Hi all - Anita here with another share...
I saw the new Kaisercraft range the other day and just had to get some - I am not normally a fan but I really like this one! Anyway... I also LOVE the Stuff2Scrap chippy hearts ... LOTS!

And just a quick share on how I got them like this.... I applied two really really thick coats of acrylic paint and made it lumpy and bumpy. I dried mine with a heat tool (cause I'm impatient!)....

I then sprayed on plenty of Glimmer mist .. it kind of sinks into the creases of all the paint and gives it a really great look... I also dried this with my heat tool but be careful not to cook it too much! ...

Hope everyone is having a great time prepping for Christmas!! Thanks for stopping by! xoxo

Luscious Layers....

2011-12-10T14:21:00.001+10:00

Happy Saturday everyone.. Anita here! I just wanted to share this layout with you using those gorgeous Stuff2Scrap chippy presents! I totally love this chippy and have used it HEAPS in layouts lately.... Great for Christmas and birthday layouts! I even snipped this one in half to make it go further...

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone! xoxo

A little birdie told me.....

2011-12-07T07:34:00.001+10:00

Hi all - Anita here! I had so much fun over the weekend having a play around with my stash of Stuff2Scrap Chippies - Oh what fun! I just got this beautiful Crafters Workshop stencil and couldn't wait to play! Here is what came together... Want to make one too?? I'll show you how I did it!....

First paint your chippy with a base colour. I used cream acrylic paint and put two coats on.....

Then out came my distress inks in colours to match my project.... any type of ink would probably work the same though....

I placed my template over the chippy and applied one colour on the little birds chest and then a different colour on the top .. carefully blending them in the middle.....

Ta da! I inked around the edge too with a darker colour after this step and I did consider covering it with clear crackle paint or dimensional magic but in the end left it.

I hope you grab your Stuff2Scrap chippies and play along with this technique! Have a great day - I'll be back in a few days with some more shares! xox

2. Use the technique masking.
3. And don't forget some chipboard!!

I have some gorgeous inspiration for you from the lovely DT girls.

Rachael's layout is bright and such a gorgeous mixture of colours. She was very clever and used the large Stuff 2 Scrap Heart Border as her mask.

I was so happy when I saw these gorgeous birdies!!

I had some papers that worked perfectly with these.

I simply misted them with a purple glimmermist

to tie in with my colour scheme.

And added a liitle bit of bling to one of them.

Hope you are all having a fabulous weekend

Lisa

Lisa here!

2011-11-15T17:53:00.001+10:00

Hi everybody!

Its Lisa here to share with you again this week!

So with this layout I got to play with this awesome

abstract piece of chipboard.

I decided that I wanted it to be red to tie in with the red splashes in the

papers I have used. So I inked it and then used some glossy accents, to

give it a bit of a shine. Here's a close up for you :)

I love this piece I can definitely see myself using this in a number of different ways.

Thats all I have to share with you for today, but I'll be back soon with some more.

Until then I hope you all have a lovely week.

Lisa xoxo

OCTOBER WINNER!!!

2011-11-03T14:36:00.002+10:00

Hi all!

Thanks so much to everyone who entered the October challenge... picking a winner was difficult!!

The final winner was Karen K with this gorgeous layout...

What a beautiful layout - congratulations Karen.... Please contact ah@stuff2scrap.com.au to organise your prize!!

Thanks again to everyone who entered!

November challenge!

2011-11-03T08:47:00.006+10:00

Hi there! It's a new month and a new challenge here at Stuff2Scrap. It was my absolute pleasure to set the challenge for this month so I'm hoping you'll enjoy what I've come up with. For this month, I thought we'd get a bit messy so the criteria for the November challenge are:

(1) Paint - but wait! No brushes, sponges, etc. Use your creative hands to get paint onto your layout.

(2) Stacked chippie! This is a great way to use up varying sizes of the same design or combine totally different chipboard patterns, pieces and styles to create something new.

(3) Song lyrics - these can either make up your title, your journalling, or just a line on the layout somewhere. Any song you like is fine, from nursery rhymes to your favourite rock anthems!

Our Stuff2Scrap creative team have been busy getting their hands messy to bring you some inspiration for this month's challenge.

First up is Chantal's "Park Life" layout. Such a fun mix of patterns and colours!

Next up is Anita's super cute layout. I love that she has used her little boy's handprints as the hand painted element on this great layout.

Below is Chris's absolutely stunning take on this month's challenge, particularly for those who love lots of flowers and layering.

Below is Rachael's fantastic layout. I love the bright blue - it's really a show stopper!

There is more to come from the team this week so stay tuned. My own layout has experienced some "technical difficulties" thanks to my mischievous 7yo so after some tweaking, my layout will be up later today.

I hope you can join in as we've had a lot of fun with this challenge and I'm sure you will too! Be sure to post a link to your blog or gallery so we can have a look at your creations. There's nothing we love more than to see everyone's takes on the challenges and as you can see from the layouts above, everyone's take is different so why not share yours?

Have a great day and happy scrapping! Lucinda xx

A Happy Sunday

2011-10-30T14:50:00.000+10:00

Hello there blog followers - I really hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday .....

This is just a reminder that you only have a couple of days to get your entries in for this months challenge .... you can find all the details right here as well as find some wonderful inspiration.

Talking about inspiration - I received an email the other day from my great friend Courtney Bendall. She had created a gorgeous layout of her little princess with our little man and so I thought I would share it with you all.

Courtney has used the Stuff 2 Scrap title "Best Friends" as well as the new chipboard mushroom that will hit the store very soon.

Well that is all from me .... Keep your eyes peeled for another great challenge next month as well as some new goodies .....

Until next time
Annmarie

A big Stuff 2 Scrap bumper share for you!!!

2011-10-28T09:00:00.000+10:00

Hey, hey, scrappers!!! LOTSO chippie here, all from Stuff 2 Scrap's store.

