More Cards with the Amora Kits with Cathi

Hello scrappy friends! It's me, Cathi, back again.  This is my final set of projects with the Amora kits and of course I wanted to do more cards! I love using the kits for all different types of projects, but cards are always a favorite!  I find it amazing that each kit helps me do tons of cards, layouts, planner projects and mixed media pieces.

For my first card I used the lovely aqua watercolor Good Vibes from the Cocoa Vanilla Happiness collection included in the main Scrapbooking Kit (TSK) and Amora kit.  I used several ephemera also from the TSK.  The flair is from the TSK and the teal flowers are from the Bits and Pieces Kit (BPK). I used twine from my own collection as a design element behind the embellishment cluster.

My second card is a happy and bright card using the Sprinkles paper as a base from the TSK.  The butterfly graphic is cut out from a sheet from the BPK.  The crochet flowers are from the Planner Babe Box and the pink paper flowers are from the TSK.  The daisy and leaf ephemera are from the TSK and the Hello Beautiful sticker is from the Pretty Little Kit (PLK).

My final card uses the Good Vibes watercolour paper from the TSK for its base again. I used twine from my stash again for the background texture. The doily is from the BPK. The my happiness banner, heart and flower ephemera are from the TSK and word sticker is from the PLK.  The pink flowers are from the TSK.

I always love to make cards and love using up most of my ephemera finishing off extra card sets! I hope you enjoyed having a look at my last card set with the Amora kit and will consider subscribing. You can find the subscriptions HERE.  Hope to see you back soon!!

Cathi's August Traveler's Notebook Layout and Planner Pages with the Amora Kit

Hello scrappy friends! It's me, Cathi, back again. This week I wanted to do a layout, but I just don't do full size 12x12 layouts anymore (4 big storage boxes of 3-dimensional layouts that don't fit in albums kinda burned me out!).  I love being able to add a layout or two each month in my A5 traveler's notebook though and have learned to use flatter less dimensional things to make my layouts. I've also added some bonus planner pages to this blog post of my August notebook decor using the Amora kit. I hope you enjoy!!

The base of my two-page traveler's notebook spread is the gorgeous wood grain Bright & Beautiful paper from the Cocoa Vanilla Happiness collection found in the main Scrapbooking Kit (TSK).

This first closeup of the left side of my spread I have used one of the polaroid cut-outs from the Pretty Little Kit (PLK). The 3 x 5 paper layers are also part of the Project Life cards in the PLK.  I added the heart ephemera from the TSK and the cardstock stickers from the PLK.

In this photo you can see the ephemera pieces from the TSK and the cardstock stickers from the PLK.

In the final closeup for the layout you can see all the layers I used, ephemera flowers and leaves, lovely word and Happy Snaps flair all from the TSK.



I had to use more of the kit to decorate my August notebook. I used stickers from the Planner Babe box along with lots of ephmera pieces from the TSK. The black clip is also from the Planner Babe box.  I love the colors in this kit and how the planner stickers work with the Cocoa Vanilla Happiness collection.

I always have a habit tracker page and a goals page and I used the clear stickers from the PLK.

Finally, I alway love a fun inspirational layout at the start of my daily journals so I used a cut out from the PLK. Some scraps of paper from the TSK, and the beautiful die cut flowers from the Bits & Pieces Kit (BPK).

I love working with the kits in my planner, both for planner pages and layouts!!  I hope you enjoyed the planner projects and will consider subscribing. You can find the subscriptions HERE.  Hope to see you back soon!!

Amora Mixed Media Canvas with Cathi

Hello scrappy friends! It's me, Cathi, back again.  This week I have a mixed media canvas where I used my Colour Kit (TCK) and all the rest of the kits gorgeous contents. I had a great time putting this together and getting messy and creative!

The base of my canvas is scraps of all the gorgeous papers from Cocoa Vanilla Studio's Happiness collection from the main Scrappery Kit (TSK)!! I adhered them to my canvas using gel medium and then sealing them in with the medium as well. This is a great way to use up all those off-cuts and scraps from the kit!

In this first close up you can see the doily from the Bits and Pieces Kit (BPK). The gorgeous butterfly die cut is in the from the TSK.  I used the Kaisercraft templates and the Dazzlerz Foiled Again Texture Paste from the TCK to make some gorgeous patterns on my canvas.

I took the Shimmerz Orange Sherbet paint as well as the texture paste to add some color and texture around the edge of the canvas. The paper word stickers are from the Pretty Little Kit (PLK) and the pink paper flowers are from the TSK.

Here you can see more of the pink paper flowers and the beautiful lace flower on top of the beautiful butterfly die cut from the TSK.

In my final close up I have added the die cut ephemera Thankful word from the TSK to finish off the canvas. I wanted the canvas to have inspiring words along with the symbol of beauty and freedom the butterfly represented. I love the word stickers and the ephemera for adding inspiration!

I am so glad I got messy this week with the kits!  I hope you enjoyed the canvas and will consider subscribing. You can find the subscriptions HERE.  Hope to see you back soon!!

