Heather's Paper Playroom

The theme for Sidekick Saturday on Feb 17 was LOVE. Yes, that was almost two months ago! I’m still trying to catch up on these prompts. Also note that I’m using my full size planner instead of the Sidekick.  I’ve had this little paper cup sitting on my desk for a while as I really like the watercolour hearts. I knew it would be a good inspiration for a project.  Instead of actually trying to draw the hearts with a brush and watercolours I just WATERCOLOUR STAMPED them!  Have you ever tried this technique?  It’s really easy and the results look just like you painted them! I wanted to insure that my page would coordinate nicely in my planner, so I chose a piece of paper from the new Petal Pink pack. It ties in perfectly with my previous page! You can see how that page came together here .  I added some dark pink & black cardstock from my stash and used some Abandoned Papers on the pockets.  You can see the full process video on my YouTube channel.  I used the following Elizabeth Craf

Hi there! Today I want to share a simple Journal Page. I had some left over pieces from a previous planner page and decided to quickly decorate a blank page in my Art Journal.  I inked all of the edges with some brown ink to distress/age them a little. I used a glitter brush over the black mesh to add some shimmer, unfortunately it doesn’t show well in the picture.  Very simple but cute and it matches so well with its companion page.  Please watch my process video below to see all of the details and what products I used.  Thanks so much for stopping by and have an AMAZING day!

Hi there, today I’m sharing the journal pages that I made during a Facebook Live on the Elizabeth Crafts Facebook page.  I started by stenciling some VersaMark onto paper from the Abandoned Papers pack. Then I heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Next I rubbed a dark brown ink over top of the entire paper.  I cut out the decorative pieces using the Artist Trading Coin, Border Flower, Floral Inserts, Budding Florals and the Art Journal specials dies.  I stamped the wavy circles with the Artist Trading Coin stamps and inked distressed all of the edges with brown ink.  I used my mini pancake maker to melt the wax beads and create the seals. You should definitely check out the video if you’re interested in how that works. I forgot to highlight the seals during my video but did it after using a dark brown alcohol marker.  Thank you for stopping by. Be sure to watch the video on the  Elizabeth Crafts Facebook page All of the ECD products I used in this project were available at the tim

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing another planner page that I made for the   Elizabeth Craft Planners & Journaling Facebook   group Sidekick Saturday prompts. I’m still playing catch up on these prompts. The prompt for February 3 was Arts & Crafts. I decided to use some stamps from ECD and do dome colouring with my pencil crayons. I started by die cutting some corrugated cardboard that I salvaged from some packaging. I tore off the one side exposing the corrugated parts. I wasn’t worried about this being perfect as it looks cool with some bits still left attached. I used the Art Journal Specials ATC stitched mat to cut them out.  Next I stamped and cut out the pencil from CS295 Journal Your Life and the vase from CS304 Back in Time. The pencil doesn’t have a matching die but it was easy to fussy cut.  Then I choose a few colours from my very large pencil crayon collection and coloured in the images. I also stamped and die cut the stamp and clip from the Journal Your Life stamp
