Colour Blast Kit Club | October 2018 Kit – Butterfly Stardust

Hey everyone!

I am here today sharing a round up of the projects I made using the October 2018 Colour Blast Kit called Butterfly Stardust.

To start off with here is my unboxing video if you’d like to see everything that comes in both the Kit and the Platinum Kit.

Those of you that do sub to the kit have been advised that there were delays so you should all have started to receive your kits by now and I hope you are enjoying the inspiration provided by us DT members and of course by the beautiful products contained in the kits! Especially with the ever so creative Michelle Grant being behind the exclusive designs!

If you are not a kit subscriber and would like more info or to sign up head over here where there is the complete listing of the kits and options available.

Last week I shared my first full step-by-step with a process video scrapbook page and the link for that video is below

And this is my finished project and a couple of close ups

This week (today in fact 😉 ) I am sharing my second full step-by-step with a process video art journal page and the link for that video is below

Here is my finished project and a couple of close ups

Lastly, I created a couple of extra pieces with some of the left overs. I set myself the challenge of using as much of the left overs as I could and I am so happy with the amount I managed to get onto projects!

First up a tag

And secondly a canvas

I think that between all of these projects this is maybe my fave. Maybe. I do love the scrapbook page I created though as well. Which is your fave???

I hope that you are enjoying your October kits and the projects I have shared with you. While you play with those I will be creating with the December kit 😉

I can’t wait to see your creations so make sure you share in the exclusive Kit Club group but, of course, you are more than welcome to share in the Colour Blast Creative Corner FB group as well!

Until next time, happy scrapping!!

{Colour Blast} More ~ My OLW for 2017

Hi there and thanks so much for stopping by for my 1st post for Colour Blast for 2017! I hope the new year finds you well!!

Today I am sharing a page I created using the very gorgeous 7 Dots Studio Cotton Candy Dreams range paired with Colour Blast products in Leather, Envy, Tangereen Dream and Mocha! I do have to also share that I was VERY inspired by one Anguree’s posts from December and ran with it!

And there is a process video if you’d like to see my page come together

First up a little stamping with my black archival ink on this gorgeous patterned paper

And next some Colour Paste in Tangereen Dream through a stencil

I quickly dried that off my heat tool and the next step was another stencil this time with Leather Colour Shimmer Spray

Then I did some splatters using the nozzles of some sprays – Envy Colour Shimmer Spray, Tangereen Dream Colour Shimmer Spray, Rainforest Colour Spray and Mocha Colour Spray.

I then left that to dry off naturally while I worked on my title. A very simple one word title “more” which I cut a few times on my cameo. I was unsure which size I wanted to use and ended up adding all 3 to my page!

I very simply sprayed that with Tangereen Dream Colour Shimmer Spray. I also sprayed the other 2 pieces a bit later when I decided I wanted to use those as layers.

Next up for a bit more colour I used the same stencil I used on the background and Tangereen Dream Colour Paste and applied that over the top of my word.

I had pulled out a few stickers from the Cotton Candy Dreams range which eluded to “find your wings and fly” so wanted to add in some butterflies. I grabbed stamp set, my versamark and also my Tangereen Dream Colour Embossing Powder and got to stamping and embossing. And, of course, fussy cutting 😉

At this point I decided I wanted to add in some chipboard so I grabbed this Dusty Attic piece from my stash and again went in with my versamark and embossing powder.

I started to assemble my layout here and this is when I decided to add in the extra words I had cut on my cameo but wanted a little more colour/depth to them so added on the Leather Colour Shimmer Spray through a stencil and love how they came out!

Finally I added in some very rough hand drawn lines around the border of my page using the Mocha Colour Spray nozzle.

And here is my completed page

And a few close ups

Just as a side note, the word “more” is the word that spoke to me for my take of One Little Word by Ali Edwards. I have included a tag behind my photo in a pocket which I will add some journalling to about what I hope 2017 brings for me!

It really is amazing where a little inspiration can take you! I had so much fun putting this page together. Next time you see something that catches your eye, make something – you may just love it or learn something in the process!!

Until next time!

Happy scrapping!
