What can I say...Want to Scrap has some really fun products and best of all, they work so well with Authentique.

I created this card because I love the Nestaboard from Want 2 Scrap.  I love the fact that it comes with matching bling...the Nestabling!  I used the new Irresistible Collection.  The combination of Want 2 Scrap and Authentique's Irresistible is perfect for this romantic card I created.

I left my Nestaboard in the natural craft color because I wanted it to stand out.  Fabulous huh?  What will you created using Want 2 Scrap and Authentique?  

Products Used:

Authentique Paper:  Irresistible Collection: 6x6 Bundle #IRR007, Formal #IRR002 and Passion #IRR06

When I saw the little chipboard Fleur de Lis Nestaboard, and matching Nestabling, I knew that I wanted to include them in a layout somehow. I had this adorable little iPhone pic of my two little girls being quiet and sweet together, and have wanted to scrap another version of it for awhile.

To start, I cropped the photo so that it was slightly larger than the background of the largest of the Fleur de Lis Nestaboard. Then I added the matching Fleur de Lis Nestabling, but instead of adding the separate pearls to the middles, I used the Self Adhesive Pink Pearls in the smallest size. I wanted to bring in another soft color to tie in the die cuts.

For the title, I took the Adore Fancy Chipboard and used my Memento in Tuxedo Black to cover it. This way, I was able to tie together the black pearls from the Nestabling. Then I cut a White Pearl Swirl in a few pieces and added that to the title.

A few of the die cuts, a puzzle piece, and a small piece of the Grace Collection finished off my layout. To make the "heartwarming" die cut show more, I used Glossy Accents on it.

Seasonal Patriotic Decor with Pride

Authentique Paper and Want2Scrap are teaming up this week to bring you tons of inspiration using Authentique Paper and Want2Scrap products!

Hi everyone, it's Audrey, here today with a home decor project featuring lots of fun products from Want2Scrap, our special cross promotional product partner here on the Authentique blog this week.

 I am a big fan of making holiday and seasonal decorations for my home, and with Memorial Day coming up this weekend, I've been wanting to add a few patriotic pieces to my decor. Perfect time to pair these fun chipboard shapes from Want2Scrap with Authentique's new Americana line, Pride, to create a little holiday frame accent for my front entryway table.

Creating your own holiday decorations is easy and fun. Here's all you need to do.

Begin by painting the chipboard shapes with white acrylic paint, and once dry, ink the edges of both pieces. For the larger shape, I added a touch of color to the scallops, but the smaller shape just got a light edging with brown ink.

If you'd like to blend the ink together, here's a super easy tip. Simply wet your finger and run it across the inks. Doesn't really work on paper, but does the trick for painted surfaces.

Hand-cut or die cut a circle of blue star patterned paper from the 6x6 Paper Bundle to fit the inside of the smaller chipboard shape. Lightly distress and ink the edge and machine stitch using red thread for a decorative touch. Adhere the paper circle to the center of the chipboard shape.

Die cut a circular tag from polka dotted patterned paper and edge with brown ink. Adhere ruffled trim to the back of the tag.

Affix the tag to the chipboard shape using foam adhesive for dimension. Tie trim through the hole at the top of the tag.

Dip the back of the Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness cardstock sticker from the Details sticker sheet into mica glitter. Adhere sticker onto a die cut, then apply both to the chipboard shape using foam adhesive for dimension.

Embellish with Want2Scrap adhesive pearls and rhinestones. Add a button to the center of the bow.

Adhere the embellished chipboard shape onto the larger chipboard piece using foam adhesive.

Cut a rectangle from the leftover chipboard packaging and adhere it to the back of the frame using a small strip of Want2Scrap canvas sheet. The canvas is flexible enough that the stand can move and lay flat for easy storage.

Enjoy!

Hi everyone! Loes here today to share this fabulous gate fold mini album from Want2Scrap. 

I love all of the detail on the cover of this mini album. It's reminded me of a fancy gate, so I made two fasteners on the front so you can open the "gate" and look inside of the mini album.

Because the pages are smaller, I cut the photo in half. 

The Seasons: Spring collection is a petite collection, but there are so many little elements in this collection that you can create your own embellishments.

I ink all of the edges of the mini album with an ink blusher tool to give a nice soft look. 

On the last page, I fussy cut the umbrella and banner out of the 12 x 12 paper and used foam tape for more dimension.

Authentique: Seasons: Spring Collection 12 x 12 papers, element stickers

Want2Scrap: Ivy Gates Chipboard Album

Petaloo: Flowers
Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko: Memento Bamboo Leaves, Ink Blushers
Hampton art: Authentique Co-Brand Stamps

Want2Scrap Corrugated Mini with Renew!

Authentique Paper and Want2Scrap are teaming up this week to bring you tons of inspiration using Authentique Paper and Want2Scrap products!

After you check out the projects here on the Authentique Paper blog, be sure to head on over to the Want2Scrap blog to find out what the talented members of their Design Team have in store for you today!

********************

This was my first experience working with
WANT 2 SCRAP
products and wow, did I have fun with it!
I received the "Retro Album" and had a tough time deciding on whether to do a traditional album, a banner or home decor.  In the end, I was really wanting to use the "Renew Collection" as I hadn't had the chance to play with all of the cute file folders and punch-outs...I thought these would best represented in an album. 

OUR HAPPINESS

In prepping the corrugated album, I inked around the edges of the flat sides with Memento's Tuxedo Black.  On the corrugated sides, I used Color Shine Black Velvet Spritz.  To the fancy ends (flat side only) I painted the areas with a white PITT pen by Faber-Castell.

To the front cover, I layered a Renew patterned paper with one of the file folders and then embellished with a puzzle piece and flowers from Petaloo. Wanting to hide the area where the white pen marking met the corrugated board, I added a strip of gingham ribbon and then topped with Mother of Pearl Rhinestones by Want2Scrap.

 The next two pages feature Authentique's new Hampton Art Stamps and the beautiful flourish of adhesive pearls by Want2Scrap.  I stitched the file folder together so that tags would be tucked inside.

As you may can tell, I switched the pages around so that two flat sides would be together, as well as two corrugated sides...I thought it added even more interest :)  Again, I used the different punch-out elements for the majority of my embellishments...when you layer them together with foam you have a whole new look!

I removed the original centers from the flowers and added the large Mother of Pearl Rhinestones instead.  The Tear Drop Pearls look perfect as the center for the punched butterfly!

That's the end of my "Retro Album"...I hope you have the chance to try some of the wonderful Want2Scrap products and see how well they work together with Authentique!