Here I've used Leeann's Up, Up & Away Balloon - in the pack you also get two clouds - but I've already used them on another project LOL. This one has been given a lick of paint and once dry, an outline in black marker (a Sharpie)! :D

The rest of the chippie is left naked (yep the "full monty") - I really like the look of it against the cardboard's Kraft colour! I've used Leeann's Retro Grass Border (small) here - I've cut it in half to frame the bottom photo. The pack also includes a butterfly, flower and heart - which are all on there too. :)

My background is actually vintage cards cut out and glued onto glittery cardstock, then swiped with black paint! Fun!

and my last share for the week...

Yep! Another double... LOL!

Here I have tried to recreate the feeling of a well-loved cookbook for my cooking themed double layout! I have used a paper bag, bakers twine, little teeny tiny post-it tags, bread tag and gingham ribbon to help tie-in this theme too.

There's lots of random splatterings of dimensional craft paint on there too... love that stuff! :D

I just loved using Leeann's scallop border (large) from Stuff 2 Scrap's store. In one pack you get a set of 2 scalloped borders, each measuring approx 300mm in length and 50mm in height. One border has no holes and the other one is with holes (more holes can be placed by using either a crop a dile or anywhere hole punch). I stuck rhinestones in mine! Another funky chippie design by the awesomely talented, Leeann Pearce.

I've really enjoyed sharing my creations with you all, and don't forget about our October challenge here! There's still plenty of time left!!! :D

TFL!

Hot Wheels! :D

2011-10-27T09:00:00.000+10:00

G'day scrappers! Don't you just love it when a layout just "falls" together so easily? Well that's what happened to me for this layout; I was sooo stoked to already have all the elements I needed in my stash when I wanted to do this one...

SO lovin' Leeann's Flame Border chippie from Stuff 2 Scrap's online store. Those wheels are really burnin' rubber!!!...

Also check out what I did with one piece of "Ann's Story Block #2 - Stars"...

Here I've cut it up and used one third under my title, disected the nested stars and stuck them down the page. The other piece is underneath my journalling block. All pieces have just a small bit of white paint on them, just as a li'l highlight. :)

BTW - Don't forget about our October challenge! All the deets are here! :D

TFL!

Every cloud has a silver lining... :)

2011-10-26T09:00:00.000+10:00

...well they do on this layout! :D

Hey everyone, I'd like to share with you all this layout using Stuff 2 Scrap chipboard...

So here I've been using Ann's Rainy Days Chipboard from Stuff 2 Scrap (these come in a pack consisting of 2 rainbows and 4 extra clouds)...

I gave my gorgeous S2S chippie rainbows and clouds a silver lining treatment using a mercury silver Galaxy Marker by American Crafts. These rainbows and clouds are totally awesome value, and are really versatile! I love how clouds and rainbows give a whimsical feel to my projects. I'm a huge fan!

I really enjoyed making this layout and I hoped you enjoyed my share!

BTW - don't forget our fantastic October challenge right here!!! It's such a beauty!!!

TFL! :)

It's "Ann"other double layout!!! (There's no stopping me!!!) ;)

2011-10-25T09:00:00.001+10:00

Hello there Stuff 2 Scrappers! :D I am so bursting for Summer... it's my favourite season of the year! So in lead up to this sunny season I've scrapped a very "Summery" layout!

My double layout (yes I'm at it again lol) is called "Celebrating Summertime", and if you click on the image it transforms from small to humungous! lol! :)

For my background, I covered cardstock with vintage sheet music paper and then I swiped it with white paint and then sprayed it with glimmermist.

I LOVE this chippie! These super cool corner chippies you can spy here are Ann's Geo Corners (Large) by Stuff 2 Scrap. Designed by Ann Lederhose, you get so much for your dollar with this collection. Well worth a look - just click on the link. :)

I have left this chippie raw and just cut it up a little to suit my layout...

Have you tried chippie borders like this before? They are definately one of my very favourite scrappy items... ever! They really give an extra dynamic feel to a layout and, left raw, they really do tend to "balance out" bright and "poppy" colours.

TFL!
TFL!

How about dressing up your chippie with patterned paper, beads and twine? :D

2011-10-24T09:00:00.002+10:00

Yes, I love trees! I am loving real trees and also chippie trees! Did you know that Stuff 2 Scrap's store have some lovely ones to chose from? :D

Here's a closie of my chippie tree...

Here I have outlined the tree onto the back of some cheery OA pp, turned it over and used a gel pen to copy the original design which was already on the chippie (which is about to be covered up), glued on the pp, cut the trunk to tuck on either side of the photo so it looks l o n g, then once attached to my layout I glued little heart beads where the hearts were drawn, and stuck little bits of Green Tara twine into each hole as stems (and glued them into place).

Ta-dah!!! My love for trees has now been documented! :D

TFL!

"Ann"other layout to share for you from Chantal! :)

2011-10-23T09:00:00.001+10:00

Sorry about the pun - but seriouly - I just couldn't help myself! ;)

I created this layout using another of the talented Ann Lederhose's awesome chipboard designs for Stuff 2 Scrap...

They are called Ann's Geo Borders! They are the coolest!!! You get two in a pack for only 2 bucks! Serious value! These two borders measure approx 2.4cm wide and 29.5cm long. They are designed by Ann Lederhose. Crazy 'bout them! Left them raw, and just cut one in half! :D

TFL & have a lovely day!

Hello from Chantal! :D

2011-10-22T09:00:00.004+10:00

Have you ever decorated your chippie with clips? Let me show you my layout doing just this...

Lots of clips here! Paper clips, bulldog clips, and a bone clip...LOL. :D

Here's a closie of a selection of my clips. They have festooned Ann's Frame It from Stuff 2 Scrap's fabulously funky store. Here I have cut up the chippie into a few pieces and tucked it above my photo matte (so it's not getting wasted).

Here's some of my cartoon cuties that I made with some leftover scraps... :) I've also used an Echo Park alpha sticker sheet as my layout backing - just for something different and fun! :D

Maybe you could give this a go, and "clip up" your S2S chippie for a bit of dimension, texture and (of course) F U N!

