American Crafts | Flowers

Hi everyone,

This week on the American Crafts blog is Flowers week.  I had a card that was on the blog earlier this week featuring flowers, made with the Amy Tangerine Rise and Shine collection.

Create instant flowers for your projects using metal dies.  You can layer them together for a big impact.

Supplies: Dear Lizzy Serendipity (369224) - dies, Dear Lizzy Serendipity (369220) - Watercolor Words,  Amy Tangerine Rise And Shine (370034) Epoxy Stickers, Amy Tangerine Rise And Shine (370044) - Paper Clips Gold, Amy Tangerine Rise And Shine (370025) - 6"x6" Paper Pad, Cardstock (AM710-81) - White

How To: Create a 5"x5" card base and fold in half.  Using the Dear Lizzy Serendipity dies, die cut flowers from different pieces of pattern paper included in the 6"x6" Paper Pad.  Curl up edges of flowers and layer them onto the card.  With a sewing machine add messy stitching to some of the flowers.  Flick black spray mist across the card.  Adhere "Hello" watercolor word to the center of card using liquid adhesive.  Finish by embellishing card with epoxy sticker and paper clip.

Scrapbook Circle | Ampersands

Inspired by the ampersand die cuts you will find in the Love It add-on and This Way add-on this month at Scrapbook Circle, I created my page based around these cute little symbols.  I used papers from the April Let's Do This kit combined with my Silhouette to cut my own ampersands out of patterned paper, and then paired them with the die cuts that I got in my add-on kits.

They are so trendy and fun!  I also added drops of watercolor paint and distress paint across my page to add color.  I added a few stickers, sequins and machine stitching and boom, my layout was done!

American Crafts February Gallery layout / Matt Man

***If you are looking for the American Crafts blog hop go here ***

Hi everyone,
I have another fun layout to share today for the American Crafts February Gallery.  Once again, I used the super fun papers and embellishments from the Amy Tangerine Plus One collection.   I recently bought these fun hand drawn stars from Two Peas and after cutting a few, was totally inspired to create a background out of them.
 
Matt Man layout

 

I love the plain chipboard thickers in this collection.  They look great by themselves or you can spruce them up.

I added some stamping with Plus One stamps and Hero Arts white shadow ink (my favorite).  This layout came together quickly after adding a few sequins and wood embellishments.  So fun!

supplies: American Crafts: (Plus One Collection) Accompany Large clear acrylic stamps, Mixtape, matte puffy accent stickers, Bits, flair adhesive badges, natural chipboard thickers, peer paper, match paper, doubles paper, counterpart paper; Studio Calico: wood veneer stars (Printshop)
