Adventure This Way Layout with Marilyn

Hello everyone!!

Marilyn here with you today to share a layout with the video tutorial that I created with the Jungle Life collection. I'm an animal lover and one of my favorites things to do is visiting the zoo. I made this page about this adorable giraffe.

I started my page cutting a 5" by 12" piece of the giraffe paper. I cut out some images like leaves and animals from the papers and adhered foam tapes behind of each image, it gives dimension and a realistic look to the page. I made layers with the different images and papers.

I distressed with the green ink from the Color Wheel by Vicky Boutin the edges of the frame from the Noteworthy package and adhered the photo to the center.

I stamped some leaves on the background using the new Simply Flower stamp and the Color Wheel inks.  I took a paint brush to blend the same green ink around the images, it creates a dimension effect on the background .

I used the layered chipboard and the Noteworthy die cuts on my page.

Finally, I added some pearls and gave white paint splatters. If you want to see how I created this page don't miss the video tutorial down below. I hope it inspires you, Thank you so much for visiting us today.
Until next time!

Escape to Paradise Cards with Marilyn

Hello everyone!

Marilyn here to share with you three cards that I made with the beautiful Escape to Paradise collection. It was so fun to work with this collection the images are adorable, let's take a look...

My first card is 5 1/2" by 4 1/2" inches. I started cutting a rectangle from the flower paper then I cut a circle to create a window. I adhere this flower paper to my card base.

I stamped some flowers in a white cardstock using the Simply Flower stamp and the Color Wheel Inks by Vicki Boutin. I cut out the flowers with the scissors and adhered them to the card.

I adhered a few of the flowers with adhesive foam dots to create dimension. The adorable flamingo is from the Noteworthy package, I just cut it out  from one of the die cuts and the sentiment from one of the paper. Once I made the composition, I adhered all the pieces and for the final touch  I made some dots with the pearlescents in coral and blue colors.

My second card is fun and easy to do. It's the bigger of the three cards, it is 7 1/2" by 4 1/2" inches. I cut another circle to create a window in the blue paper when I can show the adorable fish that are from the sticker sheet.

I'm using the Noteworthy die cuts and the sticker to make this card, it's so easy to work with it. I added some dots with the pearlescent to give the effect of water bubbles.

Finally, I made the dotted lines with a black gel pen.

I love this paper with the pineapples, it reminds me of the delicious "Pina Colada" and the Caribbean beaches. It is a simple card with many layers that I highlighted them with the dotted lines. I cut a square 2 1/2" by 2 1/2" inches in a black cardstock and adhered to the center.

I used the Layered Chipboard in this card. I can't resist to use the adorable pineapple with the brilliant crown.

I cut and adhered two tiny flowers from one of the papers, added some dots with the pearlescents and a few sequins.

Here are the three cards, I hope they inspire you! Thanks you so much for stopping by...until next time!

Traveler Tags with Marilyn

Hello Bo Bunny fans! 

It's Marilyn here with you today to share a couple of tags and the video tutorial that I made using the new World Traveler collection.

I love to travel so I had fun creating with this collection. I tried to highlight the vintage look of this collection using brown, copper inks. But let me start from the beginning, I cut two pieces 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" from two different ivory papers from the collection. I gave textures with the Backsplash stencil and modeling paste.

In my first tag,  I adhered some clocks and gears that I cut out  from the Bo Bunny's craft dies with a brown paper from the collection. To give dimension and interest I adhered some die cut from the Noteworthy package with adhesive foam dots.

In the second tag, I used the same elements but created a different composition.

These are three of the products that I used to create the tags. The Noteworthy package with all the fantastic die cuts pieces so easy to work with them, the brads that I added to my first tag to bring the metallic look. And for my second tag I gave a sparkle look with some jewels.

You can see here from this angle the dimension and layers that I created on the tags with the different die cuts and elements.

You want to see how I made them, don't miss my video tutorial below!

Elegant Wedding Card Ideas - with Black Tie Affair and Marilyn

Hello Everyone! It's Marilyn here to share with you two elegant clean and simple cards using the beautiful Black Tie Affair collection.

I

I started cutting three squares from different papers to create layers over a black card base. I adhered them with foam dots to create dimension between each layer.

