Happy Wednesday! I hope you are enjoying a marvelous day so far! Aymee, aka Southernbellescrapper, here to share a couple of projects featuring the Scrap-Tastic 'Scrap-Tacular' Kit with you!!! This is one fabulous kit! Have you checked out the blog this week??!!! So many awesome projects! If you haven't, be sure to scroll down and check them out! I guarantee you will be inspired!
Check out the kit…
First, I created a layout using this fun kit. This layout features paper that is included in the kit from Pink Paislee. I just love this paper. It is so versatile and I really enjoyed working with it. I also added in a My Mind's Eye die cut and alphabet, chipboard embellished with PK Glitz Glitter, yellow ball fringe, and a bit of stitching using my sewing machine. I adhered the majority of my layout using the Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive Runner. I brushed some Helmar 450 Quick Dry on my chipboard to adhere the glitter and popped it up with a Helmar 3-D Zap Dot (White).
Here is my page, "Those Faces." This picture was taken on a warm, Spring day in 2006. My father and nephew, Carter, were caught running around in the sprinklers. The faces they are displaying gives me the giggles each time I see this photo!
I played around with a new technique I came up with as well….
I thought I would share this quick and easy tip with you. As you may know, I am all about dimension on any project that I create. I just love it! To begin, I cut a piece of 7"x 4" sheet of patterned paper. I scored it at the 2" mark and folded in half. I then took my sewing machine and stitched it closed for added security.
Next, I used my scissors and cut snips into the strip as shown. No need to be precise here, you may cut as many or as few 'slits' as you like.
Last, I used my fingers to open up each slit as shown for the dimension I was looking for…
Now, you will want to adhere these, overlapping slightly, with a strong adhesive. I highly recommend the Helmar 450 Quick Dry for this. It worked like a charm on my page!!!
Next, I decided to play with the swimsuit themed paper from Fancy Pants Designs that was included in the kit. I made another one of my favorites…the easel card. Now, I made one of these for a blog post a few weeks ago and I know someone had asked me how I did it. Well, I thought I would post the link to the tutorial that I used here for you in case you too would like to know how to make an easel card. They are so easy to make and I am addicted to them!
For this card, I adhered my paper using the Helmar Quick-Fix Adhesive Runner. I adhered my yellow ball fringe, ribbon, and buttons using Helmar 450 Quick Dry.
This printed ribbon is from Fancy Pants Designs.
Now, I would like to say 'Thank You' to Becky and Scrap-Tastic for sending us this luscious kit to work with! I truly have enjoyed it!
I hope all of you fabulous crafters have a wonderful day and Happy Scrappin'!
