Use ALL the Die Cut Words

Hello, me again playing with the Cocoa Vanilla, Daydream collection (the September Scrapbook Kit). 

I know I have said it in past posts but I will say it again ... I love this collection, it really is so dreamy! I have not spared a single embellishment or touch here or there, no hoarding is possible with this beauty. All of it must find a forever home on a layout. 

In my pursuit to use it all (kill the kit as you may see on social media, a great hashtag to follow btw), I decided to take all of the remaining Die Cut Words and see if I could make a sentence to inspire my next layout. Well, my grammar is a bit off but the sentiment is perfect! 

Here is my layout titled "Lovely, little, big, beautiful, dream together. Our home."


Honestly, I did not do too much more to this layout besides the "fancy" title which I jazzed up a little by tucking the 3 little homes and some florals from the Die Cut pack in and about, added a few floral and heart stickers (which I first backed on white cardstock then fussy cut),and then tucked in a few of the phrase stickers too. The rainbow background pattern did all of the work for this design! 



The photo is an awful one - well I love the photo but it is not of great quality - so I printed it quite small 2x3. Printing small also left loads of room on the page for my long sentence title. (The photo was a just-for-fun selfie I took while we were out house hunting. We didn't know at the time this would be our home. We just moved in a couple of weeks ago!) 

I used one of the tags in the Die Cuts and the Pinkfresh Studio alphas in my kit to document the actual house address, and then tucked that behind the photo so it just peeps out. 


I love how this page turned out - sometimes I am inspired by a photo or a story, and sometimes I let the product do the work. Between the little Die Cut houses in this kit and the fact that such a fitting sentence came together for a big bold title is well .. a Daydream. See what I did there? wink, wink

New Product Review - Lawn Fawn Say What Pets Gift Tags and Video

Hello friends! Karla back today to share 6 adorable gift tags created with the super cute Lawn Fawn Say What Pets Stamp Set and Dies! I already had the Say What Critters and Gift Tag Die Set from a previous release and I thought this set would be a great addition to them. I do love that Lawn Fawn always has lots of sets that work with your other products you already own and love!! Here's a look at all 6 tags. I created three shaker tags and three more flat tags. Both kinds are easy to create and are definitely guaranteed to bring a smile to the face of whomever you give them to. Be sure to scroll down to the end where I'm sharing a video giving you a closeup look at all the tags and walking you through creating one of each kind.


I find that by using fun foam from my kids' craft drawer I am quickly and easily able to create my shaker areas with no fuss! These fun sequins from Studio Katia and Pretty Pink Posh add to the bright Spring feel of these tags.


And, oh my gosh.... these adorable sentiments! So super cute!! I coloured a whole bunch of these sweet animals up in different colours and then coordinated them with different colours of tag bases, frames and reinforcers from the Gift Tag Die Set. A few more sequins add just a little more bling. 


You can check out the video below for even more details and to see how easy it is to create both styles of tags!


Supplies:

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out all the fun NEW products in the Scrap Shotz Store, and have fun creating!! I hope you have an awesome weekend, and I'll be back next week to share another sweet new product with you 💗

Amelia Rose Collection Projects

Hey Scrap Shotz Fans!

 I'm excited to be back to share with you a few more projects which feature Prima Marketing's Amelia Rose Paper Collection. You can buy this collection as a kit from the store and it comes full of patterned paper, stickers, ephemera, flowers, journaling notecards and washi tape. Note, this is not part of our regular kit program. 

The Amelia Rose journaling notecards are full of inspirational quotes which were the focal points for my two projects today. For my first project, I created this pretty "Find Your Tribe" tag. Read below as I have a full tutorial below so that you can recreate it at home.


To start, pull out one of the Tim Holtz Etcetera - Small Tag. 


Trace the tag around a patterned paper piece as well as the ring for the top of the tag. Cut both traced pieces out. Distress the edges of the tag piece. Ink the edges of both pieces using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Next, you'll need to cut a patterned paper piece that measures 4 3/4" x 7 3/4". Lay a dotted stencil over top of the top left corner of the paper. Using a palette knife, apply texture paste through the stencil. Repeat the previous two steps, but this time, lay the stencil in the bottom right corner of the patterned paper piece. 


With the texture paste dry, rub Rose Gold Wax over top of the stenciled dots. On the bottom portion of the paper, choose a spot and tear the paper up. In the top portion of the paper, choose a spot and tear the paper down. Distress the edges of the paper. Ink the edges of the paper using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


You'll need to cut two other patterned paper pieces. One piece will measure 5 1/4" x 8 1/4" and the second piece will measure 5" x 8". Distress the edges. Ink the edges of the two patterned paper pieces using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. 


