49 and Market Viken Album!

 Hello friends! I'm back today with a look at the completed album we started to put together in the weekly Scrap Shotz Facebook Live  last week. You can check out the Facebook Live Replay below as well as a completed flip through on YouTube at the bottom! You'll find the 49 and Market Quad Folio, Waterfall Set and ARToptions Viken Collection in the Scrap Shotz Store, along with the Spellbinders Tufted 3D embossing folder and Tonic Pearlescent Cardstock. I also used Lavinia, A Colorful Life and Tim Holtz Stencils, Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide Ink, Midnight Snack Lunar Paste and the Limited Edition Tim Holtz Mica Stains!

Here is a look at the Facebook Live Replay where we put together the Waterfall Pages and some of the Album! 

I used Rub-ons to create dimensional elements by adding them to white cardstock and fussy cutting, as well as cutting out the cut-apart sheet included in the 6x8 paper pack.

The Rub-ons look beautiful added directly to the spine, with a chipboard label.

I added the Mica Stain Sprays by both spraying through the stencils and then turning them over for a negative effect. They are so shiny!

As you open the Quad Folio you'll find areas to embellish, perfect to add the Waterfall pages.

We put the waterfall set together in the Facebook Live, so be sure to check that out! The Spellbinders Tufted 3D folder and Tonic Pearlescent Cardstock looks like a quilted effect on the edges of the album!

There are magnets included in the Waterfall set so the top flap stays closed. 

I added layers of Rub-ons, paper and chipboard and then added chipboard and Rub-on sentiments throughout the waterfall pages. I used Midnight Snack Lunar Paste with a sponge through a stencil on the flaps.

I sponged the edges of the 6x8 paper with Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide Ink.

There are 3 waterfall sets included in the pack - two small and one large. 

The large waterfall fits the whole page and fits larger photos perfectly!

I used some elements from the cut apart page included in the 6x8 paper pack and added a Rub-on sentiment directly onto the page.

On the back I added some stenciling with the Tim Holtz focus stencil and the Mica Stain Spray. There is a magnetic closure that keeps the album flap closed.

And here's a look at the full flip through on YouTube! 

Happy Crafting Friends! Be sure to stop by and hang out again this Thursday on the Scrap Shotz Facebook Page for another Live Demo at 1 pm MST!

Explosion Boxes with Wild Whisper Paper and WRMK Explosion Board!

Hello friends! I'm over on the Wild Whisper Blog today sharing some fun explosion boxes!! These are seriously so awesome to make with the New We R Memory Keepers Explosion Board! I got out some of the beautiful bright Pam Bray Sensations and Simplicity Paper Collections along with some Play In The Dirt Ephemera and Sequins. I originally filmed this Live on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Facebook Page and decided to share it today here!

I used some of the cut apart elements in the paper packs for the lid and added ephemera and sequins. I love the sentiments that come in the ephemera pack!

You can create boxes & lids in 7 different sizes, explosion boxes with instructions for flaps for pockets, gatefold cards and squash cards with the Explosion Board! I decided to go with a motivational/nature theme for these boxes. You could add photos and many more embellishments.

Here's a look at one more explosion box I created with these same supplies!

I just love the bright colours and how the different Wild Whisper collections can mix and match!

Here's a look at the VIDEO where you can see exactly how to put an explosion box together and get a closeup look at both these pretty boxes!
