Cocoa Vanilla "No Limits" Scrapshotz Kit Take 2

 

Hello! I'm back with more layouts from the April Scrapshotz kit - Cocoa Vanilla "No Limits." What a fun patterned paper this one is! I used a No Limits Pocket Card for the journaling and embellished with chipboard and lightning bolts from the Die Cut Ephemera pack. Lots of foam used under various elements on this layout gives it depth and dimension!

 

Another hockey layout! This time I drew a border around the outside of the patterned paper with a black pen and used a phrase from the No Limits Die Cut Titles pack for the title. A couple of cards from the Pocket Card pack for a journaling spot and a ticket out of the Die Cut Ephemera to finish it off.

This simple card used a die cut from the Die Cut Ephemera and a word strip from the 6x12 Accessory Stickers. To add to the galaxy effect, I used some Tonic - Nuvo Dream Drops Enchanted Elixir for stars. So pretty! They add a shimmery glow to the background.

The main sentiment on this card was die cut twice with the Lawn Fawn Giant Thank You Die (available in the store!) from patterned paper out of the No Limits Paper Stack. The rest of the embellishments are from the 8x12 Chipboard sheet and the 6x12 Accessory Stickers. To give the card a little extra, I used Ranger Glossy Accents on all the bits as well as the die cut. I love the smooth shine that it gives the card.

This slimline card was created from bits and pieces from the chipboard, stickers and ephemera that makes up this fabulous line. I hope that I've inspired you to create with this awesome kit!

 

Cocoa Vanilla "No Limits" Scrapshotz Kit

 

I was thrilled to be able to work with the April Scrapshotz kit featuring the No Limits line from Cocoa Vanilla! This line is perfect for sport photos as well as almost any other event that life presents. I used it for this double page spread of my grandsons hockey season.

The title on the left side of the layout is from the chipboard embellishments. I wrote the journaling on a pocket card and the stars and banner are also from the 12x12 chipboard sheet.

The big titles on this side are from the Die Cut Titles. There are so many to choose from in this package! The stars and circle embellishments are from the Die Cut Ephemera package, and the word banners are from the 6x12 Accessory Stickers.

I had to use the paper from the paper stack to make cards! This big die cut was cut from the patterned paper with a Lawn Fawn die that is in the store here Big Hugs. I backed it with a second die cut in black and used small chipboard embellishments along with some Ebony Black Crystal Nuvo Drops that are in the store. This card would work for so many things.

For this card I used some starry patterned paper and a pocket card with some stickles on the letters. So colorful and easy! The stars are from the Die Cut Ephemera pack and got a Stickles treatment as well.

This card uses a sentiment from the Die Cut Ephemera package and word strips from the 6x12 Accessory Stickers. I used foam squares to pop up the sentiment and puffy stars to highlight the word strips.

Thanks for looking! I will be back later this week with more projects from this awesome line.

Enjoy the Ride: January Scrap Shotz Kit

Hello! 

Rosie back with a few more projects featuring the January Scrap Shotz kit. 

Wonderful Happy Day

The papers in this kit are so beautiful I didn't want to cut in to them so I decided to stretch them out by cutting leaves with the Altenew Leaf Mix Die set. I die cut all the overlay leaves from white card stock which I then inked with Altenew Minty Mint ink.

I splattered the background with white ink spray prior to adhering the leaves with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape.

The title is from the kit chipboard and I also added a few mint enamel dots from the kit.

Happy Birthday

There's a great selection of ephemera and chipboard in this kit so I combined them to create this birthday card. It's hard to see from this photo but I inked clouds in the sky and also a grassy hill along the bottom.

I layered the happy chipboard over the windmill which is adhered with foam tape. The kit alphas complete the sentiment.

Cherish Friendship

I had a lot of fun creating this layout! I misted mixed media card stock with Dylusions Black Marble Shimmer Spray and then die cut with the Altenew Ornate Cover Die. I also die cut one of the patterned papers with the same die and used them as photo mats behind the photos.

After placing the blue paper at the top of the card stock I filled in the rest of the page with Enjoy the Ride washi tape. Your kit includes 1/3 pack of washi tape, I picked up the Washi Tape Add On and used all of the tapes here.

The layout has been embellished with the kit chipboard and ephemera and I created the hanging line for the birdcages from enamel dots and pen details.

So far I've done 3 layouts and 2 cards and barely made a dent in the kit so that means more crafting with this great kit!

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!

Scrap Shotz April Kit: Farmhouse Market Pt.1

Hello!

