DT: Kingston Crafts – foil cardstock stock

A black and white picture is always fun to scrap because any colour goes well with it – so I chose this selfie I took New Years Eve 2020 and decided to scrap it with all the colours of the super bright and shiny foiled cardstock from Kingston Crafts (except the silver and gold).

I kept it simple with die cutting some rings from each colour in a few sizes and then worked out how I wanted to arrange them onto a piece of white 12×12

Next I decided for the background I wanted to stamp happy using a few different stamps in shades of grey.

Once I had done this I glued each foiled circle down in place.

I also added some coloured stamping with the little crosses from the Biggest Wish stamp set.

I just used colours of distress ink I thought went with this rainbow of colours from the foiled cardstock and scattered them over the page.

I then framed the picture with the black foil and raised that up over the circles with just a small piece of the black and white patterned paper to the right with the tab I also cut from black paper and hand wrote the date on it.

I die cut the New Year from an old Waffleflower die set from the black foiled cardstock and then the letters for the title from the same – that black foiled cardstock is fabulous! I can see I will run out of that first!

I added my journalling with pen all about how I was glad to see the end of 2020 but how we celebrated having survived the first part of the pandemic (my hubby and I had spent most of December poorly with COVID-19 so this was us being grateful to be feeling more human by this point! – it’s odd that I am blogging this now when I have been so poorly the last few days with another cold virus that I am suspecting was actually Covid!)

I also die cut some tiny hearts from the black foiled cardstock and added those as little tiny embellishments all over the page.

Shiny cardstock isn’t normally my thing for scrapbooking but this page may well have converted me! It is so shiny and really brought the fun to my page!

I hope you like this! And it is one of the ‘as seen on tv’ projects … so funny to see my own face popping on the tv!

Happy crafting!