TFL!

Hi everyone = Anita here again!
Just thought I would share this layout I created using Leanne's Sea Grass Chippy...

I thought I would whip up some cards this week... I have run out and like to keep a stock of them so when birthdays rock around... I am prepared!

This one is using this gorgeous tree and rope swing. I painted it and then piled on some punched out leaves for dimension. I doodled on the trunk and wrapped some string for the rope.

Thanks for stopping by - I'll be back soon for some more shares from our team for this months challenge!!

October Challenge....!!!

2011-10-01T19:10:00.002+10:00

Hello everyone!!!

Anita here - I hope you are all having a great weekend!!

I love the start of the month .. so many fun new challenges to play along with and this one is a RIPPA!!

It's a 4,3,2,1 challenge!....

4 different pattern papers
3 flowers
2 tags
1 Stuff2Scrap chippy (another brand is ok too but how could you NOT scrap with the Stuff2Scrap chippies?!!)
This is just a minimum requirement... you can add more of each item and you can also add more elements - paint, mist stickers etc... it just has to have at least what is on the list.
You can create a card, layout or off the page project if you like!

I decided to do a wall hanging for my office for something a little different.....

And a little closie of that adorable Stuff2Scrap bird that I crackled then painted with Glimmer Mist and then hung a little tag/charm on his tail - CUTE!!

Now for some other AMAZING examples...

This one is from the VERY talented Chantelle Huizenga... oooh those colours are just gorgeous and I love what she has done with that beautiful tag she made here on last week's blog - what a GREAT idea!

My last share for my blogging week: I created this canvas for my craft room - as the room is fairly neutral, I want to brighten it up with fun things that I've made.

I've used scraps of fabric and pattern paper to make up the background of this canvas with lots of paints and inks!!

.. and I've added in some beautiful chipboard - the birdcage by Leeann - I have simple added glossy accent to make it shine ..

Hope you've enjoyed my inspiration and thanks for coming past and your lovely comments!!

There's still a few more days left for our current monthly challenge - you can view the details at this post - we would love to have more players - don't forget there is fabulous chipboard up for grabs!!

Tags & Journalling block

2011-09-27T12:38:00.000+10:00

OK, so I promised you I would be back to share a LO using one of the tags I created in the previous post. So here's what I've come up with:

When you have a tag all made up and ready to go - it's easy to add to your LO's such as this one. I've added in a few more bit and pieces to finish it off!

I did add in another peice of chipboard - you can see it peaking from behind the Hambly!! It's the journalling block - stars - I've stamped with a 'music note' stamp, then added some ink to the edges.

Hope you've been enjoying my inspiration - I have one more piece to show you tommorow - it's a mini canvas that I've created for my new crafting space. Til then...... happy crafting.

'itty bitty' chipboard

2011-09-25T23:25:00.000+10:00

hello, I'm back with some 'small' pieces of inspiration. I have some 'itty bitty' pieces of chipboard in my stash and have put them to good use on shipping tags.

By decorating and embellishing with chipboard and other fun items, you will have tags ready to add to your scrapbook LO's!!

... this one uses Leeanns Mini Huts ...

... and this one is a sweet little aeroplane chippie - a new item coming to Stuff 2 Scrap.

I've inked the edges of each piece of chipboard and leaving it raw to keep all the great details.
I'll be back tommorow to show you a LO using the last tag!!

chipboard corner star

2011-09-23T16:20:00.001+10:00

hello... it's Chantelle here to share with you some chipboard inspiration. I've had a little fun using the chipboard as a mask and then using the same piece as an embellishment on my LO!!

For this LO I've used the Chipboard Corner Star. Using glimmer-mist and the chipboard as a mask, I've created a star background. Then I've cut the same piece down to the size I liked, used some white paint and buttons - and created my own little embellishment. Here are some close-up's:

This piece of chipboard is fairly large, so I have enough for another LO. Masking with chipboard and glimmer-mist products is an easy way to add effective backgrounds to your pages. I hope you will give it a try with some of your own chipboard.

Happy crafting!!

2011-09-21T08:10:00.004+10:00

Hello Everyone!!!

Today I am back with another layout, I based this layout on the sketch challenge at Get Picky. And I used a Stuff 2 Scrap chippie word - 'Tough', I inked it with Distress Ink Brushed Corduroy and then finished it with Dimensional Magic. I also used a chippie heart and finished it off the same way.

Chipboard words are great for titles or adding some extra dimension to your layouts and they can be finished off in lots of different ways!

Rainy Days...

2011-09-19T00:18:00.004+10:00

I have a layout to share with you today using the gorgeous Stuff 2 Scrap Rainy Days chippie designed by Ann Lederhose.

I gave it a light coat of Gesso and then added Distress Stickles Antique Linen to the clouds and Stickles Chrystal to the rainbow.

I also love the little clouds in this pack and have some plans already for them, I think they would be perfect to add to cards!

I hope you all have a fabulous week!!

Spring Time!!

2011-09-16T12:05:00.005+10:00

Hi, its Colleen here to share with you today!

Its spring time so I thought I would pull out some flowers from my stash and my Stuff 2 Scrap Flowers Border #1 and created a layout of my DD when she was a baby.

This is one of my favourite pieces of Stuff 2 Scrap chippie, you can use it as one piece or cut it and use it in pieces. I cut two pieces and then painted it with Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint - Picket Fence. I then added them to my clusters of flowers.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and get some time to craft and don't forget Rachael's fabulous sketch challenge, you can find all the details here.

Cutest chippie EVER!

2011-09-15T20:11:00.003+10:00

Hi everybody!

I'm back to share some more with you today. I so loved working with this

gorgeous piece of chipboard.

I chose to use this fab mushroom house,

I think its the cutest chippie EVER!

I have inked and coloured this pretty little house

and then sprinkled the top with crystal flakes.

