Home Decor Projects using the Nigella Kits by Cathi

I have used up just about every piece of paper and so many embellishments from the Nigella kit, but I still have one set of projects to share with you, some home decor wreaths!!!

My first home decor heart wreath is a large one with a smaller heart in the center. I love how this turned out!! I used the gorgeous crochet doilies from the main Scrappery Kit. On top of the doily I added a journaling card, some rolled roses using the kit papers and a die cut butterfly.

In this close up you can see the huge butterfly I die cut using the papers and the clear rhinestones from the Bits & Pieces Kit.

I use the gorgeous KaiserMist in Turquoise along with some Antique Gold from the Color Kit are what I used to antique and color the white ribbon I had for this project, I love the aged, antiqued look this ribbon has now!

My second heart wreath is a smaller one, again with a gorgeous misted ribbon, doily, journaling card and die cuts!

Here again I have used the crochet doily from the Bits & Pieces Kit and you can see the gorgeous ribbon colored with the Kaisercraft Mists from the Color Kit.

For my final close up you can see my rolled roses made with paper from the Scrappery Kit Moonstruck papers and the Clear rhinestones from the Bits & Pieces Kit. I have also blinged up the butterfly as well with clear rhinestones!

I hope you like my final Nigella projects, I really got a lot of projects done with this kit and still have one paper and some embellishments left!! You can find the kits and subscriptions HERE in the store!

Planner Spread with Lisa

Hi there Scrappy Peeps

Lisa here today with a share using the Nigella kits.

I've made a Planner spread for you in my Erin Condren planner.

This year is the first time I've used an Erin Condren planner. I love the layout. The only thing I don't like is that the pages aren't removable. 

I find when I use a Planner it helps keep me more organised & have some structure.

Do you use a planner? Which planner is your fave? Id love to know.

I used all the washi that came in the kits to use as borders on my spread.

I cut pieces of patterned paper to fill some boxes. I've used some rub ons, puffy stickers & bling.

Here are some close ups...

Do you use your kits for more than just traditional Scrapbook pages? I love that these kits are so versatile!

Make sure you pop over to the website to see all the items in the shop.

Have a great day!

"Love" Card - Lydia

Good morning beautiful people, Lydia back today to share a card with you as I am on the last leg of my December "Nigella" kits. That can only mean one thing, new kits will be sent soon!!

Now this card is perfect to go with a sweet Valentines present or just as a normal card. I love how versatile these kits are for many occasions.

This was a very simple card using very little paper, a piece of a doily, puffy stickers and washi tape.

 

 

I added this left over piece of doily to add a delicate feel to the card. I also added a few of the beautiful puffy stickers from the "Moonstruck" collection.

 

I finished the layout off with a few of the KaiserCraft Rhinestones.

 

I hope you all enjoyed with cute and simple card and I will be back next week to share another creation hopefully with the new kits.

NIgella Kit: Dream Layout and Project Life Spread by Cathi

Hello again! Cathi back again with another layout and Project Life spread this week! I think this is my favorite way to add pages to my album. A layout, which gives me more artistic freedom and a Project Life spread which gives me a chance to add a lot more photos and some journaling too.  Again I am using the gorgeous Nigella kit and all the beautiful Pink Paislee Moonstruck papers and embellishments included!

This weeks layout is a cleaner layout with no mixed media. I used the gorgeous watercolor and script paper from the collection for my base page and used lots of scraps of other papers from the collection as layers underneath my photo. I fussy cut some of the gorgeous florals as well and tucked them under the photo. 

In this first close up you can see the butterfly I fussy cut from the journal cards. I glued down the center and folded up the wings for a bit of dimension.  I added a gold paper clip from the Pretty Little Pieces collection in the main Scrappery Kit (TSK).  I have added the puffy sticker that says "full hearts", a piece of a flag cork sticker, some Kaisercraft rhinestones and star rub ons.

I used the gorgeous "dream" cork sticker for my title and added the "shine bright" puffy sticker on my photo and added in a few more rhinestones here.

In this final closeup you can see the washi sticker I added under the title, more star rub ons and rhinestones and a gorgeous butterfly puffy sticker.

