Giggles - FabScraps

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.     Background  Paper Preparation:

2.     Start with FabScraps Baby Bear Collection –Bunny Bear 1 C57007 – cut ¼ inches from each side of the paper and punch all the edges with a decorative punch.

3.     Make a small tear of paper at the top left side as well as bottom right  side.

4.     Glue Bunny Bear 1 paper to FabScraps Baby Bear Collection – Story Bear 2 C57004 (12in x12in)

5.     Select three die cuts from the FabScraps Baby Bear Collection – Journal tags MC57001A. Glue to the center of the page making three little decorative sections.

6.     Glue your photo to the page where you want it. 

7.     Find a small graphic from the FabScraps Baby Bear Collection – Journal tagsand glue under the tear at the bottom of the page.

8.     Glue a small piece of lace to the tear at the top of the page.

9.     Chipboard Preparation:

10.   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.

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

13.   FabScraps Baby Bear –Sweetie Pie chipboard DC57008 – paint the front side of the Sweetie Pie chipboard using the same technique – green and dabs of gold.  Let dry and then glue to paper – near the top left side of the page

14.  Finishing Touches

15.   Add some lace under the word Giggles.

16.   Accent with some flowers if desired.   

17.   Add some yellow mist to the left and right of the photo for a gentle pop of color.

Enjoy
