This month saw the release of the AZZA Monaco stencil and the Arches products. The first layout I completed was the layout above with a single enlargement. I used the lovely Arches embossing folder and the Arches texture stamp that will be released as part of the extra suite in June. The stencil is so easy to use, from a single photo up to a multi-page layout as seen below. This layout was created by Sue Talbot in NSW. Sue has completed her decorations with the Arches printed paper and the very versatile Filigree dies released recently.

This multi-page layout was showcased in an online class by Anita Day in Queensland showing a window created in the front page.

Pre-cut pages are available with this stencil.

The layout above I created on a 25 x 25 page. I have used the Arches embossing folder, printed paper, a sheet from the yet to be released Arches Vellum paper block, Washi tape and a sketch sheet image. The texture stencil I used was from the Rising Sun theme.

Although there is French writing on some of the Sketch sheet images, this is easily covered up if you do not want to see it on your layout as show below. I covered the writing using the Arches concentric dies and a little of the gold cord. I also used a Sticker circle to continue the circle in the design on the first one. On the second I used the patterned paper and iZink glitter paste.

As seen in the layout above, the Rising Sun texture stencil goes well with this theme too.

Christine shared this lovely layout with us showcasing both the Washington and Arches decoration products used together.

The Arches die that matches the stencil and the embossing folder used on Christine’s page will only be released in Australia on Saturday – June – as they are part of the additional Suite released the month after the main Arches release. The Vellum paper block mentioned earlier will also be part of the Suite released in June.

Those of you who are signed up to the AZZA Mail Out will have received the Vellum paper block already with a lesson on ideas on how it can be used on the page. If you do not get the monthly Mail Out and would like to receive it, contact: enquiries@azzaworld.com.au

Hilary Hamilton created this fun card for a friend. She has used the Monaco stencil for the card itself, both sides of the AZZA Arches printed papers and stamps from our newly added Australiana stamps. I used the lovely little Sheep dog and the same Banksia stamp on my pages below. Also released were the Wooden Panel and Sign stamps and dies. These are great for a title or journalling on the page.

These signs can be used with the AZZA Sage Alphabet die, the AZZA Alphabet stencils or just a handwritten note.

I loved these two layouts below created with the AZZA Auckland stencil and the Sign products.

The lovely AZZA dies are so delicate on the page, both sets below create beautiful decoration.

I wanted to share this lovely layout by Audrey Vast in France. Audrey has created this layout without using an AZZA stencil. She has used the Flower Field patterned papers and die and finished off the layout with the Bombay Washi tape, iZink Glitter paste and a Writer/Dot pen.

Lastly, another page for Michelle’s 25 x 25 album. I used the AZZA A4 Ocean stencil and the Panama and Linen Essential paper and double-sided colours. I completed the page with Resin dots, the wider Chocolate ribbon and a little twine attached to the stamped sign image. I do love these Sign stamp and die sets.

Happy Scrappin’
