October Kit Projects...Take Two

Happy Friday the 13th everyone!! Cathy here with some more projects using the gorgeous Scrap Shotz October Kit, featuring the Beautiful line from Simple Stories! The October Kit is available now and there are add ons to go with it!

I love home decor, especially anything I can put on a wall or display on a shelf. I did this frame up using one of the cut apart sheets from the 12X12 paper pack. There are so many to choose from, but the best part is, you can change up the center card message whenever you like. I did this one using a vertical card but you can also do a horizontal version.

I found this great frame at the thrift store for $1.50 and thought it would be perfect, already had a mat inside it too. I did not like the colour so a bit Dylusions White and Dylusions Black Paint and I have a frame I like.

I layered a 4X6 card on a piece of the patterned paper from the kit so it fit in the center of the mat. I fussy cut some of the flowers out and edged them in black ink. I also edged the frame in black to pull it together. You could use any colour for that part. Added gold hearts to the corners and some of the clear word stickers on the side.

For the flower in the foreground I cut all the petals and edge them in black as well.

More fussy cut flowers attached to the mat around the center card.

I did leave the frame just painted and edged in Distress Ink in Black Soot, that way I can just change out the mat board inside to what ever design and colour I would like.

And for my last project this month I did a 5X5 card and a regular size card. The cut aparts from the Beautiful line are so great for cards. And I love the positive words and encouragement.

The embellishments that come with this kit are so amazing. They all go together so well and there are so many options with this line. This is a 5X5 card and I used one of the cut aparts and just trimmed it down and layered in on squares cut from the paper.

The balloons are in the sticker book and are so adorable and the little tiny bow is one of the stickers too.

This little circle is from the chipboard set and is layered on a cut out piece of matching paper.

My second card is a regular size one. 

I used a striped pattern on the bottom layering piece and then used the matching washi tape to add stripes.

I fussy cut the feathers out of one of the cards and tucked them in behind the sentiment. And added the little bow on the top feather.

The matching floral washi tape is gorgeous. Used it for the background and cut a small banner out of it for the top corner.

Two different circle stickers added to the corner, and you can pop these up too if you want.

Yes the gold does shine that wonderfully!!

Hope you have all had a great week and enjoyed seeing the incredible projects this week from Katelyn and Rosie!! Coming up next week, the Design Team will be showing you projects featuring items available from Scrap Shotz! Stay tuned!

 

 

October Kit Projects with Cathy

WOW!! The October Monthly Kit from Scrap Shotz is amazing! Cathy here with my first two projects using the Beautiful line from Simple Stories. My first project is my layout based on the sketch from PageMaps

Here is my take on the layout.

My daughter is the lovely face in the pictures. I have never worked with a layout before but I sure will again. What a great way to get your pages started!

I was excited when I saw the ticket shape in the sketch since I knew I had some ticket dies that I had gotten and barely used! I die cut on the tickets and then used the small planner stickers from the Beautiful line to add some pop to them. The smaller stickers in the kit are perfect for adding some interest and not overwhelming the picture.

Using some more of the stickers to embellish the tickets, I love the gold!

For this little section I used a piece of the sticker stock that comes in the paper pack, hole punched it before adhering it. I then added the little banners and used a strip of washi tape over them both.

I used a couple of the chipboard pieces and those I attached with pop dots to give them some dimension.

For my second project I decorated an old black bucket I had. I wanted to use this little metal bucket for storage on my craft table and it was perfectly fine. Then I saw this month's kit and I knew this little bucket was going to get a make over. 

I used pieces from the paper pack and cut them to fit my bucket. I used pink polka dot and on the back I used the pink stripe. The Hello Beautiful card is from the paper pack as well, it comes on a cut apart sheet with great sayings. I did round the corners before I attached it.

I used the black and gold polka dot paper and my TH Tiny Tattered Florals to create the flowers and the flourishes are some dies I had in my stash. I hot glued the flowers on to make sure they stuck well.

I also used the TH Wildflowers die to fill in some of the space around the bucket.

I used the Tiny Tattered Florals so that there was some dimension to it, but not so much that the flowers would get knocked off when it got moved around. So now I have a much prettier storage container on my craft table, and who wouldn't like to see the words Hello Beautiful some times!

So glad you stopped by to see what the team is creating with the October Kit! Stay tuned for more kit creations and more posts from the team using other products from the store! Have a great long weekend everyone.
