BAP with Amarilys

Amarilys here and today I want to share with you a BAP. Now, I took a lot of pictures along the way so bear with me. I didn't want you to miss anything! :)

So, let's get started!


Step 1. Distress your pattern paper with the Tim Holtz distressing tool.


Step 2. Tear random areas around the page and crumble with your fingers the corners.


Step 3. Trim a 12"x1.5" strip of typography paper, distress the edges with the tool and cut to size to fit under the torn areas from the blue background paper.


Step 4. Using the Tim Holtz blending tool and Vintage Photo distress ink, ink the edges of all the papers.


Step 5. Adhere the strips of typography papers to the back of the blue paper, making sure that the sides alight correctly.


Step 6. Adhere your pattern paper unto a black cardstock and machine stitch the edges.


Step 7. Trim the same typography paper to 9"x7.5" and repeat the distressing process that you did for the background on this paper too. Machine stitch this layer unto the center of the layout.


Step 8. Add lace and a strip of pastern paper over the typography paper as shown.


Step 9. Add your black and white photo over the center and tuck in a white doily and two fuzzy cut clocks on the left and right side of the picture.


Step 10. To start forming the clusters, add a few larger flowers to the bottom right corner and to the left of the picture. Add a bling flourish under the picture as well.


Step 11. Add the smaller flowers now as well as the film to the right side of the picture.


Step 12. Die cut, stamp and shape a bunch of green leaves using the Rose Creations Shapeabilities and the Heartfelt Creations Botanical Florals 2 Precut Stamp Set.


Step 13. Add the leaves to the cluster to fill the area.


Step 14. Add a bow to the right corner cluster, a few butterflies randomly around the page, and a title sticker on the bottom left side of the picture. Add a strip of pearls as a corner on the top right corner of the picture. Finally, add stickles to the fuzzy cut flowers on the clocks, and on the butterflies.

Here's my finished layout:

ScrapThat August Creations by Amarilys Doria

Amarilys here today sharing with you the projects that I made with the July Kit "Summer in my Garden". I managed to make 3 layouts, a card and a tag!

My first layout is based on my August Sketch Challenge:


and here's my take on it:


I used the Main Kit and the Embellishment add-on for this layout. The doily, which I glimmer misted in brown, is from my stash. For this layout, I went with a blue/brown color palette. I water distressed the background pattern paper and layer it over a punched white cardstock (from my stash) and over another blue pattern paper which I mounted unto a brown cardstock (from my stash as well). I did some more die cutting and stamping on this layout too. The picture is from this year's Valentine's Day, which we celebrated the day after because my hubby worked, hence the blue/brown color combo instead of the red/pink traditional Valentine's Day colors.

Here are a few close ups:




Below is my second layout:

For this layout, I only used the Main Kit. The white doily is from my stash and the blue alphas in the title are from the June Kit. These pictures were taken at our new home, out in the Jacuzzi. I love how soft and summery this layout turned out! I handmade my own flowers and leaves using Heartfelt Creations dies.

Here are a few close ups:




Finally, here's my last layout:

I used the Main Kit and the Embellishment Add On for this layout. This layout is based on Kaisercraft's  Saturday July Sketch #2 and I used a picture of my mom last year. She is not very photogenic so this one is one of the best ones I had of her. :)

I traced the diecut paper that is included int his month's kit unto this pink paper and cut around it to make my own die cut paper. I made some roses out of the brown pattern paper and made a little banner using the rub-ons, alphas and a piece of hemp cord from my stash.

Here are a few close ups:
