November Kit - A Layout & Card Gift Set

Hi friends! Karla here today with two more projects using the gorgeous Scrap Shotz November Kit Club featuring the Jen Hadfield Along The Way Collection. If you haven't already checked out the last two layouts I created with it, be sure to get the details, along with a process video HERE. This will be the third layout I put together and I love that the beautiful colours and designs can go with so many different themes!

I decided to use the December Sketch from the Creative Scrapbooker Sketchy Challenge and created a circular pattern with the shiny blue Kaisercraft Glitter Tape in the kit. I created a gathered effect by folding it back and forth and then using my sewing machine to stitch through it. 

There are so many pretty cards in the 3x4 cut apart sheet included with the patterned papers, and I decided to use an oval die to cut out the light teal card and fussy cut the house from another card (below). I also fussy cut the butterflies from the sheet of butterfly patterned paper and used lots of the diecut ephemera, buttons, stickers and enamel dots from the kit to create a wreath look on my layout.

The pretty gold foil on the framed Happy Day sticker coordinates wonderfully with the Gold Foil Puffy Letter Thickers and the foiled sentiment on the word sticker! I even used some square and circle stitched dies to diecut various black and white elements to tuck behind the glitter tape.

Next, I decided to make a 6 card set to give as a gift to one of my daughter's teachers at Christmas. I used the patterned paper sheet of sentiments and since I was on the wreath kick 😉 I decided to keep it going! I wanted to keep these fairly basic and they didn't take me long to do at all. I layered leftover bits of paper, even using the pretty branding strips, to create themed cards. I added some Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker to the front of the sentiment wreaths, which I cut out with a stitched circle die, and softened some of them with my waterbrush. I even coordinated the inside of the card, which you can see beside each card front below, to match! I know the teacher is going to love having these handmade cards ready to give out to her own friends!

Even after creating three layouts and six cards I still have lots of product left over from this kit! Thanks so much for stopping by today. Be sure to check out the whole Kit Reveal post HERE for closeups and a video! You can find the kit at the Scrap Shotz store here, and pick up any fun Kit Add-Ons here. I hope you have as much fun playing with these goodies as I have!

November Kit Reveal - Layouts and Video!

Hello friends! Karla back today with two layouts using the beautiful Scrap Shotz November Kit Club featuring the Jen Hadfield Along The Way Collection. I love that this kit can be used for photos throughout the year, and I decided to finally get my maternity pics scrapped! I really love the soft colours in this collection and felt they really made my photos shine.

Here's a look at the video where you can see how I put it all together!

And some closeups:

I'm using a sketch I found on Instagram and I love how the beautiful papers look layered together. I used a 3x4 card from the cut apart page to add a pretty sentiment and then popped up one of the adorable diecut ephemera. 

The wood buttons are so sweet and perfect to add detail and texture to the page. I tucked in a few sentiment stickers from the sticker pack filled with three sheets of phrases and words. The little diecut girl is just so cute!!

I added the gold foil puffy stickers from the kit in a circular pattern for my title and added a cute heart covered with the beautiful Kaisercraft sparkly tape in the kit. Be sure to check out the video to see how I do this!

For the second layout I used a sketch from Pagemaps. I love starting with a sketch and finding creative ways to layer. 

The pretty gold foil diecuts are perfect to add colour to if you want so I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to colour in the flowers and leaves for a lovely effect.

I used a stitched circle diecut to cut a sentiment from one of the 12x12 patterned papers and then used my Zig Markers again to colour in the leaves. I added some black sparkly letters from my stash to the beautiful gold Thickers from the kit to complete my title.

I really love the little wooden framed stickers included with the kit! I layered one over the sweet girl diecut and added some sequins and a diecut star covered with the Kaisercraft sparkly blue tape from the kit. The tiny enamel dots in the sticker pack are just right for adding an extra touch to the page!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the previous blog post HERE for a closeups and photos of the whole Kit Reveal! You can find the kit at the Scrap Shotz store here, and pick up any fun Kit Add-Ons here. Have an awesome, crafty weekend friends!

Sharing More Love From the November Kit

The November kit had me overflowing with creativity. My layout below was inspired by the wood plank background *swoon* I tiled the Project Life cards to create a portion of the background.

The gorgeous chipboard elements flanked a special image that I have held onto for several years! It captured a special moment during an autumn walk with my daughter :-) In addition to the chipboard, I layered the phrase and puffy stickers around the image. I hope this layout is creatively inspiring for you!

With my pattern paper scraps, I quickly made a set of simple cards featuring the ample chipboard pieces. This card was created in under 5 minutes!

The remaining two cards showcased an interesting focal point of layered chipboard pieces.

And my last card ...

Thank you for dropping by - I look forward to seeing what you make with the November kit!

November Kit Reveal - 2nd Project

Hello Scrap Shotz fans! 

It's Julia here and I am back to reveal my 2nd project using the November kit.

Here is my finished project - 

I started with an 8x10 canvas that I painted with dark brown and black paint. My focal point is going on the reverse side of the canvas.

I took some burlap and used hot glue to adhere it to the edge of my frame. I used pieces bigger than what I needed then trimmed it to fit once glued down.

I chose the pieces from the kit that I would use for my focal point. I also used Burnt Copper Leaves Embossing Powder from Emerald Creek. This is my fave ep and yes, it's available from Scrap Shotz!

Thanks for joining my this month for my November Kit project reveals! 

Watch for more inspiration to come from Virginia, Sylvie and Katelyn.

Layouts with the Scrap Shotz November Kit

Hello! Winter has arrived in Calgary this week...and I so grateful that I had my winter tires installed. It makes me appreciate the beauty that autumn graces us with.

The November kit features Amber Moon from Prima. It is a stunning kit with heavily weighted papers with beautiful patterns and foil accents. In my layout below, I tried to use as many different pieces from as many pattern papers as I could (truth be told, I could not decide what to choose!). The 5x7 images were accented with the chipboard piece, dyed leaves, puffy stickers and gems. I added some black splatters of paint too!

Close-up images of my accent clusters which I so love to do....can you see the glitter on the leaves? and the light bounces off the gems as each gem is faceted.

The gold foiled accents add so much to my projects....and I just realized that one of the chipboard pieces fell off and is photographed on an angle (sorry!)

This kit is so versatile....here is a layout celebrating my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. The golds, browns and burnt umbra colours enhanced my family photos.  As a backdrop to the photos, I used the Project Life cards.

Here is a close-up of the gold foiling...the sticker sheet had oodles of phrases to accent my layout.

For some texture, I wrapped some gold quilting thread around the chipboard tag and surrounded it with strips of pattern paper and stickers from the sticker sheet.

I hope you found inspiration and I thank you for dropping by the blog!
