Wild Whisper Strength Of The Season Layout

Hello friends! Karla back today with a layout I shared on the Wild Whisper Blog using the beautiful Strength Of The Season collection, available in the Scrap Shotz Store! I love that this collection has elements to scrap any season - literally or figuratively! The sentiments and images are beautiful and you can't go wrong grabbing these goodies for a crop or scrapbook day!

I decided to scrap a fall day where my youngest was still in shorts, enjoying the last of the summer weather. I love that I was able to combine summer and fall elements from this line. The papers are so beautiful, and if you haven't had the opportunity to scrap with them, you're going to love the thick, sturdy weight. 

I added some stamping directly on my page with the coordinating Strength Of The Season Stamp Set. I will definitely be using this for cards and scrapbooking! I even stamped the cute bee stamp, coloured in a bit of yellow and fussy cut it to add to my page as an embellishment. You can check out the stamped and coloured sunflower and acorns in the first photo above too!

There are beautiful sentiments and images in the Ephemera Pack and I layered them along with the coordinating Sequin Mix to finish embellishing the page. These sequins are going to be my go-to for spring projects too!!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the shop to check out the Strength Of The Season collection - you'll love it!! Have an amazing week friends!

How To Layer Your Scrapbooking Elements using Doodlebug Design & Video

Hello! Karla back again today with two more layouts using the adorable Doodlebug Design Winter Wonderland collection, the Marvy Snow Marker and the Wild Whisper Strength Of The Season Sequins. Sometimes it's hard to figure out how to incorporate several different designs of papers as well as all those cute stickers and ephemera, but if you take it step by step it really isn't hard at all! I've made a video, linked below, where you can see the process I use to layer up all these fun elements - AND show you how easy it is to use the awesome Snow Marker!

In the first layout you can see how I use various patterned papers - with a base of white cardstock. The green paper with white snow and the sweater print paper are both a more subtle pattern and let the moose border and SNOW cards shine!

I added some Distress Oxide Ink around the edges of some of the elements to give them a slight shadow. The Floral Spice Thickers complete my title. PS They are on sale!!

I layered on sticker words on top of the 3x4 card from the cut apart sheet and the pink snowflake, and then even added a few more pops of colour with the sequin mix.

I glued down the cute moose from the Odds & Ends pack and then popped up the Love This sticker from the 12x12 sticker sheet using foam tape. A tiny heart sticker from the cardstock sticker sheets is then added on top of that!

For the next layout I added in some mixed media in coordinating colours using Distress Oxide Sprays. You can see how this layout comes together in the video below!

Don't forget you can unscrew the Distress Oxide Sprays and use the nozzle for a more direct splatter effect. I also used some plastic packaging and did a smooshing technique for the background layer.

The Marvy Snow Marker is really fun to use and creates highlights, texture and dimension. The key is to let it dry slightly after applying and then carefully heat while keeping your heat gun moving. You can easily add a second layer for even more snowy goodness!

I had so much fun layering and adding pops of colour on this layout!!

Here's a look at the VIDEO where you can see just how I put this layout together!

Thanks so much for stopping by! It's Family Day weekend here in Alberta, and I hope you enjoy the long weekend coming up if you have one too! Don't forget you can always check out what's New in the Scrap Shotz Store HERE - in case you find yourself wanting to do a little crafty shopping while you're relaxing! 😉

Wild Whisper, Where to Next - Colour Focus

Hello, hello! I am having such a fantastic time playing with the Wild Whisper, Where to Next? goodies from the Scrap Shotz ship this month. The vibrant colours and happy, busy patterns of this collection and embellishments are making me smile!

Speaking of vibrant, bright patterns - today I wanted to share how I created a very simple, full of white space layout by focusing my attention on just a couple of colours from the collection. This is a trick I like to use whenever I am playing with papers or embellishment goodies that are really busy and bright. Which is such a fabulous signature of Wild Whisper collections.

Here is my layout:

My approach was simple - pick a couple die cuts or ephemera from the collection that looked great  together (in both colour and design). This was easy to do thanks to a Wild Whisper - everything in this collection matches beautifully. I picked that fabulous brown camera and the blue post it stamp phrase.

From there, I went through the rest of the collection goodies and found all the other bits and scraps that matched this brown, blue, camera and postage stamp look. I layered a bunch by my photo and makes a little cluster on the bottom right too.

