I am Woman, Hear me roar

 Good morning team, Fi here, I hope everyone was able to have a lovely Christmas. Today I have on the blog a journal page I created using serviettes and a very old magazine picture from the 1940's! I pulled all the backing paper from the serviettes so I was left just with the printed side. I then collaged them onto my page using mod podge.

 I selected a picture of a lady from my old magazine stash cutting around her and gluing her down. I painted the chipboard words with Seth Apter izink pigment in lychee and Royal gold. Once dried I used a glue stick to stick on the chipboard.

Products used:

Memory Maze chipboard - I am woman

Hey there crafty people and thank you for stopping by the Memory Maze blog! It's Melissa A with you today and as you all know, there is only 1 day until Christmas!!!! 

So to keep with the Christmas theme, I thought I would do something different for my Memory Maze DT project this time and this is what I came up with...

I used a cardboard stocking cut out from Memory Maze and covered it with some music notes card stock. I then stenciled on top of that using some white gesso and while it was still wet, sprinkled glitter on top of it to make it sparkle.

I then attached a star/clock cut out for the background and attached a Memory Maze lantern chipboard on top, which I covered using some gold gilding flakes.

I then arranged and attached my flowers and embellishments.

I heat embossed some Memory Maze Tribal border chipboard with some African ancient gold embossing powder and also did this to some Memory Maze snowflakes chipboard.

To finish off this project, I added some white crystal snow, some gold crushed glass and some sparkly fluff sugar.

I also added the Memory Maze acrylic 'Joy' title to which I covered with white crystal snow as well.

I hope you liked my last DT project for 2020....I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and make the most of the situation we all find ourselves in.

I will be back next year with some more Memory Maze crafty inspiration for you all. Until then...Happy Crafting and Happy Holidays! :)

Aussie Christmas

 Good morning everyone, Fiona here on this cheery monday. For this weeks blog post I have created a cover page in my art journal for all things Christmas this year. I started with a background in my Art by Marlene A4 journal in which I arranged some Tim Holtz stencils onto the page and sprayed them with Dylusions spray ink in postbox red. I then moved the Holiday knit stencil and used it to fill in the gaps.

 

Whilst the page was drying I used Tim Holtz' new distress spray stain in crackling campfire to blend the colours and fill in some of the white space. I set the page aside to dry and tore out two pages from an old encyclopaedia spraying them with distress oxides in twisted citron, mowed lawn and rustic wilderness. I also used the rustic wilderness distress ink to colour the chipboard.

Once dried I used various leafy die cuts and cut multiple of each. I glued the individual leaves to the chipboard wreath.

I coloured in part the kookaburra chipboard with posca pens for the santa hat and distress crayon for the branch as it gives a different textured look. I then glued the bird onto the wreath.

Since it is a Christmas page after all I added the title...... ready for all the Christmas crafts to follow,

Happy Monday!!

Item used:

Memory Maze - kookaburra Christmas and wreath chipboard

Tim Holtz dies - Wildflowers 2, funky festive, pine branch and Home for the holidays

Tim Holtz stencils - holiday knit, holiday script, plaid, Christmas

Ho Ho Ho its 2 weeks until Christmas!

 Thank you for joining me today as I share two Christmas Cards I have created using Memory Maze Chipboard and Cuttables.

Hey there crafters! Melissa A here on the Memory Maze blog today and with it being Summer here in Australia, I have created a beautiful tropical layout to share with you all.

I have used card stock from the 3Quarter Designs 'Beach House' collection and ephemera from Mintay's 'Paradise' collection.

I did some background stencilling using some white 3D modelling paste and Memory Maze Heart Frames chipboard, which I heat embossed with various embossing powders (See product list below).

I also used some Memory Maze chicken wire chipboard, which was heat embossed with embossing powder as well.

To finish off this tropical layout, I added some flowers from Autumn Lane, some large art stones and some pink & blue beads for some sparkle.

I hope you liked this tropical layout and it has inspired you to create some 'Summer' inspired layouts.

That's all from me today, have a wonderful week and happy crafting! :)

{Butterfly Dreams}

Hey there crafty people! Melissa A here with you today and I have a beautiful soft coloured DT layout to share with you created for the wonderful Memory Maze Lasercuts.

For this layout I have gone with a pretty butterfly theme and have used Mintay's card stock, as well as their fussy cutting elements.

For the background I sprinkled some pink pixie powder and sprayed it with water to get the desired effect, just to add some colour and then I did a little bit of stamping around the photo area.

I have used the gorgeous butterfly frame with the title from Memory Maze and I heat embossed it with both yellow and pink embossing powders. I did this with all the other butterfly chipboards used on this layout as well.

I used some beautiful soft yellow and pink Autumn Lane flowers, which worked in perfectly with this layout and also tucked some wood wool in between and around them for some added texture.

I hope you liked my latest creation, I will have some more for you all very soon! Until then...happy crafting! :)

Oh Dear, Oh Dear, I shall be too late!

 Good Morning Memory Maze fans, Fiona here today on the blog. For this post I have created a page again using cuttables of everyone's favourite childhood story - Alice in Wonderland. The cuttables are such a versatile product good for cards, scrapbooks and journals. I used my Art by Marlene journal (A4 size), Dina Wakley scribble sticks, stencils and tissue paper and the cuttables and chipboard from Memory Maze!

Starting with the background I used three of the different blues of scribble stick, scribbling a good amount of pigment onto the paper (which is a heavy watercolour cardstock) and used my water brush to spread the colour around and blend the colour, as well as creating some patterns by using extra water over the background before it dried.

From there I used my trusty glue stick and glued onto the background four of the cuttable images that I had torn out from the page, overlapping them in a cluster before also colouring over the top of these randomly with the same three colours of scribble stick. From there I added the hearts tissue paper.

As I think of big red hearts when thinking of Alice in Wonderland I found a hearts stencil by Dina Wakley and used her ruby paint to paint through it to add bold bright red hearts. over most of the page, I had to reposition the stencil a couple of times to add hearts diagonally on the page to draw your eye to the chipboard words and the rabbit. I painted the rabbit black to stand out and left the letters raw as I like the look of raw chipboard on bright colours.

Have a great Thursday!

Dina Wakley scribble sticks - Turquoise, peacock and sky
