'Learn' with Sarah

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here with another project in my Travelers Notebook. Following on from my blog post on the 2 March 2019, here is another layout idea using the mixed media paper I created and Memory Maze wooden circles. These photos were taken on my youngest son's first day of school. Let's take a look...

This layout is created in my A5 Travelers Notebook from The Travelers Notebook online. I just love this size - it's big enough for a 4x6 photo on either side with room to spare. For this project I used the wooden nested circles and backed them with the mixed media paper I created using Memory Maze stencils and stamps. Check out my previous blog post to see this tutorial.

I splattered black paint on the background before adhering down the photos. The photos were backed with book paper, black cardstock and layered with some Project Life cards. I used the Ali Edwards 'Learn' kit for those green circle stickers and 'Learn' acrylic word.

Merry Christmas with Sarah

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here with you to show some more brooch cards using the gorgeous new Australian Christmas designs by Memorymaze.

I'm sure you'd have to agree that the designs are beautiful- extending from my last post to now include a Wombat, kangaroo, koala and a platypus all with cute Santa hats on!

The designs pictured above are Aussie Christmas tree and kangaroo, koala and pelican in Christmas stocking - so adorable. The extensive Christmas range of wood veneer, chipboard and acrylic pieces can be found online at www.memorymaze.com.au

These pieces would look fantastic on Christmas cards, off the page projects, scrapbook layouts. The animals are also available without the Santa hats for a more generic use. Hope you enjoyed this post and it inspired you to get crafty!

Born to be Wild with Sarah Rosse

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here today with a scrapbook layout for you that I recently taught at local store to me - Scrap 2 Relax.

This layout was created using Gel Press petite gel plates - this triangle plate comes in a pack of three and are so much fun to create with! I mount the gel mini plate on to an acrylic block and brayer paint on to them. I then make patterns on the plate using various tools and stamp them on to the page.

The Memory Maze Lasercut products used for this layout include the gorgeous black acrylic title 'Born to be Wild'. This is also available in chipboard or wood veneer. I also used the nested wooden triangles and painted them black to match the title.

I matted the photo of my son with white and black cardstock, then created two other hand painted mats to compliment the background colours of the layout. To finish off the layout, I did some doodled edges with a black marker.

Australian Christmas brooch cards with Sarah

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here today with some of the new Australian themed Christmas designs from Memory Maze lasercuts.

For these new designs, please check out the Memory Maze website here. Let's take a look at the other designs created using these wooden veneer pieces.

These cards are easy to put together. Simply adhere a brooch pin to the back of the wood piece. You want to ensure this is totally dry before attempting to pin this to the card.

Position the piece on your card front and pierce two small holes in the card to pass the brooch pin through. Position and stamp your sentiment - I like to use my MISTI (check this out on you tube if you havent seen them!) to ensure accurate stamping every time. Then pin the dried piece to your card and you're done! Let's take a closer look at the other two designs. The crocodile card is on a Kraft background.

For these cards I have used stamps from my stash, however Memory Maze also have a vast range of rubber stamps that are also available. Take a look back through my previous blog posts for some examples of these. They can be found online here.

Awesome Autumn with Sarah

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here with another scrapbooking layout for you with a number of gorgeous Memory Maze goodies.

This layout today is of my youngest son playing in the crunchy Autumn leaves! Love the expression on his face...he was having so much fun! The background of this 6x8 inch layout is from my gel press plate. See my previous blog posts to learn more about this. I often print on a whole lot of papers and later use them for project as they fit - I loved the multiple colours in this paper to compliment the colours of Autumn.

The layout came together simply with the photo adhered to the background, the 'awesome' wood veneer word from Memory Maze as the title with some letter stickers. There is a range of new wooden veneer words from Memory Maze this month. Be sure to keep an eye out of the website for these. The Australian birds on a branch chipboard pieces was inked with black archival ink and clear embossed.

The range of birds and chipboard pieces in this theme can be seen on the Memory Maze website here. This layout was quick and easy to come together. I hope you enjoyed it.

Fun Times with Sarah

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here with a layout for you using one of the new wooden words from Memory Maze! They are just adorable and fantastic for those scrappy layouts or even a card with the word as the feature.

For this 6x8 inch layout, I used some gelli printed paper for the background (I just love making my own patterned paper in this way!) and simply added on a photo of my youngest son having fun climbing on the kinder equipment. I snapped this shot recently when I went along for a Mother's Day afternoon tea. Given the background paper is so busy, I went for minimal embellishments on this layout.

I added some Memory maze acrylic hearts and some letter stickers to finish off the title. Some doodling with a fineliner pen to add a border and it's all finished!

If you are interested in any of the Memory Maze products, be sure to contact your local craft store or Memory Maze for your local stockist where we can place our local sales reps in contact with them. The new products for June can be found on the website at http://www.memorymaze.com.au/

Mini Mothers Day cards with Sarah

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here with you today with some new acrylic pieces from Memory Maze...perfect for some more mini brooch cards!

With Mother's Day coming up this month, I have been busy creating some mini cards using some of the gorgeous wooden veneer pieces as well as some of the new acrylic designs. All of the new products for May can be found on the website here. The acrylic and wooden pieces were adhered to a brooch pin and set aside to dry. The cards are then stamped with a sentiment (this one is a Kaisercraft stamp) using my MISTI. This is the most incredible stamping tool invented - if you havent seen it in action, check it out on YouTube. It is ideal for making cards as it allows you to stamp in the same spot every time.

Lets take a closer look at the cards and some of the products used here.

I just love the range of embellishments that Memory Maze offers - whether they be in wood veneer or acrylic. Some favs for mums special day include sewing machines, deers, doggies, VW van and gorgeous hot air balloons - this one I backed with patterned paper to stand out from the card.

I hope you enjoyed these cards and will be sure to give them a go yourself. If you are interested in any of the Memory Maze products, be sure to contact your local craft store or Memory Maze for your local stockist where we can place our local sales reps in contact with them.

Wooden Veneer brooch cards with Sarah

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here with another brooch card special, this time using some of the wooden veneer pieces from Memory Maze Lasercuts.

These wooden pieces are so versatile - great for cards, scrapbook layouts and my love of brooches! It's good to remember that almost any of the chipboard pieces on the website can also be cut in wood.
Let's jump right in to it...this first one is a 3x3 inch card with a gorgeous cupcake on it. This cupcake is also available in this same design in a yellow acrylic.

The next card is using a the gorgeous swirly owl. In fact for those owl lovers out there, Memory Maze has a wide variety of owl die cuts. They can be viewed online here.

As you can see in this photo, the deer head (as per my last blog post) is also featured.

The next one is the skull bulb - isnt this so cool?

There are many more designs and examples of brooch cards I have....may share some more later if you'd like to see them? Be sure to leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts....until next time!
