This month I was inspired by the beautiful vintage inspired Webster’s Pages papers and embellishments.  As soon as I saw these papers, I just knew that I needed to do a layout from one of my favorite pictures of my mom.  I used Bubbles Glimmer Mist on the blue pattern paper to give just a hint a glimmer and shine.  I used Vintage Pink Glimmer Mist on the pink pattern paper and then spritzed Crushed Shells for the journaling.  I painted Vintage Pink Glimmer Mist on the Webster’s Page Cameo and added glitter.  It fit perfectly in the Glimmer Glass accent.  For the Framed Fonts Postage Stamp Chipboard frame I used a combination of Crushed Shells, Vintage Pink and Viva Pink.

The nature pictures of the Webster’s Pages inspired me use the new Custom Cut-Outs Paper Tags – Rockin’ Renaissance tag to create a bird tag.  I had a great time creating this tag using Crushed Shells and Chocolate Covered Cherry.  I used the fun, new Ir-Resist-ible Chips – VaVa Victorian Bird.  I just loved when I sprayed on the Glimmer Mist and then wiped off it reveals the pattern.  I then combined Glimmer Glass, vintage pearls, lace and twigs complete this fun and easy tag.

Since it is February, the month for lovers, I decided to make a fun simple decoration using Timeless Romance Glimmer Screen and heat embossed the heart design with the Timeless Romance Screen Prints – Clear Stamps.  I then stamped on the vintage album page with the sames stamp set.  I just love the vintage inspired postcard and stamp designs.

I then used the Vintage Pink Glimmer Mist to dye the twill and flowers.  I then used more the the Ir-Resistable Chips – VaVa Reniasance Rose and Heart chipboard.  Just look at the pattern and detail in them!

I then glimmered the Framed Fonts Postage Stamp frame with Crushed Shells and Chocolate Covered Cherry Glimmer Mist.  I then added vintage buttons and lace to finish.  I have enjoyed being inspired by beautiful papers and fun, new product.

I hope you are inspired to create soon.

Hi Everyone! This is Susan and I’ve got quite a few Tattered Angels and Webster’s Pages projects to share with you today, using the new CHA releases of course!

First up, here’s a layout I created using the lovely new Timeless Romance collection and Webster’s Pages Sweet As Cherry Pie papers.

I misted directly onto the patterned paper, using the Timeless Romance heart glimmer screen with Rose Tea and Tutti Frutti. I then stamped the new postcard frame from the Timeless Romance clear stamps as a frame for my photo.

I’ve used the new Timeless Romance Calling Cards in the cluster to the right of the photo. I misted the entire card with Old Lace, then painted in the roses and leaves with Scarlet and Lime Twist.

The title alphas are from the new Postage Stamps Framed Fonts. I misted these with Iridiscent Gold to give them a glint of shimmer while retaining the original ivory shade, and outlined the alphas in Lime Twist.

Webster’s Pages papers are great for cutting out and here you can see the dimensionality I created with the lace and cut-outs.

Next up is this altered tag which I just completed yesterday and I love the shabby-chic feel of it. These Tailored Tags are new from Tattered Angels and their size is perfect for altering.

I misted the tag with Lemon Grass, Caribbean Blue, Burnt Red and Vintage Pink, then cut out the bird and leaves images from the very pretty Postcards from Paris paper.

I added a lace trim in ecru, a velvet green ribbon and a pleated brown satin ribbon to the tag, and set that off with a custom-coloured flower. I wanted the flower to match the tag perfectly, so I misted the originally-white flower in Moonlight.

To complete the tag, I added a Glimmer Glass dragonfly from the Nature collection as well as some lace trims and a pearl brad to the top of the tag.

I designed the tag with a pocket so you can slip in a little message or greeting into the pocket. Here, I’ve slipped in a Paper Tag from the new Rockin’ Renaissance collection.

The next few projects I created for CHA Winter. This next one is a shadow box I created using Webster’s Pages Postcards from Paris papers.

