Cheeky Studio – The Crafty Maven Getaway

Our focus at the Crafty Maven Getaways this month is stamps!

Tuesdae here for the design team! I thought I would pull out stamps from Cheeky Studio and Heidi Swapp and used black Archival Ink to stamp on Close to my Heart smooth 12×12 white cardstock. It stamped beautifully. I thought if I stamped solid black images and outlined images that would yield a good balance on my layout and allow me to add color to the outlined images so I could control colors.

Previous to stamping I did prepare another 12×12 white cardstock with gesso and allowed it to dry. I wanted to get messy with some Shimmerz Paints! Once dry, I used the packaging technique to apply 3 colors of Vibez in Princess, Pop Art Pink and Glorious Day. I did not use those colors for the painting of the stamped images. For that I used Artist Loft watercolors. I like the mix of shimmery ink and chalky watercolor to add depth of color.

I trimmed down the background cardstock and gutted a piece of 12×12 Cheeky Studio Autumn Beauty #8 paper and used it behind the white cardstock to create a frame. I also grabbed some scrap papers from my scrap bin and backed my two photos, then, proceeded to add my stamped images in three clusters around the photos and paint on them as I stuck them down.

I finished up with a label from Cheeky Studio’s November kit exclusive cut aparts from the Autumn Beauty collection and some cork embellishments and ephemera from that same kit. A few splashes on additional paint around the page tied everything together to look cohesive. I think the final layout turned out beautiful!

Aloha!!

It’s Hannah here and I wanted to stop in and say hello!! I want to thank you all for following The Crafty Maven Getaway!! We love inspiring you and creating content that helps you want to create, craft and share what you are working on.

This year you are going to see a few new changes especially as the year goes on. I hope you are as excited as we are about these changes.

Change 1, we are switching to only have a monthly Inspiration Piece. As much as I love making these pieces, or sharing ones the team has made. It really makes more sense to have one a month. This will give you more changes to see the team use a piece in many different ways.

Change 2, We are adding more tutorial and organizing type videos to the channel. We would love to do product reviews, and other videos that can help you in your crafting. If you have ideas or things you would love to see us talk about in the videos add it to the comments or in our FaceBook group.

Change 3, We are bringing back For The Love Of Homemade Kits!!!! I hope you are excited for this one. Khristina is going to be making her own kit from the inspiration piece and using it all month and sharing videos on Sundays. Many of the other team members will be joining in with the homemade kits too. I really hope you play along with us and share your kits and layouts with the hashtag #ForTheLoveOf HomemadeKits or share it in our Facebook Group!!

Change 4, You are going to see more of me. I am planning on doing a weekly FB Live or YT live video. I really want to encourage you all to create the things you love and love what you are creating. This month I am working out the best days to share with you all. But I promise you will see plenty of me. I will also be bringing on some of the group with me to talk about scrapbooking topics in the facebook group.

Change 5, something you may have noticed already, the design team will be sharing their layouts and videos on the blog as well. I want you to really get to know them. They work so hard to share with you. This blog is a great place to start to build that relationship. Help encourage them by leaving them lots of love and comments on either their youtube posts or their blog posts.

Change 6, We will be having 2 online crops next year. I am also hoping to do a few more youtube hops throughout the year for your viewing pleasure.

Change 7, this year I am working on highlighting scrapbooking companies that we enjoy and want to share with you. I am hoping to get product in my teams hands to help inspire you. Last year we highlighted Cheeky Studio by my lovely friend Tuesdae who is a veteran Youtube Scrapbooker and such an inspiration. I would love to highlight more scrapbookers who have worked hard to follow their dreams. So look forward to seeing some cool things from us, and maybe even some giveaways.

As we start another scrappy new year I really look forward to getting to know you and giving you inspiration that you want to see. That is my highest priority. I can’t wait to bring you some great stuff this year!!

I look forward to more chit chats and more inspiration!! Until next time stay inspired!!
