hey guys it's Katy at ScrappinKaty.CTMH.com
and i am bringing you a fun layout using
some brand new product from close to my
heart
and i am playing along with the close to
my heart twisted sisters
in a youtube hop where we will show you
products and twist them up a bit to show
you
other uses so i have pulled one of our
brand new thin cuts and this is the
floral background
you'll see how pretty it is here and
i've already cut a couple of panels
using my die cut machine and then those
little pieces just kind of pop out
now i will bring in a card base and show
you
that the reason i am calling this my
twisted
product is it is meant for a card front
so there is a pre-scored card base and
you'll see how perfectly that fits on a
standard
size card so i'm just going to continue
to po
punch out these little bitty pieces that
did not fall
out when i removed it from my plate of
my die cut machine
and then once i have that done i've gone
ahead and i've cut a third one
and so what i'm going to do is trim off
some of the edges of this and you'll see
where i'm going with this here in just a
second
so i started with my scissors but then i
wanted to show you that you can bring
out your cutter and do this as well
so all i want to do is cut two of the
sides of
that frame on this one i'm going to cut
three of the sides
and then on that right one i'm going to
pull that pull that and kind of compare
it to that other one
make sure that i have the floral
patterns and i want to cut the left
edge off and then the bottom and then
there i
am basically i have three panels that
will go
together now another new product that we
have are our distress
oxide inks and i'm going to create a fun
background just by blending these inks
now i have worked with
the distress inks in the past but this
is my first time using the oxide
distress
inks and oh man i had heard that there
was a difference but until you actually
get to use them i was not aware of
they just have this creamy feel to them
and i love how they blend with the
other colors you can see here they're
just blending really well
and for lack of a better word it's just
buttery it's just
creamy i hope you can kind of tell in
the photos at the end of this video
and then on this mustard seed i'm kind
of going over
that picked raspberry to kind of create
an
orange and then this last kind of
teal color is our peacock feathers
and again i'm going to do the same with
it and kind of go over that mustard seed
to kind of create a green
so now i've got that watercolor
background i'm going to kind of clean
things up here in just a second and i'm
finally going to show you where i'm
going
with these thin cuts so i'm going to
create
a basically an overlay just at the top
of this layout
now i've kind of measured out that
center panel and i've cut that that
excess off using my paper trimmer
and then there are definitely some lines
i know you girls can see that
some lines between those panels and so
i'm just going to take that piece that i
cut off from the center panel
and try to cut some of those flowers off
so i can try to
hide that definite line between the
panels
so right here i am going to kind of
round some of those edges and i did that
off camera
to also kind of make the panels fit
together
now i did not like the way you could see
my circular motions
so i am just kind of using the packaging
um it's it's kind of like a watercolor
look you just use any kind of packaging
that was from some of our close to my
heart
embellishments or compliments that come
with some paper packets
and i'm just turning those oxide inks
over on my
multi-purpose mat spraying it with water
and then picking it up with that
packaging material
and just blotting over the edges or the
ends
of where those oxide inks ended
now you do want to be careful because
these oxide inks do react
with water and so i was trying not to
get
the actual sponge part too watery that
way
i could control what how those oxides
reacted
so i finished that off and then i'm
going to take that same
little spray bottle and i'm going to add
some water and i'm just dipping a
paintbrush
in that little spray bottle and then
adding some water drops and you'll see
here in a second when i say that those
oxides react
to water you'll see those kind of water
spots pop up
so i'm going to do that and then i kind
of mess up and i get some of those oxide
inks on the bottom
which i'm really liking you know that i
love paint splatter if you followed me
for a while
so i've just picked up that paint brush
and putting it in
to that seedless preserves which is that
darker purple color
and i just did some splatters all over
my layout
now here i'm going to go ahead and glue
down those panels and i'm doing that
with some liquid adhesive
now i'm trying to stay away from
the frame that's around the floral piece
because i am going to stitch that down
to my layout
so if you can tell here i'm at only
adding adhesive to the floral pieces and
not the frame
so i'm going to try to hide some of
those lines again by using some of those
tiny little pieces that i cut off
and i'm pretty happy with that so off
camera i have stitched that and i'm just
going to tape that to the back and then
here's the photo of
my two youngest kids i've decided to use
now another twisted part to this layout
is i'm pulling out one of our brand new
birthday stamp sets now i love using
birthday stamp sets because
not only do they usually have birthday
but they usually have the word happy or
celebrate or fun
all by themselves and so that's what i'm
trying to do here is
add a title using that birthday stamp
set
now this new set is called wishing you
everything
and i liked the
um i liked the sentiment but i didn't
want my photo so high
up so i decided to cover up that
sentiment
and then i'm going to restamp it above
the photo
if that makes sense so i want to use
intense black and i have a tip for you
so the black doesn't stain your stamp
ink it up in a lighter color right here
i'm using linen
and then you can go directly to the
intense black
without messing up your ink pad and then
it does not stain
your stamp images
so i like how that looks i'm just going
to adhere that
tissue paper directly down onto my
layout
and then use some of my craft foam to
kind of pop
up that row of photos now i love
tissue paper if you've seen me do videos
in the past you know that i love just
the softness that it brings
so there's a little bit too much white
down at the bottom so i've decided to
kind of bring
in that watercolor technique again
and i like how the two watercolor
techniques
um almost like meet in the middle but
there's definitely
that bold white stripe down where the
photo is
so i'm just going to finish off with
that peacock feather
and then i want some more color to the
left by the seedless preserves
so i'm just going to use that sponge and
kind of color in that corner
now i like how this looks but i do want
to just stamp with these oxide inks and
see how that looks
so i've pulled out a tiny heart again
from that stain
from that same stamp set wishing you
everything
and i'm just inking that image directly
onto the pad the
oxide pad and then stamping it onto my
project
now you can tell here i am color
blocking so i
am only stamping those hearts in that
color where that color
is on my layout if that makes sense
so i really like how that looks and
i am going to add just pops of color
around
the layout now this zip strip is from
the retired
summer vibes collection and then i'm
going to pull out some of our brand new
shimmer trims
they're so pretty i've got the lemonade
here and i'm just going to cut off a
piece
and then put that down kind of where
that yellow that mustard
oxide ink is and then i'm going to do
the same
up at the top of my photos with that
brand new flamingo
shimmer trim and i love how these
shimmer trims not only added color
but it did kind of add that extra
shimmer
so here is a look at the final layout
off camera i did go ahead and do a
double stitch along the bottom of the
layout just to bring the stitching
down to the bottom as well so that's
pretty much it
for my twisted uses of some brand new
close to my heart product

product down below