Choose three tickets. Distress the edges. Ink the edges of the tickets using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the journaling notecards, you'll need to take out four notecards. All will stay the same size, except the notecard with the postcard, you'll need to cut that one down to 2 5/8" x 3 3/4". Distress the edges. Ink the edges of all the pieces using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. 


From the white dot patterned paper, you'll need to cut a piece that measures 4" x 5 1/2". Cut a piece from the grid patterned paper that measures 3 1/4" x 4 1/4". Choose two borders from the bottom of the patterned papers. Cut one border to 4 3/4". Cut the second border to 4 1/2". Distress the edges of all pieces. Ink the edges of all the pieces using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the patterned paper with the butterflies and feathers, fussy cut two butterflies and one feather. Ink the edges of the images using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the floral paper, fussy cut out four single flowers and one flower bunch with a feather in it. Ink the edges of the images using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Choose two large pink flowers, eight pink roses, four cream roses and eight black roses.


From the ephemera package, pick out the pink ruler, the clock and two arrows.


Now it's time to assemble your tag.
Adhere the tag patterned paper piece to the tag. Adhere the top of the tag patterned piece to the top of the tag piece. Adhere the top of the tag piece to the top of the tag.


Adhere the 5 1/4" patterned paper piece to the tag. Adhere the 5" patterned paper piece to the 5 1/4" patterned paper piece. Adhere the 4 3/4" patterned paper piece to the 5" patterned paper piece.


Adhere one of the tickets 1" from the top of the patterned papers. Foams square the white dot patterned piece slightly underneath the ticket. Adhere another ticket 1 1/8" from the right of the white dot patterned paper.


Foam square one of the notecards on the bottom left hand side of the white dot paper. Adhere the second notecard to slightly underneath the ticket on the white dot paper. Foam square the third notecard slightly over top of the first two cards on the right hand side of the tag.


Adhere the "Find Your Tribe" notecard to the grid patterned paper. Adhere the third ticket to left hand side of the tag where the notecard is. Foam square the "Find Your Tribe" notecard to the center of the white dot paper.


Adhere the two borders and the ruler border underneath the "Find Your Tribe" sentiment. Off setting them as desired. 


In the bottom left hand corner, adhere the clock, one large pink flower, four black roses, two cream roses and four pink roses. On the right hand side of the sentiment, adhere the arrow.


In the top right hand corner, adhere one large pink flower, four black roses, four pink roses and two cream roses. 


In the top left hand corner, adhere the fussy cut flowers, butterflies and feather. Use foam squares where desired. 


To finish the top of your tag, add a pink ribbon bow.


Here are a few closeup shots of the finished tag.






Here's the finished "Find Your Tribe" Tag.


For my last project, I created this quick but pretty card using the scrap patterned paper pieces that I had.


Once I adhered the inspirational notecard on the card, I layered in amongst the flowers different images. Once the flowers and images where adhered, I added in a few sparkly rhinestones.  


In the top right hand corner, I kept it light by just using flowers. Once the flowers had been adhered, I added in a few of the sparkly rhinestones. To give some character on the right hand side of the card, I tore part of the paper. 


Here's the finished card with all the elements.

My Favorite Things: Grateful Stamp

Hello! It's Julia here today and I'm sharing 3 cards and a tag I made using products

First up are 2 cards I made featuring this gorgeous stamp from My Favorite Things.

I started by choosing 2 - 4x6 journaling elements from the Simple Stories Collection Kit. These are perfect for making a quick card. I then used my Tim Holtz Stamping Platform to stamp my image. I wanted to do some layered stamping and the stamp platform made this so easy to get the look I wanted.
 On this card  I first stamped with Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ( I spritzed my inked stamp with water before stamping). I cleaned my stamp and let my stamped image dry before stamping it again with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide. I added the coordinating stickers and mounted on my white cardstock base to finish.

On this card, I used the same technique but used  Candied Apple & Black Soot Distress Oxides for the layered stamping. On this card I used the branch stamp from the MFT stamp set and stamped it in Peeled Paint and Fired Brick Distress Oxides before fussy cutting and adhering to my card under the Heart sticker.  

It's never too early to get Christmas cards and tags started - 

I created this tag using a piece of pattern paper from the Simple Stories Cabin Fever Collection. I used Distress Grit-Paste to create my snow with a palette knife and stencil. Next I took the bear, snowman and Snow Days element from the Carta Bella Cabin Fever Chipboard stickers sheet to create my scene. 

The chipboard stcikers from the Carta Bella Cabin Fever collection were just so dang cute that I decided to use up as many of the small ones as I could. The Mosaic die from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous was perfect to create the background for this next card. I added and stamped crazy dog and  assembled my card. This card is too chunky to mail but it be great for a hostess gift this upcoming holiday season.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you have been inspired by the design team this month.