I misted the background cardstock in the new Hula Hoop and Water Slide shades, over a large grand-scale Glimmer Screen from the Garden Collection.

Here you can see the different layers I’ve created from the use of lace, cut-outs from the patterned paper and chipboard. The title “Winter Berry” sits on the new Postage Stamp Framed Font chipboard frame, which I misted with the new Dazzling Diamonds. I love this new mist. All the glimmer without the colour.   To complete the garden feel, I added in a glimmer glass bird and a glimmer glass flourish corner.

Here’s the project from another angle so you can see the shadow box effect.

A romantic card next, with flowers, sheer ribbons, lace and Magical Wishes paper from Webster’s Pages.

The lock and key are a Glimmer Chip and Glimmer Glass from the Regal collection. I misted the lock chip in Flower Power and Vintage Pink, allowing the raised embossed details to show through, which I then highlighted with some stickles.

I wanted the flower to stand out so opted to keep it in its original ivory shade, but liberally misted with Dazzling Diamonds and Iridescent Gold so the glimmer would catch the sunlight.

Finally, here’s an altered canvas I created using the new Seaside Collection and Graphic 45’s new On The Boardwalk papers.

Glimmer Mists work really well on canvas. I misted the canvas in Caribbean Blue and Sunshine over the new On The Beach Glimmer Screen.

And one of my favourite mists this season – Dazzling Diamonds on the Prima flower and Dazzling Diamonds and Bubbles on the Seaside glimmer chip shell.
 

I misted this chipboard heart with Candy Apple Red and crackle glazed it. The patterned paper’s from Graphic 45’s new On The Boardwalk collection. Love the vintage images.

This seahorse glimmer glass is part of the new Sea Glass collection. I also dabbed on some of the new Glimmer Glaze in Emerald Cove on the top left corner with a paint brush. I used the new Crushed Shells glimmer mist on the manila tag, misting over another new glimmer screen from the Under The Sea collection.

Jon the rest of the design team for all of February as we show you more of what we’ve created using the brand new Tattered Angels releases, as well as Webster’s Pages.

Have a great week!

Susan

Hi everyone! If you were able to attend CHA, hope you have recovered  Are you all looking forward to the new products hitting the stores as much as I am!  Especially the TA Glitter Glam, I can’t wait for all of the colors of that to be available! If you haven’t seen it yet, there is a link on the TA website homepage for a 2010 catalogue, where you can see all of the upcoming colors for Glitter Glam as well as all of the other new products coming your way.

For my January project, I worked with the Frosty Glimmer Glass Album. However, I modified a bit to make into a nonseasonal album that I’m giving to friends of mine that are moving to Seattle today. Going to miss them bunches…

The layout of the album is basically a theme per page. I left all the journal cards blank so my friends can write what they want to remember about each of the events documented in the photos. In addition to the photo pages, I included some envelopes that have hand-written notes from me and some of their other friends. 

For the backgrounds I used a mix of patterned paper and glimmer misted sheets. The patterned paper is all from My Minds Eye and the glimmer mist colors are Sand, Crushed Shells, Meadow Green, Turquoise Blue, Suede, Twilight, Coffee Shop and Candy Apple Red. The paper in these albums is very nice, it really holds up to a lot of Glimmer Mist application.

I placed all of the photos into frames from the Pocket Watch Framed Font Set and the new Postage Stamp Frames Font Set. I just cut the little knobs off of the pocket watch frames to make them plain circles. I sprayed all of the frames with Dazzling Diamonds and Pearl.

The embellishments are from K &Company’s new Blossomwood Collection, My Minds Eye, Making Memories and Mark Richards. When I was done the book end ed up being so thick I decided to bind it with string instead of putting it back into the orginal wire coil binding. 

