Home Sweet Home | Lottie Loves Paper | Daydream Collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio

Tuesday 29 September 2020

 

 
 Hey everyone, I have a new layout and video to share today for Lottie Loves Paper. I'm still using the stunning Daydream collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio. Today I am using the rainbow paper - I've been putting off using this iconic sheet because it's sooooo beautiful and special that I wanted to do something amazing with it to do it justice! Perhaps this was too much pressure to put on myself...I'm very pleased that I eventually got over this and finally used the paper!

I cut apart the rainbow stripes and distressed the edges. I stitched around the hearts on the largest stripe, and added a hand stitched zig zag on the smallest one. I added pom pom trim to the pale pink stripe too. I then pieced the rainbow back together onto a sheet of white card.

I added punched white clouds to the background and also doodled and cut out three large clouds, that I mounted onto patterned paper and stitched around.

I added lots of flowers from the Daydream ephemera, some fussy cut rainbows from one of the papers, and added some houses from the ephemera too. I added paper roses, sequins and a rainbow flair badge. I finished off with gold splatters.

I love how this one turned out and am so very pleased that I finally used this paper!

Happy scrapping and enjoy the video

Year 5 | Hip Kit Club | Mixed Media Monday

Wednesday 23 September 2020

 


Hey everyone, I have a new layout and process video to share today using the August 2020 Hip Kits.

Today's assignment is Mixed Media Monday so I have focussed on the August Color Kit. I applied the three Prima Ink pads directly to my background by simply rubbing them on the card. I then used the Stamp Kit chevron stamp by Pinkfresh Studio to stamp chevrons onto the background. I did this colour-on-colour so the effect is quite subtle. I also added a few splatters of the same colour inks.

I hope you've enjoyed this layout, thank you so much for joining me today. You can view the view below.

Happy scrapping

Time to Shine | Bramble Fox | September Fox Box

Saturday 19 September 2020

  

 

Hey everyone, here is my latest layout for Bramble Fox. I've used the 'new normal' title from the September Fox Box.

I've used a back to school phot for this layout, hoping that our 'new normal' is being back at school. I have used the Photoplay Paper collection 'Let's Just All Stay Home' and a cut file that was a freebie from Peartree Cut Files.

I cut the Shine cut file from turquoise paper. I cut the middle letters and stars from the same paper but the stripy side, so there was some contrast. I arranged this altogether at the top of my layout.

I added my photo which I backed with a striped paper bag that my September Fox Box came in! It happened to match the 'new normal' title colour perfectly. I added a tag behind my photo and some embellishment on the right side and added my 'new normal' title below the photo.

For the cut file section I decided to add more stars! I had lots of little Bramble Fox Perspextive stars in my stash so I dotted them all around the cut file. I also added sequins and Nuvo drops.

I hope you have enjoyed this layout, I think it's really fun and a bit different than my normal 'back to school' type layouts! The process video can be viewed below.

Happy scrapping

Lovely | Shimmerz Paints | September Color Kitz

Friday 18 September 2020

 

 
 

Hey everyone, I have a new layout and video to share today for Shimmerz Paintz. I'm using the beautiful September Color Kitz which contains:

Blue Jeans Vibez

Buttercream Shimmerz  
Magenta Shimmerz  
Iris My Case Shimmerz  
Ice Sage Inklingz - which is a new exclusive colour.

Also in the September Color Kitz is a set of three Dotz with super cute designs, and some cute wooden clothes pegs.

As well as all that, there is an exclusive cut file. This month it's the 'Stella Flower' which is a beautiful layered flower.

I built my layout using a few small pieces of patterned paper that I cut into heart shapes. I layered the Stella Flowers around my photo and added three of the little wooden clothespegs to the side of my photo. I painted these with the Ice Sage Inklingz.

I added two of the gorgeous Dotz and a few other embellishments. I added some acrylic hearts and some sequins.

Thank you so much for joining me today, I hope you have enjoyed this layout and don't forget that if you place an order with the Shimmerz Store, then put my name in the comments to receive a freebie.

Happy scrapping
