First Snow Day Scrapbook Layout with Karla Yungwirth

Hello friends! Karla back today with a frosty layout using the gorgeous Large Snowflake Wreath from Southern Ridge Trading Company, a snowflake from the Snowflakes 712 pack, some Mini Wood Sleighs and my favourite Soda Fizz Stencil to document our first snowfall this year in Calgary, Alberta! 

I customized the Snowflake Wreath by painting it first with some beautiful, creamy Paper Artsy Paints by Seth Apter and then added Ranger Matte Medium to each part that I wanted to emboss with Emerald Creek Embossing Powders. After I added the embossing to the snowflakes and swirls with Winters Mistake, Mermaid Fin and Kiss Of The Fairy Embossing Powders I then embossed the whole frame with Fractured Ice Powder. I printed my photo as a 3x4 and it framed it beautifully. 

I used one of the kits from Scrap Shotz Kit Club from last year that featured the Carta Bella Cabin Fever Collection and I painted the tiny Mini Wood Sleighs to match the colours with the Paper Artsy Paints. They are so adorable!!

I embossed the pretty snowflake from the Snowflakes 712 pack with Emerald Creek Mermaid Fin powder and used some Shimmerz clear sparkly texture paste over the Soda Fizz Stencil to give a snowy effect at the top and bottom of the page. 

I just love how I’m able to easily and beautifully customize the SRTC embellishments to match my projects! There is such a wide assortment of Chipboard and Wood Veneer available in the shop that you’ll be sure to find just the right one for your own project! Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a wonderful week ahead!

Happy Fall Card with Katelyn Grosart

Hey Southern Ridge Trading Company fans, Katelyn here. For today's post, I'm excited to share with you this Happy Fall Card. To embellish my card, I featured one of our popular frames as well as our fall chipboard pieces. You'll want to read below as I share with you how I embellished the chipboard pieces for my card.

To start, take out two of the Wood Mini Maple Leaves from the package. Apply two coats of Candied Apple Distress Stain to one of the leaves. Apply two coats of Carved Pumpkin Distress Stain to the other leaf. Once the stain has dried on both leaves, rub Walnut Stain Distress Crayon along the edges of the leaves.

Take two Mini Wood Pumpkins out of the package. Apply two coats of Carved Pumpkin Distress Stain to the bottom portion of both pumpkins. Apply two coats of Pine Needles Distress Stain to the top portion of both pumpkins.

You'll need to take one Skeleton Leaf out of the package. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to the leaf. Sprinkle Burnt Copper Leaves Embossing Powder over top of the leaf. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with your heat tool.

Take two Pumpkin Leaves out of the package. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to each pumpkin leaf. Sprinkle Forest Foliage Embossing Powder over each pumpkin leaf. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with your heat tool. You may need to reapply emboss it ink to the leaves and sprinkle Forest Foliage Embossing Powder over top. Tap off the excess powder and re-emboss with a heat tool.

The last piece of chipboard you need to embellish is the Tribal Feather Frame. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Ground Espresso Distress Ink over the entire surface of the frame.

Once all the patterned papers have been layered together and the oval has been foam squared to the middle of the 4 1/4" piece of patterned paper, adhere the frame over top of the patterned paper oval. Adhere the two pumpkin leaves in the bottom left hand side of the frame. Adhere the skeleton leaf over top of the pumpkin leaves. To finish off the corner, adhere the two pumpkins at the bottom of the skeleton leaf. 

At the top of the frame, foam square the two maple leaves as desired.

To finish off the cardfront, use foam squares to adhere the fall saying. To finish off the card, cut a cardbase that measures 6" x 9", score at 4 1/2". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.

Here's the finished Happy Fall Card.

Hooray It's Autumn Time Tag with Katelyn Grosart

Hey Southern Ridge Trading Company fans, Katelyn here. For today's post, I was inspired by the weather change here on Vancouver Island. The rain is in full swing now and it feels like Autumn is here, even though Fall hasn't officially started. With Fall on my mind, this Hooray It's Autumn Time Tag.  To embellish my tag, I featured a variety of our popular fall themed chipboard pieces. You'll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my tag at home.

To start, choose a feather that looks as close to a leaf out of the Tribal Feather Mix. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to the feather. Sprinkle Vintage Ivy Embossing Powder overtop of the feather. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

Take one of the Skeleton Leaf out of the package. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to the leaf. Sprinkle Weathered Wood Embossing Powder overtop of the leaf. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

From the Pumpkin Leaves, take two out of the package. Apply two coats of Peeled Paint Distress Paint to each pumpkin leaf. Once the paint has fried, rub Forest Moss Distress Crayon along the edges of the leaves using your finger.

Take three Mini Wood Maple Leaves out of the package. Apply two coats of Candied Apple Distress Stain to two of the leaves. Apply two coats of Spiced Marmalade Distress Stain on one of the leaves. Once the stain has dried on all three leaves, rub Walnut Stain Distress Ink along the edges of the leaves using your finger.

Trace the Chipboard Tag onto a piece of patterned paper. Cut the patterned paper tag out. Ink the edges of the chipboard tag and patterned paper tag using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From a second piece of patterned paper, cut a piece that measures 2 3/4" x 3 5/8". Ink the edges of the patterned paper piece using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the same collection, fussy cut the Hooray It's Autumn Time out of the border strip. Cut the words apart. Ink the edges of the words using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Adhere the patterned paper tag to the chipboard tag. Adhere the 2 3/4" patterned paper piece to the patterned paper tag.

Adhere the Fine Clock Face to the middle of the tag. Adhere one of the pumpkin leaves to the top right side of the clock face. Adhere the other pumpkin leaf to the middle left side of the clock. Punch a hole at the top of the tag.

Adhere the Vintage Ivy Feather 1" from the left and 1 1/8" from the bottom of the tag. Adhere the weathered wood leaf to the left side of the Vintage Ivy Feather. Adhere the Chunky Rust wood leaf slightly overtop of the weathered wood leaf and partly overtop of the pumpkin leaf.

Adhere on of the red maple leaves in the top right corner of the tag. Adhere the other red leaf and orange leaf to the bottom left corner of the tag.

The last chipboard piece you need is the Oval Peacock Feather Frame. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to the frame. Sprinkle Enhanced Ivory Pearl Embossing Powder overtop of the frame. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with your heat tool.

On the bottom portion of the leaf/wood paper, tear up a bit of the paper. Adhere a piece of the Cheerio pattern to where the tear is, that way you can see part of it. 

Adhere the 2 1/2" stitched oval to the 3" stitched oval. Adhere the 3" oval to the middle of the leaf paper. Adhere the Oval Peacock Feather Frame overtop of the stitched ovals.
