I Love You - Want2Scrap and Quick Quotes

Hi everyone, Gabriela here today and I finally made a page I've been thinking about for a while. I thought it would be fun to make a page with a shaker window, so I tried it out. I used a chipboard cutout from Want2Scrap along with some of their bling and of course paper and ink from Quick Quotes. I scrapped a picture of my husband and I on vacation in New Orleans a few years ago, it's one of my favorite pictures of us and it seemed like a good fit for this page.

Hi everyone, Gabriela here today with a fun project that you can customize for yourself or as a gift. I'm using the Anchors Aweigh Collection along with some of my favorite Xyron products to make a mobile that you can gift for a baby shower or use as an inspiration for yourself. I'm using some supplies I found in my craft room, so this is a simple project you can do in an afternoon/evening.

Check out the video below. I had a fun time making this project and I will be hanging my dream mobile in my craft room to keep me inspired. 

You can find the products from the video below, happy crafting!

Xyron and Quick Quotes, Make a Banner Page

Crafts, Diy, How to, Paper crafting, Layout, Quick Quotes, Scrapbooking, Tools, Tutorial, XyronGabriela SimsComment

Hi everyone, Gabriela here today with a page using Club Q for this month with some help from my Xyron supplies. I made this page a banner page because of the adorable twine included in this month's Club Q. I also attended a quilt show this past weekend and decided to "hang" some of my favorites from the show on the banner. I started by choosing my 3 favorite pictures from the show and then built the page around that idea.


 

 Check out the video below to see how to put this page together.



I hope you enjoyed the video and you're inspired to make a banner page of your own. Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting.

Xyron and Quick Quotes, Destash Those Scraps

Cards, Xyron, How to, Tutorial, Paper crafting, Crafts, Diy, ToolsGabriela SimsComment

Hi everyone, Gabriela here today with a video that will help you destash your scraps. I have so many nice scraps from several Quick Quotes Collections that I hate to waste them, so here is a fun way to combine your scraps with a paper trimmer and die cutting to get a brand new look of patterned background paper.



I did a video for this technique because I thought that would be easier to follow than pictures. If you use this technique, you can make about a dozen cards in an hour. This technique would also work on a scrap page as a cool background accent, check out the video below.



I hope the video was easy to follow and that you have a great new way to use your scraps and make them brand new again. Thanks for stopping by.

Shell-Ebrate with Mermaids

Diy, Coloring, Paper crafting, Crafts, Quick Quotes, How to, Tutorial, Color, CardsGabriela SimsComment

Hi everyone, Gabriela here today with a card I made using the Anchors Aweigh Collection and a stamp I really love. I decided to make a mermaid themed card using the shell pattern from the Anchors Aweigh papers. I started with my stamp and then colored it in using my Copics.





Then I traced, colored and cut out my shell.



Then I used some of my chalking inks and a blender pen to color the top inside of the card.


I decided that I wanted to make the card a pop-up, so I attached some paper to both sides of the "shell" and attached the mermaid.




I added some glitter with my Wink of Stella pen in Clear.


Then I added some iridescent bubbles and did a little more blending on the inside.



Here is the final product.


I had a blast making this card and getting into this month's challenge! I hope you all do too!
