UK Scrappers Blog Hop


Welcome to the UKS Spring BlogHop! I hope you are all enjoying some lovely spring weather. You may have come to me from JimJams blog and her stunning mini book.
If you lose your way, or have dropped in on me directly and want to follow the hop, you can see the full list with all the links here.


ETA Remember to comment on each blog and then go back to UKS and comment there to be in with a chance of winning a £25 voucher, I am offering a vine for commetners on this blog. It is important that you include your UKScrappers name in your comment.
 
I have created a page with some handmade flowers, I was inspired by the beautiful Prima branches, as usual I looked at them and thought I bet I could make those. This was my first attempt and I'm pretty pleased with myself. Also on the layout you should spot a lovely voile flower, some tiny pearl flowers and a couple of blossoms made from scallop circle punches. Although the bought flowersand vines are beautiful if you need to use a lot on a layout, using your existing stash of papers and punches can be very cost effective.


 and the details
 
 
To continue with the hop you need to go to Leanie, enjoy your journey.

 ETA: thank you to the response about the vine. I have decided to offer a vine to one person who comments on this post, is a follower and has taken part in the blog hop. I will at some time create a tutorial, so come back regularly to find it.
Please comment using your UKScrapper name to be in with a chance of winning.

Your flowers are stunning. I really like the vines and I think I might have that leaf punch, is it an x-cut one?

You must share some step by steps for your flowers.

Thank you so much for sharing

I have always thought those Prima branches are too expensive and considered making them myself. I haven't yet but you've now inspired me to give it a go. Thank you for sharing.

You've made a stunning layout, Kathy - everything is gorgeous! I love how you've made your own vines and flowers - it is true you don't mind buying as a one-off, but so much more satisfying to make it yourself and to your own spec!
Gorgeous.

End of Summer Blog Hop

Hello to all you UK Scrappers blog hoppers, hopefully you have arrived from Ifa's blog, I have been a fan of Ifa's clean scrapbooking style, how lovely is that layout.  Well the project I made is another take on what you can do with the vines I featured on the last blog hop. Often you see these things and think 'well they are lovely but what will I do with it'. Scrapbooking supplies are not just for scrapbooking.  I bought a bargain frame from a 'cheap' shop and wanted to add a bit of va va voom to it.I thought it was wood so was going to paint and crackle it,, turning it shabby and planned to give it a vintagey theme. Well that went out the window when I realised it was plastic.   Plan B then, I painted it with Gesso to give it a bit of 'tooth' so that whatever I did would grip. I followed this with a couple of coats of cream paint and sanded the edges. This was followed with a sheet of 12x12 cut down to the same size as each panel and glued

Vine Tutorial

On Monday morning I took part in the UKScrappers blog hop , who would have predicted the response to the flowers I had made for the layout. In particular the rose vine. I was flabbergasted, but promised I would let everybody know how I had done it. If anybody does make one of these vines please could you credit me and if posted in a blog I would appreciate a link back to me. I was absolutely inspired by the gorgeous Prima vines , I have purchased many but due to the cost they remain in my stash, I am too frightened to use them because they are not cheap. They fall into the category of  'waiting for a special projrect'. This made me challenge myself to see if i could make something similar.  Firstly you will need to gather your supplies Florist wires florist paper tape paper flowers - they need to have a 'tail' on them, I used these card stock to make leaves either a leaf punch or die to cut leaves, I used these distress ink   Cut as many leaves as you
