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.

Make sure you check out our kits and other goodies in the SHOP.

'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.

Happy Mail Monday

Happy Mail #1 Amora

with Stacy

Heya lovelies ... seems like a hot minute since I have shared any creations on the blog, but so super excited to share the very first Happy Mail I made using the amazing new
 Amora TSK , PLK & BPK.



There is 4 different elements to this Happy Mail 
Element no.1 is this beautiful Purse style embellishment box which I created using a tutorial from a very talented paper crafter that i follow on YouTube. Sherry's channel is 
The Posh Paper Lady and this is the link to the tutorial for the purse I made.
Please take the time to have a look at Sherry's channel I promise you will not be disappointed and will want to make all the pretty things.
To make the purse I used a 12 x 12 pattern paper sheet from the Amora TSK which features products from another spectacular collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studios 'Happiness' 1 sheet of coloured card stock and I die cut the bow from a 6x4 card from the Amora PLK.
Element no. 2 is a die cut key chain fob which I cut from Navy card stock, I die cut another smaller bow from the same pattern paper. The bow is glued onto a part of the pretty applique that is in the BPK and I added a paper rose that is included in both the TSK & the BPK in the centre and made a little paper tassel from some of the scrap pattern paper.

Element no. 3 is a mini tag flip book ... I just put together a few pieces of card stock and covered them with a variety of different papers from the Amora Kits. Copic coloured and paper pieced some stamped images and decorated the pages using ephemera, paper flowers,cut apart  and doilies from the Kits. All of the mini pages are bound together with a book ring and along with the teal coloured string from the Amora kit i added some different trims to make a tassel to hang from the book ring.

Element no.4 is a shaker memory dex card. To create this I used pattern paper from the Amora TSK . I copic coloured and paper pieced another stamped image using a 3x4 card from the PLK to paper piece her dress and hat. I used some acetate and sewed this onto the memory dex card to make a little pocket to hold the sequins that are included in both the TSK & BPK . The scallop shaped  strips I cut from the cut apart sheet included in the TSK. I used the stay colourful ephemera piece from the Happiness collection which is backed with a tab from the cut apart sheet that is included in the PLK. I also added some paper flowers on the front of the Memory dex card ( you can never have to many pretty paper flowers )

 I am so pleased with how this came together with all 4 elements not only fun to make but have turned out stunning as everything across all kits just come together and make creating pretty things a breeze.To become part of The Scrappery subscription family send an email to   scrapperykitclub@gmail.com but be quick as there is only limited quantities of this stunning kit left.
I hope you all enjoy the first of my 'Amora' creations and cant wait till I have another to share with you guys ... 
until next time

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.

More Cards with Cathi and the Skye Kits!


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.


For my final card I used the lovely stripey Sophisticated paper from the TSK. The "So Lovely" cut out is from the PLK and I added the grey dots from the BPK. The twine is from my own stash.  I finished the card off again with a sewn border.

I love how the cards turned out, despite being more limited with embellishments this go around!!  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!!

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.

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!!
