Kelly's Tutorial Videos with the July Kit

Hello everyone!  

It's Kelly here to share some techniques from my July kit layouts.  I was so inspired by this kit, that I created two tutorial videos for you!

First, let's take a look at my vintage wedding layout and the techniques I used in my design.

On the reveal and blog hop day, I posted a video that showed a fast forward on how I designed this layout.  You can click HERE to see that video.

I created a tulle and pearl border around the heart

I scattered the tiny pearls for a 'confetti' effect.

I made a tulle flower base for the other kit blooms.

Here is a video that shows how I made this easy tulle flower:

My second layout with the July kit is also a vintage design, using a photo of my mother's cousin:

The small butterfly balloons are punched from the cork sheet with a Martha Stewart punch:

I glittered the edges and adhered black twine beneath each one.

The larger cork butterfly beneath the journaling strips is cut from a Sizzix die with my Big Shot.

I painted the kit leaves and glittered them too.

You can see that I cut the Pink Paislee journaling cards into frames and popped them up with 3D foam squares, then layered stamped vellum behind.  

In the next video, you will see how I used the kit's Prima stamp and Smooch together to make this title as well...

You can click on the centre of the video to watch it now, or click HERE to watch it on YouTube.

Although this is my final blog post and video for the ScrapThat! Design Team, I will continue to make videos and blog tutorials on my own personal sites "Kelly Creates" and YouTube Channel.

I've really enjoyed being a part of the ScrapThat! Team, sharing my designs and techniques... and will continue to stop by here to be inspired!

Embossed Metal Technique with Kelly Klapstein

Hello Everyone!

It's Kelly here with you today to share an easy and wonderful technique about embossing metal.

In the June kit are a couple of metal embellishments:  Maya Road butterflies...

...and a standard office document clip...

I altered both with my own Stampendous "Frantage" Aged Embossing Enamels.

I used Ivory to alter the clip and the Copper to alter the butterflies.

Here is a video tutorial I made that shows you how I transformed these metal elements:

I hope you are enjoying your June kit as much as I am!

Video Feather Tutorial by Kelly Klapstein

Mixed Media Video Tutorial by Lynn Shokoples, Featured April Guest Designer

Morning Everyone! It's Lynn today and I'm sharing a tutorial with you on how I did the background on my layout using some Crafters Workshop Stencils, Modeling Paste, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and some Lindy's Stamp Gang Mists. Now this is the first ever photo/video tutorial I have done so I hope you like it! 

This layout was done using the April Main Kit and the Embellishment Add-On Kit. Once I was done spraying the background, I just had to add a little to the flowers!

Now here's the video!!

Thanks everyone for letting me share my tutorial and hope your all having a wonderful day!