Then I have also made a cute birthday card using the

Leo Lion

I have coloured him with markers and then gone over him with

glossy accents to shine him up a bit :)

Thanks for looking xoxo

Hello Happy Scrappers!

I am so happy to be back and to be sharing something

a little different for me :)

I usually have trouble with white space, so have been trying to come

out of my comfort zone a little. So that's where this layout came from :)

and I have chosen to use the Heart Top2Bottom Border

which I have cut into pieces. I then inked it in a bright pink.

Once dry I then ran it through my Big Shot in a polka dot embossing folder.

I then inked the raised polka dots in silver to highlight them.

I love embossing chipboard, it adds another layer of texture to your layout!

I have lots more to share with you soon!

So until then, take care and have fun!

Lisa here :)

2011-09-10T21:03:00.000+10:00

Hi everybody!! Its Lisa here to share with you today!

I have been doing quite a bit of playing lately and for this layout I

chose to use the gorgeous

Ann's Story Block #1 Flowers

I love how versatile these are! I chose to journal with alpha stickers

and ink it slightly in the same colour, to grunge it up a bit :)

And add a little bit of girly bling :))

I have lots more to share with you over the next few days,

I'll catch up with you... until then

have a fabulous weekend and don't forget to check out

this months challenge - a gorgeous sketch from Rachael!

Good evening, scrappers!

2011-09-09T18:17:00.005+10:00

Hello everyone! Guess what? I was so excited to share with y'all my Stuff 2 Scrap creations that I've totally jumped the gun LOL! My turn to blog is actually next month so I'll actually see y'all again then!

It's the lovely Lisa's turn to share her Stuff 2 Scrap creations with you! How exciting!!!

Have an awesome weekend everyone! :D

Hi everyone, it's Chantal here! ;)

2011-09-08T13:39:00.004+10:00

It's my turn to blog this week! Yay!!!

I only finished this layout yesterday and I've managed to use two different Stuff 2 Scrap chippie goodies on here. My layout is called "Easter morning '11"...

I've used Leeann's Build an Owl from Stuff 2 Scrap - Designed by Leeann Pearce. Packaged in one piece this Owl and Tree/Branch can be pushed out of the chipboard frame and 'built', the leftover chipboard can then be used as a mask for drawing, painting or spraying with glimmermist. How cool is that!!! Here's a closie of my cute-as owl...

I first painted my owl and tree, then I covered it's wings with patterned paper, cut out circles for it's eyes (the larger circle was cut out with zig-zag decorative scissors), for it's tummy I cut out the pp to size and before attaching it to the chippie, I gave it an eyelet treatment. :D I then stuck all the bits together once dry, added googly eyes, buttons to the leaves, a felt beak :) and doodled around the edges and outlines of the chippie and patterned paper.... hoot hoot!

I've attached my title on top of a part of Ann's Geo Corners from Stuff 2 Scrap - Designed by Ann Lederhose. The chipboard card you get actually measures approx 16cm x 21cm and features the large Geo Corners (not used on this layout - will use soon!). You also get 2 ATC cards - one which can be used as a journal block,the other as an atc card. There are also plenty extra circles to accessorize and once you pop out the corners you can even use what is left as a great looking frame (which is what I used on my layout - I've used one and a half ATC cards). Basically I drew an outline around the cards onto vintage book paper, then I poked out all the circles and glued the circles back how they are originally positioned in the card onto the book paper, removing the outer card to use in another section. Easy but effective and most importantly... fun! Here's a closie of the "negative of the card used"...

I hope I've inspired some of you to try these super-fun chippie designs - they are such good value and a total HOOT! Couldn't resist it... LOL!

Don't forget to play along with our monthly challenge! Details and inspo right HERE! Can't wait to see your creations!

TFL & BBS! :) :) :)
Cheers,
Chantal

Scallops and Hearts

2011-08-26T16:20:00.004+10:00

Hi, this is Colleen here today with my first post for Stuff 2 Scrap, I am so excited to be sharing my first layout with you.

I used the gorgeous border 'Leeann's Scallop Border - Mini' and I love the way it adds such an interesting pattern to my layout. I covered it with some patterned paper and filed the edges slightly to finish it off neatly.

And a close up of my heart, I have used 'Chipboard Hearts #001'. In my opinion you can never have too many chipboard hearts in your stash, they make a great embellishment on any project!!

I hope you all have a crafty weekend and don't forget there is still a couple days left to get your entries in for this months challenge!!

Some Gorgeous Creations !!!!

Something to share!

2011-08-23T18:32:00.000+10:00

Hi everybody!

This is my first blog post for Stuff 2 Scrap and I am a little nervous LOL

I don't know about you, but I am so over winter! Being a Qld girl,

for the past 21years, I love the heat and am looking forward to it coming back.

So to make myself feel a little better I pulled out some summer photos from last year

and scrapped a photo of my husband and myself at the beach.

I have used the gorgeous Heart balloon with arrow for this project.

I actually have a sneaky secret to share with you of how I got this finish,

and at a rather cheap cost too! I have used some metallic 3D fabric paint.

With the pink I have swirled it around to get a bit of texture to it, I love a bit

of texture to my chippie, but you could also paint it on smooth.

I have also used grey for the arrow through the heart.

I love chipboard there are so many things you

can do with it, always able to have something fresh and different

to your projects. I hope you'll give this a try one day soon!

Anyways I hope you all have a wonderful week

and until next time....

have lots of chippie fun!

Lisa

Sunday Sweets anyone???

2011-08-21T09:39:00.000+10:00

Hello and happy Sunday!

Anita here again.

Thought I would share some Sunday Sweetness and show you how I made this ice-cream cone that looks good enough to eat!

I used 'Choc Ice' by Ann Lederhose - I just love this chippy set! - This is what you get in the pack (plus a smaller one which is not pictured) They actually come apart - or you can leave them together if that suits you better..... I took mine apart so I could add lots of dimension!

I coloured everything except the 'ice cream top' with this glimmer mist which is the perfect cone colour!

