MIXED MEDIA CARDS BY RUCHI’S CRAFETERIA FEAT.CAFFE ROMANZA PAPER COLLECTION

Hey there! Ruchi here from Ruchi’s Crafeteria and today I’m sharing a set of Mixed Media Cards using ‘Caffe Romanza’ paper collection.

 

I’ve created these cards with mixed media technique and gave them vintage look. Mix and match these beautiful Caffe Romanza pattern papers and fussy cut lots of elements from the element sheets which comes with the paper pack.

 

These cards are 6″x6″ in size and chose kraft cardstock for card base. Stamped and heat embossed in white some script using Crafter’s Companion- Vintage Chic stamp set.

 

Fussy cut some flowers, tags, sentiments which came along with the pack. Arranged and layered them on my card panel along with Prima flowers, burlap lace, Mudra chipboards ans sequins, pollen, die cuts, Expressions Craft- Alaska Gold glitters.

 

 

For my another card, I’ve cut another paper from the pack and distressed the edges using Tim Holtz edge distressing tool and applied Walnut Stain distress ink.

 

 

This time I’ve stamped the script using Broken China-Distress Oxide and heat embossed in clear.

 

Stamped some vintage fall leaves using same Walnut Stain distress ink and fussy cut them. Again used some Prima flowers, Mudra chipboards, Expressions Craft Alaska Gold glitter and Deco Stones, some half pearls and metal charms.

 

 

 

I’ve stamped this butterfly on one of Caffe Romanza paper using Walnut Stain distress ink and Crafter’s Companion stamp, and heat embossed in clear. Really liking the out came 🙂

Mixed Media Layout by Tanya Cloete, feat. Roseate Paper Collection

Hello dear Bob n Betty friends.

Today I’m sharing a Mixed Media Layout featuring the gorgeous Roseate Collection. I have incorporated the matching decoupage papers into the layering. These decoupage papers are so pretty and so versatile.

Here are the instructions you may use to recreate such a project

1. Add some colour to the background on one of the sheets in the Roseate Collection using some white gesso and Impasto paints.

2. Add texture randomly using a stencil and white crackle texture paste.

3. Add paint splatters randomly over the page.

4. Cut a few die cut shapes from the collection sheets and decoupage papers to form the layering of the composition.

5. Emboss the chipboard pieces with embossing powders.

6. Fussy cut a few elements from the collection sheets.

7. Arrange the rest of the embellishments as per the picture or as you like.

8. Add some buttons and sequins for the finishing touch.

9. All done!

Thanks!

Kind Regards/Vriendelike Groete,

Tanya

Today, I’d like to share Two Mixed Media Cards designed using the new & absolutely gorgeous Roseate Paper Collection.

Mixed Media Cards

Card 1: Love & Laughter

Card 2: Peace, Love & Happiness

Pictorial:

1. Cut 2 pattern papers from the Roseate Paper Collection into 4.5 by 6.5 inches in size & then distress their edges with a paper distresser, darken the edges with ink to better define the edges & apply clear gesso on these panels

2. Mix modelling paste with pigment powders and then apply the coloured pastes through stencils onto the prepared panels using a palette knife

3. To add interest to the background, stamp using matching ink colors and also add some more color (and splatters) to the background using the same pigment powders & distress ink

4. Fussy cut some of the beautiful images from the Roseate Paper Collection, these will be our embellishments

5. Finally, gather some more elements like thread, lace, pearls, gauze, resin frames etc that may be needed while layering. For these cards, I decided to go simple & use only the fussy cut elements and some golden thread, adding some of the elements with 3d foam tape for added dimension. In the end, added some black and white ink splatter & perfect pearls.

Hi friends 🙂

Preeti Datta (aka Dutt Preety) here. Hope you are doing well.

