Pinkfresh Studio Just a Little Lovely Layouts

Hello! Carolyn here today with a whole lot of layouts using the September kit! It is soooo pretty. The kit is mostly Pinkfresh Studio - Just a Little Lovely collection. It has beautiful acetate flowers, watercoloured papers and hand written puffy words. So awesome.

Layout #1 - Precious Moments

My first layout is about a very special member of my community. She wore the best outfits and I was lucky enough to get a picture of her and my daughter on a tropical themed day at church. Of course I loaded up on the flowers to go with their outfits.

The frame is a cut file from the Silhouette Store. I used the cardstock in the kit to cut and back it. The acetate flowers needed to pop so I backed them with white paper. I also was pretty impressed I could find ways to incorporate the phrase stickers into my journaling.

Layout #2 - Never Grow Up

I really wanted to colour these flowers. I used a rainbow strip at the bottom of the page and painted the flowers like the colour was coming up into the page. I tried to paint them lighter as I went up the page. I used some pop dots to pop up some flowers from the ephemera package. I love making titles with the handwritten words and the mini puffy alpha stickers. I had to restrain myself from painting this whole page!

Layout #3 - Ladder Ball

This layout was inspired by the September sketch on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine's Facebook page. Here is the sketch:

The circles made sense to me with the theme of ladder ball. So I used all sorts of enamel dots, a few punched cardstock circles and some of the Studio Katia Rainbow Dots. This was really easy to make so I encourage you to give it a try! How unique are those tags with the wooden tops?

Layout #4 - Smile, Sparkle, Shine

My final layout is probably my favourite. Who can resist a flower wreath? The background paper did all the work. I just backed my photo and tag with cardstock and added some embellishments. The tag has puffy sticker flowers on it because the flowers on the card didn't have any colour. Now it blends better with the wreath. 

I hope you found some inspiration here today! I can't wait to see what people make with this kit. Be sure to check out the new and improved website. I'll be back on the 25th with another September kit layout as part of our team blog hop. Have a great week!

Just A Little Lovely: September Scrap Shotz Kit

Hi All!

Rosie here and I am super stoked to share some of my projects created with the fantastic September kit. This kit is so awesome and versatile, I created 5 layouts and 6 cards. I had to force myself to stop working with it as I have a number of other projects I needed to complete by yesterday, lol 😊.

First up is this layout based on this Creative Scrapbooker Magazine September sketch:

I fussy cut the flowers from this sheet of paper:

Literally fussy cut the.entire.sheet, my fingers were a little numb by the time I finished😂.

I have layered the fussy cut blooms over some of the gold foiled acetate die cuts and then watercolored some of the white blooms with Nuvo Shimmer Powder.

I then incorporated the phrase stickers into my journaling.

The layout is finished off with a title created with the puffy alphas included in the kit and a tab from the die cut add on.

These patterned papers have a gorgeous water coloured like side and this next paper was perfect for my sunset photo:

I die cut yellow and pink leaves using a Silhouette cut file and my Cameo machine. I then applied Gina K Glitz Glitter Gel over the leaves through the Altenew Feathered Leaves stencil.

I placed the die cuts and embellishments within the same color on the patterned paper.

I used the kit puffy stickers, kit embellishments, paper strips from other projects and die cut add ons to embellish the layout, adhering most with foam tape to add dimension.

Can you tell how much I enjoyed these gold foiled acetate die cuts? They are so easy to work with, I added liquid glue and then rubbed it around with my finger and once it dries you can not see any adhesive at all.

I cut banners out of the patterned papers and inked the edges with Black Soot Distress Ink and a mini ink blending tool. The kit included pink card stock is inked with Distress Oxide Spun Sugar and  Abandoned Coral ink to create a peachy shade and the edges are inked with the black soot distress ink. The background was splattered with Blue Blitz Nuvo Shimmer Powder.