Now time for the ice cream! I used a sticky ink (perfect medium or versamark) and ultra thick embossing powder (you can use normal embossing powder - you may just need more coats)..

When the first coat is melted and still hot (be careful), I dip it straight back into a pile of the powder to build up the thickness (I ended up with 3 coats on mine)...

Then while the embossing powder was hot and melted, I sprinkled in some little beads! After I had the beads where I wanted them, I used the heat tool to re-melt again just to make sure those little beads don't go anywhere!

I then stuck it all together and added a cute little ribbon and ta da - looks good enough to eat don't you think!?

Thanks for hanging out with me this week!

Make sure you have a go at the challenge - lots of fun with colour and chippies!

Enjoy your Sweet Sunday!

Let's get shabby!

2011-08-19T08:59:00.000+10:00

Hi everyone - Anita here again!

Just thought I would share this layout I created yesterday and show you how I created that delicious shabby look on the Stuff2Scrap chippy word 'Friend'.....

First of all - I painted gesso on the bare Stuff2Scrap chippy word (if you don't have gesso you could just use white paint to seal it). These are the products I used... Pearl acrylic paint and ultra thick embossing powder (you can use normal acrylic paint and normal embossing powder too - I just like it extra thick and bumpy!)...

First coat of that acrylic paint needs to be VERY generous... really pile it on!

While the paint is wet, sprinkle on the ultra thick embossing powder (it will stick to the paint). I try not to cover the whole thing with powder - I like the white to show a little.... Before you go any firther - I would recommend opening the windows and maybe turning on the fan before you take to it with your heat gun! The trick is to continue heating until it bubbles and the white paint bubbles up through the embossing powder. Ooh - look at that yummy texture!

You can leave it like this but I wanted to add another coat of pearl paint over the top of that and then cooked it again for more of a shabby look! These Stuff2Scrap chippies take the heat and the layers of paint so easily - no warping or swelling - LOVE IT!

I didn't take a pic of this step but I then took some peeled paint (green) distress ink and rubbed some on the edges and a little over the top to give it some more colour (and to match the layout a little better)...

There you have it! Isn't this yet another awesome way to change up your Stuff2Scrap chippies - they are just SO VERSATILE!!!

Thanks for stopping by - hope you give this little technique a go - see you back here again soon for some more chippy goodness!

Want to make a custom backround with me??

2011-08-17T08:01:00.000+10:00

Hello - Anita here again!

Thought I would share a bit of 'love heart' love and show you how I made this custom background for my layout... maybe you'd like to have a go?
First of all - I love the Stuff2Scrap love hearts - can't get enough of them - love the versatility and especially the dimension! I had a pack of the mixed love hearts (chipboard hearts #001 - you get loads in a pack!) and these T2B Heart borders (top to bottom heart borders) ....

I just took the heart border and snipped it apart to make lots of little love hearts - so versatile!! I then took a piece of kraft cardstock and attached different sized love hearts randomly with some strong glue (I used glossy accents)...

Now for the fun part... I attacked it with glimmer mist .....

I then took my distress ink and ran the pad directly over the raised hearts to make them stand out more....

Another fun thing to do with these gorgeous love hearts is to use them as a template for sewing....

Then pretty it up any way you like! I also stitched around the hearts on the left to accent them a little more. Such a fun way to use these gorgeous chippies (and I still have loads of those little hearts to use on future projects!)

So that's it for today... I am working on another really fun technique which I will share in a few days! Be sure to have a go at the August challenge here at Stuff2Scrap too - plenty of time to get your entries in!! Have fun!

HAPPY MONDAY!!

2011-08-15T13:36:00.000+10:00

Hello - Anita here! Hope everyone had a great weekend!
I am working on some exciting stuff but just wanted to share a quick layout I completed last week. My layouts seem to be getting brighter and brighter lately!

I gave those chippies a serious case of chicken pox with a red felt tip pen and then dobbed them with glossy accents to give them a fun bubble look! I repeated that on the big red heart chippy too (but coloured it red with glimmer mist first). See you back here again soon!

Quick Gift!

2011-08-14T15:15:00.000+10:00

Hey Hey Hey : )

Here's hoping everyone has had a FABULOUSLY FAB weekend!!

In the week I had to create a last minute gift for a friend.....I didn't have anytime to pop to the shop......or much time to make a gift.....Soooooo I opened my draw full of Stuff 2 Scrap goodies....pulled a couple of bits out.....and started creating......

Both the card and the "Home Sweet Home" sign took me a little over half an hour....Noice!

For this card I used Ann's Rainy Day chippy. I gessoed it then coloured in with some indian ink markers.....then outlined with a black pen.

Next up I created a 'patchwork' little sign using a new frame chippy which will be in store very soon! I painted over it, stuck different bits of scrap paper to the back, sewed on it a bit with the sewing machine then stuck a doily in the middle, added alphas which I stitched over then popped on some sassafras lass flower stickers.....easy peasy!! I used a scrap peace of gingham fabric that I sewed on to hang it by!

Love and Peace xox

2011-08-08T22:31:00.000+10:00

Hiya Guys : )

So excited that it's my blogging week...have so much too share!

This week I have decided to focus on off the page projects using chipboard.....It's such an AWESOMELY versatile product.......I mean the things you can do to it and use it for are endless....only bound by your imagination!!

So for the start of the week I have got some mixed media projects to show you.....

So I took Christy Tomlinson's She Art workshop awhile ago...and I totally rediscovered my adoration for painting and art journalling....I have always painted and art journalled....but stopped a few years ago.....the class really got my mojo flowing again.....and I haven't stopped since : )

My Stuff 2 Scrap chippy stash is PERFECT for making art! I LOVE adding it to my canvases & journals....love that it adds a bit of lumpy bumpyness!!

Sooooooo today I have two canvases to show you....

First up is a "She Art" canvas.....

I have used a bird from the Chipboard Birds #001 pack, I covered it with fabric tape then doodled on it...

Next up is another canvas...

