Some more Cashmere Dame 'love'

Hi Everyone,

Trudi here again today with some more Glitz Design Cashmere Dame inspiration for you.

Now I do have to confess to loving me some colour.  There is just something about bright, happy colours that just make me smile.
I had so much fun putting this one together -

Layout ' 'Love' by Trudi Harrison

Sassy Scrappers Materials:

Glitz Design Cashmere Dame – Honeycomb, Chevron, Floral, Banner, Gathered Crepe, Giant Rhinestones, Paper Garland; Prima – Rosarian Perles, Interlude Felt Red Roses, Pink Paislee Artisian Butterflies, Heidi Swapp Colour Shine Spritz – Mustard, Bo Bunny Rhinestones, Twiddleybitz  FRA018 Frame Circle Doyle, Kaisercraft Black Cardstock

Other: 

Ribbon, Balloon, Rosette and Flourish Die, WRMK Punch,Texture Paste, Glimmer Mist – Turquoise Blue and Chalkboard Black 

To make the colour 'pop', I added black cardstock.

The Glitz Gathered Crepe adds fun and texture – here I have attached it to the back of a large cut circle element to create a ruffled border effect.

Glitz Paper Garlands were added behind the photo to add detail along with die cut cardstock and chipboard elements.

Thanks so much for dropping by the Sassy Scrappers blog today.  

I have had a total blast creating with this fabulous collection and thank Olga once again for allowing me the opportunity of Guest Designing for Sassy Scrappers.

I hope to have inspired you to 'glitz' your next creation.

Happy Creating,

Trudi

6 Quick Easy Cards

Hi there

Natalie here again and today I have 6 quick Christmas Cards to show you using the Turtle Dove Range from Kaiser.

These cards are all 5x5 inches and based on Kraft cardstock.

The cards are SUPER simple - just what you want when you need to make quite a few!
I used a lot of the scraps left over from my last layout and the Collectable pack too!

I hope they have given you some inspiration to create some Christmas Cards.

Have a great day and head over to the shop and check out the NEW & EXCITING stock that has just come in!

November Guest Designer - Trudi Harrison

Hi Everyone,

I am thrilled to be joining the Sassy Scrappers team this month - thanks so much to Olga for having me.

First, let me introduce myself to you...

 I am Trudi Harrison from Victoria, Australia.

I don’t really have a nick name, though my friends will often refer to me as ‘T’.

I am a country girl at heart who very much likes her modern conveniences.

I prefer coffee in a large mug compared to tea in a china cup.

My favorite type of food is the one prepared by someone else – it always tastes better, well I think anyway

I would much prefer to laugh, smile and be happy. 

When I am not crafting, my world is kept busy with my 2 young girls and the extra curricular activities that comes with raising kids LOL.  I would not have it any other way.

 I adore all things creative and over the time there have been many hobbies which I have enjoyed. Without a doubt, though, Paper Crafting has become the one which I am truly passionate about.  It has steadily burned brightly for over 7 years now.

I think I have done some form of ‘Crafting’ my whole life.  My late Nan was a dress maker and as I was the only grand daughter, spent a considerable amount of time passing along her love of haberdashery.  From a young age she taught me how to sew, make clothes, knit and crochet – though crochet squares are pretty much all I can manage in this department.  

More often than not most of my inspiration will come from the product or the photos I am working with and of course, the little things that my children say and do. I am mum to two gorgeous girls - yes perhaps I am a little biased.  Many of my creations will feature them, who are aged 5 and 8 now.

My preferred scrapping genre is 12 x 12 layouts and creating off the page, but will find much joy altering items and creating cards.

 I am perhaps not 'locked' into a specific scrapping style.  Consistent characteristics of my 'style' are lots of layering, paper cutting, detail and dimension.  Sometimes it can be quite 'feminine' and I do like some structure to my designs.

 I confess to loving color but will also find enjoyment in the softer tones.   

I absolutely adore chipboard, floral patterns and blooms.  I love to combine these with my other love of patterned paper and many of my creations will feature these.  This is perhaps when I am at my happiest, combining these ‘loves’ along with lots of paper cutting, layers and dimension. 

Today I have a project to share created with the Glitz Design Cashmere Dame.  This gorgeous collection is available in store HERE.

Layout - 'Together' by Trudi Harrison

Sassy Scrappers Materials: 

Glitz Cashmere Dame – Honeycomb, Chevron Floral, Puffy Word Stickers, Giant Rhinestones, Whatnots; Pink Paislee Artisian Butterflies, Heidi Swapp Black & White Buzz Words & Colour Shine Spritz- Mustard Twiddleybitz FRA013 Ornate Frame, Prima – Rosarian Perles, Bel Canto Yellow & Interlude Red Felt Roses, Manor House Flowers - Enchanted, Black Ink  

I started with the 'Honeycomb' patterned paper for my base -

And layered coordinating paper strips and 'whatnots' with pretty blooms and Twiddleybitz chipboard.

Heidi Swapp Mustard Colour Shine Spritz was used to alter the large Enchanted Manor House flower.

 The flower was also separated with the larger part positioned toward the top of the layout with the centre finishing off the bottom floral cluster.  The Twiddleybitz Ornate Frame was cut in half and for contrast, inked black.

The Cashmere Dame collection is a fabulous infusion of happy colour. The honeycomb, chevron and retro elements will add funk and edge to any creation.

Thanks so much for dropping by the Sassy Scrappers blog today, I will be back with more Cashmere Dame inspiration a bit later.

Kaisercraft Periwinkle Layout & Card

Hi everyone! It's Sam Hauzer here, popping in to share a layout and card that I've created using the gorgeous Kaisercraft Periwinkle collection, which you can find in the Sassy Scrapper shop HERE.

“Love” 

Products Used – Periwinkle Paper Collection- P937 Whisper, P938 Dawn, P940 Shimmer, R702 Ribbon Roses Large Cream, FL319 Flourish Packs Love and Cherish, SB721 Border, F629 Paper Blooms Buttercream, EM927 Lace Pack Cream.

This range is just beautiful to work with, and suits scrapbooking with black and white photos perfectly. The wooden flourishes look great just as they are with this collection, and all I’ve done is ink them slightly around the edges to make them really stand out.

 ’Live Every Moment’ Card

Products Used – Periwinkle; Hint P941, CT725 Collectables, PL516 Pearl Flourishes, R707 Ribbon Roses Peach, R709 Ribbon Roses Mint, PL501 Pearl Strips White, EM927 Lace Pack Cream.

I love that the Periwinkle range is so versatile, and it can be used for just about anything. The ribbon roses are great to use too, something a bit different from the usual flowers I would use, and they add a really nice touch too.

Have a great week!

Hello everyone Heather here again .

Delightful soft pinks and white .

'REMEMBER THIS'

This photo is very special to me as it was the very first shot I took with my BRAND NEW FIRST SLR camera back when Ella was 3 . I remember being quite nervous and excited when I pressed the button …
 a fabulous memory to scrap x

I have also created with some of the delish brads and embellies from the LOST AND FOUND /MME collection.

There are 30 brads to select from . .. 6 pearl brads, 12 Epoxy brads, 7 Rhinestone brads and 5 paper element brads. So much fun to create with . 

I decided to create a mono chromatic themed layout , incorporating diecuts,  a large GREEN TARA bloom, Imaginarium designs Chipboard title, lace and texture paste .

I included my signature stitching, distressing, inks  and gesso .

I hope I have inspired you to have a play with the BRADS AND THE MME  PAPER COLLECTION .

This is my last post and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here as GUEST DESIGNER for SASSY SCRAPPER .

I have had such fun with these papers AND embellies.

A special thank you to Olga for all the wonderful goodies, and for inviting me to Guest design here .
