alphabet stamps – A Stamping Journey

MORE SCRAPPING!!

March 11, 2010March 11, 2010 Jenny Hayward

I have some more scrap pages to show you. These are some other pages I have done at recent workshops (Well, before Christmas!!)

This is a very simple 6″x6″ page.

I have used the spiral punch down the left hand side of the Raspberry Tart DSP. I used the marker to ink up just the love from the ‘Short and Sweet’ set and then inked up the U from ‘Schoolbook Serif’ alphabet. I did stamp the background page with the small flower from ‘Simply Said’, but it is a bit hard to see. A bit of bling on the hearts and some ribbon would add to the page now I look at it again.

This is a Christmas page. I know it is March, but that is how far behind I am!!! This is a 12×12 page with ‘Season of Joy’. What a versatile set that one is. I borrowed it for these workshops but may have to buy one for next Christmas!

It is a bit hard to see. I have used Handsome Hunter, Kraft and Real Red. I like those colours together. I used the markers to highlight the words ‘Merry & Bright’. The ‘joy” word was stamped directly on the Kraft card in Real Red and then I stamped it again on the Handsome Hunter. I punched the ‘o’ out and raised it using the mounting tape. Here is a close-up.

For the tree I cut a triangle from Ski Slope DSP. I used the Word Window punch and cut the end off to form the base. You might not see the star very clearly, but I stamped the swirly image from ‘Trendy Trees’ in creamy caramel on Whisper White and then punched a small star shape out. I added some Dazzling Diamonds with the 2-way glue pen.

There you have it! Maybe a few pages to inspire you! LOL

Happy Stamping!

A BOY PAGE!

June 2, 2009 Jenny Hayward

Two posts in one day! It’s not very often that happens. While we were on the topic of scrapbooking I thought I would show you this page. This is a 6×6 page I have been showing at my workshops lately. I was inspired by a cover on a scrapbooking magazine I read a while ago. Not sure which one now!

I have sponged around the edge of Baja Breeze cardstock in Whisper White ink. I have cut a strip of paper from the SU Urban Garden DSP and adhered this onto a strip of Night of Navy card. I added a mat of Kiwi Kiss and then punched out some stars using the small and large star punch. I raised the small stars with dimensionals. I used the Schoolbook Serif Alphabet stamps inked up in Night of Navy to stamp ‘boys’. When you stamp the word it run up on to the Kiwi Kiss mat and you get a little gap, so I filled it in with my Night of Navy marker. It is a very simple page but I was pleased with how it turned out. It is a quick page to show at a workshop.

A PAGE WITH STYLE – PART 2!

June 2, 2009June 2, 2009 Jenny Hayward

Well, it’s taken me a few days to get back here. Life is busy some times! I have got lots to show you though. Last post I showed you pages I created with a Heritage style and a Classic style. The other 2 styles we looked at in my Scrapbooking 101 class were the Pop style and Shabby Chic. Now, I have a lot to learn about scrapbooking and I have limited supplies, but these might give you some ideas.

First, to the Pop Style. Just ignore the photo won’t you! It was taken at my DH’s 40th birthday party 2 years ago. Yes, it was a 50’s party. The Pop style of scrapbooking is fun and bright, generally following the trend. It consists of simple text and simple words, fun shapes and symbols.

Cardstock: YoYo Yellow, Brilliant Blue, Only Orange.

Inks: Only Orange, Brilliant Blue markers.

Stamps: Simple Serif Mini Alphabet and Numbers.

Other: Large Star Punch, Small star punch, dimensionals

I love how the stars punch out using the small and large punch together.

The next page is showing the Shabby Chic style. This is of my DD taken a few years ago. This is her favourite Dress Up Dress, and she does look gorgeous!!

Shabby Chic style of scrapbooking is typically with torn and distressed papers, lots of embellishments and usually pastel colours. I have sponged around the edge of Real Red card with the white ink pad and then used the white gel pen to create faux stitching. I have torn the edges of the Raspberry Tart paper and the Kiwi Kiss card strip. You can’t see the heart too well, but I have rock and rolled the heart in regal rose and then Rose Red. I have added some Dazzling Diamonds with the 2-way glue pen.