Rosie here, to share some of my kit projects created with the April Scrapbook kit featuring Carta Bella's Farmhouse Market.

{Click on each photo to see the details close up}

This layout is based on the April Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Sketch:

I die cut these flowers with the Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms die, an oldie but goodie :)

I layered the die cuts and finished them up with a kit brad after adding some dimension with a flower shaping tool.

The title is a combination of a chipboard work and kit Thickers.

I created a second Mother's Day layout also inspired by the sketch above.

Again, I used the die cut florals and added a sticker, a couple of chipboard pieces and a few of the die cuts from the kit ephemera.

I embellished the centre of this flower with one of the kit brads.

 There are lots of great patterns in this kit and I had a lot fun combining them on some cards:

I really love the plaids and ginghams in this kit and it was fun mixing them together. Honestly I was at a bit of a loss at how to use the farmhouse sticker as I don't live on a farm...lol. I just approached it as an embellishment and I like the end result.

I've got a bunch more projects to share so I'll be back in bit with those :)

Thanks so much for looking and Happy Crafting!

March Scrapshotz Kit - Pinkfresh Studio My Favorite Story - Take 2

 

Pastel rainbows and blooms! This pretty line of paper makes you long for spring! On this layout I used the rainbow to write my journaling. Under the matted photo, I put a trio of the lovely tags and at the bottom is a bit of popped up ephemera. A few enamel dots spread over the page and it was complete. 

For my second layout, I found this older photo of my granddaughter and had to laugh! Since we are social-distancing and self-isolating, the world is worried about having enough toilet paper. This toilet paper pile is pure gold right now! I used a couple of frames to do my journaling in, and popped one on top of the other.

There is a cascade of blooms mixed with chipboard circles down the diagonal of the page and I used plenty of pop dots to give it dimension.

 

And finally, the cards from the scraps! I love using left over bits of ephemera and scraps of leftover patterned paper to create cards for my stash.

This one is just a tag embellished with a few drops of Nuvo Crystal Drops.

This happy card was created by stamping the sentiment from the Stamping Village Happy Birthday set (available here!) right on a leftover tag, then adding a bow of binding tape and some enamel dots. I colored the hearts with a watercolor pen.

These cards used leftover paper blooms from the kit with a frame on one and the other highlighted with Nuvo drop centers. These cards will work for any event.

This card used another pretty frame and I used a greeting from the Taylored Expressions - Simple Strips Stamp Set Birthday.  These sentiments, along with the dies and the backer dies, are made in advance and stored for quick card making! Taylored Expressions has a few different sets that are cut with the same dies. Love them!!! 

Thanks for stopping by for a look at my kit projects. Be well and safe, everyone!

March Scrapshotz Kit - Pinkfresh Studio My Favorite Story

Hello! I sincerely hope this finds you all well and busy at home during this time of social distancing. I manage to keep busy in my craft space. Thank goodness for our hobby! Today I am sharing a couple of layouts created with the March Scrapshotz kit - Pinkfresh Studio's "My Favorite Story."

 

This simple layout has an Emerson quote that I thought was appropriate not only for the photo, but for this uncertain time. I used the new Lawn Fawn Oliver's Stitched ABC's Die Set. (I noticed that at present, this set is out of stock, but I'm sure if you let Sandy know, she can get you one!) I used a Zig marker for the handwriting in the quote.

The photo is nature at her finest and is highlighted with a Studio Katia stencil called Light Ray, using Vicki Boutin Wildflower & Honey Colour Wheel Pigment Ink gold. This metallic ink is solid and awesome, and it's hard to photograph how pretty it is.

I finished it off with a banner from the ephemera pack that I popped up on foam squares. I was planning to write a bit about this crazy time we're living through right now, but decided that I would like to put my thoughts in a note, put it in an envelope and put it behind the layout.

My second layout today used the Creative Scrapbooker challenge sketch for March 2020, shown here.

This color-blocked patterned paper from the My Favorite Story line needed nothing added. I loved this quote and knew that it definitely applied to my granddaughter, so used the beautiful white Thickers included in this months kit to put it on a black cardstock panel. The white printing is done with a Gelly Roll pen.

The blooms were fussy cut from another sheet of the patterned paper, then some were popped up with foam. The flower centers were embellished with drops of Nuvo Crystal Drops - Ebony Black. I love how they give the blooms some added life. I also embellished the page with some of the enamel dot stickers included in the kit.

Thanks for stopping by. Keep yourself and your families safe and well.
