Year In Review - Highlight your favorite product from 2022 - Laura

 Good morning!
The DT ladies from The Funkie Junkie Boutique were asked to create  a project using some of our favourite products from the Funkie Junkie!


To begin with I love Stamperia Papers.  The designs are fabulous and they really lend themselves to fussy cutting (something I really enjoy doing)  I used the Our Way paper pack


 I also love to use stencils and mediums and here I used the awesome Tim Holtz burlap stencil with the Tim Holtz Grit Paste - Crypt.  I then  used the Rustic Wilderness ink pad (then spritzed with water) and

  Aged Mahogany Spray Stain.


I inked the chipboard with the rustic wilderness ink pad then applied the rustic wilderness embossing glaze

 


 I colored the flowers with mica stain in orange (from the Halloween release but is sold out) and the mahogany spray stain.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Father & Son - Inspiration Ave!

 Hi!  Laura here.  I am next up on the inspiration train highlighting the Sizzix Chapter 4 release.

I LOVE tags...they are the perfect embellishment to any page or card!  I used the Sizzix Chapter 4 Tim Holtz Thinlits Dies - Framed Tags.

 


 

I started by tearing, distressing and layering the beautiful Stamperia Desire Background papers



I then used the tag dies to cut 5 tags and layer under my photo....tags make the perfect mat and draw the eye to the photo

 

Here are a few more details;

Saturday Showcase - Stamperia's Romantic Garden House


Good morning! Laura here, back to share a tutorial for a layout I created using MANY items from the Funkie Junkie Boutique: Stamperia's Romantic Garden House collection, I hope it inspires you to create!


To begin, gather all your supplies. You will need 4 coordinatng papers, mist, stencil, clear gesso, flowers, a title, mica powder, cardboard and texture paste


Cover your top paper with clear gesso, then do some tearing in random areas. Then do some tearing in random areas.  I used the beautiful Romantic Garden House papers from Stamperia. Keep a piece of the torn paper so you can tuck it in in later steps. Also fussy cut some leaves from one of the papers.


Distress the edges.


Use a stencil (I used the Tim Holtz Dot Fade Stencil THS006) to apply Grit Paste. Heat set or allow to air dry.


Add Prima Mica Powder to the stenciled areas, then spritz with water.


Heat set the colored areas.


If you do not have cardboard that is already showing the corrugated inside then tear a cover off.


Tear the cardboard making sure there are no straight edges.


Dry brush the cardboard with white paint or white gesso then set aside


Take a set of 3 of the Wild Orchid small flowers and straighten the stems.


Twist the stems onto the stem of the next flower to create a chain of flowers.



Spray some flowers to match your project. I used the mica spray I made in an earlier post and Tim Holtz Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Spray. Heat set or allow to dry. Ink or pant your chipboard title piece (I forgot to take a photo of that step).


Cut two pieces of paper: one at 2.5" x 11", and one at 2" x 11".


Distress the edges of all your papers, then layer your top sheet onto your background paper and tuck the ripped paper from earlier in.


Add the cardboard you distressed earlier.


Layer the two smaller pieces of paper you cut on top of the distressed cardboard.


Add your title and other elements.

Here are some detail shots:
