Scrappy Sunday: Smiles and Stamps


Welcome to another Scrappy Sunday challenge. This week, we're challenging you to break out the paper and glue and stamps and start creating. So quickly we forget how versatile stamps can be in our layouts!

I stamped the design from Jumbo Cameo Frame on the cardstock in Platinum Brilliance. Such a pretty, subtle background!
 
I masked off the circle and using the Journal Border I stamped the lines in the design. The butterflies are some of my favorite images in the Stampendous Charmed Collection.
 

How about a closeup of the Color Fragments? So much fun to play with! They come in Taupe, Rose, Sage, Powder Blue and Chiffon. I used Chiffon on my title. You can adhere it with your favorite adhesive or even embed them into embossing powders.

For my title, I painted my chipboard letters with yellow acrylic paint. I wanted them to have a base coat just in case I missed any areas with the fragments. Next, I crushed up a bit of the fragments. After giving the letters a thick coat of Elmer's craft glue, I sprinkled on the crushed fragments.

Using the Kreaxion punches (905 and 304) I punched borders to tuck under my photos. The orange border started as a piece of white cardstock. After punching the design I used the same orange watercolor from the flower centers to color the border. Next I wiped Elmers glue over the entire piece with a highly technical tool....my finger. (wink) All that was left to do was sprinkle on some Stampendous crystal glitter and watch it shimmer!

I stamped the king bird image from Stampendous Charm Collection on my photo corner in Archival Ink. The alphabet rubons are an oldie but favorite from Fontwerks. anyone remember them? I loved their stuff! Before rubbing the letters onto the photo, I added colored the rub-on with Copic. When I transferred the rub-on the color was also transferred. The orange dots are another older rubon from SEI.

Wonderful LO. Thanks for the inspiration. I guess I try one myself. Actually I never stamp on my LOs, so I think it is about time. Hope this works out for me. :)

Diana, have you ever done True Scrap?  One of the courses is taught by Nichol Magouirk and she's amazing at stamping on layouts.  Here's one of my favorites:  http://nicholmagouirk.typepad.com/things_that_really_matter/2012/02...

Most of the layout was stamped -- including about 1/2 the background!  It makes me want to spend some serious time in the craft room!

Susanna, no, I never did True Scrap.

That LO is amazing. I can't believe she stamped the background. It looks like regular PP.

I really have to spend more time in my craft room practising...

Ok, here comes my LO. I used the papersectrest sketch. It was the first time directly stamping on a LO for me...

Thanks Susanna for the inspiration. I finally found my mojo again and finished some LOs. ( For the attached one I needed about 1 and a half months...)

Oh I love to stamp on my pages... I know there is another challenge coming up tomorrow but I am going to do this one as well. I dont often (never) create single pages :( I am a double page girl. I like the whole matchy matchy thing. But I love this layout and I am going to do it :D Thank you for pushing me outside my comfort zone :D