Well, that’s it for me today, for February the Design Team is working with Webster’s Pages and I’m sure you are going to see more of the new products in use as well, so check back often!  Take care and thanks for stopping by today.  Patty

One of my friends just had her winter birthday. I know her taste is sometimes funky and I also know that she being a Mom to a little one year old boy and is working so she has not much time to do something for herself. So I had the idea of giving her a small funky journal in which she could write her thoughts and so spent some “me”-time. The Frosty Memories Window Album was just perfect to work with!

I used the Rose Moka Grunge Papers which are a perfect fit for the Glimmer Mists and Tattered Angels Stamps. On the left side I attached the paper and sprayed and stamped and the right side I usually used the Journaling stamp from the Notes from the Garden Stampset.

Supplies: Tattered Angels: Frosty Memories Window Album, Notes from the Garden Stampset, Glimmer Mist, Nature Field Notes Stampset, Nature In Flight Stampset, Nature Graceful Journey Stampset, Tattered Traveler Compass Stampset, Regal Alpha Framed Fonts, Nature Butterfly Framed Fonts, Frosty Memories Glimmer Glass, Elegant Emblems Glimmer Screens.

And as an extra I created a gift tag

I used some Ranger Crackle Glossy Accents on the embossed parts of the Chip Tile – I love the effect.

Wishing you a wonderful day!

Hi Jamie here I was lucky enough to get to design with the Tattered Traveler Album. I decided to dive into some older photos of my sisters and I .  I love the round shape of the album. It gives you so much room to design on. I first chose the colors and paper I was going to use. Then went from there.

I chose not to use the Clear overlay this time. But now I can use it on another project. On the cover I used Sunflower, Meadow Green, Lemon Zest, and Iridescent Gold.  I took one of the Garden Blossom stencil as a stamp with green meadow.  I colored the Prima white roses with Starfish.  The bow I washed with Vintage Pink to give it a pink hue.  The Letters of the title are from the butterfly font chipboard, sprayed with Starfish and covered with rock candy stickles.

On these next pages I used Star fish and Meadow Green. I used a journaling card from the family set. Sprayed with Candlelight.  I hand painted the bingo card with turquoise blue, candlelight, sunflower, suede, and Meadow Green.

I colored the lace to match the page. I used Dreamsicle and Red Velvet. Then made them into flowers. The background is Sunflower and Vintage Pink. I used another of the Garden Blossom masks. The little owl is from the Nature embossed series.

Oh the laughs of this picture LOL. Anyways…. I sprayed the background with candlelight and Meadow Green. I then used one of the masks as a stamp.  Also one of the butterfly font frames as a picture corner.

Last but not least. I used Dreamsicle  and Red Velvet. Using the Garden Blossom mask as a mask and stamp.  The butterflies Are from the Nature embossed collection.  Hand painted.  I painted the journal card with the glimmer mist as well.

All of the PP used on this book were Sassafras Lass. The Flowers are Prima.

I had so much fun looking through old photos and creating a wonderful keepsake.   Thank You for checking out the Tattered Angels Blog. Have a wonderful weekend. And those of you traveling to CHA have a safe trip and hope to see you there. Don’t forget to check out Tattered Angels new products.

Hi! This is Anabelle and I’m really excited to share a project I made for a friend who was recently engaged.  I had the chance to work with the Tattered Traveler album this month. I paired it with some lovely new colors and some products from the Timeless Romance line.

After watching the video with Heidi Swapp, I was inspired to use a lot of color saturation. I removed the pages from the ablum and started spritzing.

The three colors that I used throughout the album were Peppermint Stick, Coral Reef and Tutti Fruiti. (The last two are NEW colors!) For the cover, I sprayed all three and wiped them off with a paper towel to give the deep, smooth saturation of color.  I used one of the Regal glimmer screens to create the frame. I sprayed Peppermint stick onto the screen which was laying on my Glimmer Mat. Then, I removed the screen, leaving the reverse image and laid the white cardstock onto it. I love the effect it has. I added and True Romance Calling Card allong with some other embellishments. Note the key and my friends initials on the spine of the album.

