HI!

 Let’s scrap together again! This week, I’m showing you how to make a lovely  photo holder from a simple wood frame!

So, you start with a wood frame like this one…

Then you paint it with Gesso, using a baby towel, it dries very fast!

You stamp the glass of the photo holder, with white stazon ( or any other color that you like!)… I’ve stamped the lots of hearts stamp four times.

You also stamp the frame. I’ve chosen to stamp the wonderful new swirl  stamp  in cactus green and fuchsia pink stazon…

I’ve then sprayed some glimmer mist all other the frame … but you can also use distress ink.

Now all you have to do is to glue your picture and add some embellishments.

Wanna see the result??!

Here it is!

 This photo holder will be wonderful on my desk at work!

Wish you a very nice week! See you soon! Hugs,

Emma.

Hi!

Have you seen the lovely new stamps??! I’m in love with them!

This week, I’ve made a card with the baptism baby. The card is made from white cardstock and glimmer mists. The masks are made with basic wood embellishments, and the fanions with masking tape! The sweet little baby is coloured with promarkers, I’ve stamped the head two times, cut it, and then glued the second one with mounted tape.

 With the card, I’ve added a little tag, to go with the gift for the baby! Same principle, first I’ve stamped the leafy swirls, and embossed it with the heat gun, added some wood masks, then I’ve sprayed some glimmer mist, and here’s my own background.

Let’s scrap! See you next week! Hugs!

Hello again!

This week I’m showing how to alterate a chalk board! So you gotta have GESSO or white acrylic paint, and paint the borders.

Then stamp it before it has the time to dry, be very careful to wash your stamps with water as soon as you’ve done it.

Then add some liquid paint or glimmer mists.

Then add some stamp on the corner, and then add papers and embellishments as on a paper! You can use it as a canva or as a doorhanger! Like it? Hope so!

See you next week!

Hello dear Tingtura’s addicts!

This week I’ m going to show you how to make lovely Tingtura stamps to use as embellishments on pages or cards.

So first of all, you have to make squares on bazzil paper with masking tape or post-it paper. Then you have to ink it with distress ink and cut’n dry.

 Then you take the first stamp and ink it with  a clear color.

 Then take another stamp and ink it with a darker ink.

 You can now remove  the masking tape, or add others stamps if you want such as words.

So to finish, you just have to cut the stamps with special scissors. And see the result!

Isn’t it lovely?!

 Those stamps make wonderful  handmade embellishments!

 I have made a scrapbook page using one…

Great isn’t it?! See you next week for more inspiration!

Emma.

PS: The stamps technique was inspired by a friend of mine :http://lescrapdekatia.canalblog.com/.

 Time is running so fast! Already wednesday!

This week, I’ m here with a card.

Sometime you just want to send a card to someone it’s been a longt time you’ve not seen, for no particular reason… seing the girl waving stamp inspired me the title ‘HI!’

Pefect! That was it : a ‘ just to say HI ‘ card!

The girl is colored with promarkers , for the skin I used ivory color as a basis, then dusty pink around the face and  a slight touch of cinnamon for the shades of the hair. For the dress  I used two shades of yellow canary and gold with touches of bright orange, red and ruby. And finally for the hair: warm grey 5 and 3.

 Have a very nice week!

Emma.

Hello again!

As I said last week, this wednesday I brought you an urban page using the flying stars stamps. The stars stamps are just perfect to put on any scrapbook page, colored with promarkers, it can goes along with any paper.

I colored them with promarkers,added some Glossy accent  and sticked it with lamella adhesive to give it a 3-dimensional aspect.

I also stamped the star swirl long stamp under the title. Using  a Promarker as an ink to stamp it!

And to finish with this week, I also have another card made with the sketch I gave you last week! With the girl with gift stamp this time!

See you next week! have a very nice end of week!

Hi! As always, I’m very happy to be with you on ‘our’ wednesday! With a scrapbook page and a card this week.

First of all, the page…about my little princess of course! using Bubble Wrap circle and Splatter stamps to enhance the circle made with the butterflies, I stamped it with white ink to keep this smooth aspect.

And then the card.. with another princess! Here’s my sketch, I’ll be very happy to see what you  do with it, just let a link to your blog, and I’ll visit it!

 The Maja’s friends stamps are so cute!  The princess with frog prince  is so sweet! I used to color my stamps with watercolor pencils, but this time I wanted to try alcohol markers.

So see you next week with an urban page using Flying stars stamps!Hugs!

Emma.

Hi!

This week, I’ve got a scrapbook page to show you! A girlie purple-pink page about my daugther…

The background is made with the bubble wrap circle stamp,stamped all around the picture. The papers are stamped with the splatter stamp.

On the corner I’ve stamped the grunge edge stamp and added some stickers on it, so to make dripping stars!

A little close up…

And the dripping stars…I love this stamp!

See you next week for more inspiration!

I’m really happy to be back with you this week! Hope you’ll be inspired!

This week, I made two cards for my challenge blog. We asked people to make cards for children in hospitals, to offer them a little gift. Making cards for children is really motivating! As I really love colors, it was real fun doing those cards!

 For the first card, I used the girl with gift stamp from the Maja’s friends full set, colored it with Marvy markers and used my brand new Cuttlebug ( Valentine’s gift! yep!) to make the title ( by the way, ‘Coucou’ means ‘hi’ in french!)

I also used my Cuttlebug to make the second card, this time with the girl with flowers stamp. I have to admit that I’m completly crazy about those little characters that are Maja’s friends. Really got to use them on each card I make! I guess I’m not the only one, am I…?!

As I was quite inpired this week, I also have to show you a scrapbook page!

 The heart full of grunge had to be on my page, as I’m fond of it! I colored it with key lime pie Glimmer mist. I stamped the flowers with the same stamp, and with the grunge texture rectangle.This stamp was used to stamp the pink paper too. The spots on the right side are made with the splatter stamp, stamped many times.

Well… that’s all for this week! Can’t wait to be back next week! Have fun!

Emma!

Idag vill vi välkomna den tredje av våra gästdesigners i bloggen. Det är en fransyska som älskar Tingturas stämplar och som kommer att inspirera oss på onsdagar framöver i bloggen. Hon kommer att skriva på engelska och om det är någon som tycker att det är svårt att förstå så har tex Google ett väldigt bra översättningsverktyg som man kan använda för att översätta hela sidor om man vill.

Här följer hennes presentation.

Who I am: My name is Emma Andrieux, Scrapemma on blogs and forums. I’m a French woman of 29 years old , mother of a lovely baby girl of 2 months. I work as a primary school teacher with chidren aged 9-10. I started scrapbooking 3 years ago, and since then there’s nearly no day without thinking or speaking about scrapbooking.

How long have I been using stamps: I started using stamps when I discovered Scrapbooking 3 years ago. There are  just so many different ways to use stamps, I cannot make a page or a card without stamps.

What I like most about creating:  What I really like about creating is that it allows me to forget everything, when I make a scrapbook page or a card there are no more worries, no stress, no anything,.. I also like sharing with people from all over the world. Of course I love to think that my daughter will look at my scrapbook page when she will be older.

What inspires me: What inspires me most of all is my family. Now that I am a mother,nearly all my scrapbook pages are about my daugther. I visit  lots of  foreign blogs and forums, to see what is done in other countries. I really love freestyle Scrapbooking, especially Elsie , Adrienne Looman and the French Céline Navarro.

Hello!

Thanks Kicki for introducing me! I’m very happy to be a guestdesign-team member!

So this week, as sunday was Valentine’s day, what better theme for cards than LOVE ??! The girl hugging heart  and  the boy hugging heart stamps are just perfect for love cards!

So I made two cards with them…

Both are colored with black distress ink, and hearts enhanced  with red ink and glossy accents.

Hope you like it, see you next week!

Hugs,

Emma.
