This is a layout I created for my cousin and her son. He is such a little sweetie and cutie pie that the FabScraps chippies were a must for a page about him. This features the Baby Bear Collection.
Giggles are infectious with little kids. Get one started and everyone is soon giggling. So I wanted to add more giggles to my page. I used the chipboard piece as a stamp to create more giggles. keep reading and I'll tell ya what I did.
First, I want to show off the products I used:
Bunny Bear 1 CS57 007
Story Bear 1 CS57 003
Story Bear 2 CS57 004
Giggles Die Cut chipboard DC57 006
Journal Tags Die cuts MC57 001A
Sweetie Pie Die Cut chipboard DC57 008
OK back to the giggles stamping technique. I painted both sides of the chippie with Shimmerz Texturez in Artie Choked , a wonderful warm green. While the paint was still wet, I dabbed some gold paint on the front and back. I misted the back of the chipboard with water and used as a stamp - adding paint for the stamping as needed.
At the bottom of this photo, you can see a darling little bear peaking from behind the paper tear.
Thanks for visiting. Below is a quick tutorial of my process. Hope you enjoy FabScraps Baby Bear Collection as much as I do!
Instructions
1.

Bear Collection –Bunny Bear 1 C57007

decorative punch.

paper at the top left side as well as bottom right side.

Chipboard Preparation:

FabScraps Baby Bear –Giggles chipboard DC57006 – paint front and back of giggles chipboard with light
green paint or color of choice. While still
wet, dab some gold acrylic paint on the chipboard on the front and the back, dabbing here and there right over the green. The two colors will mix. That’s ok.
11.
While the chipboard is
wet, mist some water onto the backside of the chipboard and use as a stamp on
the paper. You may need to add more
paint and mist with each stamping – depending on how bold you want the stamping
to appear.

After chipboard dries,
glue “Giggles” to the page below the
photo.

of the Sweetie Pie chipboard using the same technique – green and dabs of gold.

top left side of the page

the word Giggles.