Isn't this bicycle chippy GORGEOUS?? It will be available very soon...so keep an eye out for it! I gessoed it, painted with glimmer glaze then doodled on it...

I have also used the FAB Miss Leeann Pearce's Sun'N'Clouds chippy's I have gessoed the sun then painted & doodled on. I covered the clouds in paper tape then doodled on them...

Hope you got some inspiration to get messy and use your chipboard in a different way!

I will be back in the week with some more otp fun : )

Love and Peace xox

Hey, check out this new chippie design...

2011-08-05T20:45:00.008+10:00

Hello scrappers! Check out these super-cool chippie "heart flowers" that I've used on my double layout, "Way 2 Go!" Aren't they so delicate? I love the detail and left raw, they really add just that bit extra to your page. They will be available in store soon.

Here's the layout in full...

You can double-click on it to see it properly (at the moment it's the perfect size for Barbie!). And here's just one more closie just for fun...

This was a really fun layout to do - here I've documented my daughter Lucy's big sprint race at her school faction carnival. It's the race that stops the school (so to speak...ha ha ha). Anyway it was an important event, so I'm glad to have documented all the details worth remembering.

I've also included her actual ribbon from her race on the page, which was cute to add. :)

You may of noticed that Lucy has grown quite a bit since the pic in my last post here. LOL. :D

Now scrappers, don't forget about the super duper awesome colour challenge right here! I'm hosting this month's challenge, and it's well worth a look! And a play! Really! :D

That's all for now - have a great weekend, scrappers!

Cheers,
Chantal :)

Ann's Story Block Goodness :)

2011-08-04T10:18:00.004+10:00

Hi there scrappers! Today I thought I'd share with you what I did recently with Ann's Story Block #1 - Flowers. These packs consist of 2 story blocks which are approx 9cm high x 7cm wide and 8.5cm wide x 7cm high. They are simply devine and they make a really lovely addition to your pages! Designed by Ann Lederhose, you can easily cut them like I've done here in my "Lucy" layout to make a real feature out of them around your title...

I also used one on my double layout "Whirlpool". See it peeking out there? It's so cute don't you think?

My full double layout "Whirlpool" can be seen on the below post. It's created for this month's super duper colour challenge where you need to create a page/card/otp using these colours...

SUGAR RUSH PINK
TROPICAL WATER BLUE
SPAGHETTI WESTERN RED
PANDA EYES BLACK
SOFT SERVE WHITE

Plus a bit of chipboard on your creation! I'm looking forward to seeing lots of colourful entries this month. For more inspiration, please check out the below post for some stunning examples by the super-talented Creative Team here!

Until next time, happy scrapping!
Cheers,
Chantal

It's a colourful August challenge with Chantal! :)

2011-08-01T11:19:00.018+10:00

Hello everyone! Well it's a new month so (yay) it's a new challenge here at Stuff 2 Scrap! I am so excited to bring to you all my very first challenge here, so without further ado here it is! :)

I'd like you to create a page/card/otp using the following colours...

SUGAR RUSH PINK
TROPICAL WATER BLUE
SPAGHETTI WESTERN RED
PANDA EYES BLACK
SOFT SERVE WHITE

Plus I'd like to see chippie on your creation! :)

Fun hey? And this can be interpreted in so many ways - from girl pages to boy pages and everything in between - just have a look below for some super cool examples!

Here's my layout example for this challenge, "Whirlpool". I went for a double because I had so many fun "whirlpool" photos to scrap. (Please double-click on my double for a better view.)

Here's a close-up - I have used part of Ann's Story Block #1 - Flowers for some super cute journalling.

And here I've used a S2S chippie crown and wrapped some craft string around it and decorated it with some brads.

Next up we have super-talented Jess's layout, "Giggles"...

How cute is that!!! I love it! Jess has used more of the "soft serve white" and just "sprinkled the pretty colours on there" - fab work, Jess!

Look at what Jess has done with Petrina's Criss Cross Corner! Love her white-washing and doodling in black - and the red stitching is so funky!

Wow! :D

Next up is a creation by one of our new Creative Team members, Rachael Funnell! She is such an inspiring scrapper - and I love her work!

Rachael's gorgeous layout is called "Live Out Loud" and it's the perfect title when using these bright colours! Note how she emphasised the "Tropical Water Blue" to turn it into a rockin' boy page for her son? Rachael has used the Top2Bottom Heart Border here - I love how she's coloured each heart like that! She has also used a super cool chippie buckle from Petrina's Nana's Buckle #1 pack.

Next is the fabulous Chantelle's layout, "Play"...

I love all the texture Chantelle combines on her creations, and this is a perfect example! See how Chantelle has focused on the blue and white mostly, which just a few touches of red and just the one hint of pink? This looks awesome! Perfect for boys and the beach! That tiny bit of pink really sets it off I think! :)

I just love how Chantelle has painted Leeann's Bubble Border here! It looks like sea spray - what an awesome effect! Chantelle has also used Leeann's Beach Hut #1 there and left it raw and just added a little red button on the door handle. So cute!!! :)

Here's another gorgeous layout, this time by another of our new Creative Team Members, Lisa Amiet!

Lisa's layout is called "My 2 Babes" and I just adore the playful vibe here! Lisa has used lots of chippie goodness from S2S and I love how they've been placed at different angles which really adds to the fun feel! Awesome! :)

One more gorgeous creation, this time from another new team member - the awesomely-talented Anita Tillman...

Her layout "True Beauty is just breathtaking isn't it? Anita has softened the colours somewhat, yet they still remain the same shade which is very clever!

This layout is packed with S2S chippie goodness! There is the word "Beauty" in a pretty script font, the bird from the Chipboard Birds Pack #1, a heart from Chipboard Hearts Pack #1 (can we ever really have enough hearts? :)) and a pretty flower border layered underneath her photo and embellishment cluster which has been left raw and decorated with blue rhinestones.

Wow - look at that detailed shot! :)

Aren't they all just fabulous!!! Please visit our talented team's blogs to see more details of their work (the links are in the sidebar).

