Wish Scrapbook Layout with Karla Yungwirth

Hello friends! Karla back today with a pretty spring layout using beautiful chipboard pieces from the Dandelion Seed Stems and Butterfly Swirl Combo sets along with the pretty Loop Stencil available at the Southern Ridge Trading Company Shop. These were all so perfect to coordinate with this sweet photo of my daughter blowing dandelion seeds at a park near a local farmers market! I love being able to alter the chipboard – even though it is gorgeous as is! I was easily able to customize it to coordinate with the spring colours I used on this layout.

I used the same technique from my last post where I covered the chipboard pieces with Ranger Distress Crayons, blended them with my finger, and then added a coat of Tattered Angels Chalk Chalkboard Mist that I put into an old waterbrush. I really love the effect this creates on the chipboard, adding colour and then a layer of beautiful shimmer! You can see exactly how I do this in the video linked at the bottom of the post.

I used the pretty 3x3” Loop Stencil, which is also available as a 6x6” or 12x12” size, to create a shimmery background effect behind the dandelion chipboard by spreading Shimmerz glimmer paste through it with a palette knife. I love how iridescent it looks!

You can find the video showing you just how I created this layout, along with the process I used to alter the chipboard, here - https://youtu.be/dd1Hh1nczjU

So In Love Scrapbook Layout with Karla Yungwirth

Hello friends! It’s Karla back today with a scrapbook layout of my youngest daughter and our family. Those baby days went so fast and were so busy that I’m glad I’m finally getting to create some pages of this special time. I’m featuring the Love Chipboard, the XOXO Chipboard and the Heart stencil on this double page layout today, and while I had originally planned to use these on Valentines Day cards or tags, I just love how they worked for these pages. You could also use them for a wedding or anniversary theme!

I decided to emboss the Love Chipboard embellishment with Emerald Creek Magical Mysteries Embossing Powders in Dragon’s Egg and Kiss of the Fairy, creating an ombre effect. This worked great for my title after stamping the ‘So In’ sentiment using a Ranger Letter It stamp set. I really love mixing fonts for titles to create extra interest.  I combined several papers including Cocoa Vanilla Midnight, Maggie Holmes Bloom and some handmade watercolour paper that my oldest daughter, Stephanie, created for me for my birthday!

I used the January sketch from the Scrapbook & Cards Today SCT 2019 365 Online Class. I love using sketches as a way to start my pages! I stamped some cute Hello Bluebird stamps creating a little subtitle under the Polaroid frame and used some Distress Oxide inks to sponge various edges.

Using the Heart Stencil in the 6x6 size I first lightly inked the background using Distress Oxide Inks in pink and orange and then added a Shimmerz texture paste to add glimmer. Some SpiegelMom Scraps and Studio Katia sequins, along with various diecut ephemera embellishments and buttons, added just a bit more bling!

I fussy cut some of the gorgeous flowers from the watercolour paper my daughter gave me and then embellished the XOXO Chipboard with Emerald Creek Magical Mysteries Mermaid Fin and Baked Velvet Dusk, Lim and Aegean Sea Powders. I love how easy it is to customize the chipboard to match whatever project I’m making!

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!
