My First Layout with the Skye Kit

Hello everyone, its Melissa here and I'm so excited to be back designing for The Scrappery!!  The Skye kit is beautiful, and features Cocoa Vanilla Studio's "Midnight" collection.

For my first project I decided to make a layout with some of the beautiful flowers.  I used fussy cut flowers from one of the papers, and I used die cut flowers too.  I just love how they have a painterly watercolour look.  The photo is of my four year old playing in the paddling pool this summer.

I love using my Sillhouette Cameo, and was insired by the terarrium die cut in the kit that has flowers on it.  I had to recreate this, so I found a terarium cut file at Handipaper.  I painted the cut file with some gold acryclic paint that got in a previous Scrappery kit.  I had to add several coats to get the look I wanted.  

Another close up of the fussy cut flowers, I could easily create with several pieces of that paper!

I hope you enjoyed my first project. I'm looking forward to posting both on her and on the Scrappery YouTube Channel too.  

Thanks for looking!

"Enjoy the little things" Layout with Lisa

Hey there

Lisa here today sharing a layout using the "Belle"kits - which feature the Cocoa Vanilla Studio "Wild at Heart" collection.

Yes, I know it's the 3rd cut file layout I have done in a row!

I am in love with them in the moment - luckily the rest of the Creative Team are mixing things up.

I just love how it requires only a little bit of patterned paper to create a striking background.

Once I adhered all the patterned paper to the back of the hearts I propped it all up on foam tape to give it some dimension.

Here are some close ups.

I chose the softer pastel repetitive patterns - as they seem to work best for me when backing a cut file. This way it doesn't really matter which way is the right way up.

I used lots of the tiny word stickers from the sticker sheet to add something more to the layout.

I also added some chipboard pieces & some sequins.

I hope you've enjoyed my share today.

"Sweet Heart" Layout with Lisa

Hi there

Lisa here today to share a layout I have created using the gorgeous "Belle" kits - which feature the gorgeous Cocoa Vanilla collection "Wild at Heart"

As you can see I have used a cut file again this week. I have got my Silhouette Cameo plugged in & easily accessible - which means I am actually using it!

Its a great way to get impact on a layout & it uses minimal paper - which makes your kit go further.

The photo is of my daughter - it was taken a few years ago, I love that it is a natural shot.

Here is an angled close up - so you can get a better look.

After backing the die cut flowers & mounting the floral wreath on foam tape - I built on it by adding some extra floral ephemera & flowers from the kit.

Some close ups...showing the Wood Veneer elements.

I'm usually not a fan of rubber charms - but these ones are a lot thinner & beautiful quality!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have enjoyed my share. You can check out the kits & other thongs we have in store here.

Forever in my Heart Layout - with Lisa

Hi there

Lisa here today sharing a layout I created of my Mum.

My Mum passed away quite unexpectedly in September last year.

I knew I wanted to scrap a photo as a special tribute to her memory, but I had to wait until I was ready. I wasn't exactly sure that I was ready...I'm really happy with how the page turned out & so it was quite healing to get it done.

I cam across this gorgeous butterfly cut file in the Silhouette shop. I knew the gorgeous "Cocoa Vanilla Studio" papers in the "Belle" kit would be a perfect fit.

I just backed the cute file with a piece of floral patterned paper - so the floral print picked up in the butterfly cut outs.

Some close ups.

I also used a soft doily, a frame & some lovely floral pieces from the ephemera pack.

I searched for some quotes online & came up with this one...which yes, is sad - but I love it.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Pop over to the shop & check out the kits & other goodies.

12x12 Layout using Cut file - "Pepper"

Hi there, Lisa here today sharing a 12x12 layout using the gorgeous "Claudia kits" from The Scrappery Kit Club.

I've used a cut file from The Cut Shoppe to create my background. The cut file was cut on my Silhouette Cameo.
The photo is of our adorable dog Pepper - she is a Spoodle & we love her to bits!

Using a cut file is a great way to create interest to your page & you usually only need scraps to create a really fabulous page.

Here are some close ups...I used lots of the gorgeous papers from the kit to mat the photo & to back some of the stars. 

I also used some of the ephemera, alpha stickers & sequins from the kit. I even managed to sneak some more of the gorgeous tissue paper in (from the kits packaging!)

I used glue with a fine tip to attach the patterned paper to the back of the stars & to attach  the entire background on to a blank piece of white card stock. I didn't apply glue everywhere as I like to create the appearance of it just sitting on the page. It helps to create depth. I also adhered some of the white star cut outs by layering them with foam tape.

I also brushed some perfect peals powder on some of the stars - it's a little hard to see in the photos, but it looks great in real life.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my layout & will pop on over to the shop if you'd like to check out our kits.
