With Mother’s Day coming up this weekend I thought I would remind you that AZZA has a lovely stamp in their range for a card to give to Mum or to use on a page you create with photos from the special day.

The AZZA Accordion albums are a perfect gift for Mum, here is one Hilary created last year.

Hilary has used the AZZA Berlin Trio stencil:

The Berlin Trio is available both with a book showing you the many ways in which it can be used or as the stencil trio on its own.

A window can be cut in these accordion sheets which looks lovely when it is displayed. Hilary has done this on the page below.

Again, you can see how Hilary has used the stencil on the page.

It is always good to begin with getting your photos onto the page, then fill in the gaps with decoration.

Decorations can be paper, chalks, inks or stamped images. Remember, not to decorate too much, the photos must remain the focus of the album

This was a perfect example to showcase for this month, as a NEW AZZA TRIO was released this month – Ibiza!

AZZA Ibiza Trio can be purchased with the book showing you how it can be used or it can be purchased on its own. You can purchase Accordion page sets in the AZZA shop, pop along and see the many colours available.

If you have subscribed to Mail Out, hold on a week or two and you will receive product with instructions on how to create an Album and also the many ways the Accordion sheet can be used on the 30 x 30 scrapping page. If you would like to subscribe to Mail Out at any time, please contact me.

Hilary has used the AZZA Ibiza Trio on the page below:

Another beautiful sample of the Ibiza Trio and Celebration themed products used on a page by RJ2S in Europe.

There will be a AZZA magnet behind this decoration to keep the Accordion sheet closed.

This page I created with the AZZA Ibiza Trio using the Accordion sheet cut in half. This way it give me the opportunity to use it in two places on the page opening like a card. It allows me to add a few more photos to my page. I have kept the ‘cards’ closed with the AZZA Flipetts which can be purchased online. They come in two sizes.

The Celebration themed products released this month are beautiful on the page – the larger die set below.

A stunning double page by our special friend Christine who has been ‘fighting on the front line’ of the Covid war in the medical field but still manages to create the most beautiful pages. Thank you Christine for always sharing your work with Australia.

Note how Christine has threaded the Copper circle through the words of the die. She has also added a little character to the die with inking around the edges and pen work.

You could put almost anything in as journalling with the cloche stamp/die image.

Below is the AZZA Accordion album I created for our Mail out Ladies. They will receive all they need to make an album this month. I used the new Ibiza Trio and the Celebration themed products.

On the page above you can see the “Biere” die cut, I would like to show you that you can change that into English very easily. The letters pop out of the shape so you can re-arrange them into English “Beer” as seen on the samples below.

Now for a few ideas for your cover:

The cover above has been made using the new Linen adhesive sheets, Seasonal patterned paper and Stamp available this month.

Sandra also used the Ibiza Trio stencil on a 30 x 30 page below, what a lovely page. Sandra has used decoration products from the Loire theme released last month.

Jennie Banks in Queensland created the following pages using the new products released this month, the second incorporating part of an Accordion album.

AZZA Australia has joined with Agfest in the Cloud, an online Agricultural show, as our Tassie Consultants would have normally been part of the show on the ground. This show started yesterday and AZZA has put up further ‘Sale’ bundles for our Agricultural Clients. Do pop along to the show, or directly to our online shop to check them out.

On the pages below Hilary has highlighted the AZZA Cogs and Mechanisms themed products. These products are perfect for any of your ‘Boys and their toys’ pages.

Below is a lovely double page by Hilary using the AZZA 4 x 4 style, no stencil, just keeping your photos square or rectangle but all 5mm apart. A lovely layout and easy to put together.

Not forgetting our Ladies on the land, we have added products from our Sewing and Country Wedding themes. During lockdown quite a few of our Clients have found time for some of their hobbies they have not done for quite some time so these could also be used to scrap wedding photos you may not have got around to doing yet or scrapping pages of your achievements during isolation!

A beautiful set of pages by Christine using the AZZA Boston stencil.

Now a few very different pages using the AZZA Zurich stencil.

A lovely page by Ros, AZZA Consultant in Esperance.

Note how Ros has added two candles to the cup cake die as this was a 3rd Birthday. Love the use of the AZZA Resin dots on the cup cake!

There is a booklet you can purchase to show you the many ways these Celebration products can be used on the page:

Lastly a few lovely cards with AZZA products.

A selection of cards by Hilary Hamilton using the Floral and Country wedding stamps:

These two cards I created with the new Birthday embossing folder – my new favourite!!

A lovely card by Sue Talbot in Sydney using the AZZA Floral themed products, new and old.

Check out the online shop for the AZZA Flower stamps on SALE – perfect for cards.

The backgrounds on the two cards above can be created with the AZZA Silicone stamp.

Get scrapping whilst you still have time, before we know it, life will be back to busy, busy, busy and our craft will take a back seat once again.

For a little ‘Off the Page’ project the AZZA Lantern is lovely for any occasion. Anita created a Birthday lantern with the new products:

Stay safe and keep scrappin’
