpha stickers

The Robin's Nest Men's Birthday Card Fishing Tutorial

Hi all

Here is a tutorial on how to make this fishing themed card using The Robin's Nest Products. You can find them here http://www.robinsnest-scrap.com/

Here is a list of products i used

Fresh Mowed Grass Dew Drops

Jolly Dew Drops

Getaway Glitter Card stock 

Kiwi Sorbet Glitter Card

Leafy Green Cards

Doillie Die Cuts

Fishing Rub-on 

Cover a 5 x 7 card blank with Getaway Glitter Card Stock. This is double sided card so you can turn it over and used both sides.

Cut a sheet of blue stripy card stock to 3 x 6 inch and adhere to center of card

Cut up a few matching sheets of paper and layer them together

Once you are happy with the layers glue them down using Best Glue Ever. Add 3D foam tape to the back of the longest strip and adhere over the layers. The 3D tape allows for more layers and bits to be added after.

Using the Fishing Rub Ons add a fishing rod down the side of the Kiwi Sherbet card stock.

Take one of  the Leafy Green Card and place 3D foam on to the back and adhere to card.

Add some of the fish onto white card stock and cut out so you can position them onto the card before sticking them down.

Adhere them to the card along with a few drew drops

For the sentiment i used the Fishing Rub Ons and added the sentiment to the center of the dollies
