Festive Mini Album with Karla Yungwirth

Hello friends and Happy New Year! Karla back today with a cute and festive mini album using the Itty Bitty Snowflakes, Snowflakes 713, Soda Fizz Stencil and adorable Mini Album from the Southern Ridge Trading Company Shop. December always seems to pass so quickly, and I never really get everything done that I want to do, so I decided to take some time to make this sweet tiny mini album with the December Scrapbook & Cards Today Sampler pack, which included these fun Doodlebug Designs Christmas papers, stickers and ephemera and embellish it with the SR chipboard and stencil products.

I started off by tracing each tiny chipboard page (2.5”square) onto the desired patterned paper, which I then cut out and inked around the edges. I used a Crop-A-Dile punch to cut the holes from the paper and then glued each onto the chipboard.

I recently won some beautiful Viva Decor Inka Gold paints from the 12 Days Of Giving contest by Creative Scrapbooker Magazine, and these were the perfect paints to coat the snowflakes! I just dabbed the sponge lightly into the paint and rubbed it on the chipboard. It dried quickly and gives a beautiful sheen.

I again used the Silver paint with the Southern Ridge Soda Fizz stencil on a couple pages for a snowy effect. This is one of my most used stencils!!

After all my pages were prepared I went ahead and embellished each one. You could easily make extra pages and tuck in some photos from your Christmas! I absolutely love the tiny Itty Bitty Snowflakes!! They are just perfect to quickly dress up any cards, scrapbook pages or tags. I even added some sequins to them for extra shine. This cute dimensional gingerbread sticker was perfect for the cover of the album.  I connected the pages with some hemp twine and blue ribbon from my stash and then made a little tassel to hang on the side. I added another little snowflake directly to the tassel.

Here’s a look at each of the inside pages:

The paper on the back of the album was so cute I decided to leave it the way it was.

I had so much fun making this album!! I’ll definitely be putting this keepsake with my Christmas decorations – it might even hang on my tree next year!

This is the Good Stuff Scrapbook Layout with Karla Yungwirth

Hello friends! Karla here today with a pretty Fall layout using the Fall Leaves Chipboard, Abstract Frame Set and Fence Stencil (size Medium) from the Southern Ridge Trading Company Shop. My favourite season is fall so I couldn’t wait to jump into this pretty scrapbook page. I decided to go with a bit of a non-traditional colour scheme though, focusing on the teals and brown colours with a bit of mahogany red thrown in.

I love customizing the beautiful chipboard available in the SRTC Shop and this month I wanted to try Distress Oxide Inks. By simply sponging them on I was able to add beautiful soft layer of colours that blend wonderfully and matches my papers and photos. I think everything needs a bit of sparkle, so I added some glittery letters and shiny sequins.

 I added a Project Life Card to record my journaling and followed the SCT 365 – 2019 Layout Class Sketch as a starting point to layer on my papers and embellishments. A grid stamp and some Distress Oxide Ink splatters add even more interest over the background and on the leaves.

You can find the process video where I’m sharing how to put this layout together HERE.

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!

Love You Card with Karla Yungwirth

Hello friends! It’s Karla back today with a sweet Valentine Card with matching envelope using the Southern Ridge Trading Company 6x6 Heart Stencil and the Heart O Graph Doily Chipboard. I can see myself using this heart stencil for so many different projects! 

I coated the top of the Heart O Graph Doily with Emerald Creek Magical Mysteries Kiss Of The Fairy Embossing Powder to give a beautiful pink shine. The ombré pink heart background on the script patterned paper was created using the Heart Stencil and Distress Oxide Inks. Cocoa Vanilla papers and embellishments coordinated nicely!

I stamped sentiments on the front and inside using the Ranger Letter It ‘Loves’ stamp set and decorated a kraft envelope by stencilling the pretty hearts again. I added a few more SpiegelMom Scraps and Studio Katia sequins inside and this card is ready to give to someone special!

You can see just how I created this card in this process video here.
