Lisa with a 12X12 Layout share using the Amora Kits

Hey There.

Lisa back again, to share a layout using the 'Amora' Kits.

Today's layout is a totally different look achieved with the same kits. I am sure you will agree these kits are at glance mostly soft florals with lots of pink and other pastels, as they contain the gorgeous Cocoa Vanilla 'Happiness' collection.

So as you can see this is a very BLUE layout, almost monochromatic. Different shades of blue with some touches if white.

I like to challenge myself and also try to think out side the square, I think it helps keep things interesting and extends the usability of a kit.

Once I decide to do a layout like this, I pick out as many papers and embellishments from the kit in this colour - I may not use them all but I have a selection to work with.

This design is very simple and clean, but still allows you to build the layers.

I basically cut each element in half and replicated it mirrored on each side.

You can see the photo is almost a little over exposed with a blue tinge, which is also accentuated by the blue surrounding it.

Punching some shapes can help increase the amount of elements you have to work with in the same colour or coordinating.

The word pieces from Cocoa Vanilla make creating a title super simple.

Here you can see I embossed the first/last layer of white card layering to add more interest and texture. It also helps everything work together more cohesively. 

Some ephemera and enamel dots as always help bring everything together.

I hope you have enjoyed my share today and it encourages you to look at your kits and stash differently too.

Make sure you stop by the shop to check out all the goodies and kits available.

Have a great day :-)

'Sweet Vibes' - Lydia

Lydia, back to share my first creation using the ever beautiful Amora kits from The Scrappery. What better way to start my University holidays than be creating? It feels like a lifetime ago since I felt and played with pretty paper and embellishments.

These kits are sure are full of those girly colours, butterflies and florals. But the kits are full of tones of blues too.

Of course, layout wouldn’t be mine if I didn’t include one of the delicate doily’s.

I hope you have all received your kits and I hope to see some of your creations over on the Facebook group. 

Have a lovely week lovely's.

Planner Spread with Lisa - using the Skye kits

Hi there Scrappy Peeps,

Lisa here with today with something a little different.

Yes, first & foremost I am a traditional scrapbooker, I do also make cards, tags, Project Life pages, Travellers Notebook pages, embellishments, Happy Mail & Planner spreads.

Pretty much anything to do with paper really...lol 

Today I have a Planner Spread for you I created using the Skye kits 😍

I try to plan regularly, but it doesn't always happen.

I have a 'Mambi' Happy Planner this year.

I have tried many Planners, searching for that elusive Planner peace.

Here is a look at the full spread.

I used lots of bits & pieces from all the kits. The stickers work really well as they are a great size.

I cut pieces of patterned paper to fill some of the boxes.

As much as I love top pretty up a planner spread, it still needs to be very functional for me.

I used a circle punch to punch out partial circles from co-ordianting paper for the date icons.

Here is a closer look at the left & right sides.

How cute is my Month Jar! The cute jar of hearts ephemera piece with the Pink Fresh alphas were perfect to highlight the month.

The transparent stickers add a really nice touch to the pages.

I did add some random icon stickers from my stash to stretch things a bit further.

Sorry I don't have as many photos this week, just felt these few pics pretty much show it all.

I hope you have enjoyed me mixing things up & showing how versatile out kits are.

Have a great week.

Beautiful Together Layout with Lisa & the Skye kits

Hi there, Lisa here today to share a layout using the Skye kits.

I have been wanting to scrap this photo of my sister & her partner for a while now. Just a case of waiting for the perfect paper/collection.

The Skye kits hit it out of the park with so many possibilities with all the Cocoa Vanilla 'Midnight' goodies to choose from.

I am so happy with how it turned out & its created a real feature page for a special photo.

My sister had just been proposed to 💗💗💗

We got this super gorgeous die cut piece & background in our kits.

I have seen lots of people create with this, with some really stunning outcomes.

I decided to use it a little but differently.

I offset the die cut by turning it slightly so it create a different look on the pattered backing.

In this photo you can see how I offset the die cut to the background paper.

I decided I wanted a stitched outline. I use a large eraser to sit behind the background (under where I want to pierce) then use my paper piercer to create holes. I do this by eye estimating the spacing, I am not looking for perfection, I just want it pleasing to the eye.

If you feel the need, you can certainly make small dots with a pencil first.

I did a simple back stitch with a double strand of gold thread.

A note...when I applied the adhesive the die cut to attach it to the background paper, I was careful to avoid outing any adhesive on the outer circle as I knew I would be stitching it.

Some close ups...lots of soft pretty layers.

The doilies from the kit are a great way to create layers softly.

The words are a fun & easy way to create a title.

Kits & collections make creating a layout much simpler, as all the matching up is already done for you. I try to pick out a few pieces to work with at a time, to simplify things.

Thanks for stopping by I hope you have enjoyed my share today. 

Make sure you check out our kits in the shop.

Card & Tag set using the SKYE kits - with Lisa

Hi there Scrappery Peeps 💕

Welcome back to another share.

