Mixed Media Card - Memories with Ruchi

Hello friends!! Ruchi here from Ruchi's Crafeteria and I'm back with my inspirational project.

Today I've created a mixed media card.

Took a card stock and adhered Prima paper on that. It's already printed in vintage look so didn't add any texture. Just distressed the edges using Walnut Stain distress ink.

Picked SRTC Delicate Lace Doily and SRTC Foliage Pieces chipboards and applied Expressions Craft 'Bronze Moon' metallic paint.

Arranged all the elements like SRTC chipboards, Prima flowers, Kaisercraft flowers, some fussy cut elements from the same Prima papers, stamped and gold embossed leaves and some embellishments.

That’s it for today!! Hope you like my today's project. Don’t forget to check SRTC shop for these chipboards and some other awesome designs.

Friends Scrapbook Layout with Gloria Lee

Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!!!

Gloria here today and happy to share of my project.

 I made a scrapbooking layout using Friends word, Retro lightbulb and Chain Anchor chipboard die cut  from Southern Ridge Trading Company Shop.

I made a 12 x 12" layout with my husband and son's photos.

First, I coloured the chipboard cut with white and black paint.

Here are a few step outs showing how I got my pieces together before adhere them. 

I choose 'Oh, happy day!' 12x12 collection kit from Simple Stories.

I cut the papers and die cut white and black card stick using dotted circle die set.

I painted the edges of designer paper pieces with Hero arts inks.

And adhere all paper pieces with double-sided tape and glue pen.

I adhere coloured chipboards on the layout with glue pen.

And added some stickers.

“Exhale” Altered Frame with Karen Jiles

Hi there, 

It’s Karen sharing an “Exhale” Altered Frame that I created with the Exhale Word Mix and Sideview Butterfly chipboard.  I loved how this project came together. Take a peek at my tutorial below.

Step 1: Apply embossing ink directly to the Fibers stencil and then transfer the reverse pattern to the inked manila tag. Pour white embossing powder onto tag, shake off excess and heat set.

Step 2: Trim manila tag down to size of frame opening and insert. Using a foam tool, apply Pacific Teal Embellishment Mousse to the frame. Heat set to dry.

Step 3: Adhere flowers, jeweled charm and dyed ribbon to the frame using hot glue.

Step 4: Adhere Sideview Butterfly and Breathe & Exhale worded chipboard to the frame using E6000.

Step 5: Using a paintbrush, highlight the flowers and dyed ribbon with gesso. Tap on gesso using paintbrush.

Step 6: Continue embellishing as desired.