For my Project Life spread this week I added some more photos of Aine and her ballet BFF, they have been through a lot together on this journey! I love using a strip of the scrapbook paper on the edge to add a nice visual touch and to reinforce the hole punched areas!

For my top pocket I added photos of Aine and her friend in different roles they had over the years. Alice and the White Rabbit. Nanny and Maid. I added the puffy "keepsakes" sticker on one of the photos. I used a soft pink paper from the Moonstruck collection for the card, added the doily and star rubons, the cork sticker and washi sticker and finished it off with some journaling.

For the centre section I added a journal card from the 6x6 papers in the collection, a doily from the Pretty Little Pieces set and some rhinestones. On the photo on the right I added a "blossom and bloom" puffy sticker, more washi stickers and rhinestones.

To finish off the pocket page my final section is a 4x6 photo. I have simply added a washi sticker, a cork feather and star sticker and a few more rhinestones to tie everything together.  I really like how the layout and Project Life spread turned out and I am glad you stopped by!

Don't forget that you can find all the kits in the shop HERE.  Come join us and show us what you make!!!

12x12 Layout with Lisa

Hi there

Lisa back with you today to share a 12x12 layout using the "Nigella" kits.

I am still so in love with these kits, they are so full of goodies.

I have scrapped a photo of my daughter with her Calisthenics team in one of their comps.

My starting point for this layout was to use the colour kit Ronelle sent us this month. This is the first time we have had colour kits & they add so many possibilities to the kits.

I focused on the Heidi Swapp Silver texture paste. I used a plain card stock suitable for gentle mixed media use. I have a artists type comb in my stash which is what I used to scrape the paste back & forth until I got the desired look. The paste dries surprisingly quickly, which is  great as I am terribly impatient. I did use my heat tool to give it a gentle helping hand.

I then sprayed the Kaisermist in Turquoise (also in the colour kit) gently over the background.

I decided on the patterned paper that has the circle pattern as a strip matting and a doily to place my photo on. I then replicated the circles on the background by punching different sized circles around the page. Some circles I mounted on foam tape for dimension. I also used some puffy stickers, sequins & bling to balance everything out,

I hope you have enjoyed my share. If you would like to check out our kits & other shop items here.

"LOVE" - Lydia

Good morning beautiful Scrappery peeps, Happy Sunday! Am I glad that it is the weekend and the first week down of school. This past week I started Grade 11 so it's been quite crazy. But today I am sharing another 12x12 layout using the December "Nigella" kits.

I had seen someone cut this constellation paper into the circle and I loved it so I decided to use that, add my photo to the top right corner of the circle and add a floral cluster down in the bottom left corner.

I love adding a little bit of texture with some whit thread behind my photo and clusters, because you all know I love clusters haha.

 

Now at first I wasn't to fussed on the cork and gold glitter embellishment stickers. This was because I found they were chunky and big to what I am compared to what I like to use but I really like the contrast of the cork brown against the navy blue.

 

 

 

This layout defiantly isn't the clean and white space type of layout I love to create but I knew I had to change it up a bit to use this constellation paper. So in the bottom left corner on the edge of the circle and the little white space I had I added some fussy cut florals and some small embellishments to form a cluster to make the layout balanced.

 

 

I added two of the beautiful puffy stickers, some washi from the washi sheets, a label and the pink butterfly rub-on.

 

 

 

And to finish the layout off I added some of the KaiserCraft gold splatters using the spray that came in the TCK (The Colour Kit). I hope you all like this layout and I will be back next week for another layout.

Project Life and Layout with the Nigella Kits

I am absolutely loving the Pink Paislee Moonstruck collection included in this month's Nigella kits!! For years I did 12x12 scrapbooking, but now my Project Life and scrapbook pages are all 6x12 a great size for me and with the flatter scrapbooking I do now, I can keep things in albums instead of storage boxes and I really enjoy the new size!! This layout and Project Life spread are about my daughter growing up so fast!! I found these photos of her and her friends on my iPad and went back through my photos and found ones from when they were tiny! Can't believe how much these girls have changed!!  My layout features a photo of Aine ready for her last disco, sigh...too grown up already!