I used the heart Glimmer Screen from the Timeless Romance set to create the image on the inside cover.  And I used the Regal Glimmer Screen as the background for their initials.

The rest of the pages allow her to add pictures and to write about her engagment and her fiance.

I sprayed some white flowers with the Glimmer Mist and stamped on some of them.

I used a Timeless Romance Calling Card on this page.

I’m so excited for my friend and hope she enjoys saving all of her memories in this album. Thanks for stopping by!

We interrupt all of these lovely albums for a Tattered Angels Sneak Peek! So many new goodies to show in this little project.

First, wouldn’t we all enjoy stamps that fit into the Framed Fonts pocket watch? Well, look out for them in the Time Traveler stamp set!

Isn’t this little car cute??? I know I’ll be stamping this one a bunch!!!! Looks great against the Suede Glimmer Mist.

How about some Vintage Hardware???

And finally, did you notice the big patterned tag that I layered all of this yumminess on? Look out for Tailored Tags-a wonderful canvas for Glimmer Glaze and Glam!

More to come!

Hello everyone!  I’m excited to be with you today as I have a special project to share with you…one using the Nature Glimmer Glass Window Album.  Mini albums are right up there at the top of my most favorite things to create….something about their small, compact nature and the way they look filled to the brim and ready to pop that make me love them so. 

I sat creating this with my little one right by me coaching me along…this is just for her.  She has always been a great little journal-keeper….since she was tiny, I’d give her a place to record her drawings, her ABC’s…anything her heart desired.  Now looking back we have a couple of journals filled with her creations and it is fun to look at how she has grown in her education and learning…she now fills her diary with songs, stories, letters, what she is learning at school, etc.  So, I thought it was time to let her write her own story….I want to hear in her own words what she remembers and knows about her sweet life this far. 

I matted the window with cream tulle to create a touch of softness before painting and then adhering the Glimmer Glass butterfly in the opening.  Then added a painted and glittered Glimmer Glass butterfly included in the kit on top of the window and added dimension by bending up the wings and finished it off by adding a flower and button.

The Creme de Rouge Regal Glimmer Chips added perfect touches throughout the album.  Here I’ve distressed and glittered the large frame from this set to create the title page for the album. 

I think our story is worth telling….of course it is my favorite of all time.  It was important to give her areas to include her journaling, so I attached notebook pages taken from a Melissa Frances die cut notebook…they look so beautiful paired with the Tattered Angels products. 

I used my favorite Decorative Corner Glimmer Screens with coordinating Regal Classic Accent stamp.

The Glimmer Chips are so fun to use as accents and to also help create little mini focal points such as this photo corner that I used to create the roof of a house.

 Lastly, adding a bit of shimmer to the butterflies on the tabs added to the sweet, baby theme and was such a fun way to finish off the page.

The Glimmer Mist colors I used throughout are some of my very most favorite shabby picks…they include Rose Tea, Creme de Cocoa, and Patina.

I love adding trim and ribbon along the edges of my pages…it’s a fun way to bring these elements in and add to the sweet, feminine feel of the album.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Happy New Year everyone!

All this month, the designers will be showing off what you can create with the Tattered Angels albums. I got to play with the Garden Journal Album, which is so pretty with the embossed image of a tree on the cover and glimmer glass gate.

For the cover, I decided to create an image of a sunrise in the park, inspired by a photograph I saw of a sunrise.

I inked the tree in different shades of green, then misted the entire cover in shades of Sunflower and Peach Delight for the sunrise, and shades of Juneberry Wine and Fully Purple for the dawn sky. I love how the glimmer mists shimmer in the sunlight, giving off glints of gold wherever they catch the light.

This mini album is about our recent holiday to New York and the cover reminds me of Central Park, aptly.

The cover opens up to reveal a gatefold.

I carefully misted the butterfly screen onto the two gatefold pages, taking care so that when the two pages were closed, the butterfly image would line up perfectly. I used Cranberry Zing and English Ivy on these pages. My title sits on a Framed Font chipboard lightly inked in lilac and adorned with matching hyacinths.