So loads of great ideas and inspiration (and some more will be coming up soon too!) and I really hope you will all be able to join in with this fun challenge - you have until the 31st of August to enter your creation into Mr Linky (in the sidebar) and you'll have a chance at winning an awesome prize pack!!!

Good luck and enjoy!

Cheers,
Chantal :)

Lucinda Benson

I’m Lu Benson, mum of five bright sparks; Blayd (16), Lachlann (13), James (10), Caeligh (7) and Indi (2 months). I’ve been married to Doug for four years, together for 14, and we live in sunny Brisbane, Queensland. I began scrapbooking back in 2004, when pregnant with Caeligh, as I was looking for an activity to keep me busy once the baby arrived. I have always had an interest in drawing, story writing and arty type pursuits in general and scrapbooking covers just about all of them, and thus is the one hobby I’ve stuck with as it is such a flexible, interpretive form of creativity. It doesn’t date; sure, the styles change and trends come and go, but the basics are always the same so it’s a craft that anyone can do.

My style is probably best described as “messy” lol. I don’t use sketches, page maps, or even begin my pages with a plan of attack in mind. I love the down and dirty techniques of tearing, inking, sanding and grunging up my pages, no matter what the subject. I also love using found, repurposed and non-traditional items on my pages.

When I’m not scrapping, I am kid wrangling, working as a freelance medical typist, taking photographs, going to the beach, rummaging through thrift shops and flea markets, and very occasionally, even getting through a good book.

I’m so excited to be joining the Stuff 2 Scrap team and getting back into doing what I love. I’m grateful to Warren and Annmarie for this opportunity as I am a huge chipboard fan as its possibilities are limitless. I’m looking forward to hopefully bringing some inspiration and ideas to you, along with the other very talented members of the team.

AND.....

Colleen Boshoff

Hi my name is Colleen Boshoff and I am married to an incredibly supportive husband when it comes to my crafty hobbies. We have three wonderful children Courtney, Jayden and Conner.

I have always been into crafty hobbies and started scrapbooking when my children were babies. With the kids being so young there wasn't much time but for the past two years I have been addicted to this craft and love the social side to! More recently I have found a passion for stamping, colouring with Copics and making cards and I love to add some chipboard to these mini creations.

Thank you Annmarie and Warren I am super excited to be part of your amazing Creative Team and look forward to creating with your gorgeous chipboard and to inspiring you all!!

Well that is the new team - so I hope you will make them all welcome :) Please dont forget this months challenge ends soon, so get your entries in.

Until next time
Annmarie

Another Member for you to meet

Anita Tillman

My name is Anita Tillman and I have 2 beautiful kids Romi (5yo) and Ollie (3yo) and a wonderful patient husband! I started scrapping over 5 years when I had to stop work due to pregnancy complications and needed something to relieve my boredom - my mum suggested scrapping. I thought there was NO WAY it would be for me and by the time I completed my first page I was well and truly hooked!
I love scrapping pages of my family and I also have a special little love for OTP too when I can find the time!
I only started blogging a few months ago and it has totally opened my eyes to another creative universe ... oh what fun! Seeing other talented artists out there has really inspired me to try so many new things and push myself to experiment with so many different goodies - I just love it! This is my first ever time as a Creative Team Member and I am so excited and honored to be part of such a great team!

As soon as I have a picture from both the wonderful Lucinda and Colleen I will get them up here too .... Hopefully everyone is having a great week and enjoy your weekend ....

Until next time

Annmarie

I’ve been scrapbooking for about 5 years now & Is still my only Addiction.....

I mostly Prefer to Create 12x12 Layouts, But I will create card here & there....

I really don’t have a defined style, But I do love a Butterfly or 5 on most of my layouts!!! hehehe

Lisa Amiet

Hi my name is Lisa Amiet and I live in sunny Queensland. I have been married to my wonderfully supportive husband for 14 years and we have 2 children Brianna, who is 11 and Riley, who is 4.

I have always loved photography and of course I had to find something to do with all those pictures and that is where I discovered Scrapbooking. This gives me a way to document all those stories behind the pictures I take...and I get to play with pretty stuff!! What more could a girl want.

The thing that I love most about scrapbooking is the lovely friends that I have made, and hopefully all the new ones that I will make in the future. I’m not sure that I have a particular style of scrapbooking, but like to try anything at least once.

I am currently on the Design Team for “Bird is the Word” Challenge blog and am Berry Bleu's Tags and am honoured to have been chosen to be on the Stuff2Scrap Team. I can't wait to get started!

Please stay tuned as we some more wonderful ladies coming soon ......

Good Morning chipboard fans :))

I hope this finds you all not to cold.
Good Hot chocolate weather uh!

Firstly I want to say a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to the new design team. I am sure we all cant wait to see your wonderful creations.
You may or may not have noticed that my name is missing from the list.
The reason behind that is because I am finishing up with Stuff 2 Scrap. Its time for me to take a step backwards and to concentrate a little bit more on my little family. Unfortuntaley its one those things where you have to weigh up your options and family always seems to win!

I hope you all understand.

Now onto happy things.
I want to share with you today some gift tags I made.

I am going to admit and say that sometimes I think of chipboard only on layouts.. but you know what.. I proved myself wrong.
There are so many awesome designs that stuff 2 scrap have, that I also found them perfect to alter a few notebooks.

I am a HUGE notebook girl. There in EVERY room!

I hope that gives you a few more ideas with the chipboard.
Dont forget about this month challenge. I am loving ALL the enteries so far and would love to see a few more.

Happy scrappy Monday! :)

another LO using some fun chipboard - I've used the Up and Away by Leeann
I've sponged the edges of the balloon and added a large button - the cloud has been covered in pattern paper and sanded back - one of my favourite ways to cover chipboard.
And I've also added in a heart with swirls - it's a new item from Stuff 2 Scrap!
Here's some close-up's:

Love how this one came together - I've even used some of the criteria for this months challenge: stamping, circles, layers and of course chipboard. It's easy to incorporate these fun elements into any LO.
Thanks for coming by.