Today, I’d like to share a Mixed Media Layout titled “Memories”.  I was inspired by the cute child’s photo who reminded me of my own niece when she was little. I’ve used papers from the totally adorable “Little Wonderland” Scrapbook Papers Collection. This paper pack is perfect for all children’s themed projects including cards, scrapbooks, canvases, party decorations like banners, gift boxes etc My wonderfully talented team mates and I have shared lots of projects in the past few months using these papers, so I highly recommend you to check those & try out some of the designs & techniques shared 🙂

Mixed Media Layout- Memories

Here are some close-up photos:

Process:

1. One of the papers from the Little Wonderland Collection was taken as the base. It was torn a little from all 4 sides, distressed and darkened with grey ink. Then this was adhered to a 12 by 12 size sheet of heavy white card stock. Stitch stamping was done in the gaps created to give a textured look and add interest to the page.
2. Clear gesso was applied on the scrapbook paper to prep it for mixed media work. Then light paste was added through a stencil in different areas of the page, to prepare the background and add texture.
3. To add color to the page, light colors (blue and yellow) of Ink sprays were added, movement was created with drips.
4. Background stamping was done with grey archival inks.
5. Photo mats and frames were created with die cuts of papers from the Little Wonderland Collection and white card stock.
6. Few elements were fussy cut from the Little Wonderland Collection
7. All the elements for layering were gathered and adhered to the page in a visually pleasing composition. Elements included fussy cut images, sentiments, twines, thread & flowers. To add dimension, some of the elements were adhered with 3d foam tape.
8. The project was embellished with few buttons & to add additional texture and shine, a mixture of mini & regular art stones, silver sequins & soft matte gel was applied to various places on the page.
9. In the end, some heavy white gesso was applied to the elements using the dry brushing technique and a few ink splatters were created.

Mixed Media Layout by Niharika Gupta, feat. Decoupage Specialty Papers

Hi dear crafty friends,

I am not a decoupage artist but every time Bob n Betty comes up with a new release in Decoupage specialty papers, my heart skips a beat with the beautiful gorgeous designs. I cannot resist using them in scrapbooks or layouts. And so here I am with a new post, a layout on canvas using a sheet from the new Meadows collection.

I loved the flowers on this paper, and the butterflies are so magical. The moment I saw this design, this photograph was the first thing I thought of. This is one of my favorite pictures from our beach outings and I am so happy with the output.
The decoupage specialty papers are neither too thin, nor too thick and hence they are suitable for all types of projects. I just fussy cut the flowers and butterflies and layered them with minimal embellishments for this layout.

over to the pictures…

I hope you like it and find it inspiring. I am preparing for my summer break now and I hope you all have a crafty summer too.

Love & Hugs, Niharika.

Decoupage Mixed Media Canvas by Tanvi featuring Decopatch papers

Hello Friends!

This is Tanvi here! I am loving the new range of decopatch papers – very high quality 50gsm papers, a dream for all decoupage artists. You can check my previous posts with this awesome release here & here.

These papers are very thin & blend easily into the background to give a seamless finish, they truly do! Check the canvas I share today –

Stay with me as I take you through the steps to combine decoupage & mixed media to create unique wall decor for your homes.

The USP of these papers is the ease with which you can use them on surfaces, just like rice papers & tissues. To highlight this I started by creating a textured base for the 12×12 canvas.

Next I fussy cut a section (OLD WORLD CHARM sheet) & also some elements from the FLORAL ADORNMENTS sheet.

I decided on the layout & decoupaged them on the textured canvas.

Here is a close up to show how easily it blends on the textured background.

Next I colored the canvas with coordinating chalk paints.

Some random stencilling & stamping over the textures –

 

To add some more textures I stenciled clear crackle paste on the edges & added some paste with the palette knife too.

To finish the canvas I splattered acrylic paint.  The Crackle paste dries clear over the textures to reveal the background through. the cracks, perfect for the image I selected! Spray with acrylic varnish to seal the canvas.

You can grab these papers from any of our Sales Buddies   &  share your gorgeous creations using Bob n Betty papers with us on our facebook group Bob n Betty Buddies. 

Thank you for visiting & happy crafting!