If you open up the gatefolds, you will see that I continued the butterfly screen misting across the right and left pages too. Here you see what the right page looks like when it’s opened up:

And this is how the album looks with the gatefold open and the centre page showing through. 

On this page, I misted the page with the same shades as the gatefold pages so that all three pages flowed right across. I continued the butterfly theme with punched out butterflies flitting across my mini layout, complemented by patterned paper in the same green and purple hues and a touch of pretty lace.

For the next page, I played with the compass glimmer screen and misted the page in Peach Delight and Pashmina, picking up the hues from the photograph of us in Times Square. And it being Times Square, I stamped an image of a clockface right onto the compass. The stamp and the glimmer screen lined up perfectly, as all coordinated glimmer screens and stamps will.

This next photo has a Christmas-sy feel about it so I selected glimmer mists in red (Peppermint Stick) and green (Forest Green) to give it that festive feel. I carelessly misted the red mist here, there and everywhere, then filled in the rest of the page with green. To add to the holiday cheer, I outlined the glimmer screen image with stickles in a cheery Christmas red. I kept the page simple, with just a little embellishment in the corner.

So those were some pages from my Garden Journal Album. I hope you liked the album because I had a lot of fun creating it.

Have a great week ahead!

Merry Christmas friends.  Recently I was sent the Victorian Christmas Glimmer Kit to work with and today I get to show you what became of this beautiful kit…there is so much to love about the embellishments, papers, colors, and even the shape of the album that is all put together for ease and convenience…..so, let’s get started.  I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorite techniques with you as we go along…

My goal with this kit was to create a winter-y, sparkly feel…something perfectly suited to it’s Victorian theme.  The first thing I did to begin to take it down it’s glimmer-y path was to paint the transparent cover with cream acrylic paint.  I let the paint dry just a bit and wiped a bit of it away and towards the outer edges leaving a distressed and aged look there.  Next was to coat the cover with spray adhesive and lightly sprinkle on Mica Flakes followed by Wheatfields Glimmer Mist.

I then took my Glimmer Screen and coated it with spray adhesive, flocking powder, more spray adhesive, and then topped it with Mica Flakes.  A simple misting of Forest Green and Wheatfields Glimmer Mist turned it into an icy, clear focal point to place in the center of my cover.

I added patterned paper to the center of the Glimmer Screen to make a nice base for my chipboard letters and then started piling them on along with some embellishments included in the kit followed by a vintage label and holly leaves and berries I had here at home.

I dressed up the spiral binding on the album by tying a double bow from the gingham and red tulle included in the kit along with tying strips of torn fabric, attaching a rusty old jingle bell, and stringing on a vintage tag from my stash.

Now on we go to the inside of the album.  I love grouping and clumping embellishments especially when you have a large surface to work with.  It kind of draws you in and gives you a focal point, not to mention it also allows for empty space where you can attach a photo or include your journaling.

 Each of my inner pages is misted with a bit of the Forest Green Glimmer Mist…I love the splotches it leaves behind….so beautiful. 

Another fun technique I love to use over and over again is stamping…use your stamps….let them enhance and compliment the feel of your design.  They fill in gaps and add character. 

A fun way to make your supplies stretch is to cut or punch shapes from your patterned paper.  I kept a consistent shape going throughout my album…stars for Christmas…and attached them to the chipboard pieces using safety pins included in the kit with a bit of cording.

One more of my favorite things to incorporate is that of adding vintage touches such as images, postcards, tags, stickers, etc….if you have old greeting cards lying around, this is the perfect time to use them….you’ll love them even more when you include them in a keepsake such as this.  It’s great place to highlight them and store them for the future.I have many pages to go here on my Joy Album, but now that I have my supplies gathered and my ideas drawn out…it will be a snap.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Enjoy your holidays!

Melissa
