Scraplings

Once in a Blue Moon challenges at Gingersnap Creations are always really good fun ... maybe because they only happen on a 5th Wednesday in a month and this is not very often (lol). This month is no exception: revisit and choose any prior Art Exchange theme. My choice is paint chip scraplings whose specs are:
Format: Scrapling - 1.5" wide x 4.25" tall, folded (must be complete, no fronts accepted)
Theme: Open
Supply to be Used: paint chips (or something close)
Media: Any but must include some stamping
I cut the scrapling from white slightly textured card. The scrapling is stamped with a Crafty Individual stamp and then layered onto balck card. The finishing touch is a little ribbon knot from my stash.

The longer I looked at the scrapling, the more I thought that it would be nice to try something different and use the paint chip sample underneath ...
The design was inspired by the new Artistic Outpost Christmas stamps. I first stamped the image onto Basic Grey patterned paper and then punched out the little Christmas trees. The panel is mounted onto the paint chip sample with thin foam pads. To finish it off I stamped the bow on patterned Basic Grey paper and cut it out, added some little stars (stamps from Elzybells) which I coloured with gold gel pen. The edges are slightly distressed and then very slightly covered with gold colour too.

Pop Over to Gingersnap Creations to see many more amazing creations and to join us. Happy Blue Moon!

Paint Chip Scraplings

These scraplings are for the Gingersnap Creations 'Paint Chip Scraplings' exchange ... challenging and different.
The size of the scraplings is 3.8cm x 10.8cm for one half ... not so easy to choose a design and the stamps. The paint chips themselves were also a bit tricky ... the name of the colour and the colour code were printed in each of the white separator lines ... I only used the colour strips and not to worry about the characters. This way I was also able to mix and match. These strips were glued onto card ready to be stamped, embellished and eventually layered onto patterned papers or plain card

papers: cosmo cricket, the Background Fairy, black and white textured card, Basic Grey, Splendid Fiins office paper
stamps: Elzybells, Hein Design, Bettys Creations, Little-Z
ink: Brilliance, VersaColor, Ranger Distress ink
Stickles, Glossy Accents

Each scrapling has also an inside in case you would like to leave a little note, Petra.

Scrapling addiction (?)

Having started with making scraplings for the DCM challenge this week I couldn't help myself and made another one. It is such good fun, easy and quick

scrapling - kraft cardstock from Elzybells

paper - plain red card, patterned paper from a Lidl craft pack
buttons - from my stash
ribbon - Andreas
stamps - Studio g, Dulcie Jackson (Quick Cards)
Stickles
colouring - Koh-i-noors
nestabilities - label one
embossing folder - Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots'

I kept the overall colour scheme red and white and added just a bit more for the stamped image which I also paperpieced (stocking, holly). Have a nice and sunny day, Petra.

Scraplings at DCM

This is a great challenge. It was such fun to use a lot of bits and pieces which are often too small to be used for really big cards but which are too big to be thrown away (which I have a problem doing anyway :-) ). I found two scraplings in my stash. They have the shape of a bookmark.




Supplies:
papers - palin red, blue and green card, patterned paper I cannot remember where it came from, Christmas tree paper from Hot of the Press, journalling card from Journal
stamps - free snowman digi stamp from 'DAISIE Company', sentiments from Dulcie Jackson (Quick Cards)
ink - Heine, VersaColour
embellishments - Marieke Vermeulen Design
ribbon - Andreas
brads - BasicGrey
blings - Hero Arts, Kanban, Craftime
circles - Quickutz circle and scalloped circles
button - from my stash
colouring - Koh-i-noors

I left the ribbons long enough so that the cards can be displayed standing or hanging or just used as bookmark or ..... Wish you a good week, Petra.