I add the LOVE chipboard and cut three hearts from the combo sticker, I adhered them with foam dots. Next, I add some red gems for a little bit of sparkle.

My second card is simple and easy to create. I made the base with one of the Black Tie papers then I added a piece of black cardstock and made a dotted line with white gel pen on the edges.  I really love the end look of this trick. It looks like real stitching with the dark of the paper and the bright white of the pen.

I decided to use the Once Upon a Time big chipboard as the focal point of the card.

And, there you  go!  Two quick and easy cards, could be used for a wedding, anniversary, or just a kind thought and note to a friend.  Endless possibilities!

Hello everyone! It's Marilyn here with a beginner mixed media wedding page that I created with the beautiful Black Tie Affair collection.  This line is perfect to work using the wedding photos. Let's take a look...

I started applying clear gesso to all the paper then I gave textures with the Lots of Love Stickable stencil and modeling paste. Once dry I gave white paint splatters to add more textures.

I made a lot of fussy cutting for this page, I cut out the mat behind my photo from one of the papers also the flowers and the hearts.

Before I placed all the flowers I adhered a piece of cheesecloth it gave layers and textured to all the paper flowers.

I adhered some swirls glaze jewels, a few Tuxedo brads and in the center of each flower a jewel that it make the flowers look delicate, love the effect.

Finally I made the "US' with Alphabet Punch Board by We R Memory Keepers and adhered the "Pure Magic" die cut.

Happy Easter 12 x 12 Layout features Cottontail and BoBunny Essentials with Marilyn

Hello Everyone!

It's Marilyn here today to share with you an Easter page that I created with the beautiful new Cottontail collection.  I'll take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Easter!

I took this beautiful neutral ivory paper from the collection I find it's easier to highlight soft colors if you use a neutral base like I did in this page. I cut from the papers the different images like the adorable eggs, flowers, fence and tag then I adhered them with Sticky Thumb adhesive foam dots to create dimension, and a nice focal point for the right side of this page.

I gave textures and design on the background with a Flower Power Stickable Stencil and white gesso. After it was dry, I traced the shapes of the flowers with gel pens in colors similar to the papers, to make the flowers pop! I placed some mint colored craft grass and some 3D balls for a taste of mixed media, and some extra Easter flavor!

I distressed all the eggs with ink and added a dot of Pearlescents in Butterscotch color in the center of each flower.

I love the simple title I chose here. It's the adorable Happy Easter layered chipboard from the same collection.

Finally,  I added some pearls here and there for the final touch!! I hope you find some inspiration...Happy Easter!!!

Vintage Inspired Mixed Media Layout featuring Charmed and On this Day with Marilyn

Hello everyone!!  It's Marilyn here,  I hope all of you are good today!  For my project today, I  made a mixed media layout combining two collections: Charmed and On this Day.  There were so many yummy elements from each collection and I just didn't want to have to choose between them! 

My base paper is the "Dance" from the Charmed collection. It has a beautiful design with zig-sag stitches. First, I applied gesso with a paint brush in the area that I was going to apply paints. Once dry, I added textures with the Lace Stickable stencil and Modeling Paste.

I cut out  images from papers of the On This Day collection. The cute girl and the photo mat are from the March paper and the butterflies are from the April paper.  The book at the bottom of the photo is from the Perfection paper of the Charmed collection.  I rolled the edges of the paper on the photo mat and the book to give the paper some lift and texture. 

I cut and adhered pieces of the Chocolate jewels behind each butterfly to create the effect of the flight route.

I added flower and doily from the Clover Dahlia blossom package and adhered some Emerald pearls seen below:

   

I hope you find some inspiration! Thanks for stopping by...until next time!

Hello everyone! Marilyn here to share a canvas  with you today. I worked with the beautiful Charmed collection. Let's take a look...

 I started out giving a coat of  white gesso to all the canvas. Next, I added textures and created a design with the Serenity Stickable stencil and Primer Paste. I cut out six clocks with the Tick Tock Die and white cardstock, I adhered two clocks together to create a little of dimension. I made a design with all the pieces and adhered them on the canvas with gel medium.  Then, I mixed some acrylics to paint the canvas.





Then, I cut some images  and the sentiment from the Charmed Perfection paper.

I cut out the key from the Unlocked Die and painted it with acrylic paints.
