Pocket Pages | Elle's Studio All My Heart | Agnus Kasprzak

Hi again :) I've been a busy scrapper documenting the start of the year with a gorgeous assortment of items from the Elle's Studio All My Heart collection. 

I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Elle's Studio products because they have you covered on all bases including paper, cards, stamps, alphas and a range of accents and really like the way their colours and graphics work with a variety of different photos/themes which is perfect for this type of project.  

My monthly title card came together quickly using horizontal strips of patterned paper from the 6x6 paper stack, tags, die-cuts, stickers, a stamp and topped off with an awesome wood veneer!

Because the colours on this collection are mainly all on the cool side, I added some warmth with the wood veneers and a sheet of wood grain paper from another Elle's Studio collection, then used a palette knife to spread some texture paste through a 6x6" stencil to give my background some dimension. 

I kept my design clean and simple this month because I want to focus on adding more stories into our album this year. 

I split all of my 6x4" backgrounds with horizontal strips of patterned paper - I find that combining a solid coloured base with a pattern that has a white base always seems to work well. 

I often look for an element that can be repeated throughout my pockets and added more wood veneer accents to this side of the page to help tie everything in together. 

Making use of the fun stamp set to add a bit of detail to one of the filler cards included in the January kit. 

I filled one of my pockets with a mix of cute wood confetti and a sprinkle of sequins to make a fun shaker card, sealing the top with my fuse tool.

I also create a simple flip pocket to add an extra photo and journaling. I cut out a 3x4" pocket form a 12x12" page protector ensuring that the top of the pocket had an extra inch or so, so that I could fold and secure it to the back of the journal card.

Leave a Little Sparkle Art Journal Page by Farrel Tailor

Hello Fellow Sassy Fans!!! I'm back again to share with you another mixed media art journal page featuring the amazing 13arts Ayeeda Mists.

So to start my page I used a mini harlequin stencil with Ranger Texture Paste and used my heat gun to dry. 

Once the paste was dry I sprayed water to the area I wanted the 13arts Chalk Turquoise mist to go and applied the mist using a small paint brush. I then splattered what was left on my brush onto the page.

Next I splattered Chalk Ultramarine Ayeeda mist onto my page and spritzed enough water to let the colour run a little. Once it was dry I then applied Chalk Indigo using a watered paint brush and applied it around the outside of my coloured area. I also added some splatters.

 

As you can tell this page is all about layering. So the next mist I used was Pearl Turquoise Light which I used to splatter all over. This mist has a little bit of sparkle to it which just makes the colours all pop!!

I then splattered using Dylusions Black Marble and White Linen Sprays and used a heat gun to dry.

Now to add a little bit more texture - I used Art Basics 3D Gloss Gel to adhere my cheesecloth and gave it a quick dry with my heat gun. I then cut out my butterfly print that I got from Pinterest (the link will be over on my blog) and also adhered it using the 3D Gloss Gel.

 

Then to finish off the page I used Vicki Boutin's Mixed Media Stickers Phrases and Accents and used my black Uni Posca pen to draw around the edges of the stickers.

And there you have it, a simple but effective art journal page and I hope I have inspired you to create something this week.

Awesome By Farrel Tailor

Good Morning Sassy Fans!!! Farrel here to share with you all a layout I created using my favourite ink pads ever......Distress Oxides along with some Cocoa Vanilla You Rock products!!!

To start my layout I used Cocoa Vanilla You Rock patterned paper In Line with some white cardstock. I then used some Heavy White Gesso and applied with a silicone brush to add texture.

I used the Kaisercraft Arty Stamp and Versafine to stamp onto the background. It all seemed a little flat so I decided to add some stenciling using Tim Holtz Diamonds stencil with Ranger Texture Paste and felt it was perfect for my photo.

I used Ranger Distress Oxides in Broken China, Fossilized Amber, Wilted Violet and Cracked Pistachio. I used both a wet paint brush and my fingers to apply to the background.

For the Cocoa Vanilla You Rock Veneers, I inked with the Versafine and then stamped Wilted Violet and Faded Jeans Distress Oxides. And to finish it off I added some Vicki Boutin stickers Phrases and Accents.

To Be Creative Art Journal Page by Farrel Tailor

Hello Sassy Scrapper Fans!!! Farrel here to share with you another art journal page I created using Dylusions Paint and Distress Crayons.

Let me show you a few shots of my process but I also have a video at the end of the post so feel free to see my creative process. I have also linked all the products used to the shop.

I started by using covering my art journal page with a music sheet, I bought a book from a swap meet last year and I find it is perfect for backgrounds. I also tore up an old dress pattern I got from my mum and used Prima 3D Gel Gloss to adhere it all down.

I then used a baby wipe to spread my Dylusions Paints - London Blue and Vibrant Turquoise.

I also used Kaisercraft 12x12 Lattice Stencil with White Linen Dylusions Paint.

Once it was dry, I used some builders tape I bought from my local hardware store and used it like a stencil with both Texture Paste and Black Marble Dylusions Paint. I also used Vintage Photo Distress Crayon and a baby wipe to add a vintage feel to the page.

I used my takeaway coffee coffee cup and White Linen paint to stamp onto my page and once it was dry I then used my Distress Crayon Vintage Photo with a small amount of water and using my fingers I rubbed it over my paper for a more aged look.

I used my typewriter for my title and mounted onto black cardstock and adhered to these pieces. I then painted some more old paper with London Blue paint and cut out some hearts. I used Black Soot Distress Crayons and a white paint pen for highlights.

Until next time - Happy Scrappin!!
