Lisa with some Interactive Memory Dex cards and a Gift Bag

Hey There.

Lisa here today to share my first creations using the Amora Kits  💗

Have you seen these Kits? They are so gorgeous, yes I always say that lol 

BUT ... They have so much Cocoa Vanilla Studio Happiness range in them and as usual Ronelle (Boss Lady) has done an amazing job adding lots of coordinating goodies.

My creations are a bit different today, lately I am addicted to making my own envelopes/bags.

I am also loving making Memory Dex cards!

I have a Rolodex, so I collect them myself - I also send them to friends as Happy Mail.

Once you start making these envelopes, you cant stop!

I have made them in all sizes!

They are really easy to make, you can find lots of tutorial online - just search for Policy Envelope.

They are a great way to use up your patterned paper pads, in this instance i used a 12x12 double sided paper from the kit. 

I made a bag topper using some patterned paper scraps and some ephemera.

I add some double sided tap to the seal of the envelope, but I don't use it - I keep it for my recipient, so they can re-use it.  Just use some low tack washi to close it.

The first card is a pretty shaker window feature.

The sequins in this kit are Divine, the colour palette!

I used the tulle in the kit instead of acetate to hold the sequins in and add interest.

Remember even if you don't make or collect Memory Dex cards, my idea can easily be transferred to a card, a layout or a journal.

I made the circular shaker piece using a die cut from the ephemera pack.

I then adhered it to my card base with foam tape, then layered it up with lots of pretties.

This next Memory Dex is a little different on how it is interactive.

Quite often in Happy Mail Tea of Coffee bags are exchanged as a fun little token

I made this card heavily focused on butterflies and decided to add a belly band to hold a tea bag.

I also made a little pocket to hold a tag on the reverse.

This card was all about the colour pallet, butterflies and layers.

Here is a pic of the front without the Tea bag inserted.

I kept the tag on them using some of the butterfly stickers from the  sticker sheet.

Here is the reverse of the card, a mini pocket to fit my tag.

I really apologise for the varied lighting in the photos, Melbourne's Winter uggghh...Even editing them leads to such inconsistency.

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

A Mini Pocket Letter/Happy Mail with Lisa

Hi there.

Lisa here today to share a project I have created using the Skye kits.

Get ready for Cocoa Vanilla 'Midnight' overload!

Today I have a mini pocket letter which I am going to send to a friend as some Happy Mail.

I am nearing the end of my kits, so this project is perfect to make - it uses up lots of bits & pieces.

I used a coin collectors plastic sleeve, as I really like the size of the squares. Super cute!

I have lots of close ups for you today. Rather than babble on, you can check out the pics - they are pretty self explanatory.

You name it, I have used it. Scraps of paper, tags, stickers, flair.

I have filled quire a few of the pockets with pretties that my Happy Mail recipient can use.

Stickers, Tags, Wood Veneer, sequins & Bling.

Make sire you check out our kits & all the other goodies on our website.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great week.

'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

 

 

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.
