Hi everyone, Gabriela here today with a layout that has some fun movable parts! I wanted to make a page that was a little bit masculine, but still sweet.


I started by choosing my photos first, since I knew I wanted one main picture and three smaller ones. This page takes a little time and it requires buttons, check out the video below.

Hi everyone, Gabriela here with a video tutorial about ways to use your PowderPuff Chalking Inks. I typically use inks for distressing edges, but there are many other ways to use them. I will be showing how to make a patterned background using a few paper stencils and some ink blenders.

My first post for Quick Quotes, On the Fence

Cards, Color, Diy, How to, Paper crafting, Quick Quotes, Supplies, TutorialGabriela SimsComment

Hello everyone Gabriela here with my first project for Quick Quotes. First let me say that I am delighted to be joining this talented group and I am really looking forward to the year!

This is a sweet card that could be a Valentine's Day card or just a card to say I love you.



I started with Farmhouse 104


I cut a piece to A2 size, 4.25" x 5.5" and then added the scallops to make a fence by tracing the bottom of a small container.




Then I used Powder Puff Inks on my craft mat with a water brush to add some aging to the fence. Shown here are Mahogany, Milk Chocolate, and Navy.

I pressed the ink pad onto my craft mat and then used a water brush to pick up color.




Then I cut out 3 small banners from a Words & Phrases sheet and inked the edges.


Then I punched holes in the tops and threaded them onto a piece of  ribbon. Then I applied double sided tape and cut a semi-circle out of one of the fence panels to make it look more real.


I decided to ink a background that would show behind the fence just a little. I used heavy weight white card stock for my base.  I wanted it to look like the sky, so I used Navy, Seabrook, and Aqua inks.





After seeing it, I decided it needed some grass, so I took a scrap piece of white card stock and inked it up using Green Leaf.


I drew some grass blades and then fussy cut the whole thing.




I attached the grass and that completed the card.


I hope this inspires you to have some fun with your supplies, happy crafting!
