Under The Sea Layout with Reverse Stenciling and Dylusions with Karla Yungwirth

Hello friends! Karla here today with a fun summer layout using the fabulous Southern Ridge Mermaid Mix Chipboard Set and the Fish Net Stencil. These were perfect to pair with my beachy pics from a recent camping trip to Little Bow Provincial Park in Alberta! Be sure to watch the video linked at the bottom of the post to see exactly how I put it together with the help of my lovely assistant, my 12 year old daughter Amie!

I used the negative image of the stencil by spritzing Dylusions Ink on my craft mat, dipping the stencil in, and then laying it on my background and diecut circle. This stencil is so cool! I kept the layout title simple by covering it with a layer of Tattered Angels Chalk Mist for a translucent glimmer.

There are 18 awesome images in the Mermaid Mix chipboard set – and they are cut so fine and detailed! We decided to paint the silhouettes with Dylusions paints, which are bright and fun – matching the summer vibe and those colourful towels and beach floaties.

We added some more colour with ink splatters and painted more fish, shells and the wonderful seahorse.

Winter Scrapbook Layout with Laura Gilhuly

Good morning!

Life has gotten a little slower here and I feel like I can start to create again!

Today I am sharing a wintry fun layout I did for Southern Ridge Trading Company

I started by trimming then layering my papers then die cutting many circle using the stitched circles die from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  I inked all the outside edges of my papers using the lawn fawn white ink.

To enhance the snow already on the patterned paper I used the Soda Fizz stencil and the white ink.

For the wonderful Snow Flourishes I inked them white, applied clear embossing powder, then while the embossing powder was still sticky I added some Elizabeth Craft Designs Cool Diamond Silk Microfine glitter to add some more shine!

Beautiful Chipboard Album with Monica Edwards

Hi everyone Monica here with my first crafty post for Southern Ridge Trading Company.  I am sharing the Dingbat Chipboard mini album using Fabrika Decoru patterned paper.

Adhere the patterned paper to your mini and using a kraft knife cut the paper to the shape of the mini album.  Once done to embellish the front of the mini I created some simple foamiran flowers.  I took a flower die and diecut a total of 9 flowers.  You will layer 3 flowers per bloom.  To colour my foamiran I used soft oil pastels which in my opinion makes a difference.  The softer pastels colour the foamiran very smooth and the normal ones you tend to have to press harder to get the colour to stick.

 Once done simply glue them together using some flroal adhesive and give them a slight twist to give your flower some shape.  Depending on the thickness of the foamiran you wont want to twist to hard or you can rip the foamiran.

Next I took some Brillance ink in Graphite and coloured my chippie Leaf Sprigs to coordinate with my colour scheme. 

 A perfect gift idea for friend, loved one or hmmm... just keep it for yourself!!

I hope everyone enjoyed my post and be sure to join our Facebook Group we would love to see your creations:

Sweet Ballerina Mini Layout with Erin Quiding-Sampson

Hello today I’m sharing a card that could also be used as a mini layout. It would look great on the wall, in a frame or sitting on a mini easel as shown in the photos.

To create this card, I used one chipboard ballerina from Lil Ballerinas and the word Sweet from Word Mix 2. I prepped them with a thin coat of Gesso.

While those were drying, I cut the card pieces out of 110lb card stock and some co-ordinating papers from Lawn Fawn.

The sizes are as follows:

Pink - 5 by 5 inch

White - 4 ½ by 4 ½

Decorative paper - 4 ¼ by 4 ¼

Pink - 4 by 4

White - 3 ½ by 3 ½

I also used my silhouette machine to cut out the word Ballerina with the decorative paper x2 so that I could stack them and add some dimension and sturdiness to the letters.

I painted the word Sweet and the Ballerina with a mix of 1 part white and 2 parts pink. I then used the same paint mix to colour some flower petals to create a tutu for the lil ballerina.

I allowed the pieces to dry, then cut the flower petal to fit around the waist and stacked the pieces to create a puffy tutu.

I stacked the first 3 layers centered, then the next 2 on an angle.

I glued down the Ballerina and the words’ Sweet Ballerina.

To finish it all off I added some iridescent glitter glue to the ballerina’s waist, star, tiara, slippers and both words.

I plan to add a photo of the recipient before the card is gifted.