Much more inspiration to come, thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Simple Stories Happy Trails Layout Kit and Video

Hello! Karla back with a look at another amazing Layout Kit by Simple Stories! They have been knocking these awesome products out of the park, and this is another one I love 💓 The Simple Stories Happy Trails Layout Kit comes with Patterned Cardstock, Chipboard Stickers, Bits & Pieces and Journal Bits & Pieces (which are the cutest ephemera!!) and full instructions to create 2 double page layouts - that's 4 scrapbook pages!! You'll even have enough scraps and ephemera left over to add to some of your own cardstock and make even more projects.

Here's a look at the video where you'll see how beautiful these layouts are!

These pages would work for any outdoor, summer, camping or fall hike photos. I love the colours in the papers and ephemera. I added some Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink around the edges. Here is the Happy Trails Layout-

Some closeups-

I just love the way the papers, ephemera and stickers are layered. You'll be able to use these techniques with many other paper projects.

You even get measurements in the instructions so you know exactly where to place your papers, along with a photo reference.

Love this little scene and the star paper!

Here's the Born To Wander layout-

And closeups-

I love the florals they've added to these pages - and that plaid paper 🧡💙💛

If you did want to substitute any of the images or sentiments you have lots of leftovers to choose from.

Back To School Teacher Card

Hello! It's Karla back today to share a cute teacher card for back to school. We have had a fabulous summer vacation, but I think we are all just a bit excited about heading back for another year and getting back to a routine. My girls of course want to bring cards for their new teachers, so I grabbed a few different stamp and die sets and combined them for a cute card with a fun mixed media background.

I started off by colouring in the Hello Bluebird Just Sayin' animals with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. They blended nicely on Bristol Cardstock stamped in Gina K Amalgam Ink. This is truly my favourite stamping ink! It can be used with Copics or watercolours like the Zig Markers. 

I added the 'yay' and 'hello' sentiments from the Hello Bluebird set along with 'god bless you' from the Mama Elephant Mini Everyday Messages stamp set in the little signs the cute critters are holding. The 'Many Thanks' sentiment came from the Lawn Fawn So Owlsome stamp set. I just love how fun this card was by combining the stamps I had in my stash! 

The background piece was something from my craft drawer from a day I'd been playing with some watercolour mediums and my craft mat. It worked perfectly to layer being a stitched window diecut as a base for this fun, bright card. 

Inside, I used a sentiment from another school stamp from Studio Katia and coloured in the tiny ruler. 

The crayons were just perfect for this card, and came in the Hello Bluebird stamp set along with the little scissors. I added Glossy Accents to the crayons and used some white gel pen to add highlights. And, of course, all teachers love gold stars, so I found three to add just a bit of bling!

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope this has given you some inspiration to pull out different stamp sets and see how fun they can work together. Don't forget to check what's new in the Scrap Shotz Store, and have a very happy, very crafty week!

Faux Layered Background Die Card

Hi All,

Rosie here sharing a card using the Mama Elephant Circular Grid die. 

This Mama Elephant die cuts 12 circles, it works great with all the cute Little Agenda stamps Mama Elephant makes. After watching this Jennifer McGuire video I was inspired to create a layered background.

I decided to create a rainbow coloured background:

I cut panels from white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet card stock from my stash.

I started by layering the red panel behind the white panel, slightly offsetting it to one side so you can see a slice of red from the front.

I used liquid adhesive for the layers since it takes a little bit of time to dry so I could adjust the layer until it was right where I wanted it.

I continued adding the layers, in rainbow colour order, alternating from left side to right side. I used the white die cut as the guide for trimming the offset layers.

Once I finished adding all the layers I adhered the entire panel to a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" white note card. I die cut "happy" with a die from my stash in black card stock and white heat embossed "birthday" from the Mama Elephant Happy Everything stamp set.

I finished it off with a coating of Nuvo Crystal Glaze over the happy die cut.

I love how this turned out, so much fun to make!
