Elegance-by Leanne Nankervis


Hi Everyone!
Leanne here to share another project with you today from Memory Maze Chipboard. I'm sharing a layout with you today, a little mixed media vibrant red page. With this gorgeous ballet photo of my friends daughter, such a cutie she is! and I love all the props they use in their end of year photo shoots.

Elegance


I have used a Memory Maze chipboard frame in behind my photo, I embossed in white and cut the frame in half. And I staggered it either side of my photo.




Close up of the Elegance title, I embossed in the same white powder. I then water coloured the bottom of her dress and added some lovely red beads along the bottom of the dress.


Memory Maze supplies used:
J13002 vintage frame square 100x100
Vintage small frame



Thanks for stopping by the blog today!
cheers

Creating your own Gelli printed paper...with Sarah

Hello crafty friends, one of my favorite crafty things to do is create my own backgrounds and patterned paper using the Gelli Plate. My post today will share some of my tips in using Memory Maze products to make it super easy!
For this project I used my 3x5 inch Gelli plate (these are squishy gelatin based plates that make mono printing possible with the use of a press) to stamp onto a piece of cardstock to create my background page. The fantastic, large acrylic blocks from Memory Maze make gelli printing easy. As pictured below, the gelli plate clings to the 100x150mm block which enables handling it and stamping with it a breeze!
The paint is then applied to the plate using a brayer, stencil on top and then use your brayer again to run over the stencil to make an imprint in to the plate. The stencil shown here is the Sugar Skull. For the huge range of stencils, in various sizes, click here.
After removing the stencil, the block can easily be turned over to print on your page.
The other way to use the Memory Maze stencils with your gelli plate is to print throught them. As pictured below, place your stencil down on the page and press your painted gelli plate on top of it.
Here is the finished paper....still needs some more embellishing to complete a layout. Alternatively it could be cut up for card making or pocket scrapbooking cards. You can use your Memory Maze stencils to further add to the piece, along with chipboard pieces for a title to finish it off.
I hope you enjoyed this post and picked up some tips on using acrylic blocks for your projects. 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.

New Product release: Sentiment Stamps

Hello crafty friends, Memory Maze has been on fire with their designs of late and today you can see some more of the new stamp releases....sentiment stamps!
With card making being an ever growing area of interest amongst paper crafters of all kinds, it makes sense to grow where the interest and demand is. Card sentiments are a popular addition to any class, kit or store. Coming in a rubber only stamp, these are ideally adhered to a stamping block using double sided tape, spray adhesive or used with a stamping platform. Acrylic blocks are also available online. The range of sentiment stamps can be found online here.

Let's take a look at the new range. There are sentiments for all occasions, the good and tough times - here are just a few;
Whether you are running class in your store, at home or in the community, Memory Maze provides a great option for those stamping moments. 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.

Art Is... by Suzanne Franin

Hi everyone Suzanne here

Make sure you check out our great range and get your local store to get the stock in for you

I found this round canvas and couldn't wait to use it 

I then saw this quote and things just fell into place

So I used the Nutty Overlay chipboard I felt it went great with the round canvas adding another dimension to it

I created a YouTube video of the process so make sure you check it out (the quality isn't great still trying to get that sorted but you can still seethe whole process)

I have to say a HUGE thank you to Anna from Koko Vanilla Designs who helped my Mum make my stash of Inka Gold's grow so much LOL
(And thanks Mum for the growth of my stash it's nice having such a great choice of colours)

Make sure you check out Anna's STORE if she doesn't have something you are after make sure to message her and I'm sure she will do her best to help you out


This is a close up of the Nutty Overlay chipboard you can see Haematite a little in the background with the other colours over the top


I found a little paint palette embellishment in my stash and had to use it 
It was perfect 


You can see the embellishments that I covered in the Inka Gold's - the key in Rose Quartz, The ceiling rose in Cobaltblue and the metal circle with YellowGold 


Flutterby Design's Flair Button's are an awesome embellishment to slot in anywhere they have the best sayings on them I had to have a little bottle of magic on here because I believe each piece of art work you create hold a little magic


I liked the three little sentiments I chose and you can see the stamp underneath


In the centre of the stencil I used clear embossing powder to make the jar look as though it was glass


Here you can see the diamond stencil pattern
I used crackle paste with it but I must have
done it too thin as it didn't crackle at all 

Product I used




Thanks for visiting I hope you will be back soon xx
