Amora Kit Creations

Amora Kit Creation #2 with Stacy

Hello Lovelies ... thanks for taking the time to come and have a look at my creations from the last couple of weeks that I have made from the amazing Amora Kit.

Creation #2 is a Happy Mail Tag Flipbook.

I decided to make this a very pretty project and the colours and pretty items that are included in the Amora kit made it very easy to put it together ...

I copic coloured Stamping Bella images and thought the images went well with my pretty theme.

For one of the pages I created a crape paper rosette adding it to a doily from the Amora kit and topping it with a tulle bow, a paper flower, and a tiny tag with one of the word stickers from the Cocoa Vanilla Studios Sticker sheets all included in the TSK & BPK

To finish up creation #2 I used a quote from the Happiness 12 x 12 cut apart sheet included in the PLK.

I am very pleased with how this pretty little Happy Mail come together ... 

Amora Kit Creation #3 with Stacy 

Deciding to go with an off the page project this time i chose to decorate a mini clipboard.

Firstly I have been wanting to use the beautiful The Scrappery packaging into my crafting so in this creation the backing for my digital stamped image from All Dressed Up is the gorgeous black and white packaging you will recognise from the kits, I think the black and white stripes look amazing with the beautiful colours included in the kits.

On the removable focal point, copic coloured digital stamp is framed with a frame from the Happiness ephemera and I have attached a paper tassel also from the ephemera. Along with the paper flowers included in Amora Kit I put in a few from my stash.

When removing the focal point the clipboard is still very usable. I have used scrap pieces of paper and glued them down randomly adding a doily and doing a layer of mod podge over the lot. After that had dried I put on a word also from the Happiness collection ... and a scrap piece of lace I had on my desk and thought it was perfect with this Kit.

I hope you have enjoyed what I have shared with you this week. I had so much fun making creation #2 & #3 from the Amora Kit and maybe I have inspired you to make something a bit different then a scrapbook layout or a page in your project life. With all the goodies that are included in The Scrappery Kits why not do it all.

Please if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask in the comments below.

To purchase the Amora Kits please contact Ronelle via email through The Scrappery online shop.

Unitl next time ... take care

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.

Make beautiful purse style embellishment box

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.

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.

Happy Mail Monday

Stretching my Skye Kit

with Stacy

Welcome back lovelies to Happy Mail Mondays.

This week I will be showing you how I made what I had left from the TSK & BPK  Skye kits stretch to make one more creation even with only having the smallest amount of one piece of the pattern paper left. (see photo above).

I took from my stash papers I liked that went with the remaining pattern paper from the TSK.

In the photo above are a collection of different pattern papers and coloured card stock. I didn't choose anything that was going to take away from the ephemera pieces and stickers i had left to use. 

Front cover - Frames and heart tab were in the 'Midnight' ephemera pack from Cocoa Vanilla Studios ( PBK ), the chipboard banner was from the Cocoa Vanilla Studios 'Midnight' chipboard pack.

The little girl is a CC designs stamp and I stamped her used my Copics to colour her and then stamped her again on the piece of pattern paper I still had from the 'Skye' TSK and paper pieced her little dress and shoes.

The 2nd & 3rd pages of the Flip Book include a memory dex card ( on the left ) i will get back to that a little later. On the opposite page I again stamped a CC designs stamp but this time left her black and white just using some Stickles to add some sparkle to her skirt. I used a frame from the chipboard pack and randomly placed ephemera around the outside of the frame. On the tab I used one of the little word stickers from the sticker pack from the 'Midnight' collection which is included in the BPK. I was really happy how pretty this page turned out.

This is the Memory Dex Card ( if you are unsure of what a memory dex card is there are a lot of videos about them on YouTube and lots of posts on Pinterest) I really like adding them when I make Happy Mail as a lot of my PenPals collect them & it is another different type of paper craft to enjoy creating.

This particular memory dex card I made using a die i have and it is a little pocket. I used magnets as a closure to keep the flap closed and then I cut flowers from the papers i was using including the paper I had left from the 'Skye' TSK. When i was die cutting the flowers I had the idea that maybe when I use the brad to keep the flowers together they would magnetically join to the magnet i had hidden in the flap of the memory dex card & my idea was a success letting me interchange the different flowers. I have never seen this done before & was thinking of all the possibilities that I could make for future memory dex cards. Not only using brads in different shapes but also adding metal pieces. 

I call this the interchangeable Memory Dex Card.

The 3rd & 4th pages ... On the 3rd page I made a pocket and added some die cut paper bags, on the front of the pocket I added a decorated one of the die cut paper bags using paper scraps and a flair from the 'Midnight' collection from the TSK. Inside the paper bag I added some ephemera to share with my PenPal. Page 4 is another page I had fun decorating using a beautiful doily ( there was doilies included in both the TSK & BPK )

I again used a CC design stamp and copic coloured and paper pieced her.