Today I am sharing a Card & two tags I have created using the 'Skye' kits.

I love the soft water colour florals in the kits. We also got some amazing liquid watercolours in the colour kit to play with.

I popped a tiny dot of each of these paints on my craft mat then blended with water until I got the desired strength.

The colour pigment level is so intense & amazing.

I used some of the floral printed patterned paper from the collection (black outline on white background) I coloured in the flowers with the watercolours, then fussy cut them out.

As you can see I got several different shades of pink & purple by adjusting the amount of water with the pigment.

The 'Skye' Kits & the 'Cocoa Vanilla' collection 'Midnight' have lots of beautiful floral elements to choose from. They are mostly in soft pastels & a watercolour look.

By making your own painted images this stretches your kit even further whilst having a play with some mixed media. This level of mixed media is great for someone wanting to give it a go without getting too messy!

This simple yet pretty card shows how I used some of the pre cut chipboard & die-cuts from the kit to compliment the hand painted flowers I created.

There are so many pretty elements in the 'Skye' Kits, which makes it so easy to create a card or tag just by creating some simple layers.

I love the silver Puffy hearts from Freckled Fawn.

Thanks for stopping by the blog, I hope you have enjoyed my share today.

Make sure you check out kits & more in the shop.

happy BIRTHDAY - Lydia

Happy Tuesday, I hope you are all having a great week so far. I am back today here in the blog to share a quick little birthday card and tag using the Skye Kits.

While working with these kits I noticed how versatile they are and that you could easily create girl and boy projects using the colour palettes.

Can I just say how in love I am with those small alphas that are in the kit. And even better that the pack includes four different colours.

And of course I used one of my favourite delicate doilies on the card.

Here is the little tag I made alongside the card. I used one of the watercolour products that was in the mixed media kit also to add some splatters.

Again I hope you are all having a great week so far and find some time this week to do something a little creative.

Week 10 Project Life - Lydia

Good morning everyone, Lydia back to share a project using the beautiful new Skye Kits from The Scrappery Kit Club. I am very excited to be back and creating after having bit of a break while I finished and graduated from High School. I am now onto a new journey of University studying a Bachelor of Photography.

Here is the full single page pocket page spread using the Pretty Little Kit (pocket page).

Currently taking it back to 2017 to try and catch up on my Project Life album and what better way to do so is using The Scrappery Kits that are full and ready to use with all the gorgeous products from Cocoa Vanilla Studio.

Oh my!! Those Thickers were perfect to add a little tiny touch of subtle sparkle to the layout for the weekly title card as well as one of those delicate doily's.

A handmade filler card using some of the Cocoa Vanilla Studio stickers.

 Perfect amount of embellishing for a journal card.

I hope you all enjoyed this little project I have made using the new Skye kits and I cant wait to share another project soon.

My First Layout with the Skye Kit

Hello everyone, its Melissa here and I'm so excited to be back designing for The Scrappery!!  The Skye kit is beautiful, and features Cocoa Vanilla Studio's "Midnight" collection.

For my first project I decided to make a layout with some of the beautiful flowers.  I used fussy cut flowers from one of the papers, and I used die cut flowers too.  I just love how they have a painterly watercolour look.  The photo is of my four year old playing in the paddling pool this summer.

I love using my Sillhouette Cameo, and was insired by the terarrium die cut in the kit that has flowers on it.  I had to recreate this, so I found a terarium cut file at Handipaper.  I painted the cut file with some gold acryclic paint that got in a previous Scrappery kit.  I had to add several coats to get the look I wanted.  

Another close up of the fussy cut flowers, I could easily create with several pieces of that paper!

I hope you enjoyed my first project. I'm looking forward to posting both on her and on the Scrappery YouTube Channel too.  

Thanks for looking!

'SNAP' - Lydia

Good morning scrappy friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend and that you have all received your new "Olivia" kits.

Today I am sharing another 12x12 layout using the last kit called "Willow". I love this kit as it has such bright fun colours. So here is my layout, featuring some hexagons.

 

 

 

These Thinkers in the "Willow" kit are stunning, I love them so much. They are just perfect to give the layout a little bit of sparkle.

 

 

I had a lot of fun picking out the patterned paper for the hexagons. Once I had worked out the placement of each one I picked a few to hand stitch around with just some white embroidery thread.

 

 

Of course I made some clusters around the layout. This cluster below has some thin embroidery thread as well as one of the pretty charms from the 'Good Vibes' Crate Paper collection which is feature in these kits, some enamel dots and that gorgeous bird ephemera from the ephemera pack. It's the bird the cutest?

 

 

I used the stamp set from the "Good Vibes" collection that is in the kit as well to add a bit of a feature to where there was some plain space on the layout. And I love that typewriter font too.

 

 

And another little cluster.

 

 

 

Overall I had some fun making this layout and I hope you are inspired to finish the weekend with some creative time.

 

Have a great day Lydia xxx