For my first card I used the watercolor soft blue paper Good Vibes from the Happiness collection in the main Scrapbooking Kit (TSK).

Hello scrappy friends! It's me, Cathi, back again. This week I would love to share with you my third and final set of cards with the Skye kits! I've run out of card sized scraps to do any more, but the fact that I got 9 cards, three layouts, and two sets of planner pages out of the kits speaks for itself! Amazing value in the kits!

For my first card I used the beautiful Mixed Blessing paper from Cocoa Vanilla Midnight collection found in the main Scrappery Kit (TSK).  I layered a cut out from the Pretty Little Kit (PLK) and added some gorgeous puffy hearts that were a bonus with the kit.  I edged the papers in distress ink and added a sewn border to finish off the card.

For my next card I used the same gorgeous paper from the TSK. I added a doily from the Pretty Little Pieces embellishment pack in the Bits and Pieces Kit (BPK).  Next I added the heart jar and diamond ephemera from the BPK and the Live the Life You Love from the cut out sheet in the PLK.  I edged the base paper in distress ink and finished off the card with the puffy heart stickers and the stitched  border.

Cathi's May Planner Projects with the Skye Kit

Hello scrappy friends! It's me, Cathi, back again. This week I would love to share some planner projects for May that I have made using the Skye kits and the gorgeous Cocoa Vanilla Studios Midnight collection.  I am nearing the end of my kit and at this point just have paper scraps left which I will use next week to make a final set of card from the kit!  

This first project is a dashboard for my May traveler's notebook. I used the beautiful Mixed Blessing paper from the Cocoa Vanilla Midnight collection for the base of my dashboard, layering the  Moonlight and Inspired papers on top. I added the title "May" using the Thickers from the main Scrappery Kit (TSK). The papers are also from the TSK.  The puffy hearts are a bonus item that came with the Skye kits and flower die cut is from the Bits and Pieces Kit (BPK) and the enamel dots are from the Pretty Little Kit (PLK). 

This notebook houses my calendar and journal as well as May goals and habit trackers. I am currently loving my planning style, a monthly calendar and daily journal and record of each day. I write down my list of things I plan to do and fill in with thoughts and happenings.  I have used the kit to make my dashboard and embellish lots of my pages.

For this page, I made myself an inspirational layout on the left side for the start of the month.  I used the Cocoa Vanilla Moonlight paper in the TSK for the base of the layout. I added a picture frame from the die cuts in the BPK.  The Shine Bright cutout comes from the PLK, and the chipboard hearts are from the TSK.  My typical daily journal these days is on the right. I do a bit of lettering, write in my plans the night before and my happenings in the evenings.  I used strips of the Inspire paper from the TSK as a faux washi, and for the little flags I used to decorate my page. The clear sticker flowers and heart mason jar are from the BPK.

I love how clean and simple and fresh my May calendar turned out!!  The large heart flower and leaves are all die cuts from the BPK.  The clear stickers are also from the BPK and the Remember cut out is from the PLK.

For my final project I am showing my habit tracker and goals page.  Again, I simply used lots of the clear stickers found in the BPK to embellish this.  I am getting down to my last bits and pieces now literally, as I have also done a card set for next weeks projects!

I love how the planner pages turned out using the beautiful colors and designs from the Cocoa Vanilla Midnight papers and embellishments!!  I hope you enjoyed them and will consider subscribing. You can find the subscriptions HERE. I've got more cards coming up! Hope to see you back soon!!

Beautiful Girls Layout with Cathi and the Skye Kit

Hello scrappy friends! It's me, Cathi, back again. This week I would love to share another traveler's notebook layout I have made using the Skye kits which feature the gorgeous Cocoa Vanilla Studios Midnight collection. This week I added a little mixed media to my layout with the gorgeous Colour Kit (TCK)!! 

This week I decided to do a two page spread in my traveler's notebook.  I used the gorgeous whitewashed wood paper from the Cocoa Vanilla Studio paper called Bright from the main Scrapbooking Kit (TSK).  I used a photo of my eldest daughter and two of her friends getting ready for a dance. Sigh, they grow up too fast!  In this closeup you can see the gorgeous liquid watercolours I used from the Colour Kit (TCK). To add them I used the waterbrush included in the kit and had fun mixing them around. I used the stencil included in the kit to add the gold hearts and dots. The flag die cut came from the Bits and Pieces Kit (BPK).

Here you can see more of my mixed media watercolour background. On top of the photo, I added a chipboard flower and the bloom and grow flair from the TSK. The all smiles is from the ephemera pack in the BPK.  The x pattern stickers you can see on the background are clear stickers that are also from the BPK. 

The left side of the layout is a simple title. The beautiful die cut is from the TSK. The purple letters that say girls and the word stickers are both from the Pretty Little Kit (PLK). 

I hadn't done a two page spread for a while and I really like the way it turned outI hope you enjoyed my layout with the Skye kit and will consider subscribing. You can find the subscriptions HERE. I've got another layout and more cards coming up soon! Hope to see you back soon!!

