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 :-)

Lisa with a 12X12 Layout The Amora kits

Hi there, Lisa here to share a layout using the Amora Kits 💓

Now I know nearly every scrapper there ever was has already created beautiful pages with the Floral wreath that is from Cocoa Vanilla's 'Happiness' collection.

However I could not resist using it!

Here is my take on it.

I wanted to keep it fairly simple, as most of the work is already done for you. The beautiful florals and ink spots are just stunning.

My goal was to maintain the wreath as the main feature and duplicate some fo the floral by creating layers and depth.

I added quite a few of the die cut floral pieces to do this, adhering them with foam tape.

Some neutral layers and a pretty doily to matte the photo.

Here are some close ups of the layers and details.

Some tiny word stickers and sequins always add the final touches.

Adding a flair always adds another great feature and focal point.

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

Bloom & Grow Layout - with Lisa using the SKYE kits 💜

Hi There,

Lisa here today sharing a layout using the Skye kits.

My sister had her first baby recently, which is very exciting - it's so lovely to have a new little nephew.

Not only to cuddle but to scrapbook!

I went with a 8.5 X 11 layout, I have been doing a few pages this size recently - just to mix things up a bit. It also works quite well when scrapping a smaller/single photo.

Isn't Noah just adorable 💙

So most of the projects I have done so far with the Skye kits have been pretty soft pastels & florals.

I am not about girl being pink & boys being blue by any means, I did however want a softer more neutral look for this photo.

I picked out some blue, grey & white pieces to use as a basis for my layout, who would have thought there were so many no pink, peach pastels in this collection/kit.

Limiting what you have to work with can make things much easier than becoming overwhelmed.

Here are some closeups of the layout & the detail.

How perfect is the jar of hearts embellishment!

The Vellum layer softens everything.

I love the Silver Freckled Fawn puffy hearts they add a great blingy element without being too over the top.

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

Snap Chat Moments Layout using the SKYE kits

Hi Scrappery Peeps,

Lisa here today to share a layout using the gorgeous Skye kits.

I have kept this layout fairly clean & simple as it I used a 8.5 x 11 layout & I have used the stunning patterned papers - which create their own beautiful back grounds.

I used some of the pre cut project life mattes to back the photos. I also used some of the pre cut frames to create some layers. (TIP* Cut these in half so you get more pieces to use)

A few enamel dots & a banner on the top right help bring everything together.

The die cut flowers were a perfect subtle addition to the page - I placed them at different heights some on foam tape & some on double sided tape.

I used some of the die cut words & the super cute tiny stickers to create my title. I love mixing it up & using more than one type of alpha.

The chipboard bunting was a perfect finish to bring all the colours together & put something in that corner in order to create a visual triangle on the layout. This makes a layout more pleasing to the eye.

Please pop over to the shop to check out our kits - the value is amazing!

Have a great day.

Cute tags created with the "Willow" kit

Hi there 

Lisa here today to share a fun project using the "Willow" kits,

There were so many cute elements in these kits - I thought I'd have a go at making some tags.

It's a great project to do if you're lacking a bit of mojo. You don't really need a plan - just the supplies to hand, then it all seems to come together.

Once I had started the first one my creativity just kept flowing. These tags will make a good addition to my stash for gifts or happy mail.

I used some die cut tags from the die cut 12x12 page and I cut some of my own tags from the patterned paper.

I used various elements to decorate them, stickers, ephemera, washi tape, cork stars, bling - all from the kits & I punched some shapes with scraps.

Some close ups of the detail...

More close ups...

Thanks so much for stopping by, I hep you've enjoyed my share. Pop over to the shop to check out our kits & other goodies available.

'magic' - Lydia

Good morning beautiful creative people, Lydia back finally to share another project. It's been a long time! It's been a crazy start to the year and getting used to grade 12 and all that it has install for me this year, including the huge workload that has taken weeks to get used to. But I am finally on top and ready to get fully organised and start creating and sharing again.

What better way to start sharing again with the brand new 'Olivia' kits. These kits are so sunning filled with the beautiful pastel colours of the new Cocoa Vanilla Studio collection 'More Than Words'.

So today I am sharing my first creation of a 12x12 layout using these kits.

 

I always find it so easy to create using colours and elements that I love. So working with the pinks, blues and butterflies this layout came together quite quick.

 

For this layout I did go for a more minimalistic style using the vellum black and white florals with the pops of pinks and corals from the butterflies. I also love the contrast from the greys to the bold black of those gorgeous Thickers. 

 

 

Of course I had to add some dimension using these KaiserCraft florals as a cluster under the photo.

 

 

On the opposite bottom side of the image to the KiaserCraft florals, I added a few pieces of ephemera from the ephemera pack as well as a ever beautiful flair from the collection. I also added some enamel dots/hearts around the whole layout too.

 

 

Over the whole layout are fussy cut butterflies from one of the 12x12 papers. I paired the butterflies with some of the vellum florals. I love how they are give the feeling that they are fling around the page.

 

 

 

And that is my first project using these kits. My fingers are crossed that you all receive your kits very soon to be able to start creating with such beautiful products.

 

Have a great Sunday.

Lydia xxx



 

 

 





12 x 12 Scrapbook Layout using the "Willow" kits

Hi there 

Lisa here today to share a layout using the "Willow" kits.

These kits are certainly one of my faves with all the gorgeous Crate Paper "Good Vibes" collection.

The pom pom trim frames & the super fun embellishments are perfect for these snap chat photos.

Using layers of tags & frames angled is a great way to draw attention to your photos while still keeping everything cohesive - so it doesn't look out of place.

Here are some close up of the detail...I punched some tiny hearts out of the patterned paper - which went really well with the spray of gems.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you've enjoyed my share.

"Wish" Project Life Spread with Lisa

Hi there

Lisa here today to share a project life spread using the gorgeous "Willow" kits.

My daughter & I both love Cactus images - so this collection is perfect to scrap some of her photos.

Being 19 she barely lets me get a photo of her these days - Birthdays & Christmas I can usually sneak in a few.

I used lots of different things from the kits, the cut aparts, ephemera & gorgeous teal glitter thickers all go so beautifully together.

The Crate Paper frames are so pretty & full of bling - they helped me easily create a stunning title card.

The bling is a great way to accentuate the cards to help bring everything together.

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

Make sure you check out our fabulous kits in the shop.
