Hi – Marie from the north of Sweden here today. My plan for this months projects was to create Mother´s Day Cards. But as usual when I create nothing goes as I predicted… Instead I ended up making this canvas using the She corner & the Smallest Things black card piece.
I used a lot of textures like different sizes of beads, Glimmer Mists and crackle paste on the canvas base. This makes the chipboard and cardboard piece really pop. The “She” chippie was painted with Glimmer Glam from Tattered Angels which gives it a look similar to metal. I actually used very few items on this piece – beads (3 sizes/chipboard/cardboard/mist/two flowers/tulle & pebble stones). Hopefully it will be a appreciated gift on Mothers day.

I have used these products from Scrap FX:

- 2017102 She corner
I hope I could inspire you today!
Best wishes from Marie

Hi all, today I’d like to share with you my latest creations for Scrap FX…”Imagine and Mum”
First up I’d like to share an art journal spread “Imagine”
I had fun with loads of paint, pens, scribble sticks and paste creating this spread…
I used the
Denise Stencil, isn’t it fabulous… I really love this stencil…
I chose to use some of the words from the
Imagine Phrase Stencil…. it really is quite a versatile stencil, when you think outside the square…
A last look at the individual pages….
Next up I have a layout to share “Mum”
A pic of mum on a flight to a retail event…. she always wore one side of her headphones off like that so she could hear me as well as whatever movie was playing…
this awesome stencil has both the the positive and negative forms …. so you can use it as both a stencil or a mask as I have done on this layout…
isn’t it such a pretty frame…
To finish off my layout… I used an oldie for my title “
mum-script“

Good morning dear friends
I am back on the blog today sharing 2 layouts using a variety of new and old products. With the focus of Mother’s day in May we had a bit of a “She” theme here at Scrap FX.
If I had to choose a favourite product of the month, it would defnitely be the She Phrases Transparency. I used it on 4 of my Design projects this month and still have a couple spare. So yes you will see me using them everywhere.

She Phrases Transparency
Barbwire boarder
Cogs mini
As you may know I love to use monochrome colours and this month I chose to add Kraft to the mix.
I started by laying out my chipboard onto my page deciding where each piece needed to go.
Next I coloured all my chipboard pieces with black Archival ink. As you can see I cut one of the pieces so I could “extend” it so to speak covering the gap with my photo.
Once the design was done it was easy. I simply matted my photo and layered my chosen chipboard pieces and adhered them to my background. All the transparency quotes were adhered using clear gel medium which ensures a smooth beautiful finish.

Scrap FX Products used

Daisy Flowers stencil
Steampunk Dragonfly
She corner
Dare to be different
She Phrases Transparency
This is a little different , even for me. You will note that though it is still simplistic it has a whole variety of different products. Sticking to the monochrome theme and altering my chipboard allowed me to still have a lot of white space and create a sense of balance across the page, despite the almost scattered look.
I started by creating a background using stamping, paint and stenciling daisies with molding paste using the Daisy Flowers stencil.
Next I coloured my chipboard with Archival ink and silver Alcohol ink. I did not want to use the frame as it was so decided to cut it up and use different sections of it across the focus area. This way the “She” does not only functions as a title but also as the start of the sentences in my journaling.
Again all the quotes were adhered using clear gel medium.
I hope you enjoyed this time with me today and will catch up with you again soon.
Please visit us again and leave us some love so we can see what you enjoy reading.
Also don’t forget to get your Design Team application in if you want to the fabulous opportunity to join us.
Till next time have fun.

Hello to you Scrap Fx Fans! Amelie with you today. I present 2 pages, to make me forgive for not being able to publish as agreed at the end of April.
To start, I present Love. I used a stencil and some chipboards.
For my second creation, I present Happy Birthday. I used some chipboards on which I put black gesso, then add Metallic Wax “Aged Brass” from Prima Marketing.
Thank you!
by Kerstin-Inga Peters | Comments Off on ATC’s in Vintage style
Welcome!
Kerstin here with a new inspiration for you.
I recently discovered my passion for ATC’s.
It was new for me to work on such a small place.
I wasn’t sure if our chipboards are right for such a little size,
but how you can see at our very talented Scrap FX Teamies
and you are so many variants if you cut some of this pieces.
The only chipboard that I have used here
I was inspired from a dreamy world, little fairies and butterflies on a flowering meadow.
I love the color combination brown and blue, the perfect team for a vintage style project.
Together with some cutouts from old photos and a wordphrase (Rub on transfer), some stamps for a background
and some pieces from a spiderweb (die) I created four little cards.
I embossed the whole chipboard with ‘Turqouise Shimmer’
embossing powder (Emerald Creek Dares)
and then you can cut this beauty in so many little beauties parts.
Hopefully you will now feel even more inspired to create your own
ATC’s – a wonderful idea, because they are can collected or traded,
and only need a small amount of space.
I really enjoyed working on mine!!!
by Marie Johansson | Comments Off on For the Love of the Grandies
I´m back today with a layout that celebrates the love of my parents, my children´s Grandparents.
They are such a great couple – and they always have time for their grandkids, no matter what their plans were originally – they just toggle the kids along! I love that kind of behaviour. They don´t let go of their plans, they let the children be a part of it. For this layout I used the Landscape frame, together with the Kangaroo Paw Stem and the Grandies Wordlet.
The cluster was built around the Landscape frame with the photo in the centre. I cut the Kangaroo Paw Stem into pieces so I could use it for display on more than one part of the layout.
I painted the chipboards with High Impact paints from Tattered Angels and distressed them with a bit of Heavy Gesso. That way they get a bit of structure. I love how that turned out.
More details:
I hope you enjoyed my layout and feel inspired to buy these products I used from the Scrap FX store:
- 2017138 The Grandies
- 2017068 Landscape Frame
- 201784 Kangaroo Paw Stem
Love from Marie
by Claire Barrin | Comments Off on La vie est faite de petits bonheurs
Hello dear Scrap FX followers,
amongst this month’s novelties, there’s a new French sentence I love: “La vie est faite de petits bonheurs“, meaning “Life is made of small joys”.
I chose to use it with a picture of a blooming azalea in October…
I used various chipboards as Mini Bouquets,
and hashtags words from the #schooldays pack.
To add some détails on my background, I also outlined some triangles from the Triangles stencil.
Item used:
La Vie phrase

Triangles stencil

I wish you a very pleasant day.

Hi all, today I’d like to share with you a layout I created using some of the latest Scrap FX releases…
“Mother”
I began with a mono-tonal background I created on my Gel Press…
the new
She stamp made a great addition to my background …
I added the new Denise stencil, love this stencil… I added her with coloured modelling paste to match my background and flipped the stencil to add her a second time…. to complete a very soft mono-tonal background.
I added the large Scribble heart this is still one of my favourite pieces.
To finish off my layout, I used this fabulous new
Mother title… no truer words…. “all love begins and ends there”

Hello dear friends
How are you all? Wow I can’t believe in May already, before you know it half of 2017 will be over… However every new month brings a stack of new products for you to play with so quickly grab a cuppa and join me for a quick tutorial.
ATC Fun
Scrap FX Products used:
Steampunk Dangle Corner
Wire Heart SMALL
Aussie Slang Frame
So we all like to play with new stuff, but what about those odds bits and pieces that you have leftover? Or what if the pieces you have are too big for what you want to create? Use it, cut it and save those pieces, I say. Here is how:
I created a mixed media background using Dylusion paints and and stamps from Stampers Anonymous. When this was dry, I simply matted my 2.25″ x 3.25″ patterned panels onto 2.5″ x 3.5″ black card stock. As always, I added additional chipboard in-between the layers to add more texture. Next I cut up my chipboard pieces. I started with the Steampunk Chipboard and cut it into 4 different pieces so it would fit on my ATC’s. This also helped me to have enough matching pieces for 3 ATC’s.
The next step was to colour them all with my favorite Silver Adirondack Alcohol Mixative Ink. I can’t stop to tell you how easy and awesome this stuff is for chipboard, especially tiny, fragile ones.
Last but not least I simply added a couple of journaling strips, cotton and a few grey toned pearls and it was done.
I hope you enjoyed reading
this and that you would visit us again in the near future. We welcome your support and input so please share your thoughts, ask questions or just let us know what you think.
Till next time, have fun crafting.