2011-07-07T23:10:00.001+10:00

hello, it's Chantelle posting here and I have a LO to share! I've used one of Leeann's fabulous mushrooms - there's two in the pack and I've used the larger one - you can find them right HERE
I've inked the edges, added a button and also white rub-on's.
Here's a close-up:

This peice of chipboard was perfect for this LO as it really suited the 'exploring in the forest' theme.

Thanks for coming by and I hope you are all getting your July challenge LO's together!

A little more inspiration for our current June Challenge - colours and buttons - you can find the details here: June Challenge. I love the combination of these colours and this picture worked well with them too.
Here's a close-up of the chipboard that I've used to go along with this LO:

I've painted the chipboard with blue paint, then used a Kaisercraft scroll stamp with white ink to add some swirly patterns. And can you spot the buttons - I've clustered them altogether with flowers!

We hope you can join along with the challenge this month - don't forget to link up your LO's with Mr Linky in the sidebar.

Thanks for coming by and happy crafting.

Playground F U N !

2011-05-29T22:27:00.002+10:00

Hello there fellow scrappers! Thanks for all your lovely comments over the last week! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! I have one more share here for you this week. It's called "Playground Fun".

On my layout I've used Stuff 2 Scrap's Chipboard Corner Flower #1 border as a design feature. I've left the chippie raw, and used three of the "cut out" flowers as a template over the reverse side of the patterned paper to draw the same flower shapes, then cut these out, flipped them over and adhered them to the base of the flowers for contrast (the pp was actually the reverse of the "stem" pp that it is over). Then I just filled in these three flowers with craft glue and sprinkled little co-ordinating beads into them to give a kind of shaker-effect... without the shaking action! :) I think it looks pretty! :D

Now don't forget to get your entries in to our monthly challenge! The challenge ends May 31st so there's totally still time! Check it out here! I love checking out everyone's interpretations! Remember - you've got to be in it to win it! ;)

TFL!

It's a great day to S H I N E ! :D

2011-05-27T16:08:00.005+10:00

Hello there! Happy Friday! Guess what?! I've got another layout to share with you all! This one is jammed-packed with 4 Stuff 2 Scrap goodies! Okay here we go...

This layout is called "It's Your Day to Shine". It's of my daughter Lucy at her birthday party - which just so happened to be on her actual birthday! Sweet! :D

I've matted my main photo with corrugated cardboard strips and this has then been placed on top of 2 separate pieces of funky square frames - to give my layout a bit of depth and dimension!

Now see this big flower? Well it's a die-cut flower shape, with an Engraved Acrylic Button in the centre! Now the great thing about these buttons, is that they are clear - so here I've used a co-ordinating die-cut underneath the button and inked the edges and pierced through the button holes to create a fully co-ordinated funky button! Then I simply tied some string through it and tied myself a nice knot! Another handy fact about these buttons are that the button holes are a nice size for thicker threads such as twine and thick string (like I've used here). LOVE these buttons - so very handy to have in your stash! They are so cheap too! :)

And here I've used Leeann's Mini Cage - isn't it the 'tweetest?! I've left it raw - such gorgeous detailing - and I've threaded some string through the top loop and tied a li'l bow. Just too cute!

I hope you liked my share today! Have an awesome weekend! I'll be back real soon with some more! :D

TFL!

Hey, this chippie makes me wanna PARTY! :)

2011-05-25T14:27:00.005+10:00

Here's my double layout called "Let the Fun Begin!". My daughter Heidi turned 3 here... she's such a cutie! :)

Please double click on my layout for a better view. I've also got some close-up shots for you all too, so here we go! First up we have...

This super-cool arrow taken from the pack of 6 "Chipboard Arrows #1". I have LOVED these arrows and I've only got one left... *sob*. You would of seen them popping up on various layouts I've done previously - they come in all different shapes and sizes. They RULE! So I just wrapped 3 different colours of twine around this one. ;)

Next up we have...

Pumpkin Pink's Present Border Mini! Soooo sweet isn't it?! I've cut it up a little and used some more on the left of my layout... using them kind of like a bracket to ground and "neutralise" the layout if that makes sense... LOL. Love the detail on these, so I left them raw 'cause they look awesome - kinda like burned-etched, and I simply added some twine bows on top for a bit of colour and dimension! :D

Last but definately not least we have...

This super-cool crown by Stuff 2 Scrap. You get a pack of tiaras and crowns and they are so much fun to use. Here I've decorated this one with twine, adhesive rhinestones and a rhinestone brad. It's the perfect finishing touch and it really makes sure the focus is of the birthday girl! :D

One more thing - my background is cardstock covered with vintage children's book paper, white-washed with acrylic paint then splattered with watered-down black acrylic paint.

I hope you've enjoyed my share! I've enjoyed it! I think I'll have to go an blow up a balloon now! ;)

TFL!

Nice Ice, Baby!

2011-05-24T11:49:00.003+10:00

Hello! Here's a layout I just completed using "Vanilla Ice" by Anne Lederhose. The Vanilla Ice pack features a small engraved cone measuring approx 9cms, a pop out design measuring approx 13cms and a blank design 12.3cms. Cool hey?! ;)

I've painted my larger pop out cone white, covered my blank design with patterned paper and layered these together. I have left the small engraved cone in it's raw state. I have just used some foam tape partially underneath the smaller cone so it lies flat (as it's layered with the larger one).

I think these icecream cones are the perfect touch to any Summertime project, or for that matter, any project calling for a bit of sweetness (I love icecream all year round!).

Hey there everyone, it's my turn to show and tell this week! :D

I'd like to share with you all a layout I just finished last week called "Cheeky Rascal"; using a "Rascal" Chipboard Title, I've decorated it by simply writing "CHEEKY" all over it with a black gel pen.... :D

There are lots of titles to choose from in store, and if the title you're looking for isn't there - then Stuff 2 Scrap will MAKE it for you! So cool huh?!