Here is my Project Life spread. I used lots of different papers from the Scrapbooking Kit (TSK) all part of the Moonstruck collection. I really am enjoying using a strip of scrapbooking papers along the edges this time! I think I will try that again.  I still can't get over how much these girls have changed!!

Here is Aine's best friend she had all through primary school, they have drifted apart now that they are in different secondary schools, but they are still friends and met up at the disco! I can't get over it now, my little babies all grown up!!  For this pocket I used the gorgeous feather paper from the collection cut into 4 x 6. I added a cork feather and star, a washi sticker, and a puffy sticker all from the TSK to this photo and added some clear rhinestones from the Bit and Pieces Kit (BPK).

Here is another friend of Aine's now and then! I have used several cork stickers and a washi sticker here and a few more rhinestones. Again, I used another piece of the 4 x 6 feather paper for this card.

For the 3x4 card slots I added some different papers for the backgrounds, a great phases of the moon paper and the teal patterned paper.  I printed out and cut some journaling strips to add to the moon paper and then added a doily and a journaling card from the 6x6 papers popped up on foam on top of the doily.  On the journalling card I added a few more rhinestones and a cork star.

On the other side of my Project Life spread, I have added a 6x12 layout.  For this layout I have used lots of goodies from the new Color Kit (TCK). I have used a piece of white cardstock for my base,  I used some mesh ribbon included in the BPK along with some fussy cut flowers and ripped papers from the Moonstruck collection to layer under the photo of my beautiful daughter.

Here you can see where I have added a paperclip from the Pretty Little Pieces set in the BPK. I added a tab from the TSK as well as puffy stickers and washi stickers. The rubons are from the BPK.

Here you can see where I used the heart stencil to add the Heidi Swapp Silver Metallic Paste. You can see where I misted with the Kaisercraft Turquoise Mist and added splashes from the Antique Gold Kaiser Mist. I added the Gingham stamp in black and pink distress inks.

This cute bow came from the TSK Pretty Little Pieces set along with the sequins. and you can see where I have added some star rub ons, and some washi stickers along with some turquoise splashes. I finished off the layout with some simple journaling "So grown up, where did the time go?"

I really enjoyed using my Scrappery Kits again and am so glad to have them in my hands again! I have another layout and Project Life spread to share next week and some cards and home decor to follow in the future weeks!! Can't wait to get more creative with these kits!!

Project Life Spread - with Lisa

Hi there - Lisa here today, sharing a Project Life spread.

I have used the gorgeous "Nigella" kits.

I do scrap both traditionally & Project Life.

I was a little slack with my PL last year, however I'm off to a good start this year.

I don't focus on weeks ie. week 1-52, rather I just scrap whatever photos i have & keep it fairly chronological.

Here is a look at the double spread, photos permitting I usually do a double layout.

Here are some more close ups...

Kits are a fabulous for completing Project Life. Everything co-ordinates so beautifully it makes creating a breeze.

Thanks for stopping by.

Make sure you check out or kits here.

"Dream" - Lydia

It's Sunday, which means another layout from me. Today I am using the new "Nigella" kits again which as I have mentioned before I am in love with.

So here is this weeks layout. This weeks layout I feature the gorgeous die cut 12x12 sheet this is in the kit. Now this has a bright mint colour ide and the white side, I personally liked the white on white look.

I love, love these Pink Paislee "Moonstruck" cork words and shapes, so I decided to use the dream as my title. And I love how these cork embellishments have gold glitter in them too. I also added a little puffy sticker under the title also.

Now you all know I love my little clusters. I used some of the "Moonstruck" rub-on's and put them on some white cardstock and fussy cut them out so that they had more of a 3D look. I also added some of the beautiful gold sequins.

With this die cut 12x12 piece defiantly wanted to back the butterflies with some of the patterned paper. I love how the page just came together once I had backed some of the butterflies.

And last but not least another cluster up on the left hand side with a little tab, puffy sticker and some gold sequins.

I hope you have all started/have your new kits and be sure to share what you create over in the Facebook group.

Have a wonderful week ahead.
