Scraplifting Missy

Leave a comment

Hi all!  It’s Tuesdae here with a Scraplift It!  I am excited to share this with you today because Missy is one of my favorite scrapbookers and I just couldn’t wait to find one of her yummy layouts and scraplift it to inspire you!

Recently, I viewed one of Missy Whiddens Youtube videos for the Hip Kit Club and knew it would be perfect to re-create.  I started with mixed media, of course.  A bit of Shimmerz Paints sprays and some new Cosmic Shimmers I thought would make a good background.   I kept the colors bright and colorful, just like Missys.

I tried to follow her layout as close as possible, but of course had to put a little touch of my aesthetic on the page as well.  I can’t ever seem to not follow the rules!  Basically, I arranged the papers in a grid style and sewed them down to the background.  In hindsight I should have just sewn the edges to each piece and then stuck them down on the page because I wanted to stamp and tuck ephemera under the papers.

I did use a stamp set from Cheeky Studio and some Hero Art Ink and Distress Oxide ink to go around the grid formation.  I used clear gesso on the background so it didn’t stamp perfect, but that’s okay.  Messy is best!  I also pulled some ephemera from my stash, an older set called Love & Adore from Simple Stories to embellish with lots of flowers in clusters around the page.  If you watch me on Youtube you know I LOVE flowers!

I finished with a couple of labels and made my title from Crate Paper Oasis collection.  Sprinkles of Shimmerz Paint in Don’t Rain on my Parade” added the contrast to finalize.  I think it turned out lovely.  I encourage you to find inspiration from others and scraplift, use sketches, find mood boards and participate in challenges.  You just may find a whole new style you like.  CYMERA_20181120_153835

Let’s Focus on Stamps!

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. CYMERA_20181106_162611

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!  You can see the Youtube Scrapbook Process video on the Crafty Maven Getaway Channel  HERE
