Prima's Engraver Collection

Good day my fellow Snazzy fans, can you believe it's March already!! Where is the year going.. It will soon be Ally Pally time..wooohooo.

Today i'm back to share my final project.

I decided to make an infinity card as I hadn't made one for such a long time and it seemed more fun than a regular card, plus I get to showcase more of the wonderful Prima Engraver papers.

These cards are very simple to make and there are many tutorials out there {sorry I didn't have time for my own Utube for this one, If I get time I will try and get one done asap}

But I found a great set of instructions HERE

This is my first side:

I used the 'Arcade' sheet as it had 4 6x6 papers on the 1 sheet.

You can't really see in this pic but I coated the flowers with glossy accents.

Side 2:

Again another of the 6x6 papers with some scraps for the centre to allow the sentiment stamping.

Side 3:

Some bits left over from side 2, along with another of the 6x6's off the same sheet and i've added a little stamping with one of the Engraver cling stamps to the 4 corners.

And finally side 4:

More cling stamps used both direct to the base card and the flowers on leftover scraps.

And there you have it.. My week is complete.

I thank you kindly if you have stopped by and left a comment, Your feedback is always welcome and appreciated.

Don't forget to hop on back on Monday when the lovely Astrid will be showing more wonderful ways to use this amazing collection.

Till next time.. Stay Inky

Hay Snazzy Followers,

I hope you enjoyed my first project and matching video from Monday.. Today I am back with my second offering of the month, This time something nice and simple

The humble scrapbook layout.

I always find that if you have nice papers, you don't really need alot else to make a fun and interesting layout.

For mine I used the 'Roulette' sheet as my base. 

It was actually black and white but it looked far too stark for the photo's I wanted to use so I swiped the whole page with 'antique linen' distress ink, rubbing in on harder in places to get a patchy effect. I then distressed the sides with my distress-it-all and punched out some sections with a border punch, I then inked it all round making it nice and grungy.

I cut out the old polaroid type frames from the 'Calligraphy' sheet to mount my photo's on, along with the tape measure strip and pocket watch.

I backed the pocket watch onto some card before fussy cutting it out, I then covered it in 'rock candy' distress crackle. Once it was dry I rubbed 'vintage photo' distress ink over the top, and pushed into the cracks with a baby wipe to give a nice aged look.

I backed the strip of measure tape with some raffia lace from my stash, and embellished the page with idea-ology tickets and tickets from the 'Bank Note' sheet, along with some of the yummy patterned Engraver Roses.

Prima's Engraver Collection:

Hay Snazzy Folks 

As you know we are working with a truly STUNNING collection this month.

I am totally in love with all the papers and ended up using every last scrap from the kit bar a few flowers!!

The main bulk of that went on this, my first of 3 projects i'll be sharing this week.

I knew as soon as we were told about the kit that I wanted to make a mini-book of some kind, but by the end it wasn't so mini after all lol

It started as a book but evolved into a little case when I added the handle and clasp.

I choose the 'Cartouche' paper for the cover as it is easy on the eye whether your looking at it vertically or horizontally.

***

Now I know your all gonna wanna see this in more depth, so not to disappoint {and so I don't make this a mammoth post with hundreds of photo's} I have made a little UTube for your viewing pleasure.

ENJOY

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you are inspired to get out your papers and create something.

 I'll be back again on Wednesday with my second offering.. 

Till then Stay Inky
