Say hello to Dad!

Hello again Sassy Friends!

TGIF, oh yeah! The sun is shining and I am certainly full of the joys of spring. 

A warm welcome to our new followers! 
We hope you will find something to inspire and delight along the way.

It's a big day for all the Dad's out there on Sunday. I've had loads of fun creating some goodies for my hubby from me, the kids using Carta Bella's 'Hello Again' collection.

To start off, I've made a sweet treat card for the chocoholic in my life. I saw something like it on Pinterest recently, and thought it would be the perfect card for him!!

Now I don't have specific sizes planned out, but I've taken a few pics as I went
 to give you an idea of how to put it together

1. Depending on the size of the chocolate slab, take a sheet of 12x12 paper and, starting at the corner of the paper, start wrapping around the edge of the box. 
(I've used a bone scorer for a crisp edge.)

2. Trim off the excess at the top and adhere the little flap. 

3. Again, using the scorer, make 2 more folds near the far edge of the box

4. You could continue to wrap the rest of the card stock around the remainder of the box, 
or if you want to create a flap to open, keep the rest of your paper 
and trim a thin section to cover the top of the box. Adhere.

5. Wrap the 'flap' over to 'close' the card.

Here's a side view so you can see how it works.
I've used a embossing powder with mist for a resist effect on the front, along with some super cute mini tag stickers. The black sticker works to keep the front on the card closed.
The inside of the card reveals a little mini quiz and the "Power of the Remote" for the day!

Next up, is a little mini album...
It's a very simple concept, where the top cover folds into the flap. 
(I haven't done any step by steps for the this one, but if you want to know more, 
please pop us an email and I can put something down for you!)
I've added a few 4x6 photo sleeves, but it's not a necessity.

If you're going to have a go at some Father's Day (or any!) crafting, tag us in your pics - we love to see what you create! Instagram #sassyscrappers or pop in to our Facebook page!

And if you can steal away some time (while the sport takes over the telly, lol) 
why not have a go at our cool sketch challenge which closes at midnight Saturday.

Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend!

The Story of Today

Hello Sassy Friends...

Hope you have all had a fantastic weekend.
Drama on the high seas has seen me 'in absentia' for a few days, 
but I'm back and rearing to go!

Carta Bella 'Hello Again' is still on the menu and looking fab 
next to my little mouse in these eye-watering glasses!
I've gone with a storybook theme after being inspired by the sweet October Afternoon tin pin. Busy pics and paper lend themselves well to simple arrangements. I've only used a couple of embellishments, yet the page has lots of action. 
Enamel dots are so much fun and add such a slick finish.
I'm quite in love with my little storybook-style journalling. I searched for a blank book image, dropped it into a word processing programme and added my text. I then printed it off (twice) onto card stock and layered the one on top of the other, raising the pages with foam dots. To finish off, I've then 'spilled' lots of Heidi Swapp alphas onto the page.
Hope you have enjoyed today's post. I'll be seeing you again on Friday. 
Have a fantastic week!

Here I am...

Hello lovely Sassy friends!
For reasons unexplained, I have had a Bryan Adams song in my head for ages! 
I was listening to it a while ago and the words just stuck in my head. 
I figured they could make a great title, and I've used them today, in this sort of self-reflective layout using the gorgeous Carta Bella's 'Hello Again' and our wonderful August sketch.
 These graphic hearts on the 'Small Floral' page were just crying out to be fussy cut! 
I've applied some Ranger Distress Crackle Paint on a couple, for added depth and interest.
Mixing my title up with some thickers, Silhouette die cuts and homemade snippets.
On the base layer, I have used a simple resist technique 
using embossing powders and Color Shine. 
HOW TO:

1. Lay your template over the paper and using a dauber, 
apply Versamark or similar embossing ink

2. Once you are happy with the area, cover with embossing powder of your choice. 
(Note: If you wish to keep the original colour or pattern, use clear powder.)

3. Apply heat

4. Spritz with a mist of your choice

5. Wipe off excess mist with paper towel or tissue

You can also use this technique with stamps to create great effects!
This is the August sketch. Hopefully you will be able to join us!


And if you also want to have Bryan with you for the weekend, this is the song! lol



Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
Till next time!
