Be The Light Mission Themed Scrapbook Layout

Today I'm sharing this layout that features a cut file created by my lovely friend Ashley at 

The Cut Shoppe.  BE THE LIGHT is perfect for mission themed scrapbook pages.  I'm using this file to spotlights my teen's most recent summer mission trip but it would also be appropriate for encouragement themed pages, as well.  I also chose papers and embellishments from the Jillibean Soup Spoonful of Soul collection, which is available now at Scrapbook.com.  Scroll down for a few creative details!

This was the first time that I have hand stitched on paper.  Let me tell, you I learned a few lessons!  Thanks to some lovely crafty friends, I learned to punch all the holes first, using a paper piercer.  I was so happy to have the Sizzix Stampers Secret Weapon on hand.  The foam pad and piercer set got the job done quickly!

Attached to the cut file is a light bulb.  I took the outline from the file, cut with my Cricut Explore, and laid it on top of my photo, tracing with a white gel pen.  Then I trimmed the photo and popped it up with foam circles, along with popping up the rest of my cut file.  By the way, behind the popped up cut file is another cut file called HEART BURST , which comes in two sizes.  My layout is sized at 8.5 x 11 inches, however I used the 12x12 inch and trimmed the edges.

If you look closely, you can also see the white cardstock in the background, splattered with spritzed distress ink.  Just another extra touch.  I love making splatters!

The journaling was typed out on my desktop computer and printed on Neenah cardstock, then layered with more Spoonful of Soul papers and popped up for dimension.

There's an entire sheet of die cut elements included with the Spoonful of Soul collection.  I used some of those as well, along with epoxy stickers.

3D Floral Jumbo Tag & Exciting News!

Hello crafty friends.  Today, I'm sharing this 3D Jumbo Floral Tag using the exclusive Jumbo Tag Nesting Dies from Scrapbook.com, along with a variety of different coloring mediums.  I'm also using stamps from the Unity Stamp Company sharing one of my favorite crafty techniques.  Scroll down for a few brief, creative details. Plus, some exciting news regarding World Cardmaking Day coming up in October!

(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links.  This does not affect your purchase price.)

First, I created a jumbo tag with watercolor paper and my Jumbo tag nesting dies.  I used my Ranger Ink distress and oxide ink for the smooshing technique; spritzing water onto my Waffle Flower Crafts Water Media Mat, then "smooshing" the watercolor paper into the ink.

Next, I stamped the Chicken Wire stamp from Unity Stamps onto my tag and used a hexagon embossing folder with my Spellbinders Platinum 6 emboss/die cut machine. 

My favorite every day household tool?  A nail file.  I use it to sand the edges of my cardstock and to sand the raised edges of embossed images for that wow factor. 

For my bloom, I used the Unity Stamps Blooming Peonies background stamp and fussy cut one bloom.  I fussy cut the petals and used small foam circles to pop it up.  This was colored with my Altenew pan watercolor set.  My sentiment was colored with Copics and I used my Brother Scan N Cut to create a die cut.

BONUS TIP: When creating 3D flowers, stack some of your petals with double or triple foam circles for added dimension, using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L foam circles.

I hope you enjoy this project and will try some of these techniques.  

Let me also mention some exciting news.  One of my cards was chosen by Scrapbook.com as "The 19 Best Cards of 2019".  Check out this link and look for number #19, my project.  I'm so thrilled to have been chosen.  Be sure and stay tuned because there are some exciting things coming up next month for World Cardmaking Day.  Have a creative day, friends!  Terri
