OTP - Debbie Mumm by Creative Imaginations

Hi Everyone, 

Rebecca back here again to share with you a small OTP project I created using the Debbie Mumm range by Creative Imaginations. I thought to myself this range is so interesting that I just had to go OTP with it, I created a small shadow box which I gave to my Nanna for her 80th Birthday (she loved it!!). 

Here you can see the finished box from the front, I have used half a nest and half eggs, all stickers have been foam mounted and I have hung a small pair of keys from the roof of the box. 
  

View from back of the box.

View from the right side of the box.

Below are a few photos I took along the way. Originally the small shadow box started off life looking just a balsa wood square. The following steps were then taken.

• A matte gel medium was used to adhere all the papers to the box (all corners front and back were cut on a 45 degree angle). 
•  Glossy accents was used to glue both the nest and eggs inside the box.
• I decorated both the inside and outside of the backing. 
• Small hooks were screwed into the roof of the box to hang the keys.
• Lots of distress ink (Tim Holtz Walnut) and Gold Rub N Buff was used around the egdes. 
• The back of the box was adhered with Glossy Accents (super glue would work perfectly well too).     
  

Thank you all for stopping by for a look, please do not hesitate to ask me any questions, I am more than happy to help out. 

Be happy and always be creative!

Debbie Mumm Range by Creative Imaginations

Happy Friday everyone!! 

Rebecca here to share with you a couple of new projects created using the new Debbie Mumm range by Creative Imaginations. This range is fabulous for nature or autumn inspired work, the colour combinations in these papers are just gorgeous. 

This month I had the pleasure I setting the monthly challenge, I decided on the following:

Your project must have the following (in any amount you choose!! as long as all are included). 

• Torn Papers
• Flowers
• Leaves
• Ribbon 

For my layout I have used photos which were taken in the South Island of New Zealand last year, these photos I believe have the perfect colours to coordinate with the CI papers. This layout is definitely not a flatty, it is rather high with the use of the nest, glittered branch and butterflies. I could have chosen to stick the nest on flat, however to get the most out of my nest I cut it in half and used half on this layout (you will see the other half later in the month), the little eggs have also been cut in half using a small pair of sharp scissors. My stickers have all been mounted on foam tape and the edges have been inked. Metal leaves used throughout this project have been taken from my own personal stash (finally a wonderful project to use them on!).

Items used above - Creative Imaginations Debbie Mumm Range - Song Bird, Sweet Tweet, coordinating sticker set. Tim Holtz Distress Ink Walnut, kraft cardstock, Kaisercraft nest and eggs, Tim Holtz Tattered Leaves Die, glittered branch. 

This month Janene Selzer has set the card challenge with the theme 'Summer Lovin'. All my DT kit papers this month were very autumn looking, oh oh, what was I going to do?. I took my papers and created a scene with a floating butterfly and a sun. Who says summer cannot happen during autumn?

 

Items used above - Creative Imaginations Debbie Mumm Range - Song Bird, Sweet Tweet, coordinating sticker set. Tim Holtz Distress Ink  - Walnut, Spiced Marmalade, Peeled Paint, kraft cardstock, Kaisercard (Chocolate), Washi Tape - Bird on a Wire. 

Wishing you all a happy and most creative week :-)

Good Morning everyone,
Isn't time flying here we are in the middle of August and it's time for a new challenge. This month Rebecca has set a great 'In Vogue' challenge for you to get your creative side thinking:

This Month you must have the following on your Layout:

• Hexagons
• Twine
• A Quote

In my example this month I have used the new 'Echo Park' Everyday Eclectic  papers which are ideal, I have added some good old eyelets and twine and a perfect quote ( A Child reaches for your hand and touches your heart)  for my photo of my granddaughter.

This month Janene has set a great card sketch for you:

I enjoyed making my card with the great new birthday range from 'Kaisercraft' Save the Date. There is so many fun versatile elements in this range, fantastic for any birthday card you might need.

Well I hope you get lots of time to create our new challenges, all entries need to be emailed to Jo by the 14th of Sept.


Just a reminder that Scrapbookit will be closed on the 24- 28th of August due to our retreat.
