Fancy Pants Accordian Flip Album

Hello,

I was spending time in the crafty world of blogland and came across this fantastic Accordian Flip Album. This is an amazing project - perfect as a gift - you end up with 9 places to add photos and I have created pockets on two of the panels in which I have added tags.

Fancy Pants - Butterfly Birthday Cards

Hi, have you ever made a card and just loved the final product - this is what happened when I made a card on the weekend - I loved it so much that I just had to make two more the same!!

Fancy Pants - Be Different - Door Sign

Hi all!

Sue here today sharing something a little "different" I created recently using the 'Fancy Pants - Be Different' range. This creation was inspired by the July challenge at Off the Rails Scrapbooking challenge blog. It's not often I go "off the page", but the gorgeous little monsters on the 'Be Different - Monsters' paper were just BEGGING to be fussy cut, so I decided to create a sign for my twin boys' bedroom door.

{Believe it or not, this sign was actually created from the side of an old cardboard box!}

Here's how I created the background...

My "custom mist" was created using several drops of Donna Salazar Mix'd Media Inx Refill (mine was Verdigris), combined with water in a Ranger Inkssentials Mini Mister. (I love that I can create my own mists like this!)

Once the background was dry, it was simply a case of embellishing it. The words were all cut from the 'Be Different - Oh Boy' paper, whilst the monster characters were cut from the 'Be Different - Monsters' paper. There are also a couple of pieces from the 'Be Different - Ephemera Pack'. (I loooove this pack of embellishments, there are so many cool ones!) I mounted lots of my elements using foam tape to add dimension.

To add to the sense of fun, I also created a couple of little flags from paper offcuts and toothpicks, and used Dusty Attic - Barbed Wire chipboard, which was lightly coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Festive Berries). The border around the sign was simply washi tape folded over the edges.

I hope I have shown you how fun & easy it can be to create your own decorative items and that you might now be inspired to create your own. If you do, be sure to share it with us on our Facebook page HERE

 

Til next time, happy scrapping!

 

Cheers,

One for the BOYS!

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing with you a layout I created using the Fancy Pants Designs ‘Be Different’ range. This collection is full of bold patterns, cute monster characters and boyish sentiments…PERFECT for scrapping all those loud, cheeky boys in your life! (Like my own two little monsters!) ;)

This layout took me surprisingly little time. The bold patterns of this collection lend themselves to a more “graphic” style of scrapping, which I found much faster than my usual layer-upon-layer style, and I am really happy with the result.

Fancy Pants - Birthday Cards

Hello, I have been creating some very simple Birthday Cards using Fancy Pants papers which I had left-over from creating my Baby Albums.  With all three cards, I have kept them fairly simple by just adding minimal layers - so they will be great for posting in the mail.

Fancy Pants - "Baby" Mini Albums

Babies, babies - always an exciting time!  I have two friends who are having babies this year, one of them is due any minute now - so I decided I would make them a Mini Album each using some the Fancy Pants papers in the clearance section - there are some great bargains to be had in this section be sure to have a look, but be quick as there are not many of each paper design left!!

Neither Mother has found out whether they are having a boy or girl so I created the albums to suit either - I have used Blue - but they are not too blue!  I have kept each album quite simple so it is easy for very busy Mum's to just add photos!