The 5th & 6th pages - Page 5 ( on the right in the photo above ) is my 3rd decorative page using chipboard pieces & ephemera with my copic coloured and paper pieced image.

 The 6th page is a pocket I made with a flap that has  a  tab closure with velcro on it.

I made some decorated die cut tickets and added some blank ones for my PenPal to have to decorate.On the outside of this flap i used a doily (from my stash) some of the pattern paper from the TSK  as well as an ephemera piece from BPK and a little word sticker from the sticker pack in the BPK. Inside the pocket I again used more ephemera pieces.

In the photo above are the items I have left from the 'Skye' TSK, BPK, & PAK.

Pieces I will now add into my stash from this kit I have made 

3 very chunky Happy Mails,

 a box of note cards,

 used some of the paper in my art journal

 so as you can see you will really get your money's worth when purchasing kits from

The Scrappery. I have one more Project that will Probably share on The Scrappery Instagram.

Thanks for dropping by and having a look at what I have created ... have a great week.

Happy Mail Mondays

Stacy & the 'Skye' Kit

Hello Lovelies ... This Monday I am coming at you with something a little different ... my projects of choice for The Scrappery Design Team are Art Journaling (as you have seen on Messy Monday's on this blog) that I am a newbie to, and my other crafty passion is creating and sending out Happy Mail to people all over the world. I have been doing Happy Mail for coming up to 3 years (WOW where does the time go) and I am still very much in love with the concept as I was when I first discovered it on Pinterest. This will be my second Happy Mail I have created with the fantastic 'Skye' kit using the TSK , BPK & PAK..

This Happy Mail was sent all the way to Texas, USA.

The size is pretty much the same as a personal Travellers Notebook. I chose some digital stamps that i have in my ever-growing digital stamp library (I think i may have a problem lol) these particular digital stamps are from Tiddlyinks & I Copic coloured them to coordinate with the beautiful Cocoa Vanilla Studios 'Midnight' collection which features in the 'Skye Kits'

The very pretty and glittery Bonjour thickers which are included in the TSK make a beautiful feature of the recipients name.

This Happy Mail that I created is a tri-fold type booklet with 2 fold out's and a pocket. 

With plenty of beautiful papers ( TSK )  to choose from even after already making my first Happy Mail and having the coordinating solid colour cardstock from the PAK made this project come together so easily ...

Once the foundation of the Booklet was made and I laid down all the pretty papers it was time to make it extra pretty with the Cocoa Vanilla Studio 'midnight' die cut ephemera & clear stickers included in the BPK. I used dies from my stash to cut out of scraps that I had no intentions of wasting to make little envelopes for my Happy Mail penpal ... also out of the scraps I made a little banner just cutting out small triangles and attaching them to a piece of string I had lying on my desk. 

In the photo below is the first fold out (on the right ) on this page I included some more dies cut from the pattern paper & from the plain coloured cardstock. On the page in the middle, I used another digital stamp from Tiddlyinks and Copic coloured her. The frames the heart and the tab are all from the die cut ephemera (BPK) and the vellum behind the background frame is also included with the pattern paper in the TSK. It is a awesome quality A4 sheet of vellum from American Crafts, just adds a little bit of softness to the background.

This photo below is the second fold out. I attached a envelope using some pattern paper to hold my note for my pen pal and I just had to share some of the amazing pretty bits that are included in both the TSK & BPK. In with these pretty  are a whole lot of pretty ... including beautifully matched sequins ... beads ... little charms ... dainty paper doily ... the tag that I used to tie on the little pack I am sharing was even in with the pretty bits.

I finished off this Happy Mail by making a Memory Dex card using little bits and pieces I had left over from the pattern paper and cardstock.

I hand made a rosette using my score board. I die cut and embossed a circle and placed a die cut ephemera piece on top ... with more little off cuts of pattern paper I die cut a tiny bow and sat it as the final layer for my rosette. I used another embossing folder to emboss the coloured cardstock from the PAK and stuck it all to my memory dex base I had also die cut. Packed in a self sealing plastic bag and made my own bag topper with some more off cuts and added a heart and xoxo piece from the die cuts.

 My Happy Mail pen pal loved what I had made for her and I am hoping that you guys like it also ... I think a lot of scrapbooking techniques are incorporated into making Happy Mail when it comes to the decorating so maybe I may inspire some scrappy ladies also ... thanks once again for taking the time to catch up with me on a Monday ... from now on every second Monday will be Messy Monday's ... with every other Monday being Happy Mail Monday's ... I really hope you come back again 

💙 Stacy