More Cards with Cathi and the Skye Kits!

Hello scrappy friends! It's me, Cathi, back again. This week I would love to share another set of three cards I have made using the Skye kits which feature the gorgeous Cocoa Vanilla Studios Midnight collection.  I just love the mix of the soft pinks in this kit with the nearly navy blues and purples, really gorgeous and unique!!  I still have so much left in my kits, but I have used quite a bit of the ephemera in all my projects!! You can see the colors link all the cards here together, as well as the stitching that I did on each of the cards. Next week I hope to do a mixed media project with the gorgeous Colour Kit (TCK)!! 

For my first card I used the beautiful Cocoa Vanilla Studios Midnight Bloom and Grow paper from the main Scrapbooking Kit (TSK).  I layered a smaller piece of the gorgeous watercolour paper Moonlight paper again from the TSK.  I added a stitched border to the smaller layer and popped it up on foam tape to add dimensions.  I then added lots of layers to the card, starting with the floral genometric shape from the ephemera found in the Bits & Pieces Kit (BPK). I then layered a cardstock sticker that says "love you so" from the Pretty Little Kit (PLK). Next I added a chipboard heart from the TSK, along with the Hello Lovely flair button. The gray flower is another lovely piece from the ephemera pack in the BPK.

My next two cards use the gorgeous Moonlight paper from the Cocoa Vanilla Studios Midnight collection.  For this card, I chose a cutout quote "let joy be your compass" for the main sentiment for the card. The cutout sheet can be found in the PLK.  I popped the sentiment up on foam tape for dimension and then added a chipboard heart and pretty little girl flair button from the TSK. The purple-black heart and the heart flag are both from the ephemera pack in the BPK.  I finished off the card with a stitched border.

For my final card I used a doily from the BPK. I layered the floral tag flowers and heart from the BPK ephemera pack as well.  The little "UR" stickers can be found in the PLK, and the wonderful banner and grey chipboard heart can both be found in the TSK.  Again, I finished off this card with some stitching around the border.

I really love how this set turned out, even if I have used up most of the ephemera pack now!! I hope you enjoyed my card set with the Skye kit and will consider subscribing. You can find the subscriptions HERE. I've got another layout and more cards coming up soon! Hope to see you back soon!!

Cinderella to the Ball: A Traveler's Notebook Layout with the Skye Kits

Hello Scrappy Friends! It's me, Cathi, back again.This week I have another TN layout using the gorgeous Cocoa Vanilla Midnight collection featured in the Skye Kits from the Scrappery. I love to do a few each month to go in my insert as part of my memory keeping for the month.  This week I have a layout of my eldest daughter and her boyfriend (!)  The story behind my title for this layout is that she played Cinderella in her ballet school's show last year and her boyfriend here was her Prince Charming. Of course while they were doing the show they weren't going out, but romance must have blossomed eventually because after our summer these two have been an item!!!  So of course when they went to her formal ball, I had to tease them about Cinderella finally making it to the ball!

The background paper I used is the Inspired paper from the Midnight collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio, this comes in the main Scrapbooking Kit (TSK).  I layered a lot of die cuts, chipboard pieces and stickers around the photo I used.  In this close up you can see the XOXO and flower die cuts from the Bits and Pieces Kit (BPK). The chipboard flags come from the TSK and the TY Ball alphas are from the Pretty Little Kit (PLK).  The beautiful daughter cardstock stickers are from the BPK.

In this close up you can see the watercolor ink that I splashed around the layout which is from the Colour Kit (TCK). Again you can see the layers of die cuts from the BPK and chipboard pieces from the TSK. The silver foil plus symbol puffy stickers are from a bonus gift for subscribers.

I love how the layout came out and am glad I documented this memory! I hope you enjoyed my second layout with the Skye kit and will consider subscribing. You can find the subscriptions HERE. I've got some planner designs, some cards and another layout coming up soon! Hope to see you back soon!!

More Cards with the Aubrey Kit

Hello scrappy friends!! Cathi back with some more card projects to share from the gorgeous Aubrey kit!!  I just love this Pink Paislee Auburn Lane collection and while I am waiting for my Skye Kit to arrive I needed to get a few more cards done and wanted to share them with you!

These kits are full of the papers and seem to go on forever, great value for money! I used most of the flowers in the last set of cards but had one left, so on this card I added flower die cut, some foiled gold leaves and the ribbon roses from the Pretty Little Pieces sets.  I love the gold foil thickers I used for the sentiment. They came in gold and rose gold and with so many on each sheet that I think they will last for a while.  I finished off the card with the little puffy heart stickers.

Here is a simple Thanks card using a doily layer from the Pretty Little Pieces set, a wooden frame from the collection a the puffy sticker "thanks" heart and bee. I finished off the card with the gold pearls.

My final card is for my parents anniversary this weekend.  I used a doily for this one, some washi tape from the collection and some die cuts. The blinged out bow with a pearl is from the Pretty Little Pieces kit!  Simple but so pretty!  I fhished it off with the gold hearts and alphas!
