Wild by Nature | Cocoa Vanilla Studio | Great Escape Collection

Monday 13 May 2024

 


Hey everyone, here is my latest layout for Cocoa Vanilla Studio using the Great Escape Collection. For this layout I decided to feature the wonderful journaling cards from the cut -apart sheet. I chose four cards and arranged them in a grid design together with two photos. I mounted the two photos onto some of the papers from the A5 Paper Stack.

I made the journaling cards and the mounted photos all the same size and distressed the edges of all. I arranged them onto my white card background and then I started to add some fabulous embellishments – my favourite part!

I used Floral Ephemera from the Heart & Home collection as the base for each of my clusters. I tucked them under some of the cards in three distinct areas. I added Great Escape Ephemera to the clusters, mostly smaller items, including stars, banners and arrows.

For my title I used the Wild by Nature title from the Puffy Title Stickers which I added to one of the journaling cards. I love these titles, there are so many totally awesome options!  I added some Ephemera words: ‘explore’, ‘roam’ and ‘adventure’ to my layout too and added word strips from the Accessory Stickers. I finished off with my journaling and splatters of black paint!

Thanks so much for joining me today and happy scrapping

Built Tough | Bramble Fox

Sunday 12 May 2024

 


For the boys..! For this layout I’ve used the fabulous new boy sets available now in the shop, to document my son’s birthday. He took a couple of friends Go-Karting and they had the best time.

I’ve used the Family Fun collection by Simple Stories, which is an older collection, from about 3 years ago, but I’ve held on to it as it’s so good for scrapping boys! I started off by using the cogs stencil, which I stencilled onto a white background using red and black inks.

I’ve used the Built Tough title in black as my main title, and I also used 100% Fearless, also in black. From the Diggers set I used the red racing car…so perfect for my Go-Karting photos! And I’ve also used a number of the cogs and tools. I love the small pieces to tuck in around my layout.

I finished off with colourful enamel dots and splatters of black paint!

Check out these new sets in the Bramble Fox shop, they are super fun!

Happy scrapping
