6"x8" Page and Pocket using Prima Desert Collection

-

How beautiful is this Prima Golden Desert collection? (or Dessert as I so called it not realizing my spelling, and thanks to my wonderful friend for picking that minor error up hehehe).


You can find this stunning collection at Scrap of Your Life.

I was given the challenge to make a 12x12 scrap layout with a matching pocket page. As I love a challenge, and new to scrapbooking, I thought why not, then realized I didn't have the pocket page to match in my collection, so I improvised and came up with a smaller version, a 6"x8" page and matching pocket, of which I used the Simple Stories SN@P - Pocket Pages for 6" x 8" Binders - Size 3" x 4" & 4" x 6", and I love it!


I firstly created the the 6"x8" page using cardstock, and paper from the collection. I created a smaller page for the top of my front page and turned it into a flip page. I then decorated it by stamping skulls and star images using archival ink in orange blossom and black. Over the top, I used a number stencil with nuvo mousse in fresh copper, and then added the flowers. The back page I created using magicals in calm back beige and karins coral, and the numbers stencil again.

Once that was dried, I added the elements from the collection, fussy cutting some, using stickers and die cuts on the pages, choosing various images and sayings a I created it.

For the pocket pages, I used the card elements from the back of one of the 12x12 sheets and cut these out. I then added stickers and die cuts to these.

Lastly adding ribbon to the back page and stars and moon elements and the puffy word magical.






I had a lot of fun with this collection and plan on making some more pages to finish an album!

You can find all the products I used from Scrap of Your Life and if you can't find what you need, message Julie and she will source it in!

Happy Crafting

Welcome to Mishka's Crafty Creations

Hello, welcome to Mishka's Crafty Creations Blog, where I hope to be able to inspire you with my creations so you can come along with me on my journey! I am super excited to be part of  Scrap Of Your Life  Design Team, a very first for me, so I am a little nervous, however I am looking forward to the next 6 months and the exciting projects and inspiration I can bring to you. A little about me.....I have been crafting since I was around 18 years old (a long time ago) or thereabouts, and not always with paper crafts. I actually started cross-stitching, which then lead me into making teddy bears with embroidery on them. From here I moved into paper crafts, being introduced to Crafty Kids at the time and absolutely loved what they offered. I then met some wonderful, creative people along the way attending various craft workshops and enjoyed being with like minded people and creating to our hearts content. I have developed some wonderful friendships along the way, and created many ...

Tag Cards using Heidi Swapp Old School

These cute tag cards were made using the Studio Light Accordian Tag die, so easy to do as it cuts ready made into the accordion without having to score and stick the tag together. The inside dies also make it perfect to add extra layers which I have done for some of my tag cards. The entire tag cards are made using Heidi Swapp Old School collection, making waves and art district 12x12 paper, stickers and tags, as well a combination of Docrafts  gems and embellishments, paper doily, docrafts denim heart, reedcraft rubons, tiny clips and some ribbon. The base of the cards were cut out in white cardstock, then I used a combination of spearmint and purple palasides cardstock and the 12x12 heidi swapp paper to do the layers. I cut out all the sayings on the Heidi Swapp Urban Stories 12x12, and used a combination of these, with the stickers and tags throughout the cards.  These can now be easily added to other projects or given as a card to someone special to add in their own mini p...

Summer House Frame

Summer isn't too far away, so I decided to make a cute little Summer house using Crate Paper Wonder Wood Veneer Frame and created a Summer Vibe House.  What does Summer mean to you? I remember growing up I used to wait for the IceCream truck, and run out to get an icecream....so my Summer House has a quote Ï scream, you scream we all scream for icecream?, who remembers that as a child? I painted the frame black using Dylusions Paint. Once it was dry, I used a piece of A4 white cardstock and traced around the outside and inside of the frame. The inside was done so it makes it easier to work with, rather than have the frame sitting on top of the cardstock. Using a collection of different papers, Mintay Paradise, Pink Studio Joyful Day and Pretty Little Studios Tags Dream Big collection, I fussy cut images. I stuck these on with double sided tape. The happy tag and I scream you scream was sponged around the edges with archival ink in  chrome yellow. I used a colourblast sun ...