Before adhering everything down, I did use one of the stencils from my stash and some white modelling paste to add a little texture to the Wild Whisper black and white postage stamp pattern and the white cardstock too. Then I added my title ‘Travel Journal’ and added some stitching too!

I really like how it turned out - I am off to play some more! Thanks for swinging by!

NEW Wild Whisper & Nicole Wright Designs - Media Assemblage Home Decor Inspiration!

Hello friends! Karla back again with a look at the gorgeous Media Assemblage paper line from Nicole Wright and Wild Whisper. Oh My Goodness... this line is AMAZING! Seriously, if you love mixed media - it's for you... if you love the look, but not the mess - it's for you... if you just love gorgeous paper - you guessed it - it's for you! But seriously, this paper is awesome. I recently shared three home decor ideas for Wild Whisper so I wanted to share them here since they are now in the Scrap Shotz Store!

To create some pretty wall art, I grabbed a couple dollar store frames and simply added the gorgeous paper inside. Next, I used some of the Strength of the Season cut files from the Wild Whisper Shop and used my Cricut Maker to cut them using Adhesive Foil. Check out the video linked below to see just how easy this was!

I really love these papers - think of how lovely this idea would be for teacher gifts, birthdays... And who wouldn't think this took you hours?!!

Love this quote - again one of the cut files from Wild Whisper that coordinates with the Strength Of The Season collection!

Lastly, I decided to cover some cardboard magazine holders with another sheet of the beautiful paper. After cutting the strips to fit the width I added some Wild Whisper Strength of the Season ephemera diecuts and a few sequins from Strength of the Season and the Masculine collections.

I can totally see using this paper to cover even more things - maybe even coordinate my albums... 

You can pick up the 6 pack or the double 12 pack and each package comes with one beautiful bonus sheet! 

To get a closeup of each of these papers, as well as the bonus sheet, and see how I put the wall art together - be sure to check out the video below.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a  really awesome week my friends - stay crafty!!

NEW Wild Whisper Masculine Collection - Scrapbook Layout Idea

Hello friends! Karla back today with a layout I created for Wild Whisper using the fabulous NEW Wild Whisper Designs Masculine Collection. Let me tell you, even if you don't have a guy in your life - you're going to want these gorgeous papers!! The colours and textured look of these 12x12 cardstock papers are amazing.... I wanted to create a layout about a card my husband and his mom have sent back and forth for each of their birthdays since 1983, and I just love how these papers worked together to document this special tradition.

I used a patterned paper background that looks like a wooden frame with a fabric insert. I decided to play on that by 'tacking' up the photos of the card with tack diecuts, cut out with my Cricut, adding a jar of Peanut Butter and a cute peanut, as well as the titles - all cut with the Cricut from the Wild Whisper papers. 'The Peanut Card' and 'EST 1983' are cut with Nicole Wright's new Media Assemblage papers, which are amazing! The Wild Whisper Papers work beautifully for diecuts.

Here, I used a mini frame from one of the cut apart pages and added my journaling inside it! 

I even used the branding strips, cutting them into washi tape strip pieces. The sequins in this collection are definitely delicious, and you're going to find lots of uses for them!

Here's a look at this amazing collection-

What to Make Next?

Hello, hello! I am loving the Wild Whisper, Where to Next? travel themed collection and am so excited to show you what I have created already. Full disclosure, the second my Unboxing Video was filmed ... I was at my scrap table cutting and painting and glueing!

First out of the gate was a need to use all the fabulous cameras in the ephemera pack - would you look at these? So cute! So I created a layout that allowed me to cascade a while host of them down the page interspersed with my photos.

For my background I randomly stamped a whole bunch of arrows from a Citrus Twist stamp set in my stash - arrows and travel go so well together! I used Staz On ink in black so the stamps would stay crisp while I added some teal watercolor also from my stash. The teal is a bit brighter than I thought - I was looking to match the teal of that stripped pattern paper down the right but I think it looks fun even in this shade.

Once everything was glued down I needed to add one more element - one of my most favourite final touches - a confetti of sequins from the exclusively design sequins for this collection by SpiegelMom Sequins! Love the splash of bling it brings any page.

For a title I was pretty blunt and called it what it is - our first Lager of the trip!

Thanks for stopping by - I am off to make more!
