April Kit Pt.3: Home Sweet Home, Crafty Helper and More

Hello Friends!

I hope you've been enjoying all the Creative Team inspiration! 

Rosie back to share my final kit projects using the April kit, this is another Mother's Day layout I made with the kit, this one with myself and almost all my kids, lol...hard to have them all in the same room at the same time once they get jobs.

The centre of this layout was created during this Vicki Boutin FB live, with Distress Oxide Inks and the Altenew Painted Butterfly stamp and die set. The butterflies are also heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I stamped butterflies in with the same Oxide inks used for the "blown butterflies" and  die cut them with the matching die.

I cut the paper down and matted it on black card stock, the photo itself was also matted on black card stock and layered over plaid patterned paper from the kit which was back with Kraft and then black card stock. Kit chipboard, stickers, a brad and sparkly confetti embellish the layout.

I used one of my new purchases, embossing glaze, on this next project:

It was fun to document my son helping me stitch on a layout a couple of years ago.

I applied embossing ink with an embossing dauber to the edges of the library drawer, text patterned paper and the title and sub-title die cuts.

I then applied Walnut Stain Distress Embossing Glaze  and set with a heat tool.

I love the extra interest it gives along the edges.

Now for a few more cards :)

So easy to combine patterns when using a paper line, everything coordinates very easily as you can see from the card on the top. 

The bottom card has a patterned paper base matted on card stock and I used a combination of the chipboard, die cut and sticker hoops, the "hangers" are hand drawn with a black marker and the sentiment is from the Taylored Expressions Simple Strips Background Set. This is a great set, it stamps 18 varied sentiments that you die cut with the matching die. I stamped, die cut and then keep them in a ziplock bag and pull one out when I need one!

A little shine is added with PPP confetti, you can use anything shiny from your stash :).

When I saw this paper I decided I wanted to fussy cut some blooms:

Once the fussy cutting was done I cut a piece of card stock into a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" notecard. 

Next, I taped it to the Nicole Wright Designs Circlet Stencil and applied Mother of PearlNuvo Embellishment Mousse through the stencil.

I then arranged the fussy cut blooms to my satisfaction, adhered the larger with foam adhesive and the other two with liquid adhesive. A kit brad and enamel dots complete the card accents.

Scrap Shotz April Kit: Pt.2

Hi!

Rosie back again, with a few more projects using the April Farmhouse Market kit, the kit itself is sold out now but I've linked to the Single Kit purchase option above!

I'm going to start out with a couple of cards:

{click directly on the photo for the best view}

Slimline cards measure 8 1/2" x 3 1/2", are designed to fit inside a #10 business size envelope and require no additional postage. 

I created a couple here and love how they turned out.

I die cut the pink patterned paper with the Tim Holtz Alterations Courtyard die and then embellished with kit chipboard, "sentiment" cut from the kit paper and then added some shine with Pretty Pink Posh Confetti.

I cut a strip from the tags patterned paper and then layered a tag chipboard piece over the centre tag. The tag holes are embellished with Studio Katia Tiny Iridescent Bubbles.

I think this next project is my most favourite made with the kit.

This came together very quickly and the colours were perfect for that pink plush bunny ;).

I chose 6 different patterns, I'm sure at least 2 are the "b" side but I don't remember which is which, lol.

I tore the papers creating a white "border" and then layered them over each other. The photo is matted  first on white card stock and then patterned paper from the kit.

I then scattered kit brads, chipboard and PPP confetti to embellish the layout.

Thanks for stopping in! 

I'll be back later this month with one more post and I have not yet used up all the kit! 

Stay tuned for all the posts from the team!

Happy Crafting!
